JSCMU-Chapter 313: For Some Reason, There Is a Sense of Ominous Foreboding…

Yun Jin looked at Qin Ping with some surprise.

She had considered the possibility that Qin Ping might join Wushuang Sect.

But that would only be after she opened the secret treasury and came out alive.

Only then would she perhaps have a bit of capital to invite Qin Ping to join.

Yet now, the secret treasury hadn’t yet opened, Wushuang Sect hadn’t yet reemerged, and Qin Ping had already brought it up himself.

“You’re placing your bet awfully early. Senior Qin, aren’t you afraid of losing too tragically?” Yun Jin asked with some curiosity.

Qin Ping smiled faintly, “I only knew that it’s easy to add flowers to brocade, but difficult to offer charcoal in the snow. If one doesn’t contribute at the very beginning, when Wushuang Sect is at its most difficult stage, then when Wushuang Sect stands firm in the future, what merit could we possibly claim? If one wishes to obtain something, one must first give something. I understand this principle, Sect Master Yun.”

Qin Ping directly changed how he addressed Yun Jin.

This level of social awareness made even Tianpo exclaim internally, good heavens.

Yun Jin couldn’t help but sigh inwardly as well.

As expected of someone who had navigated the rise and fall of officialdom a thousand years ago, Qin Ping’s grasp of human nature was indeed exceptional.

For Yun Jin, him choosing to join now, versus choosing to join after Wushuang Sect had entered a stable phase, were clearly two very different concepts.

If one had to compare, then this act of offering charcoal in the snow naturally moved Yun Jin more.

“Can Senior Qin make the decision for the other dynasty cultivators of Canglan Kingdom?” Yun Jin asked.

Qin Ping nodded, “Eight or nine out of ten. If Sect Master agrees, I will head to the capital immediately and make this clear to the others.”

Yun Jin said, “That will do. Let us discuss the next steps in detail after we return from the secret realm.”

Qin Ping’s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly agreed.

From Yun Jin’s words, it seemed she intended to accept them.

That’s normal.

The four holy lands were unwilling to accept them because the Qi Luck of dynasty cultivators belonged to the nation. Even if they joined a holy land, they couldn’t help it grow in Qi Luck.

And the cultivation methods of the four holy lands all relied, to some extent, on Qi Luck.

Or rather, nearly all sects in the world relied on Qi Luck.

But Wushuang Sect was an exception.

This sect, since a thousand years ago, had never demanded Qi Luck, emphasizing instead on the personal enlightenment of the Dao.

Therefore.

Wushuang Sect and dynasty cultivators were perfectly compatible.

Qin Ping had considered all this before, but only now, after Yun Jin actually nodded, did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

“Since that’s the case, this junior will take her leave for now,” Yun Jin said.

Qin Ping hurriedly replied, “Sect Master is too polite.”

The two of them were each politely courteous to the other.

Tianpo found it boring to watch and yawned before returning to Yun Jin’s sword seal.

After parting with Qin Ping, Yun Jin’s mood was quite good.

Since she had promised to rebuild Wushuang Sect, she naturally had to strive to do it as well as possible.

The joining of dynasty cultivators like Qin Ping could clearly help her get through the initial awkward stage, and the assistance would be significant.

Once things slowly got underway…

Yun Jin thought of Tianxing Sect again.

Her original plan had been to use Tianxing Sect as a stepping stone, climbing upward bit by bit to become the fifth holy land.

However.

Plans could not keep up with changes.

Now her thinking had somewhat shifted.

In this world, for a sect to advance, the first step was registration.

Only after receiving approval and having the sect’s name entered into the jade register could it begin to share Qi Luck and advance step by step.

Previously, Yun Jin hadn’t planned to establish a sect herself, instead intending to invest great effort into rectifying Tianxing Sect and then use Tianxing Sect’s name to rise steadily, precisely for this reason.

If she were to establish a sect herself, those above would likely not easily agree to let her sect be registered.

Using Tianxing Sect’s name directly would be much simpler.

But now,

She had promised Tianpo to rebuild Wushuang Sect.

The previous Wushuang Sect didn’t compete for Qi Luck and thus had never had the concept of registration.

But this time.

Yun Jin wanted a slot. If Wushuang Sect could obtain a slot, then Yun Jin does not plan to return to Tianxing Sect. Should anyone be willing, they may follow her and join Wushuang Sect.

“Senior Tianpo,” Yun Jin suddenly asked in her mind, “the Wushuang Sect of a thousand years ago kept a low profile and avoided the world. What if I want to be high-profile?”

Tianpo was momentarily stunned, “How high-profile?”

Yun Jin raised an eyebrow, “Naturally, so that all under heaven know! I want everyone to know what contributions Wushuang Sect has made for the people of the world. I want everyone to know that Wushuang Sect is the number one sect under heaven.”

Keeping a low profile had never been Yun Jin’s manner.

Doing good deeds in secret was also not Yun Jin’s style.

If she did something good, she would make sure the whole world knew.

The entire sect of Wushuang Sect sacrificed itself to protect all living beings, how could such a matter be allowed to fade into obscurity?

She wanted these deeds to be widely spread.

She wanted Wushuang Sect to become a belief!

Tianpo was momentarily dazed.

He looked at Yun Jin and fell silent.

This little master was completely different in style from his master.

Master devoted himself solely to cultivating the Dao, ignoring worldly affairs. To him, the lower the profile, the better. Ideally with no one disturbing him as he cultivated alone in silence.

But this little master…

She didn’t seem to be the type for ascetic cultivation.

What Yun Jin was building would still be Wushuang Sect, but it would certainly not be the Wushuang Sect of the past.

After a moment of silence, Tianpo suddenly laughed.

He said, “Little master, you are the inheritor and the future sect master. You may decide these matters yourself.”

It’s been a thousand years!

It had been a thousand years since Wushuang Sect’s sacrifice, yet there were no legends of it in the world.

To say that Tianpo was completely at peace with this would be impossible.

Now that the little master wanted to bring fame to Wushuang Sect, then why not?

In any case, he found it quite exhilarating!

As he said this, Tianpo still felt a bit guilty.

Master…

You said to rebuild Wushuang Sect, but you never said what kind of Wushuang Sect it should be.

So you cannot blame us for taking some creative liberty.

“If you agree as well, senior, then I’ll really go all out,” Yun Jin said. “If we want to gain fame, the simplest method is sect ranking. In three years, when sects are reassessed, we’ll take a super sect slot in one go. Another three years, we’ll stand on equal footing with the holy lands. Another three years after that, we’ll crush them outright. How about that?”

Yun Jin spoke with great enthusiasm.

If anyone else had heard this, they would’ve definitely laughed at her as a delusional idiot. Tianpo, however, nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes, exactly like that! My Wushuang Sect is the strongest!”

“Once the secret treasury is opened, think about whether our sect has any particularly flamboyant cultivation methods. Bring all of them out. When the time comes, not only must our strength be formidable, our entrance must also be flashy enough…”

As Yun Jin spoke, Tianpo nodded repeatedly, occasionally adding comments of his own.

In an extradimensional space,

A man in white robes, bathed in blood, suddenly coughed.

“Boss, what’s wrong?” someone beside him hurriedly asked.

The man was also somewhat bewildered, “I don’t know why… I have a kind of ominous premonition…”

Yet this premonition seemed unrelated to the war here.

How strange.

Oh, right.

Come to think of it, it had been a full thousand years in the outside world.

He wondered whether Tianpo had found an inheritor.

His inheritor should be like him, composed, detached, with nothing weighing on their mind, right?

Just imagining it made him feel a bit expectant.
