Chapter 1811 Became a Working Person
Sect Leader Ye paused, looked at Ye Chuhan, and his tone became extremely serious.
"Chu Han, you must remember this. On the path of cultivation, the Dao heart is fundamental. Blindly pursuing power, especially by relying on external or evil forces, is ultimately a castle in the air, harming both yourself and others. Yue Yao is a cautionary tale."
Ye Chuhan hissed: "Don't worry, Dad, you don't need to remind me of these old clichés. I know what I'm doing. We'd never stoop to doing such trivial things."
Sect Leader Ye couldn't help but roll his eyes at him.
"When are you going to behave yourself, you brat? When you first met Mingchuan, you were definitely stronger than him. Look at how much he's improved now, and where are you?"
"He's already the head of a sect!"
Ye Chuhan coughed and deliberately lowered his voice to mutter, "Mingchuan is exceptionally talented, what can I do? His cultivation level is higher than all of you sect leaders now... He even has five Nascent Soul stage experts protecting him..."
"You brat! You dare to lecture your old man like that?" Sect Master Ye was so angry that he glared at Ye Chuhan and raised his hand to hit him on the back.
Ye Chuhan quickly ran to the side to avoid it.
Seeing this, Sect Leader Ye shook his head helplessly.
Well, Ye Chuhan is right.
Mingchuan is a prodigy.
Not to mention Ye Chuhan, none of these old fogies who have been in the Spirit Realm for so long can compare to her.
The fact that he has five Nascent Soul cultivators protecting him is entirely due to the power he has accumulated little by little on his own.
He shook his head and sighed with emotion: "Back then, he was just a kid who needed my help in every way. Now, he's become the person in charge of the Spirit Realm, while we old bones can only work for him, Mingchuan."
Ye Chuhan was amused.
“Dad, even if we’re just working, it’s better than when we were all on our own. Look at how much we’ve benefited from following Mingchuan now.”
"We never dared to imagine going to war with the Holy Land before. Now, we can stand tall with our backs!"
Sect Leader Ye glanced at him and shook his head helplessly.
"Alright, enough with your mouth. Stop arguing and hurry up and improve your cultivation."
"Hehe, alright, your son obeys!" Ye Chuhan gave Sect Leader Ye a playful smile, then turned and quickly left.
Watching his retreating figure, Sect Leader Ye couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Whatever.
That's right.
What's wrong with being a wage earner? If they can expand their influence with Mingchuan in the future, and if they can really fight against the Holy Domain, they can also get a share of the Holy Domain's resources!
Life is so much better than before!
Thinking of this, Sect Master Ye smiled and got up, slowly walking towards his sect master's hall.
With the Wangxiantai Grand Competition concluded, heroes from all sides departed one after another, carrying their gains and aspirations.
The Hall of Talents, jointly established by the five major sects of the Spirit Realm, also began its first batch of core member training programs in full swing. For a time, the entire Spirit Realm presented an atmosphere of renewed vigor and prosperity after the catastrophe.
Wanchuan Sect, Suspended Hall.
Mingchuan finally returned to his sect.
On the Observation Mirror platform, the scene of the spiritual realm flowing through the sky remained the same, but in his eyes, there was an added sense of heavy responsibility and vigilance.
"Mingchuan, this is the intelligence gathered from the various branches in recent days, as well as the preliminary assessment report of the first batch of members of the Hall of Talents."
Jin Man placed several jade slips on the table. Her charming face showed less of her usual ease and more of the competence and solemnity she displayed when handling official business. "In addition, the Green-Faced Fox sent word that the initial refining of the detector has encountered some difficulties. It requires several kinds of Concentrating Snow Soul Crystals produced in the far north ice plains. I have instructed the Foreign Affairs Hall to keep an eye out for them, but these items are rare and it will probably take some time."
Mingchuan took the jade slip, quickly scanned it with his divine sense, and nodded: "Just do your best. There's no rush regarding the detector. The other side just lost a clone, so they should be more cautious for a while. However, the number of anomaly reports from the various branches... is more than expected."
The jade slip records some strange events that have recently occurred in various parts of the Spirit Realm.
In a small market town, several low-level rogue cultivators inexplicably fell into a deep sleep. When they woke up, their memories were hazy, but their cultivation level had strangely improved by a trace.
Another remote mountain village reported seeing blurry lights wandering at night, and livestock losing weight for no apparent reason.
There was even a town near the desolate western desert where reports indicated that the underground water veins would occasionally shimmer with a dark red hue that could only be detected upon close inspection…
These events, taken individually, seem insignificant, like natural phenomena or the work of low-level demons. However, the fact that they occurred around the time of the competition and were spread over a wide area inevitably makes one think of Yueyao's all-pervasive tentacles.
“I have already sent more people to these areas under the guise of patrolling trade routes and assisting in border defense, to conduct covert investigations,” Jin Man said. “But manpower is limited, and the other side’s methods are extremely covert, so it is difficult to guarantee that no one will escape.”
"You've worked hard." Mingchuan rubbed his temples, knowing that this was the biggest problem at present.
The Spirit Realm is vast, and the Wan Chuan Sect has only been around for a short time. Its foundation and intelligence network are far less profound than those of the four major sects, and it cannot compare with the Holy Realm, which has been operating for countless years.
This kind of all-out covert war is a contest of resources and patience.
"In addition," Jin Man hesitated for a moment, "Ji Zhou sent back news from Qingyuan Sect that Su Hao and Luo Yang recently contacted several groups of merchants who claimed to be from the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce. The merchants offered unusually generous resource exchange conditions, but demanded that they exchange several types of earth vein ores unique to Qingyuan Sect and some disciple potential assessment data in exchange. Ji Zhou found this suspicious and has secretly withheld some samples, which are currently being analyzed."
"He suspected... that the Holy Domain might be behind this, trying to find a way in through the weak point of the Qingyuan Sect."
Mingchuan's eyes narrowed: "The Western Regions Chamber of Commerce? Have you investigated their background?"
"We're investigating, but the other party has a very deep background, and there's no direct connection to the Holy Domain on the surface. Jizhou's idea is to play along and see what they're really up to; maybe we can catch a big fish."
“Yes, but you must ensure the safety of Su Hao, Luo Yang, and the core members of the Qingyuan Sect. If necessary, we can abandon the plan.” Ming Chuan pondered. “The Qingyuan Sect has just experienced a major upheaval, and people’s hearts are not yet settled. We cannot let them take any more risks. Tell Ji Zhou that stability is the priority.”
"clear."
After Jin Man finished her report, she turned to leave, but then stopped and looked back at Ming Chuan with a hint of concern in her eyes: "Ming Chuan... also, although your injuries have healed, you've been working hard these past few days, so you need to rest. Some things can't be rushed."
Mingchuan smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Go ahead and get busy."
After Jinman left, Mingchuan stood alone in front of the Observatory, gazing at the magnificent mountains and rivers of the Spirit Realm in the sky, remaining silent for a long time.
He knew Kingman was right; some things couldn't be rushed.
Playing against the Holy Domain, especially against an opponent of Yue Yao's caliber, is like playing chess; one wrong move could lead to total defeat.
He needs patience, he needs to wait, and he needs to build up his strength.
But the sense of urgency in my heart followed me like a shadow.
Yueyao was secretly weaving a vast net, and the power of the Demon Abyss was like a leech clinging to a bone, with turbulent undercurrents surging beneath the seemingly calm surface of the Spirit Realm.
He was afraid that he was too slow, afraid that he would miss some crucial clues, afraid that he would not be able to protect everything in front of him.
