Xiao Chen wanted to change the name of the Sacred Palace. Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Cang Xing and the other elders of the Sword Sect frowned slightly, while Dao Jue, Dan Xin and the others smiled.
To the elders of the Sword Sect like Cang Xing, changing the name of the Sacred Palace was naturally unacceptable. This was because wouldn't that mean that the Sword Sect would be removed from the Vast Thousand Domains just like the Saber Sect?
To Dao Jue and the others, they clearly supported Xiao Chen's decision. After all, changing the name to the Sacred Palace meant that everything would start anew. Not only would the Saber Sect be removed from the list of the four great sects, but even the Sword Sect would be removed from the list.
This way, the disciples of the four great sects would naturally find it easier to accept.
Xiao Chen's thoughts were actually the same. However, to Xiao Chen, the real reason for this decision was mainly because Xiao Chen wanted a fresh start.
The current Sword Sect was no longer the Sword Sect of the past. There wasn't much meaning in continuing to use the name Sword Sect. Moreover, the Sacred Palace wasn't just a fresh start for Xiao Chen. It was a sect that belonged to him, a sect that he had founded himself.
Xiao Chen didn't speak immediately when he saw the different expressions on everyone's faces. Instead, he gave them enough time to think. At the same time, Xuanyuan Ling, who sat below Xiao Chen, remained calm. He knew about Xiao Chen's thoughts in advance.
Xiao Chen had already told Xuanyuan Ling his thoughts a few days ago. Xuanyuan Ling didn't say anything about this and only supported Xiao Chen unconditionally.
After about the time it took to brew a cup of tea, Cang Xing spoke first, "Sect Master, should we reconsider this matter?"
Cang Xing clearly didn't support Xiao Chen's idea. In his opinion, the Sword Sect would cease to exist once the name was changed. This made Cang Xing very reluctant.
After all, Cang Xing had contributed his entire life to the Sword Sect. Xiao Chen could understand this, so after hearing Cang Xing's words, Xiao Chen also spoke.
"I know, but as the saying goes, there can be no construction without destruction. Changing the name to Sacred Palace doesn't mean that the Sword Sect will cease to exist. It's the same for the Saber Sect and Moon Palace. After the Sacred Palace is established, I plan to establish five sects, and one of them is the Sword Sect."
Xiao Chen paused and then looked at Cang Xing seriously. "Cang Xing, I know about your feelings for the Sword Sect. Similarly, you don't need to doubt my feelings for the Sword Sect. However, the Sword Sect has reached a point where it has to change. Moreover, don't be too short-sighted. In the future, we won't be facing the Great Thousand World, but the various universes outside the Great Thousand World. Only by becoming stronger can we support the entire Great Thousand World."
Changing the name to Sacred Palace was a win-win situation. Not only would it perfectly resolve the conflict between the disciples of the Sword Sect and the disciples of the four great sects, it would also be of great help to the future development of the Sword Sect. It would stabilize the situation within the Sword Sect in the shortest time possible.
Similarly, changing the name to Sacred Palace would be a rebirth and transformation for the Sword Sect. It would allow everyone to forget the past and start anew. This was also the result that Xiao Chen wanted.
Cang Xing fell silent when he heard Xiao Chen's words. He didn't continue speaking, but he didn't express his support either.
He knew that Xiao Chen's decision wasn't wrong, but he couldn't bear to part with the Sword Sect. Even if the Sword Sect would still exist in the Sacred Palace, the significance would be different.
Xiao Chen had already expected Cang Xing's reaction. Cang Xing had deep feelings for the Sword Sect, so it was indeed difficult for him to accept it. However, changing the name to Sacred Palace was something that couldn't be stopped. No one could stop it.
Therefore, after comforting Cang Xing, Xiao Chen continued. The Apex
"I've been thinking about changing the name to Sacred Palace. After changing the name, there will be five sects under the Sacred Palace. They are the Sword Sect, the Blade Sect, the Moon Sect, the Symbol Sect, and the Alchemy Sect."
The five sects were set up by Xiao Chen in consideration of the current situation of the Sword Sect disciples.
For example, the former Blade Sect disciples had cultivated the Dao of the Blade since the beginning. If they were forced to change to the Dao of the Sword, it would be equivalent to destroying their own martial path and destroying their own future.
Xiao Chen naturally wouldn't do such a foolish thing. It was the same for the former Sword Sect disciples. Asking them to give up the Dao of the Sword was also unacceptable.
At the same time, the disciples of the Symbol Sect and Dan Valley had their own strengths. Therefore, Xiao Chen's goal was to allow them to maximize their strengths. This was why he had the idea of setting up five sects.
The five sects were set up to allow the disciples to better utilize their strengths instead of blindly restricting them.
The disciples of the Dan Valley were proficient in the Dao of Alchemy, so they would enter the Alchemy Sect and specialize in the Dao of Alchemy. Only then would they be able to make the best use of their talents.
In addition to setting up five sects, Xiao Chen also refined many other things, such as the Martial Skills Hall, Miscellaneous Hall, Mission Hall, Elders Hall, Elders Hall, Head Elders, and so on.
The biggest change was the position of the Elders. After the five sects were set up, the Elders were divided into two echelons. One was the Elders of the Five Sects. They were only responsible for the affairs of their respective sects and had the same status as the current ordinary Elders.
Above the Elders of the Five Sects were the Head Elders. The Head Elders were responsible for the affairs of the entire Sacred Palace and had a higher status than the Elders of the Five Sects. They were not under the jurisdiction of the Sect Masters of the Five Sects and directly answered to Xiao Chen.
Of course, Xiao Chen had already thought about the Sect Masters of the Five Sects. They were Dao Jue and the others. As for the Sect Master of the Sword Sect, Xiao Chen intended to hand him over to Cang Xing. This was also a kind of affirmation for Cang Xing.
The Sect Masters of the Five Sects were each responsible for the affairs of the Five Sects. As for the higher-ups of the Sacred Palace, they were in charge of the entire Sacred Palace.
This was the general framework of the Sacred Palace. It was much more complete than the current Sword Sect.
After explaining the general idea to everyone, Xiao Chen's words made everyone speak one after another. They discussed and made changes to some of the details according to Xiao Chen's ideas.
This included the division of resources for each disciple, the reward and punishment system, the disciple's rank and so on.
Everyone in the hall discussed heatedly. Under everyone's suggestions, the Sacred Palace's rewards were constantly improved.
Xiao Chen only provided a general framework, and the details were almost all discussed by everyone. This method also made everyone present feel more of a sense of belonging to the Sacred Palace.
After all, everyone had participated in the establishment of the Sacred Palace. It could be said that the establishment of the Sacred Palace was the result of everyone's hard work. Even Dao Jue, Dan Xin, Chu Ming and the others felt a sense of belonging to the Sacred Palace after the discussion.
