Ten Thousand Swords Sect's Regard
Upon hearing this, Master Jinqian and Lu Han's expressions turned grim. If Shen Long didn't intervene, the Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Mystic Spirit Gate might one day come and wipe them out.
"You think you can get Uncle-Master Shen to intervene with such a paltry sum? You underestimate Uncle-Master Shen! Please leave!"
Chen Xiao frowned and said.
Shen Long is now on par with a Grand Master. You think you can get Shen Long's help just by offering a small gift? You're underestimating Shen Long. If this precedent is set, you can get Shen Long's help for anything you offer in the future.
Master Jinqian and Lu Han exchanged a glance and nodded to each other.
"Senior Shen, since our two sects have merged into the Spirit Control Sect, we still have a considerable amount of wealth in our Treasure Vault, which we are willing to offer to the Spirit Control Sect."
The Master Jinqian's voice was heavy, his face full of reluctance.
The news that neither Tyrant Blade Villa nor Purple Firmament Gate has Nascent Soul Cultivator has not yet spread. Once it does, it will definitely cause panic. Even without the Mystic Spirit Gate as an enemy, other forces will still make a move. Tyrant Blade Villa and Purple Firmament Gate have considerable territory. "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."
The two factions are now demoralized, and some even want to divide up the treasure in the Treasure Vault and go their separate ways.
The merger of the two factions into the Spirit Control Sect would preserve their lineage, and most importantly, it would exchange them for their future Dao Path in the Dao.
In recent years, the Spirit Control Sect has been thriving. Shen Long single-handedly killed the Xuan Mysterious Yin Ghost Mother, a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator. The Spirit Control Sect is known by many cultivators as the sixth largest power in the East Hua Cultivation World. Anyone with eyes can see that the rise of the Spirit Control Sect is unstoppable.
By joining the Spirit Control Sect, they can have a bright future, and their disciples will also have better opportunities, instead of going their separate ways.
"To be merged into the Spirit Control Sect?"
Shen Long was stunned; he had never considered this possibility.
"That's right. Our two sects together have over 20,000 disciples, Core Formation Cultivator. We are willing to obey the orders of the Spirit Control Sect Spirit Control Sect and act in accordance with its rules. We hope Senior Shen will grant our request."
Lu Han echoed.
If they don't join the Spirit Control Sect, the best outcome is that the higher-ups divide up the treasure in the Treasure Vault and go their separate ways, while the disciples will become Rogue Cultivator.
"Junior Nephew Chen, what do you think?"
Shen Long transmitted his voice to Chen Xiao.
"This matter is of great importance, and I have no authority to decide it. I can only leave it to Uncle-Master Shen. Uncle-Master Yuan is currently in seclusion for cultivation. Before his seclusion, he instructed that major matters within the sect should be decided by you."
Chen Xiao transmitted his voice.
"I'd like to hear your opinion; I know absolutely nothing about management."
Shen Long transmitted his voice.
"If we accept them, there will definitely be some troubles in the short term, but the benefits are obvious. It can strengthen the power of our Spirit Control Sect. However, we cannot announce to the public that the two sects have merged into our Spirit Control Sect. Instead, the Nascent Soul Cultivator of the two sects should leave their last words, joining the Spirit Control Sect."
Chen Xiao shared his opinion.
If it were announced that Tyrant Blade Villa and Purple Firmament Gate had merged into the Spirit Control Sect, it would be hard not to have some doubts. The disciples of the two sects would feel some resistance, since the three sects are not from the same lineage. Their sudden merger into the Spirit Control Sect would definitely cause them to resist. If the last words of the Nascent Soul Cultivator of the two sects could alleviate their resistance, it would be a good thing.
"I agree to your joining the Spirit Control Sect. Once you reach the Great Perfection of your cultivation, I can provide you with a Nascent Soul Spirit Item. As for the other Core Formation Cultivator, that will depend on their contributions. Junior Nephew Chen will be responsible for coordinating with you on the specifics. You can discuss it with him!"
Shen Long said.
"Yes, Senior Shen."
Master Jinqian and Lu Han agreed, their expressions respectful.
"This is your own choice, not something I forced you to do. Let me make this clear from the start: if you don't want to join the Spirit Control Sect, you can leave, we won't stop you. But if you join the Spirit Control Sect and try to sabotage us behind our backs, I will not let you off easily."
Shen Long's tone was stern.
Master Jinqian and Lu Han looked somewhat nervous, but they agreed in unison.
Chen Xiao took out a Dharma Disk that shimmered with spiritual light, cast a spell on it, and said, "Uncle-Master Shen, Senior Chu from the Sun and Moon Palace is here to visit. What do you think?"
"Please invite Fairy Chu to my residence; I will personally receive her."
Shen Long gave the order.
"Yes, Uncle-Master Shen."
Chen Xiao agreed and made some gestures on the Dharma Disk.
"I'm leaving this place to you, Junior Nephew Chen."
After saying this, Shen Long got up and left.
He was only responsible for grasping the overall direction, leaving the specific tasks to the younger generation.
Back at his lodgings, Shen Long gave Lin Sen some instructions, then sat down in a stone pavilion, brewed tea, and waited for Chu Buyu to arrive.
Not long after, Lin Sen arrived with Chu Buyu.
"Long time no see, Fairy Chu."
Shen Long gestured for Chu Buyu to sit down, picked up the teapot and poured her a cup of Spirit Tea. Lin Sen tactfully withdrew.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, this is the Yin -Yin-Yang Beads you requested."
Chu Buyu took out an exquisite golden jade box and handed it to Shen Long.
Shen Long opened the jade box, inside which were two round beads that shimmered with spiritual light.
"A Thunder-Absorbing Bead and a Thunder-Guiding Bead, a complete set of treasures, are even more powerful than the Yin-Yang Thunder Beads set."
Chu Buyu said.
"Thank you very much, Fairy Chu."
Shen Long thanked him and accepted the Yin-Yang Beads.
"Just fulfilling a promise. By the way, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is preparing the Ten Thousand Swords Assembly and is inviting Nascent Soul Cultivator to participate. Are you interested?"
Chu Buyu got down to business.
"The Ten Thousand Swords Assembly! How come I didn't know about it?"
Shen Long asked, puzzled.
Logically speaking, if the Ten Thousand Swords Sect were to hold the Ten Thousand Swords Assembly in the East Hua Cultivation World, Shen Long Shen Long would have known about it much earlier.
"The Vice Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is visiting our Sun and Moon Palace. I only found out about this because he informed us in advance. I estimate that your Spirit Control Sect will also receive an invitation. You are quite a celebrity now, comparable to a Grand Cultivator."
Chu Buyu explained.
"I'm no big celebrity; I just rely on the advantage of treasures."
Shen Long said modestly, then changed the subject, saying, "By the way, Fairy Chu, I heard that your Sun and Moon Palace and the Heaven Ghost Sect fought a fierce battle, resulting in the deaths and injuries of many Nascent Soul Cultivator."
"Someone is secretly stirring things up, which has led to the escalation of the conflict. We are still investigating. Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Shen. Master and Senior Brother Zhao are wary of Lin Feng."
Chu Buyu said.
Shen Long told Chu Buyu about Lin Feng's subjugation of the mutated Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape, warning her to be extra careful.
"It was just a small favor, you didn't say it was me who said it, did you!"
Shen Long asked.
"No, I just said I received reliable information. Don't worry, I know my limits and won't betray you."
Chu Buyu said seriously.
The leak wouldn't benefit them; Shen Long only told Chu Buyu out of good intentions.
Upon hearing this, Shen Long breathed a sigh of relief; if that was the case, he was at ease.
After chatting for half an hour, Chu Buyu took his leave.
No sooner had she left than people from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect arrived, bringing invitations to Shen Long 'Ten Thousand Swords Sect Invitation Ten Thousand Swords Assembly.
The Ten Thousand Swords Sect has held the Ten Thousand Swords Assembly many times, with no fixed time. This is the second time they have sent Invitation to the Spirit Control Sect. The first time was before the True Monarch Spirit Control ascended to immortality.
Only powerful individuals or forces can receive Invitation from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
Shen Long naturally agreed to the invitation, as he also wanted to get to know more Nascent Soul Cultivator and exchange cultivation resources.
