Wang Zhi felt a bit embarrassed and quickly turned his head to wipe away the tears from his eyes.
Today had truly been a rollercoaster of emotions.
It was time to start planning for the sect’s future.
Zhen Wu Sect had sent ten people this time, and all of them had been wiped out.
That meant Zhen Wu Sect would definitely come for revenge, so they needed to prepare quickly.
They had to find a safe place to settle before Zhen Wu Sect tracked them down.
Mo Yu was enthusiastic about thoroughly looting these people, taking out many valuable items, which would undoubtedly make Zhen Wu Sect even angrier.
Wang Zhi’s expression turned serious. “Great Elder, you, along with the Second and Fourth
Elders, take the disciples to find a safe, hidden place to serve as our new base. I’ll go with the Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Elders to bring the rest of the disciples in.”
“Starting today, all our disciples will enter seclusion for training. The sect will close its doors and no longer accept new disciples, focusing primarily on developing our strength.”
“Yes!”
Wang Zhi then turned to Mo Yu. “Little disciple, come with me. I need to talk to you about your senior brother.”
“Alright.”
Each floor of the Opportunity Tower had specific exits, but where the tower would transport people afterward was unpredictable.
Wang Zhi, the three elders, and Mo Yu left the Opportunity Tower, finding themselves over a vast ocean.
Had they not reacted quickly, they might have fallen straight into the sea.
The sect leader and elders wanted to hurry back to the sect but were worried Mo Yu might not keep up.
To their surprise, when they turned to look, Mo Yu was lying leisurely on the Soul-Devouring Sword, floating along without any urgency.
Wang Zhi chuckled and shook his head. “Let’s make haste and get back to the sect.”
“Agreed.”
They traveled nonstop until they reached Tuo Yue Sect.
Wang Zhi immediately gathered the inner and outer sect disciples, over forty thousand people, in the main hall.
He also summoned all disciples who were out training.
Standing on a high platform, Wang Zhi looked over the disciples.
“Everyone, I have good news. Our sect has been evaluated and is now a second-tier sect.”
His voice was calm but carried clearly to every ear.
His words were like a drop of water in hot oil, causing an explosion of excitement.
“What? Did I hear that right? A second-tier sect?”
“Aren’t we a fifth-tier sect? How did we suddenly…”
“Pinch me, am I dreaming? Is this real?”
“The sect leader must be joking. Are we really disciples of a second-tier sect now?”
It was like a gold nugget had fallen on their heads.
When they joined the sect, their families had warned them that the sect’s large-scale recruitment was a sign of its imminent downfall.
But now…
Within a month of joining, they had become a second-tier sect?
What luck.
Wang Zhi’s voice rang out again from above.
“From now on, the sect will no longer accept new disciples. For the next ten years, all disciples will go to the ninth floor of the Opportunity Tower for seclusion training. The seclusion ceremony will take place in two months. In the meantime, you may descend the mountain to reunite with your families.”
Having just become a second-tier sect, the priority was to improve the sect’s overall strength.
Seclusion training for all disciples was a common practice for sects aiming to improve their rank.
The serious tone in his voice made the disciples both nervous and excited.
Becoming a second-tier sect meant they could now access the ninth floor of the Opportunity Tower and below.
The ninth floor!
In the entire cultivation world, those who could access the ninth floor were incredibly rare.
It was a place they had only dreamed of reaching.
One disciple called out, “Grandmaster, how did our sect advance so quickly? It’s a miracle!”
When the sect leader and elders led them to the Opportunity Tower for evaluation, they had prayed not to fall back to a sixth-tier sect, which would reduce their resources even further.
But no one had expected such a pleasant surprise.
Wang Zhi smiled slightly and looked at Mo Yu, who was dozing off to the side.
“My sixth disciple, Mo Yu, had a significant breakthrough before the evaluation and comprehended a unique cultivation path.”
The crowd erupted in cheers.
“Little Martial Aunt is amazing!”
“She truly is the light of our sect!”
“I always knew there was something special about Little Martial Aunt.”
“Ah, I get it now. No wonder when Xuan Yin Hall targeted us, the Grandmaster secretly protected Little Martial Aunt. She’s so powerful!”
A Golden Core stage disciple looked at her and gasped.
“I can’t see through Little Martial Aunt’s cultivation anymore.”
Previously, they could see her level at a glance; she was at the beginner stage.
Mo Yu had been completely transparent to them.
But now they couldn’t see through her at all.
This could mean only two things: either she had a magical artifact hiding her cultivation, or her cultivation far surpassed theirs.
In this case, the disciples preferred to believe the latter.
“Little Martial Aunt is a prodigy.”
“Of course. Although she didn’t cultivate much before and was stuck at the beginner level, she has a Supreme Heavenly Spirit Root. Don’t forget that.”
“I bet Little Martial Aunt was always pondering that unique cultivation path and neglected her external training.”
“Yeah, that’s probably it!”
In their eyes, Little Martial Aunt was like a immortal being.
Mo Yu squinted, waved to the crowd, and floated over to Wang Zhi on her Soul-Devouring Sword, clearly indicating she wanted him to handle the crowd.
Wang Zhi chuckled and shook his head.
“Alright, from now on, our sect will expand significantly. This place will serve as our temporary base. For the next two months, you can stay here. Those ready can head to the ninth floor of the Opportunity Tower to train and join the others.”
“All disciples in seclusion will be awakened, and those training outside will be summoned back. Specific details will be communicated by the disciples in charge of each peak. Dismissed.”
As his words fell, tens of thousands of disciples dispersed, heading in all directions, their excited chatter filling the air.
Nearby, Mo Yu commented, “Master, you didn’t tell them we’ve offended all the fourth and fifthtier sects.”
Wang Zhi’s expression stiffened.
Initially, they had decided to offend those sects to gamble on a chance of survival, but it seemed unnecessary now.
With Mo Yu in the sect, they already had a treasure to protect them.
