27: Shenshan Town Sect, a luxurious gift package!

"We pay our respects to the Sect Master!"

A sound like a tsunami echoed within the Myriad Dao Divine Mountain, carrying a fanaticism and piety that originated from the depths of their Divine Soul.

Yun Tianqing and the group of Elders behind him prostrated themselves, tightly pressing against the white jade floor that seemed to contain endless dao rhyme, not daring to lift their heads.

In the instant they stepped into this place, their worldview was completely crushed and then reshaped.

So, there really is a fairyland in this world.

So, the Soul Transformation and Void Refining Realms they had been bitterly pursuing were as insignificant as dust before this divine mountain.

Chu Xuanjin stood with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent.

He looked at these high-ranking members of the Qingyun Sword Sect who had been completely subdued, but in his heart, he was communicating with the System.

【Ding! Detected that the subordinate Sect "Qingyun Sword Sect" has officially submitted. The total number of Sect members has increased significantly, meeting the second-stage binding conditions for the 【Myriad Dao Divine Mountain】!】

【【Myriad Dao Divine Mountain】 is undergoing deep binding... Binding complete!】

【Note: The Myriad Dao Divine Mountain has transformed into an independent mustard seed world, connected to the Host's Divine Soul Origin, and no longer needs to be carried. In this world, only those holding a myriad dao token can freely enter and exit.】

Chu Xuanjin's heart stirred.

This was good news, saving him quite a bit of trouble.

【Ding! Congratulations to the Host for completing the hidden achievement: Thousand-Member Sect (Initial Stage)!】

【Reward: Sect Construction Luxurious Gift Pack * 1!】

【Reward: Sect Growth-type Cultivation Technique: "Myriad Dao Origin Returning Art" * 1!】

A series of System notification sounds caused Chu Xuanjin's eyebrows to twitch almost imperceptibly.

With a thought, he opened that luxurious gift pack.

A brilliant screen of light unfolded with a roar in his Sea of Consciousness.

...

Chu Xuanjin's breathing paused for a split second.

He had struck it rich!

This was the true foundation for establishing a Sect!

With these things, the treasury of his Myriad Dao Divine Sect could be filled to the brim in an instant.

He suppressed the wild joy in his heart and his gaze fell back onto that growth-type Cultivation Technique.

【"Myriad Dao Origin Returning Art"】: A simplified branch of the divine rank Cultivation Technique "Dao", which can evolve as the Sect's Luck increases. Those who Cultivate this method will have a stable Dao foundation and can master all techniques; it is the best main Mind-Cultivation Technique for Disciples of the Myriad Dao Divine Sect.

"Good stuff."

Chu Xuanjin praised inwardly.

This Cultivation Technique perfectly solved the problem of ordinary Disciples having no suitable techniques to Cultivate as the Sect expanded in the future.

He looked at Yun Tianqing and the others who were still kneeling below, and spoke slowly.

"Everyone, rise."

The voice was not loud, but it seemed to carry a certain magic, making everyone stand up involuntarily.

"Since you have entered my Myriad Dao Divine Sect, you are now members of my Sect."

Chu Xuanjin's gaze swept across them.

"In the future, you may all enter and exit these halls and pavilions based on your contribution points. Cultivation Techniques, Medicinal Pills, and Magic Treasures can also be exchanged with contributions."

He pointed to the heaven-reaching divine tree.

"This is the ancient enlightenment tea tree. Those who have made great contributions to the Sect may receive one tea leaf and meditate under the tree for one day."

As soon as these words were spoken, the breathing of all the Qingyun Sword Sect Elders became heavy.

Enlightenment!

That was the Realm they dreamed of!

Yun Tianqing was trembling with excitement.

He knew he had bet correctly!

This was no mere vassalage; this was clearly a massive immortal opportunity!

Watching their excited appearance, Chu Xuanjin laughed inwardly, but his face remained calm.

He waved his large sleeve.

Space twisted again.

Everyone just felt a blur before their eyes, and the fairyland-like scene instantly vanished.

They had returned to the familiar Sect Master Hall of the Qingyun Sword Sect.

But their hearts could never go back.

Looking at this familiar hall and recalling the divine mountain just now, they felt that everything here had become so crude, so... unsightly.

"Sect Master..."

An Elder spoke in a trance, looking at Yun Tianqing.

Yun Tianqing took a deep breath, suppressed the agitation in his heart, and bowed to Chu Xuanjin again.

"Sect Master, I will go and gather all the Disciples to announce this matter now!"

Chu Xuanjin nodded slightly.

"Go."

...

Half an hour later.

Qingyun Sword Sect, main Martial Arts Field.

Thousands of Disciples, both inner and outer, were gathered here, a vast sea of people, discussing noisily.

"What's going on? Why were we all suddenly called here?"

"I heard the Sect Master has a major announcement!"

"Look, the expressions of the Sect Master and the Elders... they don't seem right."

Just as everyone was puzzled.

Yun Tianqing's figure appeared on the highest platform of the Martial Arts Field.

Behind him followed thirty-six Elders.

Further behind, Chu Xuanjin led three Disciples, standing with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent, as if he were just here to watch the excitement.

Yun Tianqing's gaze swept over the thousands of young and confused faces below, a myriad of emotions in his heart.

He took a deep breath, channeled his spiritual power, and his voice, like a tolling bell, spread throughout the entire square.

"All Disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect, heed my order!"

The entire scene instantly quieted down.

"From this day on, our Qingyun Sword Sect is officially merged into the Myriad Dao Divine Sect, becoming its subordinate Sect!"

"From now on, everyone in our Sect shall regard the orders of the Myriad Dao Divine Sect as supreme, and follow the lead of Sect Master Chu!"

Boom!

A stone stirred up a thousand waves!

The entire Martial Arts Field instantly exploded into chaos!

"What? A subordinate Sect?"

"We... we are merging into another Sect?"

"Why! Our Qingyun Sword Sect has a thousand-year Legacy, why must we live under another's roof!"

Countless Disciples were in an uproar, their faces filled with confusion, anger, and humiliation.

Even Jian Wuchen, who had been defeated by Ye Chenfeng that day, was being supported by others while standing in the crowd, his eyes full of unwillingness.

Just as the situation was about to spiral out of control.

Chu Xuanjin stepped forward.

He did not speak, just stood there quietly.

An invisible pressure instantly enveloped the entire Martial Arts Field.

It was not deliberate oppression, but an absolute crushing at the level of life itself.

The noisy discussion stopped abruptly.

All the Disciples felt as if their throats were being gripped by an invisible hand, unable to make a single sound.

Before this aura, their Divine Souls were as insignificant as a candle in the wind, liable to be extinguished at any moment.

The whole world went quiet.

Chu Xuanjin's gaze swept calmly over those below.

He raised his hand.

In his palm, thousands of tokens, identical in style to the disciple token but made of bronze, appeared out of thin air, like a cloud of metal suspended in mid-air.

"This is the Myriad Dao Divine Sect, subordinate disciple token."

His voice rang clearly in everyone's ears once again.

"All who are members of my Myriad Dao Divine Sect shall have this token."

"This token is not just a symbol of identity."

As his voice fell, he flicked his finger.

Those thousands of tokens turned into thousands of streaks of light, flying with absolute precision toward every single Qingyun Sword Sect Disciple below.

The tokens landed in their hands, feeling warm and smooth to the touch.

"Drip blood to acknowledge the master."

The Disciples looked at each other, but under that irresistible pressure, they could only subconsciously obey.

Drops of fresh blood merged into the tokens.

Hum—

In everyone's mind, a grand and majestic voice sounded simultaneously.

【Ten thousand Daos return to the heart, ordained by Heaven.】

【Since you have entered my Sect, you shall abide by my Sect's rules and uphold my Sect's prestige.】

【This token can assist your Cultivation and protect your lives.】

【However, if you harbor two hearts, the Heart Demon will devour your body, karmic fire will burn your soul, and you will be damned forever!】

A profound and mysterious connection was established between them and the ethereal "Myriad Dao Divine Sect".

They could feel that their Luck seemed to be connected to a larger, more vast existence.

At the same time, that absolute Restriction coming from the depths of their Divine Soul made their bodies go cold.

Betrayal means death.

Chu Xuanjin looked at the faces below, which had turned from shock and unwillingness to awe and resignation, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

He waved his hand again.

This time, what appeared in mid-air were hundreds of tokens made of silver.

"These are the Elder tokens."

The tokens flew toward Yun Tianqing and all the Elders behind him.

Finally, a token cast entirely of gold, engraved with intricate formation patterns, landed in Yun Tianqing's hand.

"This is the subordinate Sect Master token."

Chu Xuanjin looked at the Qingyun Sword Sect, which had completely submitted, his voice calm but resolute.

"From this day on, there is no more Qingyun Sword Sect in the world."

"There is only the Myriad Dao Divine Sect, Qingyun Branch."
