Although the True Sword Sect had declined, it was once a glorious and powerful sect. There were strict branches within it.
Sect Master's Peak, Punishment Hall, Wind Heart Hall, Dao Teaching Peak, Sword Crafting Valley, Treasure Pill Pavilion, and so on. There were also some exclusive peaks for elite disciples, as well as official disciples. As for the in-name disciples, they were all arranged in a huge valley at the foot of the Ancient Beast Mountain.
The Third Elder Yun He was the Punishment Elder of Punishment Hall, while the Second Elder Yun Feng was the Elder Feng Xin of the Wind Heart Hall. As for the Great Elder Yun Yi, he was previously in charge of the Dao Teaching Peak.
The dead Fourth Elder was in charge of the Sword Crafting Valley. As for the Treasure Pill Pavilion, there was currently no Pavilion Master.
Great Elder Yun Yi's betrayal had led to the deaths of many disciples of the True Sword Sect, as well as the deaths of the Fourth Elder and the Vice Sect Master. He had committed a heinous crime, and according to the laws of the True Sword Sect, he should be sentenced to death.
Under the gazes of Chu Mu and the seven supreme elders, in front of Elder Yun Feng and all the True Sword Sect disciples, the Punishment Elder, who was also the second elder of the sect, Yun He, personally attacked. The sword aura sliced through the clouds.
The Sword Qi's Death by Thousand Cuts was done while the person was still conscious. That kind of pain was unimaginable. Yun Yi's screams were endless. The whole process lasted for a full hour before it ended. After it ended, Yun Yi died. There was a look of relief on his face.
Chu Mu was secretly speechless. The other disciples all had solemn expressions, and even fear. This made everyone even more aware that they must not violate the sect rules, or else their fates would be very miserable.
There were many things waiting to be done. The current True Sword Sect had experienced a rebellion and suffered heavy losses. Fortunately, the rebellion had ended here, and the True Sword Sect had also produced a true Sect Master, no longer a headless dragon.
At the beginning, although Chu Mu said he wouldn't spend much time on the management of the sect, there were many things waiting to be done. Since he was the sect master, he more or less had to put in some effort. It was natural for him to be in his position and manage the affairs of the sect.
However, management wasn't Chu Mu's forte. He had to ask the seven supreme elders for guidance. A sect master only appeared every few hundred years, and although this sect master's cultivation wasn't high, his talent and potential were shocking. The seven supreme elders didn't go into seclusion for the time being. Instead, they stayed behind to manage the sect's affairs and give advice.
After several discussions with the seven Supreme Elders, they finally made a temporary decision.
Yun He was still in charge of the Punishment Hall, Yun Feng was still in charge of the Wind Heart Hall, and as for the Dao Teaching Summit, it was temporarily under the control of the Seventh Great Elder, the Sword Crafting Valley was temporarily under the control of the Fifth Great Elder, and the Treasure Pill Pavilion was temporarily under the control of the Third Great Elder.
The other four Grand Elders had nothing to do for the time being and planned to go into seclusion again.
"I wonder if the Supreme Elders have heard of the eighteen divine pearls?" Chu Mu asked.
"Eighteen Divine Pearls?" The four Grand Elders pondered for a moment before shaking their heads.
Chu Mu couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed. The True Sword Sect's seven Grand Elders had the highest cultivation base at the sixth Heavenstage, while the lowest was at the second Heavenstage. Since they didn't know, Chu Mu didn't know where to start looking.
"Regarding this, you can ask Third Brother. He is the most knowledgeable among the seven of us." The First Supreme Elder said.
The four Grand Elders left to go into seclusion, while Chu Mu went to find the Third Supreme Elder to ask about the eighteen divine pearls.
"Eighteen divine pearls …" The Third Supreme Elder fell into deep thought, as if he was recalling something. He had lived for hundreds of years, and with his personality and hobbies, he had seen a lot of things, and had grasped a lot of knowledge.
After a long while, the Third Supreme Elder said, "I seem to have heard of the eighteen divine pearls. I forgot where I heard of it."
"Elder, do you still remember the content?" Chu Mu was slightly excited.
"The eighteen divine pearls are related to the secrets of this world." The Third Supreme Elder said, "However, it has been dozens of years, so I can't remember the specific content right now. Let me take some time to think about it before telling the Sect Master."
"Thank you, Elder." Chu Mu said.
… ….
At this point, the True Sword Sect could be considered to have stabilized. Although they had a sect master, it was extremely difficult for them to develop or even regain their glory. Without sufficient time and resources, it was impossible to do so.
Fortunately, the presence of the Sect Master was equivalent to having a spiritual symbol, which was more cohesive. The True Sword Sect was revitalized.
Within the True Sword Sect, there were all kinds of rumors about the new Sect Master. What they were most concerned about was the strength of the new Sect Master. After all, this was a world where the strong were respected. If one's strength was not enough, it would be difficult to convince people from the bottom of their hearts with the title of Sect Master.
That day, under Yun Yi's order, the few mid-level Nirvana disciples who attacked Chu Mu were all core disciples, and they were even ranked in the top ten. According to them, they were defeated by the Sect Master with a single sword strike. Other than being surprised, they were even more curious about the Sect Master's strength.
With the cultivation of the Fourth Sky of Nirvana Realm, he was able to defeat the siege of several mid-level Nirvana Realm martial artists with a single sword strike. This strength was very powerful.
However, after all, they had only heard about it and had not seen it with their own eyes. Many people still had doubts. Even those who had personally experienced it were not so sure. After all, they had only attacked once, and it was not their full strength.
Chu Mu did not know what the disciples were thinking. Even if he knew, he would not purposely take action to prove anything.
He ordered Elder Yun Feng's Wind Heart Hall to collect information related to the eighteen divine pearls.
For example, the Law Enforcement Disciples of the Punishment Hall were selected from the core disciples, elite disciples, and official disciples. They were fair, and those who were strong had a chance to be selected.
The disciples of the Wind Heart Hall were also selected from the three great disciples. However, the requirements were that they were nimble, intelligent, and fast.
The Dao Teaching Peak was the place where cultivation techniques and sword techniques were taught.
The existence of the Sword Crafting Valley was to forge swords and forge swords. On one hand, it was to supply the True Sword Sect, and on the other hand, it was to sell them to the outside world to obtain the daily expenses of the sect. After all, there were a lot of disciples, and they could not let these disciples grow their own vegetables and so on.
It was the same for the Treasure Pill Pavilion. In theory, a portion of the pills refined were for the sect's needs, while the other portion would be sold to the outside world. Of course, the swords and pills that the sect needed were not obtained for free, and they required certain conditions.
Relatively speaking, the Sword Crafting Valley was much more prosperous than the Treasure Pill Pavilion. The True Sword Sect was actually not good at alchemy, the quality of the pills was usually not high, and the level of the Alchemist was also relatively low. The supply of pills could not be satisfied by just the sect, let alone be sold to the outside world. On the other hand, the quality of the swords in the Sword Crafting Valley was not bad, and the production was not bad.
Chu Mu had a detailed understanding of the various aspects of the True Sword Sect, and could not help but shake his head.
The sale of a portion of the swords in the Sword Crafting Valley was the largest source of income for the True Sword Sect. Other than that, there was not much other income. With just this kind of income, it would be a little difficult to maintain the expenses of a sect, let alone develop it.
Rubbing his temples, Chu Mu could not help but feel a headache coming on. His perception was extremely strong, and it was not difficult for him to comprehend cultivation techniques, sword techniques, and so on. However, it was a headache for him to manage the sect and think about how to develop it.
No matter what, the most important thing now was to first solve the source of income. Without enough income, it would be difficult to develop.
"Looks like I'll start with the swords and pills first." Chu Mu thought.
If the swords and pills were done well, they would be able to make a huge profit.
Right now, the Sword Crafting Valley was temporarily under the charge of the Fifth Supreme Elder. In terms of sword forging, he had pretty good attainments, and in fact, a long time ago, he had also held the position of Sword Crafting Valley's Sword Crafting Elder.
As for the Third Supreme Elder who was temporarily in charge of the Treasure Pill Pavilion, although he had never been an elder of the Treasure Pill Pavilion, he was knowledgeable and involved in all aspects. In terms of pills, he had some attainments, and was currently qualified to be the Treasure Pill Pavilion's Treasure Pill Elder.
Chu Mu was also at ease as he handed over the Sword Crafting Valley and the Treasure Pill Pavilion to the two very high Elders. He only gave them some instructions and allowed them to develop freely, so as to earn more benefits for the sect.
However, it was impossible for the very high Elder to hold the position for a long time. It was only temporary, and he still needed to nurture or find a suitable candidate. This was another problem. In addition, the External Affairs Hall, which was in charge of external affairs, had not been completed. They lacked personnel and elders. The current True Sword Sect did not need the External Affairs Hall for the time being, but if they wanted to develop, the External Affairs Hall was indispensable.
Only after coming into contact with it did Chu Mu understand that there were too many things that needed to be considered. There were too many twists and turns. It was not easy to be a sect master, it was even harder to be a qualified sect master, and it was even harder to be an outstanding sect master.
Chu Mu returned to his room after putting down this troublesome matter for the time being.
As the Sect Master of the True Sword Sect, he naturally had his own residence. It was located at the top of the Sect Master's Peak in the Ancient Beast Mountain.
Currently, there was no one in charge of Chu Mu's daily life.
Sitting on a chair in the bedroom, Chu Mu took out the Sword Sect Spirit Seal. As the symbol of his identity as the Sect Master of the True Sword Sect, it was defined as something that contained a great secret.
Chu Mu was wondering if he could unravel the secret within.
It was said that the secret contained within the Sword Sect Spirit Seal had been unraveled by many generations of Sect Masters, but no one had been able to unravel it. He wondered if Chu Mu could be the first.
The moment the Sword Sect Spirit Seal appeared, it immediately emitted a milky white light. Chu Mu placed the Sword Sect Spirit Seal on his palm and stared at it without blinking, as if he wanted to see through the Sword Sect Spirit Seal.
From the moment he obtained the Sword Sect Spirit Seal until now, he had finally calmed down and carefully examined it.
His sharp gaze pierced through the milky white light and saw the spirit seal itself. However, he was unable to see through it. It was a complete entity without any gaps.
He released the power of his Divine Sense, which enveloped the Sword Sect Spirit Seal through the milky white light. He carefully examined it, but he found nothing.
However, Chu Mu did not give up. He was determined to unravel the secret contained within the Sword Sect Spirit Seal. Perhaps this secret was related to the World Spirit.
