Chapter 538: Chapter 278: Sun Moon Divine Sect Opening Ceremony_2

“You all continue to watch here.” Lin Yi gestured lightly and left on his sword.

Many disciples present were not surprised by Lin Yi’s actions, as after all, Yun Yi Zen Ren was renowned in the sect for being a compassionate and saintly man. Before he had even reached the Golden Core stage, he had issued tasks to capture Evil Spirits for salvation.

Upon returning to Yun Yi Peak, Lin Yi continued in seclusion. Now the Sun Moon Divine Sect had yet to be established and there were many things that needed to be done. Since he had decided to establish the sect, he could not do things by halves.

After returning to the Xuan Yin Sect through the Dan God’s secret realm, Lin Yi managed to save all the evil spirits in the Demon Nurturing Pool. However, he left the pool, filled with Yin Qi, behind.

There were three Nascent Souls in his body. The positive Nascent Soul, also known as the Yang Nascent Soul, was on top, below which was the opposite Nascent Soul, also known as the Yin Nascent Soul, which absorbed Yin Qi to achieve higher enhancements.

The Nascent Soul in the middle, composed of the Golden Core, served as a bridge for communication between the upper and lower Nascent Souls and was the most normal Nascent Soul, without any special divine skills.

The salvation activity today not only earned him Virtue Points but also earned him a good person’s points. At the same time, his titles, “Little Compassion, Little Sympathy” and [Nice Person], upgraded.

After Lin Yi returned to Xuan Yin Peak, he entered the hall. Jade Illusion Zen Ren, along with the other hundred women, all saluted, saying, “Greetings, Sect Master.”

He nodded and said to Jade Illusion Zen Ren, “Jade Illusion, take them to settle in the Outer Sect. Also, announce to the Cultivation World that our Sun Moon Divine Sect will hold its founding ceremony in a month and recruit disciples. We will not send out invitations; anyone willing is welcome to come.”

The founding ceremony was unavoidable after all – at the very least, it was a good opportunity to receive gifts.

Regarding the Protective Sect Array, he had already consulted with Pill Immortal Master. A few modifications to the base of the Xuan Yin Sect would not take much time, yet they could significantly increase the might of the array.

“Yes, Sect Master.” Jade Illusion Zen Ren saluted, leading these female disciples to the Outer Sect Area

As for Lin Yi, he began to modify the Protective Sect Array according to the guidance of Pill Immortal Master. Even though establishing the Sun Moon Divine Sect would not be half-hearted, he would not focus entirely on this and would still prioritize cultivation.

Once he advanced to the Deification Realm, he would be genuinely unbeatable in this Cultivation World. Even if evil creatures from the Upper Realm or Different World descended here, they would not be a match for him.

As for the Sun Moon Divine Sect’s cultivation methods and the like, he did not plan to develop anything specific. Instead, he planned to let all the disciples bloom, allowing every cultivation method to coexist here.

At the same time, he planned to establish a transformation array to transform the Extreme Yin Energy here into ordinary spiritual energy for some disciples to cultivate.

All disciples that were recruited would only be Outer Sect Disciples, and only after passing certain tests could they be promoted to Inner Sect Disciples.

To become an Inner Sect Disciple of the Sun Moon Divine Sect, one not only needs spiritual roots and personality, but also attractiveness. He wanted to establish a sect full of beauties. It would be pleasant to the eyes to see them every day.

The news about the upcoming founding ceremony of the Sun Moon Divine Sect spread throughout the entire Cultivation World quickly, thanks to the dissemination by Jade Illusion Zen Ren and numerous cultivators.

In the past, a newly established sect would always send out invitations, including those who successfully advanced to the ranks of the Ten Major Sects.

However, the Sun Moon Divine Sect was different. ‘Come if you wish’, it seemed like a trap for willing parties.

Even though that was how it seemed, even without sending out invitations, many sects decided to go and celebrate. After all, this was the only opportunity to get in contact with and establish a good relationship with the Sun Moon Divine Sect.

Especially the Ten Major Sects, all decided to go. They didn’t mind preparing some gifts, but if they didn’t go, they might end up on the Eastern Sect Master’s blacklist. In that case, even the slightest provocation would put them at risk of annihilation.

After refining the array, Lin Yi activated it for a test run. Just as expected, he couldn’t break the array even with his full strength.

Later, he went to the treasury of each peak of the Xuan Yin Sect and took inventory of all resources, including all the mines owned by the Xuan Yin Sect.

After becoming a Nascent Soul True Monarch, Lin Yi’s enhanced divine sense allowed him to be aware of everything in the Liu Yun Sect, including its resources.

After taking stock of Xuan Yin Sect’s resources, Lin Yi couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. No wonder it was the number one sect of heretics, its resources surpassed those of the Liu Yun Sect.

Particularly the storage items possessed by the Xuan Yin Sect cultivators that he had killed contained numerous resources. The storage ring of Lord Xuan Ming, was also reclaimed by him with fire.

With these resources and those from the Canghua Sect, the Sun Moon Divine Sect will have enough to be developed into a major force in the future.

He purged anything that contained yin evil qi, including certain places of yin evil on the various peaks.

Soon, the entire Sun Moon Divine Sect’s ambiance was completely renewed, no longer having that oppressive feeling. Under the influence of the changed formation, there was also a normal flow of spiritual energy in the sect.

One month later, the Sun Moon Divine Sect’s inauguration ceremony officially commenced, with representatives of the highest cultivation levels sent from all major sects. The Sky Sword Sect was led by True Monarch Lin Xiao.

The Liu Yun Sect was personally led by Lord Xuan Qing. Despite his severe injuries, he was willing to make the effort as he owed his life and the safety of his sect to the Eastern Sect Master. He insisted on showing up to the celebration event even if he had to be carried there.

Green Jade Zen Ren, the sect master of the Liu Yun Sect, initially wanted Lin Yi to accompany him, but Lin Yi politely declined. Claiming that he needed to continue his cultivation seclusion, as he himself was the Eastern Sect Master, he couldn’t possibly celebrate while representing the Liu Yun Sect as well.

Therefore, Green Jade Zen Ren stayed home to manage affairs of the Liu Yun Sect while Lord Xuan Qing led four golden core stage disciples to the Sun Moon Divine Sect to partake in the celebrations.

Among them were Drunken Immortal, Jing Yun Zen Ren Zhou Yun Feng, Xuan Sha Zen Ren, and Divine Fire Zen Ren. Neither of the two female Golden Core stage members went. They were worried they might be retained by the Eastern Sect Master in the Sun Moon Divine Sect, like what happened with Jade Illusion Zen Ren.

Previously, the Liu Yun Sect had twelve Golden Core Real Persons but now, with Jade Illusion Zen Ren having gone to the Sun Moon Divine Sect and the traitors Hua Yang and Wan Jun dead, only nine real persons remain. Even Elder Xuan Qing was seriously injured and may be unable to recover to his peak state.

Fortunately, Golden Sword Zen Ren was about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. When that happens, the strength of Liu Yun Sect won’t decrease too much.

As for the Hehuan Sect’s representatives, all of them were beautiful female cultivators. Even if the Eastern Sect Master were to take a liking to one or two of them, they would be able to form a relationship with the Sun Moon Divine Sect through this.

After a round of discussions, the two Nascent Soul elders of the Sky Demon Sect and Blood Demonic Sect also decided to attend in person. After all, the Eastern Sect Master previously spared them. As long as they did not provoke the Sect Master, they should be safe.

Therefore, they brought well-behaved Golden Core real persons who understood the rules with them and strictly ordered them not to cause any trouble on their way.

The True Monarch of DanYang from Medicine God Valley had fallen and the funeral ceremony had not yet been conducted. Due to the upcoming Sun Moon Divine Sect’s inauguration ceremony, they dared not hold a funeral before such a joyous occasion.

The gifts they brought to the Sun Moon Divine Sect were extremely generous considering that the Eastern Sect Master had killed Lord Xuan Ming as revenge for their Nascent Soul Ancestor.

The day before the commencement of the sect’s coming-of-age ceremony, many sects’ congratulatory teams arrived at the Sun Moon Divine Sect early. Surprisingly, as soon as they entered the range of the Sun Moon Divine Sect, they could no longer feel the dark yin qi which had previously been overwhelming; only the extreme yin qi remained.

This sense of safety made many righteous sects relax. As expected, the Eastern Sect Master was different from the heretical sects.

When they reached the inner door gate of the Sun Moon Divine Sect, all the congratulatory teams obediently descended and entered via the gate’s formation. Even True Monarchs with Nascent Soul level cultivation were no exception.

If these Nascent Soul True Monarchs visited other sects, the sects would simply open their formations early and have the disciples welcome them without being asked.

However, for the Sun Moon Divine Sect, not only did they have to descend and pass through the formation entrance, but they were also received only by disciples who were at the Qi refinement or Foundation Establishment stage.

Despite this, all the cultivators who came for the congratulations, regardless of their cultivation levels, dared not express any dissatisfaction because to do so was tantamount to seeking death.
