215: Rebuilding the Sect

Seven days passed, and the damaged 108 peaks had all been repaired. With a group of Great Emperor Powerhouses taking action, repairing some damaged peaks was nothing easier.

Lin Tianxuan also returned successfully with the previous batch of Disciples. Xue You waved happily amidst the crowd of Disciples; she remained hidden beneath a black robe, using some special secret techniques to steady herself.

She looked around at the environment of the Sect. After a period of cleaning, all the bloodstains and corpses here had been cleared away completely, restoring it once again to its previous appearance.

The entire valley was filled with white mist, which looked very full of Concept. It was like a fairyland on earth; both the concentration of Spiritual Qi and the overall environment were excellent.

Xue You blinked her eyes in satisfaction; clearly, she liked this new home of hers very much.

Li Haotian, having conquered all the Disciples, returned to the place where he had previously resided and then went off to get busy.

Rebuilding the Sect required many things. Such a huge commotion had occurred at the Heavenly Profound Sect; although intelligence could not be sent out, word-of-mouth from passersby had informed the world of what happened here.

Everyone knew that the Heavenly Profound Sect, one of the Ten Great Powers, had been destroyed.

Now, what they had to do was to make their name known again, to tell the people of the world that they had not been destroyed and that they had already rebuilt their Daoist lineage.

Usually, there were people in their territory who often caused trouble; not only were they dilatory every time taxes were due, but they also had some contact with people from other powers.

When they learned that the Heavenly Profound Sect had been destroyed, they felt no sorrow at all, but were instead extremely excited. They had to spread their name now to deter those who had ulterior motives.

Li Haotian was very clear about what the Sect currently lacked; they needed prestige to deter the entire field.

Whether or not they could re-enter the Ten Great Powers would depend on the next assessment.

This kind of assessment was basically held every twenty years; Li Haotian had not participated in the last one. As long as the Cultivation was below Quasi-Emperor, one could let their own Disciples participate in such a competition, comparing the strength of the Disciples to see which power had cultivated stronger Disciples.

Naturally, their ranking would be higher.

Li Haotian knew this well. What he had to do now was to consolidate the Sect's forces and then send Disciples to participate in the next assessment. As long as they could defeat everyone in the assessment with thunderous means, they would inevitably be able to restore their banner.

"Sect Master, the Sect-Opening Ceremony is about to be held, and this matter requires you to preside over it personally."

A Chief Disciple pushed the door open and walked in. Although the Sect had not been officially rebuilt yet, everyone had already started calling Li Haotian Sect Master.

During this period, Li Haotian used his ability to force everyone to respect him.

Although the Sect was dilapidated and short-handed, he still managed everything in an orderly manner.

This caused even those Chief Disciples who had previously expressed slight opposition to become his loyal supporters.

Now, as long as they waited for the Sect to be rebuilt, he would be the rightful Sect Master.

Li Haotian nodded. The childishness on him had long since faded; he had now grown into a Powerhouse with sufficient strength to shoulder the heavy burden.

Putting on a light blue Daoist Robe, Li Haotian slowly stood up and walked toward the door.

This was the blue Daoist Robe that all Sect Masters would wear during the succession of the Sect Master.

Lin Tianxuan had created the Sect while wearing a blue Daoist Robe; subsequent Sect Masters who wanted to gain the recognition of the masses also had to do the same.

In front of everyone, Li Haotian came to the plaza and looked quietly at the people below.

Most of the people here were Disciples who had come out of the Fissure with him, and their admiration for him had long reached an extreme level.

He had single-handedly become a myth throughout the Fissure; wherever he was, the city wall would inevitably stand firm.

"While we were guarding the Fissure and doing our best for the Human Race, someone raided our Sect. I express my profound regret for this matter. As Disciples of the Heavenly Profound Sect, our primary task now is to shoulder the responsibility of rebuilding the Sect."

"Today, here, I, Li Haotian, formally announce that the Heavenly Profound Sect has been reorganized, and after some time, the 108 peaks will be put back into use."

"Currently, there are no capable people in the Sect who can shoulder the heavy burden, so I, Li Haotian, recommend myself and am willing to take on the position of Sect Master to lead everyone forward."

The entire audience immediately erupted into extremely intense cheers. Everyone was full of admiration and respect for this newly appointed Sect Master.

He had used his strength and ability to slap the faces of those who had questioned him.

"I have nothing else to say, but there is one point I must declare: in rebuilding the Heavenly Profound Sect, we are not doing it to inherit the Daoist lineage, nor for the sake of the Human Race's righteousness, but solely to kill all the evil cultivators in the world and avenge those Disciples, Elders, and the former Sect Master who died in battle!"

The people present erupted into even more intense cheers, and the eyes of every person were flashing with aggressive rage.

Evil cultivators had raided their Sect, causing their Elders or Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters to fall here.

If they just left it at that, they would definitely not be willing. Now that they had a Sect Master leading them, they were all willing to work with the Sect Master to confront such enemies together.

From now on, the Heavenly Profound Sect would have only one goal: to kill all the evil cultivators in the world, leaving absolutely no survivors!

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Countless Heavenly Profound Sect Disciples shouted with all their might, each person's eyes quite determined, and terrifying baleful Qi emerged from everyone.

The Elders' eyes were similarly incomparably angry; among the Grand Elders or Chief Disciples who died in battle were their own close relatives.

The earth-shaking roars lingered for a long time. The Heavenly Profound Sect was reorganized, and the former Elders and Disciples returned to their respective peaks.

Li Haotian returned to his room; on the surface, there was no ripple, but internally he was ecstatic.

He was now the Sect Master of the Heavenly Profound Sect, but that was secondary; the most important thing was that so many Summon Cards made his heart surge with excitement.

After completing this mission, he was also rewarded with a massive amount of resources, all piled up in his System, which could be retrieved directly whenever needed.

He would put all these resources into the Sect's treasury, making them the Sect's resources. Looking at his entire backpack full of Summon Cards, Li Haotian smiled until his mouth stretched to the roots of his ears.

He dared not even imagine how powerful a force it would be to have so many death warriors accompanying him to build the Sect.

Just as Li Haotian was preparing to use the summons, he suddenly thought of something and immediately called in the Disciple he had once promised something to.

Du Xian bowed respectfully before him.

"Sect Master."

Du Xian's tone was filled with admiration. The former Chief Disciple had now become the Sect Master, but he was somewhat apprehensive in his heart, not knowing whether the other party was willing to honor the promise he had made at the time. If Li Haotian went back on his word, he would have no way to do anything about it.
