Chapter 387: Chapter 219: Mahayana Xuanzhen Sect_2

"Rest and recuperation, recruiting Loose Cultivators, we plan to establish corresponding management systems, then spread the ’Great Heavenly Immortal Technique’ to all Cultivators in the world to suppress the Knowledge Calamity," Yun Yu understood that personal calamities pertained to individuals, but the Slaughter Calamity triggered by the Knowledge Calamity would affect the entire Xuanji Realm.

"Alright, that definitely needs to be done, but I must remind the Sect Leader that you need to be swift. Don’t take three to five thousand years to deploy a strategy. The sect’s deficits can’t withstand that long," Gu Shanhai cautioned. Those in the Peeping Dao Stage are fine with everything, except their sense of time is exceedingly off.

"Rest assured, I have accurate plans for that." Yun Yu was indeed well aware of the internal state of the Chengyun Sect; as the primary executor, he was all too clear about both the financial situation and the casualties.

Over the years, the casualties among the Chengyun Sect’s Disciples had been significant, especially in the Lower Three Realms, with nearly forty percent dead, and almost thirty percent in the Middle Three Realms. In contrast, those in the Upper Three Realms, rough-skinned and tenacious, had suffered less than ten percent fatalities.

More deaths occurred in the early stages when they lacked Gu Shanhai’s hot weapons and small-sized Mechas for assistance. They truly relied on sheer numbers and were still overwhelmed by the enemy, resulting in heavy casualties.

If only Disciples had died, it would have been one thing, but the common people suffered as well, and the population had significantly reduced. To recover, it would be necessary to implement specific policies to encourage childbirth.

"There’s one more thing. Our Chengyun Sect is planning to change its name. Now that we are the foremost in the world, the name must match our status. Do you have any suggestions?" Yun Yu also sought Gu Shanhai’s opinion.

It wasn’t that he was unwilling to consult with the Supreme Elder, but someone had suggested the name ’God Slaying Sect,’ which shockingly received unanimous praise. This almost made Yun Yu faint. What kind of name was that for a sect? Gu Shanhai’s casually proposed Five Elements Sect was far more reliable.

"You’re asking me? Guess why my Five Elements Sect is called that?" Gu Shanhai retorted.

He himself couldn’t be bothered naming his own sect, sticking with the exceedingly perfunctory ’Five Elements Sect.’ To ask him for a name, when to this day Little White was still called Little White, sometimes he even felt like might as well call it ’High-Speed Deer,’ to save the trouble of thinking up a name.

"..." Yun Yu was at a loss for words, feeling that spending too much time with Gu Shanhai made one’s brain prone to malfunction, which is why he had even asked Gu Shanhai about naming. Perhaps a moment of inspiration would strike Gu Shanhai, but for him, it just led to confusion.

"I’ll come up with the name myself. Just remember to bring your books. Leave Shen An with me, I’ll take good care of him. Look at that homework, could it be anything done by a human?" Yun Yu suggested that he get lost and go make his breakthrough. Once he reached the Peeping Dao Stage, he would then figure out how to pass the Sect Leader position to Gu Shanhai.

"Shen An still needs to establish his foundation with me," Gu Shanhai said. "For him, cultivation is not important; knowledge is more crucial. When he turns twenty, then come to take him away. By the way, arrange some experiences for him to broaden his horizons."

"Don’t even think about getting me to take over your position for you. You bring up Shen An yourself."

Gu Shanhai was clear about it.

"Shen An is still young, he can’t be like you..."

"His talent is indeed good, but it still falls far short compared to mine. He can uphold what’s already there but lacks innovation," Gu Shanhai knew what Yun Yu was trying to do. He wanted Shen An to become like him, a research-oriented talent, especially skilled in cultivating Techniques and Divine Skills.

But as the saying goes, ’what’s evident at three is still true at eighty,’ Gu Shanhai had already tried hard to pull Shen An towards that path, but Shen An was just that, Shen An. He was neither a Level One Mecha Researcher like Shen Heng, nor was he an exceptional existence like Gu Shanhai.

Since that was unachievable, the only option was to lay a good foundation, and the rest was up to Shen An himself.

Yun Yu reserved his opinion regarding Gu Shanhai’s view. What else could he do? He knew little about Shen An, only that he had great talent in cultivation.

Shen An’s cultivation talent stemmed from the unique Divine Skills formed by the "Great Heavenly Immortal Technique" and the soul inheritance from his father, which amplified his cultivation, but research relied not just on talent, but also on the right mindset, among other things.

In other words, Shen An excelled at becoming stronger, not at researching how he became stronger.

"That’s also good, maybe I can retire a few years earlier," Yun Yu’s comment was rather vague; if Shen An proved capable, then letting him become the next Sect Leader wouldn’t be an issue. If not, there would be no reason for him to ascend to that position.

Gu Shanhai wasn’t worried about Shen An’s abilities in this regard. As long as his foundation was solid, after being thrown out to refine for thirty to fifty years, he would undoubtedly return exceedingly mature.

"This trip is going to take you at least fifty years before you can return, should I continue to send the relevant data and intelligence directly to you?" Yun Yu asked another question.

Considering the vastness of the Spirit Vein in Hualong Mountain, Gu Shanhai’s conservative estimate was already fifty years to fully incorporate it into his body.

"Is it really that troublesome? Haven’t you seen the several new Spiritual Vein Secret Methods added to our sect recently?" Gu Shanhai complained.

He had received the legacy of Shen Heng, which included a technique called "Locking Mountain Spell," capable of locking down a Spirit Vein to expedite assimilation, and he had innovated based on this technique.

"I haven’t seen them; there have been quite a few more recently." Yun Yu spoke the truth. After the Juxia Sect and the Feather Transformation Sect were annihilated, all of their legacies fell into Chengyun Sect’s hands, and Gu Shanhai was currently reviewing the inheritance from the Juxia Sect.

"How much faster can it be?" Yun Yu inquired.

"I’m not sure about others, but in my case, probably around five years should be enough." Gu Shanhai replied.

Incorporating the Spirit Vein was just one step in breaking through to the Spirit Origin Stage, not the entirety. The cultivation process during the Spirit Origin Stage involved refining and assimilating the Spirit Vein within the body, which required an even longer time.

"Five years? You’re basically just knocking a zero off my estimate, aren’t you." Yun Yu made a sarcastic remark.

"More or less, there will indeed be some time difference, but it can’t be that much different." Gu Shanhai had also compared the data from the Spirit Vein in Hualong Mountain before he dared to make a boast about the time.

Normally, he didn’t exaggerate; he was realistic, unless it was necessary to bluff, then he’d speak freely.

"As long as you’re confident, that’s all that matters. But you still need to handle the affairs you’re supposed to handle, don’t think you can get out of it by changing the subject." Yun Yu switched gears, understanding Gu Shanhai’s thoughts perfectly—he simply wanted to shirk his duties.

If Yun Yu could handle it, he would have taken care of it alongside Gu Shanhai, but since the projects and intelligence were proposed by Gu Shanhai himself, others might not be able to take over easily. So, Gu Shanhai couldn’t escape remote work.

"I thought you had skipped over that subject; didn’t expect you still remembered." Gu Shanhai muttered, might as well handle it, it wasn’t a big problem anyway.

In truth, most things were already on the right track and didn’t require Gu Shanhai’s attention. Everything was just getting started, and Gu Shanhai had to keep an eye on some data for the time being, waiting for the subsequent training of technical personnel before he could step away.

His role was relatively easy now, not requiring direct front-line involvement, and someone else was handling what could be handled. Only the truly intractable matters would come to him through Chengyun Sect.

"Alright, I’ve got things to do as well, so I won’t keep chatting with you." Yun Yu would be otherwise busy if not for seeing Gu Shanhai free.

As he stood up, Yun Yu suddenly spoke up, having come up with a good name.

"How about we rename our sect to Mahayana Xuanzhen Sect?"

"Great Mahayana Truth, profound and ultimately true!"

Gu Shanhai liked the name and nodded, "I have no objections, just do as you say. After all, a name for me is just a title."

"Why don’t you just rename the whole Xuanji Realm as well, change it to Xuanzhen Realm, wouldn’t that be wonderful to name it after our sect?" Gu Shanhai was unreserved and spoke his mind.

"That makes sense, you certainly have bigger ambitions than I do, let’s rename Xuanji Realm to Xuanzhen Realm." Yun Yu pondered how his own vision was too small, unlike Gu Shanhai who wanted to rename the entire world directly.
