CHAPTER 514: CHAPTER 514: THE SECT’S NEW LIFE

The calamity had passed, and the terrifying power enveloping the City of Extinction dissipated like the wind, exposing the Wuji Sect, which Chen Pingping had hidden for so long, in its entirety.

The group from Fairy Valley was in shock. The Wuji Sect before their eyes was nothing like what they had imagined: its Sect Master was a Saint King, it boasted more than two hundred Lords, powerful Arrays, and Spiritual Medicine as far as the eye could see...

These did not align at all with words like "poor," "declined," or "minor power."

Seeing this, Chen Pingping knew that the opportunity for the complete integration of the two forces had come. He gave some directions to Hongxiu, along with some advice. As for himself... lazy...He had no interest whatsoever in the myriad rules of the Sect.

He then ordered the Earth Chicken to begin laying out Arrays.

Since the concealment of the City of Extinction had lost its effect, the only way to protect the Sect was with Arrays.

As time went by, Hongxiu began to establish regulations and systems, disbanding Fairy Valley to integrate it before reorganizing everything.

Her approach was not smooth sailing, facing rebuttals from many strong individuals from Fairy Valley. Nonetheless, as the Sect Master with formidable strength, she managed to suppress the voices of dissent within just a few days.

However, she did not establish Peaks or the rules governing them.

Instead, she divided the members into several grades: Outer Disciples, Inner Disciples, Recorded Disciples, Central Court, Stewards, Elders, Vice Sect Master, and Sect Master.

The only Peak was Qingfeng.

Qingfeng stood independent, equal to the Sect itself.

No one had any objections to this; after all, Chen Pingping’s strength was evident. With him alone, he could support nearly half of the Sect.

Hongxiu then appointed seven Elders from those of the Saint Realm of Fairy Valley, followed by naming thirteen Stewards to handle various affairs, and twenty-eight members of the Central Court, responsible for guiding the younger generation of the Sect in their cultivation.

Following them were the Disciples. Recorded Disciples were accepted by the various elders and could also be called close-door disciples.

Outer and Inner Disciples were channels for nurturing new Disciples. Only those who reached a certain level could enter higher echelons, access better cultivation resources, and receive certain rewards.

After hearing this, Chen Pingping was greatly impressed and had only one word to describe it: "Awesome."

He didn’t quite understand these things, but having read many novels, he always felt that such a set of regulations was fitting for the development of a Sect. Otherwise, the Disciples would lose their motivation.Just like the more than two hundred experts who had broken through to the Lord realm—if it hadn’t been for the rewards he offered, perhaps it would have taken them a hundred years to make such progress.

But He Yitian was unwilling. "What about my position as Peak Master?"

"Peak Master has been changed to Hall Master. You will be in charge of the Artifact Refining lineage. It will be directly managed by the Sect Master and Vice Sect Master, without interference from the Elders. However, your authority is limited to your lineage only," Hongxiu explained.

He Yitian was speechless. He was a bit confused, feeling like he had been tricked again.The consolation was that the Wuji Sect currently only had one Hall Master, and he would only take orders from the Vice Sect Master and Sect Master, which meant his position was very high.

At this moment, the Second Elder spoke up, "What about the great-great uncle?"

Hongxiu looked at the old man and said, "In the Chong Tower, there is a rule that overly powerful elders usually do not hold positions. They are directly managed by the Sect Master. Therefore, the elder will not hold any office."

This was the result of her repeated deliberation. After all, Fairy Valley was Fairy Valley; it was once a superpower.If everyone from Fairy Valley was suppressed completely, it could be inappropriate. It might seem fine now, but problems could arise over time.Wang Xiaodao was currently the strongest in Fairy Valley and also the most senior. No position was important to him; what he needed was freedom as well as some degree of power.First, he could stabilize Fairy Valley.Second, it gave him a certain level of respect, ensuring not to chill the heart of this elder, nor the hearts of those from Fairy Valley. Whether there would be such a presence in the future was of no importance.She was a Saint King, and her strength would continue to rise.

"What does the elder think?" Hongxiu asked with a smile.

"I will follow the Sect Master’s arrangement," Wang Xiaodao nodded, ever calm.

COUGH! COUGH!

The Scholar lifted his head. "May I join Qingfeng?"

Hongxiu smiled, "Why?"

"Uh..."

He thought for a moment. "I think my strength is not bad."

Hongxiu blinked, "Can you beat that little black dog?"

The Scholar was rendered speechless.

"The position at the Central Court isn’t bad; it’s quite free and can avoid most of the Sect’s rules," Hongxiu said seriously. "And you don’t need to be responsible for anything."

The Central Court was ranked above Recorded Disciples and below Stewards. Its very essence was freedom.

On the other side, Bai Yisheng, who also wanted to join Qingfeng, immediately shut up when he heard Hongxiu’s words about having to defeat Hei.

That little black dog wasn’t ordinary at all, standing upright in human form, holding a sword, not even caring for the Saint Realm.How to fight?

Hongxiu continued, "If there are no objections, no disagreements, this set of rules and regulations will be officially implemented starting tomorrow."

"Agreed," the Second Elder was the first to express his stance.

"I agree too."

"Agreed."

"Agreed..." Voices rose one after another.

The rules Hongxiu had set, though not perfect, suited the current situation pretty well. The experts from both Fairy Valley and the Wuji Sect had been dealt with properly and fairly...

At that moment, a young man stood up from below and said softly, "Isn’t there Alchemy?"

Hongxiu replied with a smile, "There is. Do you want to practice Alchemy?"

He answered, "I do."

"You can, but for now, you’re the only one in the Pill-refining Hall; its head has not yet returned," Hongxiu said, blinking.

"Where is he?" the young man asked, startled.

"You’ll have to ask your Elder Chen about that," Hongxiu said, looking towards Chen Pingping.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Everyone looked at him.

After all, they had all been lured back by Chen Pingping. Thus, they were also curious: where would Chen Pingping find a skilled alchemist?

Moreover, the most important point was that they had heard that the abundant Spiritual Medicine all over the mountains was planted by Chen Pingping.

Presumably, this bastard really liked Alchemy, didn’t he?His requirements for an alchemist should surely be higher.

This girl...

Chen Pingping cursed inwardly and then said with a dark face, "Soon, very soon."

Hongxiu then said, "Although you can’t join Qingfeng, your Elder Chen is very enthusiastic and kind-hearted. If you encounter any problems in your cultivation, feel free to consult him."

Chen Pingping became anxious, but under the public eye, and with Hongxiu as the Sect Master, he couldn’t really oppose her.

「The meeting dispersed.」

The first to approach Chen Pingping was the Scholar, who said with a pained expression, "Brother Chen, I beg you, please give the Creation Divine Stick back to me!"

He practiced the Creation technique, and without that wooden stick, he’d be like a fish out of water, about to die from thirst...

Chen Pingping gave him a sidelong glance. "You rely too much on the Creation Divine Stick. Such cultivation will eventually lead to serious problems."

The Scholar forced a smile. "Yes, yes, I know. So, can I?"

Chen Pingping shook his head. "No, unless you defeat Hei."

"Hei, I challenge you," said the Scholar through gritted teeth, looking at the little black dog...

As soon as these words were spoken, the cultivators who heard them all looked over, each holding their breath.

WOOF WOOF!

Hei barked at him a few times. Its seemingly simple and honest face suddenly showed a sharp glint—no, it was the light of excitement.

It was excited.

The Scholar’s scalp went numb, and then with a trembling voice, he said, "I give up the challenge."
