The Sword Sect had never thought of seizing any benefits from other forces. Firstly, the Sword Sect did not lack these things, and ordinary treasures were nothing in the eyes of the higher-ups of the Sword Sect. Hence, there was no need for them to do so.

Firstly, the Sword Sect did not lack these things, and ordinary treasures were nothing in the eyes of the higher-ups of the Sword Sect. Hence, there was no need for them to do so.
Secondly, the Sword Sect wanted to control the Great Thousand World. It should not be a world where only the Sword Sect existed, but a world where hundreds of flowers bloomed.
Imagine if there was only one force in the entire Great Thousand World, the Sword Sect. What would it be like? Furthermore, would the Sword Sect alone have the ability or the manpower to deal with the matters of the entire Great Thousand World?
It might be possible to deal with major matters, but what about the trivial matters? Would the Sword Sect alone be able to deal with all aspects?
Hence, the Sword Sect could not destroy all the forces in the Great Thousand World. To put it bluntly, the current Sword Sect, or rather Xiao Chen's idea, was to set the rules.
The Sword Sect would set the new rules of the Great Thousand World, and all the major forces in the Great Thousand World would have to revolve around these rules. This was the Sword Sect, or rather, Xiao Chen's real idea.
Hence, not only would Xiao Chen not exploit the forces that chose to submit to the Sword Sect, but he would even give them some benefits so that they would remember the benefits of the Sword Sect.
Since Xiao Chen had given his guarantee, Dan Qingyang and Fu Di naturally had nothing else to say. They immediately expressed that Dan Valley and Fu Di were willing to submit to the Sword Sect.
After hearing their declarations, Xiao Chen smiled. It seemed that the Sword Sect's prestige had indeed increased greatly after defeating Mu Tian Mountain. This was good too. At least the following matters would be much easier to handle.
That day, at Mu Tian Mountain, Xiao Chen held a banquet to celebrate Dan Qing Yang and Fu Di's defection. Moreover, the news quickly spread.
Hearing that even the Dan Valley and the Talisman Sect had submitted to the Sword Sect, more and more forces made their choice.
After the banquet ended and they returned to their residence, Xiao Chen did not rest. Instead, he discussed some matters with Xuanyuan Ling and Long Qing.
"This time, Dan Valley and Talisman Sect's allegiance is indeed very important." Xuanyuan Ling took a sip of tea and said.
After hearing Xuanyuan Ling's words, Xiao Chen nodded noncommittally. However, he sighed softly and said, "Now the situation in the Great Thousand World has stabilized, but it is still far from what I want."
After hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xuanyuan Ling and Long Qing were stunned. The two of them obviously did not understand what Xiao Chen meant. The current situation could be said to be very good, but Xiao Chen seemed to be far from achieving his goal. However, in the eyes of Xuanyuan Ling and Long Qing, the Sword Sect's current development was already very good. Moreover, its position as the overlord of the Great Thousand World was already worthy of its name.
The two of them did not know or could not understand what Xiao Chen was trying to say. Seeing their expressions, Xiao Chen smiled.
"Big Brother, Second Sister, what do you think of the Sword Sect now?"
"It has been reborn. It is worthy of being the number one force in the Great Thousand World," Xuanyuan Ling replied. Although Long Qing did not say anything, she nodded in agreement.
However, Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "It's not enough. This is far from enough. Big Brother, Second Sister, you have seen the Cloud Palace and Immortal Palace with your own eyes. The Sword Sect is simply too far away from these two forces."
The Sword Sect was indeed worthy of being the overlord of the Great Thousand World. If one only looked at the Great Thousand World, the Sword Sect was indeed powerful enough. Not to mention that no one would be able to surpass it in the future, it was at least unprecedented.
After all, in the history of the Great Thousand World, there had never been a force that could suppress the heroes of the Great Thousand World like the Sword Sect and make them bow down to it.
From this point of view, the Sword Sect was indeed very strong. However, was Xiao Chen's vision really limited to the Great Thousand World? This was clearly impossible.
After seeing the power and prosperity of other universes, and after seeing the Cloud Palace and Immortal Palace, Xiao Chen's vision was no longer limited to the Great Thousand World.
In Xiao Chen's mind, dominating the Great Thousand World was not a goal at all. This was because this was something that had to be done. The Sword Sect could definitely do it, so it could not be called a goal at all.
Xiao Chen's true goal was to develop the Sword Sect to the level of Immortal Palace and Cloud Palace, so that the Sword Sect could be on par with Immortal Palace and Cloud Palace in the future. This was Xiao Chen's goal.
With the Sword Sect's current situation, it was indeed as difficult as ascending to the heavens to achieve this goal. After all, the strength of the Cloud Palace and Immortal Palace was enough to make the Sword Sect, or rather, the entire Great Thousand World, look up to them.
Meanwhile, if the Sword Sect wanted to achieve this goal, it was not something that could be done purely through hard work. The trials and tribulations they had to go through would definitely not be few, to the extent where it could be said to be unavoidable.
However, this was precisely what Xiao Chen thought. The Sword Sect had to become powerful, had to become one of the greatest powers in the countless universes.
In Xiao Chen's mind, even though the Cloud Palace and Immortal Palace seemed to be extremely generous in helping out this time, Xiao Chen was sure that there was definitely a secret behind this that he did not know about.
If there was no secret behind this, there was no way Immortal Palace and Cloud Palace would help the Sword Sect without asking for anything in return.
Meanwhile, Xiao Chen did not wish for the relationship between the two sides to continue like this. In other words, the Sword Sect, Immortal Palace, and Cloud Palace looked like they were partners, but with the Sword Sect's strength, it was truly difficult for them to climb up to these two great powers.
If this continued for a long time, how was the Sword Sect supposed to get along with Immortal Palace and Cloud Palace? Were they going to rely on them or submit to these two great powers? Or were they going to become guns in the hands of these two great powers? Or cannon fodder?
These results, regardless of which one it was, were clearly not what Xiao Chen wanted to see. That was why Xiao Chen wanted the Sword Sect to become stronger, to the point where they could stand on equal footing with Immortal Palace and Cloud Palace. Only like this could the relationship between the three great powers truly reach a balance.
In this world, strength was everything. Regardless of who one interacted with, whether one's fist was strong or not was the most important issue.
Blindly relying on the strength of others, or waiting for the help of others, Xiao Chen understood clearly what the final result would be. Meanwhile, this type of result was definitely not something Xiao Chen wanted to see.
That was why Xiao Chen wanted the Sword Sect to become stronger on their own, to have a power that did not need to rely on Immortal Palace and the Sword Sect's help, to have the ability to face all threats on their own. This was the goal the Sword Sect should pursue in the future.
Xiao Chen's thoughts and goals. When they heard these words, Xuanyuan Ling and Long Qing stared blankly. They never expected Xiao Chen to actually be thinking about these things the entire time.
Seeing the two's continuously changing expressions, Xiao Chen indifferently said, "Big brother, second sister, the great world is only one of the countless universes. We shouldn't place our sights on this. The Sword Sect is the same."
