Cultivation Alliance

There were only about 20 sects on the continent. The attack on the capital was led by the 3 most powerful of them. Now that the continent was free from the royal family's control, it was necessary to establish a new order.

After deliberation, the 3 sects decided to create the cultivation alliance. Its role was to monitor the cultivation world of the continent and register the sects. The alliance was naturally controlled by the 3 sects.

As for the empire, it was decided to demote it to a mortal dynasty. A family of non-cultivators was designated as the new royal family, and cultivators above the innate level were forbidden to intervene in any political matters.

During the conference, many sects decided to form some alliances. After all, the next era would see the rise of several new sects, and in order to maintain their prominence, alliances were necessary. As for Di Tian, he only signed some non-aggression treaties with some sects.

After the registration of his sect with the cultivation alliance, he decided to set off.

"Next, there will be a battle of territories."

Indeed, now that the empire had been demoted to a mortal dynasty, it was the best opportunity for those sects to extend their influence. Years later, when the continent was dominated by thousands of sects, they would be known as the 20 ancient holy lands.

"However, I already have a vast territory. Now I need to reinforce the entry to the sect. Furthermore, I need some facilities to train my body."

"I will mobilize the sect's resources to create a Five Element Tower. Inside it, several dangerous environments will be emulated."

"With that, I will be able to train my body to the level of mountain destruction."

100 years later.

"Finally, I can train my body."

During those 100 years, the twenty sects extended their territories like crazy. Only the Star Seeking Sect did not participate. As such, the sect obtained a certain aloof status, not participating in mundane disputes. Di Tian managed to reach the 6th level of the Spirit Realm. This kind of speed that outmatched Di Yu's was only natural.

The Absolute Beginning Sea in his life sea was able to provide him with an extremely high-quality true essence, making his cultivation rise steadily.

According to Di Tian's calculation, he should be able to reach the peak of the Spirit Realm before the age of 800. That would give him more than 4200 years to transcend.

During those hundred years, the sect flourished slowly. Now all the elders were in the Spirit Realm, while most of the disciples were in the Innate Realm.

The disciples' organization also changed, with now a mountain for each realm of cultivation: Acquire, Innate 1st Heaven, 2nd Heaven, and 3rd Heaven. Finally, disciples who achieved the Spirit Realm could claim a mountain on their own.

Each disciple who did not attain the innate level before the age of 60 was demoted to a disciple of the Acquire Mountain. The same applied to the innate disciples, with 10 more years on each level. Those at the 3rd heaven of innate and more than a hundred years old were demoted to disciples of the two sectarian mountains.

Spirit Realm disciples would be promoted to elders once they were 200 years old. As for the sect's leadership, it was decided by vote, and each head could only rule for 500 years. After that, they would become a Supreme Elder. The Great Elder could also become a Supreme Elder after reaching the 5th level of innate. The Great Elder was the officially strongest elder. Now,

Di Tian had been sect head for 123 years, which meant he would have to pass on his role in 350 years.

All the sect elders were, in fact, waiting for him to step down. In 50 years, these elders would try to train some spirit geniuses with all their might. After all, having a sect head from their faction would be beneficial.

Yes, with time, factions had already been formed. However, Di Tian did not intervene. As long as the sect's rules were respected, it was up to them to form their own cliques.

The strongest faction was undoubtedly the Great Elders. Not only did he have 3 students who were expected to become elders, but he also had most of the sectarian disciples on his side. On top of that, the chief elder of the Task Impartation Mountain was in his faction. Mountains were managed by elders and disciples. The elder with the most authority was named the chief elder. In a way, the current Great Elder was more popular than Di Tian who was not only the sect leader but also the founder. However, the Great Elder remained humble. Not only out of gratitude but also because he could feel the latter's aura of power.

250 years later. Star Seeking Sect. Body Training Tower.

Currently, on the bottom layer of the tower, a man was bathing in magma.

"The limit of mountain destruction. One punch can destroy a mountain. This time is really addictive."

"However, if I want to reach continental destruction, I must wait until I transcend. At that time, I will be able to travel back and forth to other continents in order to use their environments to train."

"With the current resources, if I continue to refine my body, I will have to endure at least 4000 years to reach continental destruction, which is not cost-effective."

The man was naturally Di Tian. In 200 years, he was already on the verge of reaching the 8th level of innate. Coupled with his physical realm, he was already one of the strongest beings on the continent. In fact, only those at the half-step transcendent level were stronger than him.

At the same time, the Great Elder was facing a 12-year-old.

"Proud Wei, you are a born spirit, so I have great expectations for you."

"You have to train hard so that you become the new sect head and enjoy glory for 500 years. After all, our Star Seeking Sect is one of the strongest sects in this region and one of the 10 great sects on the continent."

In reality, the sect was in the top 5. However, Di Tian advocated a low-key approach, so the sect had never shown its full potential.

(Finally, with the initial phase of the novel set, we will move on to other characters, and I hope the world-building will please.)
