Chapter 301: Developing the Clear Sky Sect and Controlling the Kingdom of Barak

After Tang San returned to the Clear Sky Sect, he began distributing medicinal pills to the sect disciples without regard for the cost, in order to assist their Cultivation.

Upon receiving the pills, these disciples treated them like precious treasures; without delving too deeply into the matter, they all threw themselves into a frenzy of Cultivation.

They worked hard day and night, longing to reach a higher level on this path of Cultivation.

At the same time, Tang San also announced a shocking piece of news: all sect disciples would have the opportunity to participate in a God Trial.

A God Trial is a test for cultivators who pursue the supreme realm.

Hearing this news, the Elders were all extremely excited; their hearts were filled with anticipation, looking forward to the emergence of another true successor to a deity.

Did Tang Chen not go out in the past precisely to seek a deity's inheritance?

Regarding the records of God Trials, the sect possesses many documents and historical materials.

These materials describe the various aspects of God Trials in detail, and many who have read the records yearn for them immensely.

Now that they do not need to go out and the God Trial has been delivered to their doorstep, all the disciples feel incredibly excited and thrilled.

Carrying awe for deities and anticipation for the inheritance, they have all thrown themselves into preparations for the God Trial.

Throughout this process, Tang San has given them his full support and encouragement.

He not only personally guides their Cultivation but also imparts his own understanding and experience regarding God Trials to them.

He tells them that a God Trial is not just a test, but also an opportunity for self-improvement and a baptism of the soul.

The Elders hope for the birth of another successor to a deity, but it is merely a hope.

Tang San has already inherited the Sea God's legacy, and others participating in God Trials will not reach the level of the Sea God Nine Trials.

Everyone has initiated a God Trial; most are Three Trials, there are over a dozen people with Six Trials, and there are no others.

It seems that talent is truly important.

Over these years, Tang San has witnessed many people initiate God Trials, and there are truly few who have exceeded Six Trials.

Even the Clear Sky Sect, famous across the continent, has not produced a single Spirit Master who has surpassed Six Trials.

With the God Trials and precious medicinal pills all prepared, one naturally cannot forget the numerous Cultivation manuals of the Spirit Hall.

The Spirit Hall's manuals are of many kinds, and Spirit Masters who understand them hold the Spirit Hall's manuals in high regard.

Although the Clear Sky Sect keeps scouts outside, these scouts dare not register with the Spirit Hall.

Registration requires a physical examination, and once tested, if the martial soul is a Clear Sky Hammer, would that not be an immediate exposure?

They know deeply that once their identities are exposed, they will face countless dangers and troubles.

They must remain anonymous to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Not having a registered identity means having no Identity Card, and thus being unable to obtain points.

In the Spirit Hall, points are the only currency for purchasing manuals and various resources.

Without points, one naturally cannot purchase the Spirit Hall's manuals.

The Spirit Hall has made many manuals public, most of which only charge a symbolic fee of one point, but without an Identity Card, one cannot even obtain a single point.

The content of these manuals is rich and diverse, including various Cultivation methods, martial soul techniques, and combat strategies; each manual contains profound principles and wisdom.

However, those without an Identity Card cannot obtain these precious manuals.

This has also resulted in the Clear Sky Sect failing to learn the Spirit Hall's manuals for so many years.

Moreover, the people of the Clear Sky Sect are not willing to practice the Spirit Hall's manuals.

Their own inherited manuals are already enough for them to practice for a lifetime; they believe these manuals are their foundation and pride, and they are unwilling to abandon their own traditions to practice someone else's manuals.

Furthermore, they also worry that practicing the Spirit Hall's manuals will weaken their loyalty to the Clear Sky Sect.

Therefore, they are more willing to devote their energy and time to their own inherited manuals, constantly improving their own cultivation and realm.

However, this time Tang San brought out many of the Spirit Hall's techniques and explained the diversity and practicality of these techniques to them in detail.

He specifically emphasized the importance of the Jerry Meditation Method; the effect of this Visualization method far exceeds his Purple Demon Eye.

These techniques were all painstakingly transcribed by Tang San, because the people of the Clear Sky Sect do not have Mobile Phones, so Tang San had to transcribe them on their behalf.

Although Tang San left his post and lost some permissions on his Mobile Phone as a result, there was no impact on the techniques.

In the past, Tang San once thought that the Spirit Hall was foolish for publishing so many techniques and Self-created Soul Skills.

However, only after he personally arrived in Wuhun City did he realize that his previous thinking was completely wrong.

Cultivation is not a simple learning of skills; it also requires taking talent into account.

If your talent is not good, even with the most advanced techniques and soul skills, you will be unable to truly master them.

And even for those with exceptional talent, some do not know how to make trade-offs; seeing everything and wanting to practice it all results in none of their practices reaching a high level, unable to achieve true refinement.

From this result, the Spirit Hall has not suffered any great loss; on the contrary, it has gained a good reputation for publishing the techniques.

A technique is a good technique; Tang San does not mind the source of the technique, as long as it can improve himself.

Tang San explained to the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect that techniques do not distinguish between factions; as long as it is a good technique, everyone should practice it.

It should not be that one starts to reject and stop practicing a technique just because it originated from the Spirit Hall.

If one day in the future, while fighting people from the Spirit Hall, one's strength was originally far superior to the opponent's, but one ended up losing to them because of soul skills and techniques.

Tang San is unwilling to see such a scene, so he actively encourages everyone to practice some of the Spirit Hall's techniques.

Using the enemy's things to defeat the enemy—what could be more satisfying than that!

Using this reason, Tang San persuaded many people in the Clear Sky Sect to practice the Spirit Hall's manuals.

At first, some people kept watching from the sidelines, but eventually, they found they could no longer beat fellow disciples of the same level who practiced the Spirit Hall's manuals; feeling unconvinced, they also began to practice the Spirit Hall's manuals.

Because of Tang San's emphasis, basically every disciple of the Spirit Hall has practiced the Jerry Meditation Method.

Moreover, this Visualization method is indeed powerful; it can improve Spirit Power and also comes with many techniques for using Spirit Power and Spirit Power soul skills.

Some disciples practiced relatively quickly, and their improvement in Spirit Power was obvious, which directly allowed them to stand out among the many disciples.

In the blink of an eye, a year passed like the wind, and the strength of everyone in the Clear Sky Sect was improving silently and rapidly, like a snake in hibernation.

This improvement in strength was like a prairie fire, igniting the ambition in their hearts and making their horizons broader and more distant.

The disciples and Elders of the Clear Sky Sect were no longer content with hiding in deep mountains and old forests, living a life of seclusion for Cultivation.

Their goals had changed, and their ambitions were now like a vast, surging sea, impossible to contain.

After careful deliberation and countless discussions, they decided on their future direction: to step back onto the world's stage.

However, for this emergence, the Two Great Empires were certainly not to be considered.

After all, behind the Two Great Empires stood the Spirit Hall, and they did not believe their current strength was enough to contend with the Spirit Hall.

They set their sights on one of the four kingdoms within the borders of the Heaven Dou Empire.

The Bala Kingdom borders Fasno Province; though called a kingdom, its area is actually only three-quarters the size of Fasno Province, and it is subordinate to the Heaven Dou Empire.

The south of the Bala Kingdom directly borders the Star Luo Empire; although the Bala Kingdom's military strength is quite strong, when facing the rapidly surging power of the Clear Sky Sect, its upper-echelon strength appeared insignificant.

Although the south directly borders the Star Luo Empire, which might invite joint resistance from the Two Great Empires, the Bala Kingdom's geographical location possesses a unique advantage: it can advance to attack and retreat to defend.

Moreover, with Tang San, a god-level powerhouse, sitting in the rear, what was there to fear?

The Elders conferred and quickly formulated a meticulous plan.

Without Tang San's knowledge, the Clear Sky Sect took action.

This time, the Clear Sky Sect had a great tree to lean on and was quite aggressive, directly adopting a decapitation strike.

This operation was like a torrent, galloping through the long river of history, unstoppable by anyone.

Within half a month, the royal family of the Bala Kingdom was completely eradicated by the Clear Sky Sect, and the Clear Sky Sect majestically announced they were taking over the Bala Kingdom.

Some loyal ministers cursed at the people of the Clear Sky Sect.

This behavior was no different from lighting a fuse, immediately infuriating the people of the Clear Sky Sect.

Consequently, a cruel and merciless massacre began.

Originally, the people of the Clear Sky Sect had wanted to keep these ministers to better control the Bala Kingdom.

However, faced with their public insults, the people of the Clear Sky Sect did not have such good tempers as to endure being cursed at.

They quickly took action, killing batch after batch of ministers; those who dared to openly oppose them were basically rooted out.

This violent and iron-fisted approach made many people shudder, and among those whose convictions were not firm, surrender began to appear.

As soon as the first coward who feared death surrendered, the psychological defenses of the others were greatly lowered, and they followed suit in surrendering.

Thus, the Clear Sky Sect gained control of the Bala Kingdom with absolute power.

However, this bloody coup also brought serious consequences.

Because too many ministers were killed, the handling of many affairs was severely delayed.

Do not think that because the Elders of the Clear Sky Sect handle sect affairs with ease, national affairs can be compared to the affairs of a sect.

For a time, affairs were extremely busy, and many Clear Sky Sect disciples were dispatched to relevant departments to handle matters, which made those disciples who usually only focused on Cultivation complain incessantly.

It is easy to conquer the world, but not easy to keep it. They had to face the cumbersome affairs of the kingdom.

At the same time, the Clear Sky Sect also realized that they must quickly fill the power vacuum to ensure the stability of the kingdom.

They understood the situation of the sect disciples; as time went on, these disciples sent to manage affairs would sooner or later run into problems.

Because many disciples' method of handling things was armed suppression, which made the common people in many parts of the kingdom complain bitterly.

Aside from armed suppression, they knew nothing else; when encountering problems, they had no solutions and would drag things out indefinitely.

Others did not dare to urge these Clear Sky Sect disciples, for if they pushed these disciples too hard, the consequences would be more than they could bear.

When Tang San learned of the Clear Sky Sect's actions, he felt the anger in his heart burning like Fire Attribute.

He had not personally given the order, yet the Clear Sky Sect had acted without authorization; although the operation succeeded, this behavior of ignoring his authority still made him feel very uncomfortable.

He looked at the Elders' expressions as they lowered their heads to admit their mistakes, but the anger in his heart was not dispelled by this.

However, he ultimately did not choose to punish them; after all, they were his blood relatives, and he could not bring himself to take action against them.

While accepting the facts, Tang San also felt deeply helpless.

After he arrived at the Bala Kingdom and checked the kingdom's affairs, he could not contain his anger.

These people from the Clear Sky Sect only knew how to fight and lacked effective management skills; although they were incomparably brave on the battlefield, they were just a group of people who only knew how to solve problems with force.

The kingdom's affairs were made a complete mess, and the lives of the common people were in dire straits.

Tang San had, after all, worked at the Spirit Hall Academy for so long, and he had been exposed to many things.

The Spirit Hall Academy had a management major, which was divided into business management, economic management, and many other categories, specifically to cultivate management talent.

Previously, Tang San had not paid attention to these, but now the people of the Clear Sky Sect had directly conquered a kingdom and killed so many ministers, leading to a shortage of management personnel.

Few of the Clear Sky Sect disciples had management skills; after all, they were sect disciples who only needed to focus on Cultivation, so where would they have learned management?

Seeing this, Tang San also felt a headache.

Tang San had worked at the Spirit Hall Academy for many years, so even if he had not studied management, he had some common sense.

He understood that the smooth operation of a kingdom did not rely solely on powerful force, but also required effective management and leadership.

Therefore, he decided to formulate a comprehensive management system to change the current state of the kingdom.

He gathered the Elders and ministers, preparing to hold a meeting to discuss it.

Once this meeting started, it lasted for over a week.

However, the progress of this meeting was not smooth.

The plans they proposed, while seemingly reasonable, actually contained many loopholes.

The result was that nothing was discussed, and time was wasted in vain.

Tang San realized that formulating a management system was not an easy task.

During this week, even though Tang San himself was a god-level powerhouse, he was left battered and exhausted.

Not only Tang San, but everyone was the same.

Modifying the kingdom's previous management system was simply not suitable for the current situation.

The helpless Tang San took two books out of his Storage Soul Guidance Ring.

The large characters on the covers read "Spirit Hall Management Regulations" and "Development History of Spirit City".

There was no help for it; he had to admit that the things from the Spirit Hall were indeed useful.

He had read both of these books; the management regulations covered every aspect of administration and were very comprehensive and detailed.

As for the book on development history, it seemed useless, but it had a significant role in the development of a kingdom.

One passage within it introduced how Wuhun City had once also been extremely lacking in talent, and it went on to describe the countermeasures adopted by the Spirit Hall.

This experience made Tang San deeply realize that management ability was of vital importance.

This was not only true for the management of a kingdom, but also for the development of the Clear Sky Sect.

He decided to select a portion of the Clear Sky Sect disciples with poorer talent and cultivate their management abilities.
