Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Dugu Yan was immediately intrigued.
Her eyes lit up as she looked at Lin Mo, her voice brimming with excitement, "Let me guess."
The others also came closer, ready to hear Dugu Yan's insights.
Lin Mo wore a playful smile and remained silent.
Dugu Yan coughed lightly, drawing everyone's attention to herself. "The reason A-Mo wants to establish a sect is probably because he has chosen the right time."
" The Spirit Hall has just finished its operations against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and the small and medium-sized sects on the continent are in a state of panic."
"They fear they will be the next victims, following the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan..."
"At times like these, if someone is willing to step forward and offer them shelter, they will naturally be willing to come to them."
Dugu Yan paused, then looked at Lin Mo, " A-Mo, is that so?"
Lin Mo nodded. "Go on."
Dugu Yan's voice rose a little, "Moreover, what we lack right now is not top-tier combat power."
"With Grandpa and Grandpa Ye both Titled Douluo, plus yourself, A-Mo, and the Charizard, our top-tier combat strength surpasses that of some established sects."
"But a sect can't only have top-tier combat power; it also needs mid-level and lower-level disciples. In this regard, we currently have zero."
"However, both Grandpa and Grandpa Ye are Titled Douluo. If they are willing to step forward, their influence will surely attract a large number of people from other forces to come and join them."
"I think A-Mo thinks so too, right?"
Lin Mo smiled and nodded, " Sister Yanyan is wrong."
Ye Lingling, standing to the side, sighed softly, her tone filled with worry.
" A-Mo, by doing this, you're essentially competing with the Spirit Hall and the two great empires for our people."
"You're aware of the current situation on the mainland. The Spirit Hall is recruiting people, and so are the two great empires. Wouldn't it be too conspicuous to jump out and create a sect at this time?"
Lin Mo shook his head, his tone tinged with confusion, feigning innocence. " Sister Lingling, how did I become someone who's stealing people from them?"
"Isn't what I'm doing also helping the Heaven Dou Empire attract talent to join its ranks? My current official identity is that of One-Character Prince Equal to the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire."
Upon hearing this, the people present were taken aback at first, but then they realized what he meant.
Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow, his gaze towards Lin Mo now filled with admiration.
Xue Qinghe chose to announce to the world, using the title of "One-Character Prince Equal to the Emperor," that Lin Mo was now on the same boat as the Heaven Dou Empire.
But he certainly never dreamed that Lin Mo wasn't also using this identity to conceal his true intentions and recruit other sects.
The title of "One-Character Prince Equal to the Emperor, Parallel to One Rank "in the Heaven Dou Empire is neither particularly grand nor insignificant.
It is considered grand because it is the only non-royal king in the Heaven Dou Empire in nearly a century, holding a highly respected position.
It's considered small because Lin Mo's title of Duke is more symbolic; he doesn't actually hold any real power.
But this title, at this moment, is an invaluable asset.
Even if Xue Qinghe was dissatisfied, he couldn't openly say anything, since they were recruiting people under the guise of the Heaven Dou Empire.
After all, Lin Mo is ostensibly "one of our own."
Those small and medium-sized sects, if they directly pledge allegiance to the Spirit Hall, might be used as cannon fodder.
If they were to align themselves with one of the two great empires, they might lose their autonomy.
However, if one were to pledge allegiance to Lin Mo, a Seven-Ring Soul Sage with a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, and backed by two Titled Douluo nobles of the Heaven Dou Empire, the situation would be different.
Lin Mo's identity is in a rather delicate position.
It has sufficient strength and background, yet it doesn't intimidate people like the Spirit Hall.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo's eyes narrowed involuntarily.
Since we're already here, we should leave something behind for this world.
Moreover, the Soul Hunting Operation has already ended. Apart from the Lower Four Sects, which have already chosen to submit to the Spirit Hall, the other Soul Master Soul Master are all on edge.
The leaders of those small and medium-sized sects are now Rest soundly, fearing that they will be the next Poison Touch of the Spirit Hall.
In such times, if someone can stand up and offer them shelter, they will naturally flock to them.
If he really wants to create a sect, he has an unparalleled advantage that no one else has.
That is his personal reputation and fame.
The most outstanding genius in the history of the Douluo Continent! An eighteen-year-old Seven-Ring Soul Sage with Seventh Soul Ring of 100,000 years!
That alone is enough to make it a target for many people.
For those young Soul Master, the name Lin Mo itself represents an attraction.
For those older generation Soul Master, no one understands better than them the meaning behind such a title and talent.
If you wait until Lin Mo truly grows up, becomes Titled Douluo, and then Super Douluo, then joining his sect would be the icing on the cake.
But now, choosing to join him when he's just starting out is like sending charcoal in snowy weather.
The meanings of "offering help in times of need" and "adding flowers to brocade" have always been different.
Under such circumstances, coupled with the backing of two Titled Douluo, Dugu Bo and Ye Linyuan, if Lin Mo were to announce his intention to establish a sect, there would definitely be many people willing to join.
As for the sects he planned to recruit, Lin Mo already had an excellent choice.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously reached for the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse at his waist.
There lay quietly a Immortal Herb that he had just picked.
Aromatic Silk Beauty.
One of his next targets to win over was the Breaking Clan, one of the Four Great Single-Attribute Clans that had been abandoned by the Clear Sky Sect.
The Breaking Clan, led by Yang Wudi, possesses the Martial Soul- Soul Breaking Spear its martial soul and Soul Power Level at the Soul Douluo level.
This clan excels in alchemy and possesses unique insights into pharmacology and toxicology.
The Aromatic Silk Beauty can be considered a " Special Attack weapon" against Yang Wudi.
As the most unique among the many Immortal Herb in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the Aromatic Silk Beauty itself has extremely high medicinal value.
Moreover, for someone like Yang Wudi who is obsessed with alchemy, the allure of the Aromatic Silk Beauty itself even surpasses that of some Soul Bone.
Of the four abandoned clans of the Clear Sky Sect, Lin Mo had always intended to win over only the Breaking Clan.
The other three cases were not within his consideration.
The Strength Clan needs no introduction. Their patriarch, Tai Tan, possesses the Martial Soul of the Great Strength Gorilla and is utterly loyal to the Clear Sky Sect, or rather, to Tang Hao.
He was the most loyal lackey of the Clear Sky Sect.
Even if we could win them over, it would only create more trouble for us in the future.
When the time comes, a single word from Tang Hao or Tang San will be enough to make these people turn against them!
The Speed Clan is similar to them. Their clan leader, Bai He, Sharp-Tailed Swift Martial Soul, making them top performers among Agility Attack System in terms of speed alone.
However, given the previous deal Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, there is still a possibility of success if they try to win it over.
The key to the problem lies with Bai He of the Speed Clan, who is considered Tang San's great-uncle.
With this relationship in place, Bai He would naturally lean towards Tang San.
Since he and Tang San are destined to be enemies in the future, there's no need for him to create trouble for himself.
As for the remaining Defense Clan, their leader, Niu Gao, possesses the Martial Soul Plate Armored Giant Rhinoceros, and is skilled in defense and construction.
This race's position is actually quite awkward, because their specialty is defense, and that's all they possess.
The Breaking Clan can refine medicine, the Speed Clan can scout, and the Strength Clan can forge iron.
What can the Defense Clan do?
Repairing a house?
Which sect would specifically employ a group of people who only know how to build houses and take beatings?
The Defense Clan is too useless.
Lin Mo doesn't need a group of defense and construction personnel for the time being.
Instead of wasting effort on winning over a worthless person, it's better to focus your energy on more valuable goals.
As for the remaining options, we can only set our sights on the Four Elements Academy.
Godwind Academy, Blazing Fire Academy, Skywater Academy, and Thunder Academy.
Although these four academies are called academies, they have in fact already taken the form of sects.
They have their own heritage, their own resources, and their own territory.
If the Four Elements Academy can be won over, then the sect that Lin Mo wants to create will have the most basic framework.
Although Lin Mo did not know the higher-ups of the Four Elements Academy, he was an old acquaintance of Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, and Shui Bing'er.
After the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, he promised Feng Xiaotian and the others that he would visit them one by one if he had the opportunity in the future.
Feng Xiaotian and his friends all held quite high positions within their respective academies.
Take Huo Wu as an example; she is the daughter of the dean of the Blazing Fire Academy.
Moreover, he had already prepared to visit the Four Elements Academy, but he had been too busy with worldly affairs to find the time.
First Slaughter City, then the hunt for the Seventh Soul Ring, followed by the death of Xue Ye and his enfeoffment as a king, and then the attack on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect...
With this series of events happening, he had no time to do anything else.
But now, things have finally come to an end.
Next, it's time to properly plan the establishment of a sect.
A few days later, Lin Mo suddenly summoned Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling to one of the secret rooms.
Although the two women didn't understand why, they still followed him inside.
The secret room was small, about ten square meters, with several faintly glowing mineral stones embedded in the walls to provide illumination.
There was only one table and a few chairs in the center.
Lin Mo gestured for the two women to sit down.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling exchanged a glance and sat down as instructed.
Soon, as Lin Mo's hand swept across the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse, a blue crystal appeared in his palm.
The crystal was a deep blue, crystal clear, and three-dimensional triangular in shape.
A soft blue light emanates from the crystal surface, illuminating the secret room in a dreamlike atmosphere.
An indescribable, vast aura quietly emanated from the blue triangle.
Upon seeing the crystal emitting Youyou blue light, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling recognized its identity.
Dugu Yan spoke first, her voice filled with doubt, "Isn't this the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud that Emperor Xue Qinghe of the Heaven Dou Emperor gave you, symbolizing your status?"
The two looked puzzled, unable to understand Lin Mo's intention in taking it out now.
