Chapter 91: Incubation to Divinity Plan
Chapter 91: Incubation to Divinity Plan
The five grandmasters' expressions grew somber after the Inspector mentioned the 'Incubation to Divinity' plan.
Initially, when the five first became grandmasters, they were filled with aspirations for this plan.
And they had absolute confidence in it.
But after so many years, they were directly defeated,
In the three hundred years since the Unity Sect's inception, its best achievement was having sixteen contestants reach the top ten, with only one making it to the top three.
Three hundred years, equivalent to a hundred selections. With just one entry into the top three and only sixteen in the top ten, it was evident how bleak their performance was.
However, among the five Southeast Sects, this was still the highest, matching the Night Demon Sect—both had sixteen entries in the top ten.
There were also thirty instances where all the participants died.
Not a single survivor returned.
The Unity Sect's sole entry into the top three was a General who fought valiantly, but he died of internal injuries on his return journey...
So, it was as if they had no one.
Although they died and it was as if they had no one, the Seal God Palace still relied on this fact to suppress the Night Demon Sect.
"Whether we die or not is irrelevant. The fact is, we've had someone in the top three, have you?"
As for the Heaven Deity Sect, Holy Trinity Sect, and Radiant Sect... their situation was even more dire.
For instance, the Radiant Sect had its participants shaved bald fifty-four times—fifty-four times, and every single one of them died!
It was truly a tale of tears and sorrow.
...
The Incubation to Divinity Plan, as the name suggests, is a competition where the top disciples of various sects engage in mutual slaughter.
In that unique environment, killing an opponent allows one's Five Spirit Toad to devour the opponent's. This opportunity is something only the Righteous Unity Sect can create by gathering the strength of all sects, and it can only be prepared once every three years.
Using divine power, the Five Spirit Toads' devouring abilities are fused.
After one such fusion, it takes another three years to prepare for the next.
Cultivation can only withstand the fusion of General-level devouring; if exceeded, the fusion will not succeed.
Each time, only the top fifty are chosen.
These fifty individuals become the focus of future nurturing.
Out of tens of thousands of seed contestants, only fifty remain after mutual devouring.
The ranking is determined by the number of Five Spirit Toads devoured, and this also decides their future positions: the more they devour, the more people they can connect with using their Five Spirit Toads.
The more connections one has, the more outstanding their leadership abilities are considered.
by whether they will become a Chamberlain, Vice-Grandmaster, or a Branch Grandmaster, etc...
This is how it all begins.
For example, Fang Che can only be passive; currently, he can only communicate with the three people who have acknowledged him through their Communication Jade.
But he is merely acknowledged.
When communicating with the Seal God Palace, he cannot simultaneously receive or contact another person.
The Seal God Palace, however, can.
But if Fang Che devours the Five Spirit Toads of ten people, he can freely choose ten targets to send messages to. And in this, the choice of whom to acknowledge is up to him.
The Righteous Unity Sect has developed the continent's most advanced communication network through this method.
The Seal God Palace, Kou Yifang, and others are all former top ten winners of the Incubation to Divinity Plan.
They gradually rose through the ranks, and once they reached a certain cultivation level, they were appointed as heads of various sub-halls, then as Vice-Grandmasters, and finally as Branch Grandmasters.
Those who have not participated in the Incubation to Divinity Plan may become Hall Masters, but they will never rise any higher.
Those who have experienced the plan, especially those with high rankings, are the focus of the grandmasters' cultivation, their successors, or their own team... or the ladder to higher positions.
These are the true direct disciples of the sect!
Therefore, this is a matter of utmost importance for the Righteous Unity Sect.
All high-level leaders and giants with the qualifications to nurture new talents are paying close attention.
The new phase of this plan is about to begin.
After finishing his speech, the Southeast Inspector began observing the reactions of the people below; if they had an absolute genius in their hands, their faces would surely show it.
He scanned the crowd with some disappointment.
Kou Yifang of the Heaven Deity Sect had a glimmer of hope—hmm, not much chance.
Guan Shandu of the Holy Trinity Sect had a flushed face—he looked the same the last time, and this guy always had a red face, so there wasn't much hope.
Hai Wu Liang of the Night Demon Sect rubbed his hands together—he seemed to have some confidence, but this guy was unstable in his actions, liked to boast, and still needed observation.
Gu Shanfeng of the Radiant Sect seemed deep in thought—it seemed he had someone in mind, but without confidence. So, it was a lost cause.
The Inspector sighed.
He felt increasingly pessimistic about the situation.
When he saw the Seal God Palace, he became even more pessimistic.
The Seal God Palace had a solemn expression, even a bit tense.
The Inspector sighed right there and then, thinking, "Damn, it seems like the Seal God Palace is about to drop the ball."
But the Seal God Palace's problem wasn't just his solemn expression; he was trying hard to control his true feelings—because he even sensed an immense crisis.
In previous Incubation to Divinity Plans, he hadn't paid much attention to the matter; the vice-grandmasters always drew up the lists, and he approved them, sending those people to participate.
Upon their return, they were cultivated within the sect.
Including the upcoming one, it was the same.
Most of them were from the vice-grandmaster's side.
Previously unaware of the vice-grandmaster's ulterior motives, the Seal God Palace didn't care because they were all from the Righteous Unity Sect; what difference did it make?
However, after being reminded by Night Demon, Seal God Palace had a different perspective.
These are all a bunch of wolf cubs!
Moreover, after so many years, the wolf cubs have multiplied into many packs—this is something to pay attention to when we return. We must eliminate them one by one.
But currently, the most crucial matter is that the next Incubation Divine Ascension Program is imminent, yet I don't have a suitable General Rank expert.
Unity Sect's suitable General Rank experts were already selected three years ago, and the quota for this term was determined. They then concentrated on training in the Law Enforcement Pavilion and Combat Pavilion.
Both the Law Enforcement Pavilion and Combat Pavilion are under the responsibility of Vice-Sect Master Ren Zhongyuan.
Thinking of this, Seal God Palace's heart grew heavier.
After being a Sect Master for hundreds of years, such a thing happened under my command!
I have no one to rely on!
This is truly embarrassing.
But... Ren Zhongyuan has been under my command for three hundred years. He has always been loyal and devoted, even more so than my own son.
Sigh.
Recalling how Ren Zhongyuan served me like a dog for over two hundred years.
Seal God Palace couldn't help but admire, and a bitter smile crept onto his face.
"Others have to be a dog for hundreds of years to earn such an opportunity. I just can't match their patience and temperament."
"Even if Ren Zhongyuan succeeds, it won't be due to luck. It's what he deserves!"
"But now, I've discovered his intentions... So, the two hundred years you've been a dog were destined to be in vain!"
However, as his thoughts returned to the present, the imminent Incubation Divine Ascension Program was still the most pressing matter.
He must find capable people to prove to his backers that Seal God Palace is still reliable.
Next January.
It's already August.
Only five months remain.
Seal God Palace thought of Night Demon.
He's only an ordinary Grandmaster Second Rank now. Can he catch up in time? Even if he barely breaks through to the General Rank by then, he'll probably only reach First or Second Rank, far inferior to the people under Ren Zhongyuan.
At this moment, as the four Sect Masters silently pondered the General Rank experts under their command, Seal God Palace felt a bit helpless.
Frowning, he couldn't relax.
Hai Wu Liang looked up and noticed Seal God Palace's expression, causing him to pause momentarily. "Seal God Palace, what's troubling you? Why do you look so gloomy? Do you want me to help you cheer up?"
Seal God Palace, in a foul mood, directly cursed, "Mind your own business! Worry about yourself instead. Night Demon Sect always finishes last. This time, I think your position will be in jeopardy."
Hai Wu Liang flew into a rage, "You!"
But after glancing at the somber expression of the Inspection Envoy, he finally stopped talking.
"Hmph, everyone, do your best. I don't care how you do it, but this time, our Southeast Path must be in the top three!"
The Inspection Envoy's gaze fell on Seal God Palace, his voice cold and menacing, "Seal God Palace, didn't you say three years ago that this batch of seeds was excellent and had the potential to win? I hope it's not a joke."
"..."
I did say that three years ago, but wasn't that three years ago?
At that time, I didn't know about Ren Zhongyuan's ambitious nature.
Those seeds were all Ren Zhongyuan's people.
I don't have a single one now.
If we win a spot in the top three this time, it's likely to become a self-inflicted disaster. Ren Zhongyuan will surely send these valuable people to the Headquarters Sect for cultivation, leaving me no room to act!
Seal God Palace's heart was filled with bitterness, and he could only swallow it down, "Rest assured, Elder! This time, we won't disappoint!"
"I hope your words are true and you can truly give me a pleasant surprise."
The Inspection Envoy left.
Seal God Palace, burdened with worries, also departed without delay.
He didn't even bother to greet the others.
This caught Kou Yi Fang and Guan Shan Du off guard, who had intended to speak with him.
Hai Wu Liang cackled, "Look at Seal God Palace's miserable expression, it's like he's wearing a green hat, his face full of gloom. This fool must not be prepared."
The other Sect Masters hummed, "You worry about yourself. If Seal God Palace can't get into the top three, can you? Have you ever achieved it?"
Hai Wu Liang roared, "Just wait and see! My people will crush yours!"
He soared into the air and disappeared in an instant.
"Farewell!"
The other three Sect Masters also exchanged greetings and departed, each returning to prepare.
Seal God Palace fell into the forest, and Mu Lin Yuan and Hou Fang, who had been waiting nearby, emerged like ghosts, "Sect Master, how is it?"
Ever since learning about Ren Zhongyuan's possible treacherous intentions, Seal God Palace never ventured out alone.
Besides his personal guards, Mu Lin Yuan and Hou Fang were always nearby, hiding in the shadows.
Now that they knew of the other party's ambitions, Seal God Palace would never give them any opportunities.
"The situation is not good."
Seal God Palace furrowed his brows, "The other matters are tolerable, but this Incubation Divine Ascension Program has left me at a loss. It's about to start, and unfortunately, we..." He sighed, "...don't have anyone."
"Not a single one!"
Seal God Palace's sigh was truly heartfelt.
