Chapter 19

Quickly a week passed. However it was far from peaceful in the sect.

Disciples competed openly for the Chief Outer Disciples positions, while there was constantly news of disciples achieving things in the Mortal Realm!

Katy successfully occupies an Empire on her own, leading her beasts and wiping out the Royal Family. As a result she decided to actually remain there as an Empress!

Seeing the Contribution brought in by wiping out the Royal Family and trading the riches for Contribution Points, other disciples began to copy Katy.

Occupying Empires, bandit camps or large mortal families as their subordinates to deliver them goods from the Mortal world.

With it the Sect Treasury expanded everyday! Millions of Gold Coins, Silver Coins and ordinary weapons filled the first layer.

However even with all these goods it was only a fraction filled. After all, the Sects Treasury is a giant tower stretching high, but more importantly it was dug deeply into the underground reaching thousands of meters deep all the way to the Dragon Vein!

As early as there were gold coins in the treasury, ten disciples in the Qi Refining Realm were recruited to guard it at all times.

''Sect Leader, our treasury now has enough wealth to rival those rich Grade 10 Chamber of Commerces. Unfortunately it is mostly Mortal Currency, however we have began to reinvest it buying materials to construct the Check Points into small fortresses.''

''I would like to authorize them to take 1 Million Gold Coins to construct the two Checkpoints with large walls and defenses within them.''

Norman thought before calmly answering.

''Authorisation granted. Also take another Million Gold Coins and begin to purchase long-lasting grains and seeds. The Sect should have enough food stored for a century.''

''Also how is the reclamation of land on the outskirts of the Sect doing?''

The Deacon was happy that he received the grant and extra and quickly responded.

''The Handymen have worked hard to Reclaim the land. So far with the division of time between cultivating and farming the farm produces enough food to supply 10,000 people a year.''

''However as people want more contribution points, handymen are working even more eagerly to harvest the fields at the edge.''

''But Sect Leader, it is likely that those disciples will lose interest in farming when their cultivation breaks through what should we do then?''

The deacon had a concerned look, but fortunately Norman had thought this through enough.

''If there are no disciples to take their places by then, recruit some Mortals from the outside to join it. However I hope that by the time all the disciples break through, the next generation of children will appear with disciples as their parents.''

''Not everyone will become a cultivator and they can be recruited to fulfill those tasks in the sect.''

It is not uncommon for cultivators to marry three wives and six concubines in this world. That means a lot of children are born every year.

While cultivators have a higher chance of giving birth to children with talents, it is still impossible to say that every child will become a Cultivator.

Slowly the rest of the month passed and the excitement in the air around the sect was palpable.

''All Disciples head to the Martial Arts Field to sign up! If you are late don't blame us for not being able to join.''

''Chief Outer Disciples lead your teams, stay together and avoid accidents.''

Four of the eight Deacons had returned to overwatch the event. Floating over the swarms of disciples rushing towards the Martial Arts Field.

Only Norman was sitting in the Sect Hall himself. The Aura around his body flushed into his Dantian as the golden kingdom glowed and grew bigger and bigger.

''Fifth Realm Foundation.''

Taking a deep breath out he enjoyed the surge of power for a moment.

However it was quickly replaced by the excitement of a System Prompt.

[Detected that the Host has 30 Sign In Opportunities. Do you wish to use them?]

''Yes! Sign in!''

[Congratulations to the Host for signing in 30 times and getting: 1 Year of Cultivation, 5 Deacons, 300 Third-Class Disciples, 1,500 Fourth-Class disciples, 1,000 Fifth Class Disciples, 2x Spiritual Sword (Common)...]

[Ding]

[Congratulations to the Host for using 30 Sign in's at once and getting: First Grade Sect Guardian Formation.]

[Sect Guardian Formation (First-Grade): Requires 8 Foundation Cultivators and 108 Qi Refining Cultivators to operate the individual sections of the Formation. Can Resist attacks from Golden Core Cultivators, with the ability to attack killing those below the Golden Core Realm.]

[1 Year of Cultivation (Norman): Used to immediately receive 1 Year of constant Cultivation at the standard of the Cultivator Norman.]

''Haha! Incredible!''

Norman stared at the list of objects signed in. The basic rewards like Mortal weapons and books were removed from the options.

However, just the ones that remained were incredible!

''System Summon the new Disciples!''

Norman didn't hesitate pulling out the more than three thousand disciples in front of him.

Immediately thousands of figures bowed down.

''Greetings to the Sect Master.''

Three hundred young children stood at the front, followed by the Fourth-Class Talents and finally the Fifth-Class Disciples.

In front of the entire group the five new deacons appeared filled with a sense of elegance and pride.

''Deacons greet the Sect Master.''

However in front of Norman they each bowed loyally.

''Good! Come with me.''

Norman immediately led the group out of the hall, organising them into the respective locations.

He seemed to realise a good use for the 1,500 Fifth-Class Disciples, leaving some of them at the base of the mountain to take care of the many fields.

While the others were immediately sent off to the various checkpoints.

After the new disciples and Deacons were organised Norman's figure flashed, reappearing in the deepest basement of the sect.

In front of him the Spiritual Core was floating in the air.

''Just put the formation here.''

Norman glanced around. His hands instantly stretched out as he began to engrave patterns in a circle around the formation.

Slowly a complex formation began to appear, spreading dozens of metres.

In the centre there were 8 large circles filled with runes each with a small crystal radiating an endless light.

On the exterior 108 smaller circles began to appear.

''Haha! Now even if those geniuses on the list attack the Sect Can easily survive.''

Norman smiled slightly.

Although his sect is still ranked 1 on the list, it is undeniable that he was always faced with the threat of death from the Sect Masters of other sects.

Their talents were high and their cultivation was far superior to his! But now he can relax.
