31: Chapter 31 A World Transformed, The Structure of the Sect

"Where did the massive Green Leaf Sect go?"

Several Cultivators passing by Qingye Mountain stood dumbfounded.

The mountain peak that originally housed the Green Leaf Sect had been forcibly razed to the ground! It left behind only a desolate, messy flatland.

"The Spiritual Qi has become so thin, too..."

"It's likely that even the Low Grade Spiritual Vein was dug out!"

"Hiss—who on earth is so ruthless? So rampant!"

"Shh! Watch your words!"

His companion nearby was terrified and quickly covered his mouth.

Who else could accomplish such a feat but that Golden Core True Person from the Moonshadow Sect on Tianyuan Mountain!

And the person being criticized as "rampant" was currently hovering at the top of Tianyuan Peak.

"System, redeem 'Supernatural Craftsmanship'!"

Ling Hao looked at the items in the Sect Master point store, confirming the purchase with a pained expression.

1000 points were deducted instantly! The Sect Master point balance in the upper right corner plummeted to 856, nearly halved.

Ling Hao shook his head helplessly.

"There are still too few Disciples... I must recruit people quickly!"

Once the mountain gates are fully opened and there are more Disciples, my Sect Master points probably won't be so scarce.

Looking at the somewhat cramped old site of Tianyuan Mountain below, Ling Hao felt a surge of ambition.

"I never expected that one day I would be able to adjust the Sect's architectural layout just like a game."

"This Tianyuan Mountain is still too small! If new Disciples come in, they'll think our Moonshadow Sect is insignificant."

He communicated with "Supernatural Craftsmanship" in his mind, as if wielding the brush of creation!

"Rise, mountains!"

Rumble—the earth let out a dull roar! Towering, majestic peaks rose up like waking Dragons, tearing through the earth and soaring into the sky! Amidst the swirling dust, the skeleton of the new mountain range formed in an instant!

"Come, river!"

With a single thought, Ling Hao moved the Sheng-Sheng Creation Spring to the deep valley in the west. The spring water suddenly gushed and expanded, turning into a stream that accepted other clear springs from the mountains, becoming a surging, endless Sheng Sheng Creation River!

The long river meandered through the mountains like a silver Dragon, carving out several lakes filled with dense Spiritual Qi along the way.

The original scattered Sect buildings were precisely moved between the various peaks like chess pieces.

Finally, Ling Hao waved his hand, burying the Low Grade Spiritual Vein dug from the Green Leaf Sect deep into the core of the earth's veins like planting a Spiritual Root. Together with the previous Low Grade Spiritual Vein, it was nourished day and night by the water vapor and Spiritual Qi of the Sheng Sheng Creation River, slowly growing stronger!

After this earth-shattering transformation, Ling Hao looked down at the brand-new Moonshadow Sect with satisfaction:

Central Tianyuan Peak (originally a massive expansion of Tianyuan Mountain): Standing atop the mountains, the magnificent Sect Main Hall was situated upon it, which was also the core of the Protective Sect Array, the "taiyin zhoutian instrument"!

Eastern Chunyang Peak: Surrounded by red clouds, with the Alchemy Pavilion and Artifact Pavilion standing tall, faint firelight flickering.

Western Xuanyin Peak: Deep valleys, with the Scripture Pavilion and Talisman Pavilion hidden among the verdant bamboo forests.

Southern Houde Peak: Vast plains, with crisscrossing Spiritual Fields and vibrant vitality. The Southern Affairs Department was dotted among them.

Northern Zaiwu Peak: Heavy earth veins, with Spiritual Mine caves, important storage areas, and the Northern Affairs Department in good order.

Southeastern Wendao Peak: The mountain ridge was like a Dragon, with the majestic Mission Hall and the winding Nine-Turn Corridor.

Northwestern Yinyuan Peak: Hidden valleys and Secret Realms, filled with blessed lands, serving as a place for secluded cultivation.

Sheng Sheng Creation River: Originating from the spiritual spring on the western Xuanyin Peak, it nourished the Spiritual Fields of Houde Peak, eventually flowing into the Twin Lakes beneath Tianyuan Peak—Jinxi Pond and Yuchan Bay—where the Spiritual Qi steamed like a fairyland!

On the outskirts of Tianyuan Mountain, due to Ling Hao's announcement of the one-month deadline, countless Cultivators had already gathered, waiting in anticipation.

At this moment, witnessing this earth-shattering scene of the Sect's reconstruction, the crowd instantly boiled over!

"My heavens! This... this is simply the means of an Immortal!"

"Mountains rising from the ground! Rivers appearing out of thin air! This Sect Master Yueying... could he be a True Immortal descended to the mortal world?!"

"Hiss—look at the Spiritual Qi! It's several times denser than before! This is no barren wilderness, but a peerless blessed land!"

"Moving mountains and filling seas, creation following his will... a Golden Core True Person? I fear it's more than that!"

"A month from now, I will risk my life to join this Sect!"

The mountains were towering, the great river was flowing, and the atmosphere of an Immortal Sect had been established!

The gazes of the crowd toward the figure on the peak were filled with boundless awe and fanaticism!

In front of the Sect Main Hall on Tianyuan Peak, Chi Wanhe, Qin Zhaoxue, Du Yuqing, the three Huang sisters, and Yu Lingshuang had long been waiting there.

Ling Hao's figure drifted down.

"Revered Master! You are so amazing!"

Chi Wanhe cheered and, like a light, graceful butterfly, threw herself at him without hesitation, bringing a wave of sweet, girlish fragrance and a soft sensation as she collided into his arms.

Qin Zhaoxue, dressed in a simple and elegant green dress with a gentle and quiet temperament, looked at the transformed Sect scene before her, her beautiful eyes shimmering with brilliance.

Du Yuqing was in her martial attire, her chest flat once again. She stood silently with a calm expression, gazing at the peaks rising from the ground and the surging long river, but her heart was like crashing waves.

This is Revered Master's power! One day, I will also become this strong!

The three Huang sisters were even more excited, their little faces flushed red. Their gazes toward Ling Hao were filled with burning worship and admiration, wishing they could repay him with their lives immediately!

Only Yu Lingshuang, dressed in a moon-white dress, had a calm expression, as if the scene of moving mountains and filling seas before her was just ordinary.

With the power of Void Tempering, these were just minor scenes.

Ling Hao helplessly rubbed the little head of Chi Wanhe, who was hanging on him:

"You are already the Senior Sister; shouldn't you act a bit more dignified in front of your Junior Sisters?"

Chi Wanhe finally lifted her head from his arms, blinked her large eyes, and turned back to ask slyly:

"Hey, do you really think I, the Senior Sister, have no dignity?"

The three Huang sisters were so scared that they waved their hands repeatedly: "No, no! Senior Sister is the best!"

Qin Zhaoxue covered her lips and chuckled softly, gentle and quiet, saying nothing.

It was Du Yuqing beside her who nodded straightforwardly: "Yes."

"Not dignified."

Yu Lingshuang finally added a silent blade.

Ling Hao couldn't help but flick Chi Wanhe's smooth forehead with his finger:

"Listen! If you remain this flighty, when the new Disciples enter, they will surely laugh at you, the 'Talisman Elder'!"

"Talisman Elder?!"

Chi Wanhe's eyes widened instantly, and the others also looked at Ling Hao curiously.

"Yes," Ling Hao nodded,

"With the new Disciples about to enter, the Sect architecture must be established first; otherwise, it will be like scattered sand."

"I... can I really be an Elder?"

Chi Wanhe was a bit nervous after her excitement, "I'm only at the seventh level of Qi Refining..."

This was the result of Chi Wanhe's cultivation in just over half a month.

With Ling Hao giving his Disciples all sorts of cultivation cheats, Chi Wanhe's cultivation had directly risen from the third level to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

These four small Realms would take at least half a year for a normal Heavenly Spiritual Root Disciple!

"What are you afraid of?"

Ling Hao smiled, "The new Disciples have lower Realms than you. The one who attains the Dao first is the teacher; your talent in the Talisman Dao is outstanding, enough to be a teacher."

He turned his gaze to the graceful and gentle Qin Zhaoxue:

"Xiaoxue, you are meticulous and have great talent in Alchemy, so you shall serve as the Alchemy Elder and take charge of the Alchemy Pavilion."

"Yes, Disciple obeys!"

Qin Zhaoxue bowed gracefully, her voice soft but firm.

Ling Hao's gaze fell on Du Yuqing, slightly hesitant:

"Yu Qing, your situation is special..."

Du Yuqing immediately clasped her fists, her voice low but stubborn.

"This Disciple only wishes to stay by Revered Master's side, never leaving an inch. As for those Elder positions, please do not assign them to this Disciple!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Chi Wanhe's eyes immediately turned strange, darting between her Revered Master and Du Yuqing.

Ling Hao held his forehead, feeling quite helpless.

"...Alright."

Finally, Ling Hao looked at the petite and lovely Huang Yutong and her two sisters:

"Yutong, Qingzhu, Sumei, you three shall serve as Affairs Elders, responsible for the daily dispatch of the Sect."

"I... we? Elders?"

Huang Yutong pointed at herself, her round eyes filled with disbelief.

Qu Qingzhu and Li Sumei were also shocked and covered their mouths.

Seeing Ling Hao nod with a smile, the three girls were so excited they almost jumped up!

"We... we have reached the first level of Qi Refining, we can do it! We will definitely do it well!"

Huang Yutong was incoherent, her pretty face flushed red with excitement.

"Sect Master, rest assured! We sisters will definitely do our best to repay the Sect Master's great kindness!"

The three felt a surge of ecstasy and gratitude in their hearts, feeling that if they could become Elders, they would be willing to be shattered to pieces!

"As for my Deputy Sect Master—"

Ling Hao turned his gaze to Yu Lingshuang, with a faint smile, "Naturally, it is still you!"

Yu Lingshuang's expression remained cold as usual, and she nodded slightly:

"It is my duty, and I will certainly not fail the Sect Master's trust."

"By the way,"

Ling Hao added, "The things I 'visited' and brought back from the Green Leaf Sect are all piled up in the Sect Treasury on Tianyuan Peak. I trouble you, Ling Shuang, to take Yutong and the others to count, register, and organize them into the treasury."

Five days ago, news came back that the Green Leaf Sect had long since scattered like birds and beasts. That pathetic Protective Sect Array was vulnerable before Ling Hao, who had activated the resonance of the Golden Core Dao marks, and the Green Leaf Sect was completely emptied out.

Ling Hao's gaze swept over the brand-new Sect landscape before him, and finally landed on Yu Lingshuang, his tone solemn:

"So, I will entrust the burden of this Moonshadow Sect entirely to you."

"Regarding the appointment and removal of Elders and Peak Revered Masters, you need to discuss it with me in advance."

"Apart from that, everything in the Sect, whether it is the dispatch of Disciples, the distribution of stipends, or the coordination of resources, the formulation of laws, and internal and external affairs... shall be decided by you, Vice Sect Master Yu!"

"Afterward, you only need to inform me of the final decision for the record."

Yu Lingshuang's cold eyes narrowed slightly.

This hands-off manager is truly thorough!

The Sect is yours, not mine! Such heavy power, actually handed to me so defenselessly?

However, this heavy, unreserved trust was like a ray of warm sun, quietly melting a corner of the ice in her heart.

...However, the feeling of being trusted like this is indeed... not bad.

Ling Hao remained calm, glancing at the loyalty of Yu Lingshuang on the System panel, which had quietly jumped from 85 to 90, and the corner of his mouth curled into an imperceptible arc of satisfaction.

You manage the Sect, and I just need to hold onto you!
