Chapter 256

"Since you have become outer sect elders, you are considered Shushan disciples; from now on, refer to yourselves as disciples."

"As for your name... the outer sect elders of my generation should belong to the 'Yun' generation."

"From now on, you shall be the Great Elder of the Outer Sect Elder Council, Yun Qing."

"And you shall be the Second Elder of the Outer Sect Elder Council, Yun Hua."

A flash of surprise crossed their eyes, and they bowed:

"Disciple accepts the order!"

Jiang Yan looked at the other gods and said softly:

"As for you, rank yourselves according to your strength to form the Outer Sect Elder Council."

"From now on, the Outer Sect Elder Council will be responsible to me and the Law Enforcement Hall."

"I hope you can shoulder the responsibilities of outer sect elders, manage the disciples, and urge the outer sect disciples to cultivate."

The gods bowed in unison.

"Disciples will strictly follow the Sect Master's decree!"

Jiang Yan nodded slightly.

"The outer sect disciples are scattered at the foot of the seven peaks of Shushan; you can each find a cave dwelling at the foot of the mountain to settle down later."

"After you have settled in, go to the Law Enforcement Hall and report to Elder Zhongli."

"In addition, there is the matter of your cultivation."

After speaking, Jiang Yan fell silent for a moment, but the gods became excited, looking at Jiang Yan with eager eyes.

Proper cultivation—this was what they truly sought after joining Shushan.

Jiang Yan pondered for a moment and looked up at the gods.

"After you cultivate, you will all be cultivators at the stage of Refining Qi into Spirit, and you must undergo the lightning tribulation."

"But having so many people undergo the tribulation at the same time puts some pressure on Shushan."

"Therefore, after the mountain gates open and the outer sect disciples enter."

"Based on your monthly management and contributions, two elders will be chosen to pass down cultivation techniques, and you will officially begin to cultivate immortality."

"At the same time, contribution points will be issued based on each of your contributions; you should know the use of contribution points, so I won't say much more."

"Every month, you will have one opportunity to enter the Scripture Pavilion to select cultivation techniques."

"The assessment of contributions will be the responsibility of Elder Alice of the Law Enforcement Hall."

"Do you have any objections?"

How could the gods have any objections to what Jiang Yan said? They immediately bowed and shouted.

"The Sect Master is wise."

As the words fell, the gazes the many gods cast at each other held a bit more wariness and hostility.

During this time, they had learned far too much about the benefits of cultivating immortality.

Every day they looked forward to being able to cultivate themselves; even in their dreams, they were joining Shushan and embarking on the path of immortality.

Now that there was a real opportunity, these gods naturally did not want to be a step behind others in starting their cultivation.

Although the outer sect disciples would only be able to join Shushan in a month.

But their competition had already begun.

They were all old monsters who had lived for thousands of years; who didn't understand what the others were thinking?

The resources of the outer sect were limited; if others contributed more, their own contributions would be less.

More than twenty outer sect elders were dividing up nearly a thousand outer sect disciples.

This battle was not going to be easy to fight.

The gods were already racking their brains thinking about how to contribute to the management of the outer sect.

Jiang Yan would not interfere with this kind of healthy competition.

In any case, they could all cultivate within a year, and with his cultivation level, a year was just the blink of an eye.

The Outer Sect Elder Council had already been arranged, and Jiang Yan was too lazy to say more, waving his hand:

"Since that is the case, go and prepare. As for the specific management, you can come up with a plan yourselves later and submit it to the Law Enforcement Hall for review."

Jiang Yan had issued the order to leave, so the gods naturally dared not delay, bowing:

"Disciples take their leave!"

154. Lady Ningguang's new treasure, if I call your name, do you dare to answer?

Leaving the sect's main hall.

The gods took a deep breath for the first time; the spiritual energy, so dense it had almost turned into mist, entered their bodies.

It made them involuntarily squint their eyes and enjoy it.

This was their first time coming to Tongtian Peak, or one could say.

This was their first time stepping into the territory of Shushan.

Although they were in the Shushan world, not every place in the Shushan world could be called Shushan.

This was the holy land of the Shushan world.

The place where cultivators gathered.

And from now on, they wouldn't have to look at others cultivating with envy every day, only able to cultivate in their dreams.

They were also people of Shushan now, and they could truly embark on the path of cultivation.

Thinking that they would also be able to fly on swords and roam freely between heaven and earth in the future.

The gods became somewhat excited.

If they weren't still on Tongtian Peak, they might have been unable to resist shouting a few times to liven things up.

However, the gods soon reacted, each looking at the others with some vigilance.

The wariness in their eyes was undisguised.

Even gods who had once been allies quietly moved away, guarding against each other.

Two spots every month.

Although everyone could cultivate within a year at the latest, who would be willing to be a step slower than others?

Cultivating immortality is a race against time.

One step slow, and every step is slow.

Yun Hua saw the performance of these gods in her eyes and felt some disdain in her heart.

In the end, even if they could cultivate, she didn't think these gods, who were weaker than her, could be faster than her.

Now, the matter of the outer sect elders was an opportunity; she had to find a way to keep jumping higher.

Striving to become a true existence of the Shushan inner sect.

Thinking for a moment, Yun Hua floated over and said:

"Everyone, the Sect Master has said that our duty is to manage the outer sect disciples well."

"From now on, we must work together in the same boat and contribute to Shushan. I hope everyone can cooperate and help each other."

The gods all looked at their noses and hearts, and no one answered.

It was indeed working for Shushan, but as for helping each other...

That was better forgotten.

There were only two spots a month; if they helped her, who would help them?

Yun Hua had long anticipated this possibility and quietly glanced at Yun Qing.

The latter understood immediately.

He and Yun Hua were both creatures of the Sea of Quanta, the strongest, and were the Great Elder and Second Elder.

The first batch of gods to cultivate must be them.

The two of them could cooperate most directly.

Immediately, Yun Qing took up the conversation.

"I know you all want to be the first batch to cultivate, but remember, our duty is to manage the outer sect disciples."

"It is precisely because the Sect Master needs us to manage the outer sect well that we can have such an opportunity."

"If we only think about scheming against each other, it is inevitable that we will anger the Sect Master."

"At that time, there is no guarantee that the opportunity in hand won't be ruined, leading to lifelong regret."

"I presume you don't want to go back to your old lives, do you?"
