Chapter 312: Chapter 305: Easy to provoke Yama, tough to deal with the little ghosts!_2

Wang Zijia wasn’t left waiting for long, or it could be said that as soon as the people at the Secular Courtyard had sent out their notice, someone was waiting for Wang Zijia to show up.

After a short while, a middle-aged man walked out from a corner of the hall. He was in his forties, of medium build, with an ordinary face, and he was at the peak of his sacrificial wine cultivation.

"I am Li Xuehai, I’ve heard about you, Brother Wang!" the middle-aged man greeted Wang Zijia with respect.

"Greetings, Brother Li!" Wang Zijia replied with an expressionless manner.

"Brother Wang, your visit to the Secular Courtyard is unanticipated." Li Xuehai gave a warm smile and gestured towards Wang Zijia, saying, "Please, this way!"

The two men entered the adjacent room through a side door of the hall, went upstairs and ended up in Li Xuehai’s room, settling down in front of a tea table for guests.

Li Xuehai composedly brewed a cup of tea for Wang Zijia, who, for his part, kept his calm without urging for conversation.

The two casually chatted, slowly savoring their tea as if they were old friends.

After a while, Wang Zijia figured, if he didn’t take action, the other person would probably play dumb all day with him, and he didn’t have the time for that.

Wang Zijia lifted his teacup, gently took a sip, then found the words to say, "Brother Li, why are the procedures for my opening and founding of a clan like this?"

Li Xuehai paused his tea-drinking movement and raised his eyebrows, saying, "Oh, do you have any doubts? Or perhaps we have done something wrong?"

As he spoke, he put down his teacup and summoned a light screen, which contained the notice Wang Zijia had received today.

"If you think there’s something we in the Secular Courtyard should have done differently, do tell us. If it is indeed the case, I’ll certainly lecture the disciples down below."

Wang Zijia took a look at the light screen in front of him, his eyes slightly narrowed. He looked at Li Xuehai, who wore a mild smile. Since the conversation had come to this point, he simply didn’t want to pretend anymore, and stated directly,

"Brother Li, is this your idea? Or is it from those above in the Yue family?"

Li Xuehai picked up his teacup again, took a gentle sip, and calmly said, "Is there a difference?"

Yes, for Wang Zijia, whether someone ordered it or it was the initiative of subordinates trying to be opportunistic, even though the likelihood of opportunism was very high, there was no difference to him.

The fact was that the Yue family didn’t get along with him in such a vast Sect with many factions. If someone was cozying up to him, then there must certainly be factions leaning towards the Yue family.

"Hmm, I see, you really made a strong impression on me!" Wang Zijia squinted his eyes, equally lifting his teacup, and gently sipping his tea.

"Haha ..."

Li Xuehai, hearing Wang Zijia’s words laden with profound implications, laughed out loud as if he had heard a hilarious joke.

Wang Zijia silently watched without interrupting.

Li Xuehai laughed for a moment before he seemed to catch his breath, saying, "Brother Wang, you must not believe that you genuinely have the potential of the disciples of the outer Sect, just because you have been praised to be on par with them."

Wang Zijia looked at him without giving any indication of replying.

Li Xuehai looked at Wang Zijia as if he were staring at a ridiculous joke, saying, "In this vast Wanyu Outer Sect, not to mention inheriting from the Perfected, there are at least a dozen of us who have inherited incomplete God Monarch legacies."

"You should understand one thing, even if you now ignore your potential and directly absorb all the inheritances by initiation, you’d be lucky to become a Perfected, or even enter the latter stage of a Perfected, but you would only be a fake Perfected."

"There have been very few instances in history of anyone succeeding by inheriting someone else’s Dao cultivation. The status of the Perfected may seem like quite a big deal in our Outer Sect, but when you really look at it, it’s nothing more than the status of an Apprentice of the Wanyu Sect!"

"As for the Yue family, even if they are doing poorly, they are still a major inner gate clan with a God Monarch as their ancestor, and there are dozens of Great Cultivators in the Perfected realm among them."

"What do you think, Brother Wang, you earned a bit of fame from the great competition. What can you achieve?"

"Impressive indeed!"

"Heh, you have been famous in the Outer Sect for half a year, but has any Inner Gate Clan come to court you? Who’s taking you seriously, except your Device and Symbol Institutes?"

"Even the Device and Symbol Institutes are merely praising you to enhance their own fame. You’ve been flattered once, and you really think you’re on an equal footing with the others."

"You questioned whose idea this was? Brother, you really dare to imagine. Do you think that your trivial matter would be remembered and given orders by Old Ancestor Yue himself?"

Li Xuehai spoke a lot in one breath, bringing a tone of ridicule and showing no hesitation about falling out with Wang Zijia.

"A person should have some self-awareness. Brother, if you are clear-headed, it’s better to think about how to relinquish your right to establish your channel!"

Clear enough, he was firmly siding with the Yue Family.

And such a lack of reservation indicated a very urgent need. Considering his level of cultivation, he was most likely eying the rank of Perfected.

"Actually, my initiation ceremony is not that crucial, a Perfected can perform it as well. After such a lecture from Senior Brother..."

At this point, Wang Zijia paused as he was sipping tea. With slightly narrowed eyes, he looked at Li Xuehai, who was smiling mildly at him, and flashed a brilliant smile of his own. Saying,

"I’m rather stubborn, I think I’ll proceed with the ceremony after all!"

Li Xuehai’s smile froze, he looked at Wang Zijia with cold eyes. Upon exchanging glances, Wang Zijia continued,

"Since Senior Brother follows the rules, I have nothing to say. On this visit to the Secular Courtyard, I don’t plan to make a second trip, so could you please show me the map of the territory according to the rules?"

Li Xuehai’s eyes emitted a cold light as he looked at Wang Zijia forming the words, "Did Junior Brother make up his mind? Once you choose your territory, there will be No Regretting."

"Thank you for your kind reminder, Senior Brother!" Wang Zijia blandly put down his teacup, looking at the other man and saying, "After such a lecture from Senior Brother, how could I not be clear?"

"Clack!"

"Good! You’re indeed a Dao Child who has condensed a Demon Body!" Li Xuehai placed the teacup on the table with a decisive sound, and casually pointed out a gigantic light screen amidst his cold statement.

On the light screen, a corner of the Wanyu Sect geography map emerged.

Many spots were lit up densely across the perimeter of the entire Sect area.

"Now you can make your choice, Junior Brother. I must remind you, since you haven’t performed the initiation task, you can build it yourself according to the rules. But the Channel Stabilizing Device, as well as scheduling the Sect’s construction crew, still has to wait," Li Xuehai spoke coldly.

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother. I think choosing a plot and arranging some flora wouldn’t be too bad, it’ll be lively!" Wang Zijia retorted with a cold smirk.

At this moment, the temperature in the room was nearing freezing point, and both people did not hold back any reservations.

Wang Zijia turned his gaze to the map, first eliminating the east and south. These two directions were close to the territories of the Flying Immortals and Daqian and are safer due to their geographical location, hence lots of peripheral clans gathered there.

If Wang Zijia chose to settle in their clan territories, few families would choose to relocate. Instead, they would select to join the channel directly for compensation. This would be like making a fortune through demolition.

Most others would do this for safety’s sake.

However, Wang Zijia didn’t prefer that. These two directions were too inland and too safe, which would hinder his plan.

His initiation was not meant for breeding!

He first set his gaze at the north. Even though this area was close to the Devil Gate, according to the rules of initiation, he was not establishing on the edge of the Wanyu Sect territory, but at the furthest edge of all the sect’s channels.

There was still a great distance between this and the northern Devil Gate, having many kingdoms and dynasties between them.

Only the western Demon Forest directly bordered the Sect’s peripheral families, and even some areas directly bordered the newly constructed channel buildings. In recent years, the Sect has been developing in this direction.

All building complexes established by the various channels scattered sparsely along the western boundary. Finally, a small newly established channel was embedded in a vast primeval forest.

Some bold families resided bustlingly around them. The rest was a huge primeval forest riddled with all kinds of demons.

In such a place, there was no need for demolition compensation, but it was tantamount to reclaiming the land.

Even though the areas that can be established as channels have been cleared once by the pioneer team, they only removed some big demons and devils.

For Wang Zijia, such an environment couldn’t be any better.

After all, his initiation was for the purpose of obtaining resources!!!
