The Chongzhen Temple Master made his oath in return.
Buxu Zi was his Master and had already communicated with him earlier. Although he didn’t ntion the Butian Sect, probably to keep Xu Xing’s secret, he did tell him that Xu Xing would support Chongzhen Temple’s Daoism in the future.
The saying goes, "The sky is high, and the Emperor is far away."
The Flying Feather Immortal Palace bordered the Wangchuan Sea. They supported the Orthodox lineage of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace, and the Butian Sect had not used the na of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace as its Sect na. No one could find any major fault with this arrangent. Thus, there was no need to fear the wrath of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace or an attack on Chongzhen Temple.
Since there were no major repercussions to fear, the mbers of Chongzhen Temple didn’t mind rallying to Xu Xing’s cause.
"I, Xu, will rember the kindness of your Sect and will definitely repay it in the future."
Seeing this, Xu Xing glanced at the sincere-looking Cultivators of Chongzhen Temple and made another Dao Oath, saying so.
After making the Dao Oath, Xu Xing didn’t skirt the issue. Instead, he seized the opportunity to strike while the iron was hot. He began discussing with the Chongzhen Temple Master how Chongzhen Temple could assist the Butian Sect with various Resources during its founding...
"The Butian Sect aims to support the Orthodox lineage of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace; it’s an organization. Chongzhen Temple can also send people to join..."
"There can be Schools within the Sect..."
"Just as there are kingdoms within an empire, the Butian Sect will not interfere in Chongzhen Temple’s internal affairs."
When specific benefits were discussed, Xu Xing noticed so hesitation on the faces of the Chongzhen Temple Cultivators. He imdiately explained with a smile.
A Sect built on a master-disciple inheritance would take at least a thousand years to establish, and I don’t have that much ti.
Creating the Butian Sect is a way to leverage existing Power to gather Resources for himself, not to genuinely build a major Power from scratch.
Therefore, when establishing the Butian Sect, it absolutely cannot be hidebound and only absorb rebel cultivators from the Flying Feather Immortal Palace.
"Similar to the Mingquan Sect?"
"The Mingquan Sect is ruled by seven Demon Lords. Each Demon Lord has their own territory, making it quite different from other Sects..."
A Dao Pill Daoist asked doubtfully.
"The Mingquan Sect?"
"That is indeed a suitable example."
Xu Xing nodded and continued, "The seven Demon Lords of the Mingquan Sect are all Nascent Soul Grand Cultivators... If they were to split, a Sect created by a single Nascent Soul Grand Cultivator would only be a Small faction, nothing to fear. But when they unite, they form the Mingquan Sect, one of the Higher Teachings!"
"I, Xu, created the Butian Sect under the secret decree of Sect Master Ren to revive the Flying Feather Immortal Palace... I do not intend to control this Sect, as I am, after all, a disciple of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace..."
This sentence explained his intention in founding the Sect.
As soon as his words fell, the minds of the various True Monarchs of Chongzhen Temple suddenly beca active.
If Xu Xing truly doesn’t intend to control the Butian Sect’s authority, then once it’s established, Chongzhen Temple, as its earliest supporter, might even have a chance at the Sect Leader position and control this major Sect. An Orthodox inheritance from the Higher Teachings. A Nascent Soul Genius less than three hundred years old. With these two credentials advertised, who knew how many Freelance Cultivators and Small and dium-sized Sects would rush to join the Butian Sect?
"The Butian Sect will absorb Small and dium-sized Sects and Freelance Cultivators, uniting them into a single cohesive force..."
"The Butian Sect will beco the Eleventh Great Sect, standing apart from the Ten Major Sects!"
Xu Xing declared resolutely.
After saying this, Xu Xing observed the expressions of the Chongzhen Temple Cultivators. So remained calm and unmoved, while others showed clear signs of interest.
He secretly nodded, taking note of these Cultivators whose eyes glead with consideration.
These individuals can all be won over. Although there are only a few of them here, Chongzhen Temple isn’t the only Sect under the heavens.
"I, Xu, have been engaged in Cultivation for many years, but I still possess a youthful temperant," Xu Xing said, his eyes flickering slightly. Once the Cultivators’ discussions quieted a little, he continued, addressing the Chongzhen Temple Master with an apology, "I was montarily impetuous and perhaps misspoke. I hope the Sect Master will not take offense..."
In another Sect, trying to poach High-level mbers to join one’s own Sect... if he weren’t a Nascent Soul Daoist Lord, he’d probably be a corpse by now.
"A small matter, truly a small matter." The Chongzhen Temple Master stroked his beard, not taking it to heart.
What Xu Xing had just said also presented a matter of great potential benefit to Chongzhen Temple. He, too, was sowhat tempted and considered joining the Butian Sect early to secure a position. Although the Butian Sect had yet to be founded, he was confident that once it was established, its rise to prominence would be unstoppable. Even if it couldn’t rank among the Higher Teachings, replacing the Godslayer Sect to beco The First Great Sect beneath the Ten Major Sects was not an unimaginable outco.
"I wonder where Fellow Daoist Buxu is? We’ve been discussing things for so long, yet I haven’t seen him erge?"
Xu Xing changed the subject, glancing around before asking with surprise.
He didn’t believe Buxu Zi’s absence was an intentional test. Both of them were Dao Lords, and his own apparent strength was a notch above Buxu Zi’s. Unless Buxu Zi had grown senile, he wouldn’t do sothing so foolish. Last ti, Buxu Zi had given him the Chongzhen Temple’s inheritance, which was as good as showing his hand. There was no need for tests at This Mont.
"Uncle Xu, my Master..."
The Chongzhen Temple Master hesitated upon hearing this, pausing for a short while before saying, "This ti, Uncle Xu, your seclusion nearly caused Our Sect’s Blessed Land to be destroyed. Our Sect had no choice but to invest Spiritual Objects to barely maintain the Source of the blessed land..."
"Furthermore, the Demon way learned of this. Five days ago, a Dao Lord from the Soul Gathering Gate invaded, attacking the Purple Bamboo Mountain Market within Our Sect’s territory..."
"My Master led the Cultivators from within the Sect to pursue these Demon repair."
"However, Uncle Xu, you need not worry. Just a short while ago—in fact, the day before you erged from your seclusion—my Master had already achieved victory and is on his way back, having won a great battle."
