Power of Faith, Holy King Establishes Sect

Now that Lin Yu had a foothold in the Northern Region, the idea of establishing his own lineage began to surface in his mind.

The resources required for the Divine Elephant's Prison Technique were increasing exponentially. He couldn't maintain this nomadic lifestyle forever. The resources needed for later cultivation were essentially a bottomless pit, making it even more difficult than it was for Ye Fan.

While there was plenty of Source in the Northern Region, it was mostly concentrated in the hands of the Sacred Lands. Small sects like Mystic Moon Cave wouldn't yield much; it was only enough for his early cultivation.

And having trained in the Northern Region these past few days, witnessing too many oases being plundered and massacred by bandits, he felt a sense of compassion and wanted to make some changes.

However, these bandits were like respawning monsters, coming in wave after wave. If he only eliminated a few tyrannical sects and bandits, it wouldn't solve the problem at all. Restoring order to this place was the long-term solution.

Cultivating to higher realms in the future, such as the Wheel of Fate and the Divine Seal of the Heavens, would require even more advanced energy like the Power of Faith.

The Power of Faith originates from the heart and is divided into many levels. It is one of the most mysterious and vast powers between heaven and earth.

Faith derived from deceit and fear contains a large amount of dark thoughts, which can pollute a cultivator's mind and lead to their downfall.

Only faith that comes from the heart, filled with light and hope, is a soft, pale gold, like the dawn sunlight dispelling darkness and bringing hope, with a translucent quality, vibrant and charming. It is granular, each particle full and like pure gold, condensing spirit and beautiful aspirations.

Some universes also call it "Heavenly Gold," with lesser forms being "Heavenly Silver" or "Incense Money."

This energy can be used to cultivate Divine Abilities, Dharma Treasures, and even increase a cultivator's cultivation base. It is practically a panacea-like existence.

The use of the Power of Faith in this universe is basically limited to creating faith avatars. Only Great Emperor Amitabha used the Power of Faith to create a method for longevity. Unfortunately, he lost everything when attempting to reach the path of longevity.

The path of cultivation has always been difficult, requiring foresight. One cannot wait until their cultivation is high to establish a great sect.

The next day, at the Mystic Moon Sect.

As the morning sun slowly rose, its golden rays bathed the rolling dozen or so green mountains, outlining them with a golden edge, making the lush forests appear even more vibrant. Clouds like soft, thin veils gently lingered between the mountains, seemingly playing with the sunlight.

In this dreamlike interplay of light and shadow, Lin Yu stood with his hands behind his back at the peak of a cloud-shrouded mountain. The stone door of the cave dwelling behind him was half-open, as if speaking of the tranquility of the previous night.

Lin Yu was dressed in a green robe, its sleeves fluttering in the wind. His posture was tall and graceful, like an exiled immortal.

At this moment, at the entrance of the Mystic Moon Cave sect hall, the disciples who had survived the catastrophe yesterday had already gathered early, discussing in low voices.

"Ah, the sect is truly unfortunate! The elders and some disciples acted recklessly, committing too many heinous deeds, and now they have finally received their retribution, with that lord coming to their doorstep.

Our sect is now almost destroyed. Everyone, tell me, what should we do from now on?" a slightly older-looking disciple said with a face full of worry.

"We never associated with those people on a daily basis and were often suppressed within the sect. Now, at this moment, what can we do?" another disciple sighed helplessly.

"That's right, before, Mystic Moon Cave could occupy this oasis entirely because of those elders in the Dao Palace Realm. With our level of cultivation, I'm afraid we can't even handle slightly larger bandit groups!"

Another disciple echoed worriedly.

"Everyone, don't think too much. Our future now depends on that lord's intentions," a more clear-headed disciple quickly reminded them.

"Junior Brother Wang Feng, after you guided that lord yesterday, what exactly happened? Why did he ask us to wait at the hall entrance this morning?" a disciple asked curiously.

"I don't know either. That lord just took the Source stones from the treasury and then told me to inform everyone to be sure to wait at the sect hall this morning."

"Senior Brother Zhou, don't make things difficult for me. Yesterday, that lord suddenly burst in and slaughtered numerous disciples in just a few breaths. Even the Grand Elder didn't last long. With that kind of fierce power, how could I dare to ask more?"

Wang Feng explained with a helpless look.

Just then, a brilliant Divine Rainbow shot in like a meteor, landing directly on the main seat of the hall. It was Lin Yu.

Seeing this, the disciples immediately stopped their discussion, instinctively tidied their already neat clothes, and then orderly walked into the hall, lining up in rows. With nervous expressions, they bowed and saluted, saying in unison:

"Greetings, Your Lordship!"

"Rise!" Lin Yu waved his hand, signaling them to stand, and then said:

"I know you have some doubts, but I already said yesterday that your hands are not stained with the blood of innocent people, so you don't need to worry."

"Thank you, Your Lordship!" Everyone quickly stood up, their faces showing a look of relief.

"My name is Yang Xuan, and I am also from the Northern Region. I accidentally obtained the inheritance of a predecessor and came here to train. Seeing that your sect was not doing things properly, I acted on behalf of heaven to give you retribution!"

Lin Yu deliberately used an alias and spoke in a stern tone.

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces instantly turned pale.

"Next, I will clear out all the bandits and other sects in the vicinity, including Qingxia and Lihuo. All bandits and those who sheltered them will be held accountable!

Afterward, I will establish a new sect here and recruit disciples from the oases within the territory."

After Lin Yu finished speaking, seeing the disciples below looking shocked, he continued, "This sect will be called Holy King, and you will be the first batch of disciples!"

"We greet the Sect Master!" Everyone's faces lit up with joy, and they bowed one after another.

Lin Yu sat on the chair in the hall, looking at the joyful crowd below, and continued to make arrangements, "The Holy King Sect has just been founded, and I am focused on cultivation, so I must establish some rules.

Wang Feng, you will serve as the Elder of the Internal Affairs Hall. Later, take ten people to clean up the damaged buildings in the sect and register the belongings of the deceased disciples and elders.

Here are a hundred catties of Source and a Spirit Armament. Take them and break through to the Dao Palace Realm as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Sect Master, for the reward!" Wang Feng said with a surprised look.

"Zhou Zhining, you will serve as the Elder of the External Affairs Hall, responsible for contacting the oases within the sect's territory, helping them solve problems, and at the same time, searching for Immortal Seeds for the sect."

"Yang Xian, you will serve as the Elder of Transmission, and you will be responsible for teaching the Immortal Seeds of the sect in the future."

Similarly, Lin Yu also rewarded each of them with a hundred catties of Source and a Spirit Armament.

"From now on, when I am in seclusion, you three will discuss the minor matters. If you really cannot make a decision, wait until I come out of seclusion."

Lin Yu appointed the three with the highest cultivation levels as elders and arranged the matters.

"Next, I will give you another benefit, using a supreme Divine Ability to reshape your essence and refine your origin!"

After Lin Yu finished speaking, he stood up. A powerful aura that encompassed the universe and suppressed the great thousand burst forth, enveloping the entire hall. Although the power of the Divine Elephant King was young, it was still soul-stirring!
