The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1462: Chapter 1462: Expansion Plan

Viper Emperor used to have a terrible reputation, and Jing Yan definitely didn’t want the Viper Emperor to continue his wrongdoings after joining the All Paths Spirit Mountain, bringing negative impact to it.

Therefore, if Viper continues his evil deeds after joining the All Paths Spirit Mountain, Jing Yan will absolutely show no leniency.

”Holy Master, I, Viper, swear to the Heavenly Dao that after joining the All Paths Sacred Land, I will absolutely abide by its rules. I, Viper, am willing to serve the All Paths Sacred Land.” Viper’s face was sincere.

This time, the Viper Emperor was indeed resolute in changing his ways.

”Good! In that case, from now on, you are a Lower Elder of the All Paths Spirit Mountain.” Jing Yan stated.

In the All Paths Spirit Mountain, Lower Elders are generally of the Second-tier God Master level. Elders like Emperor Chang Kong and Emperor Hong Yuan are Upper Elders. Given the Viper Emperor’s strength, he could have originally been an Upper Elder, but since he’s just joined the All Paths Spirit Mountain, being appointed a Lower Elder is already quite favorable.

In the future, if he achieves merits, his status can naturally be elevated.

With the appointment of Lower Elder, the Viper Emperor had no dissatisfaction whatsoever. Before Jing Yan appointed him, he even thought he might not be able to become an elder after just joining. Now, being named a Lower Elder at the All Paths Spirit Mountain exceeds his psychological expectations.

The Viper Emperor quickly expressed his gratitude and thanks.

As the Viper Emperor officially joined the All Paths Spirit Mountain, several elders courteously congratulated him.

Regardless, it’s indeed a joyous occasion for a God Lord-level figure to join the All Paths Spirit Mountain.

”Elder Su He!” Jing Yan looked at Su He present in the hall.

”Present!” Su He stepped forward.

”I plan to convene an All Paths Assembly, set for ten years from now. You should prepare and send out all necessary invitations.” Jing Yan instructed.

”All Paths Assembly?” Elder Su He raised his head to look at Jing Yan.

The other elders also looked at Jing Yan in puzzlement.

”Yes! Convene the All Paths Assembly! In the All Paths World, aside from the Wanbao Divine Hall and the All Paths Sacred Land, aren’t there seven first-class powers? These forces are the ones we’re targeting for invitation. I want to leverage the All Paths Assembly to lead a contingent.”

”Apart from the seven first-class powers, you also need to try your best to deliver invitations to the loose cultivators of Divine Sovereign and God Lord levels. Our All Paths Sacred Land is insufficient to suppress Wanbao Divine Hall with its current strength, and we need to rapidly expand our power.”

Jing Yan stated slowly.

The elders glanced at one another upon hearing Jing Yan’s words.

”Holy Master, there isn’t a problem with convening the All Paths Assembly, but as for how many people will attend... that’s...” Elder Su He said hesitantly.

Sending out the invitations is no issue; he handles the intelligence work for All Paths Spirit Mountain, so this is a minor task for him. The problem is, it’s hard to predict if those receiving the invitations will come to attend the All Paths Assembly. The All Paths Sacred Land today isn’t what it used to be.

To be honest, those seven first-class forces of the All Paths World might not actually give face to the current All Paths Sacred Land. As for the loose cultivators, even more so. Despite not having backing forces, they roam freely; even if they don’t show face to All Paths Sacred Land, what can one really do?

Elder Su He wanted to express that if All Paths Spirit Mountain hosts the All Paths Assembly, but few attend, it would undoubtedly be embarrassing and a joke for others.

Most elders shared similar thoughts to Elder Su He.

”I’ve already got a plan for that!”

”You can indicate in the invitations that some elixirs will be auctioned at the All Paths Assembly. These elixirs include, but are not limited to, the Heavenly Pill!” Jing Yan said confidently with a smile.

Upon hearing Jing Yan mention the Heavenly Pill, the elders were slightly stunned.

Heavenly Pill, a top-level Divine Pill.

Whether in the Human Territory or in single worlds, the Heavenly Pill is regarded as the most superb elixir. Divine Sovereign-level God Lords would receive tremendous assistance from using the Heavenly Pill in cultivation. God Lord-level figures using the Heavenly Pill can rapidly enhance their cultivation.

Of course, the Heavenly Pill is extremely rare and something that can be longed for but not sought.

Even for Divine Sovereign-level God Lord powerhouses, acquiring a Heavenly Pill isn’t easy. Within the All Paths World, Pill Masters capable of refining the Heavenly Pill are few; including Wanbao Daoist, probably no more than five.

That’s precisely why when Holy Master Jing Yan mentioned auctioning the Heavenly Pill, Su He and the other elders appeared astonished.

”Holy Master, the Heavenly Pill is too precious as a top-level Divine Pill. If you possess one, you’d need to use it for your cultivation; how can you put it up for auction?” Elder Chang Kong attempted to persuade Jing Yan.

”Elder Chang Kong, and elders, there’s no need to worry about me. The Heavenly Pills for auction at the All Paths Assembly will be no less than a hundred. Besides Heavenly Pills, multiple top-level Divine Pills will also be auctioned.” Jing Yan said with a smile.

”If there are top-tier Divine Pills for auction, then the All Paths Assembly will surely be highly attractive. Those first-class forces definitely won’t miss it. Those loose cultivators will certainly strive to attend. Holy Master, is this confirmed?” Elder Chang He asked with a glimmer of excitement in his eyes.

”Yes, that’s the plan!” Jing Yan nodded, then added: ”Let the South, East, West, and North Branch Spirit Mountains all come to attend the All Paths Assembly!”

”Yes!” Elder Su He responded loudly.

...

For the next ten years, Jing Yan focused mainly on two endeavors.

The first was alchemy, refining Heavenly Pills among other top-tier elixirs. The Treasure Vault of All Paths Spirit Mountain holds stocks of most precious materials, so Jing Yan doesn’t need to search externally for Divine Grass materials for refining.

In terms of Alchemy Dao, though Jing Yan hasn’t reached the level of Holy Alchemist yet, with Little Black’s assistance, he faces no issues in refining top-level Divine Pills.

The second endeavor was integrating the Ruishui River domain into the Chaos Sword. Using Moro Time Tower, under thirtyfold time acceleration, Jing Yan smoothly integrated the Ruishui River domain. During this process, Jing Yan also focused on comprehending the Gravity Domain. If he could transform the Gravity Domain to its ultimate form, paired with the Chaos Sword, his combat power would be exceptionally terrifying.

Jing Yan’s judgment on the North Branch Spirit Mountain wasn’t wrong; the North Branch did send an envoy regarding Elder Zhang He’s death. However, Jing Yan didn’t meet this envoy and merely had Elder Su He handle it.

Though the envoy was unwilling, in the All Paths Spirit Mountain, he dared not overstep. With Elder Zhang He killed, if he angered Jing Yan, his fate would likely be no better than Zhang He’s. So despite dissatisfaction, he had to endure; at least within the All Paths Spirit Mountain, he dared not act too impudently or recklessly.
