Chapter 1067 - 1167: Gathering of the Heads

The next day, at the break of dawn, Ye Tianfan was called by Tian Chu Zhenren to head towards Taichu Peak together.

Ye Tianfan was initially puzzled as to why they were called so early. It turned out that the explanation from Tian Chu Zhenren was that it was Taichu Zhenren who notified early, directly informing all the heads of the Taichu Sect at dawn.

So, upon receiving the notification, Tian Chu Zhenren hurriedly sought out Ye Tianfan and then led him to Taichu Peak.

Ye Tianfan also knew that this trip to Taichu Peak would change the entire world's structure, as for a long time to come, the whole cultivation world's focus would be set beyond the walls unless a sect's vision was too short-sighted.

Otherwise, there was no possibility of not aiming beyond the walls, after all, the resources beyond are at least tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of times those within.

Even in areas of the same size, the energy concentration outside the walls is several times that within, and there are natural treasures everywhere. Although those natural treasures are evil materials and magical, once they have been converted by the Chaos Treasure Lotus, they slowly turn into normal natural treasures.

Moreover, this transformation time is not too long, which means that once you occupy a territory beyond the wall, it will not take long to receive land teeming with natural treasures.

By then, not only can these natural treasures be used to refine elixirs, but they can also enhance the quality of surrounding spiritual power, making the environment better and better, essentially creating a virtuous cycle. Of course, when we cultivators step into this virtuous cycle, we will break it, slowly making it like the cultivation world, resource scarce.

But this time will be long and will not turn this place into the cultivation world in the short term.

Moreover, once cultivators occupy territory beyond the wall, it won't necessarily make it like the cultivation world. The influx of external resources, coupled with internal resources, means that everyone can receive more resources and will not immediately take away any material they see, as before.

Upon arriving at Taichu Peak, Ye Tianfan and Tian Chu Zhenren met other heads, sat down in Taichu Hall, and waited for those who had not arrived, as not everyone was like Tian Chu Zhenren, who came straight away upon receiving the notification. After all, Taiqi Peak had only a few people, easy to organize, while other peaks, assembled temporarily and having many disciples, required some arrangements.

Once everyone arrived, Taichu Zhenren recited to the heads what Ye Tianfan had previously told him, then said, "This is a great opportunity for us, and our development focus will shift from within the wall to beyond the wall. However, we cannot slow down the development within the wall, so I believe we can dispatch more than six heads, taking over eighty percent of the disciples, to represent the Taichu Sect in entering beyond the wall and developing power among other Sects."

"Then how should we divide the territories we conquer?" Yuan Chu Zhenren asked after hearing Taichu Zhenren's words.

Other heads nodded upon hearing Yuan Chu Zhenren, as these were the matters they valued most. After all, they were venturing beyond the wall to seize territories. Although they couldn't occupy all territories, Yuan Chu Zhenren and others believed they should obtain most, as everything used for expanding territories was contributed by the Taichu Sect.

Of course, the so-called contributions for expansion solely consisted of Ye Tianfan's Chaos Treasure Lotus, not even requiring the Chaos Divine Pearl.

Hearing Yuan Chu Zhenren, Taichu Zhenren smiled, "We will certainly claim the major share, but the exact division needs to be discussed with all the Sects contributing their power. Sometimes territories are divided based on contributions. Moreover, we are still unaware of the exact situation beyond the wall. Therefore, certain matters must be agreed upon with all Sects before advancing beyond the wall, or discussing them after conquering territories will undoubtedly provoke internal wars within our cultivation world. If internal wars arise, it's likely the territories conquered will again be seized by the beings beyond the wall."

Upon hearing Taichu Zhenren, Zhi Chu Zhenren nodded, stating, "I believe this time our Taichu Sect should be responsible for all logistical supplies. We can clear out some accumulated elixirs that have been stored for too long, and if left unused, will start losing efficacy. This way, during the final settlement, we might secure more territories."

Upon hearing Zhi Chu Zhenren, Yuan Chu Zhenren also said, "For our Taiqi Peak, there are too many excessive Magical Treasures. If we can take over logistics, then we can process these with a Magical Treasure, ultimately increasing our contribution during the final settlement, a win-win."

The other heads nodded with smiles, but Tian Chu Zhenren secretly shook his head. Unlike the other heads who only learned today, he had been contemplating since the day before what they might encounter once involved in this matter.

The Taichu Sect was already a major player, as these conditions originated from Ye Tianfan, who belonged to the Taichu Sect, so the credit must be attributed to the Sect.

If logistics were also taken over, other Sects would have no chance to claim any credit. If region allocations were based on such contributions, at least eighty percent of territories would belong to the Taichu Sect. Doing so, while making the Sect gain abundant resources beyond the wall, would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the internal Sects.

Major Sects might endure, but those minor Sects, unafraid and determined, could unite as a formidable force. Thus, Tian Chu Zhenren believed logistics should be divided out, even to multiple Sects handling it jointly. Even during the final credit calculation, these credits wouldn't consolidate onto a single Sect but would be divided among several Sects.

This way, no single Sect would gain excessive resources, keeping their development from accelerating too rapidly.

This strategy benefits by limiting other Sects' development speed, ensuring the Taichu Sect maintains dominance.
