"This..." The sect masters of the various divine sects exchanged shocked glances, utterly stunned by
So the legendary Sacred Emperor truly existed? To have refined the entire Dragon Ruins Domain—just how powerful was that being?
"Take these sacred medicines, for example. Where else do you think one could find such things, besides the Heavenly God Ancestral Land?" Nie Li said with a faint smile, looking at everyone.
"Then you're from the Heavenly God Ancestral Land?" the assembled sect masters asked in astonishment, turning to look at Nie Li.
"The sect masters here are not fools. Who but someone from the Heavenly God Ancestral Land would so selflessly share this many sacred medicines? Unless it was for the life or death of the Dragon Ruins Domain, who would do such a thing?" Nie Li replied, looking at the group.
The others exchanged glances, falling into deep thought for a long moment.
It seemed Nie Li was undoubtedly from the Heavenly God Ancestral Land. Since he was, after some consideration, they realized that at this moment, their only way out was to unite and follow Nie Li's orders.
It seemed Nie Li hadn't actually admitted it, but everyone from the major sects had already made that assumption.
"Our Primordial Divine Sect is willing to follow Sect Master Nie's lead!" the master of the Primordial Divine Sect said after a moment's thought, cupping his hands slightly toward Nie Li. "If Sect Master Nie has a means to deal with the Sacred Emperor, we are fully willing to cooperate."
"Our Formless Divine Sect is willing to follow Sect Master Nie's lead!"
...
The masters of the various divine sects spoke up one after another. They had all thought it through: Nie Li had brought out so many sacred medicines. If he wanted something from them, their sects had nothing more precious to offer. The only explanation was his desire to confront the Sacred Emperor!
This reasoning made perfect sense.
When Nie Li had faced off against the Monster Prince before, they had also touched upon matters related to the Sacred Emperor.
"I, the Heavenly Sound Divine Sect, feel the same..."
"If we all work together, we will surely be able to defeat the Sacred Emperor and weather this great catastrophe!" Nie Li said with a gentle smile, his gaze sweeping over the crowd. His expectations had been met.
"Sect Master Nie, what should we do next?" the various divine sect masters asked.
"The next few things to be done—listen carefully, sect masters. I want you all to greatly expand your disciples. The six major sects currently have at least a million disciples each, but that is far from enough. I want every major sect to recruit tens of millions of disciples," Nie Li stated.
"Every year, the most talented individuals from the smaller realms have already been absorbed into the sects. The rest are the mediocre ones. Even if we recruit them, they'd be useless. How are we supposed to teach them?" the master of the Formless Divine Sect asked.
"I will give you some cultivation techniques. You are to copy them and simply pass them on to these disciples. Furthermore, every single disciple must cultivate a specific method called the Divine Soul Technique," Nie Li said.
"The Divine Soul Technique? What kind of technique is this?" the sect masters couldn't help but ask.
"Only by cultivating the Divine Soul Technique can one step into the Heavenly God Ancestral Land and enter a different realm. Cultivating the Divine Soul Technique has one great benefit: it drastically increases one's cultivation speed," Nie Li explained with a smile.
"In that case, we will follow Sect Master Nie's arrangements entirely!" the sect masters declared in unison.
"I will be leaving for a period of time. During my absence, I ask that you sect masters handle the matters I've entrusted to you as soon as possible," Nie Li said, cupping his hands slightly toward everyone.
