Chapter 27

''The checkpoints have proved quite useful after all.''

Soon Norman was sitting in the Sect hall reading the information over the last month.

The most notable was a battle occurring around one of the Checkpoints.

A Female figure had appeared in the Second Realm Foundation attacking dozens of disciples.

Fortunately the Deacons were quick to react. Four of them went over directly fighting off the female figure after she disappeared.

In the end only one Third-Class Disciple and 10 Handymen died.

''Interesting. It seems like Leopold found some help.''

As soon as Norman heard the information, his eyes flashed slightly, and he had a suspicion as to who Leopold found.

''The Blue petunias huh. I'm surprised they managed to seal someone.''

Sure enough after he scouted down the leaderboard a familiar sect came to mind.

[ 22) Blue Petunia Sect (Grade 10)]

The Blue Petunia Sect were a relatively well known sect. Because they had something strange about them.

They thrived off Dual Cultivation! The Sect itself was only a Grade 4 Sect at its peak. But it was sheltered by dozens of top sects including hundreds of lower grade sects.

Despite not having many top combatants, their wealth was enviable. They were practically untouchable.

Even the Immortal Sanctuary Sect at its peak didn't dare compete.

''But now… without those sects supporting you what can you do.''

Norman showed a sly look, but before he could continue reading the reports, two System notifications appeared!

[Ding]

[Congratulations to the Host for reaching the standard to become a Grade 9 Sect.]

[Ding]

[Congratulations to the Hosts Subsidiary Force, Imperial Chamber of Commerce for reaching the Peak of a Mortal Trading Company.]

[Reward: One Sect Guardian Elder, 10 Inheritance Opportunities.]

''Huh? System show me the sect panel and the Chamber of Commerces panels!''

Norman heard the prompt and instantly widened his eyes.

[Imperial Chamber of Commerce (Subsidiary Force)

''Haha I didn't expect sending some more disciples to the Merchant Group would prove so valuable! But why is it limited to 9 value System?''

[Host, the Chamber of commerce doesn't do any business with Cultivators at the moment. The best thing to do is begin selling objects to sell cultivation resources to other empires.]

''I see… Well it will take a while before a lot of Spiritual Resources come out. But more importantly I actually became a Grade 9 Sect!''

Norman glanced at the sect details and smiled happily.

''But selecting a Holy Son and Daughter. Surely I can choose any disciple from the sect and use them as a Holy son and daughter? The bonuses are definitely worth it!''

Norman seemed to be having some exaggerated thoughts when he saw the details on the Sect Panel. But soon his mind settled when he heard the system's retort.

[Host, please be wary when choosing the Holy Son and Daughter. When selected they will carry the fortune of the Sect. If they die or are removed from the position before they have the ability to return the Luck to the Sect at least 50% of the sects luck will die with them.]

[It is recommended that the Host picks someone who can reach the Saint Realm for the positions of Holy son and Daughter. At that time they can separate themselves from the position and instead improve the Sects Luck.]

''I see but what's the personal benefits for being a Holy Son or Daughter?''

[The Holy Son and Daughter will have their cultivation blessed by the entire luck of the sect. They will be unrivalled in the same talent bracket and there will be no bottlenecks. However if their talent is inferior it is still difficult to exceed their potential in the end.]

Norman listened carefully.

Essentially the Disciples that become the Holy Son and Daughter will cultivate incredibly quickly, having no bottlenecks until the natural bottleneck that comes with their talent.

And when they reach the Saint Realm they can retire from the position and return the increased level of luck to the sect for the next Holy Son to inherit.

''Doesn't this mean as long as I have an endless supply of talents, the number of powerhouses in the sect would increase quickly?''

Norman saw this and suddenly smiled.

At the same time he felt the aura around him begin to increase. A side effect of the Spiritual Core within the sect increasing the quantity of aura. It was already enough to support a Golden Core Cultivator!

''But what are these two rewards that I received?''

Norman finally stared at the prizes for increasing the sect grade.

But as soon as he read them both, his eyes burned with excitement.

[Sect Guardian Elder: Guardian Elders are a unique summon, their cultivation is determined by the Grade of the Sect and they will have a unique talent and cultivation method. Every Sect Guardian Elder is an incredible bonus to the Sect and an irreplaceable existence.]

[Inheritance Opportunities: Each card holds a chance for a powerhouses inheritance, the quality of the inheritance is determined by the talent and luck of the person that the card is used on.

Once used, the disciple selected will be transported to a void and complete a trial to determine the quality of their inheritance, receiving cultivation methods, Martial Skills and even talents from the person that they inherited from.]

''Incredible! System use the Guardian Elder Opportunity!''
