Chapter 513 The Sect's Future Direction

w.a.n.g Wei could feel the previous connection his Qi Luck had to the sect had further strengthened. As the new sect master, the boost in comprehension the sect's Qi Luck gave him was noticeable even to someone like him.

w.a.n.g Wei had never worried about his comprehension, but he also welcomed any improvement since he knew he would need it when comprehending his Grand Dao Source.

Another benefit of the sect's Qi Luck blessing is that w.a.n.g Wei's immunity to curses drastically increasedespecially curses of misfortune. It's a shame that protection is not the main effect of Qi Luck, so high-level curses are still effective against the [Sect Master].

After checking these things, w.a.n.g Wei took the talisman gave him and used his Divine Sense to read and process all the information contained inside.

And w.a.n.g Wei had to admit he was shocked. Although he knew the sect was wealthy and had ample resources, he did not know precisely how much. For example, he knew the sect had the resources to raise more than 30 of his incarnations, which was an estimate on the low end.

'Should I embezzle some resources? If I do it properly, no one will notice for some time. By then, I will have raised all my incarnations and promised to repay the sect.'

For a brief moment, w.a.n.g Wei felt some temptation to commit corruption before quickly removing this idea from his mind. Nevertheless, he wanted to know if he could find some more resources for his incarnations now that he was the sect master.

Regrettably, the price of 3 Incarnations his father gave him took into account his position as the sect master. So, he could not do anything about it.

So, after smiling wrily, w.a.n.g Wei began to visit and check the Secret Realm, Trial s.p.a.ces, and overall secrets of the Dao Opening Sect that only the sect master can know.

He was genuinely amazed at the sect's foundation. Although he did not have other sects or factions to compare, he honestly doubted whether any other sects had such a deep foundationeven the Enligtenened Emperor Academy.

Moreover, w.a.n.g Wei knew the information he learned was mostly not the whole truth. Some knowledge or information is only pa.s.sed down from mouth to mouth, and some even the sect master cannot know unless they become Immortal-Tier powerhouses.

After checking these things, w.a.n.g Wei's last step to becoming sect master was to refine the token that allows him to summon the sect's Emperor Arrays and Artifacts.

A few days later, after all the guests had left and the ceremony officially ended, w.a.n.g Wei met in Tianwei Peak with all the new generation Elders who replaced the older ones.

The first to show up were Li Jun, Yan Liling, w.a.n.g Ju, and Tie Gang. Li Jun was now the Elder of the Punis.h.i.+ng Hall, replacing Great Elder Yan Mei. Yan Lililing replaced Great Elder Li Jian as the leader of the Alchemy Hall.

w.a.n.g Ju replaced Li Jun's father as the elder of the Resources Hall, but that is only one of her position on the surface. As for Tie Gang, he took over the Sword Hall that previously housed w.a.n.g Tian's army from his generation.

The Hall is now known as the Military Hall, and most of w.a.n.g Wei's army in this generation falls under the jurisdiction of this Hall.

The four of them chatted about many things: Li Jun and w.a.n.g Wei's [Dream Training Art]. In the past thousands of years of retreat, w.a.n.g Wei never stopped battling different opponentsmostly Di Tianday after day without missing a moment.

And after his retreat, he would receive all the memories of the battle to increase his Battle IQ.

They talked about Yan Liling's Automated Pill Cauldron. In the past few hundred years, she improved the cauldron to refine a few more Heaven Tier Pills, but the quality and number are still subpar.

So, w.a.n.g Wei gave her his understanding of Arrayincluding the new type of array he recently created: Micro Array. Instead of using large divine runes to move the power of Heaven and Earth, Array Masters can use multiple micro-size arrays.

This method increases the power of any arrays between 3-10 times, is more versatile, and is more difficult to detect.

Yan Liling was excited by this method; she was confident that she would soon be able to optimize the cauldron to make Saint-Tier Pills. The only downside was her talent for Array Making was not as good as her Pill Refining talent, so it would take a lot longer to learn this method.

However, w.a.n.g Wei did not mind waiting. Her cauldron is very important to his plan after proving the Dao. And given he did not have the time or interest to refine the cauldron, he was glad that someone else was.

Furthermore, it was good for his team members to have goals and ambitions. So, he even lent her his Time Innate treasure since he would not be using it any time soon.

As for Tie Gang, he had become a military man, focusing on training his soldiers to be the best they could be. And w.a.n.g Wei respected his dedication and never stopped supporting him as he knew he would need a large army for his plans.

Then, w.a.n.g Wei remembered something, so he asked w.a.n.g Ju: "Did you check on the Warring Kingdom World as I instructed?"

"I did, and it disappeared."

"How come?"

"According to our conclusion, someone or something moved the entire world from its original position."

w.a.n.g Wei frowned as the power of fate and Karma flashed across his eyes. Then, he smiled. "This girl is quite ambitious," he muttered before looking in one direction.

His eyes penetrated a considerable distance to see a young woman drinking tea in front of a small cottage and looking at the sun. She had a peaceful temperament surrounding her; it was like her the strifes and complications of the cultivation world had nothing to her.

She appeared to be someone dedicated slowly to cultivation, and nothing else mattered to her. And given that she was at the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm and very close to comprehending the Law, she was successful in her cultivation journey for her age.

This woman was Yu Siyu, Dong Lifen's master. Before leaving the Warring Kingdom World, he brought her back to the sect while Dong Lifen stayed in the Lower Realm.

w.a.n.g Wei looked at the woman's Qi Luck and found an anomaly. With her talent and foundation, she should not be able to keep up with the Heaven Chosens of this world.

However, she had such achievement because of her temperament suited for cultivation, hard work and dedication, and a powerful Qi Luck blessing not coming from the sect.

w.a.n.g Wei smiled and no longer paid attention to her. Not long after, the other Elders arrived. They were all younger generation members and very close to entering the Void Shattering Realm, so w.a.n.g Wei quickly recognized most of them.

Most were from the three families, and w.a.n.g Wei remembered interacting with some of them as a child, for the rest were the Contemporary Sacred Sons who once competed for him for the position.

"Welcome, fellow Elders," said w.a.n.g Wei with a smile before going over the things they need to oversee to ensure the sect keeps functioning correctly.

Regarding management, w.a.n.g Wei did not have to make many changes. After a few tips from his past life, he increased the productivity of the sect by 35%, which was not much but enough to be noticeable.

Regarding discipline and corruption, Li Jun has been in his position far longer than w.a.n.g Wei, and knowing how he did things; he took care of the issue by removing some cancers in the sect.

w.a.n.g Wei's father and grandfather might be a little lenient regarding some small stuff regarding the clan members' behavior, but this was not the case for w.a.n.g Wei. So, Li Jun was extremely tough on these people and punished them according to their crimes.

The revenue of the sect has been drastically increasing in the past few thousand years. And that was because of w.a.n.g Wei's idea of standardizing the portions in pill and weapon refining formulas.

The result of this change is the increase in the number of low-level Alchemists and Weapon Refiners the sect could cultivate. And with such a large quant.i.ty, they managed to increase their control in the market share of low-level pills and weapons in the entire Myriad Emperor World.

w.a.n.g Wei's idea of recreating certain modern creations to benefit mortals has been going well in the domains controlled by the sect. And after ten thousand years, numerous generations have pa.s.sed, and these things have become common in these domains.

Because of the environment, some mortals in the Dao Opening Sect have evolved. Quite a few of them were born with high Spiritual Strenght, so a new profession was born: Spiritual Refiners.

These mortals did not have any cultivation, and most did not even have the talent to do so. However, with their spiritual strength, they have developed ways to craft magical weapons as long as they have origin stones.

Many sect members worried about these mortals, so w.a.n.g Wei explained to them that this development was nothing but them evolving so that they no longer rely on cultivators to refine the constructs like the train (Dragon Roaming Construct) or the plan (Phoenix Soaring Construct).

These mortals had now entered the stage of self-reliance, which was not necessarily bad.

So, after w.a.n.g Wei explained these mortals were a great talent pool for the sect, and given that these evolved mortals had a lifespan of only 120 years, the sect decided to leave them alone and develop.

Near the end of the meeting, after reviewing everything needed to check, w.a.n.g Wei said: "I only have a few changes I will make.

"First, I will reinstate uniforms for outer and inner disciples. It is a great way to strengthen the unity of the disciples." The sect used to have uniforms, but in his grandfather's generation, he abolished them.

And his father did not dare or care to reinstate them.

"Just to ensure, Core Disciples do not have to wear uniforms?"

"That's correct," replied w.a.n.g Wei.

The sect divided disciples into outer and inner disciples based on their cultivation. Then, the top ten most powerful inner disciples have the t.i.tle or position of Contemporary Sacred Son and compete for the sect's position as Heaven Chosen.

Once someone acquires the t.i.tle, the others will become Core Disciples. The core disciples are trained as Elders and Great Elders of the sect, so the number of spots is limited.

w.a.n.g Wei then showed them the uniforms he had designed for them. After reading so many webtoons in his past life, he could design a uniform mostly with ancient style while adding a touch of modern concepts.

"The second change is regarding the Emergency Drills; we have to train our disciples better to react to danger."

The others nodded, especially since they had experienced the World Collision. So, they understood the benefit of fast reactions in times of crisis.

"The third change is a decrease in the prices of resources."

Many people immediately frowned after hearing this. The Dao Opening Sect has a Sect Point System, so if any disciple or Elders want specific resources, they have to use sect points or contributions to exchange them.

There is a Mission System that allows disciples to acquire Sect Points. The disciples and Elders can exchange sect points by accomplis.h.i.+ng these missions or exchanging resources they acquire from outside.

There are a variety of missions, from the ones involving using strength to the ones focusing on the different professions. Additionally, the Exchange Hall forms a perfect system with the Mission Hall and the Resources Hall.

As long as a disciple exchanges something valuable to the secteven something as rumors or informationthey can acquire sect points. And with said points, they can exchange resourceswhich prices have been precisely calculated.

So, if the prices suddenly decreased, there would be a few troubles.

"Sect Master, we know that lowering the prices will motivate the disciples and increase their strength. However, there is the issue of a decrease in the sect's overall resources.

"If the disciples consumed more resources than we can replenish, the sect's foundation would be ruined after a few thousand generations."

"I'm perfectly aware of this," replied w.a.n.g Wei. "Hence the reason for my last change. We will not focus more on other worlds in our World Community."

Everyone became serious after hearing this as they knew real changes would occur.

"Our sect controls a few worlds with some rare resources. But this is far from enough," continued w.a.n.g Wei.

"From now on, we will establish branches of the sect in many Low and Middle Thousand Worlds. We will recruit talented individuals all over these worlds and gather resources.

"If some of them are talented enough, they can be immediately brought back to the Myriad Emperor World. At the same time, we will establish a system that after the Lower Realm disciples reach a certain standard, they can come here to cultivate."

"That's a great idea," said Yan Liling. "This method will drastically increase our sect's talent pool while also gathering resources from multiple sources."

"True, as long as the number of people entering the branches is not too large," said another Elder.

"That's obvious."

"Many people from the Lower Realm cannot improve because of the environment. So, we can make a rule that as long as these people are loyal and devote themselves to our sect, they can exchange their sect points to come to the main world after a certain period."

"Great idea, but another problem is finding other Worlds will be an issue."

w.a.n.g Wei waved his hand to show them a map of all the worlds his Soul Network found, lighting these Elders' eyes up.

"Sect Master, what about Great Thousand World? Are we going to set up branches there as well?"

"We will but not now. We will wait for success in the other worlds and until the previous generations enter the Supreme Realm."

"Are we conquering these worlds?" asked Tie Gang.

"Unless something special occurs, we will use a more peaceful approach for now. However, I foresee that some worlds will not allow foreign influences, so you should be prepared to deploy and deal with any issues."

"If we want this plan to succeed, the Refining Hall has to build more Void Boats," commented Li Jun. "And the Array Hall has to prepare more Array Master to build Transplanar Teleportation Arrays."

"The Resources Hall has to give us the things we need to do these things," said the Elder of the Refining Hall, and w.a.n.g Ju nodded before saying:

"There is no problem, but you people tend to report way above what you truly need. Plus, don't hesitate to take from your Hall's private resource pool."

The heads of the Profession Halls were slightly embarra.s.sed but quickly controlled their emotions.

After that, the sect's discussion continued to iron out the small detail, then everyone dispersed.
