Spirit Roots Are Not the Standard
"Gentlemen, what do you mean by this?"
Cui Yan had actually prepared for all sorts of situations.
But the scene before him still left him at a loss.
Because none of these ten or so people are simple.
Even if only one of these ten or so people is someone Cui Yan knows, it would still be the same.
He never imagined that someone like him would one day kneel before him.
But this actually happened.
Cui Yan quickly stepped forward and helped the person in the middle to their feet.
"Sect Leader Yun, what exactly happened? Why are you doing this?"
This man was none other than Yun Fan, the sect leader of the Qianyuan Sect!
The person Cui Yan could only watch from afar was now kneeling before him.
You must know that the other party is the sect leader of the Qianyuan Sect, a top sect in the Southern Frontier!
Yun Fan, who was helped up, had a wry smile on his face.
"Sect Leader Cui, from now on, the Qianyuan Sect will definitely follow the lead of the Azure Cloud Sect. We humbly request that you put in a good word for us before Protector Yi!"
Upon hearing this, the people around Yun Fan introduced themselves and asked Cui Yan to put in a good word for them with Yi Xuan.
Cui Yan felt as if he were dreaming.
Being surrounded by the sect leaders of more than a dozen top sects in the Southern Frontier was a treatment he could never have imagined in his wildest dreams.
But now it has become a reality.
The three elders behind him also looked on in disbelief.
What's going on? Was it really Yi Xuan's doing?
At the same time, a sound of flight streaked across the sky.
Looking up, the objects in the sky looked very familiar to the people of the Azure Cloud Sect.
It was Yi Xuan's Firmament.
As the Firmament slowly descended, Yi Xuan's figure finally appeared before everyone.
"Junior Brother Yi?"
After greeting Yi Xuan, Cui Yan looked at the group of sect leaders surrounding him with a troubled expression.
Unexpectedly, the moment these sect leaders heard Cui Yan speak, they all vanished from his side.
They all gathered around Yi Xuan, and some even knelt down on the ground.
This really startled Yi Xuan.
Completely astonished, Yi Xuan turned around and asked, "What's going on?"
Only then did everyone realize that there was actually someone following behind Yi Xuan.
This person's attire was very strange; the clothes he wore seemed to belong to another era, giving him a very odd appearance.
The dozen or so sect leaders in front of Yi Xuan immediately took a few steps back the moment they saw that person.
Their clothing and appearance were completely familiar to them, even though the others had never seen them before.
Or rather, it's something that's all too familiar to most sects in the Southern Frontier today.
This person's attire was exactly the same as those Loose Immortal who had attacked their sect; they were clearly from the same group.
These sect leaders have been tormented to the point of near death by the Loose Immortal immortals who have invaded their sects.
Seeing someone dressed the same way now naturally fills me with dread.
The man behind Yi Xuan chuckled and said, "It's all thanks to the orders from the Venerable Yuan, who commanded us to help you take over the Southern Frontier in the shortest possible time. So, the brothers went a bit overboard, hehe!"
Yi Xuan was speechless after hearing this.
Judging from the state of these sect leaders, it's not just that you were a little ruthless; you've scared them out of their wits.
However, there are also advantages to doing this.
At the very least, Venerable Yuan's method was indeed very time-saving.
Looking at the state of the sect leaders before him, Yi Xuan knew that his next plan should not have too many problems.
Thus, at Yi Xuan's request...
Cui Yan quickly arranged for his disciples to go down the mountain and bring up all the high-ranking members of the Azure Cloud Sect who had come to visit.
Half an hour later, almost all the sect leaders of the major sects in the entire Southern Frontier gathered in the main hall of the Azure Cloud Sect.
Cui Yan and the three elders could only stand in a slightly lower position at this moment.
The original position of sect leader was now occupied by Yi Xuan and the person who had always followed behind him.
"Cough cough!"
With Yi Xuan's soft cough, the entire hall fell silent.
All eyes were on Yi Xuan.
"Everyone, I'm sure you all know who I am, so I won't introduce myself here!"
The faces of everyone below darkened upon hearing Yi Xuan's words.
Isn't that obvious? If it weren't for this guy, why would those Loose Immortal have come knocking on our door?
Ignoring what the others were thinking, Yi Xuan continued speaking.
"I believe everyone here has received the Mystic Gate's order. In short, from this day forward, the entire Southern Frontier is under my command Yi Xuan's!"
After speaking, Yi Xuan glanced at the crowd below.
Surprisingly, there wasn't a single hint of opposition on anyone's face.
It's no wonder, considering the lesson they learned from the Loose Immortal; how could they dare to resist now?
"Now, I have a few things to announce!"
Yi Xuan looked down at the many powerful figures who had once dominated the Southern Frontier and spoke.
"Starting today, I will promote the things from the Xia Kingdom throughout the entire Southern Frontier!"
Nowadays, things from the Xia Kingdom have long been spread throughout the Southern Frontier through various channels.
Therefore, when Yi Xuan this, many sect leaders understood Yi Xuan meaning to varying degrees.
In their view, Yi Xuan's request seemed somewhat unnecessary.
Despite the fact that technological products from the Xia Kingdom are now ubiquitous in the Southern Frontier, in essence, these things have no effect on cultivators.
Even if Yi Xuan didn't say anything, they would still continue as before.
"Secondly, I want to establish a new type of school throughout Southern Frontier!"
In fact, Yi Xuan originally intended to say "university," but he was worried that many sect leaders would not understand what a university was, so he simply called it "school."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of many sect leaders instantly turned ugly.
There weren't any schools or anything like that.
After all, they were very familiar with the schools in mortal countries.
Now that Yi Xuan has gained control of the entire Southern Frontier with the help of the Mystic Gate, will the school he wants to build be just an ordinary school?
Since it's not ordinary, the people it recruits must be ordinary people with high Spirit Root.
There are only so many ordinary people with Spirit Root in the entire Southern Frontier. If all the good ones are recruited by Yi Xuan, wouldn't their sects only be left with the bad ones?
If this continues, the numerous sects in the Southern Frontier will inevitably decline.
Although I understand this principle, now that I'm under your roof, I have no choice but to do whatever Yi Xuan says.
However, some bolder individuals still took the initiative to ask.
"Protector Yi, what kind of students does the school you mentioned intend to enroll? Why don't you tell us? We can share your concerns!"
How could Yi Xuan not see through the other party's little scheme?
It seems these people are indeed worried that Yi Xuan will compete with them for disciples with high cultivation aptitude.
Thinking of this, Yi Xuan smiled slightly, "I want someone smart!"
"Smart?"
For cultivators, intelligence has never been the most important thing, so everyone was taken aback when they suddenly heard Yi Xuan make such a request.
Yi Xuan then added, "I know your concerns! But you can rest assured, the people I want are completely different from what you want. Spirit Root are not the criterion I use to select people!"
