Birth of a Holy Land
Ying Tianzong's actions naturally caused an uproar.
Although Gu Xuan had returned in a domineering manner and killed all the martial artists from the Void Sect and the Fallen Ying Sect who had invaded the Responding Heaven Sect, it had caused a huge commotion.
However, Gu Xuan's strength actually did not reveal much.
In fact, the great majority of the people were guessing as to where Gu Xuan had gone to during the period of time he had disappeared. They were all guessing that he had gone to treat his injuries.
As for whether Gu Xuan had gone to the Heaven Burial Deathland or not, the conclusion was the same: absolutely not!
Because when the Heaven Burial Deathland closed, Gu Xuan was still fighting with people in the Flying Saber Sect.
All the way until now, what Gu Xuan truly made people attach importance to was still his title as the number one Alchemy Emperor throughout the ages, and not his strength.
After all, no matter how strong he was, in everyone's eyes, he was not stronger than the Emptiness Sect and Luoying Sect's Great Emperors.
Although the Flying Saber Sect's great emperor was killed by Gu Xuan, this kind of battle achievement was completely established on the foundation that Gu Xuan had just advanced to Alchemy Emperor and received Heavenly Dao's favor.
It was no exaggeration to say that this was a miracle.
No one believed that Gu Xuan could repeat this miracle a second time.
Not only that, but even in the inner circle of Ying Tian Sect, including Elder Zi, Mo Jingyun, and the other staunch supporters of Gu Xuan, when Gu Xuan said that if the two sects did not give an explanation within ten days, he would make them disappear from the world, it was just something he said in a fit of anger.
Making two powerful sects with Great Emperor Realm martial artists disappear was something no one could do except for the top two sects in the two regions.
Therefore, the matter of the Ying Tian Sect recruiting disciples was a joke in the eyes of most forces.
The rallying power of Gu Xuan's number one Alchemy Emperor in all of history naturally did not need to be questioned. As long as he issued a call, countless martial artists and alchemists would flock over.
As long as Gu Xuan was willing, he could even attract Great Emperor Realm cultivators.
Of course, this was only to attract them. They would not join the Ying Tian Sect.
Furthermore, that required time. But right now, what the Ying Tianzong lacked the most was time.
Five of the ten days had passed.
In these five days, the Empty Void Sect and the Luoying Sect didn't do anything on the surface, but everyone knew that as the eighth and ninth ranked sects in the two regions, it was impossible for them to swallow their anger.
One had to know that both Jin Guang and Lu Yingjie were geniuses of the two sects. They were candidates for the future Sect Leader position.
Since Gu Xuan had killed these two people, there was no room for negotiation between the two sides. The people of the two sects would naturally retaliate.
They would never allow Ying Tian Sect to grow stronger.
The next five days could be said to be the eve of a storm.
Yingtian Sect choosing to recruit disciples at this time was no different from a fool's dream.
Before the Echo Heaven Sect's future was clear, even the many idle alchemists and Martial Emperors who wanted to rely on Gu Xuan chose to wait and see.
Moreover, the vast majority of people believed that after five days, the Ying Tian Sect would suffer a true calamity.
At the same time, Kong Kong Sect and Luoying Sect would spare no effort to kill Gu Xuan.
However, while the Ying Heaven Sect might be destroyed, Gu Xuan would definitely not die.
Right now, only the Kong Kong Sect and the Luoying Sect had enmity with Gu Xuan. The number of people who wanted Gu Xuan dead was definitely more than the number of people who wanted Gu Xuan alive.
Undercurrents were already surging in unseen places. Even some ancient secluded clans and powers had awakened their ancestors who had been in hibernation for who knew how long, ready to make a move at any time.
Many Grade Seven and Grade Eight Alchemists were secretly organizing people to gather in the southeastern region.
The Ying Tian Sect could be destroyed, but Gu Xuan could not die!
Because these undercurrents were surging in unseen places, the entire southeastern region seemed calm on the surface.
Needless to say, the progress of the Ying Tian Sect's recruitment was very slow.
After an entire day, only about a hundred people joined. Most of them were cultivators who were about to reach the limit of their lifespans or had encountered a bottleneck in their cultivation.
It was rare to get a few normal disciples, but they were only Spirit Grade. Who knew how long it would take to nurture them?
However, the Ying Tian Sect did not care about this.
As long as they passed the background check and were confirmed to have no ulterior motives or were spies sent by other powers, regardless of their talent or how long their lifespans were, they would be accepted as core disciples by Elder Zi with a wave of his pen!
Elder Zi was also very helpless. There was no other way. They were so short of people.
Of course, appointing them as core disciples was not just because they were short of people. These people knew that the Ying Tian Sect was about to face a great calamity, but they still chose to join. Although there was no lack of gambling, they were still optimistic about the Ying Tian Sect and were willing to be loyal to it.
For such new disciples, preferential treatment was indispensable.
However, what the Ying Tian Sect did not expect was that on the second day of the recruitment, a large number of new disciples flocked to it.
Moreover, there were many alchemists among these people.
Just as Elder Zi, Mo Jingyun, and the others were puzzled, a few figures flew over from the horizon and resolved all their doubts.
A voice like a large bell resounded through the sky.
"The Alchemist Association's Vice President, Gongsun Shan Yang, has led everyone from the Alchemist Association to pay respects to President Gu Xuan!"
As his voice fell, more figures flew over from the horizon. They held up a large flag with the Alchemist Association's symbol on it — an alchemy furnace with the word "Gu" engraved on it.
Below, the cultivators who were preparing to join the Ying Tian Sect all bowed to the Alchemist Association's masters.
Obviously, these people below were summoned by the alchemists of the Alchemist Association.
Many of them were even disciples of the alchemists in the sky.
Elder Zi personally tested them. After confirming their backgrounds, he added them to the list of core disciples.
It was very easy to become a core disciple of the Ying Tian Sect in these few days. Once the Ying Tian Sect survived this crisis, those who wanted to join the Ying Tian Sect could only become outer sect disciples.
At that time, even if they wanted to become inner sect disciples, they would have to go through a strict examination.
Gongsun Shan Yang finally got his wish to meet Gu Xuan. He was very excited.
When Gu Xuan became an Alchemy Emperor, he was present and received great benefits. He also received Gu Xuan's approval to follow him.
After that, even when he saw Gu Xuan go missing with his own eyes and thought that Gu Xuan was dead, he did not regret it.
The Alchemist Association was founded by him.
Other than building a safe haven for the alchemists, there was another purpose, which was to protect Gu Xuan's Ying Tian Sect.
With the protection of the Alchemist Association, even the Void Sect and the Luoying Sect did not dare to directly attack the Ying Tian Sect.
However, the two sects paid a huge price to trick the upper echelons of the Alchemist Association. Only then did they dare to attack the Ying Tian Sect!
There was no other way. The power of alchemists was too great, especially Gongsun Shan Yang. He was an Eighth Grade Alchemist and the number one alchemist in the Southern Desert Region. Even Emperor level powerhouses had to look up to him. He owed a lot of favors.
If the Void Sect and the Luoying Sect dared to attack him, they would have to wait for the countless people who owed Gongsun Shan Yang a favor to avenge him.
However, even though Gongsun Shan Yang was so powerful, he still trembled in fear in front of Gu Xuan. It was as if he was a junior meeting an elder.
Gongsun Shan Yang's arrival made Gu Xuan very happy.
He suddenly had an idea.
It was because of this idea that in the near future, the entire Southeast Region would become an existence comparable to a Holy Land in the entire Burning Sky Continent.
Gu Xuan looked at Gongsun Shan Yang and the corners of his mouth curled up.
