Chapter 322: Chapter 321: Founding a Sect

"Senior Brother."

"Senior Brother, you’re back."

"Greetings, Master."

When Zhong Lin walked into his palace, he hadn’t expected it to be empty but rather bustling with activity.

Long Zhao, Shi Yunyi, and Gu Chen were all here, and judging by their expressions, they got along quite well.

"Why has everyone gathered here?" Zhong Lin asked with a smile.

"Disciple came to seek some cultivation guidance from Uncle Long Zhao, Master, have a look."

Gu Chen was all excitement, and with a thought, a dragon-shaped aura circulated around him.

"This is the Cloud Walking Palm Technique taught to me by Uncle Long Zhao, executed as the Divine Dragon walks among clouds without rain, dense and unbreakable."

Zhong Lin, possessing some eye power, immediately recognized the intricacy of this hand skill, at least an Earth Level Martial Arts.

Indeed, Long Zhao still had many good things. As expected of a disciple of the Sea Suppressing Sect, even plucking a single hair from him was thicker than an ordinary martial artist’s waist.

Zhong Lin nodded and said, "Not bad, be sure to practice diligently in the future, do not disappoint your Uncle Long Zhao’s expectations."

"Yes."

Zhong Lin then turned his gaze to Shi Yunyi, curious, "Why are you out today?"

Shi Yunyi was a typical martial arts fanatic, whose usual joy was practicing swordsmanship, and would generally not come out if unnecessary.

Shi Yunyi’s face was cool as he said, "Senior Brother, my Sword Intent has reached fifty percent."

Zhong Lin raised an eyebrow, delight evident as he looked at Shi Yunyi.

"Hahaha, not bad, not bad. I’ll write a letter for you, you can go yourself, Real Master Liufeng shouldn’t make things difficult for you."

"Senior Brother, I don’t want to return to the Seven Stars Sect."

Shi Yunyi pursed his lips, looking a bit glum.

"... Very well, then I will personally teach you. Although it lacks some conceptions, it shouldn’t be too lacking with your comprehension."

Shi Yunyi had a characteristic that Zhong Lin both loved and hated; he was deeply sentimental.

Previously, for the sake of sentimental ties, he wished to coexist with the Seven Stars Sect, only to be pulled back later.

Now, though separated from the Seven Stars Sect, the feelings remained, and he felt a bit guilty.

This was why he was unwilling to return to the Seven Stars Sect.

Zhong Lin didn’t hesitate, reached out to touch Shi Yunyi’s brow, and a divine thought poured in, containing the cultivation technique for the "Sword Technique" along with full-level comprehension of cultivating it.

Of course, one’s junior brother should be given the best. Previously lacking that ability, but now, having opened his Soul Palace, strengthening his Divine Soul, transmitting divine thoughts was effortless.

In a moment, Shi Yunyi felt a torrent of overwhelming information filling his mind, causing him a certain sense of aching and powerlessness.

This feeling came quickly and left quickly. When he sensed the full-level cultivation experience etched in his mind, he was utterly shocked, looking at Zhong Lin as if he were an Immortal.

The gap between my Senior Brother and me is so vast, to think my self-assumed exceptional comprehension pales. Senior Brother, in just a few months, has thoroughly grasped a Heavenly Level Swordsmanship. Truly a divine person.

"Thank you, Senior Brother."

"We’re brothers, no need for thanks, off you go!" Zhong Lin said smilingly.

After sending Shi Yunyi and Gu Chen off, only Long Zhao remained in the palace.

"Master once told me, dragons do not dwell with snakes, and also said, those with great fortune will be surrounded by impressive talents. Senior Brother is indeed extraordinary. Otherwise, how could exceptional talents like Shi Yunyi and Gu Chen emerge from a small place like Luoxing Island?

Shi Yunyi, though barely of age, has comprehended fifty percent of Sword Intent. Though slightly weak in cultivation, it is purely due to a lack of resources. Such a person would be a true disciple seed even in the former Sea Suppressing Sect.

Not to mention Gu Chen, with a heart as pure as a child, remarkable aptitude, and determination as firm as iron.

With these two, along with Senior Brother’s great fortune, the Sword Cauldron Sect can hardly avoid soaring."

Long Zhao looked on with undisguised envy, wishing they could all join the Sea Suppressing Sect to help rebuild it.

Zhong Lin gave Long Zhao a peculiar look, for indeed, Long Zhao’s eye power was not bad, just only half right.

There is a person of great fortune, but it is Gu Chen, who might even be a child of destiny.

Shi Yunyi does indeed have astonishing comprehension and transcendent aptitude, but he might be a descendant of the legendary Sin Blood.

Luckily, the Sea Suppressing Sect is already destroyed; otherwise, if these two joined, it would be doomed to perish even if it wouldn’t otherwise.

One is practically a walking calamity, bringing disaster wherever he goes.

The other is targeted by the entire Qingyuan World, practically an enemy to the world.

For now, they are like hidden dragons submerged, and Luoxing Island is just a starter village. However, Zhong Lin believes the two will undoubtedly cause major upheavals in the future.

As for Zhong Lin, he is no person of great fortune, he’s just a cheater.

Zhong Lin patted Long Zhao’s shoulder and casually said, "Don’t easily label people in the future, trust me, you’re not cut out for it."

"Uh?"

...

The third day of the eighth month.

In the Gengzi Year, Bingxu Month, Dinghai Day, auspicious for travel, business openings, and relocation, avoid weddings and groundbreaking activities.

On this day, if one stood high in the sky and looked down, you’d see the entire crowd of Luoxing Islands converging to one spot.

"Qingfeng Sect presents three stalks of thousand-year spiritual medicine and ten thousand spirit stones to celebrate the great occasion of Sword Cauldron Sect’s founding."

"Spirit Tree Sect presents three pieces of ten-thousand-year spiritual wood, five Qilin Flowers, and ten thousand spirit stones to celebrate the great occasion of Sword Cauldron Sect’s founding."

"Fuyun Valley presents ten boxes of ore and a hundred Divine Weapons to celebrate the great occasion of Sword Cauldron Sect’s founding."

Voices of congratulations rose from all directions, as those who came to celebrate stepped forward one by one to present gifts.

Spirit Stones, Spiritual Medicine, Spiritual Materials, Ores, Divine Weapons, Cultivation Techniques...

A plethora of rare items dazzled onlookers.

Since Zhong Lin defeated Feng Lan Sword Lord with a punch, establishing himself as the strongest on Luoxing Island, other factions from various islands willingly came to congratulate and offer lavish gifts.

Not to mention Zhong Lin is currently the only Sixth Grade Alchemist on the islands, pivotal to their future Martial Arts journey, so how dare they slack off?

"Congratulations, Sect Master Yu."

"Hahaha, many thanks, please come in."

"Sect Master Yu, I am an Elder from Emerald Lake. Our Sect Master is currently in closed cultivation to heal and cannot come. Please, Sect Master Yu, do not take offense."

"That’s alright, just a trivial matter, please come in."

"Greetings, Sect Master Yu, I am the Sect Master of Li Yang Cave Heaven, Shi Yan. I hope our sects can have much exchange in the future."

"Hahaha, Sect Master Shi, indeed, please come in."

Yu Jinglei, although only at the Spiritual Origin Realm, was unphased as Sect Master, chatting amiably with the representatives and elders of these forces who came to congratulate him.

He knew his greatest confidence came from Zhong Lin, for as long as Zhong Lin was present, even if Sword Cauldron Sect had just a handful of members, it remained the strongest sect on Luoxing Island.
