Ye Ting didn't stop; his hand seals changed again, and he shouted two words in a deep voice, "Open—Clan Register." Whoosh
The family genealogy fluttered in the air, the map of the territory above slowly receded, and an endless golden scroll descended from the dome. The scroll was densely filled with the names of the registered members of the Holy Clan. The millions of names intertwined to form a magnificent light curtain, covering the entire hall with an aura of grandeur.
Ye Ting reported in a calm voice, "As of the time of Master's return, the total number of members of the Holy Clan who are registered in the orthodox family genealogy and are under the clan's rule and protection is over 127 million."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhanxiao was greatly shocked, and Yuan Xuangu also looked up and stared straight ahead, his aged eyes filled with astonishment. This enormous size far Annihilation God Clan could command; the difference was enormous.
Ye Ting remained calm as he continued to dissect the clan's structure, "The ordinary clansmen and disciples cultivating at various levels total over 110 million, forming the foundation of the clan. All disciples are documented according to their territory, cultivation level, age, and faction. Their residence, affiliation, resources, and authority are all traceable, without any omissions."
As he raised his hand, the second layer of the golden scroll unfolded. "There are over 1.4 million stewards who oversee the operation of all cities, palaces, and temples across the region. They are divided into various positions such as chief steward, main city steward, and resource steward, each with their own responsibilities and powers, without any redundancy or unnecessary complications."
The third layer of golden scrolls lit up, revealing the core strength of the clan. "The clan has over 100,000 elders, most of whom guard various main cities, territories, and dojos, responsible for maintaining stability and education; only a handful can reside in the central holy city to participate in the clan's core decision-making."
"In addition, the clan has its own dedicated system," Ye Ting continued, "There are clan guards patrolling the entire territory, external affairs cultivators connecting to the outside world, and guardians protecting the forbidden treasure vault. Each job is independently documented and managed in a hierarchical manner, making the system extremely rigorous."
As the explanations were given, the golden scrolls in the sky automatically split open, clearly distinguishing the six major systems: disciples, deacons, elders, clan guards, external affairs, and lineage guardians, making information from all sides readily available.
Yuan Zhanxiao fell completely silent, his heart still reeling from the shock. He finally understood why the Holy Clan possessed such a vast and majestic presence that overlooked the heavens and the earth. Their 127 million orthodox members had long since broken through the narrow confines of sects and aristocratic families, constructing a complete civilizational order that covered endless mountains and rivers.
Ordinary top-tier forces ultimately rely on a few core members to inherit and operate, thus limiting their scope. In contrast, the Holy Clan, with its hundreds of cities guarding its territory, clear hierarchy, hundreds of millions of clansmen operating in an orderly manner, and millions of core personnel maintaining stability across the entire domain, employs hierarchical control and governance, reporting only the Ultimate matters to the central government. It is already the prototype of a vast imperial dynasty. Although its foundation is not as Lineage, it is enough to surpass the hundreds of millions of Lineage in the entire Eternal Nonexistence Limitless Domain.
Even Yuan Xuangu, who had witnessed countless ages and the rise and fall of great clans, was deeply moved by this profound foundation. The Holy Clan, with over a hundred million registered members, was far superior to most forces in the Eternal Nonexistence Limitless Domain. In comparison, the Annihilation God Clan's advantage of fifty million members vanished, and the difference in strength was immediately apparent.
Although Ye Ting saw the shock in the two men, he did not underestimate them, knowing that they were deeply trusted by Qin Yu and their identities were extraordinary. He turned and bowed respectfully to Qin Yu: "Master, the above is only the clan structure and clan register details. The clan's strength iterations, cultivator reserves, resource reserves, accumulation of the nine treasure troves, and gains from secret realms over the past three years have all been recorded in the clan register and are verifiable."
Qin Yu stood quietly in the center of the hall, looking up at the golden scrolls and the vast territory. His gaze swept from the core of the holy city to the outer borders and thousands of dojos, his eyes filled with genuine admiration. Three years ago, he entrusted him with a great mission, and three years later, Ye Ting returned to him a prosperous Holy Clan with a vast territory, a perfect system, and hundreds of millions of loyal followers.
Yuan Zhanxiao and Yuan Xuangu stood aside, their minds shaken once again. Only now did they fully realize that the power their master wielded was far more vast, powerful, and deeply rooted than they had ever seen.
Inside the patriarch's main hall, the Holy Clan's genealogy, suspended high in the sky, was still slowly turning. The names of more than 127 million clansmen were transformed into a long golden scroll that stretched from above the central seat to all four sides of the hall, with each layer of clan records echoing the Holy Clan's territory.
Before Qin Yu could recover from the sheer scale of the event, Ye Ting had already formed hand seals once more, and a powerful Fate Soul seal rose from his palms and sank deep into the family genealogy.
Whoosh--
The countless family registers then parted to both sides, clearing out an area in the center of the hall. Deep within the family registers, a batch of pages with even deeper colors turned on their own; as Ye Ting's fingertips lightly touched them, three layers of radiance—dark blue, silver-white, and dark gold—rose from between the pages, each condensing into a magnificent scroll in the sky above the hall.
Compared to the vast list of names of hundreds of millions of clansmen before, the names on these three scrolls are much sparser. However, when each name appears, faint traces of the Dao foundation of that person will naturally ripple around it.
Ye Ting's expression was solemn as he pointed to the first azure scroll. "Master, this records all the current Mystic Void Realm cultivators of the Holy Clan." "After three years of reorganization, the clan currently has over 1.86 million Mystic Void Realm cultivators."
Yuan Zhanxiao's gaze suddenly froze, Yuan Xuangu's fingers, which had been resting on his sleeve, also paused slightly. One million eight hundred and sixty thousand!
Ye Ting did not stop. The long scroll of Xuanqing slowly unfolded in his palm, and countless names flowed out in all directions according to their respective territories. "Among these Mystic Void Realm cultivators, about 40% are stationed in 360 large cultivation dojos and 72 core cultivation holy sites, in charge of the inheritance of the lineage, protecting the secret realms, and cultivating the next generation;
The other three are responsible for guarding 108 directly subordinate major cities and 32 core major cities; the rest are assigned to the clan guard, foreign affairs, resource territories, and various halls in the central holy city. Normally, they are not all gathered together, but in the event of a crisis within the clan, cultivators at the Profound Mystic Void Realm can be dispatched from various locations to provide assistance in the shortest possible time.
As soon as Ye Ting finished speaking, the azure scroll slowly rose, and the second silver-white scroll unfolded in the same manner. The atmosphere inside the hall also became heavy.
"True Annihilation Realm." Ye Ting raised his eyes to look at the long scroll. "Currently, there are over 270,000 True Annihilation Realm individuals officially recorded in the Holy Clan's genealogy."
This time, Yuan Zhanxiao no longer concealed the shock in his eyes. Two hundred and seventy thousand True Annihilation Realm cultivators, placed among the vast clan of over one hundred and twenty-seven million, is not an exaggerated proportion. But to bring all two hundred and seventy thousand True Annihilation Realm cultivators under one clan's command is a feat that is enough to shake the universe.
Ye Ting continued his report, "The largest number of True Annihilation Realm · Initial Stage to advanced stages, who mostly guard the middle-level territories, core cities, and key cultivation sites of the Holy Clan; the experts at the Ultimate and Supreme levels are mainly stationed at the twelve top-tier resource centers, the central Holy City, the clan's forbidden areas, and various treasure troves. Another group travels extensively, not involved in daily clan affairs, and is solely responsible for patrolling the Holy Clan's outer territories."
The silver-white scroll slowly unfurled to both sides, with the last piece of dark gold scroll descending from the dome. Only a handful of names remained on this scroll, yet Yuan Zhanxiao and Yuan Xuangu's gazes grew increasingly solemn.
The Eternal Silence Realm —the very pillars that support a vast clan— Ye Ting's voice deepened. "The clan currently has over six thousand seven hundred people at the Eternal Silence Realm."
Yuan Zhanxiao's eyes twitched slightly, and even Yuan Xuangu took a deep breath at this moment. More than 6,700 Eternal Silence Realm!
These six thousand-plus people were not all stationed in the Central Holy City. The dark gold scroll slowly unfurled, revealing names scattered throughout the Holy Clan's territory: the vast majority guarding the Central Ancestral Land, the eight Inner Domain Main Cities, the thirty-two Core Cities, and the twenty-four Large Closed-Door Territories;
Each of the twelve highest-level resource strongholds is permanently guarded by a powerful expert at the Eternal Silence Realm; the remaining individuals serve as high-ranking elders of the Holy Clan, guardians of various lineages, and commanders of the core clan guards.
Ye Ting slowly said, "Among the more than 6,700 people, the largest number are at the Eternal Silence Realm Initial Stage, decreasing progressively from the high stage. Those who can reach the Ultimate and the Supreme are the absolute core of the entire Holy Clan. Unless there is an earth-shattering event, most of them are in seclusion to cultivate and will not be easily mobilized."
Qin Yu gazed silently at the long, dark gold scroll. This was the foundation upon which the Holy Clan of over 127 million people were supported: over 1.86 million in the Mystic Void Realm, over 270,000 in the True Annihilation Realm, and over 6,700 in the Eternal Silence Realm.
From the outer, directly subordinate major cities, the Holy City gradually converges towards the central city. Each territory is guarded by cultivators of the corresponding realm. The entire Holy Clan has transformed into a colossal and terrifying foundation of Fate Soul: hundreds of millions of race members form the foundation, millions of Xuan Mystic Void maintain it in the center, hundreds of thousands of True Annihilation support the four directions of the territory, and thousands of Eternal Silence guard the most core lifeline of the race.
Yuan Zhanxiao and Yuan Xuangu remained silent for a long time. When they first glimpsed the more than 127 million registered clansmen, they were already deeply shocked; now, witnessing this entire high-level combat power system, they finally understood that the strength of the Holy Clan was not simply due to the sheer number of its members. It possessed a foundation of powerful individuals commensurate with the size of its territory.
Yuan Zhanxiao gazed at the list of names filled with dark gold, silently assessing the strength of the Annihilation God Clan. The Annihilation God Clan had risen rapidly in the past three years, even surpassing the ancient Ancient God Clan during its turbulent decline, but compared to the Holy Clan before him, there was still a significant gap.
Ye Ting's hand seals changed again. "Master, there are still clan resources." Boom!
Three long scrolls recording the names of the strongest slowly rose into the high sky, and the family genealogy continued to unfold. At that moment, the sacred runes covering the hall floor lit up simultaneously. One after another, miniature landscapes rose from within the family genealogy.
Ninety-six resource territories floated throughout the main hall, with twelve core territories shrouded in a thick layer of dark gold radiance. Mountains, valleys, mineral veins, ancient ruins, fragmented star landmasses, and underground primordial rivers manifested one by one, fully displaying the vast resources accumulated by the Holy Clan over the past three years before Qin Yu's eyes.
Ye Ting raised his hand and pointed, and the first thing to light up was eighteen large resource territories. "Energy crystals are one of the most consumed basic resources of the Holy Clan." "They are mined year-round in the eighteen main production areas, plus the proceeds from trade with major trading cities outside the region."
After deducting the losses from three years of training the clansmen and maintaining the sacred cultivation grounds and territories, the nine main treasure vaults still hold over 860 million top-grade energy crystals; the remaining energy crystals of other grades are stored in various main cities and resource vaults, in even greater quantities.
