Chapter 1073 - 1173: Summoning the World

Moreover, if one wishes to completely eradicate the magic path, inevitably many sects of justice will transform back into the magic path.

There is justice and there is evil. As the saying goes, solitary yin does not grow, solitary yang does not survive; if all evil is defeated, then some people among the righteous will gradually become depraved and slowly turn into the new evil.

Of course, this is not the true reason why they don't completely eliminate the magic path. The real reason is that if they truly eradicate the magic path, the existence of the people they've fought for would be questioned. At that time, they would retreat from the world, becoming legends and ignoring worldly affairs. But if a new magic path arises then, they won't be able to quickly eliminate it, resulting in a longer period for those in the magic path to roam free and cause more harm.

What's more, some small sects are devoted to eliminating the magic path as their lifelong mission. If the magic path is completely eliminated, they would fall into confusion, not knowing what to do next. At this very time, it is the most dangerous, because once people become idle, they start causing trouble. If these small sects start to make trouble, they, being part of the path of justice, could likely face the blame of all people under heaven, causing the entire righteous path to fall into chaos.

At this moment, in the Taichu Hall, Taichu Zhenren and others discussed until the end. Although the matters they discussed greatly aligned with the Taichu Sect's values, enhancing the strength of the Taichu Sect, it's not something that can be implemented just because it's planned. There are many other considerations, as other sects are not naïve. The division of logistics and supplies requires the consent of several sects, or else even if the Taichu Sect splits the logistics and supply tasks, but one sect accepts them all, then the separation would have no significance.

Moreover, other sects aren't foolish; they won't sit idly by as the Taichu Sect grows stronger and surpasses them.

Ye Tianfan also has a premonition that during this great event, many small sects will merge together to form new sects in order to resist these major sects. In this great event, sects like the Taichu Sect will gain more resources, and their overall strength will experience rapid growth.

Although those small sects will also obtain more resources, no matter how much they gain, it won't be significant, because they are small sects. Being small sects means having fewer members, which implies they won't contribute much in this major event; thus, these resources may be substantial for them but not enough for a major sect like Taichu Sect to divide among several people.

Therefore, those small sects will need to consolidate, because if they fall too far behind major sects, a situation may arise where a major sect can easily dispatch one person to annihilate such small sects. By then, these small sects would struggle to recruit, severing their inheritance.

It's crucial to realize that even small sects have their lineages; no one wants to sever their heritage. So, they might combine several lineages into one, forming new inheritance; it's not really cutting off their inheritance, just merging their heritage with other sects. This way, even if everyone from the original sect perishes, their inheritance remains. Moreover, this merging can make the newly formed sect appear prosperous, enabling them to acquire more resources and sway ordinary people.

In this manner, more people can be recruited, even though individuals with true talent have been recruited by major sects, not everyone is taken away, and some talented individuals unnoticed by major sects remain. These small sects mostly recruit those who didn't pass the major sects' tests.

Though having this approach expands the capabilities of small sects relative to major sects, if they don't recruit these people, they wouldn't find anyone at all. After all, taking part in the major sects' trials suggests some talent—even if they weren't eliminated immediately—since these talents don't meet the major sects' standards, they can only be absorbed by these small sects.

This is why small sects have harbored resentment towards major sects for a long time. As mentioned before, if the magic path is completely eradicated, then they would start to act disruptively.

After Taichu Zhenren and others finished their discussion, they instructed everyone to go back and prepare. Later, Taichu Zhenren began to announce this matter to the entire world. Such major events requiring everyone to come to Taichu Sect were extremely troublesome, not only due to the number of people involved, but also because of geographical locations—some arrive early, others arrive late. Regardless of timing, Taichu Sect cannot neglect them because the first sect must exhibit the vibe befitting the first sect under heaven. Therefore, given the large number of people and disparate opinions, ensuring no conflicts arise will test Taichu Sect. This time, all sects must send representatives, unless someone voluntarily forfeits the event.

But once the matter is made clear, presumably, no sect would want to abandon such a chance to double their sect's strength. As long as efforts are made, when calculating contributions, resource rewards of extremely high quality are promised. It's not just about giving a little and calling it done. As we roughly estimate the land and resources beyond the walls, they are thousands of times more than inside the wall. Once purified by the Chaos Treasure Lotus, given that the resources beyond the walls have remained untouched for thousands of years, they've been growing independently. After all, those who thrive beyond have no need for materials, just absorbing Demonic Qi and Evil Qi is sufficient.

Thus, the resources accumulated over the years are practically endless for those within the wall, awaiting their extraction. Previously, they lacked the opportunity, but now, they have it.

After returning to Taihuo Peak, Ye Tianfan patiently awaits. Soon, the Taichu Sect is set to summon sect leaders from across the world to Taichu Sect for a conference. Ye Tianfan is waiting to greet them upon arrival, though it's possible he may not be chosen to welcome them. Ye Tianfan's task is to present the Magical Treasure once everyone has gathered. Of course, Ye Tianfan will not appear personally, simply displaying the Magical Treasure. Recently, this treasure has become too miraculous; revealing both Ye Tianfan and the treasure could jeopardize safety in the future.
