Chapter 988: Already Given Up?
“What my Sword Sect Head wants is for subject to be thick skinned and ask Ruler for a position. It doesn’t have to be too high, as long as I can participate in policies and be in on the action it is okay.”
Feng Taiji calmed himself subject right away, making Zong Shou feel really emotional.
Half a month ago, that iron faced strategist of Zong Shou’s said that they might become subjects working together. At this moment, it really happened. He was also the one who directly asked to become an official.
Although he said it didn’t have to be too high, to be able to be in on the action and participate, it had to be an important role.
However, the more he spoke, the more confident Feng Taiji felt about himself.
“My Sword Sect has already made a decision. We will gather 150 Celestial Realms, as well as at least 10 God Realm, to rush over to build an external base here! Apart from that, two Saint Realm Venerables will rush over.”
He also said, “Since my Sword Sect holds 10% of the meeting hall, then naturally we would have to put in work. If Ruler has orders, we will listen to them all. However, what are our Sword Sect’s powers and duties? We need Ruler to make it clear.”
Zong Shou looked over in shock and was astonished.
Before this, Yuanlian World was locked down by the few surrounding powers. Even if there was news, it couldn’t be spread out.
At this moment, the Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty was wiped out and the other two sides had no choice but to back off and ask for peace. Naturally, the connection with the Cloud World was restored.
He also knew that Sword Sect and Buddhist Faction would react when they knew about the situation here.
They would largely increase their investment such that their stake wouldn’t be too shallow.
However, 150 Celestial Realms and 10 God Realms, this scale was totally unexpected. It was a huge deal.
Sword Sect Cultivators couldn’t be compared to normal cultivators; they grew up in the Cloud World that had low spiritual energy, and also roamed the outer region alone to walk up, step by step.
At the same cultivation, one God Realm from the Sword Sect could at least defeat three of the God Realms that he had recruited.
There also weren’t many of them within the Sword Sect.
This meant that this Sword Sect, one of the five factions in the Cloud World saw this place as equally important as the Cloud World.
Before the chaos in the Cloud World rose, to take out a portion of their strength would require huge amounts of courage.
His lips curled up, he didn’t hesitate to speak, “My Dynasty lack talents and has many empty spots. However, the one most suitable for you is still the Imperial Censor. Why doesn’t Brother Feng take the position of Right Capital Imperial Censor of my Celestial Dynasty?”
He really had no reason to reject. With this Sword Sect helping him, the Great Gan Celestial Dynasty would be extremely stable.
It was even possible to expand even further.
He would add strength to Kui Xuan, increasing the stakes there.
This is why this time Zong Shou would seem really greedy.
Feng Taiji was also delighted. This position was really suitable and it was a rare powerful position in the Celestial Dynasty.
It could monitor the various countries and restrict the officials below while being able to know about the secrets above.
After the sense of joy, he was in deep thought.
Zong Shou gave him this role not just because he had high hopes and trust in him, but there was another reason.
He wanted to use his hand to monitor the Sword Sect and the disciples who might make mistakes in the future.
At this moment, he wasn’t able to think too deeply about it as Feng Taiji said, “Great! Right Capital Imperial Censor it is!”
He made the decision without any need to ask for advice from the Ten Thousand Sword Vast Habitat and various other sects.
The Sword Sect has struggled for 10,000 years since splitting from Taoist Faction to have such achievements.
It wasn’t that they didn’t try to expand outward, but each time they returned in failure.
On the contrary, it nearly shook their foundations in the Cloud World.
However, at this moment, Great Gan had sucked in those dozens of worlds into its rule.
This was something that even when you added up all the tries from the Sword Sect previously they couldn’t compare to.
Pretty much each time they would be forced back.
This was due to the few End Realm Saint Venerables in the outer region being wary and also because the few other factions of the Cloud World were pulling them back.
It was rare that they were able to see a bit of hope on Zong Shou. Naturally, they wouldn’t miss it and would go all out to walk out of this prison which was the Cloud World.
It was that Heaven Opening End Treasure in the Cloud World which they had no chances of obtaining.
With the few Cloud World Sects competing, Sword Sect’s situation was only slightly better than Common People’s Path.
Since there was another viable option to obtain more disciples and resources, then they gave up. They wanted to observe the situation from the outside.
They knew that since Zong Shou made an offer, then they couldn’t hesitate and there was no need to hesitate.
“Sword Sect really is going all out!”
Zifang smiled, “Luckily, Buddhist Faction is also able to invest things in. We have 280 Celestial Realm and 15 Luohans. There will be three Boddhistavas who would also enter Yuanlian.”
In the Buddhist Faction, Luohan was the same as God Realm and Boddhisatvas were the same as Saint Realms.
As for half step to End Realm, at least holding one God Treasure, those could be called Buddhas.
Zong Shou listened on and wasn’t surprised at all. As expected, this Buddhist Faction was sharp-eyed. How would they miss such a chance to spread the Dao?
The ones they chose to take out was much more than the Sword Sect.
Next, they would see what this guy wanted to offer.
“13% of the meeting hall! Apart from that, does Ruler lack a Grand Teacher?”
Great Gan expanding naturally meant that the meeting hall needed to be adjusted.
Zong Shou’s methods were gentle and he would definitely give the people of the worlds he took down rights to join the meeting. As such, the meeting hall numbers would also increase.
Sword Sect and Buddhist Faction helped really little and based on that, their percentage was reduced.
They were afraid and regretted it, so they invested much more in case their future rewards would be further reduced.
Feng Taiji’s Eyes squinted in displeasure and in the end he didn’t say much.
Buddhist Faction invested more, so naturally they would receive more benefits.
“Grand Teacher?”
Zong Shou thought back to Zhongxuan, he shook his head and laughed, “I have no objections but to be the Grand Teacher one must be able to view energy and calculate changes and predict fortune and misfortune. Is Master Zifang able to do that?”
When he heard this, he clapped his palms together and said solemnly, “This is my weakness, but naturally there are abled people in the Buddhist Faction. For example, the Buddha Jingyin whose prediction abilities are only something three to five people here could compare to. You won’t be disappointed!”
Talking about her, Zong Shou couldn’t help but think about Jingyin. How long was this nun going to hide from him?
“Since that was the case, then it was okay!”
He looked at Zhao Yanran. Since both Sword Sect and Buddhist Faction added stakes, then what about Common People’s Path. It wouldn’t be much.
Her face was ashen white as she said, “Three Saint Realm, 14 God Realm, and 250 Celestial Realm. Apart from that, there are 656 Spirit Realm.”
When Zong Shou heard this, his heart sank to the bottom of his chest.
Were all of Common People’s Path’s moves over?
They were giving up, even before it began?
