Douluo Continent: What should I do if I don't have a cheat system?

Chapter 301 Development of Haotian's Control over the Barak Kingdom

After Tang San returned to the Clear Sky Sect, he began distributing pills to the sect's disciples without regard to cost, in order to assist them in their cultivation.

After receiving the pills, the disciples treasured them like precious gems and did not delve into them further, instead throwing themselves into the fervor of cultivation.

They worked tirelessly day and night, hoping to reach a higher level on this path of cultivation.

At the same time, Tang San also announced a shocking piece of news: all sect disciples will have the opportunity to participate in the Divine Trial.

The Divine Trial is a test for cultivators in their pursuit of the highest realm.

Upon hearing this news, the elders were all extremely excited, their hearts filled with anticipation, hoping that another true successor of the divine would appear.

Back then, Tang Chen went out to find the inheritance of the gods, didn't he?

The sect preserves many documents and historical materials regarding the divine examination.

These materials describe in detail the various aspects of the Divine Trial, and many people who have read the records yearn for it.

Now that they don't need to go out, the divine test is delivered to their door, and all the disciples are extremely excited and thrilled about it.

With reverence for the gods and anticipation of passing on their legacy, they threw themselves into preparing for the divine examination.

Throughout this process, Tang San provided them with full support and encouragement.

He not only personally guided their cultivation, but also shared his understanding and experience of divine trials with them.

He told them that the divine test was not only a trial, but also an opportunity for self-improvement and spiritual purification.

The elders hoped that another successor to the divine would be born, but it was only a hope.

Tang San has already inherited the Sea God's legacy, and no one else who participates in the divine trials will reach the level of the Sea God's Nine Trials.

Everyone started the divine test, with most taking three tests, a dozen or so taking six tests, and that was about it.

It seems that talent really is very important.

Over the years, Tang San has witnessed many people begin their divine trials, but very few have actually passed more than six trials.

Even the renowned Haotian Sect has never produced a Soul Master who has surpassed the Six Trials.

With the divine test and precious elixirs prepared, one naturally cannot forget the many cultivation manuals of the Spirit Hall.

The Spirit Hall possesses a wide variety of secret manuals, and those who are knowledgeable about them highly regard them.

Although the Clear Sky Sect has spies outside, these spies do not dare to register with the Spirit Hall.

During registration, a physical examination is required. Once the examination is conducted, it turns out that my martial soul is the Clear Sky Hammer. Doesn't that expose me directly?

They knew all too well that once their identities were exposed, they would face countless dangers and troubles.

They must remain anonymous to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

Without a registered identity, you don't have an ID card and therefore cannot earn points.

In the Spirit Hall, points are the only currency for purchasing secret manuals and various resources.

Without points, it's impossible to purchase the Spirit Hall's secret manuals.

The Spirit Hall has made many secret manuals public, most of which only charge a symbolic fee of one point. However, without an ID card, you can't get even one point.

These manuals contain a wide variety of content, including various cultivation methods, martial spirit techniques, and combat strategies. Each manual contains profound principles and wisdom.

However, those without identification cards cannot obtain these precious secret manuals.

This has resulted in the Clear Sky Sect being unable to learn the Spirit Hall's secret manuals for so many years.

Moreover, the people of the Clear Sky Sect were unwilling to cultivate the secret manuals of the Spirit Hall.

Their own inherited secret manuals are enough for them to cultivate for a lifetime. They believe that these manuals are their foundation and pride, and they are unwilling to abandon their own traditions to cultivate other people's secret manuals.

Furthermore, they were also worried that practicing the Spirit Hall's secret manuals would weaken their loyalty to the Clear Sky Sect.

Therefore, they prefer to devote their energy and time to their inherited secret manuals, constantly improving their cultivation and realm.

However, this time Tang San brought out many of the Spirit Hall's techniques and explained in detail their diversity and practicality.

He particularly emphasized the importance of "Jerry's Visualization Method," which he said was far more effective than his "Purple Demon Eye."

These cultivation techniques were all painstakingly copied by Tang San, because the people of the Clear Sky Sect did not have cell phones, so Tang San had to copy them on their behalf.

Although Tang San resigned and lost some permissions on his phone, his cultivation techniques were not affected.

In the past, Tang San thought that the Spirit Hall had made a foolish mistake by publishing so many cultivation techniques and self-created soul skills.

However, when he arrived in Wuhun City in person, he realized that his previous idea was completely wrong.

Cultivation is not simply about learning skills; it also requires taking into account the factor of talent.

If you lack talent, even with the most advanced cultivation techniques and soul skills, you won't be able to truly master them.

Even among those with exceptional talent, some lack the ability to prioritize, wanting to cultivate everything they see. As a result, they excel in none of these cultivation methods, failing to achieve true mastery.

Judging from this result, the Spirit Hall did not suffer any major losses. On the contrary, it gained a good reputation by publishing the cultivation technique.

The technique is a good technique, and Tang San doesn't care about its source, as long as it can improve him.

Tang San explained to the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect that cultivation techniques are not divided into different schools; as long as a technique is good, everyone should practice it.

Instead of rejecting and ceasing to practice this technique simply because it originated from the Spirit Hall.

One day in the future, he fought against the Spirit Hall. He was originally far stronger than them, but in the end, he lost to them because of his spirit skills.

Tang San was unwilling to see such a scene, so he actively encouraged everyone to practice some of the Spirit Hall's techniques.

What could be more satisfying than defeating the enemy with the enemy's own stuff?

Tang San used this reason to persuade many members of the Clear Sky Sect to cultivate the secret manuals of the Spirit Hall.

At first, some people just watched and observed, but eventually they realized they couldn't beat disciples of the same level who were practicing the Spirit Hall's secret manuals. Feeling resentful, they also started practicing the Spirit Hall's secret manuals.

Because of Tang San's emphasis, almost every disciple of the Spirit Hall practiced the "Jerry Visualization Technique".

Moreover, this visualization method is indeed powerful, as it can enhance mental strength. It also comes with many techniques for using mental strength and mental strength soul skills.

Some disciples cultivated faster and their mental strength improved significantly, which made them stand out among the many disciples.

In the blink of an eye, a year passed like the wind, and the strength of everyone in the Haotian Sect improved silently and rapidly, like hibernating snakes.

This increase in strength, like a wildfire spreading, ignited their inner ambitions and broadened their horizons.

The disciples and elders of the Haotian Sect were no longer content with hiding in the deep mountains and forests, living a secluded life of cultivation.

Their goals have changed, and their ambitions have become as vast and unstoppable as the ocean.

After careful consideration and countless discussions, they decided on their future direction: to step back onto the world stage.

However, with this emergence, the two great empires certainly cannot be considered.

After all, the two great empires are backed by the Spirit Hall, and they don't believe that their current strength is enough to fight against the Spirit Hall.

They set their sights on one of the four great kingdoms within the Heavenly Dou Empire.

The Kingdom of Barak borders the Province of Fasno. Although it is called a kingdom, its area is only three-quarters the size of the Province of Fasno, and it belongs to the Heavenly Dou Empire.

To the south of the Barak Kingdom lies the Star Luo Empire. Although the Barak Kingdom possesses a strong military, its upper echelons are insignificant in the face of the rapidly growing power of the Haotian Sect.

Although the south borders the Star Luo Empire directly, which may provoke a joint resistance from the two empires, the Barak Kingdom's geographical location has a unique advantage, allowing it to both attack and defend.

Moreover, with Tang San, a god-level powerhouse, guarding the rear, what is there to fear?

The elders discussed it and quickly devised a meticulous plan.

Without Tang San's knowledge, the Clear Sky Sect took action.

With powerful backing, the Haotian Sect was in a strong position this time and directly took the decapitation strike.

This operation, like a raging torrent, swept through the long river of history, unstoppable.

Within half a month, the royal family of the Barak Kingdom was completely wiped out by the Haotian Sect, which then announced its takeover of the Barak Kingdom with great fanfare.

Some loyal ministers cursed and swore at the people of Haotian Sect.

This action was tantamount to lighting a fuse, immediately enraging the people of the Haotian Sect.

Thus began a brutal and merciless massacre.

Originally, the Haotian Sect wanted to keep these officials in order to better control the Barak Kingdom.

However, the people of the Haotian Sect were not so good-tempered when faced with their public insults; they did not tolerate being insulted.

They acted swiftly, killing wave after wave of ministers, and virtually eliminating anyone who dared to openly oppose them.

This violent and ruthless approach terrified many people, and some who were originally wavering in their convictions began to surrender.

Once the first cowardly person surrenders, the psychological defenses of others are greatly lowered, and they follow suit and surrender as well.

With this, the Haotian Sect gained absolute control over the Barak Kingdom.

However, this bloody coup also had serious consequences.

Because too many officials were killed, many affairs were severely delayed.

Don't be fooled by how skillfully the elders of the Haotian Sect handle sect affairs; the affairs of the nation are far more complex than those of a single sect.

For a time, things were extremely busy, and many disciples of the Haotian Sect were dispatched to relevant departments to handle affairs, which made those Haotian Sect disciples who usually only focused on cultivation complain bitterly.

Conquering a kingdom is easy, but maintaining it is not. They must deal with the complexities of running a kingdom.

At the same time, the Haotian Sect also realized that they had to quickly fill the power vacuum and ensure the stability of the kingdom.

They were aware of the situation of the sect's disciples, and they knew that if this went on for too long, these disciples who were sent to manage affairs would inevitably run into problems sooner or later.

Because many disciples resort to force to suppress dissent, the people in many parts of the kingdom are suffering greatly.

They know nothing but violent suppression, and when they encounter problems, they have no solutions and just keep dragging things out.

No one else dared to urge these Haotian Sect disciples, because they couldn't afford the consequences if they did.

When Tang San learned of the Clear Sky Sect's actions, he felt his anger burning like a flame.

He did not give the order himself, but the Haotian Sect acted on its own initiative. Although the operation was successful, this disregard for his authority still made him very uncomfortable.

Looking at the elders bowing their heads in remorse, his anger did not subside.

However, he ultimately did not choose to punish them, after all, they were his blood relatives, and he could not bring himself to do it to them.

While accepting the facts, Tang San also felt deeply helpless.

Upon arriving in the Kingdom of Barak, he was unable to contain his anger while inspecting the kingdom's affairs.

These people from the Haotian Sect only know how to fight; they lack effective management skills. Although they are incredibly brave on the battlefield, they are just a group of people who only know how to solve problems with force.

The kingdom's affairs were in complete disarray, and the people were suffering terribly.

Tang San had worked at the Spirit Hall Academy for so long that he had experienced many things.

The Spirit Hall Academy has a management major, which is further divided into many categories such as business management and economic management, specifically designed to cultivate management talents.

Tang San hadn't paid attention to these things before, but now the Clear Sky Sect had directly conquered a kingdom and killed so many ministers, leaving the administration incomplete.

Few disciples of the Haotian Sect possess management skills. After all, they are disciples of a sect, and their daily work revolves around cultivation; they have no experience in management.

Seeing this, Tang San was also at a loss.

Tang San had worked at the Spirit Hall Academy for many years, so even if he hadn't studied management, he still had some common sense.

He understood that the smooth functioning of a kingdom depended not only on strong military force, but also on effective management and leadership.

Therefore, he decided to develop a comprehensive management system to change the current state of the kingdom.

He summoned the elders and ministers to prepare for a meeting to discuss the matter.

This meeting lasted for more than a week.

However, the meeting did not go smoothly.

Although their proposed solution seemed reasonable, it actually contained many flaws.

The result was that nothing was discussed, and time was wasted.

Tang San realized that formulating management systems was not an easy task.

Even though Tang San is a god-level powerhouse, he was overwhelmed and exhausted during this week.

Not only Tang San, but everyone is like this.

Modifying the kingdom's previous management system is simply not suitable for the current situation.

Helpless, Tang San took out two books from his storage soul guide ring.

The cover features the large characters "Regulations for the Management of the Spirit Hall" and "The Development History of Spirit City".

There's no way around it; we have to admit that the Spirit Hall's items are indeed useful.

He had read both books; the management regulations covered all aspects of management and were very comprehensive and detailed.

The book on the development history may seem useless, but it plays a significant role in the development of the kingdom.

One section describes how Wuhun City was once extremely short of talent, and the measures taken by the Wuhun Hall to address this issue.

This experience made Tang San realize that management skills are crucial.

This applies not only to the management of the kingdom but also to the development of the Haotian Sect.

He selected a group of disciples from the Haotian Sect who had relatively poor talent and decided to cultivate their management skills.
