Chapter 332: Chapter 192: The Extremes of Heaven and Earth, Coming with the Mandate

Days went by, and Gu Shanhai had calmly perfected the remaining thirty-five transformations, and then he began researching how to achieve the ultimate transformation.

Currently, the 36 Transformations and the 72 Transformations had been successfully promoted throughout the Chengyun Sect; those in the Middle Three Realms practiced the 72 Transformations, while those in the Upper Three Realms studied the 36 Transformations.

The Lower Three Realms didn’t need them because they hadn’t experienced calamity.

During this time, Gu Shanhai had smoothly advanced to the late stage of Qi Refinement, which was quite a significant progress.

The Juxia Sect and the Feather Transformation Sect had also spent a great cost to obtain the trial versions of two techniques for disaster avoidance and calamity evasion from the Chengyun Sect.

Correspondingly, Gu Shanhai had obtained quite some benefits; besides various cultivation resources, there were many secret techniques, land contracts, and a series of fixed assets.

However, Gu Shanhai didn’t handle these himself, except for the secret techniques and some cultivation resources, the rest were either converted into contribution points to issue tasks for the sect disciples to help him find Spirit Plants, or managed by the sect, yielding dividends annually.

Gu Shanhai didn’t care about these benefits; while substantial for a Loose Cultivator, they were merely a subsidy for someone of his high status and significance within the core members.

Just Little White’s monthly food expenses consumed more resources than this subsidy.

Besides Little White, there were also Gu Shanhai’s Azure Dragon, his daily cultivation expenses, and so forth; even if he only used the strength from the Qi Refinement Stage, he could compare with those in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Even the Juxia and Feather Transformation Sect didn’t much care about these resources; as powerful sect families, it was more about maintaining face than practicality, for if they truly suited their needs, Yun Yu would have made these two sects pay dearly, not just play small tricks.

"Tsck, perfecting this transformation technique is truly challenging. Have there been any interesting events in the sect recently?" Gu Shanhai stretched lazily; his research on the ultimate transformation was progressing smoothly, and by his estimation, he would succeed within ten years.

"What interesting things could there be? It’s the same old stuff, not as interesting as mortals, always either comprehending or cultivating," replied a Supreme Elder, somewhat listlessly.

"Ah, you see it that clearly?" Gu Shanhai responded with slight surprise to the elder’s attitude.

"Once you reach the Peeping Dao Stage, you’ll understand. Many things are but fleeting clouds," the elder replied.

Gu Shanhai scratched his head; it wasn’t even midnight, and it wasn’t the time for depressive music.

"There are some interesting things. Recently, many Loose Cultivators have come seeking the disaster avoidance and calamity evasion techniques, and some are even willing to join the sect for this." another elder spoke up.

"Ah, there isn’t much we can do if they join, unless they switch to our Chengyun Sect’s Cultivation Techniques; otherwise, forcefully practicing could lead to problems," Gu Shanhai pondered what sort of interesting event this was.

They think switching is just changing techniques? They would have to erase their foundations and start over.

"It’s not impossible; you could modify it a bit," a voice said teasingly.

"They have to be willing first. Didn’t you see both Juxia and the Feather Transformation Sect hesitating? There’s no way these Loose Cultivators would expose their foundations so easily," Gu Shanhai understood their intentions; it was a classic case of trying to have one’s cake and eat it too.

There were two ways to use the method of disaster avoidance and calamity evasion; the first was to switch cultivation techniques, which was far too risky as one might not survive the ordeals and instead be killed by others.

The other method was to have Gu Shanhai help deduce a disaster avoidance and calamity evasion technique suitable for them, but this required them to pass on their cultivation techniques to Gu Shanhai, effectively giving the Chengyun Sect access to these techniques.

That is why Juxia and Feather Transformation Sect didn’t press hard; the conditions were indeed too stringent.

"Never mind, there are only these two methods. If it works, it works; if not, what will they do, attack the Chengyun Sect?" another Supreme Elder spoke up, seemingly indifferent to the Loose Cultivators, more concerned with their own people and not caring about the outside world.

"That’s not quite right. Draw them a big picture, feed them some motivational talk, let them work for a hundred and eighty years or so. By then, I might have developed a universal version," Gu Shanhai corrected the other’s view, believing in long-term planning, as such a prime workforce should not be discarded lightly.

"Yes, exactly. Last time using your method to persuade people, what was it called? Oh, right, ’pumping them up’, it easily swayed a group of mortals, and they’re still excited about it," someone chimed in to support Gu Shanhai.

"..." Gu Shanhai felt these people were definitely getting bored.

Usually, these people were absorbed in cultivation and comprehension, but now, since they were guarding Gu Shanhai, they couldn’t afford distractions, so they could only chat, jest around, or tease the mythical beasts.

Teasing disciples was impossible; with their strength, the disciples were also highly powerful and held positions in the sect, leaving them no time for idling.

In such a vast sect, it was natural to have people handle affairs, and it was exactly because these supreme beings could focus solely on cultivation that they had disciples to take on these duties.
