Unable to Recruit Disciples, the Heavenly Revelation Sect Must Reform
Inside the Heavenly Revelation Sect of the Tianqi Sect.
Sect Leader Lin Nan sat in the main seat, with the ten elders standing on either side. The air was thick with the fragrance of sandalwood, creating a solemn atmosphere.
Lin Nan's gaze swept over the elders below, and he said in a deep voice:
"Gentlemen, the people who went to the Jin State to hold the Immortal Ascension Conference and recruit disciples have returned. This time, they only managed to recruit 176 people."
He paused, his tone filled with suppressed anxiety:
"Our Heavenly Revelation Sect has repeatedly failed to recruit more than two hundred disciples."
If this continues, the sect will face a shortage of successors and will eventually be left without anyone to carry on the legacy!
Gentlemen, does anyone have a solution to break this deadlock?
Upon hearing this, the hall fell into a deathly silence.
The elders all had furrowed brows and worried expressions.
They were well aware of this predicament.
Whether or not one joins a sect is always a matter of mutual consent; one can't simply take a sword and forcibly seize a disciple.
Moreover, before the emergence of Fairness System, the number of disciples recruited each year was only this many.
Song Wei spoke first, "Sect Leader, you are wise. In fact, the number of disciples recruited this time is almost the same as in the past."
What's even more remarkable is that this batch of new disciples all possess Heavenly Spirit Root aptitude; in terms of quality, they far surpass those of previous generations.
Upon hearing this, Lin Nan frowned even more deeply and said in a deep voice, "This is an era of great contention, where everyone can cultivate."
If my Heavenly Revelation Sect continues to recruit the same number of disciples, it will inevitably decline sooner or later.
Right now, even the disciples who can operate the Spiritual Qi Conversion Grand Formation are almost gone. The most urgent task is to increase the number of disciples.
Song Wei looked troubled and sighed helplessly, "But now there is Fairness System, so people can cultivate on their own even if they don't join a sect."
Not to mention that Dao Seed Martial Dao System.
Although this system is not yet perfect, its advantages are already obvious, and it even shows signs of surpassing the Immortal Cultivation System.
Furthermore, the emergence of unparalleled geniuses like Liu Yi, who suppressed the world and inspired countless people to worship him,
Due to the influence of such celebrities, many people with Heavenly Spirit Root have also switched to Dao Seed Martial Dao System.
Lan Sheng quickly nodded in agreement. "Yes! We are now in the era of systems, and the landscape of cultivation has long since changed."
The difficulty in recruiting disciples Non-Self Heavenly Revelation Sect; it is a common predicament for all major sects in the cultivation Immortal Realm.
Even worse, those small sects have already run out of disciples, and it won't be long before they end up disbanding.
Wang Bo's face was grim, his tone filled with helplessness and heartache:
"Does our Heavenly Revelation Sect also end up like those small sects, disbanding in the future?"
Lan Sheng shook his head and retorted, "There's no need to worry about that. Not everyone wants to cultivate the Dao Seed Martial Dao System; some people are still drawn to the Immortal Cultivation System."
Moreover, our Heavenly Revelation Sect possesses a vast amount of Cultivation Resources, and there is absolutely no way we would disband like those small sects.
The most urgent task is to find a way to attract those who yearn for cultivation to our sect.
Lin Nan gave Lan Sheng an approving look and nodded, saying, "Elder Lan is right."
With such a large population, there must be many who want to pursue the path of cultivation. The difficulty lies in how to get them to join a sect.
He paused slightly, then continued, "In the past, people would fight tooth and nail to join our Heavenly Revelation Sect; but now, we are the ones who want others to join our sect."
Therefore, if a sect wants people to genuinely join, it must show utmost sincerity!
We can no longer treat our disciples like cattle and horses, driving them around at will.
We must implement sweeping reforms to create core advantages unique to the Heavenly Revelation Sect.
Otherwise, if joining a sect makes no difference, and one is even exploited after joining, who would willingly join?
If things continue like this, the sect's decline is an inevitable outcome!
As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Sheng immediately echoed loudly, "What the sect leader says is absolutely right!"
I've felt this way for a long time. The old system of the sect is no longer keeping up with the pace of the new era. It has to be changed!
If this drags on any longer, decline is only a matter of time.
Take the Immortal Rosy Cloud Sect for example; they're doing exceptionally well now.
They operate their sect using a commercial model, and their speed in responding to changes is unparalleled.
They initially planned to take 70% of the revenue from the livestreaming disciples, but after realizing this was inappropriate, they immediately reduced it to 30%.
I am not suggesting that our Heavenly Revelation Sect copy their commercial model, but rather that we learn from their swift and decisive response mechanism.
We must never again act like an old ox pulling a broken cart, slow and haphazard.
Only by anticipating changes and daring to innovate can we keep pace with this rapidly evolving world.
Song Wei nodded and echoed in a deep voice, "I agree!"
The sect system has indeed reached a point where it absolutely must be reformed. We can no longer treat lower-ranking disciples like cattle and horses; we must significantly improve their treatment.
Take our sect's current benefits for example, to be honest, if it were me, I wouldn't want to join either!
Even Wang Bo, who is usually the most conservative, surprisingly relented at this moment, looking completely in agreement:
"I also think that the system absolutely must be changed."
Otherwise, our Heavenly Revelation Sect will inevitably fall behind in this era of great strife, and may even be completely eliminated!
The other elders echoed this sentiment earnestly:
"That's absolutely true! Our Heavenly Revelation Sect has now reached a point where change is absolutely necessary."
If we stick to the old ways, even if we manage to survive in the future, it will only be a matter of prolonging our lives.
"If we want our sect to truly thrive, we must be willing to relinquish some of our interests."
Seeing that all the elders agreed to the reform, Lin Nan's tense expression finally relaxed, and a smile appeared on his lips.
He could have forcefully pushed this through using his authority as sect leader, but gaining the approval and cooperation of everyone would undoubtedly make the reform run more smoothly.
"Alright! Since everyone agrees, the reform is hereby settled."
Besides improving the treatment of your disciples, do you have any other good ideas?
Song Wei was the first to speak up and offer a suggestion, "I propose that the disciples who operate the Spiritual Qi Conversion Grand Formation within the sect should not be limited to those with Heavenly Spirit Root."
Regardless of their cultivation aptitude, everyone must operate the formation.
Only in this way can fairness be demonstrated and all disciples be convinced.
After all, with the advent of Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root, the level of one's cultivation aptitude is actually not that important.
Lan Sheng nodded upon hearing this, and then added, "Not only that, all disciples who participate in operating the Spiritual Qi Conversion Grand Formation should be given Energy Points as a reward."
We must never let them toil in vain, sacrificing themselves like cattle and horses for nothing!
Lin Nan nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of approval. "The two elders' suggestion is feasible!"
We will discuss the specific implementation details later.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Upon hearing this, the hall fell silent.
The elders all frowned, racking their brains, but could not come up with any more innovative solutions for the time being.
Lan Sheng was racking his brains when suddenly his eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh:
"I've got it! Why don't we ask Qian Duoduo for advice?"
That kid has a sharp eye for business; he can always accurately seize opportunities.
Perhaps he can show us the way forward.
Upon hearing this, Song Wei slammed his hand on the table and loudly echoed:
"Oh right! How could I forget about that unscrupulous merchant?"
He is a candidate for Holy Son of our Heavenly Revelation Sect, and it is only right that he contributes to the sect.
