The demon beast glanced at Zhao Hai, then said in a deep voice, "I can't make the decision now. I have to go back and discuss it before making a decision." After saying that, it directly fell into the sea and disappeared.
Zhao Hai saw the other party's reaction and had nothing to say. To be honest, these demon beasts thought too simply. Not to mention how the Holy Gate would deal with them in the future, Zhao Hai would definitely not be polite to them in the future.
Although the Holy Gate was a sect of the Demon Race, they would never be polite to other races of the Demon Race. Among the Demon Race, there were countless demon beasts that had not developed spiritual wisdom and were used as tools by other races. Perhaps in the eyes of those demon cultivators, those demon beasts could not be considered as part of the Demon Race at all. They were a different race from them.
In fact, the demonic beasts in the sea were the same as the demonic beasts that were used as tools by the Holy Gate. In the eyes of the Holy Gate, they might be another race. If the Holy Gate really controlled the Sword Spirit World, these demonic beasts would definitely not have a good life.
But if these demon beasts joined the Exploration Sea Sect, then it would be simple. The Exploration Sea Sect would definitely treat them as ordinary disciples, which would be better for them.
It was just that these beasts didn't know about this, so they had this kind of reaction. However, this wasn't important. Whether they joined or not, it wouldn't have a big impact on the Sea Exploring Sect. To be honest, Zhao Hai really didn't care about them.
When Zhao Hai returned to the Sky City, he immediately turned his attention to the integration of the righteous path alliance. The Myriad Buddha Temple and the Tianyi Sect naturally had to be retained. They would also become the two major halls of the Exploration Sea Sect. The hall masters would still be the Greater One Spiritual Master and Grandmaster Hui De, but both of them said that they would only be the hall masters for a year to let the two sects pass. When the two sects were on the right track, they would retire and become idle elders of the Exploration Sea Sect, while the position of hall master would be given to others.
After Zhao Hai tried to persuade the two of them, he realized that they had already made up their minds. He had no other choice. In the end, he decided that if the two of them really wanted to retire, then the positions of the two Hall Leaders would be handed over to Master Hui Neng and Daoist Tian Xuan.
This was in fact the best choice. Grandmaster Hui De and the Greater One Spiritual Master did not object. They knew that Zhao Hai respected them, which was why he made such a decision. Otherwise, even if Zhao Hai sent someone else to be the master, they could not say anything. After all, whether it was the Thousand Buddha Temple or the Tianyi Dao Sect, all the disciples had been separated.
Whether it was Myriad Buddha Temple or Tianyi Dao Sect, they couldn't act like the other sects. After surrendering to Exploring Sea Sect, half of the disciples of other sects would be transferred away. However, they couldn't do the same. Myriad Buddha Temple and Tianyi Dao Sect had too many disciples. If only half of their disciples were transferred away, the remaining power would still be very strong. Therefore, four-fifths of their disciples were transferred away.
The two sects did not have any objections. After all, they had now joined Exploring Sea Sect. It was useless to have any objections. They would definitely listen to Exploring Sea Sect.
However, they were shocked when they learned about the management method of the Scouring Sea Sect. They had never thought that the Scouring Sea Sect would manage its disciples in such a way. Everyone's cultivation progress would be recorded in detail, and they would be given the most suitable medicinal pills and materials. They would also be given the most suitable cultivation methods. All of this made them feel incomparably shocked.
What surprised them the most was that all the disciples could ask the elders for advice, but the elders had to answer. If they did not answer, they would be punished. But if they returned, they would receive contribution points. There was also the rule that the elders had to have a fixed teaching time for high-level disciples and so on. They had never seen such a rule before. They were really astonished.
Now they knew why the strength of the disciples of Exploring Sea Sect could improve so quickly, and why Exploring Sea Sect could rise in just a few years. This was really unimaginable.
Subsequently, Exploring Sea Sect began to set up branches in each city to manage each city. They also set up academies in each city, and conducted a new inspection of the people in each city.
All of this was completely different from the management method of their sect, but it was more rigorous. This made Grandmaster Hui De and Greater One Spiritual Master feel that they were somewhat unable to keep up with the times.
And while doing this, Zhao Hai did not forget Ghost Shadow. He asked Ghost Shadow to build a new branch. Ghost Shadow quickly set up an address and then built a branch. Some disciples of the Demon Domain were transferred over, and more disciples with ghost cultivation talent were transferred over.
Ghost cultivators also needed talent. If you didn't have the talent of a ghost cultivator, it would be very difficult for you to cultivate. Many people thought that ghost cultivators were crooked. In fact, this wasn't right. Ghost cultivators were controlling ghosts. If you wanted to control ghosts, you had to be able to control ghosts. Those cultivators who cultivated themselves into ghosts couldn't be considered qualified ghost cultivators.
In the Sea Exploring Sect, there were many disciples with ghost cultivation talent. However, due to the lack of a very suitable cultivation method, these talented ghost cultivation disciples could only cultivate some low-level cultivation methods. Naturally, they wouldn't be very effective.
Now that the Evil Ghost Sect had come, and Zhao Hai also asked Ghost Shadow to set up a new branch. After transferring those disciples and adding a new set of rules, the new branch was completed.
The cultivation speed of Ghost Cultivators was faster than that of ordinary Cultivators. This had something to do with the cultivation method of Ghost Cultivators. Ghost Cultivators used Yin Qi to raise ghosts and absorb some of the Yin Qi from the ghosts to cultivate. Because of this, if they directly absorbed the naturally formed Yin Qi, then they would slowly turn into something neither human nor ghost. Therefore, the ghosts raised by Ghost Cultivators were like apprehension devices. Ghost Cultivators were able to absorb the Yin Qi and use it to cultivate.
This method would make the cultivation speed of ghost cultivators faster, but at the same time, it also had a lot of hidden dangers. There were mainly two hidden dangers. One was that they absorbed the Yin Qi from ghosts, not through their own hard work. In the early stage, although the cultivation speed was fast, in the later stage, there would be a situation where the spiritual Qi was mixed. If they couldn't completely refine the spiritual Qi, then their achievements wouldn't be too high, and they might even go crazy.
The second reason was that when ghost cultivators cultivated, they needed to use Yin Qi. Yin Qi would not only affect a person's body, but even a person's personality would be affected to a certain extent. Therefore, ghost cultivators always gave people a gloomy feeling, and it might even cause a person's personality to be distorted.
It was precisely because of these reasons that people always thought ghost cultivators were evil. In fact, ghost cultivators were just people who were suitable to cultivate yin attribute cultivation methods.
Humans had both yin and yang attributes. Some people had stronger yin attributes, and such people were especially suitable to cultivate ghost cultivation methods. In fact, this had nothing to do with whether they were good or bad people.
However, ghost cultivators also had a very fast cultivation method, and that was to catch more ghosts. Then, they would absorb enough yin qi, and their cultivation speed would naturally be faster. But this way, there was a problem. If a person died naturally, it would be very difficult for a ghost to be born, so catching ghosts was not an easy task.
In this way, some ghost cultivators would kill people in order to cultivate faster. The people who were killed were considered to have died a violent death, so it was easier for ghosts to be born. The more vicious the torture before death, the higher the probability of ghosts being born. It was precisely because of this that some ghost cultivators began to kill people everywhere. They would even torture people as much as they wanted before killing them. This way, they would be able to obtain ghosts. In this way, they would naturally ruin the reputation of ghost cultivators.
For sects like the Evil Ghost Sect, they didn't recommend using this method to cultivate. This was because if you personally killed people and turned them into ghosts, it would slowly give birth to demonic thoughts in your heart. In the end, the chances of cultivation deviation would be higher.
Moreover, ghost cultivators did not necessarily have to turn into ghosts after the death of humans. Some animals could also turn into ghosts after death. This ghost was actually a kind of spiritual force. It belonged to the soul fragments. After being affected by some things, it remained in the world. After being nurtured by the Yin Qi, it slowly turned into a ghost. No matter if it was a human or a demonic beast, they all had a soul. When their soul fragments remained in the world, they would all turn into ghosts.
And now, there was no shortage of ghosts in the Sword Spirit World. Many battles had caused countless casualties, which naturally gave birth to ghosts. Zhao Hai was now supporting the Evil Ghost Sect to capture ghosts. They would capture all the ghosts in the Sword Spirit World. This way, they would be able to use ghosts to cultivate. And in the Sword Spirit World, all the ghosts would disappear. Naturally, the civilians of the Sword Spirit World wouldn't be affected. This was killing two birds with one stone.
Besides the Sword Spirit Continent, they could also go to the South Sea to catch ghosts. The South Sea was where the Sea Exploration Sect had been fighting with demon beasts all year round, creating countless yin places. They could go there and catch ghosts.
It must be said that it wasn't easy for ghosts to appear in the sea. Although the sea was of the water attribute, the water attribute was of the yin attribute. However, it was completely different. When the sea was illuminated by sunlight, there would be changes in tides. These were all of the Yang attribute, very strong Yang attribute. In ordinary places, even if ghosts were to appear, they would be directly dispersed by these energies. Only in some special geographical locations would ghosts appear.
However, unless the sea couldn't produce ghosts, as long as there were ghosts in the sea, they would be incomparably powerful ghosts. This was because the environment of the sea had tempered them. Ghosts that appeared in the sea generally weren't afraid of sunlight or Yang qi.
In the beginning, Zhao Hai didn't care about these things. He started out as a ghost. Although he only used skeletons, they were still ghosts. Because of this, he wasn't averse to ghosts at all. It wasn't a big deal if there were ghosts. Because of this, he didn't care about the appearance of ghosts in the Sea Exploration Sect.
However, later on, reports came one after another about ghosts injuring people in some places. Moreover, the victims were all civilians. Some ghosts were so powerful that they could even injure the disciples of the Sea Exploration Sect. Some of them could even fight against inner disciples. This attracted Zhao Hai's attention.
Zhao Hai had the people from the Sea Exploring Sect deal with the Ghosts, mainly the Profound Sect Cultivators and the Buddhist Cultivators. However, Zhao Hai felt that it would be a waste to just eliminate all of the Ghosts. Because of this, he decided to seal the places where the Ghosts were staying. This way, the Ghosts wouldn't be able to come out, they wouldn't be able to escape, and they wouldn't be able to hurt anyone. It was as if they were locked in a prison.
Now that the Sea Exploring Sect had swallowed the Evil Ghost Sect, the sect's disciples who were suitable for Ghost Cultivation had found a way out. Therefore, these Ghosts could be used. They could go around and capture these Ghosts and use them for cultivation.
Ghost Shadow didn't know that ghost cultivation could be done in this way. This was simply raising ghosts. When the time was right, the ghosts would be captured and used. It was truly unexpected.
Moreover, nobody in the Sea Exploration Sect looked down on them. He saw some disciples who cultivated Buddhist Techniques using the Poison Dragon Sect's Poison Arts to fight against their enemies. He also saw a disciple who cultivated the Poison Dragon Sect's Poison Arts using the Iron Buddha Lotus Body to resist an enemy's attack. In the Sea Exploration Sect, there was no distinction between good and evil. What was truly good and evil were the people.
In the Sea Exploration Sect, you only need to abide by the sect's rules. Nobody would care about your Cultivation Method. Even if the sect found out that your Cultivation Method wasn't suitable for you, they wouldn't force you to change it. However, if your Cultivation Method wasn't suitable for you, your Cultivation Speed would certainly be affected. As a result, you would slowly fall behind others. When that happens, you wouldn't need the sect to care about you.
After being the Hall Master for a while, Ghost Shadow felt that he was very relaxed. No one would look at them with strange gazes, and the ordinary people weren't afraid of them. Instead, they respected them because they would go everywhere to catch ghosts. As long as there were ghosts, they would appear there. Not only were the ordinary people not afraid of them, they even welcomed them. To the ordinary people, ghosts were very dangerous.
Although the strength of the commoners under the rule of the Sea Exploration Sect was higher than the commoners under the rule of other sects, these people didn't have a strong cultivation talent. Therefore, their strength wasn't very high. When these people encountered ghosts, they would be at a disadvantage. This was because the ghosts that dared to attack the South weren't weak. If ordinary people were to encounter them, then they would be doomed. Additionally, the war that happened in the past few years had produced a lot of ghosts. This had a great impact on the lives of the commoners. Now that Ghost Shadow and the others were going to catch ghosts, the commoners felt as if they had met their loved ones.
This kind of treatment was something that Ghost Shadow and the others had never enjoyed before. When they were in the Evil Ghost Sect, although they controlled a lot of cities and didn't kill the innocent, the commoners only feared them and didn't respect them. However, when it comes to respect and gratitude, there was absolutely no such thing. There were even some families that sent their children who had cultivation talent to the Righteous Dao Alliance's territory to join some small sects. They wouldn't let them join the Evil Ghost Sect. From this point, one could see the attitude of the commoners towards them.
Ghost Shadow had never encountered such a situation before. This feeling of being respected and loved made him fascinated.
