Zhao Hai, Wu Qingsong, and the others arrived at the main hall of the Black Tortoise Sword Sect. At this time, all the influential figures of the Black Tortoise Sword Sect had gathered in the main hall. They also knew why they had come this time. They were very clear that they were already half a step into the Scouring Sea Sect. It was only right for them to come out and meet Zhao Hai. After all, Zhao Hai would be their Sect Master in the future.
Wu Qingsong and the others had already discussed this before. It was also because all the elders in the sect had decided to join the Scouring Sea Sect. Therefore, Wu Qingsong had directly said that he wanted to join the Scouring Sea Sect. If he hadn't obtained the consent of the sect, even if he was the Sect Master, he wouldn't have dared to casually make such a decision that would affect the fate of the entire sect.
However, the people of the Black Tortoise Sword Sect didn't let all the elders vote like the Sword Dance Sect did. Instead, they gathered together to discuss this matter. In the end, they all agreed to join the Scouring Sea Sect.
As Zhao Hai walked into the main hall of the Black Tortoise Sword Sect, Wu Qingsong introduced the people of the Black Tortoise Sword Sect to Zhao Hai. Everyone saluted Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai also nodded in return. Then, the group entered the main hall of the Black Tortoise Sword Sect.
When they arrived at the main hall, Wu Qingsong directly invited Zhao Hai to sit on the main seat. Zhao Hai didn't stand on ceremony and sat on the main seat. Then, he looked at the people below and said, "Today, the Black Tortoise Sword Sect will officially join our Exploring Sea Sect. I'm very happy because our Exploring Sea Sect has grown stronger. Fellow Daoists of the Black Tortoise Sword Sect, you don't have to worry about anything. Our Exploring Sea Sect has always been fair and just. If you make a contribution to the sect, the sect will definitely reward you accordingly. Moreover, our Exploring Sea Sect is a large sect formed by many sects. You don't have to worry about bullying newcomers. The treatment of our Exploring Sea Sect is known throughout the Sword Spirit World. However, I have to say that the operation of our Exploring Sea Sect is different from that of your Black Tortoise Sword Sect. I hope that everyone can adapt when the time comes. There is one more thing that I want to emphasize, and that is the issue of loyalty. I'm not suspecting that you will betray the Exploring Sea Sect, but there have been large-scale betrayals in the Exploring Sea Sect in the past. All of you know this, so I won't say more. What I want to tell you today is that our Exploring Sea Sect absolutely forbids betrayal. If you betray the sect, the sect will only have one way to deal with it, and that is to kill you! If you betray us, you won't be the only unlucky one. Your family and friends will all be implicated. Therefore, I hope that you will remember this point. Alright, let's not waste time. Since you've joined our Exploring Sea Sect, I won't say anything else. On behalf of the Exploring Sea Sect, I welcome you. From today onwards, we're all one big family! "
Wu Qingsong and the others bowed to Zhao Hai, "Greetings, Sect Master!"
Zhao Hai nodded and waved his hand, "Alright, there's no need to be so polite. Our Exploring Sea Sect pays particular attention to the truth and efficiency. Therefore, I'll tell everyone about the following arrangements of the Black Tortoise Sword Sect. In the Exploring Sea Sect, I've always advocated speaking openly. This is better than using underhanded methods. Therefore, I'll be frank with you. First, the Black Tortoise Sword Sect will become the Exploring Sea Sect's Black Tortoise Branch Hall. The Hall Master will no longer be Wu Qingsong."
Wu Qingsong took a step forward and gave Zhao Hai a salute, "Yes, I'll follow the Sect Master's orders!"
Zhao Hai nodded and continued, "Second, half of the Black Tortoise Sword Sect's disciples and elders will be transferred out. Disciples from other branches will be transferred in to fill the ranks. At the same time, some Exploring Sea Sect's elders will be transferred to the Black Tortoise Branch Hall to help the Black Tortoise Branch Hall's people adapt to the Exploring Sea Sect's management style as soon as possible."
Everyone responded in unison. All of this was within their expectations. Therefore, they didn't have much of a reaction and felt that it was only natural.
Zhao Hai looked at Wu Qingsong and continued, "Third, the sect will be modifying the Black Tortoise Branch Hall's arrays. I hope that no one will have any objections."
Everyone responded in unison. Naturally, they wouldn't have any objections. The Sea Exploring Sect's formations were famous in the Sword Spirit Realm. Now that Zhao Hai wanted to help them improve their formations, how could they not agree?
Zhao Hai continued, "After the Black Tortoise Branch Hall merged with the Exploring Sea Sect, everything will be governed by the rules of the Exploring Sea Sect. This time, it will be the same when dealing with the demonic beasts. I hope that all of you will remember this."
Zhao Hai nodded and then said, "Alright, I don't have too many requests for you right now. Today is a happy day. Let's have a drink together. When the Sword Dance Sect joined the Sea Sect, I didn't have the time to celebrate. Hall Master Li was still complaining about it. Today, we'll take this opportunity to celebrate. I also brought some things with me, all of them are specialties of the Sea Exploring Sect. Iron Snake, you go and prepare some for the people of the Black Tortoise Sword Sect. We'll have a good celebration." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright.
Iron Snake replied and walked towards Wu Qingsong. Of course, Wu Qingsong knew what to do. He immediately arranged for an elder to lead Iron Snake to the dining hall of the Black Tortoise Sword Sect and let the people in the dining hall prepare the dishes and wine.
This time, Zhao Hai brought a lot of good things to celebrate with them. After all, the Black Tortoise Sword Sect was new to the Exploring Sea Sect. Moreover, the current situation was different. He had to make a gesture to let the other sword cultivator sects know that the Exploring Sea Sect welcomed them.
After celebrating in the Black Tortoise Sword Sect, Zhao Hai returned to the Exploring Sea Sect. Then, he carried out the following tasks step by step. He announced that the Black Tortoise Sword Sect had joined the Exploring Sea Sect, transferred people from the Black Tortoise Sword Sect, transferred people from the Black Tortoise Sword Sect to the Exploring Sea Sect as soon as possible, established files for the people of the Black Tortoise Sword Sect, remodeled the formation of the Black Tortoise Sword Sect, and fully took over the battle between the Black Tortoise Sword Sect and the demonic beasts.
The news of the Black Tortoise Sword Sect joining the Exploring Sea Sect spread throughout the Sword Spirit World in the shortest amount of time. However, the reaction of the Sword Spirit World was very calm. The people of the Sword Spirit World had already seen that the Exploring Sea Sect would definitely swallow up the other sword cultivator sects. Therefore, their current performance was very normal.
It was normal that it didn't cause any commotion in the Sword Spirit World. Zhao Hai didn't care about it at all. Next, he had Li Wanshan make contact with the other sword cultivator sects. As for the High Wind Sword Sect, Zhao Hai had already cut off their support. Since they didn't give him any face, there was no need for him to give them any face. Zhao Hai wasn't a polite person.
Li Wanshan was now even more motivated. Pulling the Black Tortoise Sword Sect into the Exploring Sea Sect had a great impact on Li Wanshan. Not only had he obtained a higher status in the Exploring Sea Sect, but he had also obtained the opportunity to be personally guided by Zhao Hai. It had to be known that such opportunities were rare.
Moreover, Li Wanshan now knew that although the status of a branch hall master wasn't low in the Exploring Sea Sect, there were also differences in status among the hall masters. The Exploring Sea Sect had a very strict hierarchy system. This system was specially prepared for the management of the sect and had nothing to do with one's cultivation base.
In this system, if one had a high status, one could manage those with lower status to a certain extent. For example, Li Wanshan's status in the Exploring Sea Sect was higher than Wu Qingsong's. If something really happened, such as a war, Li Wanshan's group wouldn't be able to contact the main hall of the Exploring Sea Sect or they would have to deal with the enemy first. At that time, a commander would be needed. This commander would be able to manage the branches that were relatively close to him. In Li Wanshan's case, he would be appointed as such a commander under normal circumstances. At that time, he would be able to command Wu Qingsong and the others.
This kind of system wasn't bad. It was equivalent to dividing the Sea Exploring Sect into districts. Each district contained several halls. Among these halls, the hall master of one of the halls had the highest status. The hall masters of the other halls had to listen to him to a certain extent.
But this kind of power was useless in normal times. You can't always command others just because you have a higher position in the sect. That wouldn't work. In the absence of war, your position would be the same as the other party. You're both Hall Masters. Only in special circumstances would this kind of position play a corresponding role.
But even so, Li Wanshan was very happy. He heard that if he made some contributions, then he might be transferred to the Main Hall in the future and become a management elder there. Although it seemed like he wouldn't have as much freedom as in the Branch Hall, it was equivalent to going to the Sect Lord's side. Naturally, his relationship with the Sect Lord would be closer. For Li Wanshan, this was definitely a good thing.
Most importantly, this contribution allowed him to get the opportunity to receive personal guidance from Zhao Hai. This was also very important for him. At his level, it was very difficult for his cultivation to advance. Now that he had such a rare opportunity, of course, he would cherish it very much.
Zhao Hai didn't give him much guidance, only three days. However, these three days benefited Li Wanshan a lot. Not only did Zhao Hai point out some of the problems in his cultivation, but he also told him how to cultivate and what kind of cultivation methods to help him improve his cultivation.
It was rare for a cultivator to change their main cultivation method. This was because changing a cultivation method wasn't necessarily a good thing for a cultivator. If they changed their cultivation method, they might even go berserk.
However, you can practice other auxiliary cultivation methods in addition to your main cultivation method. This was also the main cultivation method in the Sword Spirit World. Everyone cultivated in this way.
The reason for this was very simple. There were a lot of meridians in the human body. There were the Twelve Standard Meridians, the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, and some other meridians. At present, there was no cultivation method that could cultivate all of the meridians in the human body. However, if you couldn't cultivate all of the meridians in your body, then it would have a big impact on your cultivation. Just like a wooden barrel, this barrel was made up of many wooden planks. These planks were equivalent to the meridians in your body. The meridians that have been cultivated were naturally wider and tougher, just like a long wooden plank. The meridians that haven't been cultivated were relatively smaller and less tough, just like a short wooden plank. As for how strong you were, it was equivalent to how much water your wooden bucket could hold. Everyone knew that the amount of water a wooden bucket could hold was not determined by the longest wooden board, but by the shortest wooden board.
As long as you cultivate all the meridians in your body, then you will be a wooden bucket without any shortcomings. You will be able to hold more water, and your strength will naturally be stronger. Your potential for development will also be greater, and you will naturally be able to go further.
In this way, a problem arose. A cultivator's main cultivation method couldn't cultivate all of the meridians in their body. Naturally, there would be shortcomings in their body that would restrict their development. What should they do then? It was very simple. If you were to practice one or several auxiliary cultivation methods, it would be even better if these auxiliary cultivation methods were compatible with your main cultivation method.
In the Sword Spirit World, after many years of development, some golden cultivation method combinations had appeared. For example, the main cultivation method that you cultivated would be compatible with the auxiliary cultivation method. It would be of the greatest help to you. Such a cultivation method combination was a golden cultivation method combination. Therefore, it was normal for a cultivator to cultivate several cultivation methods. However, after choosing the main cultivation method, one wouldn't change it because the price of changing the main cultivation method was very high.
Now in the Sword Spirit World, each sect would have some golden cultivation method combinations. Such golden cultivation method combinations were generally very suitable for the disciples of the sect. They also had a very important relationship with the signature cultivation method of the sect master.
For a Sect Master like Li Wanshan, it was natural for him to practice the Golden Cultivation Methods of the Sword Dance Sect. However, in Zhao Hai's opinion, the Golden Cultivation Methods of the Sword Spirit Realm weren't necessarily Golden Cultivation Methods. They were just slightly stronger than ordinary Cultivation Methods, but they weren't necessarily that strong.
Just like Li Wanshan, if he cultivated the cultivation method of the Swordsmanship Sect and cultivated it together with the main cultivation method of another sect, the effect would be better. It would even make his strength stronger and increase his combat strength by at least 50%. Therefore, Zhao Hai suggested Li Wanshan to cultivate that cultivation method.
In fact, such a situation could only happen in the Sea Exploration Sect. First, it was because the Sea Exploration Sect had obtained enough cultivation methods. Now, the Sea Exploration Sect had hundreds of cultivation methods that could be used as their main cultivation method. This was something that other sects couldn't do. Second, with Zhao Hai's superb calculation ability, he could find the most suitable cultivation method for them. This was something that other sects couldn't do.
