The Wuyin Sword Sect was destroyed.
The successive resistances were all suppressed by the Daojian Sect's disciples and failed to cause much splash.
Daojian Sect absorbed the strength of Wuyin Sword Sect, including but not limited to power, skills, swords, and special opportunities for sword practice. Its strength has increased greatly, and it has become the well-deserved number one sect in Hengduan Mountain.
After gaining the title of No. 1, on the one hand, those who would have originally joined Zhishen Valley and Wuyin Sword Sect, and those who were hesitant about whether to practice cultivation, all joined Daojian Sect, so Daojian Sect had many more high-quality disciples join the mountain gate;
On the other hand, the alchemists in Zhishen Valley, who were left with nowhere else to go, eventually joined Daojian Sect. For other independent cultivators who wanted to join a sect, Daojian Sect was also their best choice.
On the other hand, all explicit or implicit resources in the Hengduan Mountains will now be controlled by the Daojian Sect.
Therefore, the strength of Daojianmen will grow rapidly over a long period of time in the future, until it becomes the most powerful sect that can be nurtured in the Immortal Relics Land.
By that time, Daojian Sect would be the number one sect in the Immortal Relics Land... and perhaps even the most powerful sect in the history of the Immortal Relics Land.
Yes, only then will Daojian Sect be the number one sect. The current Daojian Sect, which has destroyed the two major sects of Zhishen Valley and Wuyin Sword Sect, is not the number one sect in the Immortal Relics Land.
All we can say now is that the Daojian Sect has great development prospects, and it is very likely to be the strongest sect in the Immortal Relics Land.
But now, it is just the youth version of the most powerful sect.
Words like "very promising" and "youth version" mean that it is likely to die.
It needs to organize the implicit and explicit resources of the Hengduan Mountains and the Immortal Relics Land, and then develop for a period of time before it can become the strongest sect in the Immortal Relics Land.
And this process is the darkness before dawn, the last step of a hundred steps, and the last tremor before success.
If this process is not handled properly, the first ninety-nine steps have been taken but the last step is not taken well, then the Infinite Sword Sect will be a lesson for us, a living example, and the Emperor Chongzhen who was hung on a crooked tree.
Of course, the worst case scenario is the sect being destroyed and people dying.
However, a better and more likely scenario is that during this process, Daojian Sect's internal affairs were not handled well and small conflicts continued to arise; its foreign affairs were not handled well and it was tripped up by small sects; external forces from the Hengduan Mountains maliciously interfered and affected its development; in the end, it stumbled and missed the best window of development, and only developed a little, or even no development at all.
Then, the resources that originally belonged to them were snatched away and eaten up by other forces, and other forces took the opportunity to develop.
Then it is very likely that there will be a super sect and multiple large sects in the Hengduan Mountains; or even several large sects with strength similar to that of the Daojian Sect, and large sects will emerge simultaneously.
There will not be a situation where the Daojian Sect dominates the Hengduan Mountains and then rules the world.
The Hengduan Mountains once again became a place where multiple sects confronted each other.
Daojian Sect destroyed two large sects, but all their efforts were in vain.
Regarding this, people would probably say that Daojianmen is really strong. It is an old and powerful sect that has stood for thousands of years.
The above is the most likely scenario for the Hengduan Mountains in the future.
Otherwise, why do people always say that it is difficult to conquer a country, but it is even more difficult to keep it
Dealing with internal affairs has always been an extremely difficult task; anyone who can sort out internal affairs is a great figure who will be remembered through the ages.
Therefore, among the three steps listed by Qin Ran, the last and most difficult step is to help Xuan Qin deal with internal affairs, integrate resources, and become an immortal dynasty.
In response to the current development difficulties faced by Daojianmen, the head of Danfeng proposed two strategic suggestions: increasing revenue and reducing expenditure.
Increase revenue and reduce expenditure. We need to both increase revenue and reduce expenditure.
Take disciple resources as an example.
Open source means that Daojianmen needs to improve its image and expand its influence, so that more ordinary people can know about Daojianmen and come to Daojianmen to become disciples;
To save money, Dao Jian Men must raise the threshold for becoming a disciple so that only high-quality resources can join. More importantly, it is necessary to prevent disciples from harboring evil intentions.
As for how to prevent the sect from becoming the second Wuyin Sword Sect and causing internal divisions and confrontations, the chief monk put forward two suggestions. One was to optimize the political structure within the sect, and the other was to establish a special violence organization to facilitate timely response.
The optimization of the political system, taking the promotion system for new disciples as an example.
In the past, disciples who passed the Daojian Sect's assessment were divided into menial disciples, outer disciples, inner disciples, and personal disciples based on their talents. Now, this system has been abolished, and all disciples who join Daojian Sect, regardless of their talents, backgrounds, or ages, are outer disciples.
Daojian Sect will arrange an assessment every three years. The assessment content includes cultivation, combat power, culture and interview. Those who pass the assessment will be promoted, and those who fail to meet the standards or are too poor will be demoted. The first three items of the assessment content are to ensure the comprehensive quality of the disciples; the last item is to ensure that the disciples have no evil intentions.
The violent organization formed is also different from the previous law enforcement team of Daojianmen. The law enforcement team is a mission-based guard for disciples, which is a hobby. The violent organization will be a professional combat disciple. Every disciple who joins this violent organization must pass the test of cultivation, combat power, and culture, and then check their talents. Most importantly, their background must be clean.
Such violent institutions react quickly and eliminate the possibility of rebellion.
This violent organization looks like a military... It seems that Chief Qin is governing Daojianmen like a country.
As for the issue of cost-cutting, that is, how Daojianmen recruits disciples now, I will not elaborate on this matter. As for the issue of increasing revenue, I will need to talk about it for a few more paragraphs.
Qin Shouzu pointed out that after two battles to destroy the sect, Daojian Sect's reputation in the Immortal Relics Land was already great enough. But Daojian Sect did not want to continue fighting, but to seek development and consolidate the conquered territory. So the reputation of violence needed to be hidden, and the gentle image should be promoted. Both martial arts and literature should be grasped with both hands, and both hands should be strong.
The martial arts are already strong enough; now we need to focus on the literary side.
Daojianmen needs a special department to handle this matter, and to publicize to the people in the Immortal Relics Land that Daojianmen is righteous, gentle, and progressive, and everyone should not be afraid.
Among them, Shouzuo also said that one can take the idol route.
Find some disciples with good looks and strong strength to travel the world, slay demons and monsters for the Immortal Land, uphold justice, and serve as the image ambassadors of Daojianmen. The publicity department took the opportunity to publicize their deeds, so that everyone in the Immortal Land would know that Daojianmen is a good sect.
And Tian Wenjin, the woman who was on both the Dao Jian Sect's Prodigy List and the Most Beautiful List, has undoubtedly become one of the image ambassadors that Dao Jian Sect focuses on training.
The Merciless Swordsman, this is her code name when she travels around the world.
But how can a person who slays demons and upholds justice be a ruthless swordsman
Everyone in the Immortal Relics Land knows that the Merciless Sword Immortal has a Sentimental Sword.
A lightning sword can kill the peerless demons with monstrous cultivation, and also kill the evil villains in the market who bully men and women.
It is precisely because she has cut off the seven emotions and six desires that she has absolute justice and fairness. It should be known that God has no seven emotions and six desires.
Because she has no emotions, the Merciless Sword Fairy is also called the Daughter of God; because she uses lightning sword techniques, she is also called the incarnation of Thunder God.
By comparing Heaven and Thunder God, we can understand the style of the Merciless Swordsman... and his popularity.
In Xuanqin territory, outside Anlu city.
Leaden clouds hung heavily over the city, and the sky was dim.
In the dark clouds, there were constant lightning and thunder, and the demons were wailing. It seemed that above the clouds, there was a demon who had committed many evil deeds and was being punished by the gods.
Under this heavy and terrifying cloud, in front of the high city wall, the people of Anlu stood full. Almost all the people in Anlu City came out, with the elderly and children with yellow hair among them. They all looked up, and looked seriously with serious faces.
If you look closely, you can see light and hope in their eyes, the light of hope that the demons will be punished and justice will be served.
finally…
“Ah~”
With an eerie scream, a huge corpse fell out of the clouds.
All the people in the city were shocked. When they looked carefully, they found that the corpse was actually a giant centipede, more than a hundred feet long.
"Dead... That evil guy is finally dead!" someone said happily.
Someone explained the reason: "It turns out that the city lord is a centipede monster in disguise. No wonder children often go missing in the city, and no wonder chickens are not allowed in the city."
"Or the city lord was killed and the centipede monster took his place."
The city became lively, with voices of applause everywhere... It was clear that the people of this city had suffered from the centipede monster for a long time.
"boom!"
The centipede monster fell to the ground, the leaden clouds in the sky dispersed, the sky became bright, and a bright light shot out from the cracked clouds.
In this light, the people of Anlu City saw a beautiful woman like a fairy, carrying a sword on her back, walking slowly down from the light. She was in mid-air, and glanced at the people underground with coldness and ruthlessness.
Before she opened her mouth, the people underground recognized her:
"Is that the Merciless Sword Immortal from Daojian Sect? He is indeed a god-like person!"
"It is said that the ruthless swordsman has justice for all mankind in his heart. He kills demons with his sword and no evil dares to approach him!"
"If you are successful, you should help the world. Daojian Sect is truly a sect of benevolence and righteousness!"
"… "
The noisy voices continued for a long time, and finally merged into one voice: "Greetings to the Merciless Sword Immortal!"
If you say bow, then bow.
All the people in the city knelt down and bowed to the stunning swordsman in the air.
The sword immortal looked at the people and spoke in a clear voice that resounded across heaven and earth: "Now that the demons have been slain, the universe is clear. You do not need to kneel down and worship me. I am leaving now!"
After saying that, the sword on her back flew out, she took a step forward, and flew away on the sword. She was truly a fairy.
The people of Anlu were impressed and bowed again: "Farewell, Sword Immortal!"
Anlu City is not far from the Hengduan Mountains. There are many monks and demons. In fact, there are often demons and beasts in the city. It is normal to have a centipede city lord.
Tian Wenjin was originally brushing KPIs somewhere else, but she appeared here because she received a message. She was rushing back to Daojianmen overnight, and when she passed by this place, she killed a 100-foot centipede.
After doing good deeds and leaving her name, she continued to fly towards Daojianmen.
"Haha... I don't understand what's the point of you doing all these things." The sword under her feet made a sound, it was Huang Feiyu's voice, "Apart from getting a compliment, what else is there? Can you get cultivation resources? Can you improve your cultivation? It's just a waste of energy and time. What a stupid move."
"This was Junior Master's idea." Tian Wenjin replied.
"I admit that Junior Master Uncle has some brains, but he is trapped in the land of immortal ruins. He has no vision and no pattern. Everything he thinks and does seems petty." Huang Feiyu said.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Tian Wenjin asked.
"The Land of Immortals is extremely barren. Even if Daojian Sect unified the Land of Immortals, it would not be able to achieve anything." Huang Feiyu said, "With your talent, Wenjin, your stage is outside the Land of Immortals. You should go to Lingnan Immortal Sect. The resources there are enough for you to become an immortal. I have accumulated a lot of resources. As long as you go, I will tell you."
"Hmm..." Tian Wenjin said, "What kind of resources are they?"
"Of course there is a technique. The techniques of Daojian Sect are crude and vulgar. When I go to Lingnan Xianzong, the first thing I have to do is to change the techniques..."
Along the way, Huang Feiyu kept talking, advising Tian Wenjin not to waste time, to leave Daojianmen as soon as possible and go to Lingnan Xianzong to develop. He left sufficient resources in Lingnan Xianzong, etc. But he didn't know that his soul was seriously injured. Tian Wenjin spared his life because of their old friendship, but because of his damaged soul, he could not continue and often lost his memory...
He had said this to Tian Wenjin countless times.
Tian Wenjin flew above Daojian Gate and saw from mid-air that the market in front of the gate had been moved away.
Daojian Sect wanted to become the number one sect, so it naturally had to pay attention to its image. The market in front of the mountain gate had moved to a place ten miles away; the small town in front of the mountain gate had become a place to receive outsiders and foreign forces.
At this time, in the small town, Dong Zhongyuan was sitting at a square table, talking with the leader of a small sect.
… The controller of each Tianjiao list is actually a candidate for the position of the head.
Dong Zhongyuan now works as a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and his treatment is much better than that of previous controllers.
Tian Wenjin flew by, and he noticed it, waved in the air, and greeted: "Hi, Wenjin!"
"Yeah." Tian Wenjin stopped and nodded in response.
"Are you back because of that incident?" Dong Zhongyuan sat on the chair, ignoring the leader of the small sect in front of him, smiling, and chatting loudly with Tian Wenjin.
"Yeah." Tian Wenjin nodded again.
"It's okay, they will come back." Dong Zhongyuan said, "Master Junior has called me too, will you wait for me?"
Tian Wenjin shook his head without hesitation.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Dong Zhongyuan was puzzled.
Tian Wenjin didn't explain and turned to enter the formation barrier.
"Is that the Merciless Sword Immortal?" asked the leader of the small sect in front of Dong Zhongyuan, his eyes shining, "She is so beautiful."
Dong Zhongyuan retracted his gaze, looked at him with a smile on his face, and said, "Wen Jin is in the late Jindan stage, and can rival a Yuanying cultivator. In the battle to destroy Zhishen Valley, she killed Wuyin Sword Sect's core disciple, a Yuanying cultivator, Fu Ming head-on."
The sect leader paused, looked away, and became respectful.
"She is ruthless! Her sword is even colder!" Dong Zhongyuan continued, "She is ranked fifth on the Daojian Sect's Prodigy Ranking. You must respect her."
The sect leader bowed his head and said, "Yes."
"Let's continue discussing how Daojianmen can support your sect..."
Tian Wenjin entered the mountain protection formation and did not return to Jianfeng, but went directly to Danfeng.
She hurriedly broke into the forbidden area of Danfeng and flew to the old locust tree and in front of the cabin.
Smoke was rising from the eaves of the cabin; white locust flowers fell from the old locust tree. She stood in the rain of petals, looking at the kitchen of the cabin.
There was a scent in the air that wafted from the kitchen.
She stepped on the petals, walked forward, entered through the living room door, crossed the living room, and came to the kitchen door.
She stood at the door and looked forward. Two people were busy in the kitchen.
They have a good understanding of each other. One of them cuts vegetables while the other cooks, one stews soup while the other controls the fire. They work together closely. One of them is gentle and elegant, while the other is docile and friendly. They are also a good match.
You can tell at first glance that they are a kind couple.
Qin Ran noticed Tian Wenjin coming, and smiled and nodded to her, saying hello. Then, he took off his apron, tied it on Li Shiyin, and then turned and left, leaving the kitchen to them.
Li Shiyin was standing by the stove, smiling gently; Tian Wenjin was standing by the kitchen door, expressionless.
They looked at each other.
After a while, Tian Wenjin realized that she shouldn't have a blank expression. She tried to smile, but she had forgotten how to smile. So her pretty face turned ugly when she smiled.
Li Shiyin looked at it and felt very distressed.
“Shiyin…” Tian Wenjin opened her mouth, wanting to say something, wanting to speak her mind, wanting to express her feelings before Li Shiyin left, but she looked at Li Shiyin and no sound came out of her open mouth.
"I know." Li Shiyin smiled gently, walked towards Tian Wenjin, opened her arms, and hugged Tian Wenjin in her arms.
Li Shiyin's gentle smile reminded Tian Wenjin of Qin Ran. She instinctively disliked it, but she did not refuse Li Shiyin's embrace.
"You deserve better." Li Shiyin said softly, "Or, no one is worthy of the Merciless Sword Immortal."
At this moment, Tian Wenjin seemed to have lost all her skills, all her fighting power, and all her combat experience. She turned back into the ignorant little girl she was at the beginning, ignorant, proud, and fragile.
She hugged Li Shiyin's waist tightly with both hands and buried her head in Li Shiyin's arms. She felt safe, with tears in her eyes and a smile on her lips.
After a long while, she asked in her arms: "Are you leaving?"
"Um."
"Where are you going?"
"Outside the Immortal Relics Land."
"What are you going to do?"
"Play."
"Is it okay not to go?"
Li Shiyin gently stroked Tian Wenjin's hair, just like her master stroked her. She looked down at Tian Wenjin and asked, "Can you come with me?"
In an instant, Tian Wenjin felt a huge urge in her heart. She wanted to agree, so she said yes.
She raised her head and saw Li Shiyin looking at her tenderly. There was pity in Li Shiyin's eyes, but no love.
So her word "OK" was silent.
She lowered her head and said, "Daojianmen has just started, and I want to stay in Daojianmen. I am the image promotion ambassador of Daojianmen. I am very popular, have a lot of resources, and have a high status. There is no need for me to leave Daojianmen. Daojianmen will be the number one sect in the Immortal Land in the future..."
She said a lot of things and gave a lot of reasons.
Li Shiyin stroked her back with her other hand and said "hmm" softly.
They hugged each other quietly and said goodbye.
Smiling on the face, crying in the heart.
