The Sacred Ascension Ceremony!
The Vast Heaven Sect has always had its own unique units of measurement.
For example, a few melons and dates, or a date orchard...
Now, the Vast Heaven Sect has a completely new unit of measurement... a Haotian Mountain Range...
The entire Vast Heaven Divine Domain was forged from the legendary Chaos Spirit Stones.
Chu Xinghe n't know what Chaos Spirit Stones were... but he did know that this thing must be hermaphroditic, otherwise how could it produce renewable resources like it was giving birth?
Misfortune Compass... I thought you'd done something decent this time, but it turns out you haven't done a single decent thing!
We don't know how many resources this sect had before, but now... it's as much as the entire Haotian Mountain Range...
The Civil Engineering Department disciples were already exhausted from crying... Looking at the glittering Nine-Colored Spirit Stone, Civil Engineering Department couldn't find the right words to describe their feelings at that moment.
It had to be the Grand Elder; he had clearly noticed the sorrow of the Civil Engineering Department disciples.
The Grand Elder found Huang Ritian, who was on the verge of death after being rescued by Nangong Yan of the Everlasting Spring Palace, immediately.
"Little Huang... don't be sad. Although your Senior Brother Xinghe accidentally brought back so many resources for the sect, it will take some time to mine them, so there's no need for you to be so upset..."
As soon as the Grand Elder finished speaking, a glint of light suddenly appeared in the eyes of Huang Ritian and many other disciples of the Civil Engineering Department!
The Grand Elder is absolutely right!
There are plenty of these resources, but they are currently unexploited. So, under normal circumstances, shouldn't we take a holiday before these resources are extracted?
In an instant, many of the disciples of the Vast Heaven Sect's Earth and Civil Engineering Departments roared like madmen.
"We don't have to build the treasure vault anymore?" Huang Ritian was also excited... It's a holiday! Finally, we can have a holiday!
Seeing Huang Ritian's excitement, the Grand Elder smiled broadly and said, "Of course... You don't need to build a new treasure vault until the miners have dug out these resources and filled the existing one!"
Upon receiving the Grand Elder's affirmative reply, Huang Ritian's eyes welled up with tears...
"Thank you, Chief..."
"The treasure vault is sufficient for the time being, and I know that the disciples of the Civil Engineering Department have it tough. So, I'll give you a break during this period and stop building the treasure vault... Coincidentally, there aren't any buildings in the Vast Heaven Divine Domain yet, so you can come here and build them during this time!"
Huang Ritian: "???"
All the Civil Engineering Department students present. "???"
The students from the Civil Engineering Department were completely dumbfounded...
No... Elder... you call this a "brain workout"?
We're not building the treasure vault anymore... We're going to build structures here in the Vast Heaven Divine Domain?
This is even more painful than building a treasure vault... Elder... are you trying to give us a brain transplant?!
What we want is a holiday... a holiday!
Faced with a group of bewildered Civil Engineering Department students, it had to be Ma Liang... Ma Liang quickly stepped forward to offer some advice.
"Junior Brother Huang... you have to know how to be content... You Civil Engineering Department students are miserable, but look at the mining students... they're the ones who truly have no will to live, okay..."
Following the direction Ma Liang pointed, the Civil Engineering Department students saw a group of mining students standing there like statues...
In the past... the miners of the Vast Heaven Sect suffered greatly, not only in terms of hardship but also in terms of hopelessness.
For miners, the ultimate dream might be to one day enter the outer sect of the Vast Heaven Sect, or even just become an outer sect disciple.
However, with Senior Brother Xinghe drastically improving the treatment of miner disciples, although they are now a bit overworked, they truly have hope.
Every year, miner disciples are admitted to the inner sect because they are outstanding enough. It can be said that taking the path of miner disciples is the biggest shortcut besides the regular disciple recruitment of the Vast Heaven Sect.
This also makes recruiting miner disciples for the Vast Heaven Sect more difficult than the core disciple assessments of many other major sects.
It is precisely because of the unique nature of the Vast Heaven Sect's miner disciples that you will realize once you take a look that the Vast Heaven Sect's miner disciple lineup is stronger than the core disciple lineup of many major sects.
Countless powerful families, having no other choice, had to rely on connections and back channels to send their children to the Vast Heaven Sect as miner disciples, hoping they could gradually rise through the ranks and Future become true disciples of the Vast Heaven Sect.
After all, the treatment of the miners' disciples in the Vast Heaven Sect was in no way inferior to that of the inner disciples of the Ten Great Sects.
Therefore, the miners' apprentices also worked very hard... No matter how bitter or tiring it was, as long as there was hope, it was good.
But things started to go wrong from the moment the Spirit Beast Continent's mines began...
In the past, miner disciples worked twelve hours a day, and working four or five hours was considered a lot, after all, the system set by Senior Brother Xinghe was there for all to see.
However, as sects were acquiring mineral veins from the Spirit Beast Continent, the amount of spirit ore in each sect doubled, doubled, and doubled again...
Although the sect did not force the miner disciples to work overtime.
But the miners' apprentices themselves were too embarrassed...
With so many mineral veins right there, and everyone enjoying the sect's resources and Senior Brother Xinghe's favor, we're all just resting there. How can we face Senior Brother Xinghe like this?
Besides, we can cultivate our skills while mining!
Therefore, the miners' apprentices themselves kept extending their working hours...
But as the miner disciples were adding to their ranks, they discovered that Senior Brother Xinghe had personally gone to the Spirit Beast Continent... Good heavens... accompanied by Senior Brother Xinghe's unexplained attack.
The sect has increased the number of mines far more than the number of overtime hours the mining disciples have worked!
Seeing the massive mines that Senior Brother Xinghe had bought up without a second thought, the mining disciples burst into tears.
Disciples from other sects were excitedly shouting when they heard that their sect had acquired a new mineral vein, while the mining disciples of the Vast Heaven Sect were anxiously shouting when they heard that Senior Brother Xinghe had bought another large mine...
Many of the mining disciples exclaimed, "Senior Brother Xinghe, what are you doing...? You're not planning to take over all the mines in the entire Spirit Beast Continent, are you...?"
Fortunately, in the end, Senior Brother Xinghe only purchased one-third of the large mine in the Spirit Beast Continent before leaving.
Whether Heaven would bless Vast Heaven at that moment was unknown... but the miners' disciples felt that Heaven had finally blessed them this once...
Then began the miners' apprentices' miserable life.
In the past, the miners, having heard that the Civil Engineering Department students in the inner sect lived a life without annual leave or rest, would Civil Engineering Department laugh at them.
Now, the mining students are realizing... why do we look even worse off than our Civil Engineering Department seniors?
Now, looking at the Nine-Colored Spirit Stones of the Haotian Mountain Range, the many mining disciples were already bewildered...
Although there are many mineral veins in the Spirit Beast Continent... the mineral veins in the Spirit Beast Continent are there and can't be moved. The mining disciples can control how fast or slow they dig and their rest time.
In other words, it wouldn't be a problem even if I really planned to take annual leave, but that's not possible now.
The Nine-Colored Spirit Stones in the Vast Heaven Divine Domain are refreshed every ten years or so. If the mining speed cannot keep up with the refresh speed, then it means that those that have not been mined in time will be wasted...
Therefore, the mining disciples had to work overtime to mine within the Vast Heaven Divine Domain.
Although the Spiritual Qi energy here is countless times denser than outside... the problem is, the workload here is also countless times greater than outside...
Whether the senior students in the Civil Engineering Department want to die or not, the miners don't know, but the miners do know... This is just unbearable for us miners...
Over a decade and a half of the Haotian Mountain Range has been excavated... and they still expect annual leave... they can forget about even getting a holiday...
The mining students and the Civil Engineering Department students looked at each other, and in that moment they saw the same tragic fate in each other's eyes...
From this moment on, the Civil Engineering Department disciples knew they were no longer the only ones suffering... From now on, our sect would have another group of heartbroken people just like the Civil Engineering Department disciples...
Gu Mingchao led numerous powerful figures on a tour of the entire Vast Heaven Divine Domain, where countless Nine-Colored Spirit Stones had already made the eyes of these powerful figures bleed.
From this moment on, the Vast Heaven Sect finally took that most important step, becoming a unique holy land in the world!
This is a momentous event worthy of being recorded in the annals of the Three Continents. According to the rules, the Vast Heaven Sect must also hold a Holy Ascension Ceremony!
After the Holy Ascension Ceremony concludes, the Vast Heaven Sect will officially become the Vast Heaven Holy Land!
Ten days later will be an auspicious day, which will also be the day of the Vast Heaven Sect's Holy Ascension Ceremony.
This Holy Ascension Ceremony is not so simple. Elder He and the Great Sage, who both claimed to know a little about the ceremony, personally designed the entire procedure for the ceremony.
The entire ceremony begins with paying homage to the sages of the Three Continents, followed by a separate homage to the ancestors of the Vast Heaven Sect, and then receiving congratulations and pilgrimages from all corners of the world.
Entrusting the entire process to Elder He and the Great Sage will certainly ensure there are no problems...
This time, the Vast Heaven Sect no longer needs to send invitations to all parties. In the past, when the Vast Heaven Sect held various grand ceremonies, it was customary to send invitations to all parties to attend.
But this time is different from the past. The Vast Heaven Sect is holding Holy Ascension Ceremony, and only people from all over the world come to pay homage. There is no such thing as the Vast Heaven Sect inviting people from all over the world.
Of course, if you feel that the Vast Heaven Sect is not worthy of being called the Vast Heaven Holy Land, nor worthy of your pilgrimage, you are free not to come; there is no obligation to do so.
No invitation was needed from the Vast Heaven Sect; the news of the Vast Heaven Sect Vast Heaven Limitless Realm's birth had already spread throughout the world. Although the big shots from all sides were still in the Vast Heaven Sect, they still had to return to their respective families to make serious preparations for the Haotian Sect's Holy Ascension Ceremony Vast Heaven Sect in ten days.
After all, from now on we belong to the sacred Vast Heaven Sect. If you don't take this seriously, then you might as well say you have some kind of problem with the Vast Heaven Sect.
What? You look down on the Vast Heaven Sect?
Upon hearing about the Holy Ascension Ceremony, Chu Xinghe's first thought was... should he prepare a small gift for each family?
But Chu Xinghe quickly dismissed this idea...
The lesson from last time is still fresh in my mind. No matter how well you prepare these little gifts, you can't withstand the barrage of gifts in return from everyone else...
So we can't prepare any small gifts this time!
However, it doesn't matter if we can't prepare small gifts. This Holy Ascension Ceremony will encompass all forces, good and evil, from all sides of the world. Our Vast Heaven Sect is truly fucking rich this time... Since that's the case, then I, Chu Xinghe, will stop pretending. I must use up a lot of sect resources to recover Holy Ascension Ceremony!
