Chapter 6
''Hopefully this Capital will give me some better candidates. If not just make it my subsidiary force and get a steady stream of disciples in the future.''
Currently Norman was flying through the sky under Franklin's control.
According to the Town Head, the June Empire is a decent empire in the Broken Valley. With over a hundred million residents and an army of 1,000,000 standing by!
Of course a Mortal Army means nothing to Norman. A single Cultivator wouldn't even be cut by a Mortals weapon if they stood there and took it.
''It seems like a good target to start with. Even if Mortal Talents have deteriorated rapidly without Spiritual Energy blessing them, the poor talent can't stand the large base.''
''At least one or two Third-Class Talent can be recruited, and plenty of Fourth-Class Talents.''
Don't look at these small numbers incomparable to Norman's sign in. In fact any cultivator is worth the lives of hundreds of thousands of Mortals.
In the eyes of a Sect the only purpose of Mortals is to breed better children for them to recruit!
''This is the Imperial Capital?''
After half a day of flying, Franklin and Norman finally arrived at the capital.
There were towering walls surrounding the city. However the stone was flimsy and useless against Franklin's flying.
The duo flew over the wall looking at the millions of people within the colossal city.
But a look of disgust appeared on Norman's face.
''Is it really worth leaving the Sect for this? I can't even see one Fourth-Class Talent! Let alone Third-Class.''
''Haha finally a Third-Class Talent!''
After flying across the entire City, Norman finally landed in front of a majestic imperial palace.
''Bold! Why did you trespass!''
But from the edges of the palace hundreds of guards rushed out in golden armour only to be swatted away by Franklin.
Their heads exploded at a simple wave as the duo walked forward.
''Who are you!''
Before long the duo were standing in a hall, with a large imperial throne in the centre. Blood red flags were draped down the sides of a majestic man wearing a golden throne.
But this previous lofty Emperor June now trembled, staring at the young man in front of him.
Beside the man, there was a pretty girl, the only Third-Class Talent in this giant Imperial City.
''Sect Leader of the Sanctuary Immortal Sect. Now do you wish to submit or not?''
Norman showed a sly smile.
The Emperor heard his words and was stunned. Of course he knew what Immortals were! Although the knowledge was all but lost to normal people a lot of these royal families are descendants of cultivators.
They benefited from the weapons, resources and background left behind by the Cultivators to continue to stand still.
''Impossible, without Aura how can immortals exist.''
The Emperor seemed stunned by this. Staring at the two fairy-like figures in front of him in shock.
''This Emperor wishes to submit!''
Half an hour later Norman reappeared on the teleportation Formation. A bored look on his face.
''With Franklin in the Kingdom it shouldn't be long before they unify the nearby territories. I will instruct the Deacons to take some Elders to join him.''
Although Norman left with a lofty goal, he was really bored! In the face of Cultivators, Mortals are too flimsy.
And in this Broken Valley there is no sect comparable to the Sanctuary Immortal Sect at its peak, so they have likely all disappeared in the canals of time.
''It's much better remaining in the mountain and letting my disciples do the work.''
Thinking of this Norman returned to his room, determined to break through to the Foundation Realm.

''Sign in.''
[Congratulations to the Host for getting: 10 Third-Class Disciples]
[Congratulations to the Host for getting: Basic Library Books x10,000]
[Congratulations to the Host for getting: 500 Steel swords]
Three days passed quickly. Although the Sign in rewards were alright there was nothing that could spark Norman's interest.
Instead he was more interested in his Disciples progress.
[Released Mission: Train Disciples
Have 100 Disciples break through to the Qi Refining Realm
74/100
Reward: Disciples Registry]
Over the past three days, dozens of disciples broke through quickly with the guidance of the Deacons.
And at the same time Franklin sent back the first batch of disciples from the Empire. 30 Fourth-Class Disciples and 1 Third-Class Disciple.
Although small it shows a good path for development!
''Mary, send the order to the Disciples. When you reach the Second Realm of Qi Refining to head down the mountain and assist Deacon Franklin in occupying Mortal territory.''
''I want the Broken Valley taken under my control before other Ancient Sects start to reemerge.''
Norman frowned. He didn't doubt that with the increase in Aura the world will slowly begin to change.
Inheritances will start to reappear, cultivators frozen like him will re-emerge and they will likely relive the glory days of the Immortal World.
But at the same time they might live through another catastrophe just like the last one. Naturally Norman has no intention to fall like that! Instead he is determined to create a powerful land away from everything else.

[Do you wish to sign in?]
''Sign in!''
Norman's eye burnt with fire excited for today's reward.

[Congratulations to the Host for getting: Spiritual Core]
[Spiritual Core: By placing the Spiritual Core at the centre of the Sect, it will continuously produce Aura regardless of the outside environment. At the same time it can be used as the centre of formations. The Quantity of Aura produced is determined by the strength of the Sect.
Grade 10: Enough to support Qi Refining
Grade 9: Enough to support Foundation Realm
Grade 8: Enough to Support Golden Core Realm]
''Haha! Exactly what I needed!''
Norman was shocked. Instantly his body flashed, reappearing in a large underground basement within the mountain.
It was a majestic underground mausoleum filled with the extravagance of wealth. Rumour has it the Saint Realm Ancestor of the Sect used to retreat here.
''System place the Spiritual Core!''
