The five Sect Leaders’ expressions beca gravely serious after the Inspector ntioned the "Cultivating Gu to Beco a God" plan.
Initially, when the five had just beco Sect Leaders, they were filled with desire for the plan
and possessed utmost confidence.
But over the years, they were thoroughly disillusioned.
In three hundred years, the best achievent of the Yixin Sect was having their contestants enter the top ten, sixteen tis, and the top three only once.
Three hundred years, equivalent to one hundred selections. Only once in the top three, and rely sixteen tis in the top ten—it was clear how dismal the results were.
Yet, in the Five Sects of Southeast, this was actually the highest number, tied with the Yemo Sect—both with sixteen occurrences in the top ten.
And there were thirty tis when the entrants perished completely.
A complete wipe-out.
The ti the Yixin Sect managed to enter the top three, it was due to a General Level disciple who fought desperately to make it into the top three. But he died on the way back from internal injuries...
So it was as if it never happened.
Though he died, though it was as if it never happened, the Yin Shen Palace still used this fact to firmly suppress the Yemo Sect.
"You don’t need to worry about whether we die or not, we have made it to the top three at least; have you?"
As for the Heavenly God Sect, San Sheng Sect, Mingguang Sect... their situations were even worse.
For example, the Mingguang Sect was shaved bald fifty-four tis—fifty-four tis, all their sent contestants died!
Talk about it, and you’d be on the verge of tears.
...
The Cultivating Gu to Beco a God Plan, as the na implies, is about the seed disciples from various sects fighting to the death among themselves.
In that special environnt, upon killing the opponent, their Five Spirits Gu could be devoured by one’s own. This opportunity, monopolized by the Wei Wo Zheng Sect, could only be orchestrated once every three years with the combined effort of the entire sect.
Using Divine Power to fuse the devouring effect of the Five Spirits Gu.
Afterwards, a three-year incubation is required again.
Cultivation can only withstand the mutual devouring of those at the General Level; exceed that, and the fusion will not succeed.
Only the top fifty are selected each ti.
And these fifty beco the primary focus of future cultivation.
Out of tens of thousands of seed players, only fifty remain after the mutual devouring.
The number of devoured Five Spirits Gu determines the ranking.
Also determined by the number devoured is the future position granted: the more you devour, the more people you can contact with your own Five Spirits Gu.
The more people you can contact, the more exceptional your leadership abilities are considered.
Whether you beco a Hall Master, a Vice Sect Hierarch, or a Sub-Sect Leader...
All stem from here.
Take Fang Che, for example. He can currently only communicate passively; three people have recognized his Communication Jade, and he can only pass ssages to these three.
But he is rely recognized.
When he contacts the Yin Shen Palace, he cannot simultaneously receive or contact another person.
The Yin Shen Palace can, however.
But if Fang Che were to devour the Five Spirits Gu of ten people, he could freely choose ten individuals to send ssages to. And this choice, recognizing whom, is up to you to initiate.
And it’s by this thod that the Wei Wo Zheng Sect developed a communication power that reigns supre across the continent.
The Yin Shen Palace, Kou Yifang, and others were all previous top ten winners in the Cultivating Gu to Beco a God Plan.
They were gradually promoted step by step, from being appointed as Hall Masters of their respective halls, then as Vice Sect Hierarchs, and finally as Leaders of subsidiary sects.
Without having been through the Cultivating Gu to Beco a God Plan, or notwithstanding having the chance to beco Leader of hall master, it is absolutely impossible to advance further.
Yet those who have experienced the Plan, especially those ranked at the forefront, are also the key individuals grood by the Sect Leaders, whether as successors, or as a part of their own base, or as... stepping stones upward.
Those from our sect are the true direct lineage!
Therefore, this is an imnse affair for the entire Wei Wo Zheng Sect.
All the high-ranking mbers, all the bigwigs qualified to train newcors, are watching closely.
Now the ti for this plan is upon us once again.
As the Southeast Patrol Envoy finished speaking, he began to observe the reactions of several individuals below; if anyone had a prodigy at hand, their faces would surely show reactions right now.
After looking around, there was a trace of disappointnt.
The Heavenly God Sect’s Kou Yifang’s eyes flickered—well, not much hope.
San Sheng Sect’s Guan Shan Du’s face was flushed—just like last ti, and moreover, this guy was naturally red-faced, seems there’s not much hope there either.
Yemo Sect’s Hai Wuliang was rubbing his hands eagerly—as if sowhat confident, but this man’s actions are unreliable, boastful, further observation needed.
Mingguang Sect Leader Gu Shanfeng appeared pensive—it seed he had a candidate in mind, but without confidence. It’s cooled down as well.
The Inspector sighed.
He felt increasingly pessimistic.
And when his gaze fell on the Yin Shen Palace, his pessimism grew.
The Yin Shen Palace had a solemn, even sowhat anxious expression.
Right there and then, the Inspector sighed, feeling concerned that the Yin Shen Palace might falter.
And for the Yin Shen Palace, it was not just an issue of a solemn expression; he struggled to conceal his true feelings—because he even felt a great sense of crisis.
In the previous instances of the Cultivating Gu to Beco a God Plan, he didn’t really concern himself with it; he let the Vice Sect Hierarchs draft the list, and then he approved it for those people to participate.
The cultivation within the sect following their return.
Including the upcoming one as well.
Mostly people from Vice Sect Leader Zhong Yuan.
He had previously been unaware of the Vice Sect Hierarch’s ulterior motives. The Yin Sect Leader never minded, since they were all from Yixin Sect, what difference did it make?
But after being reminded by Yemo this ti, the Yin Sect Leader no longer saw it that way.
This is a den of freakin’ wolf cubs!
And after so many years, there are now so many dens of them—the need to be wary upon my return, to pluck them out one by one, is imperative.
But right now, the most pressing matter is the upcoming Cultivating Gu to Beco a God Plan, and I don’t have any suitable General Level masters on hand.
The suitable General Level masters of the Yixin Sect were already selected three years ago. After selection, the spots for this term were secured, and then they were concentrated in the Law Enforcent Hall and War Hall for tempering.
And both the Law Enforcent Hall and the War Hall are under the charge of Vice Sect Leader Zhong Yuan.
Thinking of this, the Yin Sect Leader felt even more grave.
After serving as the Sect Leader for hundreds of years, such a thing has slipped through my grip!
No one to use!
This is indeed a bit embarrassing.
But... Zhong Yuan has been under my command for three hundred years, always truly loyal, closer than my own son.
Sigh.
Thinking back to how Zhong Yuan had served like a dog for over two hundred years.
The Yin Sect Leader couldn’t help but admire, giving a bitter smile in his heart.
"People serve as dogs for hundreds of years for such an opportunity; just for this perseverance, this temperant, I can’t do it."
"Even if Zhong Yuan succeeds, it would definitely not be down to luck. It’s what he deserves!"
"But now, I’ve found out... so your more than two hundred years of playing the dog were destined to be in vain!"
But bringing my thoughts back, the imdiate concern is still this Cultivating Gu to Beco a God Plan.
I must provide reliable hands to prove to my backers that I, the Yin Sect Leader, am still reliable.
January of next year, huh.
It’s already August now.
Only five months left.
The Yin Sect Leader thought of Yemo.
He’s only a Second Grade Grandmaster now, can he catch up?
Even if he manages to break through to General Level by then, at best he would only be at the standard of First and Second Grade, far behind those people under Zhong Yuan.
For a mont, while the four sect leaders were silently pondering their General Level subordinates, the Yin Sect Leader felt sowhat at a loss.
Frowning, I just couldn’t see a way forward.
Hai Wuliang looked up and saw the expression on the Yin Sect Leader, couldn’t help but be startled, and sneered, "Yin Sect Leader, what are you worrying about? Why such a lancholic look? Do you need this little brother to help cheer you up?"
The Yin Sect Leader, in a bad mood, cursed directly, "None of your damn business! Worry about yourself instead. Every ti the Yemo Sect cos last. This ti, I think your position is going to be shaken."
Hai Wuliang was furious, "You!"
But he turned his head and looked at the grim face of the Inspector, and finally stopped talking.
"Hmph, just try your best. I don’t care how you do it, but this ti, we of the Southeast Road, must make it into the top three!"
The Inspector glared at the Yin Sect Leader and said ominously, "Yin Sect Leader, three years ago you said that the seeds for this ti were pretty good, hopeful to take the top spot. I hope it’s not a joke."
"..."
Three years ago I did say that, but wasn’t that three years ago?
At that ti, I didn’t know about Zhong Yuan’s wild ambitions.
Those seeds, damn it, are all Zhong Yuan’s people.
I don’t have any of them now.
This ti, if I succeed in making the top three, I’m afraid it’ll be digging my own grave—Zhong Yuan will definitely play hard to get and send people to the Main Sect for cultivation, and will never give a chance to strike!
The Yin Sect Leader, with a stomach full of bitter gall, could only swallow it down himself, "Rest assured, sir! This ti, I will not disappoint!"
"I hope what you say is accurate and that you can truly bring a surprise."
The Inspector walked away.
The Yin Sect Leader, weighed down with worries, also left imdiately.
He didn’t even greet anyone.
This caused Kou Yifang and Guan Shan Du, who had wanted to talk with him, to be taken aback.
Hai Wuliang cackled strangely, "Looking at that unlucky disposition of the Yin Sect Leader, he’s just like a cuckolded husband, such a downbeat air, with worries hanging off his nose—this idiot definitely isn’t prepared."
The other sect leaders just snorted, "You should worry about yourself. If the Yin Sect Leader doesn’t make the top three, do you think you can? Have you ever?"
Hai Wuliang was enraged, "You just wait and see! I’ll let my guys wipe out yours!"
He soared into the air and vanished in an instant.
"Farewell!"
The other three sect leaders also greeted each other and left to prepare.
The Yin Sect Leader fluttered down into the forest, where Mu Lin Yuan and Hou Fang, ghostlike, had been waiting: "Sect Leader, how did it go?"
Ever since learning that Zhong Yuan might have ulterior motives, the Yin Sect Leader never went out alone.
Besides his close guards, Mu Lin Yuan and Hou Fang were always lurking nearby.
Now, knowing the other party’s ambitions, the Yin Sect Leader would never give him any chance.
"Things aren’t looking good."
The Yin Sect Leader frowned and said, "Other things aside, but this Cultivating Gu to Beco a God Plan has left at a complete loss. It’s about to begin, and yet, we have... sigh, no one at our disposal."
"Not a single one!"
The deep sigh of the Yin Sect Leader truly resonated.
