Chapter 90: The Development of Moonseizing Sect (Part 1)
Chapter 90: The Development of Moonseizing Sect (Part 1)
In the late hours, they gathered at Cloud Heaven Valley to take action.
After discussing the specifics, the Great Elder immediately set out to work.
This task was not difficult.
With his current strength nearing the second level of the Fifth Firmament Profound Realm, capturing some first and second stage demons and setting up a formation to trap them in a mountain was an effortless task.
It is worth mentioning that Su Xinghai's strength growth was also quite impressive.
Although it seemed like a long time had passed, he had yet to break through to the second level of the Fifth Firmament Realm.
However, the higher the cultivation level of an immortal cultivator, the slower their progress becomes; this is an ancient and unchanging rule.
At the Fifth Firmament Realm, ordinary cultivators may take several years or even over a decade to break through a minor realm, which is already considered 'quite fast'.
After all, Fifth Firmament Realm cultivators can already live for nearly ten thousand years. If their talent and cultivation techniques allow them to continue breaking through, not to mention a minor realm every decade or so, even if it takes them several decades or centuries to advance a minor realm, they can still endure it.
The Great Elder's talent was not particularly strong, just at the Human Rank, second only to the Upper, Middle, and Lower grades.
Under the current conditions, reaching the Fifth Firmament Realm and almost crossing a minor realm in less than a year is already a remarkable feat.
Of course, this is also thanks to the development of the Moonseizing Sect.
The sect's primordial spirit energy is denser, and Xiao Ling'er's high-quality pills can be continuously consumed...
Although this is mainly due to external forces, it is not something to be ashamed of.
Wealth, Law, Companionship, and Land.
Wealth is used to obtain various external objects or treasures to aid in cultivation.
Land refers to heavenly caverns, which provide the benefit of abundant spirit qi.
No immortal cultivator would resist these 'external objects'; they can only yearn for them.
For a sect, as its strength and fortune rise, these things will naturally increase in quantity and quality.
Therefore, a sect and its disciples share the same fate; they rise and fall together.
The two words 'fortune' are ethereal, yet their influence is profound.
······
After the discussion, Su Xinghai began his busy work.
Transforming two spirit mountains into trial grounds was not a difficult task.
One mountain was sealed with some first stage demons, while the other was sealed with second stage demons. Disciples who met the requirements or accepted missions could naturally enter.
At the same time, a new mission hall was built, temporarily guarded by the six mascots in the sect on a rotating basis.
The mascots finally had a chance to shine!
The mission and contribution point system were also made public.
Completing sect missions could earn contribution points, which were also known as merit points.
With these points, various resources within the sect could be exchanged.
This included materials, pills, cultivation techniques, and treasures. Within the sect, merit points were the absolute hard currency and exclusive currency.
Apart from completing missions, one could also earn points by 'submitting personal possessions'.
For example, if a disciple obtained opportunities outside but had some unnecessary items, they could turn them in to the sect. As long as the cultivation techniques did not overlap with the sect's, they could earn points.
However, since the mission system had just been established and the disciples' strengths were still low, mostly 'newbies', there weren't any challenging missions for them to take on.
There were tasks they couldn't handle.
Most of the missions were low-point tasks for disciples to practice, like collecting materials, medicinal ingredients, or cultivating spirit herbs in the trial grounds where first-stage demons were imprisoned.
Additionally, Fan Jianqiang, Xiao Ling'er, and the elders also released some missions, such as cleaning, organizing, and transcribing in the Scripture Repository, helping to organize medicinal ingredients in the Pill Furnace Pavilion, or recruiting disciples with fire affinity to assist in refining low-level spirit herbs.
These missions offered few points, but it was better than nothing.
If one was diligent, these small points could accumulate to exchange for good items.
It required hard work!
The points for these missions undertaken by Xiao Ling'er and the others were naturally provided by the sect.
After all, they were taking on responsibilities, and the benefits of these missions were not for their personal gain but to alleviate the sect's burdens.
The most valuable mission on the 'mission board' was the pill refining mission, which only Xiao Ling'er could accept.
The second most valuable mission was the treasure refining mission...
The elders, if they had the time, could refine ordinary artifacts and treasures, but they couldn't create spirit artifacts.
Unfortunately, the disciples could only look on with envy.
Looking at the two top missions on the jade tablet, they could only grit their teeth and accept the ordinary missions below that required hard work.
After observing and understanding all of this, Lin Fan withdrew his divine sense and contemplated silently.
"There's a rough outline, but it's not convenient."
"Firstly, the mission board must be accessed in person at the mission hall to view and accept missions. It would be better if we could accept and complete missions anytime and anywhere."
If it were an ordinary immortal cultivator, they would not find this strange, as this was the norm for third-rate, first-rate sects, and even holy lands.
At most, holy lands would have more locations for mission acceptance and completion due to their size.
What's inconvenient about this?
Generation after generation, everyone did the same.
But Lin Fan was a transmigrator, a game enthusiast!
To him, the development of the Moonseizing Sect was more like a sect-building game that required strategic thinking.
Speaking of games, many in-game mission boards could be accessed anytime, anywhere, to view, accept, and even complete missions. Even if one had to return to complete a mission, remotely accepting missions should be fine.
That's real convenience!
"Apart from that, there are too few missions."
"They're mostly 'side missions', and they can't even be considered side missions."
"It's because the disciples' strengths are too low, and the Moonseizing Sect isn't 'lively' enough to create other missions.
"The main quest is out of the question."
"We still need to develop further."
Lin Fan sighed lightly.
Everyone who has played games knows what the most powerful quest is?
It has to be the main quest!
Side quests are nothing compared to that. Many times, you don't even need to bother with them.
Of course, above the main quest, there are also 'world quests' and the like.
For example, the unique world quest~
When converted to the cultivation world, it would probably be... destroying a holy land or something?
But for now, even this task is beyond our reach. It's something for the future.
Yes, the future.
"Speaking of which, the Moonseizing Sect still has many shortcomings."
Lin Fan counted on his fingers, "We don't have our own mines."
—
Without a Primordial Stone Vein, there's no way to stably produce Primordial Stones. At the same time, there's also a lack of 'job opportunities.'
Otherwise, at least N long-term side quests could be released - mining.
"We don't have affiliated forces."
—
No affiliated families or sects.
This is also a common situation in the Immortal Martial Continent. The stronger the sect, the more affiliated forces they have, and these forces often provide resources to the 'upper sect.'
Excellent disciples are also sent to the 'upper sect' for cultivation.
The obligation of the upper sect is to protect these affiliated forces.
At the same time, if the affiliated forces encounter a crisis, the upper sect also needs to dispatch people to resolve the issue.
If there were affiliated forces, wouldn't there be many more side quests and even main quests?
"We also lack reputation, and the disciples' strength is insufficient."
—
If there were reputation and strength, some sects might initiate friendly competitions.
It's not necessarily about causing trouble or making friends.
Normal friendly competitions can also promote the growth of disciples.
This is a good thing.
At the same time, it can also be used to assign tasks.
Unfortunately, we have nothing.
"Take it slow, problems need to be solved one by one, and at least now, it's already much better than when I first arrived in this world."
"Nurture."
"Nurture!"
...
Cloud Heaven Valley.
Tang Wu let out a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of relief, "Thankfully I have you, Foster Father. Otherwise, I might have died several times already."
"And I wouldn't have gained such strength in such a short time."
"Tang Wu, my son."
Ice Emperor smiled bitterly, "In my opinion, it's best if you lay low for a while. Otherwise, I fear that..."
"Soon, soon!"
"Once I refine the Skybinding Immortal Vine into my Martial Soul and make it my first Soul Orb, I'll stop being reckless and focus on steady cultivation instead."
"And now, with your help, Foster Father, I've already drawn the terrain map, defense layout, and formation flaws of Cloud Heaven Valley."
"As long as I find an opportunity to leak this information, and then sit back and watch the war begin, I can stir up trouble, seal the soul of the Skybinding Immortal Vine, and refine it into a Martial Soul!"
Ice Emperor felt a moment of fatigue.
The next second, Tang Wu spoke again, "Foster Father, rest assured. Cloud Heaven Valley has survived for so long, it must have its foundations. It won't be that easy to destroy, and I'll also step in at the critical moment."
"Once I have the ability, I'll immediately help you, Foster Father, to recreate your physical body. At that time, we, father and son, will be united, and nothing can stand in our way!"
"Conquering the world and becoming invincible will be as easy as flipping a hand!"
Ice Emperor felt helpless.
"Just be careful and don't let yourself regret it later."
At this point, what else could he say?
He had no choice but to accept it!
How frustrating!
"Thank you for your help, Foster Father."
Tang Wu smiled.
But...
Although he seemed happy, his expression became increasingly sinister.
After a few days, Tang Wu requested a leave of absence.
The reason was that he wanted to visit his hometown.
Most sects have this type of leave, and as long as the duration isn't too long, there's usually no issue.
Tang Wu's interpersonal relationships in Cloud Heaven Valley were practically non-existent.
With Ice Emperor's assistance, no one noticed him, and with the Outer Sect currently dealing with multiple thefts and the Inner Sect experiencing a robbery, everyone was busy with investigations.
So, after finding nothing unusual about Tang Wu, they allowed him to leave the sect.
However, they didn't know.
Tang Wu, who left the sect, didn't return to his hometown. Instead, he traveled, stopping wherever there were crowds...
And every time he reached a new place, he quietly left something behind.
Sometimes it was a rumor, sometimes a 'map.'
Eventually, he even went to the mortal enemy of Cloud Heaven Valley, another second-rate sect, Mountain River Sect, and its subordinate Immortal City.
He stayed there for a while, leaving behind a map and a rumor without a trace.
At first, no one noticed him.
But soon, the Mountain River Sect, which had absolute control over the city, became aware.
After some time, the message and map reached the hands of the sect leader, Zheng Shanhe.
Initially, he dismissed it.
"Hmph, there's a treasure beneath the Skybinding Immortal Vine in Cloud Heaven Valley?"
"This map claims to show the interior and formation focal points of Cloud Heaven Valley?"
"What a joke!"
"Isn't this a trap to lure us in and then surround and annihilate us?"
"Would our sect leader fall for this?"
He was about to destroy it but stopped at the crucial moment, his eyebrows furrowing, "Wait, this interior map and formation focal points..."
Zheng Shanhe raised his hand, calculating with his fingers, his expression turning strange.
"Based on my understanding of Cloud Heaven Valley, this distribution map..."
"It seems..."
"This map is real?!"
The one who understands you the most is often your enemy! Because the enemy studies how to kill you every day, they must know you inside and out to ensure victory in every battle.
Zheng Shanhe was like this.
The Mountain River Sect and Cloud Heaven Valley had an irreconcilable feud, wanting to destroy each other. But due to the small gap in strength, if the Mountain River Sect launched a full-scale attack, Cloud Heaven Valley's formations and Clan Guardian Plants and formations would ensure victory for the Mountain River Sect.
The moment they strike, the only one who will be annihilated is the Shanhe Sect.
But if this deployment map is real...
They can send people to sneak in quietly, dismantling the formation without anyone knowing.
At the same time, they must go all out to slay the Skybinding Immortal Vine.
In this way, destroying the Cloud Heaven Valley is not an impossible task.
Although they will suffer losses, and not insignificant ones, this is indeed a rare opportunity. If they miss this chance, it will be difficult to achieve it again.
Even if they are willing to pay the price, it will still be challenging to accomplish!
After careful consideration, he clapped his hands and stood up, his divine sense spreading out as he sent a sound transmission to the elders, "Quickly come to discuss matters!"
Numerous elders arrived one after another.
They were also very familiar with the Cloud Heaven Valley.
Upon learning this, they quietly compared notes and soon discovered that the deployment map and distribution map were likely to be genuine, with a probability of over 80% or even 95% or more.
One elder pondered, "Now, the only issue is the source of the information. If we can confirm its origin, we can roughly determine whether it's real or fake and whether it's credible."
Zheng Shanhe shook his head, "We only know that it was left behind by an outsider, but I don't believe it."
"It must have been done on purpose."
"I also tried to calculate, but the heavenly secrets are chaotic, and I can't figure it out."
"This person... There are only two possibilities. One, it's a decoy from the Cloud Heaven Valley. Two, they hold a grudge against the Cloud Heaven Valley and deliberately did this to use our Shanhe Sect's power to annihilate them!"
"If it's the first possibility, there's no need to say more."
"But if it's the second..."
"Then this person is most likely a Cloud Heaven Valley disciple who wants to put the Cloud Heaven Valley in a dire situation!"
"I called you here to discuss and decide whether we should seize this opportunity to completely destroy the Cloud Heaven Valley!"
Everyone exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.
Immediately, over 70% of the elders, along with Zheng Shanhe, believed they should take action.
Even those who had voted against the plan earlier were now taking action, not pretending to comply while secretly disobeying. Instead, they were united in their efforts to make this happen.
After the elders left, Zheng Shanhe stroked his beard and smiled.
"After destroying the Cloud Heaven Valley, their territory..."
"We must find a way to secure as much of it as possible!"
Zheng Shanhe wasn't naive enough to think that the Cloud Heaven Valley's territory would automatically become theirs.
There were still many second-rate sects around, eyeing it greedily. If they didn't cause trouble, it would be fine, but once they saw that the Cloud Heaven Valley was about to be destroyed, they would take advantage of the situation and try to seize the resources and territories.
At that time, the Shanhe Sect, having just experienced a major battle, would have suffered a loss in strength. Under such conditions, trying to cross regions and secure all the Cloud Heaven Valley's territories would be a pipe dream.
Therefore, he took out the Cloud Heaven Valley map and once again began to ponder, determining which territories would be the most profitable to seize.
······
"You fool, I'm already back in the southwest!"
"Just watch!"
"It won't be long before I personally destroy the Cloud Heaven Valley and trample on your so-called peerless talent!"
"If it's a man, I'll blast him to death, leaving no trace!"
"If it's a woman with some beauty, I'll take her as a concubine, and I'll make her submit completely. Even if she has to lick my feet in public, she won't hesitate!"
When Fan Jianqiang received Long Aotian's message, he couldn't help but smile.
"Not bad, not bad, you're so quick to act!"
This guy's eyes lit up, and he immediately replied, "Really? I don't believe it! Hmph, who can't brag?"
Long Aotian immediately felt a surge of anger rising in his heart.
"Okay, okay, I knew you'd act like this."
"You come here, and I'll let you personally witness how I destroy the Cloud Heaven Valley!"
Long Aotian put on a show of strength.
This guy always wanted to hit those who doubted him.
You, a little Fan Jianqiang, I can easily finish you off, and you can only rely on secret techniques to 'revive' yourself. How dare you question me? I'll make you shut up!
I'll slap your face so hard it swells up!
"Come and see? Just watch!"
"Tell me, when are you going to take action?"
Long Aotian: "..."
You're really coming? I thought you'd back out, you little brat!
(⊙o⊙).
No, if you're really coming, I'm not afraid!
"Hmph, let me prepare for a bit."
He calculated the time and estimated that in about ten days, he would be able to advance further and improve his strength. He said, "Ten days from now, at midnight, watch as I display my divine might, punching the Cloud Heaven Valley and kicking the peerless talent!
