Chapter 218: The Crisis of the Ancient Domain! Lu Changsheng Leads 10 Great Divine Power Martial Artists Back!_3
Three hundred million Spirit Stones—this is an astonishing number.
However, when stretched over a millennium, it doesn't seem so significant anymore.
It's merely three hundred thousand Spirit Stones per year.
If one were to extract Spirit Stones at all costs,
then it would even be possible to mine several million Spirit Stones annually.
But in a few years, or perhaps a decade, the Spirit Stone Mine could be completely depleted.
By then, there would no longer be a stable income of Spirit Stones.
The greatest advantage of a Spirit Stone Mine is its stability!
"Earning three hundred thousand Spirit Stones steadily each year is actually quite good, especially since this is just a small-scale Spirit Stone Mine."
"If it were a medium, large, or even super-large Spirit Stone Mine, the annual yield would undoubtedly be an astronomical figure."
"But relying on this small-scale Spirit Stone Mine to accumulate enough Spirit Stones in a short amount of time to buy Heavenly Spirit Water and evolve my remaining two Divine Skills is somewhat unrealistic."
"This Spirit Stone Mine can only serve as the foundation of the Holy Land Heavenly Sect…"
In an instant, Lu Changsheng considered many possibilities.
His Spiritual Black Hole alone required one hundred drops of Heavenly Spirit Water.
This means that evolving Five Elements Decomposition and Four Symbols Prison into Infinite Divine Power will require even more Heavenly Spirit Water.
Depending solely on this small-scale Spirit Stone Mine is definitely not enough.
However, that is a matter for the future.
The priority remains establishing the Holy Land Heavenly Sect, then dispatching its disciples to take control of the Spirit Stone Mine and develop it gradually.
With that thought, Lu Changsheng departed.
Establishing the Holy Land Heavenly Sect is not an easy task.
The first challenge is choosing the location for the Sect.
This is of utmost importance.
Many Sects are actually established outside cities.
After all, the area outside Heavenly Saint City is much more expansive.
Inside Heavenly Saint City, the population is dense and the environment chaotic, making it difficult to find a large enough area suitable for building a mountain gate.
However, the areas outside the city do not seem particularly ideal either.
"It can't be too far from Heavenly Saint City, or we'll lose access to crucial intelligence within the city."
"But it also can't be too close. If it's too close, we might as well just establish the mountain gate inside Heavenly Saint City."
"The ideal distance would be within one hundred li."
Within a range of one hundred li, Lu Changsheng searched extensively.
But he couldn't find a particularly suitable location to establish the mountain gate.
It didn't matter.
If there's no suitable place, then I'll create one myself.
Lu Changsheng is already a Martial Venerable.
Moving mountains, redirecting rivers, summoning wind and rain—these are mere trifles to Lu Changsheng.
Thus, Lu Changsheng employed his mental faculties, Laws, and other means.
He forcibly transformed a location fifty li from Heavenly Saint City by altering the terrain, relocating mountain peaks, and essentially "creating" a mountain gate.
He then invited Golden Core True Masters to arrange formations and construct the mountain gate.
In about twenty days, the mountain gate was completed.
The Holy Land Heavenly Sect now had its mountain gate!
Moreover, quite a few Divine Power Realm martial artists expressed their willingness to become Supreme Elders of the Holy Land Heavenly Sect.
But Lu Changsheng continued to wait.
There were still about ten days left before the one-month deadline.
He wanted to see if any Golden Core True Masters would be willing to join the Holy Land Heavenly Sect as Supreme Elders.
In fact, Lu Changsheng had already made plans.
If a Golden Core True Master joined the Holy Land Heavenly Sect, they could even establish an Immortal Dao Lineage within the Sect, transforming it into a Sect that practices Immortal Martial Dual Cultivation.
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and the one-month deadline finally arrived.
Within the Holy Land Heavenly Sect.
Lu Changsheng gazed at the figures gathered below.
After one month, this was the final count of Divine Power Martial Artists.
Thirteen Divine Power Martial Artists were willing to join the Holy Land Heavenly Sect and serve as Supreme Elders!
The number was slightly on the smaller side.
But it was within Lu Changsheng's expectations.
"Elders, you are all now Supreme Elders of the Holy Land Heavenly Sect. In fact, I am also a Supreme Elder."
"However, it's not enough for us to just have Supreme Elders. We need disciples, ordinary elders, and more martial artists."
"It's too late to recruit disciples now. I plan to return to the Ancient Domain Heavenly Sect and bring some people here to bolster the Holy Land Heavenly Sect."
"What are your thoughts?"
Lu Changsheng addressed the thirteen Divine Power Martial Artists.
One month, and only thirteen Divine Power Martial Artists.
The Golden Core True Master Lu Changsheng had hoped for had not joined the Holy Land Heavenly Sect.
"You wish to return to the Ancient Domain Heavenly Sect?"
The thirteen Divine Power Martial Artists, now Supreme Elders of the Holy Land Heavenly Sect, couldn't help but feel a stir in their hearts.
They weren't particularly surprised, though.
During this period, Lu Changsheng had already informed them of the relationship between the Holy Land Heavenly Sect and the Ancient Domain Heavenly Sect.
The two were connected but not subordinate.
It was akin to the relationship between the North Region Heavenly Sect and the Ancient Domain Heavenly Sect.
The three great Heavenly Sects—North Region Heavenly Sect, Ancient Domain Heavenly Sect, and Holy Land Heavenly Sect—shared the same origins and Dao but operated independently.
"Lu Zun, we are now also Supreme Elders of the Holy Land Heavenly Sect and share its lineage with the Ancient Domain Heavenly Sect. Since you plan to return to the Ancient Domain Heavenly Sect, may we accompany you?"
"Indeed, we'd like to see for ourselves what kind of place produced someone like Lu Zun."
"Lu Zun, would that be convenient?"
These Supreme Elders knew Lu Changsheng's character—he was straightforward and wouldn't take offense easily.
Now that they were Supreme Elders of the Holy Land Heavenly Sect, their fates were closely tied to the Sect's fortunes.
Regarding the Ancient Domain Heavenly Sect, Lu Changsheng naturally wouldn't hide anything from them.
"You all wish to visit the Ancient Domain Heavenly Sect?"
"No problem. However, the Holy Land Heavenly Sect has just been established and cannot be left unattended."
