How can simply creating a sect make you invincible?

A group of old monsters looked at the nameless monster with grim expressions. Thinking of the terrifying power of the Myriad Laws Sect, they shook their heads helplessly and went back.

Lu Chen looked at these old guys and smiled slightly: "You'd better not court death, or I wouldn't mind wiping out a few imperial clans for fun."

Half a day later...

In the main hall of the ancient Murong family, the patriarch sat high above, his gaze sweeping over the assembled Murong elders, and spoke: "Today, an unknown demonic beast from the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect has successfully passed the Great Emperor Tribulation. Counting the previous nine Great Emperors, the Myriad Laws Sect now has ten Great Emperors. Everyone, what is your opinion on this matter?"

"Ancestor, what is an 'unknown monster'? I don't quite understand." An elder asked cautiously.

The other elders nodded in agreement, expressing their own confusion.

The patriarch looked around at everyone and, seeing their puzzled expressions, slowly explained, "The 'unknown beast' refers to the species of this beast, which even I have never seen before. It resembles a dragon but is not a dragon, resembles a lion but is not a lion, its entire body is covered in scales, yet it is not the legendary Qilin; it is truly peculiar. After returning, I even went to the library to search, but I still couldn't find any record of this beast's species."

"Oh?"

The elders were all surprised. A demonic beast that even their ancestor didn't recognize? This was indeed a bit tricky.

At this moment, the Grand Elder rose and bowed slightly to the Ancestor, saying, "Ancestor, the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect has an extremely profound foundation. With our current strength, it is not advisable to antagonize them, but there is no need to deliberately try to please them either. Everything can remain as before. All matters can be discussed after our three Great Emperor Ancestors in the Starry Sky return."

"The Grand Elder is absolutely right," the Murong family head continued. "For now, we just need to avoid provoking the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect. However, we also need to discuss countermeasures with the other families as soon as possible. They probably don't want to see the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect become the only dominant force, dominating them."

The other elders echoed, "The patriarch is right! With just one or two families, we are no match for the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect. We must unite with more forces to have any chance of winning."

"Hmm, well said." The patriarch nodded. "Then you will be responsible for contacting the Huangfu family, the Xuanyuan family, the Yaoguang Holy Land, and the Taiqing Holy Land, and inviting them to be guests of our Murong family."

"Ancestor, aren't Qinglan Academy, Guiyuan Sword Pavilion, and Tianbao Pavilion going to invite them?" the Murong family head asked.

"There's no need to invite them for now. Qinglan Academy and Guiyuan Sword Pavilion have always been aloof from worldly affairs, focusing only on recruiting disciples and rarely paying attention to external conflicts. If we invite them now, they will most likely refuse. As for Tianbao Pavilion, it is rumored that they have close ties with Wanfa Sect. If Tianbao Pavilion leaks the news that we are going to deal with Wanfa Sect, all of our families will be doomed."

"Ancestor is wise; it was your oversight," the Murong family head bowed and said. "However, Ancestor, I believe we should also involve the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion in our fight against the Myriad Laws Sect. If we can obtain the assistance of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion's Sky-Gazing Emperor, our future actions will be much more convenient."

"Alright then," the patriarch pondered, "you first arrange for someone to invite the families I just mentioned to come as guests. As for the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, send someone to probe their attitude towards the Myriad Laws Sect. If they also harbor resentment towards the Myriad Laws Sect, then we can reveal our entire plan."

"Your Excellency is wise! I'll take care of it right away."

Meanwhile, similar scenes were unfolding in other major powers, with everyone wearing expressions of worry.

Inside the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, several patriarchs fell into deep thought. With the opening of the Path to Immortality drawing ever closer, numerous Great Emperors would inevitably return. The Myriad Laws Sect currently held absolute power, and other forces would certainly not sit idly by; they would undoubtedly join forces to deal with it. Under these circumstances, what should the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion do?

"Ancestor, why don't we first discuss this with the Guiyuan Sword Pavilion and see what their opinion is on this matter?" Liu Bai suggested.

"Okay, we'll do it your way."

Within Wanfa Sect...

Ning Tian and Mu Qingcheng stood in front of Lu Chen, their expressions hesitant, as if they wanted to say something but couldn't.

"Just say what's on your mind, don't beat around the bush," Lu Chen said.

"Master, both I and Junior Sister Qingcheng have encountered cultivation bottlenecks and wish to go out and gain some experience to see if we can break through to the Saint Realm," Ning Tian said.

Upon hearing that her brother and sister Qingcheng were going out to train, Xiao Ningyun, who was lying next to Lu Chen, sat up abruptly and exclaimed, "That's right, Master! I've also reached a bottleneck in my cultivation. If I go out and train, I'm sure I can break through to the Saint realm!"

"You've only just entered the mid-stage of the Saint Realm, where did this bottleneck come from?" Lu Chen said.

"Master, it's true! If you don't believe me, ask Xiao Hou and Jin Xiao!" Xiao Ningyun hurriedly defended herself.

As soon as Xiao Ningyun finished speaking, Lu Hou and Jin Xiao immediately turned their heads to the side, as if they didn't recognize the girl in front of them.

"You're so stupid! You can't even come up with a decent excuse. How are we supposed to help you like this?" Jin Xiao thought to himself.

Lu Chen smiled helplessly and said, "The Overlord Peak Master just sent me a message saying that Kun Kun and the Mage will also be going out for training in the next couple of days. You guys can come along."

"Yes... Master, I will send a message to my two junior brothers, Kun Kun and the Dharma Master, shortly." Ning Tian replied.

"Master, I want to go out and train too, please!" Xiao Ningyun tugged at Lu Chen's sleeve and pleaded.

Lu Chen looked at Ning Yun, who looked aggrieved, and then at the two divine beasts on either side of him, their six eyes staring at him with longing. After thinking for a moment, he said, "You can go out, but once you're out, you must listen to Qingcheng and not run around."

"Yay—!" Little Ningyun cheered excitedly, "Master, you're so kind! Don't worry, I'll definitely listen to Sister Qingcheng after we get out!"

"Remember, when you're out there, you must be prepared to do as you please, without provoking others or causing trouble, but don't be afraid of trouble either. As long as you're in the right, even if you cause a huge uproar, I'll cover for you."

"Yes, Master!" the two replied in unison. Hearing their master's words, they felt reassured.

"Alright, you may all go and prepare."

Lu Chen smiled and said no more. With Lu Hou around, no one in the Xuanhuang Continent could harm them, let alone a little phoenix at the second level of Quasi-Emperor. In addition, with the master-disciple jade pendant, he didn't need to worry about their safety at all; it would be good enough if they didn't bully others.

"Sect Master, you really spoil Ningyun too much," Hua Ruoxi said with a smile.

"Really? I seem to treat every disciple the same, don't I?" Lu Chen asked, somewhat surprised.

"Of course it's different." Hua Ruoxi shook her head. "The other disciples, including Ning Tian, ​​all have some respect for you. But the way you get along with Xiao Ningyun seems more like a father and daughter."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen sighed softly, "When I took them as disciples, they were being hunted down, and their family was wiped out that day. After bringing them back to the sect, this girl has been clinging to me every day. From that day on, Ning Yun probably already considers the Myriad Laws Sect her home. Besides, Ning Yun is still young and doesn't have as many concerns as the other disciples."

"So it turns out that such things happened to the two Ning disciples. Fortunately, they met you, Sect Master," Hua Ruoxi said with emotion.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, make me a cup of tea." Lu Chen changed the subject.

Inside the Overlord Peak, Kun Kun received a message from Senior Brother Ning Tian and was somewhat surprised: "The Sect Master wants us to go out for training together? That's good, it'll be more lively on the road with more people."

The next morning, after bidding farewell to their respective masters, Ning Tian, ​​Mu Qingcheng, Xiao Ningyun, Kun Kun, the mage, and the two divine beasts Lu Hou and Jin Xiao gathered at the sect square.

Upon seeing Lu Hou in Xiao Ningyun's arms, Kun Kun and the mage quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Divine Beast Lord! Greetings, Senior Sister Ningyun, Senior Brother Ningtian, and Senior Sister Qingcheng!"

"Junior brothers, you don't need to bow anymore. Just call me Junior Sister," Xiao Ningyun said, waving her hand.

"How could we refuse such a gift? The creature lying in your arms is a divine beast at the Emperor Realm!" the two muttered to themselves.

"Junior Sister is right. We don't need to be so formal anymore. Don't call her 'Divine Beast Master' when we're out; just treat the beast in her arms as an ordinary monster. When we're out together, we can address each other as Senior Brother and Senior Sister," Mu Qingcheng said.

"Okay," Kun Kun replied.

The monk then looked at Mu Qingcheng. "Senior Sister Qingcheng, where will we go for our next training mission? Will we go to the Southern Region or the Northern Region?"

"Let's go to Central Continent," Ning Tian said. "I've never been to Central Continent before. I've heard that it's much more prosperous than our Eastern Region, and the spiritual energy there is extremely rich."

"Yes, I agree with Senior Brother's suggestion. I also want to go to Zhongzhou to see the geniuses there," Mu Qingcheng nodded.

"Since both senior brothers and sisters have suggested going to Central Continent, then let's go there," the monk said. "I also want to see if the prodigies of Central Continent are truly as powerful as the rumors suggest!"
