Don't even think about expanding the branch.
Qin Shujian spoke right away, stopping them from saying anything.
After all, to expand the branch, they would need many experts to maintain it.
And with the current situation of the branch, they would definitely need to arrange a few elders and deacons in the future to strengthen the sect's defenses.
For the Sky Origin Sect, what they lacked the most now was experts who could take charge.
At this moment.
Zheng Fang said, "Cough cough, Sect Master, can this old man say a few words?"
"Great Elder, if you have something to say, please say it."
"Currently, our sect has established branches in Liang Mountain, Stone Forest, Lion Tiger Plain and Xining Plain. In terms of area, this is about one-third of the Ordinary Realm.
This territory was enough for my sect in the past.
But according to Sect Master's current plan, the territory that our sect occupies is far from enough. "
Zheng Fang slowly opened his mouth and said.
"So in my opinion, we should not directly expand the branches and move them to other areas, and then use the method of one city per branch to strengthen the foundation of each branch."
"Moreover, the disciples of the main sect can all be assigned to the branches. In the future, the branches will also have a foundation and send talents to the main sect through an annual assessment."
"In this way, the problem of having too many disciples will be basically solved."
The Chengwu Hall fell into a short silence.
Everyone's expression was different.
If they really did this, it would be equivalent to establishing the supreme status of the main sect. Each branch would have to respect the main sect and send outstanding disciples to the main sect every year. On the contrary, the main sect would no longer teach ordinary disciples.
Ceng Hong and the others looked at each other, but no one spoke up to oppose.
Regardless of whether they did this or not, the main sect now had a supreme status.
So.
Moments after Zheng Fang finished speaking, an elder nodded and said, "Great Elder's words also make some sense. If we do this, the problem of disciples will be alleviated."
However, there were also elders who spoke out their concerns.
"Each branch has already established a foundation. If we rashly move, years of hard work will be wasted. It will also be a big loss."
The various branches nurtured the earth veins and buried spirit stones, spending a lot of resources.
Although spirit stones could be dug out, some things could not be taken away.
If they were to really expand the territory of the large sects, the various branches would have to move, and they would also suffer a lot of losses.
At this moment, some people were already looking at Qin Shujian.
Fu Gang smiled faintly and said, "The main sect should be able to bear the losses of the subsidiary sects. Our subsidiary sects are already in dire straits. If there are any more losses, we won't be able to eat."
Cao Sheng also nodded, "That's right, I wonder if the Main Sect will provide any subsidies?"
At this moment.
The opinions of the elders of the various branches were surprisingly unanimous.
Everyone knew that Qin Shujian was a real miser. He was not stingy, but he was close to it.
It wasn't that easy to get money from the other party.
Qin Shujian said: "Great Elder's words are not false, our sect is a top sect, if we stay in the Ordinary Realm then we will lose a bit of face. Now is a good time to expand our sect.
As for the issue of subsidies for the various branches, you don't have to worry too much. The main sect will take care of this. "
"Sect Master is so righteous!"
The elders looked at each other and then said in unison.
After the matter was finalized.
The elders of the various branches got up and left.
The relocation of the subsidiary sects was not a small matter, there were still many things to deal with.
In Qin Shujian's opinion.
There were also many problems on the side of the main sect.
The first problem.
That was, the original disciples of the main sect would be sent to the various branches. In other words, the main sect would not take in those ordinary disciples in the future. Only the top disciples of the various branches would be qualified to enter the main sect.
If they really did that, the main sect would become the holy land of the disciples of the other branches.
As the elders of the various branches left, Qin Shujian did not get up. Instead, he looked at the others and said, "After this matter is confirmed, the disciples of the main sect will be distributed to the various branches.
Elders, do you have any thoughts on this matter? "
Niu Feng said, "It's not a problem to distribute the ordinary disciples, but some of the elders' disciples can stay in the main sect. After all, those who are chosen by the elders are not bad.
Moreover, these disciples are used to following the original elders. If they are separated rashly, it will not be good for their cultivation. "
Now in the sect, except for Zheng Fang who had not taken in any disciples.
The other elders, whether they had or not, would take in one or two disciples.
These disciples naturally had the intention of inheriting their legacy.
Those who could be chosen by them were basically not bad in terms of talent.
Xu Yuanming said, "Elder Niu is right."
Subsequently.
The other elders also chimed in.
Qin Shujian was also very clear about their thoughts.
Absolute fairness and justice could not be guaranteed in any place.
If the water was too clear, there would be no fish.
Therefore, Qin Shujian also kept silent about these things.
"The disciples are not a big problem, but if the disciples of the main sect are separated, the number of deacons and elders in the main sect is a bit too many, and they will need to be distributed to various branches."
Qin Shujian moved on to the next topic.
When he saw the slightly changed expressions of the others, he continued, "All of you here are elders of the inner sect. Naturally, you are in the inner cultivation world of the main sect. This time, some outer elders and deacons of the inner and outer sect will be transferred.
In my opinion, the elders of each division can recommend a list of names, and then the First Elder will distribute them. "
Qin Shujian did not intend to intervene too much in this matter.
He simply explained the framework and left the rest to Zheng Fang to deal with.
After leaving Chengwu Hall.
Qin Shujian returned to the courtyard alone.
The osmanthus tree had not changed. Except for the lush branches and leaves, and the osmanthus fragrance, there was nothing else.
Qin Shujian sat down on his stone stool and brewed a pot of tea. Then, he turned his attention to himself.
On the Attribute Panel, there was not much change.
The source of life was about 35 billion, and there was still a long way to go to 40 billion.
This time.
Qin Shujian's attention was completely focused on the Divine Ascension martial arts.
He had a lot of means, but ordinary martial arts were useless for a Celestial Being. Only the Divine Martial Arts could really improve the strength of a Celestial Being.
What was martial arts?
For example, a person's body contained 200 kilograms of strength.
But under normal circumstances, 100 kilograms of strength was sealed, and only 100 kilograms of strength could be used.
After practicing martial arts, the sealed strength would be less, and more strength could be used.
This — was the function of martial arts.
Powerful martial arts could even use 100% of one's strength.
But for a Celestial Being.
When the body broke the shackles and became a Transcendent, it could naturally use 100 percent of the strength, and there was no such thing as sealing or unsealing.
And the Divine Martial Arts, as the name suggested, was connected to the God of heaven and earth.
For example, a Celestial Being could use 10,000 tons of strength.
Then when using the Divine Martial Arts, on the basis of 10,000 tons, he could borrow 20,000 tons of strength from heaven and earth. This was the means of the Divine Martial Arts.
At the Celestial Being stage.
It was about borrowing the power of heaven and earth.
When a person's strength was limited, only the power of heaven and earth was endless.
Although Qin Shujian didn't agree with this saying, he understood that it was correct for him at this stage.
In the status panel.
There were four Divine Martial Arts.
Spirit Severing, Nine Tribulations Immortal Body, Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth, and Heavenly Cloud God Sealing Finger.
Among them, Heavenly Cloud God Sealing Finger was already at the maximum level, and there was no possibility of improvement. The other three Divine Martial Arts were at the first level.
These three Divinity Realm martial arts were quite useful.
Among them, Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth would increase the strength when improving the body.
The first tier of the Nine Tribulations Stainless Indestructible Body was the Thunderblast, which had greatly increased his defensive capabilities. His Protective Aura Qi also possessed a certain amount of power.
As for Spirit Severing, it was the method that Qin Shujian used the most.
Spirit Severing!
Spirit Severing.
Back then, the spiritual paper that Zheng Fang brought to the Traceless Sect had been imbued with Spirit Severing techniques.
Now that he had 35 billion life sources in front of him, even Divine Martial Arts had room for improvement.
"At this stage, there is no way to improve my strength, but I can improve my martial arts and further enhance my strength."
Qin Shujian muttered to himself.
He was completely immersed in the demonic barrier of improving his realm. If he had enough life sources, he would improve his realm. If he didn't have enough, he would continue to save them. When he had enough, he would improve his realm.
Realm was the foundation.
But under the premise that there was no hope of improving his realm, improving his martial arts was also a way to enhance his strength.
His consciousness swept back and forth on the three Divine Martial Arts.
Finally.
Qin Shujian's attention fell on the Divine Martial Arts, Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth.
There was no other reason.
Just the name alone made him like it.
With a thought, Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth jumped and transformed from the first level to the second level.
When he looked at the life sources again.
The 35 billion life sources had become 34.9 billion.
Qin Shujian said, "It consumed 100 million life sources to improve by one level. It seems that the threshold to improve Divine Martial Arts is much lower than I thought."
Subsequently.
He improved another level of Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth, consuming 200 million life sources.
The third level, consuming 400 million life sources.
The fourth level, consuming 800 million life sources.
The fifth level, consuming 1.6 billion life sources.
The sixth level, consuming 3.2 billion life sources.
The seventh level, consuming 6.4 billion life sources.
In the blink of an eye, 12.6 billion life sources were consumed. The original 34.9 billion life sources were only 22.3 billion.
Seeing this, Qin Shujian immediately stopped what he was doing.
"Every time I advance, it's twice as fast as the previous level!"
Qin Shujian took a deep breath.
Originally, he thought that with 100 million as the base, the improvement would not consume too much. But now, as it increased, he found that something was wrong.
Just from the sixth to the seventh level, it required 6.4 billion life sources. If it was cultivated to perfection, it would be tens of billions of life sources.
In Qin Shujian's view, his more than 30 billion would stop at the eighth level at most.
Looking at the Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth that had been promoted to the seventh level.
Qin Shujian's eyes flickered.
Although he did not really use it, he could understand that the seventh level of the Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth was definitely not comparable to the first level.
Subsequently.
Qin Shujian's gaze fell on Spirit Severing.
In for a penny, in for a pound.
Since the Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth had been upgraded, he might as well upgrade Spirit Severing, which was quite useful.
12.7 billion life sources were used.
Spirit Severing also soared from 10% to 70%.
70% of Spirit Severing!
Qin Shujian was confident that he could kill a Diviner.
However, being confident was one thing. Before he really did it, he could not be 100% sure.
At this time, there were only 9.6 billion life sources left.
Qin Shujian hesitated for a moment. Then, he consumed another 6.3 billion life sources to upgrade the Nine Tribulations Immortal Body to the sixth level.
Boom!!
In the instant of the upgrade.
Qin Shujian felt as if his body was exploding. Waves of mysterious power constantly surged from heaven and earth and then poured into his body.
As this power surged in.
His physical body, which was already strong to begin with, became even stronger at this moment.
That was not all.
Stimulated by this power, the Guiyuan Ancestral Canon began to slowly operate again. One star acupoint after another opened up in his body.
One!
Two!
Ten!
Twenty!
In less than half an hour, 500 of the original 463 Star acupoints had been opened under the impact of this energy.
There were now 37 star acupoints.
His strength had naturally increased by a lot.
Qin Shujian let out a long breath. "I never thought that upgrading the Nine Tribulations Immortal Body would allow me to use this power to nourish my body and open up star acupoints.
"But it makes sense. Opening star acupoints requires physical strength. The Nine Tribulations Immortal Body also strengthens the physical body. The two complement each other.
"Perhaps … I've found a new way to ascend to the next level."
Qin Shujian's mind lit up.
If the Nine Tribulations Immortal Body could open star acupoints.
If that was the case, would other body refining methods be able to achieve this as well?
But according to Qin Shujian's thinking, even if it was possible, it would need to be at least at the Deity level. Otherwise, it would not be so easy to increase the strength of a Deity.
"If I have the chance in the future, I should collect body-refining methods at the Deity level. Who knows, I might have an unexpected gain."
Qin Shujian made up his mind.
It was just that Deity level martial arts were too rare. It was already good enough for each top sect to have a few, and they might not necessarily be body-refining related.
So although he had this idea in mind, Qin Shujian quickly dismissed it and turned his attention to himself.
Another 6.3 billion of the 9.6 billion life force source was consumed, leaving only 3.3 billion life force source.
"Spending money like water!"
This was the only feeling Qin Shujian had.
The life force source that he had painstakingly accumulated for so long was almost exhausted in less than an hour.
Of course.
His success was also remarkable.
Two Deity level martial arts had reached the seventh level, and one had reached the sixth level.
And he had also gained an additional 37 star acupoints.
Even if he had not broken through at the moment, Qin Shujian felt that if he used all his means, his combat strength would at least go up a level.
"If I have the chance, I should find someone to practice with."
— —
After improving his strength, Qin Shujian also lived in seclusion and continued to enter a state of cultivation.
The cultivation of a Celestial Being required a long period of time.
Now that there was not much life force source, Qin Shujian also understood the principle of saving money.
If he could ascend to the second level of the Deity level, he could also save a lot of life force source.
While he was cultivating.
There was a big commotion in the Yuan Sect.
The first was the matter of the main sect's disciples being assigned to the various branches.
For the main sect's disciples, being assigned to the branches was no different from being sent to the border.
There was not enough spiritual qi in the branches, and there were not many resources. How could a place like the main sect, which was called a paradise, compare?
However.
How could the main sect's disciples object to these matters that had been decided?
Even if there was some trouble because of this, it was quickly suppressed.
Some disciples were dissatisfied with this, but they did not say anything and did not plan to leave the sect.
What a joke.
No matter how bad the branches were, it was not something that other sects could compare to.
Furthermore, although they were only branch families, they were still a part of Yuan Zong. Just this foundation alone was enough to intimidate others.
Not to mention.
The martial arts manuals in the branches, as well as the various resources provided by the main sect, were not lacking at all.
In fact, the identity of a disciple of the Yuan Sect alone was enough to make some people scramble.
It could be said that.
These disciples were dissatisfied because they were unwilling to change from the main sect, which was a holy place for cultivation, to other places.
It was not that the branches were bad, but the main sect was obviously better.
But now that they had no choice, they could only go to the branches.
Compared to the disciples' dissatisfaction.
The deacons and outer sect elders were much calmer.
This was because they knew more about Qin Shujian's means and understood the current status of the Yuan Sect.
Either they did not want to stay here, or they just had to listen to orders.
Unlike the main sect's movements, the movements at the branches were much quieter.
For the people of the branches, moving was fine as it would not harm their interests.
But this time, the actions of the Yuan Sect.
It did not just affect the main sect, but also some nearby sects.
Everyone wanted to know where the branches of the Yuan Sect would move to.
If they moved to a place near their own sect, should they pretend that they did not see it or not?
Any sect would feel pressured if a top-notch sect were to sit right next to them.
However.
If this was really the case, the safety factor of the sect would increase exponentially.
After all, a top sect's branch was right at their doorstep. Who would dare to find trouble with them and not be afraid of angering their own neighbors?
Therefore …
Some of these sects were nervous and anxious, while some were looking forward to it.
Time passed slowly while they were in such a complicated mood.
One month later.
After the main sect's disciples were allocated, the various branches of the Yuan Sect had also found a place to settle down.
What was left was to move the branches.
In the Chengwu Hall.
Many elders gathered again.
Fu Gang said, "Sect Master, now that the Xuan Vein is ready, we can move out of the original branch at any time, but I wonder when the resources will be in place?"
After saying that.
Li Zhongyi also said, "It's the same for the Yang Vein."
"The Earth Vein is ready."
"The Wind Vein is fine."
"The Sky Vein is ready."
The elders of the other branches all reported their work and then looked at Qin Shujian with shining eyes.
Now that everyone had found a place, they were just waiting for the main sect to allocate some resources.
Qin Shujian smiled faintly and said, "Elders, don't be anxious. Since we have found a place, we can choose a day to move."
"What about the resources?"
Fu Gang asked tentatively.
Qin Shujian said, "When the relocation is completed, you can report to the sect how many resources you have lost. I will give you all less."
"Thank you, Sect Master."
Fu Gang breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he couldn't get it immediately, it was the same to get it after the relocation.
Qin Shujian said, "Of the five branches, which one should move first?"
"Shouldn't all the branches move together?" Someone asked doubtfully.
Qin Shujian said, "It's too troublesome to move all five of them together. Let's do it one by one. Which branch should move first?"
After saying that.
Fu Gang, Ceng Hong and the others all looked at each other.
Which branch should move first? In fact, there was nothing to argue about.
Anyway, it didn't matter if they moved earlier or later.
In the end, Ceng Hong cupped his hands and said, "Sect Master, then the Sky Vein should move first!"
"That's good. Come with me!"
Qin Shujian nodded, then stood up from his seat and walked out of the hall.
Hearing this, the others looked at each other, their faces full of doubts.
However, doubts were doubts. Everyone got up and left behind Qin Shujian.
Led by Qin Shujian, the crowd directly left the mountain gate and headed for the Sky Vein.
Several branches were very close to each other. In less than a quarter of an hour, the crowd arrived in front of a mountain peak.
They only saw clouds lingering on the mountain peak. Even standing at the foot of the mountain, they could feel the rich Spirit Qi.
This was where the Sky Vein was located.
Seeing Qin Shujian stop, Ceng Hong said, "Sect Master, do you want to go to the Sky Vein?"
He didn't know why his Sect Master came to the Sky Vein.
Could it be that he came to help?
Thinking of this, Ceng Hong said, "Let us do the relocation. Sect Master, you have a noble status. You don't have to work for this."
Qin Shujian waved his hand, motioning him not to speak.
Seeing this.
Ceng Hong also closed his mouth.
Then, Qin Shujian took a step forward and said loudly, "All disciples of the Sky Vein are not allowed to leave the branch without permission from now on!"
His voice was not loud.
But it was heard by all the disciples of the Sky Vein.
After hearing this voice, the elders who stayed in the Sky Vein were all puzzled, but no one dared to hesitate and immediately shouted.
"The person who spoke is the Sect Master. No one is allowed to disobey."
After that.
Although the disciples of the Sky Vein were puzzled, they didn't dare to disobey.
At the same time, Qin Shujian waved his hand and said to the others, "All of you, step back!"
The others stepped back as they were told.
Some people were puzzled, while others were deep in thought. Soon after, shock appeared on their faces.
At this moment.
Qin Shujian directly activated the Law Phenomenon, and a huge amount of Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth surged. His body became thirty thousand feet tall, like a giant that could hold up the sky.
At this moment, a terrifying aura swept out in all directions, causing the clouds in the sky to retreat.
Everyone was shocked.
"What is the Sect Master doing?"
