The Sect's Development

As soon as he got home, Ye Lingshuang quietly came to his door, wanting to discuss something with him.

By this time, all the forces had left, so there was no need to worry about being watched from behind the walls, since her relationship with Yu Mingxiao was quite special.

Yu Mingxiao led her into the study, casually closed the door behind him, and said with a faint smile, "Is there something you want to say?"

Ye Lingshuang said with a wry smile, "Although our branch sect in the Douluo Continent hasn't been officially established yet, you know that the sect's daily expenses are considerable. Without an industry to support it, this branch sect probably wouldn't be able to stand on its own."

The Starry Sky Sect has some industries in the Sun Moon Empire to support it and maintain its operations.

However, having no foundation upon arriving in the Douluo Continent, Yu Mingxiao insisted that the four of them establish a branch sect there.

Yu Mingxiao said, "I've already thought about this. You can sell some non-lethal Soul Tool. As you can probably see, the Soul Guidance Technology in the Douluo Continent is still quite backward."

"Soul Tool?" Ye Lingshuang nodded and said softly, "I've thought of that too, but we have too few people here who know how to make Soul Tool Soul Tool, and it takes quite a while to make one."

Yu Mingxiao waved his hand and said calmly, "It's alright. Pick some clever and reliable people and teach them how to make Soul Tool. Even if they're only level one or two, they'll sell perfectly well."

Ye Lingshuang hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Yu Mingxiao laughed and said, "In addition, let's set up a mercenary department to operate externally. Free Soul Master can come and post missions, and Soul Master who are short of money can take on missions and do the work. You can take a commission from each mission."

"There have always been free Soul Master on the mainland, and the mercenary profession will never end; it's just that there's always been a lack of a proper, formal platform to connect them."

Ye Lingshuang's eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "That's a great idea! If we can get these two businesses going, the sect's operations will be fine."

Yu Mingxiao smiled and said, "You can go now. Get the branch office up and running as soon as possible."

Ye Lingshuang cupped her hands in a respectful gesture and slowly took her leave.

Yu Mingxiao watched her figure gradually walk away.

The growth and expansion of the Starry Sky Sect in the Douluo Continent has greatly benefited him. For example, he can freely deploy manpower to secretly monitor various figures, such as Tang Hao and Ning Fengzhi, and send people to keep an eye on them.

But the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is different. He is not the Sect Master yet. Even if he takes the position in the future, he may be constrained in his actions due to his family status.

Yu Mingxiao withdrew his thoughts, focused his inner gaze, and pondered the matter of becoming a god.

The priority right now is to improve my cultivation level; power is just a side effect and there's no rush for now.

Two Dragon God Core circulated slowly in the lower dantian, shimmering with light, accompanied quietly by a nine-colored rhombus-shaped crystal.

In one year, he condensed his last Soul Core in the Sun Moon Empire.

Perhaps this thing cannot be considered an ordinary Soul Core; it is more like Dragon Core formed from the primordial essence of the Dragon God Core. And through this special Dragon Core, he became a unique Yin-Yang Complementary three- Soul Core throughout history.

The lower dantian corresponds to the essence among spirit, energy, and qi. In Douluo, essence is roughly a symbol of the physical body's origin, bloodline, and qi.

Since condensing this Soul Core, Yu Mingxiao's bloodline strength has skyrocketed. Even without Godhood, he feels he can forcefully break through to the God-level.

But he has many things to consider, the first being safety.

Forcibly breaking through to the God-level might invite divine punishment.

Even if he survives the lightning, the Divine Realm will never stand idly by.

If a wild god suddenly appears out of nowhere, posing too great a threat to a plane, the Divine Realm will surely send someone to guide him to the Divine Realm.

At that point, his best option would be to receive a divine mandate and the permission of the Five Great God Kings to legitimately enter the Divine Realm, but then he would be unable to return to the Douluo Continent.

"Being a wild god or inheriting someone else's Godhood won't work; you still have to Self-Created Godhood. Of course, if you could directly become Dragon God, that would be great too."

Yu Mingxiao pursed his lips, dissatisfied with his current situation.

Unfortunately, becoming Dragon God requires a complete bloodline, and this path is blocked. It seems that the only option left is to create Self-Created Godhood.

"Let's go talk to Gu Yuena first; maybe she can help me."

Ripples spread through the surrounding space, Yu Mingxiao's figure disappeared from the spot, appearing in the Lake of Life the next moment.

Since the disappearance of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, most of these Ferocious Beast are no longer slumbering in the Lake of Life. Only Di Tian has been stationed here year-round to guard the Silver Dragon King and serve him.

Di Tian sensed a familiar presence, abruptly opened his eyes, and in a flash, he found himself by the vibrant lakeside. Looking at Yu Mingxiao, he said in a serious tone, "Why are you here? And the aura on you..."

He could sense that this aura was extremely powerful, surpassing even his own.

It seems like they've already reached God-level, but it also seems like they haven't; their true nature is completely unfathomable.

Yu Mingxiao chuckled softly, "Level 99, and still not a god."

Di Tian nodded and asked, "Do you wish to see the Lord?"

"Please take me to see her," Yu Mingxiao said with a faint smile.

In fact, he wouldn't come here for no other reason than to see the Silver Dragon King and Bi Ji.

"Follow me." Di Tian didn't say much, tore open a spatial rift, and stepped inside first.

Yu Mingxiao followed him into the spatial rift and stepped into that familiar space.

Gu Yuena did not transform into her true form as a silver dragon. Instead, she lay quietly on a piece of emerald green crystal, nourished by the life force surrounding her.

Strangely, Na'er has disappeared.

"You've arrived?"

Gu Yuena slowly opened her eyes, turned her head and saw through his confusion, and quickly explained, "From the moment I separated Na'er, she had no foundation and could not be independent."

"To merge with me is her final destination."

Then she added, "But don't worry, I can always separate her back."

Yu Mingxiao: "..."

This isn't about whether we'll separate or not!

I just felt really awkward about it.

Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind, Yu Mingxiao said, "I came to see you this time to talk about becoming a god."

"You're already Level 99, are you thinking about how to become a god?"

Gu Yuena saw through his thoughts at a glance and asked him a question.

"Hmm." Yu Mingxiao nodded, readily admitting it.

"With your Talent, once you catch the attention of the Divine Realm, a deity will surely be willing to pass the throne to you."

Gu Yuena for a moment, then asked, "After we parted ways last time, the Sea God Island you went to was the Sea God's territory. Didn't He keep an eye on you?"

Yu Mingxiao shrugged. "To be honest, the Sea God wants to pass the Godhood to me."

"But you didn't agree?" Gu Yuena retorted.

Yu Mingxiao said, "Yes, otherwise I might have already become a god..."

Gu Yuena instantly understood his thoughts and said with a faint smile, "It seems you're planning to create your Self-Created Godhood. That path won't be easy."

Yu Mingxiao asked, "So, how should I Self-Created Godhood? Do you have any suggestions?"
