"Dare I ask for your name … Clan Leader? No, Sect Leader! "
Just as Lin Fan was about to ask about Lin Xuan's identity, he saw Lin Xuan revert to his original appearance and disappear in a flash.
Lin Fan could not help but be stunned. He was extremely excited and immediately wanted to stand up and bow.
Lin Xuan waved his hand and poured a cup for himself and Lin Fan. He smiled faintly and said, "There's no need to stand on ceremony. You can call me whatever you want."
Lin Fan suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked cautiously, "Clan Leader, you, you're looking for me for something?"
"Nothing important. I just came out of seclusion today and walked around the city. I didn't expect to meet you here. How are the people doing? "Lin Xuan raised his cup and asked casually.
Lin Fan drank the wine in his cup and exhaled lightly, "Patriarch, you don't have to worry about them. Everything is fine with our clansmen. Now, they are all settled in the new district of the Southern City and have their own residence.
Just last year, seven children in the clan had become martial artists. Lin Hu's son is only nine years old this year and has also become a martial artist. That little guy is very strong and has an amazing appetite. He can eat a cow a day. He will definitely be stronger than his father in the future … "
Lin Fan gradually relaxed and began to talk about the changes in the Lin Clan.
Fifteen years ago, before Lin Xuan returned to Fish Dragon Town, the Lin Clan was just a mortal clan. They were exploited and bullied by various gangs and lived a precarious life.
After Lin Xuan returned to Fish Dragon Town, he led the Lin Clan into the ranks of martial arts clans. Later on, even after Lin Xuan left, the Lin Clan continued to improve and become stronger day by day.
The Lin Clan's true rise was in the recent five years. After Lin Xuan brought the Lin Clan to the Northern Barren Territory, all kinds of cultivation resources were given to the Lin Clan. This caused the Lin Clan's cultivation to increase tremendously and they gradually became a second-rate martial arts clan.
Unfortunately, the only one with true talent in the Lin Clan was Lin Fan. No matter how hard the others tried, it would be difficult for them to break through to the Divine Astral Realm, including Lin Hu.
In fact, Lin Xuan didn't have much feelings for the Lin Family. After all, he wasn't the real Lin Xuan.
The only people in the Lin Family that he could remember were Lin Fan and Lin Hu. As for the respected Third Great Uncle, he had passed away many years ago.
However, the gifts that the Lin Family had given him had benefited him greatly. Among them, the most precious was the Rhino's Horn.
This divine ability had allowed him to turn misfortunes into blessings and escape from death many times. It had also become his most hidden life-saving trump card.
Because of this, Lin Xuan gave the Lin Family all kinds of protection and care, which could be considered as a form of repayment.
"Are you used to the Divine Lotus Dao?" Lin Xuan asked casually.
Lin Fan's eyes flashed and he nodded. "The sect is clear about rewards and punishments, and the contribution statistics are detailed. There's nothing unfair about it. So, so I think it's pretty good."
Lin Xuan faintly smiled, knowing that this young man had a lot to say. "There is no need to hide anything from me. Just say what you want to say. Today, you can just treat me as the Clan Leader."
"This..."
Lin Fan looked at Lin Xuan, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Clan Leader, the Divine Lotus Dao's strength is improving day by day. Every aspect is improving by leaps and bounds, and the situation is good. But in my opinion, there are many hidden dangers. "
"Oh? Let's hear it. "Lin Xuan showed an interested expression.
Lin Fan cautiously said, "Clan leader, in my personal opinion, the Saint Lotus Path has already been divided into two distinct factions. Moreover, these two factions are like fire and water. If they are used by someone with ulterior motives, I'm afraid that it might cause internal strife."
Hearing this, Lin Xuan nodded and asked with a smile, "Is there anything else?"
The problem that Lin Fan mentioned had always existed in the Divine Lotus Dao.
The devout believers led by Chi Wufeng, and the normal disciples led by Yan Hui, Li Qiushui, and the others formed two factions.
This problem was temporarily unsolvable. Lin Xuan could only work together with the Lotus Demon to suppress it.
Because in the eyes of the devout believers, as long as they didn't believe in the Divine Lotus Goddess and Taiyi Saint King, they didn't have the right to live and should be burned alive. The stronger their belief, the stronger this thought was.
As for the normal disciples, they felt very wronged and angry. We're eating from the same pot, so why do you have to dislike me?
And so, the conflict between the two sides deepened, and it was difficult to reconcile.
In the past, the Divine Lotus Dao was surrounded by enemies. The Dragon Soul Hall, the Keelung Sect, the Imperial Dao Slaves, the Dragons clan, the sub- Dragons clan, and so on were all eyeing the Divine Lotus Dao covetously. These external pressures also suppressed the internal strife of the Divine Lotus Dao.
But now, the Divine Lotus Dao had entered the fast lane of development. The strong enemies around it couldn't even take care of themselves. Without external pressure, the internal strife intensified.
Actually, Lin Xuan had thought of a way to resolve these conflicts, and he wasn't very worried.
Because in the end, the believers' extreme exclusionary thoughts originated from the Lotus Demon, and from the Lotus Demon's wariness towards him.
Although Lin Xuan and Mo Yuhe had the Heavenly Oath of Alliance, Lin Xuan's growth was too fast, and Mo Yuhe couldn't show herself in public for some reason. She was probably worried that Lin Xuan would leave her alone, so she would come out from time to time to make her presence known.
Lin Xuan was well aware of this, and he could understand it. After all, he did have such thoughts before.
After thinking for a while, he continued, "Clan Leader, I feel that the current management of the Divine Lotus Dao is a little too simple.
This method might be suitable for those large and medium-sized sects with thousands or tens of thousands of disciples, but our Divine Lotus Dao has hundreds of millions of believers, tens of millions of martial artists, and millions of elites. It's inevitable that the current management method can't take care of some aspects.
Clan Leader, look, even within the jurisdiction of our Divine Lotus Dao, there are still mortals who freeze to death, starve to death, or get killed every day.
There's no law that can protect their lives, and no one cares about them. The only way for them to survive is to rely on some martial artist and become a slave. But even if they become a slave, it's hard for them to survive in the face of a ruthless master. "
As he spoke, he pointed at the dark corner of a street far away. There was a corpse of a young girl that no one cared about. The corpse was half naked, and the way she died was horrible.
Lin Fan had also experienced the life of a mortal where he couldn't guarantee his own safety. Even though he had become a powerful martial artist, he still felt pity for the mortals.
Lin Xuan nodded his head. What Lin Fan was talking about was the problem of the management system.
There was actually a law in the Divine Lotus Dao that stated that mortals were not to be killed. But due to the lack of supervision, this law was hard to enforce.
Of course, it was also because the Elder Pavilion had too many things to do, and their powers overlapped.
The law that protected mortals was hard to enforce, and this was only one of the many problems.
Now that the Divine Lotus Dao had expanded rapidly, many problems were gradually exposed, causing the operation of the Divine Lotus Dao to become inefficient and chaotic. The internal conflicts were getting bigger and bigger, and the internal friction was increasing.
In the end, the Divine Lotus Dao had grown in size, and a reform was necessary.
Otherwise, the Divine Lotus Dao might not even need the enemy to make a move.
Lin Fan's words were to remind Lin Xuan that the Divine Lotus Dao could change for the better, but it was also to express his personal thoughts and requests.
In Lin Fan's heart, he seemed to be leaning towards the role of an enforcer in the Divine Lotus Dao.
After a while, the two drank a pot of Iced Wine that tasted pretty good. Lin Xuan got up and left.
Lin Xuan walked on the street alone, and gradually walked out of Taiyi City, towards the mountains in the south of the city.
He didn't fly in the air, nor did he use his movement technique. He was like a leisurely traveler, riding on a horse. As he drank, he pondered in his mind, pondering about the future of the Path of the Divine Lotus.
According to the original plan of the Divine Lotus Dao, once it had developed to a certain extent, it would be divided into twelve sects.
However, in Lin Xuan's view, this model was not perfect, because in the future, it was very likely to lead to a situation where the tail would be too big to handle.
The Keelung Sect's Nine Palaces and the Six Paths of the Demon Abyss were examples of this.
Moreover, even if this path was taken, it would not solve the problem of mortals.
Therefore, Lin Xuan planned to combine what he had seen and heard in both his previous and current lives to create a path that was most suitable for the development of the Divine Lotus Dao, so that the Divine Lotus Dao could truly unite the righteousness of the Human Race, and advance towards the level of a Sacred Ground.
The mountains in the south had many peaks, and originally did not have a unified name.
But now, they had a unified name — Taiyi Holy Mountain.
Taiyi Holy Mountain was divided into a main peak and eighty-six secondary peaks, occupying a radius of six hundred miles.
The main peak was more than nine thousand meters tall, steep and strange. It emitted a faint restrictive light, like a celestial mountain.
On the top of the mountain, there were already majestic and solemn palaces erected, like celestial palaces, magnificent and grand, highlighting the mystery and nobility.
Among them, the most eye-catching was a giant bronze tower standing in the middle, the Dragon Lock Tower.
The Dragon Lock Tower stood tall, and the vast divine power of a supreme grade Dao weapon spread between heaven and earth, so that everyone could feel its existence. The people of the Divine Lotus Dao felt at ease and proud, while the outsiders were in awe and fear.
In addition, on one side of the Holy Mountain, there were two giant Dharma Appearances that were particularly eye-catching.
Those were Lin Xuan and Mo Yuhe's Dharma Appearance Golden Bodies, emitting a faint golden radiance, like gods descending to the world.
At the foot of the Holy Mountain, countless devout followers came and went, worshipping and praying under the Dharma Appearances Golden Bodies.
Lin Xuan looked at the scene in front of him, and a faint smile appeared on his face, his eyes inexplicable.
Whoosh!
A group of tyrannical figures descended from the sky, and knelt on one knee in front of Lin Xuan. "Welcome back, Sect Master!"
"Rise."
Lin Xuan nodded slightly, and ordered a young divine guard in the lead, "Shen Lang, go back and inform all those above the Heavenly Transformation Stage to come to the main hall for a meeting! Also, those who are out on missions, as long as the mission is not too urgent, ask them to come back. "
"Yes, Sect Master!"
