340: Gu Qing doesn't want to be this big complainer
Gu Qing finally understood why Immortal King He Guang insisted on him marrying Xi Ling.
He wanted him to stop Xi Ling from refining Eternity.
However, looking at Xi Ling, it was clear she had no intention of giving up the idea of refining Eternity.
“This is good too…” Gu Qing thought to himself.
Once Xi Ling refined the world, he could benefit from it, directly enjoying the fruits of her labor. Freeloading was the best.
If Xi Ling encountered danger, his Creation Green Lotus Cauldron would be enough to protect her.
Thinking this, Gu Qing withdrew his gaze and looked outside the Starry Sky Gate.
He saw You Kui observing the Heaven's Chosen, clearly intending to take on disciples.
“It seems You Kui’s desire to develop the Star Lineage is very firm,” Gu Qing thought to himself.
You Kui having such an idea also suited his intentions, as the Boundless Divine Sect was truly short on people, and he also hoped the Star Lineage would flourish.
However, some things still needed to be made clear.
He would absolutely not allow his disciples to be a group of selfish insects with no sense of belonging to the sect.
Outside the Starry Sky Gate.
Countless Heaven's Chosen had gathered.
In addition, there were many Profound God Great Powers.
Ever since the Great Demon emerged and forcefully refined an Immortal King, the Boundless Divine Sect already had enough power to protect itself.
Therefore, how could they sit still?
For ten years, they had been guarding the Starry Sky Gate.
They wanted to join the Boundless Divine Sect and become the first batch of followers, to enjoy great fortune.
The inheritance of the Star Dao Sect, as well as Gu Qing's inheritance, made them all incredibly covetous.
Also, it was well known that the Star Dao Sect had nothing in abundance except resources. Immortal sources were freely available, and cultivation treasures were countless.
If one broke through to Profound God, they could even receive a Dao Fruit.
Therefore, joining the Boundless Divine Sect was a step to heaven.
If one could become Gu Qing's disciple and cultivate the Boundless Dao, it would be a great fortune, and the Grand Dao would be within reach.
“Ten years have passed.”
“After the great purge, why doesn't the Boundless Divine Sect accept disciples?”
“Don't they lack disciples?”
The crowd gathered in groups of three or five, their faces filled with melancholy.
They couldn't understand Gu Qing's actions.
Logically speaking, the Boundless Divine Sect was now in ruins awaiting reconstruction and should be recruiting a large number of disciples, offering generous rewards to win people's hearts.
Some exceptionally talented individuals had already decided to ask to become Gu Qing's disciples.
But they waited and waited, and the Boundless Divine Sect showed no signs of movement.
Everyone's expressions were a bit grim.
To think they were also peerless Heaven's Chosen, existences praised by all, yet they were directly rejected at the door.
They felt as if they were insignificant small fries.
“Let's go. The Boundless Divine Sect looks down on us so much, it's not worth it.”
Some people didn't want to wait anymore. Waiting like this, who knew when it would end?
It would be better to go back and cultivate properly.
When the Boundless Divine Sect started accepting disciples, it wouldn't be too late for him to come back and become a disciple.
Of course, while some left, others remained unmoved, sitting cross-legged in the void, meditating silently, like immovable rocks.
They felt that this might be the Boundless Divine Sect's test for them.
As long as they could join the Boundless Divine Sect, let alone ten years, even waiting for ten thousand years would be worth it.
“Fickle in temperament, all show and no substance.”
You Kui, hidden in the void, saw the Heaven's Chosen he had favored leave without hesitation, and couldn't help but shake his head.
He continued to observe other Heaven's Chosen.
Although he wanted to widely recruit disciples, he wouldn't accept just anyone.
Talent, temperament, and character—he would carefully examine them all.
Once bitten by a snake, one fears the rope for ten years.
He didn't want another Cheng Yang to appear.
“Elder You Kui, which Heaven's Chosen have you taken a liking to?”
Gu Qing suddenly appeared beside him and asked in a calm voice.
Hearing Gu Qing's voice, You Kui was startled.
Gu Qing had arrived beside him silently. If he were an enemy, the consequences would be unimaginable.
It seemed the Strongest Profound God was truly about to change hands.
You Kui's face was full of bitterness: “Still observing.”
Gu Qing nodded slightly and said, “Let's be frank. I also hope the Star Lineage flourishes, but I prefer quality over quantity.”
“Sect Master, rest assured, I will focus on examining their character,” You Kui said solemnly.
“Not enough!” Gu Qing shook his head.
“Then what does the Sect Master mean?” You Kui looked puzzled.
“They also need a sense of belonging and a clean background,” Gu Qing stated his requirements.
“This…” You Kui looked at him, then at the Heaven's Chosen below.
Character and a sense of belonging were easy to talk about.
Among so many Heaven's Chosen, there must be many with upright character.
As for a sense of belonging, after tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years of interaction, what sense of belonging wouldn't they have?
However, a clean background would immediately eliminate everyone.
Because almost all these Heaven's Chosen came from large families or were sect Heaven's Chosen.
They all came to study with existing skills.
Speaking of this, one had to mention the rules of the Immortal Realm.
Betraying one's sect was a major taboo.
However, if one obtained the permission of their master, then there was no problem at all.
And that sect would not hold it against them.
Because the difference between sect Heaven's Chosen and family Heaven's Chosen was not significant.
Some families, seemingly families, were actually super-large imperial dynasties, with billions of members and their own core inheritances.
“Do you think I'm deliberately making things difficult for you?” Gu Qing asked.
“I wouldn't dare!” You Kui said so, but that's exactly what he was thinking.
After all, where were there any Heaven's Chosen with clean backgrounds?
One must know that every Heaven's Chosen was cultivated from a young age, even from the womb.
Moreover, to cultivate, one always needed cultivation methods and guidance from famous teachers, right?
“Do you know what they're thinking?”
Gu Qing asked again, and without waiting for an answer, he continued, “They must be thinking of becoming my disciple, or the disciple of my master, or Jiang Yu, or you, to cultivate the supreme Dao, use the sect's resources to become stronger, use the sect to gain fame and power, attain transcendence, and live a long and carefree life.”
“And we, for the sake of inheritance, for the sake of cultivating strong individuals, can only give them whatever they want.”
You Kui fell silent.
“Do you think there's no problem with this?”
“Who doesn't think that way?” Gu Qing continued to ask.
You Kui nodded silently.
This was something they both knew well, but chose not to speak of it.
“This is indeed no problem. All sects in the world are like this. The strong are respected, and the weak are prey. The sect needs strong individuals, and everything is for cultivating strong individuals, but…”
Gu Qing paused: “But I've become the Sect Master, and I won't raise a bunch of pampered ancestors.”
“Then how will the Star Lineage be passed on?” You Kui asked in a deep voice.
“Simple.”
Gu Qing smiled: “I plan to establish the Starry Sky Academy and widely recruit disciples. We will charge tuition fees. Each student must pay at least ten thousand immortal crystals per month. All cultivation methods, divine abilities, and secret arts will be clearly priced.”
He wanted to teach these arrogant Heaven's Chosen a lesson: don't always think that all the good things and benefits should belong to them.
And all the dirty and tiring work should be borne by the sect.
Gu Qing would not be this big pushover.
So, it was better to let this group of Heaven's Chosen experience the joy of being a corporate slave.
You Kui: “…”
You Kui opened his mouth, his expression startled and bewildered.
They were supposed to impart the Dao and teach, but they also wanted others to pay tuition fees? This was something only a demonic sect would do, right?
So, was their Boundless Divine Sect a demonic sect?
“Let's do it this way.”
Gu Qing made the final decision: “This way, you impart the Dao, I earn money, and when the sect is short of manpower, we can also assign them tasks. It's simply killing many birds with one stone, and everyone is happy.”
You Kui's mouth twitched. It seemed only Gu Qing was happy, right?
Don't drag him into this.
Looking at the high-spirited Gu Qing, You Kui's expression was complex, and he hesitated to speak.
He never expected that Gu Qing, whose aura dominated the universe and who was destined to become a Divine King, would be such a person.
You Kui organized his words and said, “If you do this, how will the sect cultivate strong individuals? How will the legacy be passed on?”
