Chapter 15

This is an incredibly bad sign.

''Speed up the progress. I want all the royal families in the Valley under our control by the end of the month. Even if the control over the country is lacking I need to ensure that no royal families can threaten our status.''

''Yes sect Leader.''

Unfortunately while Norman was accounting for the Royal Families, he had forgotten something.

While the Catastrophe was devastating it didn't kill cultivators instantly.

Instead they had plenty of time to create their tombs with their personal inheritances. And with the rejuvenation of Spiritual Aura, those countless ruins and relics are slowly remerging.

Inside the Broken Valley Black Mountain Empire a young boy drenched in blood was crawling between trees.

His heart was racing as he stared around with vigilance.

This little boy was Ryan, the Youngest Prince of the Black Mountain Empire.

''Ahh!''

Just as he was crawling he felt the ground beneath him crumble as he experienced a faint weightlessness.

His small body smashed against the heavy ground inside of a small grey tomb.

''What the hell is this!''

Ryan stared at the skeleton in front of him with fear. The skeleton was sitting on a small golden futon with a jade crystal resting on his lap.

Before Ryan could even react the jade crystal shattered into pieces as a stream of information poured into his mind.

''Middle-Black Grade Cultivation Technique? Does this mean I become a Powerful cultivators like those bastards that killed my family?''

''Hah, just a broken sect from ancient times? How dare they destroy my Empire.''

Ryan seemed to receive countless memories in his mind. This man was a Scattered Foundation Expert and one of the first ones to die under the catastrophe.

But Ryans eyes seemed to burn. From this inheritance he learnt that the jade crystal would only break if you have a Cultivation Talent.

Unfortunately Ryans dream for revenge might be impossible. Because if Norman was here he would see that the small crystal beside the Foundation Experts body was glowing Black.

The Talent Testing Stone clearly showed Ryan was only a Fifth-Class Genius.

''System use my Sign in Opportunities!''

Back in the Sect Norman was unaware of his enemy that had appeared. Instead he stared at the 14 Sign In Opportunities collected in the System with excitement.

[Congratulations to the Host for signing in 14 times and getting: 2 Deacons, 110 Third-Class Disciples, 1,000 Fourth-Class disciples, 1 Second-Class Disciple, 500 Fifth Class Disciples, 1x Spiritual Sword (Common), 10,000 Steel Swords, 1,000 Sets of Iron Armour, 1 Basic Library.]

Norman stared at the list of rewards appearing in his face with shock.

The Worst reward was undoubtedly the Steel swords and Iron Armour, but at least they were enough to equip the disciples.

But his eyes focused on the Second-Class Disciple.

''System summon my Second-Class Disciple!''

He couldn't resist, smiling happily as he looked at the young man appear in front of him.

''Greetings to the Sect Leader.''

The young voice came out as a panel appeared in front of Norman.

[Jacob (Sanctuary Immortal Sect)

Cultivation: Mortal

Talent: Second-Class

Identity: Outer Disciple of the Sanctuary Immortal Sect

Cultivation Technique: None

Martial Skills: None]

''Haha finally a Second-Class Talent!''

Second-Class Talents are guaranteed the Golden Core Realm with a high chance of reaching the Cave Building Realm!

It completely outmatched the 100 Third-Class Disciples that also came out.

''Good good System summon my two deacons.''

A male and a female figure appeared in front of Norman.

''Greetings to the Sect Leader.''

''One of you will take Jacob under your wing. Talk to Deacon Mary outside and get him two Drops of Spiritual Liquid to practise with and find a Cultivation Technique!''

The bonus from two Foundation Experts was even outmatched by Jacob. After all, the Deacons have limited potential.

Maybe they will reach the Golden Core Realm in their life, maybe they won't. But if Jacob doesn't die he will definitely become a Golden Core or even Cave Building Expert.

''Yes Sect Leader.''

The Two Deacons were faintly confused but followed Norman's answer, leading Jacob out.

After they left Norman summoned out the 110 Third-Class Disciples and Fourth-Class Disciples, sending them to the Outer Sect and Handyman Area.

As for the Fifth-Class Disciples, sticking with his original idea he sent them to the Checkpoint, but also instructed a Third-Class Disciple in the Fourth Realm of Qi Refining to construct another Checkpoint with half of the Disciples.

''Good, with two Checkpoints it should be easier to gather resources in the future. Each checkpoint should be able to hold close to 2,000 Disciples.''

''As for the money needed to run them… they can use Contribution Points like the normal disciples and food can be bought with the taxes paid to them.''

Norman had it figured out. The Checkpoints weren't ridiculously huge like the Sects base, but they were big enough.

After all, their main purpose was just to hold less talented disciples and allow access to the outside world.

''In the future station a Deacon at each Checkpoint to ensure their safety.''

''Finally can take a look at the other things I was awarded!''

Staring at the large stacks of weapons and equipment and the library Norman was unfazed. Storing the weapons and equipment in the Treasury, while the Library contained only some Black and Earth Grade Techniques to enrich the Cultivation Pagoda.

But finally his eyes rested on the Spiritual Weapon.

''Common Spiritual Weapon?''

Norman's face showed a faint smile.

His hand waved and a long blue blade appeared in his hand. As soon as it appeared a deep chill spread across the room.

[Frozen Sword Spiritual Weapon (Common): Filled with an icy chill it's attacks hold the power of ice able to freeze their opponents blood and body. Can greatly increase the effectiveness of attacks with the ice element.]

''Not bad! My power is far stronger with a Spiritual Weapon!''

Norman smiled, waving the sword around. With each blow the air twisted and blades of blue sword light flew out.

Spiritual Weapons are weapons forged with special materials containing Aura. Each one has special effects and can greatly increase your combat effectiveness.

However they also have gradings.
