Chapter 405: Chapter 254: Cultivation World 44
Sect Leader Changming talked with Si Lingle for over an hour, then had someone invite Xiangyu True Monarch, as well as two other Golden Core stage elders: Master Huai’an and Master Yumo.
Xiangyu True Monarch arrived first.
Xiangyu True Monarch exuded a coolness reminiscent of a cold pond mist, with an aloofness in her expression that wasn’t harsh.
Years of fasting and weathering the elements gave her skin a cold white shade, with slight sun marks on her cheekbones and a shallow scar on her jaw from early battles with demon beasts, which she didn’t conceal with a spell.
Her outer robe was made of low-level spiritual grass, in a grayish-blue hue, with a faded dark blue cloth tied askew at the collar, and a gray storage bag hung from her waist.
Beneath, she wore a plain white undergarment with a collar embroidered with a few crooked dust avoidance talismans, drawn when she was first learning talismans, now faded to a light blue over the years.
Her hair was secured with half a peach wood branch, and around her neck hung a jade pendant, cracked and mottled, its quality murky, vaguely containing a remnant soul— the only relic from her sect’s destruction.
Due to years of spiritual power depletion, the ends of her hair were withered and gray-white, contrasting with the black near the roots. As she walked, a faint earthen escape technique aura hovered three inches beneath her feet, a manifestation of deliberate suppression to conserve spiritual power.
After a while, Master Huai’an and Master Yumo also arrived.
Their advancement to the Golden Core stage was thanks to Xiangyu True Monarch’s efforts in acquiring resources from her training, along with the sect’s support.
Xiangyu True Monarch possessed dual Fire and Earth spiritual roots, Master Huai’an had Gold, Earth, and Wood three spiritual roots, and Master Yumo had Gold, Fire, and Earth three spiritual roots.
After the three arrived, Sect Leader Changming briefly explained the matter.
The three immediately nodded in agreement!
With a Taoist Monarch at the Divinity Transformation stage as sect leader, the strength of their sect greatly increased.
Not to mention the Taoist Monarch would also bestow cultivation techniques and such, only a fool would disagree.
The next day, disciples of the Azure Dragon Alliance gathered outside the sect’s grand hall.
After a while, Master Changming and others, accompanying Si Lingle, appeared together.
"This is Yunhua Daojun, at Divinity Transformation Great Perfection stage, and will be the new sect leader henceforth," Master Changming announced.
"This is Yun Jiu, the sect leader’s contract spiritual pet, at the Void Refining stage, and will serve as a guardian elder for the sect."
Su Miao was shocked, a Divinity Transformation Taoist Monarch! A Void Refining stage spiritual pet!
She hadn’t expected that the senior who saved her and Jiu Jiu possessed such high cultivation.
The sect disciples were dumbfounded; their Azure Dragon Alliance unexpectedly got a sect leader at the Divinity Transformation stage, it was simply incredible.
With cultivation at the Divinity Transformation stage, one could become a peak lord in the Taixu Sect. In a major sect, being a peak lord was better than being a leader in a small sect.
Most disciples of the Azure Dragon Alliance had mixed spiritual roots, dual spiritual roots, and there were only thirteen disciples with three spiritual roots.
These thirteen included Xiangyu True Monarch and others.
Si Lingle, wearing a robe, contacted her disciple Yun Ya, telling him to seek her after his training.
Since Yun Ya excelled in Alchemy, at that time he could perform alchemy, providing rewards for the sect disciples.
The first thing Si Lingle did was rename the sect, a matter she discussed with Master Changming and others, and they didn’t mind.
Si Lingle renamed it to Hundred Battle Sect, as she had inherited the legacy of the Heavy Weapon Immortal Monarch of the Hundred Battle Sect in the Heavenly Palace, hence the name.
Si Lingle personally carved the sect’s gateway plaque, and afterward, she re-established the sect formation.
Once the setup was complete, she focused on other improvements.
For instance, the sect robes, Si Lingle let her smart device design several Daoist robes, categorizing them for miscellaneous duties, general use, inner sect, elders, and stewards.
After the designs were done, Si Lingle had Master Changming find a shop to order them.
Then it was the repair of various parts of the sect.
Previously, the sect was poor, and many broken areas were only simply repaired.
This time, Si Lingle had many places demolished and rebuilt.
The construction work was handed over to the puppets, and after a month, the reconstruction of the Hundred Battle Sect was completed.
And the disciples of the Hundred Battle Sect donned new robes.
Now, the sect’s Library Pavilion housed many cultivation method jade scrolls, along with books related to the Four Arts.
All these items were gained through years of training, Si Lingle’s smart device scanned these books and organized them into electronic files for storage.
Of course, some jade scrolls disappeared after being read. Si Lingle first read them, then recorded them into jade scrolls and books; the books were scanned and archived by her smart device.
The jade scrolls were left for those with fate.
Previously, these items weren’t very useful, but now they served a purpose.
