"Hahahaha..."

The six of them burst into laughter, "Brother Ye Mo, you misunderstood."

Ling Kong said, "In that case, let's go this way and find a place to chat."

He walked over without any guard, not even gathering his spiritual power, showing his absolute trust in this Night Demon.

The other five also chuckled.

Fang Che maintained his distance and followed them to the side, where there was cover. As they walked, Ling Kong explained, "Brother Ye, I won't hide it from you. Our purpose for coming here is twofold. First, we aim to obtain the qualifications for the Incubation to Divinity Program. Second, we carry a mission on our shoulders. Unlike you, who are from subordinate sects, our task is not as simple as just killing. The more we kill, the better!"

"But we are different. After a frenzy of slaughter, we need to consider our subsequent plans."

Ling Kong spoke with remarkable candor.

Fang Che frowned and asked, "Is it about factional struggles?"

"Exactly! Brother Ye Mo, you are indeed a smart man."

Ling Kong said, "It's as you said."

"Is it dangerous?"

Ling Kong couldn't help but laugh, "Of course it's dangerous!"

Fang Che fell silent, "Continue, please."

"To you, the headquarters might seem like just a headquarters, especially for someone like Brother Ye Mo, who is currently only at the General rank and from a subordinate sect. Naturally, what you see with your eyes is far less than what we have witnessed."

"But for us, who grew up in the headquarters, it's a different story."

Ling Kong explained, "The headquarters is too vast, so vast that it makes one feel infinitely small, yet it also inspires an infinite yearning to stand at the pinnacle of that grandeur."

"The headquarters has the Law Enforcement Platform, under which are various Law Enforcement Halls. There's also the Battle Arena, beneath which are numerous Battle Halls. As for logistics, finance, personnel, and so on, they may seem unrelated to combat, but every high-ranking elder in charge of these departments is an exceptional divine-level expert."

"There are those in charge of intelligence gathering, intelligence analysis, external planning, internal planning, overall coordination, regional management, weapon forging, supervision, and so on..."

Ling Kong had only explained a few departments, and his mouth was already foaming at the corners.

"There's also the Hall of Venerables, the Hall of Elders, the Hall of Guardians, and so on..."

"In short, everyone is vying for higher positions at all times, but at all times, there are also those who suffer setbacks."

Ling Kong continued, "Our mission, like that of countless others who have participated in the headquarters over the years, is to obtain qualifications, secure resources, cultivate influence, and gradually rise, with support from all sides!"

"We have grown up together since childhood and are quite familiar with each other. Therefore, we entered in batches, either earlier or later, to ensure that in the future, we can work together to achieve something."

Ling Kong spoke with sincerity.

Fang Che furrowed his brows in confusion, "But to do something, you don't need to be at the General rank, do you? That's too low a rank. What significant task can you accomplish?"

Ling Kong stared at Fang Che for a long moment before letting out a bitter laugh, "It seems you truly know nothing."

"What?"

"In our Only Me Sect, each person only has one chance to participate in the Incubation to Divinity Program!"

"Only by participating in the General rank Incubation to Divinity Program can one qualify for the King and Emperor rank programs, and then possibly join a specific department in the headquarters. After several rounds of such training, one may have a chance to become part of the upper echelon."

"The headquarters is filled with countless factions, entangled and intricate. Over ninety-nine percent of them were formed through the Incubation to Divinity Program!"

"For example, the Seal God Palace of your Unified Heart Sect. It was originally a branch of the Deputy Sect Master Chen's sect, but he is neither a direct disciple nor related by blood. He is just a disciple of a disciple of a disciple... He is worlds apart from Deputy Sect Master Chen."

"Don't even mention him. Even his master and their Patriarch, our Deputy Sect Master, have no connection! For a long time, Deputy Sect Master Chen had no idea that there was someone named Seal God Palace in his sect."

"How did he become the Sect Master of the Unified Heart Sect? It was his connections in the headquarters, formed during the Incubation to Divinity Program, that helped him step by step to reach the corresponding position, and only then did he gain the qualification to meet their Patriarch!"

"In other words, someone had to help him pave the way to meet the Patriarch!"

"Then, with a little push from Deputy Sect Master Chen, he became the Sect Master of the Unified Heart Sect, a powerful figure in charge of a vast territory!"

"Just like Seal God Palace, there are countless others in the headquarters. But what are they doing now? Some are minor advisors, while others run errands... They are scolded and beaten in the headquarters without daring to speak up. It's all about connections!"

"Or, they didn't perform well in the Incubation to Divinity Program."

"Even Seal God Palace only reached the General rank, participated in the Incubation to Divinity Program, and then endured several decades of hardship before making a name for himself and obtaining an important position! Only then did he begin to connect with his sect's patrons."

In the world of cultivation, connections were everything. For decades, he had been a loyal follower, and now, his value was finally recognized, and he was given a chance to prove himself.

"But this is not enough! We also need to connect with those familiar faces from the Incubation to Divinity Program at headquarters. With their help, we can achieve greater heights."

"This is not something we can dream of! To form alliances with such people is beyond our wildest imagination."

"Moreover, these connections will remain hidden for a period, allowing you to develop and rise through your abilities."

"This is how the world works. Even with the best connections, if you lack the capability, you will not reach the top. Your connections will look down upon you, so how can you aspire to hold office?"

"On the other hand, if you have the capability but lack connections, you will absolutely, absolutely, not reach the top. This is true in any world."

Ling Kong sighed lightly, and the seven of them sat in a circle, cross-legged, with tea in hand.

It seemed like a moment of tea appreciation and heart-to-heart conversation.

Fang Che silently savored the tea.

Bei Mingxin, the leader of the Only Me Sect, seemed to be smiling.

"You mentioned the General rank, but it's not of much use."

Ling Kong chuckled, "That statement is absolutely wrong."

"How so?"

"The General rank is of great use, especially for those who have participated in the Incubation to Divinity Program."

Ling Kong leisurely said, "The General rank is indeed useless. As for those who haven't participated in the program, they are of no use. They can't even become Hall Masters of the Unified Heart Sect because they haven't devoured the Five Spirit Toad. They can only be contacted through others and not directly."

"I see."

"If you were to become a Hall Master, would you have to ask the Hall Master for permission to contact them? Haha..."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Indeed, it was a bit of a sensitive matter.

"There are plenty of Kings, Generals, Emperors, and Sovereigns who have participated in the Incubation to Divinity Program. But, who can we dare to recruit?"

Ling Kong laughed, "Those who haven't been recruited by others are rare. If we bring them in, we might unknowingly invite a huge internal traitor. How can we manage that? Not only will we face unknown dangers, but we might also lose our lives without knowing why."

"We dare not."

"As for those who have gone through the Incubation to Divinity Program but remain alone, they are even less useful."

"Those who are not valued by others must have their flaws, or they are too stubborn to be of any use. Using them as enforcers would be too rough."

Ling Kong smiled helplessly, "As for us in the Third Battle Arena Hall, we are not exceptional among the descendants. But we must have our wits about us."

Fang Che sighed, "Hearing your words, I can't help but feel a sense of lament. Below, I look up to the headquarters, feeling as if it's high above the clouds, a divine life. I never imagined it to be as you described, making people feel awe and fear."

"Being high above the clouds is natural. But the scheming and maneuvering within, the terrifying waves and various traps... One wrong step, one wrong word, and there's no turning back."

"At the very least, it's a matter of decades before recovery."

Lu Yuan chimed in, "After saying so much, Ling Kong has indeed shown his sincerity. In my opinion, this is an opportunity for us six brothers and Night Demon Brother."

"The future is uncertain for anyone."

"Perhaps we won't even reach the level of our fathers and will fall midway."

"But after all, every high-level path starts from here."

Lu Yuan smiled at Fang Che, "Night Demon Brother, what are your thoughts?"

Fang Che asked, "If we were to include Night Demon Brother, how many would there be?"

Lu Yuan fell silent.

This question wasn't for him to answer.

Although he knew, such core secrets should be answered by the leader.

Indeed, Ling Kong said, "If we include Night Demon Brother, there are currently twelve. I don't know how many of you twelve will survive the hunt and walk out alive in the latter half of the month. So, I don't know the final number."

Fang Che nodded, "I understand."

"Then, if we were to cooperate, how would we do so?" Fang Che asked, having learned a lot.

Ling Kong's words were all truthful.

Fang Che could tell.

Seeing Night Demon's relaxed expression, Ling Kong and the others were excited.

Having contacted so many people, the most valuable connection was this Night Demon, who had snatched the Water Cloud Heaven Fruit from Yan Beihan!
