formidable.For a moment.>The priest's heart was also pounding with excitement.In the middle of the battlefield, Shen Changqing was still fighting against Maelstrom.Although Meilba is not at the level...Main Hall.

All elders, all cultivators of the elder rank, are now gathered here.

When they met, they just nodded at each other as a greeting.

For Tianzong, many elders don't have much interaction with each other. They each have their own small circles, and it is difficult for cultivators outside of these circles to integrate in.

"Master of the Annihilation Temple, Sect Master summoned us here today. Could it be something important"

Then, Yu Tian asked in a deep voice.

When Zhan Sheng heard this, he shook his head slightly: "I'm like the Lord of Yutian Palace, I just received a message from the Sect Master, and there isn't much information."

Upon seeing this.

Yu Tian could only suppress the curiosity in his heart.

Although he was a sixth-rank Dao soldier, among the many Dao soldiers under Chen Changqing, his strength was considered the weakest.

Not to mention the Immortal Weapon Qingyi who often accompanies Shen Changqing, even compared to Wan Dao Lao, a cultivator of the twelfth rank, there is no comparison.

However.

In the eyes of Yu Tian.

Although Zhan Sheng wasn't the strongest among the many Dao Soldiers, he was the one who had followed Chen Changqing for the longest time.

By the standards of other cultivators, he was practically a confidant.

Some things.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Not knowing something yourself doesn't mean the other person doesn't know it.

Originally.

Although Yutian still wanted to glean some information from the other party, it now seemed unlikely that he would be successful.

>

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Then, his gaze fell upon the other hall masters.

Tianzong Shù Diàn.

All the positions of the hall masters are basically controlled by Dao soldiers.

Only a few places were unaffected by the army's influence.

For example, the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas.

"I wonder when I'll truly be promoted to the seventh rank!"

Yu Tian sighed inwardly.

Path-troopers' advancement is difficult. To truly advance, one must either be nourished by the flesh and blood of a powerful being, or have a powerful being nurture them with their own strength, only then is true advancement possible.

Besides that.

Here is the text translated into English: Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

... It's like obtaining a priceless treasure, akin to a congenital spirit embryo.

It's a pity.

No matter what the possibility, truly wanting to be promoted isn't that simple.

Back then, Yitian had a detached attitude towards promotion to the seventh rank. He would ascend if he could, and wouldn't mind if he couldn't.

But now it's different.

Having been by Chen Changqing's side, he witnessed many top-tier powerful Dao soldiers.

In comparison, one feels incredibly small.

>

If there was a chance for promotion, Yutian would not want to miss it.

It's a pity that there are no opportunities for promotion at the moment.

When he was lost in thought, a lone figure suddenly appeared on the empty main seat - a long, green silhouette.

>

Having seen this.

Many elders stood up to pay their respects.

“I greet the Lord of the Sect.”

"Your Excellencies, please be seated."

"Master Xie!"

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Then the elders all returned to their seats.

Chen Changqing, seated at the head of the assembly, took in the expressions of all the elders present.

Today, the number of elders and above among Tianzong's cultivators is not large. Aside from Dao Bing transforming into shape to serve as hall masters, the remaining positions are filled by a group of cultivators selected from the Tianwu clan to serve as elders.

As for the disciples of the sect, none have advanced to a higher level at present.

This is also quite normal.

At the beginning, the disciples who joined Tianzong were not strong in strength. Most of them were at the level of entering saints, and some hadn't even entered saints yet.

Here is the translation:

The strongest one, at best, just barely entered the realm of gods.

With such strength, it is impossible to grow to the position of elder within just a few years.

Besides.

To become a head elder of the sect, one must not only possess the corresponding strength but also make significant contributions to the sect.

If either one fails to meet the standard, they cannot become an elder of the sect.

Here's the translation:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

After all, once someone becomes an elder, they are equivalent to becoming a high-ranking member of the Heavenly Sect. Every word and deed they make could have a significant impact on the sect. If we were to arbitrarily promote people, then the Heavenly Sect would be close to annihilation.

> On the other side.

Under the gaze of his profound and ancient eyes, all the cultivators present were struck silent. Their calm expressions put immense pressure on them.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Since the founding of Tianzong, this seat has rarely had time to manage it. The prosperity of the sect is entirely due to your efforts."

The calm words echoed through the hall, every face a mask of solemn gravity.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

That's all for the introductions.

Chen Changqing glanced down at Pu Zong: "Elder Pu, how many races now belong to the Tianzong"

"Reporting to the Sect Master, there are currently fifty-three races affiliated with our sect. All of them are weak races without a divine realm expert."

Puyi answered without hesitation.

Upon hearing this.

Chen Changqing nodded faintly.

Fifty-three races.

Judging from the quantity, it seems to be quite a lot already.

But he understood.

Fifty-three races are all weak races. In terms of foundation and strength, they are incomparable to the strong races. Even if ten or twenty weak races were combined, they might not be able to match a single powerful race with a deity overseeing it.

Therefore, it can be seen.

How weak is the weak race, after all.

"How many creatures are there in total across the Fifty-Three Tribes"

“There are approximately 50 billion creatures in total from the Fifty-Three Tribes.”

"Five billion..."

Chen Changqing's face was calm and impassive.

Five billion living beings, that number is definitely not a lot.

On average, a race has less than 10 billion individuals.

Then.

Shen Changqing asked, "With five billion living beings, how many have their faith completely belonging to the Heavenly Sect, available for disciples to exchange"

>“Five billion souls, the number of souls that the sect can exchange for is probably about one billion.”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Puzong replied truthfully.

Although Tianzong took control of 5 billion souls, it's impossible for all their faith to be used by the sect disciples. The vast majority of soul faith belongs to the current Sect Master.

To have billions left over is already quite good.

...That is correct.

Chen Changqing also understood this very well.

Although four billion beings worshipped him, it didn't have much effect on him, after all, his true focus was not Shinto, but Xian Dao.

Even with abundant spiritual beliefs, it's difficult for them to significantly change his abilities.

But.

That said.

But Chong Qing didn't have any thoughts about bringing out his own beliefs.

Once this is done, it will inevitably cause unnecessary suspicion.

Therefore.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

Should belief in spirits exist, or should it continue to exist

As soon as he thought of this.

Shen Changqing looked at Pu Zong and said, "One billion living beings are too few for the growth of the sect. Not to mention opening the mountain gate again in the future to recruit disciples, even just the current three thousand disciples, one billion living beings are not enough."

The Swordsman

This seat requires the Heavenly Sect to subdue more races and provide the sect with more faith power.

That's all I have to say on that.

He looked at the other cultivators and said calmly, "Since Tianzong was founded, there have been several years, with 3,000 disciples in the sect. But cultivating alone will ultimately not be enough to become a true powerhouse."

From now on, the sect will fully mobilize its efforts to gather intelligence from all races across the heavens. It will search for suitable target species while simultaneously, the Hall of War Merit will issue corresponding missions, providing disciples with opportunities for training and gaining war merit.

This matter, the Patriarch of the Zanshen Temple needs to handle properly!

“I obey the order of the clan!”

Zhan Sheng stood up and accepted the order.

Sheng Changqing added, "Furthermore, the divine city was established but currently has no cultivators residing within. If this continues, there won't be much change to the divine city in the long run. Therefore, we need to contact various powers and chambers of commerce from the Ancient Continent and invite them to settle in the divine city."

"As for matters here, let Elder Pu handle them!"

Finally.

Changqing's gaze had fallen upon Pu Zong.

The other party was once the chancellor of the Tianwu Imperial Dynasty, so they are much more skilled at this kind of thing than others. It would be most appropriate for them to do this.

Here's the English translation, keeping the HTML tags:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

On hearing this.

Puyi also rose to his feet and accepted the order.

Then.

Chen Changqing said, "The growth of the sect cannot be limited to three thousand disciples. In two years, the mountain gate will reopen, recruiting disciples from all heavens. From then on, the mountain gate will open once every ten years. All those who are destined can enter Tiānzong."

After this, Elder Qiu became the protector elder. All matters concerning the recruitment of disciples were handled by Elder Qiu with full authority.

"Yes!"

Here is the text translated into English:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Qiu Xing's spirit lifted, and he replied loudly.

Although he was already a Heavenly Sect Elder, becoming the Guardian Sect Elder was completely different from before.

The former holds the title of protecting the sect, and is in charge of recruiting disciples. They have already grasped real power.

In comparison.

Although the position of elder existed, it mostly held little actual power. They simply occupied the position and received their corresponding salary.

“Moreover, the time for the first batch of disciples to enter the mountain gate is not short. Two years later, when the mountain gate opens, a sect competition will be held. As long as they can rank in the top hundred, they will be rewarded with military merit.”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

If one can be among the top twenty, they may enter the sect of each elder and be promoted to an inner disciple.

I am unaware of this matter. What do you esteemed elders think

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Chen Changqing spoke.

He had already thought about the idea of a grand competition within their sect.

Building up a military behind closed doors is not advisable.

If all disciples only practiced asceticism and seclusion, in the long run, the sect would surely become stagnant and lack significant achievements.

When Chen Changqing returned to Tianzong this time, he had already noticed the problem.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Compared to the former Candle Sect and Ziyun Holy Land, Heaven Sect is now too quiet. It's so quiet that there isn't any competition at all.

As a newly established sect, it lacked any trace of youthful vitality.

Therefore.

Sichen Changqing established the sect grand competition in order to change this pattern.

He believes.

As soon as news of the grand competition spreads, it will surely excite the disciples of the sect.

Moreover, not to mention the top twenty disciples who could be accepted under the tutelage of the head elders, just being able to enter the top hundred would earn them combat merit rewards. This alone is estimated to attract many disciples.

No way.

At present, the opportunity for Tianzong to gain military merit is indeed scarce.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

These disciples will definitely not miss the opportunity to gain military exploits in the great competition.

Then.

Shen Changqing had given some instructions and then waved his hand, allowing the elders to leave.

Not long.

Only he remained in the main hall.

"One must eat rice bite by bite, and things must be done step by step. At present, Tiānzōng is gradually growing stronger, and it will surely provide assistance to the human race in the future!"

Chen Changqing's eyes were unwavering.

The true enemies of humanity are the Gods or those who were once under their power. The rest of the races actually hold little hostility towards humans, and those who join the Heavenly Sect are mostly independent cultivators.
