2547 Just Fine
Rui wasn't sure what to say to that.
He knew that he had extreme fame not only due to his incredible accomplishments but also by virtue of being the emperor in all but name at one point. Still, to think it would manifest in the form of record breaking success of the Water Sect.
"With the growth that it has seen in the past few months, it is clear that the Water Sect will eventually become a major sect in the Kandrian Empire, on par with the Fire, Earth, and Lightning Sects," his father continued. "The voidlet techniques that you planted in the academies many years ago during the Kandrian Throne War have sprouted into many Martial Artists who have mastered them and have gained Martial Paths tangentially related to Adaptive Evolution."
Rui recalled how he had created the voidlet techniques and introduced them into the Martial Union and the Academy more than a decade ago so that someday he would be able to create a sect centered around adaptive evolution when it was no longer super niche.
It had finally paid off after all these years, contributing to many Martial Artists who not only knew exactly what it was but also knew how to integrate it into their Martial Paths. Many Martial Apprentices, Squires, and Seniors had joined the Kandrian Empire in hordes.
"There are even Martial Masters who have chosen to join my sect!" Rui's eyes lit up.
"There are many Martial Masters who have broken through to the Master Realm thanks to all the breakthroughs you have done recently," his father pointed out. "Many have deep gratitude and admiration and have integrated the thought techniques that you have imparted to them into their Martial Minds." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Rui recalled that Sage Sayfeel had told him about a Martial Master having only broken through thanks to his thought techniques.
Still, Rui didn't expect that other Martial Artists would join his sect that had so little to offer them. Well, that wasn't strictly true.
Rui heaved a sigh. "Fine, I will just bully the Sekigahara Confederate into giving me one." The Emperor of Harmony heaved a resigned sigh. "Remember the bigger picture when you do that. The Sekigahara Confederate cannot be allowed to fall. For the sake of human civilization."
"I know. I'm generally rational as a person."
Emperor Rael gazed at him with an even more dubious expression.
"...Sometimes rational."
The Emperor of Harmony narrowed his eyes.
"Tsk, this conversation is over. Bye-bye, have fun being buried in paperwork."
Rui swiftly stormed out of Royal Palace while Emperor Rael shook his head with amusement and exasperation. "May Gaia save us all. What do you think, Sayfeel? Do you think it's wise to entrust the fate of human civilization to him?"
Sage Sayfeel glanced at the skywalking young Master in the distance. "I think he will be just fine, Your Majesty."
