How can simply creating a sect make you invincible?

"Oh! So it's the sect leader renovating the sect. You scared me! I thought someone was going to attack the sect!"

After the commotion subsided, the crowd erupted in cheers.

"Look everyone! The sect has grown much larger, the plaza has been widened, the mountains are even more majestic, and the spiritual energy is even more abundant. Everything in the sect is more like a fairyland! Hahaha!"

"The sect leader is truly powerful; he even knows such profound magic."

"Ding, characters have been summoned. Congratulations, host, you have obtained four Great Saint-level alchemists and four Great Saint-level weapon refiners."

Deep in the back mountain, eight figures were flying towards the sect leader's main hall.

"That's right, the sect is currently lacking talent in alchemy and weapon crafting."

Eight people entered through the entrance of the main hall.

"Your subordinates Yao Tian, ​​Yao Xuan, Yao Fu, Yao Tian, ​​Cang Li, Cang Zhi, Cang Qin, and Cang Jin pay their respects to the Sect Master."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "There's no need for such formalities. The sect needs your help to develop, and I feel much more at ease with your participation."

Yao Tian stepped forward and said respectfully, "Sect Master, rest assured, we will certainly use our skills to refine high-quality pills for the sect and enhance the strength of our disciples."

The weapon refiner Cang Li followed up, saying, "We will also be able to forge suitable magic weapons, which will further enhance the combat power of the sect's disciples."

Lu Chen nodded in satisfaction: "Then you should go and get to know the disciples first, see who is interested in alchemy and weapon crafting, and train them. Yao Tian, ​​you will be the Grand Elder of the Alchemy Hall from now on. Cang Li, you will be the Grand Elder of the Weapon Crafting Hall."

"Alright, you can all go back to your own business!"

"Elder Shen, please inform the elders at the peak of the Great Saint Realm to enter the cave in the back mountain in batches to cultivate in order to break through to the Quasi-Emperor Realm, without affecting the operation of the sect."

"Yes, Sect Master, I'll take care of it right away."

at this time.

Lu Qingfeng and Jun Xiaoyao led Ning Tian and the other four into the sect's main hall. "Your subordinates greet the sect leader!"

"Disciple greets Master!"

"Disciple greets Sect Master!"

"Yes! No need for formalities, please rise!"

"You five all performed well during this training. Qingruo, Kunkun, and the Master, you three will each receive a peach and an ounce of Enlightenment Tea. From now on, you three will be promoted to core disciples."

Upon hearing the words "core disciples," the three were thrilled and quickly bowed, saying, "Disciples thank the sect leader for his guidance!"

"Ning Tian and Qing Cheng, you two currently have ample resources. If you need anything, just let your master know."

"Yes, Master."

"Qingruo, release old man Nangong!"

Qingruo nodded and took out a longsword from her storage ring. A flash of light appeared, and Nangong Yuan's soul slowly floated out. He surveyed the unfamiliar surroundings, his eyes filled with emotion.

Upon seeing Lu Chen on the high seat, Nangong Yuan quickly bowed and said, "Nangong Yuan greets the Sect Master."

"No need for formalities. Nangong, now is the time for the sect to develop. Take this sacred medicine first to stabilize your soul."

"The supreme holy medicine, the Soul-Gathering Flower?"

Nangong Yuan was thrilled: "With this Soul-Gathering Flower, my remnant soul can be completely stabilized. As long as I find a suitable body, I can be reborn! I thank the Sect Master for this gift, and I will definitely do my best for the sect in the future!"

"Stop talking nonsense and take it!"

Without further hesitation, Nangong Yuan swallowed the Soul-Gathering Flower. As the immense soul power flowed into his body, his remnant soul solidified considerably, no longer as ethereal and transparent as before.

A moment later...

"Nangong Yuan thanks the sect leader."

Lu Chen casually tossed another spirit body into Nangong Yuan's sight: "This is the Sword Spirit Body, the most suitable physical body for you. Now, fuse with it."

Looking at this spiritual body, Nangong Yuan was excited, but also filled with mixed feelings. He never expected that he would be able to live again after 100,000 years.

He knelt down and solemnly kowtowed, saying, "Nangong Yuan thanks the Sect Master!"

"Let's merge now! After merging, let's familiarize ourselves with the sect."

Without a word, Nangong Yuan's soul merged directly into this spiritual body. He felt his soul and body fusing, his bones emitting soft "clicking" sounds, like two keys meshing together. As time passed, Nangong Yuan slowly opened his eyes, experiencing his new body.

Nangong Yuan was thrilled, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "This subordinate thanks the sect leader."

"Hmm! Not bad. After fusing with the new body, you still have the cultivation of a Saint King. Let's slowly familiarize ourselves with the new body first, and then gradually restore our cultivation level!"

"Sect Master, these are resources from the Sword Tower and the Lingyun Sword Sect."

Su Qingruo held a small tower and a spatial ring in her hand and said.

Lu Chen casually waved his hand, and the small tower flew out of the main hall and landed heavily on the open ground of the square.

"You five can split the resources inside the ring equally! If you don't like the cultivation techniques and martial arts skills, you can exchange them for contribution points."

Lu Chen noticed that Mu Qingcheng seemed hesitant to speak, as if she had something to say but dared not open her mouth.

"Qingcheng, is there something you need? Why don't you tell your master?"

"Master, I would like to ask you to help me... to annul the engagement. I don't want to marry that Li Haoyang."

"Qingcheng, I almost forgot about this if you hadn't mentioned it. Don't worry, as your master, I'm your elder. I'll accompany you home tomorrow to cancel the engagement."

"Disciple thanks Master!"

Suddenly, a voice came from beside the main hall: "Master, I want to go out and play too!"

Upon hearing that she could leave, Xiao Ningyun rushed in, holding Lu Hou in her arms.

Everyone found it somewhat amusing to see the junior sister's excited expression.

Looking at Ning Yun's expectant face, Lu Chen said, "Okay, I'll take you and your junior sister Qingcheng back tomorrow."

Lu Chen had promised her that he would take her out to play once she reached the Golden Core Realm, and this was a good opportunity to fulfill his promise.

"yeah!"

Ning Yun, beaming with excitement, hugged Lu Chen's leg and said, "Thank you, Master!"

"Master, there is one more thing I need to report to you. After we entered the secret realm, we were assassinated. We later discovered that it was done by people from the Heavenly Demon Sect. Their target was not just us, but all the disciples of the sects in the secret realm," Ning Tian said.

Ning Tian then recounted everything that had happened in the secret realm.

"Oh, that's interesting... I'll deal with the Heavenly Demon Sect after I help Qingcheng cancel her engagement."

"You may all leave now! Take some time to process what you've learned from this experience."

The setting sun, like blood, stained the broken walls and ruins of the Heavenly Demon Sect's headquarters. The withered fingers of the black-robed old man twirled a skull-shaped jade pendant, his sinister gaze sweeping over the richly dressed man below the steps.

"Does Young Master Li truly intend to cooperate with my sect?" His hoarse voice was like sandpaper rubbing against a bluestone. "Know that once you step through this door, there is no turning back."

Li Haoyang's lips curled into a cold smile: "So what if it's the demonic path? As long as it helps me get revenge and ascend the throne, that's enough." He clenched his fist tightly, his knuckles turning white.

The old man cackled, "Very good. This is the Heart-Eating Gu. Take it. After you take it, we will all be true friends. As long as you dare to have any disloyal thoughts, you will suffer the pain of the Heart-Eating Gu every moment."

Li Haoyang took the Heart-Eating Gu and swallowed it without hesitation. As his throat bobbed, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.

"Young Master Li is so straightforward, hahaha."

"When can I send someone back to the capital with me? Mu Qingcheng should be coming to annul the engagement soon, and I can't disappear for too long, otherwise my father will become suspicious of me."

"Don't worry, Young Master Li, we can set off at any time."

"It would be best if your sect sent a sage, because there is definitely a sage among those accompanying Mu Qingcheng."

"Don't worry, my Heavenly Demon Sect is not as simple as you think. I will arrange for two Saints to accompany you back later to help you seize the throne. As for Mu Qingcheng, whom you mentioned, we will lure away the Saints of the Myriad Laws Sect, and the rest is up to you."

"If you still can't succeed with this, then it's your problem."

"Very good. Once you've dealt with the Sage of the Myriad Laws Sect, things will be much easier for me."
