Chapter 538: Chapter 63 The First Step to Reviving the Sect Chapter 538: Chapter 63 The First Step to Reviving the Sect Apart from his trump cards, Wei Dongliu employed various strategies one after the other.
After watching patiently, the Blood Sea Ancestor commented:
“The rank is quite high, but the quantity is too small.”
“If the intelligence on these strategies of yours were to be unveiled, and countermeasures specifically designed against them, you’d find yourself in trouble.”
Wei Dongliu remained silent, thinking to himself that he was well aware that his hand was skilful yet incomplete.
How could he possibly not know that, given that he had no master and no sect, and all the cultivation resources he had were acquired through exploring adventures?
Just maintaining quality was already quite an accomplishment, wasn’t it?
“In the past, when the Intercepting Cult split and was destroyed, some five hundred Scattered Immortals gathered at Mount Wutai to establish the Intercepting Cult’s Hunyuan Sect, known as the ‘Hunyuan Myriad Laws’,” the Blood Sea Ancestor said with a sigh.
“Time brings great changes.
In the years that followed, the Hunyuan Sect split and recombined, and most of the lineages died out, either being absorbed by other schools or fading away quietly.”
“Currently in the Hunyuan Sect, only Lingxiu Mountain, Cloud Snow Mountain, and Moonfall Mountain-these three factions remain.
Their inheritance and legacies are not very powerful, otherwise they wouldn’t be continuously suppressed by the Heavenly Demon Path and the Nether Ghost Path in various aspects.”
As he said this, the Blood Sea Ancestor fell into a momentary contemplation, then added:
“At the height of Tong Xuan Gate’s glory, it was claimed that they possessed sixty percent of the Intercepting Cult Hunyuan Sect’s inheritance.”

“Now that I’ve appointed you as the Sect Leader of Hunyuan Sect, and even the master of the entire Mortal Life Path, your primary task is to retrieve those inheritances from the ruins of Tong Xuan Gate.”……
While Wei Dongliu was communicating with the Blood Sea Ancestor inside, Jiang Liyan was pacing back and forth outside, arms crossed and shivering.
After undergoing Marrow Cleansing, a cultivator’s physical condition greatly improves, and they become immune to all sorts of diseases, so being cold is definitely out of the question.
The reason she kept trembling was merely due to nervousness.
???G0.??
Although the Blood Sea Ancestor seemed to bear no ill will towards Wei Dongliu, and even appeared to appreciate him to a great extent, Jiang the Witch, having experienced the harshness of the world and seen the ugliest sides of human nature, would never believe there were people who would do good without reason.
She thought that the Blood Sea Ancestor’s kind gaze towards Wei Dongliu hid an ulterior motive.
But what if he suddenly turned hostile?
What then?
The more Jiang the Witch thought about it, the more frightened she became.
She paced incessantly, deeply hating her own Danger Intuition for being effective only on herself and unable to perceive Wei Dongliu’s situation.
Should Wei Dongliu die inside, her seeming safe situation would immediately crumble.
Perhaps she would have to find some remote corners of the earth to hide and pray not to be found and captured by her master.
Annoyed by her constant pacing, the Flying Asura snappily said:
“Why don’t you stop walking back and forth?”
“Aren’t you worried?” Jiang Liyan rolled her eyes in response.
“What could possibly happen to the Demon Lord?” scoffed the Flying Asura.
If Abi Devil Lord were so easy to deal with, how could I possibly kowtow before him, and toil like an ox or horse?
“Hmph,” Jiang the Witch replied coldly, “If he really does fall for an Immortal’s scheme, I’m curious to see what you would do.”
The Flying Asura ignored her, but inwardly couldn’t help but mutter:
If something were really to happen to Wei Demon Lord, then I’d have to secure his Hiltless Locust Wood Sword before the Immortal catches on.
Otherwise, if it were to fall into the hands of an Immortal, wouldn’t I have just escaped the tiger’s den only to enter the wolf’s lair?
However…
how difficult it would be to pull off something under the nose of an Immortal!
Moreover, considering the near-infinite lifespan of Immortals, should I encounter one who doesn’t venture out, they might not face any danger for ten or twenty thousand years.
Wouldn’t that mean I would remain a servant forever?
At this thought, even though it had long since lost most human emotions, it still felt an inescapable sense of ennui wrap around its heart.
Fortunately, it wasn’t long before Wei Dongliu finally came down the mountain at ease, alleviating the anxieties of Jiang Liyan and the Flying Asura, who both felt a great weight lifted.
They then went up to meet him with enthusiasm.
“Cultivator Wei!”
“Master!”
Just as Jiang Liyan called out “Cultivator,” she heard the Asura address him as “Master,” and immediately spat disdainfully several times in her heart.
Shameless!
You’re a zombie, what are you doing playing the personal maid?
If anyone should be calling him that, it should be me!
“Cultivator Wei, was your trip smooth?” Jiang the Witch asked sweetly, her demeanor sincere and her tone extraordinarily gentle.
“It went smoothly,” Wei Dongliu said indifferently.
“Next, I need to go somewhere.
You two wait here for the time being.”
“Where do you wish to go, Cultivator Wei?” Jiang Liyan immediately responded with eagerness.
She certainly did not want to stay with the dead-faced Flying Asura.
“Let me accompany you, then.
I can help you out.”
“Wherever Master goes, I can also be of service, attending to things before and after,” the Flying Asura quickly scrambled to butter him up, not forgetting to shoot a venomous glare at Jiang the Witch.
“The place I need to go might be dangerous,” Wei Dongliu stated slowly.
The Flying Asura’s face immediately turned dark (although it already had a ghastly green face and sharp fangs, it was hard to tell), considering that currently eight or nine-tenths of its power was sealed.
If it exerted too much force, it might easily draw upon itself a Heavenly Tribulation.
Therefore, following Wei Dongliu and frightening others was one thing, but if they encountered a situation that truly called for action, it would rather be at a disadvantage-especially against some mindless Demonic Beasts, traps, and the like.
Since Wei Dongliu had put it that way, it was a suggestion for them to stay put.
The Flying Asura naturally got the hint right away and, after a moment of contemplation, fell silent.
However, Jiang Liyan was not willing to give up and insisted,
“Cultivator Wei, although my cultivation level is modest, I do have a unique understanding when it comes to saving my own skin.
Especially when danger is imminent, my intuition is the sharpest, which might be able to help you out.”
I’m not just some decorative vase as a Guest Elder!
Although her Danger Intuition had not warned her, Jiang Liyan at this point felt a very strong sense of crisis regarding her place in Wei Dongliu’s eyes.
After all, even the Sect Guardian Immortal of the Mortal Life Path was beginning to see Wei Dongliu in a new light, so once the Myriad Laws Mystic Profound Sect truly expanded, cultivators from all walks of life would surely come in an endless stream.
If she didn’t make the most of the time while the Sect had few members, and work hard to max out Wei Dongliu’s impression of her, it would be too late later!
Wei Dongliu, though surprised by Jiang the Witch’s proactive attitude, was also quite pleased with her in his heart.
Who doesn’t like an employee who actively asks for more work?
At the present, his role for Jiang the Witch was that of a reasonably attractive Sect Deacon, whose main job was to take care of his two inexpensive disciples, guide their cultivation, answer questions, and so on.
For example, even though individuals like Guan Zhan were disciples of the Ziwei Sect Leader, the Ziwei Master couldn’t be bothered to teach them himself and simply let Qiu Changtian do the job.
In some ways, Jiang Liyan served a similar purpose.
But if she sought to further tap into her own value, Wei Dongliu would naturally be pleased to see her success-and he didn’t even have to promote or give her a raise for it, which was great.
With that in mind, he had the clearly disgruntled Flying Asura wait there, while he took Jiang Liyan with him, controlling the sword as they flew toward a distant mountain peak, following the guidance given by the Blood Sea Ancestor.
More than four thousand years prior, the residence of Tong Xuan Gate was located on the eastern Cloud Sea Peak, which had turned into ruins following the Sect’s destruction, with any remaining items already thoroughly plundered.
However, according to the Blood Sea Ancestor, Tong Xuan Gate had hidden all their heritage texts near the summit of Cloud Sea Peak, in a cave known as “Luoyan Cave.”
Now that Wei Dongliu had made up his mind, as the Sect Leader of the Myriad Laws Mystic Profound Sect, Sect Leader of the Hunyuan Sect, and Chief of the Mortal Life Path, it was only natural for him to venture into that uncharted Luoyan Cave to retrieve the heritage texts of the former Tong Xuan Gate.
It was for his cultivation as well as to swiftly bolster the foundation of the Myriad Laws Mystic Profound Sect, helping him firmly establish himself within the Hunyuan Sect and suppress the other three factions.
In the end, he planned to grasp the entirety of the Mortal Life Path’s power, becoming the new colossal figure of the Demon Cult!
