Once the grand hall of the Zixia Valley sect, now there are thirty-nine people sitting here.
Ding Huanyu sits in the position of the sect master, while Liu Yinyu and Sang Yuhe sit on either side.
Below them were Qin Qingshan, Yan Mei, Guan Paoma, Mo HuaPsing, Shen Jiankai, Chen Ding and a crowd of disciples.
Old Six also claimed a seat, sitting beside Ding Huanyu.
Regarding Ding Huanyu's succession as the sect master, Qin Qingshan and others were tacitly acknowledged. The previous sect master believed that Ding Huanyu was the heir apparent.
Ding Huanyu's gaze fell upon the crowd, and he spoke slowly:
"Gentlemen, you were all disciples or elders, or stewards of the Zixia Valley. The Zixia Valley was destroyed under the leadership of a bunch of empty vessels."
"It can be said that if not for me and Liu Elder's timely arrival, it would be difficult for more than one-tenth of the people sitting here to survive."
Ding Huanyu's words were ungracious, but no one found them piercing.
Because including the sect master in the elders were indeed drunkards and overeaters, they were actually beaten to the sect headquarters, and even the disciples and elders of the sect were wiped out.
The sect that had attacked the sect headquarters was the Jiu Yin Sect, a sect that the Zixia Valley had never taken seriously. Such ineptitude is not waste what else?
"Therefore, the Zixia Valley was destroyed two years ago. Today, I am sitting here and inviting you all to sit here as well, because we will be establishing a new sect here..."
Ding Huanyu's words left Qin Qingshan and the disciples in awe, establishing a new sect on the territory of Zixia Valley?
They are disciples of Zixia Valley.
Qin Qingshan saw that Liu Yinyu showed no sign of surprise, and knew that Liu Elder had long known about this.
He sighed and over the years at Zixia Valley, suddenly changed a sect, and really do not get used to it.
Although Ding Huanyu is strong, isn't it still not enough to establish a new sect?
The disciples chatted and argued incessantly.
There were still some chores students among the disciples here, who didn't care about what the sect became.
"Quiet everyone."
After everyone had processed it to a certain extent, Ding Huanyu opened his mouth again:
"Gentlemen, if anyone is unwilling to join the new sect, I am not forcing you. However, the meeting that follows is only for sect disciples to attend, so those who do not wish to join the new sect may leave now."
Since we are currently in a mountain-sealing state, we cannot allow you to leave the sect immediately. However, I guarantee that you can leave the sect safely and unharmed after one year."
After saying that, Ding Huanyu waited for everyone's response. Those who did not want to join his new sect naturally had to leave.
Seeing two disciples hesitate, Ding Huanyu directly said:
"Relax if you want to leave, as long as the sect's mountain defense array is activated, you can leave. With Elder Liu here, you need not worry that I would deceive you."
"Thank you, Senior. Since the Zixia Valley no longer exists, I Hui Xinxin do not want to join any other sect. After the sect's mountain-sealing array is activated, I will leave here."
The first one to speak was a young woman, cultivating at the seventh layer of training.
After Hui Xinxin, two male disciples stepped forward as well. One was named Si Baiye, with a cultivation level of the seventh layer of practice, and the other was named Chong Qusheng, with a cultivation level of the sixth layer.
Ding Huanyu said:
"Yes, you can temporarily retreat and reside on the Peak of Exterior Sect Disciples. Remember, do not casually leave the Peak of Exterior Sect Disciples until the sect is opened, or you will be trapped in the array."
"Yes." The three disciples bowed in response and immediately exited the grand hall of the sect.
Although the reasons given by the three disciples were lofty, everyone in the grand hall knew what was really going on.
It was Ding Huanyu's cultivation too weak, dare to occupy Zixia Valley is looking for death.
When the Zixia Valley's mountain seal is lifted, it will be the time for Ding Huanyu to meet his demise.
So they might as well make a decision earlier, and leave immediately as soon as the mountain seal is lifted.
Only after the three disciples had left the grand hall, Ding Huanyu continued:
"I know that there may still be some here who want to leave, but are worried that I might silence you. Let me tell you, go with confidence and boldness; I will not do anything to harm you."
No one moved.
Indeed, there were people who wanted to leave. They didn't trust Ding Huanyu's assurance at all, so they dared not move.
Qin Qingshan simply stood up:
"Master, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have made it to today. My life belongs to the sect master."
I care not even if we were to go back and fight against the Jiu Yin Sect."
With Qin Qingshan stepping forward, the other disciples, as well as the chores students, all stood up to express their willingness to join the new sect.
"Very well, then I will say two things. The first is the name of the sect, and the second is the sect's cultivation method."
"Master, we have all been practicing the Qing Hong Jue, aren't we supposed to continue practicing it?" Qin Qingshan asked in confusion.
To be honest, he has already reached the foundation building stage, and it's too late to change his cultivation method now.
Moreover, there are two true immortal elders here. How can we change cultivation methods?
Step back, the Qing Hong Jue is a cultivation method that has been practiced by Zixia Valley for hundreds of years. It has been constantly improved over the years, is the crystallization of the hearts and blood of countless forebears of the sect, just to be discarded?
Ding Huanyu said calmly:
"The cultivation method must be changed, otherwise I might as well not establish this sect. I do not ask for everyone to be able to defeat enemies of a higher level, at least they should be invincible to their peers..."
Including Qin Qingshan, all the disciples were stunned.
Beating all peers? Not just Zixia Valley, but across the entire Taoist cultivation world, even disciples from the most powerful sect in the Ascension Realm, the Xianjun Sect, wouldn't dare claim to be invincible at their own level.
Only Sang Yuhe and others like Liu Yinyu did not doubt it, because Ding Huanyu was not only invincible at the same level but had also killed a Huan Yuan cultivation Elder a few days ago.
Why did the ancient sect master dare not move against Huan Yuan Elder? To be honest, the position of the Huan Yuan Elder was only a small part of the reason. More importantly, the ancient sect master's strength was simply not enough to move him.
"The sect I will establish will be called Lanxing Sect, and the sect's cultivation method will be called Microcosm Art..."
No one knows what the name "Lanxing Sect" means, but the name "Microcosm Art" sounds rather exaggerated.
Fortunately, it's only called Microcosm Art. If it was called Macrocosm Art, that would be even more exaggerated.
"Master, do I also need to modify my cultivation method?" Yan Mei asked with some reluctance.
He feels great when practicing the Da Huaxing Juede, and he has already reached the perfect level of Practice Qi cultivation. Moreover, he has only modified his cultivation method once before, so why change it again?
Ding Huanyu affirmed definitely:
"Your cultivation method is not good enough; it must be modified, otherwise you will be the weakest in the sect."
Ding Huanyu had not said another thing. The strongest person who practiced the Da Huaxing Juede had now joined his sect. You still consider it a treasure and lack ambition?
If anyone else had said this, Yan Mei would have sneered.
Ding Huanyu saying this, however, he actually believed it.
He can say that among the three-dimensional heaven and earth continent, except for his parents, he most trusts Ding Huanyu.
The things Ding Huanyu said usually do not fail. A few days ago, he heard that Huan had killed the Huan Yuan Elder.
The fact that he had killed the Huan Yuan Elder greatly encouraged him. Without killing the Huan Yuan Elder, talking about establishing a sect would be a joke.
"Wan Geo, what about me?" the sixth one timidly asked from the side.
It has thrown caution to the winds because it has never reached the foundation building stage.
"You don't have to worry, when this matter is settled, you will also practice Microcosm Art. However, your cultivation method will be different. We'll talk about it later."
Ding Huanyu comforted the sixth one, who had been somewhat down lately, far from the vigor and vitality he showed in Xifeng City.
Being cooped up here, unable to advance in cultivation or show off his prowess, for it, there's not much difference between living and dying.
Ding Huanyu took out a jade slip.
"This is the cultivation method for Microcosm Art to the Yun Xing Rounding state. Everyone gets one, and then I will teach everyone how to practice Microcosm Art."
"Master, what is Yun Xing?" Qin Qingshan was puzzled.
Ding Huanyu explained:
"Our Blue Star Sect has its own cultivation method system since its establishment. Microcosm Art starts with condensing star dust. After the star dust reaches perfection, instead of foundation building, it is the condensation of star clouds."
After the star clouds are perfected, it's not yet the True Dan realm; it's the Yun Xing realm, with the star clouds forming a star mountain, all just in preparation for the birth of stars. So, in my Microcosm Art, the strongest stage at the same level is the Star realm..."
Everyone remained silent.
They could accept joining a new sect, but the original cultivation system engraved in their consciousness was deeply ingrained in their bones. This change was beyond their immediate acceptance.
This time, Ding Huanyu did not say that those who refuse can leave. After everyone calmed down a bit, he said:
"Gentlemen, what is the purpose of your cultivation? Is it to live forever? To be strong? To be free? Or to seek the secrets of the vast universe?"
So no matter what your cultivation purpose is, there is one thing I can be certain of. You are not cultivating for others, nor are you cultivating for others to see.
If you cannot see through this, then you are not fit to stay in the Blue Star Sect.
"I practice the Microcosm Art, and when I was still at the Yun Xing Rounding state, I easily killed a true Dan realm cultivator. This San Yuhe elder can vouch for it."
Sang Yuhe was taken aback. Only after hearing Ding Huanyu's words did she realize that when he killed Qi Yushan, he was not yet a True Dan cultivator.
According to Ding Huanyu, the star clouds are equivalent to foundation building. In other words, Ding Huanyu could kill a true Dan realm cultivator when he was still in the foundation building stage.
"Master, I am willing to modify my cultivation method, but since I have already reached foundation building, how can I modify Microcosm Art?"
Qin Qingshan is a cultivator at the late foundation building stage; he's not without knowledge.
From the few words disclosed by Liu Changlao, he faintly knew that Ding Huanyu wanted to establish a sect in Zixia Valley, and the first step was to eliminate the Yuan soul strong cultivator Hecheng Lao from within Zixia Valley.
Since Ding Huanyu can now establish a sect here, it implies that he has eliminated Hecheng Lao.
Ding Huanyu smiled:
"You don't have to worry about it. The first step of my Microcosm Art is to disperse cultivation. There will be no such step for new disciples who will be recruited later."
"Master, we are chores students." A servant stood up and uneasily said.
Ding Huanyu looked at the servant who had stood up:
"While you are staying here, you have already become an inner sect disciple of our sect. We do not have chores students here. At least, we don't have any now."
"Thank you, Master." The twelve chores students bowed deeply with excitement.
In the last big battle, the survival rate of the chores students was actually the highest.
Ding Huanyu stretched out his hand, and more than thirty jade slips fell into the hands of each person.
"Everyone start to disperse their cultivation now. As soon as your cultivation is dispersed, immediately begin practicing Microcosm Art. This way, everyone's cultivation base can recover to its current level in the shortest amount of time."
