Qin Renhuang just became an immortal, and you told me this is the prehistoric time

After all, the spiritual environment displayed by the Tianxing Sect and the seemingly existing Nascent Soul cultivation technique are fatally attractive to any cultivator.

The other six sect leaders were initially stunned, then both shocked and furious at Linghu Patriarch's "preemptive sale," but soon a deeper chill and realization washed over them. Linghu was right. In the eyes of a Nascent Soul cultivator, what difference was there between them, mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators and their sects, and those rogue cultivators and small families?
Since the Tianxing Sect aims to become "the best in the world," how could it tolerate the existence of seven "allies" that are not under its complete control?
The only thing a Nascent Soul cultivator cares about is probably the legendary path to ascend to the Spirit Realm; other resources and power are indeed of little significance to them. However, if the entire sect is integrated into the Heavenly Star Sect, the nature of the matter changes—they will inherit the "foundation" of a Nascent Soul cultivator!
Look at this Tianxing Mountain Range. Tens of thousands of cultivators have gathered here, yet the concentration of spiritual energy still far exceeds that of any blessed land outside. This is definitely not a natural formation. It must have been created by Senior Ying, who used his Nascent Soul power to transform the earth's veins and gather spiritual energy!

Such methods are simply unheard of! If one could become a member under their command, enjoy this kind of cultivation environment, and obtain even a sliver of opportunity that slips through their fingers, it would be a hundred times better than struggling to manage their own sect!
Having figured this out, the six sect leaders dared not hesitate any longer, fearing that falling behind would make them "opponents" and eliminate them. They all followed Linghu Patriarch, knelt down with a thud, and rushed to express their opinions.

"We, the juniors of the Hidden Moon Sect, are willing to submit to the Heavenly Star Sect! From now on, we will follow Senior Ying's lead without question!"

"The entire Spirit Beast Mountain is willing to serve our senior and join the Heavenly Star Sect!"

"Qingxu Sect is willing to offer all its inherited scriptures, resources, and secret realms, only asking to be integrated into Tianxing Sect and receive the protection of our predecessors!"

"The same applies to Huadaowu! Please, senior, take us in!"

"Tianque Fortress is willing to be the vanguard of the Tianxing Sect!"

"The Greatsword Sect... the Greatsword Sect also wishes to submit! We are willing to offer all our weapon-forging techniques to you, senior!"

For a moment, the hall was filled with the urgent plea of ​​the seven Nascent Soul sect leaders to submit.

At this moment, they had long since cast aside any notions of sectarian dignity and independence, leaving only the most primal desire for survival and awe and longing for higher-level power.

The news that the seven major sects of Yue Kingdom had officially merged into the Tianxing Sect was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up a huge wave in the entire Tiannan cultivation world. The Tianxing Mountain Range, located at the center of the vortex, underwent earth-shattering changes.

After receiving Ying Xuan's tacit approval to "temporarily retain them and redeem themselves through meritorious service," the seven Nascent Soul sect leaders, including Linghu Patriarch, immediately took on the new roles of "Elders of the Tianxing Sect" and personally inspected the entire Tianxing Mountain Range.

When they saw the prototype of the massive and exquisite Zhou Tian Star Array, felt the rich spiritual energy brought by the 108 surging spiritual veins deep in the mountains, and witnessed the bustling and incredibly efficient scene of refining spiritual soil and laying spiritual fields, the last trace of unwillingness and doubt in their hearts vanished, replaced by deep shock and relief.

We are glad that we made the right choice.

Immediately following, a series of urgent communication talismans, personally issued by the seven newly appointed elders and imbued with their original sect seals and their own Nascent Soul cultivation power, shot like meteors across the Yue Kingdom, heading towards the mountain gates, secret realms, and market strongholds of the seven major sects. The messages were concise and clear.

The sect leader has ordered that all disciples at the late Golden Core stage or above, core disciples, and skilled members of each branch should immediately put aside all their affairs and rush to the Tianxing Mountain Range to reunite as quickly as possible!

All movable treasures, books, and materials in the sect's resource vault, except those necessary for maintaining the sect's basic operations, are sealed up and escorted to Tianxing Mountain by Nascent Soul elders or reliable Golden Core cultivators!
There was no explanation of the reasons or future plans, but the undeniable urgency in the order, and the weight of the words "the sect leader has given the order," made the elites of the seven major sects who received the message dare not be negligent in the slightest.

In an instant, the land within the Yue Kingdom was filled with dazzling light, and countless cultivators, filled with a complex mix of surprise, trepidation, and curiosity, converged in the same direction—the Tianxing Mountains.

Meanwhile, the seven Nascent Soul elders who had gone ahead, along with their trusted Golden Core cultivators who had originally stayed behind near Tianxing Mountain, had already begun to "show their sincerity."

The Tianxing Sect's treasure vault has seen its most spectacular "revenue" since its establishment.

Hundreds of magical treasures, each gleaming with a different aura and varying in strength, were brought in as if they were free. Among them were ancient treasures, inherited magical treasures, and rare treasures obtained from ruins.

There were even several Nascent Soul elders who had been using and nurturing their natal magic treasures for hundreds of years! They gritted their teeth and took out their most treasured possessions, just to exchange for the sect points they had been dreaming of.

Tens of thousands of magical artifacts of varying grades, from low to top, were piled up like mountains. Many of them were clearly standard equipment or high-quality items belonging to the elite disciples of the seven major sects, and they were offered up without hesitation.

A massive amount of refining materials were piled up in the corner of the warehouse: Gengjin, Mithril, Star Sand, Void Stone, Ten-Thousand-Year Ironwood, Deep Sea Cold Iron, Earth Fire Crystal... Many of these were rare treasures that were hard to find outside, but at this moment they were counted in "piles".

The Golden Core deacons in charge of the treasure vault were dumbfounded, their hands and feet went numb, and the speed of registration and cataloging could not keep up with the speed of delivery.

They had never seen so many treasures before, and they couldn't understand why these Nascent Soul elders of the seven major sects, who were originally high and mighty, were so "generous".

The reason is simple: it's hidden in the library.

When the seven Nascent Soul elders, along with the other Nascent Soul cultivators from the seven major sects who arrived later, first stepped into the Heavenly Star Sect's library and felt the profound Daoist aura emanating from the dozen or so jade slips shrouded in mysterious restrictions, which stirred their Nascent Souls, all their doubts were answered.

A complete cultivation technique for achieving the Nascent Soul stage! And there's more than one!
For cultivators like them, who have been stuck in the Nascent Soul stage for hundreds of years, with no clear future and only able to endure hardship through painstaking effort and slim chance encounters, this is simply a lighthouse in the darkness, a lifeline for drowning people! What magic treasures, what materials, what treasures, are all insignificant in the face of a clear path ahead and a higher realm!
They would give anything to obtain a Nascent Soul cultivation technique that suits their own spiritual root attributes, even if it was just a complete guide to the late Nascent Soul stage!
"Exchange! Exchange everything for points!"

A female cultivator from the early Nascent Soul stage of the Hidden Moon Sect, her eyes bloodshot, slammed the several storage bags she had brought onto the exchange platform, her voice trembling with excitement.

"My 'Illusory Moon Silk' magic weapon has been with me for over four hundred years. It's a top-tier ancient treasure. How many points can I exchange it for? And these materials..."

"This 'Azure Wood Cauldron' of mine is a legacy passed down from an ancient alchemist. Although it is not a supreme weapon for attack, it is extremely effective in alchemy and contains a trace of the life-giving energy of the Wood element. Perhaps it can be exchanged for more points?"

A Nascent Soul elder from the Qingxu Sect asked anxiously.

"Quick! Register me! These are sword dao insights and weapon forging diagrams collected by my Giant Sword Sect over the generations. Although they are not techniques that directly lead to the Great Dao, they will definitely be helpful to the Weapon Forging Hall and the Sword Cultivation lineage. They may be converted into points?"

One of the Nascent Soul sword cultivators from the Giant Sword Sect had a fiery temper and a loud voice.

Inside the library, it instantly turned into a bustling market. A dozen Nascent Soul cultivators crowded around the exchange area, eagerly pulling out their savings, hoping to exchange for more points and reach the threshold of their coveted cultivation technique as soon as possible.

Elder Zhao Xuan was extremely busy, yet also incredibly excited. Following the rough framework set by Ying Xuan, he quickly assessed the value of various items and assigned points accordingly. Wealthy sect leaders, such as Elder Linghu, who were at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, managed to accumulate enough points—the astronomical sum needed to exchange for a Nascent Soul cultivation technique—within just a few days, thanks to the substantial wealth accumulated by their sects and their own personal treasures!

When they received a jade slip containing a Nascent Soul cultivation technique from Zhao Xuan with trembling hands—a technique whose seal had been partially broken by Ying Xuan himself, allowing them to begin their comprehension—they were so moved that they almost burst into tears. They repeatedly kowtowed in the direction of Ying Xuan's seclusion, overwhelmed with gratitude.

Those Nascent Soul cultivators who didn't have enough points yet mostly exchanged for the corresponding late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation techniques. They were overjoyed and full of energy, working even harder to "contribute" to the sect in order to accumulate points.

Not only cultivation techniques, but the merger of the seven major sects also brought a massive amount of systematic classics! Alchemy tips, weapon crafting diagrams, detailed explanations of formations, talisman inheritance, spiritual plant cultivation methods, beast taming secrets, mineral identification, geographical anecdotes, ancient secrets... a wide variety of things, encompassing everything.

These classic texts, like a gentle stream, flowed continuously into the Tianxing Mountain Range, were categorized and distributed to various halls, greatly enriching the originally shallow foundation of the Tianxing Sect.

"The Heavenly Star Sect was founded by a Nascent Soul cultivator and possesses a supreme cultivation technique that leads directly to the Nascent Soul stage. It can be redeemed using sect points!"

"The seven major sects of Yue Kingdom have all submitted to the Tianxing Sect, and the cultivation world of Yue Kingdom is now unified!"

"The Heavenly Star Sect is recruiting cultivators from all over the world, regardless of their background, only based on their contributions!"

Shocking news, centered on the Tianxing Mountains, swept out like a whirlwind, quickly spreading throughout the entire Yue Kingdom and reaching neighboring countries.

Within the Yue Kingdom, countless small and medium-sized sects, cultivation families, and gathering places of independent cultivators were all in an uproar!

Achieving Nascent Soul! Cultivation Technique! A Unified Yue Kingdom!
For countless cultivators from lower levels and smaller factions, each of these words represents unimaginable opportunities and tremendous changes.

In the past, the seven factions of Yue coexisted. Although there was competition and pressure, they always left some space for small and medium-sized forces to survive. Sometimes, in order to maintain a balance of power, the seven factions would even deliberately support some buffer forces.

However, now that the seven major sects have merged into one and are all under the command of the Tianxing Sect, the entire Yue Kingdom has become an absolute domain where the Tianxing Sect is the only dominant force and there is no longer any check and balance!

Those smaller sects and families that had previously been affiliated with a major faction or moved between several factions were suddenly plunged into immense panic and confusion. Should they remain independent?
Before the colossal Tianxing Sect, they were not even ants, and could be crushed at any moment. Leaving Yue Kingdom and going to a distant land? Not to mention the hardships and unknown risks of leaving one's homeland, just abandoning one's existing foundation was enough to make many cultivators' hearts ache.

More importantly, it's all about the allure! The Heavenly Star Sect boasts a Nascent Soul cultivator, possesses legendary cultivation techniques that are said to drive people mad, and offers a world-changing cultivation environment! Just join, and you'll have the chance to obtain these through your contributions!

"Sect Leader, let's...let's go to Tianxing Mountain too!"

In a small sect, several Foundation Establishment stage deacons stared longingly at their Golden Core sect leader.

The Golden Core Sect Leader looked bitterly at the barely suppressed longing in his disciples' eyes and let out a long sigh.

"Enough, enough. The tide has turned, and we cannot stop it with our bare hands. Send down the order to organize the treasury and seal the mountain gate... We will also go to the Tianxing Sect to find a way out!"

Similar scenes played out repeatedly throughout the Yue Kingdom. Few cultivators who could establish their own sects or families were truly fools. Those who couldn't see the bigger picture would be eliminated sooner or later. Those who remained would be absorbed into the Tianxing Sect.

Although they lost their independent status, they gained unprecedented support, environment, and opportunities. For the vast majority of cultivators, this was not a difficult choice at all.

As a result, an unprecedented "migration wave of cultivators" occurred within the Yue Kingdom. Countless cultivators from small and medium-sized forces, with their families and the wealth they had accumulated over the years, flocked to the Tianxing Mountains from all directions like rivers flowing into the sea.

At the Tianxing Sect's mountain gate, cultivators come in droves every day seeking refuge and requesting to join the sect, keeping the disciples responsible for registration and preliminary review extremely busy.

With the influx of a massive number of cultivators and new resources, the Tianxing Sect also began sweeping reforms.

On this day, Ying Xuan's decree spread throughout the entire sect.

The original title of "Golden Core Elder" is abolished. From this day forward, only Nascent Soul cultivators may be called "Elder".

All Golden Core stage cultivators, regardless of their original status, are now uniformly referred to as "True Disciples".

The head of each hall, such as the Weapon Refining Hall, Alchemy Hall, Talisman Making Hall, Array Formation Hall, and Spirit Plant Hall, must be a Nascent Soul cultivator. If the original hall head is not a Nascent Soul cultivator, they will automatically become the deputy hall head, assisting the newly appointed Nascent Soul hall head in management. A Golden Core cultivator can only serve as a deputy hall head at most.

This order caused some ripples among the Golden Core cultivators of the former Tianxing Sect, but it quickly subsided.

Firstly, no one dared to question Ying Xuan's authority; secondly, with the merger of the seven major sects, the number of Nascent Soul cultivators suddenly increased to more than twenty, and each of them was a seasoned veteran whose skills, experience, and prestige far surpassed those of these rogue cultivators or Golden Core cultivators from small sects. It seemed only natural that they would lead the various halls.

More importantly, Ying Xuan's original intention in establishing the Tianxing Sect was to gather resources, technology, and knowledge from this world as efficiently as possible, rather than to systematically cultivate local talent. In his view...

"The strong rule, and the capable occupy positions" is the simplest and most effective principle. Giving Nascent Soul cultivators higher status and power will better motivate them and help them achieve their goals more quickly.

For the newly joined Nascent Soul cultivators from the Yue Kingdom, this reform was undoubtedly great news.

They had just "surrendered" and thought they would be constrained at every turn and need to start from scratch, but they didn't expect to be able to take on powerful positions as hall masters and manage affairs in one region immediately! This Nascent Soul sect leader seems to care nothing about the traditional structure of the sect or the balance of power, only about results and efficiency.

This further convinced them that their choice was correct, and they threw themselves into their new positions with even greater enthusiasm. News of their high positions and power reached the former territory of Yue Kingdom and the surrounding areas, attracting even more Nascent Soul cultivators or leaders of small factions who had previously been observing, or even from other countries. They were now eager to seriously consider the possibility of joining the Tianxing Sect. (End of Chapter)
