"Great Elder's words are true."
Xu Yuanming also nodded and agreed. "Our sect doesn't need to fight with other sects now."
He now knew how big of a loophole his previous proposal was.
He only thought about the influence of Yuan Pavilion and the problem of other sects imitating it, but he never thought about how much importance the other sects attached to the inheritance of cultivation techniques.
It could be said that most of the problems that Yuan Sect was facing now were caused by his previous proposal.
But it was not too late to mend the pen after the sheep had been lost.
So when Zheng Fang spoke, Xu Yuanming immediately agreed.
Yuan Sect was a top sect.
But the top sects in the Great Zhao Dynasty were not as simple as Yuan Sect.
In the cultivation world.
There were many forces that were on par with Yuan Sect.
It was worth rejoicing.
Now in Beiyun Mansion, there were no other top sects except Yuan Sect, which also established Yuan Sect's power.
Therefore.
Even if the opening of Yuan Pavilion affected the interests of other sects, no sect in Beiyun Mansion dared to resist Yuan Pavilion on the surface for the time being.
"Even if we retreat, we can't just retreat as we wish." Qin Shujian's face was cold and stern as he said indifferently, "Our sect's current status and reputation were built by killing with a blade and a spear, not by backing down."
"Everything in the world is like rowing a boat against the current. If we don't advance, we will retreat."
"Since these sects dare to provoke us, I'll let them see the consequences of going against Yuan Sect!"
Retreat!
To be honest, Qin Shujian had never thought about this.
Although there was nothing wrong with what Zheng Fang and the others said, in his opinion, Yuan Sect had created an unstoppable momentum.
The reason why Yuan Sect could dominate Beiyun Mansion.
Being a top sect was only one of the reasons.
The most important reason was that these sects knew that once they provoked Yuan Sect, they would only end up with their sect destroyed and their people killed.
Any force that dared to go against Yuan Sect.
They had to seriously consider whether they could bear the risk or not.
Once they angered the reason.
Would it be worth it to lose a thousand years of foundation in one day?
Therefore.
This was one of the reasons why Beiyun Mansion still didn't do anything about Yuan Pavilion.
However, if Yuanzong retreated …
If that was the case, then the momentum that they had been building up before, even if it didn't completely collapse, it would still be very difficult for them to reach the point where they could directly suppress the cultivation world of an entire prefecture.
Of course.
Zheng Fang and the others weren't wrong. If Sky Origin Sect took a step back, they would be able to retain enough strength to operate in Beiyun Prefecture. Even if the sects in Beiyun Prefecture were dissatisfied and resisted, they would still have enough strength to suppress them.
In comparison.
The results of both sides were similar.
However — —
Qin Shujian, on the other hand, had no intention of retreating so easily.
When had he, Sovereign Qin, ever retreated without a fight?
Hearing the other party's words.
The expressions of the other elders became even more solemn.
They had a hunch.
If they were to really fight, Yuan Zong's losses would not be small.
However, even though they were sect elders, they had no right to influence Qin Shujian's decision.
It was different from other sects.
Yuan Sect was created by him. As long as he was still in power, the power that he possessed was not something that other sects could compare with.
Qin Shujian said, "How many sects are there that oppose the opening of Yuan Pavilion and have taken action to stop it?"
"Fifty-three sects!"
"How's their strength?"
"One of the top sects, thirteen of the major sects, thirty-one of the ordinary major sects, and eight of the major sects of the Spirit Domain," Zhang Tieniu replied without hesitation.
After the other party spoke.
Before Qin Shujian could speak, the expressions of Fu Gang and the others darkened again.
Fifty-three sects!
Under such circumstances, the first sect to jump out would definitely not be weak.
Even though they had guessed it, they were still shocked when they heard Zhang Tieniu's words.
One of the top sects!
Thirteen of the major sects of the major regions!
Not to mention other things, just the strength of these fourteen sects was already shocking enough.
Under the circumstances where they were not considered the top sects.
With the current strength of Sky Origin Sect, it was still a question whether they could compete with a top sect.
In fact, even if they didn't say it.
Fu Gang and the others already had an answer in their hearts.
With Sky Origin Sect's current foundation, it was still far from being able to compete with a top sect.
If they were given a few decades, this distance might be reduced to a negligible level.
"Fifty-three sects, very good!"
Qin Shujian laughed in anger. Fifty-three sects was just the beginning.
If Sky Origin Sect did not respond, there would be another five hundred and thirty, or even five thousand and three hundred sects that would jump out.
Within the Great Zhao Thirteen Prefectures.
It was not as simple as five thousand and three hundred sects.
Now that things had just begun, many sects were in a wait-and-see attitude because of Sky Origin Sect's reputation.
If Sky Origin Sect did not respond, there would be plenty of people who would hit them when they were down.
As for those rogue cultivators who had their interests at stake, they might not necessarily take action.
Rogue cultivators were rogue cultivators.
At the end of the day, it was because they lacked a leader and could not form an effective fighting force.
If Sky Origin Sect took on this role.
Then things would be much easier.
Thinking of this.
Qin Shujian immediately said, "Since the Yuan Pavilion has already been opened, there is no need for it to exist if no mission is issued. Law Enforcing Elder, pass down the message. I want the mission of posting a reward for the fifty-three sects to be posted in all the Yuan Pavilions before tomorrow."
Zhang Tieniu took a deep breath and immediately cupped his hands in acknowledgement. "Yes!"
He knew.
If the Yuan Pavilion posted a reward for the fifty-three sects, it would be considered as Sky Origin Sect's official counterattack.
What happened next.
If it was not handled well, a war could break out at any time.
After passing down the order.
Qin Shujian sent out a message again, summoning Zhao Shanlin and the other elders who had gone out to kill demons.
After all, the most powerful Dao weapon of the sect.
It was all in the hands of these few people.
If a war was to break out, the combat power of the Dao weapon could not be ignored.
On the other side.
After the news of the Yuan Pavilion being opened spread, it had already attracted the attention of many rogue cultivators.
After all.
This involved not just one or two sects. For rogue cultivators who wanted to obtain some profound cultivation techniques and martial arts, the opening of the Yuan Pavilion was of great significance.
Although many sects in other prefectures had taken action, either forcing the Yuan Pavilion to close or directly destroying it.
But no matter what.
The reputation of the Yuan Pavilion had been completely spread.
Compared to the huge number of Yuan Pavilions opened by Sky Origin Sect, the Yuan Pavilions that had been destroyed were only a few.
Until now.
There were already many people gathered in the Yuan Pavilion, waiting for something.
In the middle of the lobby, there was a blank mission board that was about ten feet tall.
The Yuan Pavilion had just been established.
Until now, no one had issued a mission.
Everyone was waiting.
Waiting for the first mission to appear.
Now that the Yuan Pavilion was facing a situation, many people already knew about it. No one was sure whether Sky Origin Sect's move would succeed or not.
If they were to exchange for contribution points and issue a mission at this time.
If one was not good.
It might be a situation where they would lose everything.
It was also at this time.
There was finally a change on the mission board.
"Look, a mission has appeared!"
"Damn it, a mission has really appeared!"
Some people were shocked, some were happy. Of course, 95% of the people who said "damn it" were players.
Not every player would be able to join a sect.
Not every player who entered a sect could have a good life.
Because there were big and small sects.
There were only so many big sects, and the number of disciples they could accommodate was also limited. Compared to the huge number of players, many ordinary players would casually enter a sect and then learn the cultivation techniques and martial arts inside.
But this way.
The things these players learned were destined not to be good, and their achievements were also limited.
For them.
If they wanted to obtain higher-level cultivation techniques and martial arts, they could only rely on themselves to fight for them.
But killing monsters to level up, earning money to exchange for cultivation techniques and martial arts.
To be honest.
This would take too long.
The strength of the players in the small sects was not very good to begin with. The monsters that they could hunt were also of ordinary strength, and they did not have many valuable items on them.
Moreover, higher-level cultivation techniques and martial arts could not be bought with money.
Besides having money.
One also had to have a sufficient status.
The cultivation world had a strong control over higher-level cultivation techniques and martial arts, and did not give rogue cultivators a chance to come in contact with them.
So —
The players who entered the small sects were basically trapped in an endless cycle.
Apart from the players, the local rogue cultivators and the disciples and elders of the small sects were actually in a similar situation.
Poor background.
Poor start.
Then, step by step.
In the end, they might not be able to break through to the True Martial Realm or the Spirit Martial Realm after one or two hundred years. In the end, they would have to exhaust their lifespan and die.
It was not until the appearance of the Yuan Pavilion that these people saw hope.
So, when a mission appeared, these people would be so excited.
But —
After a short period of excitement, some people saw the mission on the mission panel, and their expressions changed several times.
Level 2 mission: Kill a Boundless Sect disciple (Basic Realm contribution points, True Martial Realm contribution points, Inner Energy Realm contribution points, Outer Energy Realm contribution points, Spiritual God Realm contribution points, Inner Energy Realm contribution points, Outer Energy Realm contribution points, Spiritual God Realm contribution points) (10 contribution points required to accept the mission)
Level 4 mission: Destroy the Boundless Sect (10,000 contribution points required to accept the mission) (100 contribution points required to accept the mission)
Level 3 mission: Kill a Tiger's Howl Sect disciple (— —)
Level 5 mission: Destroy the Tiger's Howl Sect (— —)
Level 2 mission: Kill a Chiyang Sect disciple (— —)
Level 4 mission: Destroy the Chiyang Sect (— —)
—
Level 5 mission: Kill a Heavenly Corpse Sect disciple (Basic Realm contribution points, True Martial Realm contribution points, Inner Energy Realm contribution points, 150 Inner Energy Realm contribution points, 1,500 Outer Energy Realm contribution points, 6,000 Spiritual God Realm contribution points, 15,000 Airborne Realm contribution points, 50,000 Spiritual God Realm contribution points, Divine Martial Realm contribution points) (100 contribution points required to accept the mission)
Level 7 mission: Destroy the Heavenly Corpse Sect (Reward: 2,000,000 contribution points required to accept the mission) (1,000 contribution points required to accept the mission)
On the mission panel.
A dense list of missions appeared, filling up the entire panel.
They were all the same.
It was either to kill a sect disciple or to destroy a sect.
Just from the words of the mission, everyone could feel an extremely dense killing intent.
However —
Some people even noticed the backgrounds of the sects that had the bounty on the mission panel.
