It has been several days since I returned from the sea.
Myriad Phenomena Hall
Numerous lights and colors converged within, jointly supporting the many Nascent Soul and Golden Core True Person within the hall.
True Lord Qingchen, True Lord Jihai, and True Lord Ling Yuan sat in a row at the head of the table. Below them was True Jade Spring Dao Child, the True Lord Xuhong of Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal. Then came Nascent Soul cultivators such as Shenyang Zhanlu, followed by the Golden Core True Person.
True Lord Qingchen surveyed the crowd of cultivators in the hall, their presence grand and imposing. He sighed slightly and said, "Since our ancestor, Master Jade Spring High Person, founded our sect, it is only through the diligent efforts of generations of predecessors that our sect has achieved its current grandeur."
"All of this is thanks to Dao Child True Lord Xuhong!"
Upon hearing this, all the cultivators turned their gazes toward him, their eyes filled with reverence.
Chen Shuangbai simply responded with a smile.
Feiguang stood behind him, motionless, like a silent statue.
Everyone knows that the young sword immortal played a crucial role in the Jade Spring Sect's rise from a mid-tier sect to a top-tier power in the country in just a few decades.
True Lord Qingchen continued, "I have summoned you all here today to discuss the matter of establishing a branch sect at sea!"
This matter had already spread throughout the sect in the past few days.
Not only were the disciples within the sect overjoyed, but the Jade Spring Dharma Lineage throughout the Jing Kingdom were also quite delighted.
after all.
Although the main Jade Spring Sect still needs a large number of cultivators and mortals to migrate there with them this time to establish a branch sect in the sea.
Although the main branch of the sect is prestigious, the fact that branch sects have been established from scratch means there are plenty of opportunities to stand out.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for cultivators whose current cultivation level is still low but who want to climb higher!
"This concerns not only our sect's standing in the maritime cultivation world, but also the trajectory of our sect's fortunes for the next few hundred years."
"Therefore, after discussion among myself, my junior brother Jihai, my junior sister Ling Yuan, and Xuhong Dao Child, we have decided to entrust this matter entirely to True Person Yuchuan."
Among the cultivators below.
True Person Yuchuan, Ding Chengyu, stood up without the slightest surprise on his face. Facing the fervent gazes of the assembled cultivators, he cupped his hands and said, "This matter concerns the fate of our sect, Yuchuan will certainly not fail the sect's trust."
Ding Chengyu's ability to handle mundane affairs is undoubtedly the strongest and most proficient in the entire Jade Spring Sect.
The Nascent Soul True Lord at the head of the table, being Nascent Soul, would never stoop to arguing with those minor cultivators. Entrusting this matter to True Person Yuchuan is the most appropriate course of action.
True Lord Qingchen continued, "The location for the branch sect has been decided as the [ Silken Gauze Archipelago ]. Canxia Gongshen has been ordered to go to the islands to protect the first batch of disciples who arrive there, and to carry out large-scale construction on the islands, building palaces and pavilions, and opening up Spirit Vein."
"As for the name of this branch, we have already discussed and decided on the name [ Spirit Sea Prefecture ]."
"The position of Lord of the Palace will be held by True Lord Ling Yuan, with True Lord Canxia serving as an honorific and joining the Spirit Sea Prefecture together. True Person Yuchuan will only be responsible for establishing branch sects, and will remain in the main sect after this matter is resolved."
Upon hearing this, all the cultivators in the hall nodded in approval.
Since it's a branch clan, using "clan" as the name might dilute the prestige of the main clan, but using "prefecture" would be much better.
True Lord Qingchen raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and continued, " The Spirit Sea Branch Sect has just been established, and everything is in need of rebuilding. It is precisely at this time that we need manpower... Your disciples or your Lineage can all participate in this matter."
"But I, the sect leader, only emphasize one thing!"
The hall fell silent.
With a mere blink of his eyes, the Jade Spring Sect Master exuded the imposing aura of Nascent Soul True Lord, and declared in a deep voice, "Those who go to the branch sect at sea will have their names removed from the sect's register and will be relocated to the branch sect's register."
"And it can only be voluntary, not forced, otherwise... the swords of the Evil Hunting Hall are not blind."
Upon hearing this, all the cultivators were awestruck and replied in unison, "We will obey the sect's decree!"
True Lord Qingchen nodded in satisfaction, his imposing aura softening somewhat, and his tone becoming gentler. "The sea is rich, but it is ultimately a branch sect, naturally inferior to the main sect. However, this is also an opportunity."
"Gentlemen, seize this opportunity!"
These words made the eyes of those Golden Core True Person flicker.
After all the cultivators had left.
Only four people remained in the hall: Qingchen, Jihai, Ling Yuan, Xuhong, and Yuchuan.
True Person Yuchuan Ding Chengyu sat at the lower end, facing Chen Shuangbai. He heard True Lord Qingchen at the upper end instructing him, " Yuchuan, you have worked hard in overseeing the establishment of the branch sect."
"Once this matter is resolved, the sect will naturally bestow upon you an fortuitous opportunity, which will certainly not hinder your cultivation."
Ding Chengyu simply bowed and said, "Everything is for the benefit of the sect; Yuchuan will certainly fulfill his duties."
True Lord Qingchen continued, "I am pleased that you think this way... but once you take this position, those Golden Core True Person, as well as sect lineages and affiliated cultivation Lineage, will all come to you for leniency. We cannot break the rules."
After Ding Chengyu agreed, he left the hall.
Only four Nascent Soul remained in the hall.
Watching Senior Brother Ding's departing figure, Chen Shuangbai sighed, "Putting everything else aside, Senior Brother Ding is indeed adept at handling worldly affairs. We've benefited a lot from him over the years."
"The sect cannot be stingy about this."
True Lord Qingchen rolled his eyes at his Dao Child and said with displeasure, "Do you need to tell me this?"
He turned to look at Ling Yuan and said, "Junior Sister, the Spirit Sea Prefecture will need you to oversee it from now on. With Canxia Uncle Canxia by your side, I doubt anyone will dare to bully our branch sect."
True Lord Ling Yuan was initially in high spirits, but upon hearing the name True Lord Canxia, he frowned slightly and said, "Senior brother, actually, we don't need this old man; junior sister can protect the Spirit Sea Prefecture."
True Lord Qingchen shook his head slightly and said, "Uncle-Master Canxia said he's worried."
True Lord Ling Yuan pursed his lips and muttered, "He's not at ease?"
"He was worried, why did he...?"
Upon hearing this, True Lord Jihai felt a slight headache.
The estrangement between Ling Yuan and Canxia, father and daughter, began with Canxia's wife, Ling Yuan's mother.
When Ling Yuan was in his mother's womb, due to her constitution, only one child could be saved if she were to give birth... The loving wife, Canxia, refused to let her risk her life to give birth and wanted her wife, True Person Yuanxin, to have the baby.
But True Person Yuanxin refused. While True Lord Canxia was out searching for spiritual resources, she left a letter and returned to the sea, where she gave birth to Ling Yuan.
Before her death, she met the master of the three of them True Lord Yanya, and entrusted the infant Ling Yuan to her, explaining her origins and the child's background.
After raising True Lord Ling Yuan True Lord Yanya many years, he sent a letter to True Lord Canxia informing him of the matter once Lingyuan Zhenjun had come of age.
When Canxia first learned that she had a daughter, her feelings were extremely complicated.
The departure of his beloved wife left him heartbroken for many years. Therefore, he could not accept Ling Yuan's existence for a while, nor did he dare to visit his daughter immediately. This matter also caused a knot in True Person Mei's heart at that time.
This was originally a wrongful debt, and it could only be resolved by the father and daughter themselves.
certainly.
This matter was also obtained by True Lord Canxia from True Lord Qingchen in private.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Chen Shuangbai spoke up to smooth things over, "Uncle-Master Ling Yuan, Grandmaster Canxia meant well."
"The sea is unpredictable, and with this old man, a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator, providing support, there's always an extra layer of protection."
He paused, smiled slightly, and said in a more relaxed tone, "If my uncle really finds him annoying, he can just leave him in the most remote corner of the branch sect and let him have some peace and quiet."
Upon hearing this, True Lord Ling Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing and said, "That's settled then."
