With the addition of the Ziwei Star Lord to the Western Teachings, the Western Teachings's Fortune has indeed grown considerably.
After Jieyin and Zhunti had arranged some follow-up matters, they kept Jiang Yun behind to discuss some things. Afterwards, Jiang Yun found several of his Personal Disciples to discuss the construction of the Star Academy.
The Star Academy was ultimately established to house numerous Stellar God, who could also continue to interact with the stars in the Starry Sky through cooperation with the Demon Clan race, facilitating their cultivation.
Moreover, appointing the Ziwei Star Lord as the Head of the Star Academy is a sign of respect from the Western Teachings. This is different from the Lecture Hall and the Aid Hall. One is a formal institution within the religion, certified by the Two Religious Leaders, while the other is a self-organized association among the disciples for mutual assistance and is not an official institution.
The most important difference between the two is actually the issue of official certification. Certified institutions can enjoy the added benefits of the sect's Fortune, while uncertified institutions cannot.
He only made some plans for the construction of the Lecture Hall and the Aid Hall at the beginning. The subsequent implementation was actually carried out by the Yaoshi, Ksitigarbha, and Maitreya. After it got on the right track, other Inner Disciples were gradually brought in to take turns managing it.
Now that Gongming and Yunxiao have joined, and with the construction of the Star Academy underway, we'll have them take the lead this time, with the others assisting them, giving them a good opportunity to hone their skills.
Several people gathered in the Main Hall of the Lecture Hall. Jiang Yun brought out some Spiritual Fruit and Spiritual Tea, and the group ate, drank, and chatted.
"You all know about the task the teacher assigned this time."
The purpose of establishing the Star Academy was to settle the Stellar God, who were newcomers and needed a place to stay.
As for the role that the Star Academy will play in the future, that is not of much concern to us for the time being, and we don't need to worry about these issues.
The primary task at present is to select an area within the mountain gate as the residence of the Star Academy, then choose a Main Peak within it to build the Star Palace, and finally select a location to use the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Star Formation to Jieyin Starlight Spiritual Energy, creating a Sea of Stars to facilitate the cultivation of the Stellar Gods.
Jiang Yun paused here, took a sip of Spiritual Tea, and continued:
"Gongming and Yunxiao haven't been in the sect for long, so this mission will be entrusted to the Two you! It's a good opportunity for you to familiarize yourselves with some of the sect's affairs and management, and you'll also need to devote some energy to studying those Formations, as these will be frequently used when you go out to handle matters in the future."
Seeing that Jiang Yun had assigned the task to the two novices, the two were taken aback for a moment, then agreed in unison:
"Yes, Senior Brother, we will definitely do our best to handle this matter."
Seeing this, Jiang Yun waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's nothing serious, make yourselves at home."
Your three senior brothers, Yaoshi, Ksitigarbha, Maitreya, oversaw the establishment of the Lecture Hall and the Aid Hall. They have extensive experience in this area. If you encounter any problems, consult them."
"Yes, if either of you encounter any problems, you can come and ask me for advice." The Yaoshi immediately agreed, showing he was happy to help his fellow disciples.
Ksitigarbha and Maitreya quickly echoed, "Brother is right, don't be shy about anything."
Thank you, fellow disciples!
Seeing that they had finished talking, Jiang Yun waved his hand:
"Having discussed this minor matter, let's now move on to the major one."
After our teacher and senior colleague gathered us last time to arrange some things for the future, I also discussed a few other matters with them, one of which was the establishment of the Engineering Institute.
"The Engineering Institute?" The others were puzzled when they heard this term.
"The term 'Engineering Institute' refers to systematic and technical construction projects, while 'Academy' refers to an organizational structure. Therefore, the Engineering Institute is, as the name suggests, a specialized institution within our Western Teachings responsible for the planning and implementation of large-scale architectural projects."
Before you joined the church, I proposed the "Eight-One Plan" to the two teachers, and you should know the purpose of it.
My Dao Field Spirit Bamboo Mountain, served as a pilot site for the implementation of the plan. In order to build the Spirit Bamboo Mountain Spirit Land, I established a Management Organization there, called the Office, which means an organization to handle related matters.
Now that the Star Academy is about to be established, the ownership of the Office needs to be determined first, otherwise it will be difficult to divide the responsibilities and powers later.
Therefore, after discussions with my two mentors, we decided to establish the Engineering Institute and incorporate the Office Engineering Institute it as a subordinate institution.
In the future, each of you may be sent to Various Parts of the Western Region to establish Spirit Land Node. The Office you establish in these Spirit Land will all be under the jurisdiction of the Engineering Institute.
Regarding issues such as starlight Jieyin within these Spirit Land Node, the Star Academy can participate collaboratively, but the Engineering Institute will maintain the leading role.
Jiang Yun paused here to let them digest the information.
"What you mean, Senior Brother, is that the purpose of establishing the Engineering Institute is to take control of the core affairs of the sect into our own hands?" Zhao Gongming said after a moment of contemplation.
The others also looked at Jiang Yun.
Seeing that everyone understood his meaning, Jiang Yun smiled and nodded:
"Good.
All affairs within the sect are under the control of the teachers. With the Two them stationed in the mountains, there will be no problems.
As for matters outside the church, the most important thing now is the Spirit Land Construction. This is also the means by which we in the Western Teachings achieve our goal of building the church, and it is also the best way for us to obtain Merit and Fortune.
Having taken control of these matters, we can later use these Spirit Land Construction projects to win over the Stellar Gods and accelerate their integration into the sect, which will bring many benefits.
The dean of the Engineering Institute is temporarily being held by Zhunti. However, Uncle-Master and Teacher are the pillars of our Western Region. They need to focus on their cultivation and cannot be distracted by these trivial matters. This is also to ensure that our high-end combat power does not lag behind others.
Therefore, it's me, your Senior Brother, who's in charge of the daily affairs of the Engineering Institute. My senior uncle suggested that I serve as the Deputy Dean, in charge of the Spirit Land Construction."
"Haha, congratulations, Senior Brother!"
"Senior Brother is truly deserving! It was you who proposed these things in the first place, so it's best if you take charge now."
"Spirit Land Construction is tough, but it's a good job!"
"Alright, you all understand what the Spirit Land Construction means. Seize the time to cultivate and improve your cultivation level as soon as possible, so that I can arrange for you to take charge of a region."
Originally, many of you had already reached the Golden Immortal Realm, so I proposed to fully launch the plan. However, plans can't keep up with changes. The great war between the Demon Clan and the Ziwei Lineage has caused the implementation of the plan to be postponed.
However, now that the two sides have successfully reached an agreement and the matter of Jieyin the Star Power has been settled, the plan should be restarted soon once the Ziwei Star Lord arrives."Jiang Yun carefully instructed them.
