Therefore, the Immortal Cultivation Realm is not lacking in people with Spiritual Root, but rather in cultivation techniques and resources.
Or rather, it is the major cultivation sects that have monopolized cultivation techniques and resources.
Ordinary people should never touch it without permission.
According to Ling Yi's understanding, even if an ordinary person obtains a cultivation technique by chance from an ancient secret realm cave, they cannot cultivate it casually.
If you want to cultivate, you can, but you must join one of the major sects, otherwise you will be jointly hunted down by various cultivation sects.
That's absolutely unreasonable.
This made Ling Yi very unhappy, and when he was unhappy, he wanted to cause trouble.
For the next month, Ling Yi wandered around.
From the Border Sea City all the way to the Central City.
That is, the capital of the Central-Northern Empire.
Ling Yi did not enter the city, but instead found a scenic valley outside Central City, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, and stopped there.
With a wave of his hand, Ye Chen and his eleven disciples appeared before him.
" The Final Master!" Ye Chen and the others bowed to Ling Yi.
"I'm giving you two tasks," Ling Yi said, squatting on Shitou and waving his hand dismissively at the group.
"The first thing is to build the headquarters of the Heaven-Exploding Sect here."
" The Final Master, where is this place?" Peng Qi asked.
Ye Chen said, "Why does this place feel a little familiar?"
Lin Huai said, "This is Emerald Rosy Clouds Valley, fifty kilometers west of Central City!"
" Emerald Rosy Clouds Valley? No wonder it feels so familiar!" A flash of recollection crossed Ye Chen's eyes.
His father had brought him here to visit many times before.
Emerald Rosy Clouds Valley boasts stunning scenery and a spring-like climate year-round, making it a wonderful place to visit.
However, isn't it a bit too casual to build a sect here?
Which cultivation sect doesn't reside in a place rich in Spiritual Qi?
Even if it's not located above Spirit Stone mine, it must be a place with Spiritual Spring.
The scenery here is nice, but the Spiritual Qi is rather ordinary.
Of course, the Final Master has his own personal sanctuary, so he doesn't really care where he chooses to be the sect's location.
" The Final Master, is our Heaven-Exploding Sect about to emerge?" Lin Huai asked.
Ling Yi nodded. "Besides building the sect, your second task is to recruit people. After the sect is built, recruit two thousand outer disciples first."
" The Final Master, there must be conditions for recruiting people, right? Otherwise, it would be too easy for a cultivation sect to recruit two thousand outer disciples," Lin Huai asked again.
A single Hundred Leaps Token can tempt even an emperor; if a cultivation sect were to announce its recruitment of outer disciples, people would fight tooth and nail to get in.
Hiring? There's absolutely no need to hire!
"Of course there are conditions; the Spiritual Root must be at least grade Third Pin!"
The requirement of having Third Pin Spiritual Root is actually not high. Ling Yi could easily find more than ten such people in Border Sea City.
If Ling Yi puts his mind to it, finding another hundred or two wouldn't be a problem.
Finding two thousand or more Spiritual Root of Third Pin or higher is too easy.
" The Final Master, is this the only condition?" Ye Chen asked.
"These are my terms. The rest are up to you."
Everyone had become accustomed to Ling Yi's hands-off management style.
To be honest, from the time they became Ling Yi's disciples until now, Ling Yi has basically never paid any attention to them.
After the cultivation method was given, it was left to fend for itself.
Fortunately, the cultivation techniques given by Ling Yi, or rather, the cultivation techniques rewarded by the system, all had a certain initiation-like quality.
Otherwise, even if these people obtained the cultivation method, they would likely find it difficult to even Entry.
"So, what are the requirements for establishing a sect?"
Ling Yi scratched his head. He really hadn't thought of any requirements.
He just wanted to stir things up and bring the Heaven-Exploding Sect out of hiding; he genuinely didn't have a detailed plan.
Ling Yi thought for a moment, then gave the answer, "You guys decide!"
Ye Chen and the others simply stopped asking questions, knowing that asking further would only lead to nothing.
Let them discuss it together!
"What are cultivation sects like?" Peng Qi asked.
"I don't know!"
"Senior Brother Lin, you've never seen a cultivation sect before?" Zhao Hai asked Lin Huai.
"I have met cultivators, but I have never been to a cultivation sect."
"We can't just build it exactly like in those novels, can we? If it turns out well, great, but if it doesn't, wouldn't our Heaven-Exploding Sect become a laughingstock?"
"Then let's find a cultivation sect to visit. The closest one is the Hundred Leaps Sect. Does anyone know where the Hundred Leaps Sect is?"
"I know, but I don't have the Hundred Leaps Token," Ye Chen said, his eyes flickering.
"Do we need the Hundred Leaps Token?" Lin Huai said disdainfully.
"Among all of us fellow disciples, even the junior sister Shi Yun, who has the weakest cultivation, is now at the Golden Core Stage Second Layer. The sect leader of the Hundred Leaps Sect is only at the Early Golden Core Stage, at most the third level."
"No way, is the Hundred Leaps Sect really that weak? Does that mean any one of us could just send someone and take over the Hundred Leaps Sect? The Final Master, why don't we just take over the Hundred Leaps Sect already!"
After Peng Qi finished speaking, he looked at Ling Yi.
"If I wanted to seize another sect, would I need you to go through all this trouble? Wouldn't it be better to just go to the Saint Region and rob a top-tier sect?"
With that, Ling Yi stood up. "I'm going to take a look around Central City. You can decide the rest yourselves."
After saying that, Ling Yi's figure rose up and flew straight out of the valley.
" The Final Master!" Shi Yun suddenly called out timidly.
Ling Yi stopped and turned to look at the twin sisters, Shi Rui and Shi Yun.
"How?"
" The Final Master, we want to follow you!" Shi Yun said cautiously.
"Then follow!" Ling Yi waved his hand and said.
The two sisters immediately flew to Ling Yi's side.
The twin sisters have rarely spoken since they were taken in as disciples by Ling Yi.
Unless Ling Yi asks them directly, they never communicate with Ye Chen and the others.
I only see them when they eat in the cafeteria; the rest of the time, they're basically cultivating in their dormitories.
Ling Yi could sense that the two sisters were hostile to everyone except him, their the Final Master.
This is probably related to their experiences!
They were only fifteen or sixteen years old, yet they were treated like commodities, traded and judged by countless people.
One can imagine how desperate they must have felt at that time.
Like Lin Huai and his group, the two were convicted criminals, and those convicted criminals generally came from wealthy and powerful families.
They were at least once rich and powerful.
However, their status was merely that of maids and servants; they were "sent" into the profession by their own parents.
They were not even ten years old at that time.
These past few years haven't been easy for them in their master's household either. Besides having to learn all sorts of messy etiquette and skills that maids are supposed to know every day, they were often beaten and scolded.
After their master's business collapsed, the two women were bought and sold by various so-called "merchants."
Luck, those "merchants," in order to ensure they sold at the highest price, were reluctant to make a move; otherwise...
The two women didn't know how to repay their the Final Master, so their only thought now was to stay by the Final Master side and serve the Final Master for the rest of their lives.
After Ling Yi and the other two left, Lin Huai glanced at the others and said, " The Final Master doesn't seem to care about the methods."
Everyone understands what it means to not care about the means.
"How about we go to the Saint Region? It's said that the Saint Region is full of super cultivation sects, and their sect headquarters must be extraordinary," Zhao Wenyuan.
"Forget about the Saint Region. There are too many powerful figures there, and it would be too troublesome. Besides, going back and forth would be too much of a waste of time." Ye Chen shook his head.
"It will only take half a month at most. Did the Final Master specify a timeframe for building the sect?" Peng Qi clearly had some longing for the Saint Region.
After all, the Saint Region is the true Immortal Cultivation Realm.
"I'm afraid if we don't go now, we won't be able to come back!" Lin Huai said, shaking his head.
Why?
"To those cultivators from those sects, we all seem to be heretical cultivators," Lin Huai explained.
Aside from Ye Chen, everyone else found it hard to understand—how could he be considered a heretical cultivator?
"Cultivators who are not from cultivation sects are all evil cultivators and must be eliminated!"
"Why? Who made that rule?" Zhao Hai asked.
Everyone frowned. They were just ordinary people who had never been in contact with cultivators and had never heard of such a thing before.
"There's no reason why, that's just how it's stipulated. As for who stipulated it, it's naturally a joint stipulation by those twenty-seven sects."
A red glint flashed in Lin Huai's eyes. "Cultivation sects forbid A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality from cultivating immortality."
"Cultivating immortality is forbidden, let alone creating a sect for it. Therefore, if our Heaven-Exploding Sect were to emerge, they would label us a demonic sect and unite to destroy us."
Hearing Lin Huai's words, everyone became angry.
"With our strength, we can still act somewhat recklessly in the Cangnan Region, but in the Saint Region, there are far too many powerful individuals. It is said that there are experts at the Body Integration Stage or above in the Saint Region."
"Did the Final Master give us the task of building a sect? The Final Master gave us the task of waging war against twenty-seven cultivation sects and winning."
Everyone fell silent again.
Lin Huai glanced at everyone and chuckled, "Since the Final Master has asked us to do it, then we will certainly not fear any enemy."
"You may not know this, but even in the Saint Region, cultivation techniques above the Heaven Tier are extremely rare, let alone the Emperor Tier, Saint Tier, or even..."
At this point, Lin Huai looked at his Lin Dong.
Lin Dong cultivates a God Tier technique.
If the immortal cultivation sects of the Saint Region knew of the existence of God Tier cultivation techniques, they would probably go crazy.
"I'm saying all this so you understand that our the Final Master is unfathomable. Even if he's from the Saint Region, we have nothing to fear. The Saint Region can't produce even a basic Saint Tier cultivation technique."
At this moment, Ye Chen said, "Furthermore, I've never heard of any cultivator who can carry a blessed land around with them. The Final Master's power is something we can't possibly comprehend."
"Moreover, we have a blessed land to protect us; even if we encounter danger, we can take refuge there."
"Building and Guard the sect is a test for us, the Final Master. We don't need to think too much about it; we just need to do our best and not disappoint the Final Master."
" The Heaven-Exploding Sect will surely resound throughout the entire Immortal Cultivation Realm in the future. We will deliver the first blow for the Heaven-Exploding Sect and announce to the world, ' The Heaven-Exploding Sect has arrived!'"
After Ye Chen finished speaking, he looked at Lin Huai and said, "Mr. Lin, you can make the arrangements from here on out!"
Ye Chen knew that although he had the highest cultivation level and was the Eldest Senior Brother, he was still somewhat lacking in age and experience.
Lin Huai was originally one of the Five Saints, a former royal retainer.
Not only is he experienced, but more importantly, he has come into contact with cultivators and understands the Immortal Cultivation Realm better than he does.
" Eldest Senior Brother, the Hundred Leaps Token that originally belonged to you should have arrived at the Hundred Leaps Sect by now, right?" Lin Huai asked with a smile.
"Hmm, we should be there soon!" A cold glint flashed in Ye Chen's eyes.
"Then Eldest Senior Brother, why don't you make a trip to the Hundred Leaps Sect?"
