Demon Sword Sect’s Undercover
Chapter 930 - 929: On the Right Track
CHAPTER 930: CHAPTER 929: ON THE RIGHT TRACK
Buildings can speak, they can gather a scattered group into a tall tower.
What means can be used to tightly gather these people under one belief? The Sword Sheath Ultimate Skill condenses the future, lasts long, requires dedication and cruelty, and also needs something that can rapidly boost morale.
They are all humans, not immortals, and at this stage they cannot avoid some temptations of the mortal world. Being suddenly thrown into an icy, snowy environment can cause a significant psychological gap for many, causing them to lose enthusiasm even before they come into contact with the Qingkong Sword Skill.
He doesn’t want to throw away the Sword Skill Cultivation Technique he obtained through painstaking effort as casually as tossing out cabbages. In such circumstances, the ice sculpture buildings of Martial Master play a crucial role in connecting the past with the future.
He wants to eliminate many people, but still does not wish to use such a method that tests human nature.
It was in this somewhat crude ice hall that the first high-level meeting after the relocation of the mountain gate was held, mainly attended by the Sect Hierarch and twelve Nascent Soul Masters, along with several experienced and senior old Elixirs. It was related to systemic layout of the Sword Skill Cultivation Techniques, which could not be taken lightly.
They needed to carefully study the contents of the Qingkong Sword Scabbard, then combine it with the actual cultivation situation of the Quanzhen Sect to judge which Sword Skill Cultivation Techniques could be accessed by those in the Tongtian Three Realms, which by those in the Golden Core Stage, and which were exclusive contents for the Nascent Soul Stage.
If he were an emissary from the Upper Realm like Yue Duo and others, he wouldn’t do this, wouldn’t put all the contents in at once, but would release them bit by bit to both gather interest and control the learning pace.
But his situation is different; he neither had in-depth understanding of the Qingkong Sword Vein system like Yue Duo nor needed to win people’s hearts through piecemeal feeding. His personal experience had already determined his position in the Shan Sect Quanzhen Sect. To squeeze out information drop by drop like squeezing feces would create a very bad impression, akin to charity, intending to turn the Quanzhen Sect into his personal power.
Therefore, by showcasing everything openly, he instead garnered admiration from the masters, making them feel that agreeing to this guy’s ascension might not be such a bad choice?
"Everything is here, the first thing we need to do is allocate the authority, set up the ways of merit recording, and sequence the Cultivation Techniques and Swordsmanship to make them feel hopeful, yet aware that these are things not easily obtained. They must feel real progress and have greater ambitions for the future. These things need to be put in a plan, then we’ll proceed to the next step..."
The Ice Hall began to bustle with arguments, quarrels, compromises, balances. Here, there is no division by realm, nor any distinction between old and young, truly embodying the atmosphere of a vigorous force.
A month later, the Quanzhen Sect made the first change to its main Cultivation Techniques, adding a main Cultivation Technique: the Chaos Heavenly Heart Strategy.
This is a Cultivation Technique that requires the Golden Core Realm to cultivate. It’s said the corresponding swordsmanship is from the Qingkong Sword Vein’s Killing Sword Lineage. When the news broke out, Tongtian disciples scratched their heads, while the Golden Core Upper Cultivators were in a flurry.
The former could only long for the new Cultivation Technique from afar, while the latter could actually access it, but needed to evaluate their merits. Their original merits could be used to offset, but greatly reduced. The intention of the higher-ups in the sect was clear, focusing more on the future rather than the past, making it difficult for the old cultivators resting on their laurels, forcing them to go out, or they’d miss out on the Upper Realm’s inheritance.
A month and a half later, the Qingkong version’s general Cultivation Technique was launched, the Six Meridians Huangting Decision, and Five Elements Shifting!
It was clearly stated above: the two main Cultivation Techniques may not necessarily be suitable for the Jinxiu Continent, because there isn’t a specific cultivation method for the Purple Mansion within, it can be referenced and decided upon independently!
This decision was made after fierce disputes among the masters; some held their ground unmoved, while others completely followed suit. After voting, considering that the future Jinxiu Continent will merge into the Universe Cultivation Realm decades later, amidst countless inevitable changes, this was the time to fully leverage the subjective initiative of the cultivators, so they decided on independent choice, survival of the fittest.
It may ruin many people, but could also see many geniuses emerge on their own paths.
This time, the Quanzhen Sect chose to be radical. They decided to encourage talent!
Two months later, the basic sword skills were introduced: Sky Jumping Killing Sword, Invisible Sword, Drawing Sword as Prison.
Gold Core upgrade swordsmanship was also introduced: Sword Light Division.
Dushan was boiling, a crowd gathered in front of the simple ice hall, with hundreds to thousands of people surrounding it daily, as this was temporarily the place where tasks were issued, and everyone was squeezing in, this determining when they could receive the Upper Realm’s true inheritance.
Flying freely with Sword Control like Sect Hierarch Hou is also the aspiration of everyone.
There is some chaos, injustice, and disputes may arise, but this is the pain of reform, it must be experienced once; with the strong control of cultivators and the passage of time, everything is gradually improving.
You can venture out for missions, engage in construction at the mountain gate, or organize the mountainous pile of internal affairs; with the mountain gate just built, there are many tasks, requiring manpower in all aspects. Under the stimulation of Cultivation Techniques and Swordsmanship, once thousands are sent out, they disappear without a trace.
Three months later, the state power was dismantled, the three divisions system abolished, and the Quanzhen Sect entered a pure cultivation management mode, with three halls set for vertical management.
The Ice and Snow Sword Pavilion, led by Hou Niao the Pavilion Master, manages the Nascent Soul Master level.
The Shaking Light Sword Palace, Palace Master Master Xu, Vice Palace Masters Master Shi, Master Yan, Master Quan, essentially one from each of the original three divisions, with an addition of the free-spirited Master Quan, balancing power to manage all Golden Core Sword Cultivators.
The Tongtian Sword Tower, headed by Li Chuping, with Yu Zhengxing and several others as Vice Palace Masters, managing the vast group of lower-tier cultivators in the Tongtian Three Realms.
As the mountain gate is newly established, completely breaking the old regulations, basic daily work such as arranging affairs and recording merits are temporarily handled by these three halls. Additional functional halls will be gradually added, like who issues missions, who determines merits, and who gives rewards among countless other issues.
Of course, the Tongtian Temple was the busiest, with Li Chuping and others so swamped they had no time to bother Sect Hierarch Hou.
Everything is still in the process of coordination, but whether it’s Li Chuping or Master Xu, they are skilled managers, not unfamiliar with such heavy responsibilities. Moreover, now the Quanzhen Sect no longer considers issues of connections and relationships, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can always get what you want.
Decay, mainly due to aging apparatus, insufficient supply, occupying a position without merit, people floating on jobs. When the brand new Quanzhen Sect restarted everything, although the process was inevitably bumpy and full of mistakes, everyone could feel the vitality emitting from this massive monster.
A vitality that shows hope, just based on this point alone, is enough.
No one doubts Sect Hierarch Hou’s radical actions anymore; when the change came, everything didn’t seem as bad as imagined.
All of this had nothing to do with Hou Niao, as he had even more important tasks.
