68: Expand the sect and summon the Great Emperor

"Phew, I finally reached Peak Great Emperor."

Feeling the increase in power, Jiang Chen let out a soft breath, his face covered in smiles.

His current strength was simply worlds apart from when he first advanced to First Level Great Emperor.

With the augmentation of the Indestructible War Body, his power increased manifold.

If he were to fight Li Big Saber again, he feared that a single mighty slap would make Li Big Saber instantly perish.

"Sect Master, it's time for a massage and relaxation!!"

While Jiang Chen was marveling at his own strength.

Liu Shu carried the tea set, smiling gently as she walked up to Jiang Chen.

"Oh? It’s Xiao Shu. This Sect Master has something to take care of. Wait here for a moment; This Sect Master will be right back."

Jiang Chen glanced at Liu Shu, then vanished from the chair.

In the system backpack, the Expansion Card, spiritual qi ancestral vein, and Great Emperor Summoning Card had not been used yet.

He had to deal with all these items before he could enjoy himself.

After all, sect matters were the priority; he couldn't put them aside just for enjoyment.

Qingtian Sect, above the plaza.

Jiang Chen took out five hundred spiritual qi ancestral veins and tossed them into various corners of the Qingtian Sect.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

Hundreds of dragon-shaped phantoms formed by spiritual qi let out earth-shattering roars and plunged into different areas.

The spiritual qi throughout the entire Qingtian Sect underwent another massive change, becoming even denser than before.

Next, he had the system use the Sect Expansion Card as well.

"Boom!"

As soon as the Sect Expansion Card was used, the entire Mountain Gate of the Qingtian Sect began to rumble.

The distance between all the buildings visibly and rapidly stretched out.

Before long, the entire Qingtian Sect had increased in size by exactly ten times.

"Huh, why does the sect seem to have gotten bigger?"

"It's not just bigger, the spiritual qi seems much denser than before."

"Hiss, it's true! What exactly is going on?"

The Qingtian Sect disciples rushing between the Time Pagoda and the Trial Pagoda immediately noticed the change.

They were all full of doubt as they looked around.

Because normally, they could walk to the Time Pagoda or the Trial Pagoda in two minutes.

But now, they had walked for a full two and a half minutes and still hadn't arrived; the distance had grown much longer.

Moreover, the sect's spiritual qi had also become much denser than before, which was truly strange.

"Stop standing around in a daze. Go do what you're supposed to be doing."

Just then, Li Big Saber led Li Erniu and walked next to the Time Pagoda.

Seeing these disciples pause to look around, he couldn't help but speak up.

He naturally knew that these changes were Jiang Chen's handiwork, but as the Great Elder, there was no need to explain certain things to the disciples.

"Yes, Great Elder!!"

The Qingtian Sect disciples between the two pagodas respectfully saluted Li Big Saber.

They then quickly walked toward their respective destinations.

Although they were curious about the changes in the Qingtian Sect, since Li Big Saber had spoken, they couldn't stay put.

A group of Qingtian Sect disciples preparing to enter the Time Pagoda.

As they passed Li Big Saber and Li Erniu, they secretly sized up Li Erniu next to him.

Because the blue robe worn by Li Erniu, which represented an Inner Sect Disciple, was simply too dazzling.

The Qingtian Sect only had three Inner Sect Disciples in total; the sudden addition of a new one was even more intriguing than the sect's physical changes.

After the group entered the Time Pagoda.

The events outside quickly spread among all the disciples inside.

"Sect Breaking News! Sect Breaking News!"

"Our Qingtian Sect has gotten much bigger, seven or eight times larger than before."

"Also, a new Inner Sect Disciple is following the Great Elder. Our Qingtian Sect now has four Inner Sect Disciples."

The group spread the news about the sect expanding and about Li Erniu becoming an Inner Sect Disciple.

As for the spiritual qi becoming denser, they didn't even need to mention it.

Those inside the Time Pagoda could feel it themselves; they were just a step slower than those outside.

"Holy crap, the sect can actually get bigger? This is the first time I've heard of that."

"Yeah, it's not just adding a few buildings; the entire sect expanded intact. It's truly miraculous."

"Miraculous my ass! Does our Qingtian Sect lack miraculous things? We should be focusing on that new Inner Sect Disciple."

"Right, right! Who exactly is this new Inner Sect Disciple? Our Qingtian Sect's Disciple Recruitment Assembly is over, so how did he manage to get in?"

"Sigh, who knows? Maybe he's just someone with connections."

The Qingtian Sect Outer Sect Disciples cultivating in the Time Pagoda were secretly guessing Li Erniu's identity.

Meanwhile, some quick-witted disciples.

had already prepared small gifts to use to build a good relationship when they ran into Li Erniu.

After all, the Qingtian Sect only had four Inner Sect Disciples.

Although they all cultivated in the Time Pagoda, their talents differed, meaning their speed of breakthrough was completely different.

The cultivation of the Inner Sect Disciples would be much higher than theirs, and their combat power much stronger.

Take Wu Yan and Feng Xiaoxiao, for example.

Their cultivation when they entered the sect was similar to some of them.

But after this period of cultivation, they were already close to surpassing them by an entire Major Realm, and their combat power was even more unfathomable.

Therefore, building good relations was very necessary.

If they encountered sect missions or trials outside later, having a high-cultivation Inner Sect Disciple protecting them was equivalent to having an extra life.

"Brother Wang Ba, when we run into that new Inner Sect Senior Brother, let's go introduce ourselves and make friends."

In a certain corner of the Time Pagoda.

Kun Kun leaned close to Wang Ba, who was cultivating with his eyes closed, and spoke.

Hearing Kun Kun's voice.

Wang Ba opened his eyes and said two words expressionlessly.

"Get lost!"

This Kun Kun was driving him crazy.

No matter how much he showed his dislike for Kun Kun, the guy stuck to him like glue.

He followed him everywhere, occasionally leaning in to chat.

If he didn't say anything, Kun Kun could chatter next to him all day, making it impossible to focus on cultivation.

"Alright! Hehe, I'll scram, I'll scram."

Seeing that Wang Ba had acknowledged him.

Kun Kun looked happy and sat down next to Wang Ba to begin meditating and cultivating.

He showed no sign of anger whatsoever.

"Sigh, what sin did I commit?"

Looking at Kun Kun, who was like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water, Wang Ba couldn't help but sigh.

Wu Yan and Feng Xiaoxiao, who were also cultivating in the Time Pagoda.

Heard the news but remained emotionally unmoved, simply continuing their closed-eye cultivation.

They weren't like those Outer Sect Disciples, chatting about meaningless gossip.

Nor did they need to intentionally build relationships with the new Inner Sect Disciple; everything was fine as long as they let fate decide.

On the Qingtian Sect plaza.

Two middle-aged men with imposing expressions appeared before Jiang Chen.

These were the two great emperor peak summoning cards he had just used.

Aside from the three true immortal summoning cards, he planned to summon all the other summoning cards.

"Subordinate, Cao Second Dog!!"

"Subordinate, Zhu Heizi, greets the Sect Master!!"

The two respectfully bowed toward Jiang Chen.

"Mm, dispense with the formalities."

Jiang Chen nodded helplessly.

He was already immune to the names of these Subordinates.

Although he didn't know which village the system summoned these Great Emperors from, as long as they had the strength of Peak Great Emperor, their names weren't important.

As peak powerhouses of the Canglan Continent, no one would dare mock their names; they would only praise their parents for being simple and down-to-earth enough to give them such rustic names.
