In the end, the four sects didn't really shed all pretense of cordiality.
Although the Non-Phase Master and disciple's cynical ridicule made the other three sects' Elders completely embarrassed, at least they managed to maintain the situation at the level of verbal bombardment rather than a more tragic level.
Lingjian School didn't have the intention to shed all pretense of cordiality, because the next thing to do was a big thing, which needed the support of the other sects, especially Shengjing Sect.
Just like everyone had realized, this huge treasure trove was not something that could be monopolized by any one sect, and it was even not something that could be monopolized by the four sects that were present. According to the star chart, there were thousands upon thousands of immortal treasures. And in theory, since this place was formed by Dixian's reversal of the world's main path, the immortal treasures were, in fact, inexhaustible. The so-called thousands upon thousands was not the total number of immortal treasures, but the number that could be mined at the same time. In other words, if there were thousands upon thousands of elite adventurers comparable to Wang Lu, it was possible to mine thousands upon thousands of immortal treasures at once. Of course, even if they searched the entire Wanxian League, how many people like Wang Lu could they find?
This kind of Immortal Abode was absolutely not something that could be monopolized by any one sect. Moreover, there was not much meaning in monopolizing it. The benefits that you could get would not increase, instead, it would cause the world's cultivators to lose a great opportunity. This was completely harming others without benefiting oneself. Once the news was leaked, it would instead provoke the world's resentment.
Therefore, the solution to this matter was to share it. Not only with the three sects of Shengjing Sect, Kunlun Sect, but also with the more than one thousand and three hundred sects of the Wanxian League, Xiao Qi Sect.
Lingjian School intended to announce this news to the world.
Of course, this was not out of any eagerness for justice, but to seek a greater benefit.
As long as one put in effort, it was possible to obtain immortal treasures in an immortal level tomb, which was tantamount to Immortal Abode, enough to make the world's people scramble like ducks. And once the world's people scramble like ducks, an excellent opportunity to get rich would follow. Throughout the ages, the richest person had always been the one who distributed the wealth, not the one who created it. Instead of risking one's life and diligently digging in the millions of tombs, it was better to directly summon all the cultivators in the world to enter the tombs and dig out the treasures. Then, they would take a cut from it and enjoy the fruits of others' labor.
The percentage of the cut wouldn't be too much. As long as they took 10% of the harvest, it would accumulate into an abnormally rich harvest. Of course, there had to be an explanation for this 10% cut. Otherwise, it would be considered robbery. Perhaps everyone could accept it in the beginning, but not long after, they would question why they would want a share of the treasures that they had worked so hard and risked their lives to obtain.
However, this problem was not difficult to solve. The star map that Wang Lu projected was the best reason.
We have a map. Do you want it? If you don't want it, you have to promise me a tenth of the profits. Tsk tsk, your courage is commendable. In this dangerous place where you can die at any time, one more piece of information means one more chance of survival. Are you sure you don't want it?
As for the act of buying a copy of the map and casually spreading it, first of all, it was against the harmony of heaven. Reading it was one thing, but spreading a pirated copy could easily lead to a divine tribulation, so usually, no one dared to try it. Secondly, the structure of Dixian's tomb was not fixed. In addition to the initial ancient sword tomb, the rest of the tombs had to be built according to the situation of these cultivators. The test checkpoints, guardian monsters, and the final reward were all randomly generated. Thus, the content of the map was naturally not fixed. In essence, it was more like a set of exquisite calculations. As long as the situation of the cultivators who entered the tomb was inserted into the map, one could roughly speculate the situation that might be encountered in the tomb. The tens of millions of tombs that Dixian built had tens of millions of different calculations. Wang Lu only sold one map at a time, so simple duplication was meaningless.
However, these were only technical issues. To truly unify the resources of the Nine Regions Immortal Cultivation World and establish such a tax mechanism, relying on one sect alone was absolutely not enough. Especially with the sparse population of Lingjian School, it was even more powerless. Therefore, it must pull in Shengjing Sect, the leader of the Immortal Cultivation World. Of course, Kunlun Immortal Sect and Ten Thousand Arts Sect, the two sects of the Five Uniques, couldn't be left behind. Otherwise, in practice, if these two giants kept hindering them, they wouldn't be able to play.
Of course, the above was just the basic idea. To really establish such a set of game rules, it needed a lot of work.
"In short, let's set up a special committee first."
During the silence, the one with the highest status, Feng Yin, opened his mouth.
"With our four sects as the leader, along with Royal Soldier Sect, Myriad Appearance Sect, and other top rank sects, we will jointly form a special committee to deal with all matters in this underground immortal tomb. The committee will not be under the jurisdiction of any organization and will operate independently. The number of members will be no more than fifty. There will be five standing committee seats, as well as a chairman. The term of office and election method are to be determined. However, the first chairman will be me, and later on, it will be rotated. "
When these words came out, the elders of the other three sects looked at each other in dismay. They were not in a hurry to answer.
For this kind of strategic matter, they couldn't make a decision on behalf of their sects. Thus, they had to use their own magical ability and immediately contact their respective sect leaders.
A moment later, the leaders of the other sects sent back a message. They had no objection to Feng Yin Daoist Master's proposal. After all, Feng Yin Daoist Master's proposal was generally fair. Although directly taking the position of the first chairman seemed a bit tyrannical, after all, the core part of the whole set of game rules was owned by Lingjian School. Thus, it was natural for them to have more benefits. It was believed that in the future, among the fifty committee members, although Lingjian School had the least number of people, the proportion of the committee members would not be lower than any other sect.
Of course, the specific establishment of the committee still needed to be discussed separately. However, this idea has been approved by four of the Five Uniques of the Wanxian League, so it was basically passed.
The next question was: What about the key?
No matter how excited everyone was to think about the future, the premise of all this was that everyone at least had to be able to enter the tomb. Now that the key to open the door was unfortunately lost, if they couldn't find it, no matter what they said, it would be useless.
This was also the main reason why Lingjian School wanted to unite all the sects. After more than ten thousand years, to find an unknown key was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Even Feng Yin Daoist Master's Star Diffraction Technique couldn't find any clues. Thus, they could only widely mobilize the masses and cast a net to catch it. According to Sword Demon, the key itself was an immortal treasure. It shouldn't be an ordinary item on the continent. Moreover, its magical power was related to the creation of heaven and earth, so it was very likely to be a space-time immortal treasure. But even so, only a few sects could unite and mobilize all the immortals in the world to have a hope of finding the key in a short period of time.
Similarly, the search for the key was also a matter of competition and cooperation. It was true that everyone worked together, but the party who obtained the key in the end would undoubtedly have a larger share in the committee. And this was also one of the reasons why Feng Yin Daoist Master didn't ask for too much of the committee's authority. If Lingjian School had already obtained the key at this time, how could they be satisfied with a limited term of office as the chairman of the committee? It was reasonable to have at least three out of five standing committee members. However, since they didn't have the key, they would have to wait until they found the key. Of course, everyone knew that in the process of looking for the key, Lingjian School certainly had a certain advantage in clues, but the advantage was not obvious. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better for them to conceal the information about the key?
After the important matter was settled, the people of the four sects went their separate ways and arranged their disciples to look for a needle in a haystack. The Lingjian School also cleaned up the mess, and the Elders led their disciples back to the mountain to recuperate.

In this experiential learning in the ancient sword tomb, Lingjian School was undoubtedly the biggest winner. In addition to the untapped Dixian inheritance, the several Successor Disciples also obtained great benefits.
Needless to say, Wang Lu and Zhu Shiyao, although their injuries were not light, after their injuries were healed, their cultivation base could advance by leaps and bounds.
Liu Li, on the other hand, obtained a suitable high-rank spiritual treasure flying sword. Her harvest was no less than that of Wang Lu and Zhu Shiyao. Although there were many flying swords in her hands, their level was actually not high, they were just magical treasures. Because spiritual treasure usually had its own spirituality. However, Liu Li's Brilliant Sword Heart had extremely harsh requirements for the characteristics of the flying sword, which very few spiritual treasures could meet. Although Lingjian School searched in every possible way, they never found a suitable one. Therefore, they simply replaced it with a lower level magical treasure.
However, this time, Liu Li was self-reliant. After Wang Lu went deep into the last level, she was bored, so she casually wandered around the ancient sword tomb. If Wang Lu was still here, he would certainly scold her for courting death. However, perhaps her luck was really deep. In a remote stone room, she actually found a broken sword that seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. When she picked up the sword, the sword actually bloomed with dazzling brilliance, revealing the nature of a high-rank spiritual treasure, which was highly compatible with Liu Li.
Later, after being identified by the Sect Elders, it was discovered that it was the famous sword of the Sword Demon, Skybreaker. It was originally an immortal treasure, however, in the process of resisting the four in nine divine tribulations, the sword spirit perished and the sword body was damaged. Thus, it was brought to the ancient sword tomb by its master to be slowly nurtured by the power of the Feng Shui line. After ten thousand years, the sword body has basically been repaired. Although the sword spirit could not be reborn, it didn't affect the quality of the flying sword. Moreover, it just met Liu Li's requirement of a blank flying sword.
Although the quality of this immortal sword has not been fully restored, as long as Liu Li diligently refined it, sooner or later, it would be able to regain its former glory. Its actual value was far higher than the one that Zhu Shiyao previously obtained. It was truly a priceless treasure. Regarding this, even Wang Lu was slightly envious. Although he certainly wouldn't covet Liu Li, he couldn't help but want to borrow it and play with it.
Liu Li, of course, agreed. "Okay, you can play with Ah Meow!"
"Wait a minute, what's Ah Meow?"
Liu Li said, "It's this flying sword. Master said that since the original sword spirit is no longer here, it's equivalent to a new flying sword. So, as its master, I have to give it a new name."
"... So it's called Ah Meow?" Wang Lu was speechless. He shook his head and took the Ah Meow sword from Liu Li.
The reason why he borrowed the sword from Liu Li was mainly to comprehend the essence of the Primal Chaos Heaven Splitting Sword from this sword of the Sword Demon. Now that the sword spirit was no longer here, perhaps the harvest would be very limited, but it was better than nothing...
However, as soon as his palm touched the hilt, he felt a burst of dizziness in his head, as if he was hit by a heavy hammer. He couldn't think at all.
Wang Lu hastily threw the sword back to Liu Li and asked, "What's the matter with this sword..."
Liu Li said, "Master said that once this sword is refined, it will be connected with my mind, and the sword and I become one. Although I don't quite understand what it means, it should be a good thing, right?"
No, your Master's meaning is actually very simple.
This sword, in addition to you, if other people hold it, their IQ will drop...
