Mount Liang Spirit Domain.
As the first line of defense of the North Cloud Mansion, it was also desolate.
Even though there were top sects here, it was still the same.
After all, although the top sects were strong.
Compared to the Monster Race, they were still too weak.
Even though the Monster Race had retreated, there were still traces of devastation.
Yuan Sect.
Zheng Fang's face was also a little pale. He turned his head and looked at Xu Yuanming. "Have all the Monster Race retreated to the Skyend Mountain Range?"
"From the news, the Human Emperor faked his death and the Monster Race has retreated."
"This calamity is finally over."
Zheng Fang also breathed a sigh of relief.
During this period of Monster Race attack, Qin Shujian was not here. As the Great Elder, he was also under a lot of pressure.
The Moon Devouring Wolf Clan was not weak, and they could control a large number of monsters.
In addition to that.
There were also other Monster Race attacks.
Relying on Jiang Feng alone, it was also completely impossible to contend with so many powerhouses.
In the end, he activated the array left by Qin Shujian to protect the inheritance.
But even so.
Yuan Sect also suffered a great loss.
Among them, many disciples died in the hands of the Monster Race. Even some Guest Elders in the God Martial Arts Realm were found to have died accidentally.
As for Zheng Fang himself, he was also seriously injured in the hands of a God Martial Arts Realm Monster.
If it were not for the timely rescue of Yuan Sect experts.
This First Elder had most likely perished in the Demon Race Army.
Xu Yuanming asked, "How is the Great Elder's injury now?"
"It's not a big problem. He will recover after a period of recuperation." Zheng Fang shook his head and said, "Now that the Human Emperor has faked his death and revived, the turmoil in the world has gradually subsided. The Monster Race has retreated to the Skyend Mountain Range.
Our sect should not have a big problem in this time. "
"However, there is news that the Human Emperor will attack the Monster Race in a month. We still need to pay attention to this matter."
In the end, Zheng Fang added one more sentence.
Xu Yuanming nodded. "Yuan Pavilion has been paying close attention."
Speaking of Yuan Pavilion.
The two of them were relieved.
The only good thing about the chaos of the Monster Race this time was probably the change in Yuan Pavilion.
In the past, other than assassination missions, there were also assassination missions in Yuan Pavilion.
After this incident.
Others discovered that in addition to assassination missions, they could also hire some people to protect them or do some things for them.
The misconceptions in his thinking had been revealed, causing the number of missions in Yuan Pavilion to increase day by day.
If it was said that Yuan Sect didn't suffer a huge loss this time.
Then, a considerable portion of the subsidies would come from Yuan Pavilion.
"Speaking of which, two million taels to ensure their survival for twenty years seems to be too much of a loss for us. Should we think of a way to raise the price?" Xu Yuanming suddenly changed the topic and said with a smile.
This time, the sects of the Liang Mountain Spirit Domain had suffered heavy losses.
However, in all seriousness, not a single sect was destroyed.
On the one hand, such sects had a strong foundation and could not attract the attention of the demon race. Naturally, they would not send too many experts to kill them.
There was another aspect.
It was these sects that issued the missions and received the support of many rogue cultivators.
Other than that.
Yuan Zong did not turn a blind eye to this. These sects had also sent people to request for help. As long as it was within their capabilities, Yuan Zong would also send people to help.
Back then, he had charged the other party two million taels.
It was because Yuan Sect was still very weak at that time and had a weak foundation in all aspects. That was why it was like this.
However, Yuan Sect had developed too quickly.
In just a few years, it had directly climbed to the level of a top sect.
When he looked back again.
Two million taels to ensure their survival for twenty years, no matter how he looked at it, it was a loss.
Hearing this.
Zheng Fang shook his head and said, "This can't be done. Otherwise, our sect's reputation will be tarnished."
"Then forget it."
Xu Yuanming smiled. He had just come up with this idea on a whim.
Whether this matter could be done or not, he was very clear about it.
Just as the two of them were talking.
Zheng Fang and Xu Yuanming's communication jade talismans moved. Then, the two of them sent their Divine Senses down. After a while, they looked at each other and smiled.
"It seems that I don't need to care about this matter anymore. The person in charge has returned."
"Great Elder, do you want to go together?"
"Let's go together!"
Outside the mountain gate.
Qin Shujian had already appeared there.
It took him a lot of time to return from the Central State Prefecture to the Beiyun Mansion. Now that he had returned, he was relieved to see that the mountain gate was still in good condition.
Just as he stepped into the mountain gate.
A few elders were already approaching them.
"Sect Master!"
"Yes, the Demon Clan has been causing trouble recently. Has anything major happened?" Qin Shujian could tell at a glance that Zheng Fang and the others were weak. It was obvious that they had suffered serious internal injuries.
For this.
He was already prepared.
As long as they didn't die, it was fine to suffer some injuries.
Zheng Fang said: "This time, many of our sect's disciples have died or been injured in the Demon Clan's turmoil."
"When you step into the cultivation world, you should have been prepared. Life and death are up to fate. No one can change anything." Qin Shujian shook his head slightly. His expression didn't change.
This was the case when one's strength was inferior to others.
If one day he encountered a stronger enemy, he would have nothing to say if he was killed.
So.
From the beginning to the end, Qin Shujian had been constantly improving his strength.
From the threat of the players at the beginning, to the Devil Calamity Demons, as well as the experts of the Human Clan and the Demon Clan, it was the same.
As long as he embarked on this path, there would be no chance of stability.
If he wanted stability.
Only if he was strong enough.
As the few of them chatted, they had already arrived at the Inherited Martial Hall.
At this time, the news of Qin Shujian's return had completely spread.
There was no need for the Sect Master to summon them. The elders of the various branches had already spontaneously arrived.
"Greetings, Sect Master!"
"Elders, please take a seat!"
"Thank you, Sect Master."
Ever since he broke through to the Divinity Realm, Qin Shujian had always had a faintly discernible aura. He didn't deliberately restrain this aura, nor would he deliberately erupt it.
But ordinary cultivators would involuntarily maintain reverence in front of him.
This was the power of a Divinity Realm cultivator.
Now in the Inherited Martial Hall, although the people sitting were all elders of the Yuan Sect, in terms of strength, the gap between them and a Divinity Realm cultivator was not just a little.
Even Xiang Haogan, a great cultivator of the God Martial Arts Realm.
In front of the current Qin Shujian, he didn't dare to overstep in the slightest.
Qin Shujian looked at the crowd and said calmly, "Elders, you have contributed greatly to the fact that our sect is safe and sound when the Demon Race army attacked."
"Sect Master, you're exaggerating!"
Zheng Fang said first. Then, he cupped his hands and said, "Sect Master, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it."
"Great Elder, feel free to say it."
"Now that our sect has been involved in many wars, we have lost a lot of disciples. I think we should open the mountain gate and recruit disciples with potential in Beiyun Mansion."
"Recruit disciples."
Qin Shujian's expression was solemn. He didn't immediately answer the other party.
Indeed.
The Yuan Sect had been involved in several wars and had lost a lot of disciples.
Correspondingly, the number of people who provided him with life had decreased by a lot.
However, the Yuan Sect originally had more than ten thousand disciples. At its peak, it had more than twenty thousand disciples. This number of disciples was already one of the best among all the sects.
If they continued to recruit disciples, it would inevitably arouse the suspicion of the imperial court.
However, after meeting the Human Emperor this time, Qin Shujian realized that he had misunderstood some things.
Given the Human Emperor's breadth of mind and vision, he would definitely not be constrained by a small sect.
Even if the sect had hundreds of thousands of cultivators, it might not be able to move the Human Emperor.
At this moment.
When Qin Shujian looked at the Yuan Sect again with his Dharma Eye, there were no signs of bad luck shrouding the Yuan Sect's luck.
Back when the Yuan Sect had reached the peak of a fifth-grade force.
Although the Yuan Sect's luck was strong, it was covered by bad luck.
Now, the Yuan Sect's luck was still strong, but the bad luck that shrouded it had disappeared without a trace.
Qin Shujian knew very well what this meant.
When Xi Yang was outside, the other party couldn't tolerate the birth of a sixth-grade force. Now that the Human Emperor was in power, he had no scruples about it.
He could tell from the fact that the Human Emperor gave him the Mountain-breaking Halberd and the Broken Jade.
After all, two six-seal Dao Artifacts could give birth to a sixth-grade sect.
It was impossible that the Human Emperor didn't know.
At this time, the Human Emperor gave him the Dao Artifacts to make him feel more at ease.
After a short moment of consideration.
Qin Shujian nodded slightly and said, "It's time to recruit disciples. Now is the right time. However, in this recruitment, other than the talented ones, the rest of the disciples will be based on talent.
As for the age, they cannot be more than sixteen years old. "
After the age of sixteen, one's foundation would be set.
If they wanted to be nurtured, the chances of them reaching the peak in the future would not be high.
The Yuan Sect now was different from before.
In the past, the Yuan Sect lacked experts, but now, the Yuan Sect didn't lack that.
The Yuan Sect now.
What they needed was the accumulation of a foundation and enough time to develop.
It didn't matter if the batch of disciples recruited now couldn't form an effective fighting force in the short term, but after a few years, these disciples would gradually grow.
This was especially so with the current resources of the Yuan Sect and the abundant spirit energy in the sect.
As long as a disciple with normal aptitude stayed for a few years, it wouldn't be a big problem for them to enter the Real Martial Realm.
However, it was easy to enter the Real Martial Realm.
However, if they wanted to go further, they couldn't just rely on resources. There were certain requirements for talent in all aspects.
For the Yuan Sect.
What they lacked now wasn't the Real Martial Realm or the Spiritual Martial Realm, but a batch of disciples with the potential to grow.
In the future, they could strive for the Spiritual Martial Realm, the Divine Martial Realm, and even the Heavenly Man Realm.
Hearing this.
The others also remained silent.
Opening the sect to recruit disciples was also a lot of benefits for them.
After these few incidents, all the branches had suffered a lot. Especially the branches in the Stone Forest, they were the first to bear the brunt.
Since the sect was opened this time, they could get some new blood.
As for what happened later.
Qin Shujian just gave a few simple instructions and it was over.
After leaving the Chengwu Hall.
Qin Shujian didn't go anywhere. Instead, he ran to the forbidden area.
The entire Yuan Sect.
It could be said that other than the courtyard where he lived, he stayed the longest in the forbidden area.
This was something that couldn't be helped.
With Qin Shujian's identity as the Sect Master, it wasn't appropriate for him to wander around in the Yuan Sect.
After arriving at the forbidden area.
Qin Shujian took out two storage rings.
As for the origin of the storage rings.
One came from Du Chengwu and the other from Shen Hong.
Both of them were Marquises, so they must have a lot of treasures in their hands. However, he didn't have time to check the storage rings after getting them for so long.
Now that he was back in the Yuan Sect, most of the things were almost done.
The rest of the time.
It was time to count the gains this time.
First of all.
Qin Shujian immersed his mind and recognized the two storage rings as their owners.
With the death of Du Chengwu and Shen Hong, the Master Recognition Mark on the rings had long disappeared.
Therefore, it wasn't difficult for him to recognize them as their owners.
After the recognition process.
Qin Shujian picked up the storage ring that originally belonged to Du Chengwu. When he immersed his mind into it, a wide space suddenly appeared in his perception.
There weren't many things inside.
However, when Qin Shujian's mind scanned through them one by one, his heart was shocked.
Materials!
All of them were top quality materials.
There were also some exquisite bottles. He guessed that those should be elixirs.
In addition, there were two Inheritance Crystals. He could feel the aura on them.
These two Inheritance Crystals emitted the aura of Heavenly Beings.
Divinity Realm martial arts!
And Divinity Realm martial arts!
Qin Shujian couldn't be sure, but the things inside were definitely at the Divinity Realm.
In addition to these things, there were also rows of jade boxes piled up.
His mind moved.
A jade box appeared in his hand.
Then.
Qin Shujian opened the jade box. A surge of spirit energy rushed out.
"Spirit stones!" Looking at the ten spirit stones neatly arranged in the jade box, he felt his hands tremble a little.
If one jade box contained ten spirit stones.
Qin Shujian seriously counted the jade boxes in the storage ring. There were more than fifty of them.
Ten spirit stones in one jade box.
More than fifty jade boxes. That was more than five hundred spirit stones.
Let's not talk about anything else.
Just by looking at these five hundred spirit stones, Qin Shujian knew that this was a good deal.
As for Divinity Realm martial arts and martial arts!
To be honest.
Qin Shujian would never complain about having too many of these things.
Every cultivation method and martial art was suitable for different people.
The more martial arts there were, the more experts there would be.
In other words.
Yuan Zong now had two Divinity Realm martial arts. One came from the Heavenly Corpse Sect, and the other was his own Guiyuan Ancestral Canon.
In comparison.
The power of the Guiyuan Ancestral Canon was naturally a street ahead of the Heavenly Corpse Sect's martial arts.
Then.
To cultivate the Guiyuan Ancestral Canon, not everyone could reach a profound level.
This was also why.
Although all of the sects' legacies referred to a single cultivation technique, the reason why there were so many cultivation techniques in each sect was because there were so many of them.
To put it bluntly.
It was a matter of choice.
After understanding the treasures in Du Chengwu's hands, Qin Shujian's attention fell on Shen Hong's storage ring.
There were so many treasures on the body of a Fallen Moon Marquis.
As the more experienced Wu 'an Marquis, he would not be much inferior.
As his mind sank.
Qin Shujian's body did not move for a while.
After a long time.
His mind withdrew from inside, and there was an unconcealable smile on his face.
Divinity Realm martial arts.
It was also the same.
"In that case, the Divinity Realm martial arts in Du Chengwu and Shen Hong's storage rings should be the inheritance of the Du and Shen families!"
Qin Shujian thought to himself. Only the current Patriarch was qualified to sit in the position of a Marquis.
If the Du and Shen families were placed in the cultivation world, they would be supreme families that could suppress the top sects.
However.
Now, these aristocratic families had been annihilated.
No matter how deep his foundation and strength were, in front of the Human Emperor, he was vulnerable.
After suppressing this thought.
Qin Shujian also counted the spirit stones in the storage ring and finally came to a result.
"Seven hundred and twenty-seven!"
Taking a deep breath.
Qin Shujian's face did not show any excitement, but calmed down.
When one thing reached a certain level, there was no longer the joy at the beginning.
What he wanted to think now.
It was about how to use the extra spirit stones that he had obtained.
"Should I sell them? No, it's a bit inappropriate. After all, spirit stones are so precious. If I exchange them for some resources, I may lose money."
"Shen Hong has more than 700 spirit stones, Du Chengwu has more than 500 spirit stones, plus the spirit stones that Xi Yang gave me and the inventory that I have, now I have a total of 1,397 spirit stones."
"If I round it up, I should have 1,400 spirit stones now."
"In the Main Sect of the Heavenly Corpse Sect, there were only dozens of spirit stones buried. In other words, 1,400 spirit stones are enough to build the foundation of a supreme sect."
Qin Shujian's mind was spinning wildly.
It was certain that the spirit stones would be buried in the Main Sect.
However, it wasn't appropriate to bury all 1,400 Spirit Stones in one go.
Doing so.
Although the Spirit Qi of the Origin Sect would rise steadily, it could not maximize the benefits.
Moreover, if the environment was too comfortable, the subsequent disciples would probably retire in the Main Sect. Except for assessment missions, probably not many people would be willing to move their butts.
Thinking of this, Qin Shujian sighed, "What I need is not only strong people, but also strong people who keep going out to harvest the source of life for me. If those people do not move for ten thousand years, even if you give me a few thousand Celestial Beings, it will be useless."
Nurturing the Sect was his idea.
But the real purpose of nurturing the Sect was to contribute the source of life to himself.
Or else …
In a few decades, his advantage might be caught up by the players.
Although a few decades was a long time, when that time came, there would be no place to cry.
Therefore.
The improvement of strength could not be stopped. As long as the players were still around, this progress could not be stopped.
Among so many players, there might be enemies who wanted to kill him all the time.
It was only because of the problem of strength that they did not take action.
When the players advanced to the Celestial Being, they would not kill him.
Therefore.
Qin Shujian was very clear in his heart.
The disciples had to recruit.
The strength of the Origin Sect had to be increased.
At the same time, his strength had to be constantly improved.
This was inseparable from the existence of the source of life.
His thoughts stopped here.
Qin Shujian already had a follow-up idea.
"Bury a part of the Spirit Stones to improve the foundation of the Sect. The remaining Spirit Stones can be considered to create a secret realm of inheritance for the disciples to cultivate."
Open up a secret realm.
This idea suddenly appeared after he broke through to the second realm of the Array Guru realm.
The second realm of the Guru realm.
The array had gradually broken away from the inherent category and reached the level of deriving rules.
Strictly speaking.
Such an array was actually already an imperfect small world.
According to Qin Shujian's guess, perhaps the third realm of the Guru realm could completely derive a small world.
And this, with a slight transformation, would be the prototype of a secret realm.
Although there was also a cultivation room in the Sect.
The Spirit Qi in the cultivation room was only a little denser than the outside world, but the degree of density was not too high.
After all, only a few Spirit Stones were used, and the overall amount provided was not much.
And although there was an array to seal and fix the Spirit Stones in an area, there would always be some Spirit Qi spilling out.
But a secret realm was different.
All of the Spirit Qi could be firmly sealed inside.
However.
Opening up a secret realm was not a simple thing.
Even if Qin Shujian did it himself, it would take some time to prepare.
Then.
He took out a halberd and a pair of gloves.
Mountain-breaking Halberd!
Jade of Defeat!
As soon as the two six-seal Dao weapons appeared, they burst out with a strong killing intent as if to kill him.
Even if Du Chengwu and Shen Hong were dead.
These two Dao weapons that had followed them for many years still remembered Qin Shujian as an enemy.
However, as soon as the two Dao weapons attacked, they were directly suppressed by Qin Shujian's palm.
"Even Du Chengwu and Shen Hong are no match for me. How dare these two ownerless Dao weapons resist without permission. You're courting death!"
The 366 star acupoints shone brightly, and the two Dao weapons were directly suppressed by this tyrannical force.
Then.
Qin Shujian's Divine Thought fell again. Two Confinement Arrays fell and sealed the two Dao weapons.
At this moment.
In mid-air, the two Dao weapons trembled slightly, trying to break through the array seal. However, they only caused the void to tremble, but there was no way to break through the array.
Looking at the two Dao weapons in front of him.
Qin Shujian reached out and rubbed his chin.
He was thinking about something now.
Should he directly refine the two Dao weapons and let Yuan Sect be promoted to a sixth-grade force, or should he swallow the two Dao weapons and use his luck points to upgrade the other Dao weapons?
The former was needless to say, and it would be much less troublesome.
However.
Qin Shujian thought of the scene in the imperial city and shook his head. Even if he didn't think that the Human Emperor would use such a method, it would be better to be safe than sorry. If the other party really did something, it would be troublesome in the future.
As for the latter, although it would save time and effort, it would also have a certain hidden danger.
After all, if a three-seal Dao weapon suddenly became a six-seal Dao weapon, it would be impossible not to attract attention.
The method to upgrade Dao weapons.
This was not just for show.
In the beginning, it wasn't a big problem. After all, those who knew that the Mountain Blood was a two-seal Dao weapon were mostly dead. The remaining people mistakenly thought that the Mountain Blood might be a three-seal Dao weapon.
It was just that he didn't use it much before, so others mistook it for a two-seal Dao weapon.
As for the fact that the Mountain Blood was originally a fifth-grade weapon, to be honest, the two were completely different now. Even Gu Feng would definitely not be able to recognize it.
"So be it. Anyway, I'm strong enough. Why should I worry about other people's guesses?"
Qin Shujian's eyes suddenly turned ruthless.
He was already a Heavenly Being. Why should he worry so much?
If there really was a problem, it would be a matter of the future. There would naturally be a solution.
It was no big deal.
It was fine if he changed to an inconspicuous Dao weapon to upgrade.
