Chapter 980: Chapter 948: 6-Star Sect Cohesion

Since reaching the Late-stage Nascent Soul, Cyan Mountain Sect has developed particularly quickly with a continuous increase in the number of disciples, causing Lu Ping to seldom use the System Mall anymore.

This time, taking advantage of having some spare time, there is nearly a hundred thousand reputation points, it’s the perfect opportunity to do some refreshes to see if some good six-star items can be drawn.

reputation points are used to refresh the System Mall once, and Lu Ping directly did fifty consecutive refreshes, deducting 2000 reputation points.

The System Mall interface flickered and the results were quickly displayed.

There were sixteen five-star items.

There were three six-star items.

[Sect Cohesion - Six-Star]

[Effect: Once activated, it can greatly enhance the cohesion among sect members, encouraging mutual aid and harmonious coexistence. This effect lasts for ten years, with no limit on the number of people.]

[Reputation: 10000]

...

Regarding sect cohesion, Lu Yuanshan and the others usually pay attention to it, often encouraging disciples to assist each other and communicate amicably.

For this purpose, they often hold activities to promote relationships among sect members.

Seeing this item, Lu Ping was interested.

After all, a sect is different from a cultivation clan, where people are united by blood, naturally leading to fewer conflicts and more unity, making it easier to accomplish great deeds.

However, a sect is not the same.

Sects in the world are numerous, varying in size and strength, with distinct characteristics between the Righteous Dao and the Demonic Dao.

No matter the type of sect, they recruit disciples from far and wide, each with different experiences, views, and perspectives.

Added to the competition for sect resources, it’s easy for disciples to develop divisions and conflict.

Therefore, for a sect to develop long-term, many regulations and frameworks are established to restrain and discipline the conduct and cultivation of disciples.

Between the Righteous Dao and the Demonic Dao, the latter tends to allow disciples to freely compete and kill, following the rule of survival of the fittest.

Cyan Mountain Sect is not of the Demonic Dao, so naturally, it needs to create a good, comfortable, and pleasant environment for cultivation.

That’s why, seeing the item [Six-Star - Sect Cohesion], Lu Ping was very interested in the exchange.

The second six-star item has a different effect, also acting upon the entire sect.

[Sect Attraction - Six-Star]

[Effect: With the sect as the center, it radiates attraction to cultivators within a million miles, encouraging them to aspire to join the sect for cultivation. The effect lasts for ten years and can be used together with other items.]

[Reputation: 10000]

...

"Sect Attraction, with the boost from this item, more outstandingly talented cultivators will be attracted to join the Cyan Mountain Sect for cultivation."

Lu Ping smiled with interest.

Finally, there’s the third item.

[Sect’s Mysterious Power - Six-Star]

[Effect: Enhances the sect with a mysterious Heavenly Dao power, making the sect appear extremely mysterious and powerful in the eyes of outsiders, preventing disrespect, disdain, or provocation. The effect lasts for ten years.]

[Reputation: 10000]

...

All three six-star items are related to the sect; Lu Ping did not hesitate much and spent 30,000 reputation points to exchange for them, applying them to the Cyan Mountain Sect.

As the effects began, the sect’s cohesion, attraction, and mysterious power all started to take effect, impacting members within the sect as well as cultivators and mortals outside.

From this day onwards, the many conflicts and divisions among the Cyan Mountain Sect’s disciples would gradually disappear and mend.

Sects and cultivators around the area increasingly felt the strength of the Cyan Mountain Sect.

Additionally, with Lu Ping’s recent display of prowess in the Southern Wilderness, slaying two Nascent Soul Demon Emperors, his reputation has spread throughout Lingxi State, becoming known far and wide.

Even strong forces like Dubhe Institute have recently named and praised Lu Ping for acting promptly and stabilizing the Southern Wilderness beast tide.

Otherwise, if such a level of beast tide were to suddenly occur and reach various parts of the Chu Kingdom, it would result in devastation and widespread suffering.

There wouldn’t be today’s peace and tranquility.

Lu Ping’s contributions to Lingxi State also brought great fame to Cyan Mountain Sect, making it known to more cultivators.

Even neighboring Yongning State, Beimang State, Snowfield Plateau, and Qingli Sea Cultivation Realm have spread Lu Ping and Cyan Mountain Sect’s prestigious name.

"Cyan Mountain Sect is the pinnacle sect I aspire to join; I must strive hard to become a disciple of the Cyan Mountain Sect."

"I feel the same. Cyan Mountain Sect is a Nascent Soul Sect, and I wish to witness True Monarch Lu’s unparalleled elegance."

This is the aspiration of many family heirs and loose cultivators.

Now, the existence of Cyan Mountain Sect is like a shining lighthouse stationed on the Lingxi State Continent, its radiance inspires many people, guiding them to find their direction.

Do you often feel confused in cultivation, lacking spirit stones and unsure of where to acquire resources?

Have you ever wished to rise above, not wanting to become insignificant or fodder for demon fiends, but unsure how to grasp your fate and gain a chance?

Or do you have great ambitions but feel like just another insignificant person, not knowing how to defy fate and change your destiny to stand out?

Or wonder why immortals can roam the world and look down on all beings, while you’re stuck like a frog at the bottom of the well?

Do you want to defy destiny?

Do you want to cultivate immortality?

Do you wish to become an immortal, roam the skies, consume dawn mist, drink jade nectar, and attain eternal Daoist techniques, playing in the mortal realm?

With grand aspirations, unwilling to be mediocre, try your luck at Cyan Mountain Sect, see if you encounter good fortune.

In summary, if you want to stand out, joining Cyan Mountain Sect is the right choice.

This impression is what Cyan Mountain Sect brings to the Human Race of Lingxi State.

Certainly, by joining the Heaven-Facing Sect, Celestial Saint Palace, Shenxiao Sect, and other sect forces, one can have opportunities for cultivation and acquiring resources.

However, in everyone’s hearts, Cyan Mountain Sect is the top existence, a more beautiful cultivation sacred land compared to Dubhe Institute.

...

Time flies, and in just over a month, battle reports continue to arrive from the Southern Wilderness.

More than a month ago, ever since the Earth Fire Rock Lion and Purple Jade Celestial Python were slain by Lu Ping, Nine Cold Mountain, Cyan Mountain Sect, Heaven-Facing Sect, and Dubhe Institute left personnel to clear the remnants of demon beasts in the Southern Wilderness.

According to statistics, since that unified strike before the beast tide was crushed, about 800,000 demon beasts were eliminated.

About 200,000 scattered demon beasts remain in various parts of the Southern Wilderness forest.

Despite appearing insignificant compared to the million-strong beast group, left with only about 20 percent, these are unlikely to pose a threat.

However, even with just 200,000 demon beast remnants, if they unite again and mount an attack on various locations in the Chu Kingdom, apart from Cyan Mountain Sect and Heaven-Facing Sect, which of these top sects could withstand them?

If these demon beasts aren’t eradicated, they remain a great worry, especially as the Southern Wilderness Demon Race tore the agreement first, so they naturally won’t show mercy.

To speed up the cleanup, Dubhe Institute has started recruiting some sect forces and clans to join the fight, stand guard at the Southern Wilderness forest border, and prepare for strict defense.
