Cultivation

Gu Jinlai, people have become adept at quickly eliminating local forces.

As the overlord of the Storm Plains, the Creation Gate governs four kingdoms, thousands of cities of varying sizes, and a total population of nearly 300 million.

However, whether it is Qian Tian or Sheng Chao, their numbers of people and the extent of their territory far exceed those of the Creation Gate.

He said that he would clean up the atmosphere of the Creation Sect in one month, and that was no empty talk.

At this moment, in a mountain forest north of Storm Plains, Gu Jinlai rode in a large palace pulled by six large flying birds, traveling above the mountains.

Below, disciples of the Primordial Spirit wielded their swords, fighting and traversing the mountains and forests, slaughtering a major sect hidden within.

This sect is called Qianye Sect. It was established by the Ye family and is a force that specializes in dirty and shady work.

In the internal struggles of the Creation Sect, sometimes True Disciple, even protectors and elders who hindered the growth of their Ye lineage disciples would suddenly have accidents or disappear. This was because the people of the Thousand Leaf Sect secretly killed them.

Through layers of investigation, and with Ye Qingzhu, the leader of the Ye faction, seeing through the true colors of others and, under Ye Bingyu's persuasion, stepping forward to atone for his sins, the scene of Gu Jinlai personally leading the team to wipe out the Qianye Sect came to be.

Among the Thousand Leaves Sect is one Immortal of Emptiness, and hundreds of Mahayana Saints and Returning to Emptiness Celestial Person.

However, they were insignificant compared to the Creation Sect, which had mobilized a large number of people.

That illusory immortal was instantly killed by the thunder summoned by Gu Jinlai in a single encounter.

Immediately Gu Jinlai, without sparing any of the energy within his body, thunderclouds filled the sky, and countless Void Returning Celestial Person and Mahayana Saints perished under the bombardment of thunder.

Fortunately, some Mahayana saints and Void Returning Celestial Person survived the thundercloud storm, but they were quickly defeated by the battle formation composed of the guardians and True Disciple of the Creation Gate.

The war is now coming to an end.

The Primordial Spirit cultivators, Void Returning Celestial Person, and Mahayana Saints within the Thousand Leaf Sect lost their will to resist and fled in all directions at an extremely fast speed.

However, the Primordial Spirit in the Creation Gate all ride on dragon-blooded horses. Even if those returning to the Celestial Person and Mahayana saints flee for their lives, how can two legs outrun four legs?

Furthermore, with the Gu Jinlai personally suppressing them from the sky, the true essence of the experts from the Thousand Leaf Sect who had experienced the great battle was almost depleted. Relying solely on flying, they could not outlast those on horseback.

Soon, these Void Returning Celestial Person and Mahayana Saints were caught up by the Primordial Spirit cultivators of the Creation Sect on horseback, surrounded and killed.

"Reporting to the sect leader, all members of the Thousand Leaf Sect have been wiped out."

Yu Xu arrived on his sword and bowed to Gu Jinlai to report.

"Next goal."

Gu Jinlai nodded.

"There is no Void Immortal in charge of the next city, so why should you, Sect Leader, take action personally? It is more than enough for us elders to handle it."

Yu Xu said.

"Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. Although I am purging the sect, we have also discovered many spies from other forces during this time. The people behind these spies may be hiding somewhere. Therefore, I am personally accompanying them to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

Gu Jinlai waved his hand and said, "No need to say more, let's go."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xu felt a surge of emotion.

Their sect leader is truly decisive and efficient. After spending a month purging the forces within the Creation Sect, he still hasn't stopped. He has clearly turned his attention to the kingdoms and cities within the Creation Sect's territory.

Along the way, he has already cleared out dozens of cities, and all the heinous criminals have been dealt with on the spot.

This includes a group of royal family members from kingdoms under the jurisdiction of the Creation Gate.

Moreover, he is extremely efficient.

Often, upon arriving in a city, they would not conduct any investigations and would directly and ruthlessly kill some of the ringleaders, which at first glance appeared to be an indiscriminate killing of innocent people.

However, their subsequent investigation revealed that those killed by the sect leader were all heinous criminals, and none of them were innocent.

This situation made Elders like Yu Xu feel a chill in their hearts, and at the same time, they speculated that the sect leader most likely controlled an extremely powerful intelligence agency. It was because of the existence of this intelligence agency that he was able to obtain evidence of these people's crimes at the first opportunity and deal with them directly after arriving in these cities.

The existence of this organization not only earned the respect of the elders of the Creation Sect, but also made them more cautious in their daily words and actions.

In addition, the sect leader's righteous and incorruptible style of doing things...

This also led them to restrain their own descendants.

The current order of the entire Creation Sect is completely different from what it used to be.

Four months later, Gu Jinlai completed his sweep of the four kingdoms and thousands of cities within the entire territory of the Creation Gate.

The reason why it took more than 49 years to wipe out the Holy Dynasty despite having fewer than 300 million people is ultimately because the people of the Creation Sect were too scattered.

Unfortunately, large urban settlements in the Xuanxian Realm usually only appear around Spirit Vein. For example, the area around the Creation Gate has tens of millions of people.

Unfortunately, the Spirit Vein in the Xuanxian Realm are too few to supply enough for many people to cultivate.

In this situation, lands without Spirit Vein are naturally worthless.

If it weren't for the fact that only a large population base can nurture enough Spirit Root cultivators, the Creation Sect would only be willing to guard the area within a radius of ten thousand miles centered on the Creation Sect.

This is also why they are willing to relinquish control of these cities to some countries.

However, these cities, which seem to have little value to the gates of creation, have never been overlooked Gu Jinlai.

One by one, the past was eradicated.

Even if those cities don't have any Void Returning Celestial Person or even Primordial Spirit cultivators, and the strongest might be some Core Formation or Innate Martial Artists, they still kill people without hesitation Gu Jinlai.

However, it was precisely because of these trivial cities that the cleanup operation was delayed by four months.

Including the month spent purging the Creation Sect, Gu Jinlai has been acting as the leader of the Creation Sect for five months Gu Jinlai.

After resolving all matters, large and small, within the territory of the Creation Gate, Gu Jinlai returned to the Creation Gate.

As his flying palace swept over the Gate of Creation, cheers erupted from the disciples below.

"Sect Leader! The Sect Leader is back!"

"I heard that the sect leader's recent trip was to cleanse the customs of the various countries within our Creation Sect's territory!? That's wonderful!"

"In my hometown, there are countless corrupt officials. I don't know how many people have been ruined and destroyed by them. I used to think that after I achieved some success in my cultivation, I would go back and kill the officials and start a rebellion. Even if I died in the end, as long as I killed enough corrupt officials, it would be enough to deter other officials and make them not dare to be so unscrupulous in their corruption."

"I've found it unbelievable these past few months. When did the disciples start receiving their full supply of cultivation pills? And those senior brothers and sisters from the Ye family are no longer coming to collect protection fees. We ordinary disciples can even get some cultivation springs now?"

"That's right! I only found out a few months ago that our Creation Sect 'Primordial Spirit True Disciple can actually receive a Spirit Artifact for free!? All of this is a change brought about by Sect Leader Yu Feng taking over! I really hope that the Creation Sect can continue like this forever."

Various discussions continued to circulate among the disciples.

In just a few months, the changes brought about by the purge within the Creation Gate, a movement Gu Jinlai, have begun to take effect.

Without the elders needing to promote it, the ambitious disciples and protectors spontaneously began to support Gu Jinlai.

As for those who were originally incompetent and those who benefited from their elders and occupied the best positions despite having no ability or accomplishment, they were all thoroughly investigated.

Many who abused their power to oppress others were executed on the spot.

In this situation, even if they wanted to Curse the acting sect leader from Gu Jinlai, they had nowhere to voice their grievances.

"When a place is filled with light, darkness will have nowhere to hide, but when a place is completely shrouded in darkness, those who ignite the light will be persecuted to death as outsiders."

In the main hall, Gu Jinlai looked at the Void Immortal Elders below and spoke slowly.

The elders nodded in agreement.

Compared to the previous meeting with 34 elders, this time there are only 29 elders left.

This does not mean that only five elders were punished.

In fact, in the first month, as many as twelve elders Gu Jinlai, were personally judged and executed.

Each of the twelve illusory immortals is a pillar of the sect.

But Gu Jinlai, they have never hesitated to kill.

The reason why there are still twenty-nine Void Immortal Elders present is that one by one the elders who were in seclusion have emerged from their seclusion, finally restoring some liveliness to the main hall, which should have become deserted.

"The sect has been thoroughly cleaned up, but if we want the sect to rise again, it is far from enough to simply eliminate the corrupt and lawless people within the sect. The sect must have new development and systems."

Gu Jinlai calmly said, "I plan to hold a sect competition a year from now. This competition will be led by the elders! The competition will be divided into three levels: Primordial Spirit cultivators, Void Returning Celestial Person, and Mahayana Saints. Each level will be divided into two groups: the youth group and the adult group. The adult group is self-explanatory. The youth group refers to cultivators under the age of forty, sixty, and one hundred. Anyone who wins in the competition will receive a generous reward."

He paused, then continued, "Besides pills, the winners of the Primordial Spirit stage will be bestowed with Spirit Artifact! The winners of the Returning to Void Celestial Person will be bestowed with a thousand sets of top-grade materials for forging a sacred body, while the Mahayana Saints will be directly bestowed with Dao artifacts!"

These words caused an uproar among the elders present.

"A Dao artifact!? To bestow a Dao artifact upon Mahayana protector!? This... this is far too extravagant, isn't it?"

"A thousand top-tier materials?! My goodness! That's worth just as much as a Dao artifact!"

"May I ask, Sect Leader, how many spots are there for the winners?"

One by one, the elders spoke up.

The winner of the Mahayana will obtain a Dao artifact!

This was too tempting for most of the elders who only had one Dao artifact.

"The number of winners is not fixed and will not be too strict. The main goal is to select a group of disciples who are worth nurturing."

Gu Jinlai, he looked at the elders in the arena again. "As I said, this operation is led by you elders. In other words, you elders can cultivate Mahayana, Void Return, and Primordial Spirit cultivators and bring them into your ranks. Each person in your ranks who wins will receive one, three, or ten Dao points, depending on their level."

As he spoke, he smiled slightly, "In this competition, the five elders with the best results will not only receive top-quality materials from the sect to forge their immortal bodies, but the sect will also activate the Creation Heavenly Dao ten, five, three, two, and one time for you, helping you to condense your Dao Fruit and reach the peak of True Immortal!"

"They'll provide materials for forging immortal bodies!? And they'll even go out of their way to activate the Heavenly Dao for us, helping us achieve perfect enlightenment and condense the Dao Fruit!?"

Upon hearing this, the elders couldn't help but widen their eyes. "Sect Leader, is this really true?!"

"The top five elders need to activate the Heavenly Dao eighteen times?! Nearly 100,000 kinds of top-tier materials, does the cave have so much spiritual energy and resources?"

"Of course."

Gu Jinlai responded with a smile, "Therefore, you all have a year to select and train the disciples you have chosen. This process cannot be forced. Elders can choose disciples, and disciples can also choose elders."

After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Elders, please go now. I look forward to seeing the outstanding performance of your chosen disciples a year from now."
