I'm Waiting for You at Qingwang Sect

"Very good, very energetic."

Lu Bai nodded in satisfaction and smiled, "It's never a good idea to punish someone without teaching them first, so don't rush things."

"Yes!"

The Grand Elder, dressed in a loose Daoist robe, had a resolute look in his eyes. He took a step back, raised his head, and roared, "Loyalty! Sincerity!"

The Integration stage experts standing behind him also mustered their strength and spoke up at the same time, following the Third Supreme.

In an instant, voices of loyalty resounded throughout the mountain gate.

On the other side of the square, Yuxu Zi and several other elders of the Qingwang Sect stood together, all with blank expressions.

They witnessed firsthand how these renowned seniors, in just half a month, rapidly transformed from arrogant and self-important to their current, difficult-to-judge state.

Wang the Gambler opened his mouth, as if he had a toothache, and said, "This really is... unparalleled loyalty."

Upon hearing this, Yuxu Zi's lips twitched, completely at a loss for words.

If they were already like this, it was even harder for the surviving disciples of the Qingwang Sect to hold back, feeling as if their illusions about these senior masters had been shattered.

Lu Bai didn't mind this, and he figured these senior experts wouldn't dare to mind either.

He withdrew his scrutinizing gaze, stood up, and looked up at the sky.

[Ink Dye] was activated silently.

The next second, the light was blocked, and darkness descended.

The sky over the entire Xuanzhou was instantly turned pitch black.

Before people everywhere could be filled with fear because of this upheaval, the darkness receded and the sky shone with light once more.

Only a line of eye-catching words remained against the azure sky.

[Fellow Spokesperson of the immortal sects, I am Lu Bai, and I await you at the Qingwang Sect.]

Below that, there was a line of smaller black text.

[If you haven't arrived by sunset today, you're responsible for the consequences.]

This scene was not only visible to cultivators, but also to countless mortals throughout the vast Xuanzhou.

Compared to the lamentations, fear, and panic of ordinary people, the cultivators of the various immortal sects in Xuanzhou breathed a sigh of relief.

Like a Damocles' sword hanging over the heads of all immortal sects, it's better to actually cut it down than to let it hang there forever.

Without hesitation, the Sect Master and Holy Lord of the various immortal sects set off decisively.

If someone were standing above Xuanzhou at this moment, they would see rainbows shooting into the Xuanzhou from all directions, all heading in the same direction.

Although I've witnessed Lu Bai's ability to manipulate events with a flick of his finger more than once, I still feel an indescribable sense of awe every time I see it.

The Third Supreme's expression grew even more respectful as he cautiously inquired, "Senior Lü, is it necessary for us to guard various points around the mountain gate?"

Lu Bai waved his hand, indicating that these powerful cultivators could rest for a while.

It would take time for the Spokesperson of the various immortal sects to arrive, so Lu Bai took this opportunity to re-examine his ideas and consider whether there were any oversights.

He did intend to use this world as a testing ground, but he wouldn't deliberately cause trouble.

Systems like caste, feudalism, and even slavery were basically not within his consideration.

To view it from a high-level perspective.

Essentially, the most important aspect of a system is who holds the power to decide on the form of government.

There are essentially three scenarios: one person makes the decision, a small group of people have the decision-making power, or everyone has an equal share of the decision-making power.

They represent dictatorship, elites, and democracy, respectively.

It is obvious that allowing a small number of elites to determine the direction of society has far too many drawbacks.

Complete democracy is also unrealistic. Under the influence of the herd effect, it is almost impossible for the main body of society to have independent thinking ability, and most people will only become puppets controlled by others.

On the contrary, a complete dictatorship relying on one person is the most extreme, but also has the highest limits.

Once laid out in this way, it is easy to deduce that the theoretically optimal solution is for a person of high moral character and expertise in all fields to decide the development of the group.

Of course, this is the ideal situation.

For a person to possess great power, they must also be among the strongest, or at least one of the strongest.

Moreover, each generation must produce such a person; otherwise, this order cannot be maintained indefinitely.

With so many conditions piled up, it's impossible to achieve such a perfect state; at best, we can only try to get as close as possible.

Fortunately, Lu Bai himself doesn't strive for perfection.

If one truly possesses the power to act without restraint and with impunity, it will most likely create a citizen of the motherland, rather than a saintly figure of peace and prosperity.

Even Lu Bai himself couldn't guarantee that he could remain impartial regarding the dark side of human nature, let alone others.

The longer Lu Bai pondered this matter, the more he felt that no matter how a program runs, as long as it can run, it's best not to touch it.

After all, once change begins, it cannot be stopped, and it will not follow the ideas of its initiator completely.

It's only now that he has the opportunity to try it out; otherwise, he wouldn't even have considered giving it a shot.

The sun sets in the west, its afterglow like fire.

Prior to this, hundreds of Spokesperson from various immortal sects had arrived at the Qingwang Sect one after another.

They did not come alone; a considerable number of immortal sects came together with their sect Sect Master and elders.

Many high-level cultivators gathered in front of the Qingwang Sect's mountain gate, chatting with each other to ease their inner tension.

"Time is running out."

As night was about to fall, Lu Bai stretched and turned to look at the Third Supreme beside him.

With a smile, he asked, "Which other immortal sects haven't arrived yet?"

The Third Supreme had clearly been paying close attention to this matter. Upon hearing Lu Bai's question, he immediately took out a jade slip, held it above his head with both hands, and appeared extremely respectful.

"Reporting to Senior Lü, the list of all the immortal sects that have not yet sent anyone, excluding those that have relocated their entire sects, is included here."

"This is no ordinary immortal sect; we must strike hard."

Lu Bai showed no intention of using his divine sense to examine the jade slip. With a wave of his hand, he added, "It's your turn, Inspection Team. Any difficulties?"

"We guarantee the mission will be completed."

The Third Supreme stepped back, leading the entire Inspection Team in a unified shout, "Loyalty! Honesty!"

The echoes of loyalty still lingered within the mountain gate, while the powerful figures of the Inspection Team had already reached the horizon and then disappeared from sight.

There were a total of twenty-three Nascent Integration stage, four Mahayana stage, and two Immortal Artifacts from the Golden Scale Holy Land and the Taishi Sect.

Putting Lu Bai aside, it's no exaggeration to say that such immense power could dominate Xuanzhou; no single immortal sect could stand against it alone.

At most, his loyalty is questionable, but as long as Lu Bai is still around, it's not a big problem.

Seeing this, Yuxu Zi forcibly suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and asked hesitantly, "Elder Lu, what do you think of the fellow cultivators from the immortal sects outside the mountain gate...?"

Lu Bai casually said, "Then let them come up. It's been a long wait for them."
