After exiting the secret storehouse, Zhuge Jun and Wei Bofang waited patiently in the front hall.
They were both smart people and knew very well who their current positions were due to. Once they lost Jiang Wang's support, the people who occupied their positions would not let them go.
Jiang Wang originally wanted to sweep the secret storehouse clean, but there was not much left in the Ethereal Hall's secret storehouse. They were all mediocre magic tools and it would be difficult to sell them for a good price. After he obtained the real "Ethereal Hall", he did not care much about it. In the end, he decided to preserve a bit of his image as the Hall Master.
"Lead the way to the Inheritance Hall. I want to take a look at my Hall's secret techniques." Jiang Wang turned his attention to the Ethereal Hall's secret techniques.
A sect that had been passed down for a long time should have some secret techniques hidden at the bottom of their chests.
It was natural for the Hall Master to possess the sect's secret techniques. Wei Bofang naturally would not refuse.
From his and Zhuge Jun's point of view, the new Hall Master was a bit of a money-grubber. This was not necessarily a bad thing. One would only treasure the Ethereal Hall if they treasured their possessions.
From this point of view, the first thing the new Hall Master did after taking power was to understand his own "possessions". This was understandable.
Even if he did not understand, he would force himself to understand or at least pretend to understand.
He immediately led the way and the group turned to the Inheritance Hall.
The Inheritance Hall's security was tighter than the Feng Hall's, but it would not stop the Hall Master.
Jiang Wang easily entered the secret storehouse and plundered his gains.
The Ethereal Hall's secret techniques of different levels were all recorded in three jade slips. Disciples of different levels cultivated different levels of techniques. After using the Ethereal Hall's secret technique to break the restriction, one's divine sense would be able to detect it.
Dou Mian was able to bring Zhong Qin to participate in Chi Yunshan. His control of the Ethereal Hall could only be more thorough than Jiang Wang's. The Ethereal Hall's secret techniques were no longer a secret to the previous Hall Master, Dou Mian. The essence of the techniques should have been copied in the Dou Clan.
Jiang Wang had no reason to keep it to himself. After a rough understanding, he directly contributed all of it to the Dao Development Stage.
No matter what, the Ethereal Palace was still a Sect with a long history. Although it had been destroyed several times, the Cultivation Methods and Secret Techniques that were qualified to be preserved in the Technique Inheritance Hall were also dazzling.
It was a pity that he didn't get much contribution points after using it on the Dao Development Platform.
There were close to a hundred scattered cultivation methods and more than a thousand dao techniques. The foundation of a sect was only exchanged for 2,100 cultivation method points.
Considering the Dao Development Platform's inclination towards originality, these dao techniques should have already been contributed by others, which was why the benefits were so low. The most likely person was Dou Mian. Given the size of the Great Chu Dou clan, it was normal for someone to have a spot in the Great Illusionary Realm.
Come to think of it, Dou Mian did not lose too much in this deal. He had already squeezed the value of the Ethereal Palace dry once, and now he was using it to buy Jiang Wang's life. His previous dissatisfaction on Chi Yun Mountain was more like a performance to prevent Jiang Wang from demanding an exorbitant price.
If Jiang Wang had not found the real "Ethereal Palace" in the secret vault of the Feng Hall, this deal might not even be worth one million Dao Yuan Stones.
All in all, both sides had their own desires, and both sides had their own hidden goals.
Jiang Wang had originally accumulated 2,300 cultivation method points in the Great Illusionary Realm, and was only 700 cultivation method points away from advancing. Now that he had this income, he immediately pushed the Dao Development Platform to the third level, and had an extra 1,200 cultivation method points. Because of the glorious effect of being the number one Soaring Dragon of the Great Void, the third level of the Dao Development Platform had the same effect as the fourth level.
As for advancing from the third level to the fourth level, it already required 100,000 cultivation method points. Jiang Wang only needed to unseal it now, and that would require 30,000 cultivation method points. It was almost impossible to advance in a short period of time. He didn't know how Zuo Guanglie had pushed the Dao Development Platform to such a terrifying level back then …
Jiang Wang did not take a fancy to any of the cultivation methods of the Ethereal Palace. Not to mention the fact that there were no cultivation methods that directly led to the peak, there weren't even any cultivation methods that involved the Immortal Descent. It was as if the roots had been dug out.
There were no powerful cultivation methods from the Cloud Top Immortal Palace era.
However, it made sense when he thought about it. If the Ethereal Palace really had cultivation methods of that level, it would have been difficult for them to survive until now. They would have been plundered long ago.
In comparison, the Dao technique system of the Ethereal Palace was more complicated. It mainly focused on the Cloud Dao, and there were indeed some outstanding ones. However, Jiang Wang did not have the heart to cultivate.
Firstly, it was not good to bite off more than one could chew. He focused on the Fire and Wood Dao techniques, and had already formed his own combat system. Secondly, it was for the same reason that the Dou clan already knew all of these Dao techniques. With the Dou clan's foundation, they could easily create countless cultivation methods to break these Dao techniques. With Jiang Wang's talent and level, it was not worth it to spend too much effort on these Dao techniques.
Jiang Wang had always been very clear-headed when it came to cultivation.
After summarizing the benefits of the Ethereal Palace, Jiang Wang's trip could be considered to have come to a conclusion. The Ethereal Palace that existed in the ruins of the Cloud Top Immortal Palace was what he needed the most. As for the others, they were more or less incidental. There was nothing to be greedy about.
With this mentality, Jiang Wang casually exchanged a few words with his two "confidants" after leaving the Secret Technique Storehouse. Then, he suddenly looked at Wei Bofang, "Elder Wei, what do you think if I let you take control of the Ethereal Palace? Are you confident that you can manage it well? "
Wei Bofang immediately panicked. He pointed to the sky and drew an oath, "Heaven and earth can be my witness. I am loyal and devoted to the Palace Master. I have no intention of overstepping my authority! "
Regardless of whether it was real or not, Jiang Wang approved of this attitude.
He smiled slightly and said with a gentle expression, "What I mean is, what if I let you take over the Palace Master's duties as the Head Elder? Of course, the Ethereal Palace belongs to me. However, I have more important matters to attend to. Moreover, I am engrossed in cultivation. I am afraid that I do not have much time to take care of the sect's affairs. If I want to find someone to take care of these matters, Elder Wei, you are a founding member of the Palace. You understand the Palace very well. Moreover, you have high expectations of the people. You are the best choice. "
He made his words clear. Wei Bofang knew that this was not a test. After thinking for a while, he immediately said, "A person like you would naturally want to reach the peak of the Transcendent Realm. The Ethereal Palace is shallow water. A True Dragon would not be able to stay for long. "
The old man flattered him first. Then, with a sincere expression, he said, "If you leave all the sect's trivial matters to me, I will do my best. I will do my best to follow the Palace Master's plan. I will not deviate from it. Everything will be based on the Palace Master's ideas. I will protect the Palace Master's foundation! "
He quickly grasped the key points. He was very clear-headed. He knew what Jiang Wang wanted and what he did not want. He gave his promise. Of course, only he knew how trustworthy he was.
Jiang Wang originally wanted to make a fortune and leave like a bandit. He wanted to take away all the valuable things and leave the Ethereal Palace to fend for itself. However, the "shabby" state of the Ethereal Palace made him change his mind. This was because most of the Ethereal Palace's value could not be moved. It was not worth it to leave after making a fortune.
Since he had already gotten what he wanted, Jiang Wang decided to put down a chess piece and let the Ethereal Palace develop on its own for a while. He wanted to see what would happen.
It would be good if it succeeded. However, if it did not, he would not lose much.
He would not stay in the Cheng Nation for long. Therefore, he needed someone to carry out his will regarding the management of the Ethereal Palace.
Other than Wei Bofang and Zhuge Jun, he had no other choice in the Ethereal Palace.
Although Zhuge Jun was promoted to the position of Elder, he was only in the Soaring Dragon Realm. He could not suppress the others. If he was promoted, he would not even know how he died.
Therefore, Wei Bofang could only be the acting Palace Master.
Zhuge Jun, who was the first to surrender, could be used as a chess piece to supervise the balance. He could represent himself in the Ethereal Palace.
"Elder Zhuge." Jiang Wang had already made up his mind. He asked, "Are you willing to take up the position of Supervisor? When I am not around, you will control the movements of the Faction for me?"
Zhuge Jun glanced at Wei Bofang carefully. To put it bluntly, this position was to keep Wei Bofang in check. However, he did not have the confidence to supervise Wei Bofang.
However, although he felt guilty, he knew where his current power and status came from.
Loyalty, or rather, showing as much loyalty as possible, was his only advantage and choice.
"I am willing to sacrifice my life for the Palace Master," he replied respectfully. "However, there is already an Elder in charge of supervising the Faction. He is the Third Seat Elder."
There were five Elders in the Ethereal Palace. Since Zhong Qin died, Wei Bofang was promoted from the Second Seat to the First Seat. Zhuge Jun had just become an Elder, and his strength was relatively weak. Naturally, he would take the last seat.
Jiang Wang looked at him meaningfully. "Now, you are the Third Seat Elder."
Zhuge Jun hurriedly bowed. "I am willing to die for the Palace Master!"
Jiang Wang waved his hand. "I don't care about what you say. I only care about what you do."
His gaze swept past Wei Bofang and landed on Zhuge Jun. He handed over a jade slip. "This Spirit Extinguishing Scroll is for you. I hope you can open the Inner Palace as soon as possible. Let your strength be worthy of your status, and let others have nothing to say. "
The Spirit Extinguishing Scroll was one of the three techniques in the Inheritance Hall that could be used directly to the Outer Palace. It was not something that Zhuge Jun, who was in the Soaring Dragon Realm, could come into contact with. It could be said that he could only be considered an Elder in the true sense of the word after he mastered this technique.
Zhuge Jun took the Spirit Extinguishing Scroll. His treacherous triangular eyes suddenly shed tears. He choked with sobs. "My parents gave birth to me, and the only one who knows me is the Palace Master! I, Zhuge Jun, have been looked down upon all my life. Only the Palace Master has treated me with sincerity. From now on, my life belongs to the Palace Master! "
Jiang Wang did not know how sincere his tears were, but he did not care. He then took out a jade belt and handed it to Wei Bofang. "I see that Elder Wei's attire is very simple. I think you are a simple person. I wonder if this instrument is to your liking?"
Naturally, Wei Bofang was deeply grateful again.
After Wei Bofang made his promise, Jiang Wang did not immediately agree to his position. Instead, he made arrangements for Zhuge Jun first. This was a small warning to Wei Bofang. He wanted to let him know who gave him his power and status.
In the future, Zhuge Jun would be his eyes, but at the same time, he would share glory with Wei Bofang. Not only could Wei Bofang not resist Zhuge Jun, but he also had to support him and help Zhuge Jun establish his authority.
Whether or not this arrangement would work, and whether or not it was effective, required time to test. Jiang Wang himself did not have much confidence.
Wei Bofang and Zhuge Jun were not easy to control.
However, it was just a casual move.
Regardless of whether it was the Spirit Extinguishing Scroll or the jade belt, they were all items from the Ethereal Palace. Jiang Wang did not care about them. He did not feel bad about using them to present Buddha.
What if he could gain something?
Cheng Country and Zhuang Country were neighbors. If he could firmly control a power here, he would have a bright future.
