BXBX NOVEL Chapter 861: Meeting in the Council Hall
Hearing this, Jiang Chengxuan and the others essentially understood the
situation.
Essentially, this was akin to pioneering a new world, except that the stakes were significantly higher, and the competition far more intense.
“Right Shifu, do all our righteous forces still have no clear understanding of the new world’s major rivers, mountains, and precious resource sites? Do we need to explore them bit by bit?”
Xie Xiangyao suddenly raised this question, prompting Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, and Zhao Tianfan to turn their attention towards Qin Shenwu.
Indeed.
Given the capabilities of each faction, having discovered such a world, it would be unlikely for them to know nothing about it.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have confirmed it as a new world comparable in scale and level to their Celestial Floodgate Realm.
Qin Shenwu confirmed their thoughts.
As expected, the various super forces and overlord forces within the Celestial Floodgate Realm had some understanding of the new world, including certain precious resource sites and mineral vein locations.
The reason the sect had convened everyone was precisely for these matters.
The sect would share what it knew with the chosen cultivators, whose task would then be to swiftly claim these locations and establish protective arrays on behalf of their sect.
Only after setting up their sect’s protective arrays would other sects and families acknowledge the location as belonging to them.
Otherwise, even if their people were already there, without a protective array, the area would still be open to contestation.
Hearing Qin Shenwu’s explanation, everyone finally had a clear understanding of their mission for the trip.
‘■Of course, with the new world being so vast, there are undoubtedly many excellent locations that remain undiscovered by us.
These places and the resources they contain will require you to explore and
secure.
This is also an important task for you upon entering the new world,” Qin Shenwu added.
With that, Qin Shenwu looked around at everyone and finally said with a smile, “Alright, that’s the gist of it. Head to the sect’s council hall for the detailed arrangements and specifics.
Sect Master Xue will provide you with more detailed information at that time.” Jiang Chengxuan and the others exchanged glances, nodded in agreement, and, after paying their respects to Qin Shenwu, left his cave abode.
After departing from Qin Shenwu’s cave abode, the group looked at each other and, without hesitation, made their way towards the council hall.
After a while.
As Jiang Chengxuan and his group entered the council hall, they found it already filled with many familiar faces, including Elders Yuan Feng, Chi Yan, Wen Tao, and others.
“Shifu,” Jiang Anran suddenly emerged from the crowd, approaching Jiang Chengxuan and the others.
Several fellow Haoran Sect disciples accompanied her, all of whom quickly bowed in greeting upon seeing Jiang Chengxuan and his companions.
“Greetings, Elder Jiang, Elder Shen, Elder Xie, Elder Zhao.”
Jiang Chengxuan smiled and nodded in response.
Then, his and Shen Ruyan’s attention turned to Jiang Anran. After the recent war between the righteous and demonic paths, Jiang Aman’s cultivation had reached the verge of breaking through to Void Returning. It seemed it wouldn’t be long before she made the breakthrough.
“Anran, you’ll stay with us for a while,” Jiang Chengxuan said. Glancing at the disciples surrounding Jiang Anran, he added, “If your fellow disciples wish, they are welcome to join us as well.”
“Really?”
“Really?” Their faces lit up with surprise and delight.
They were all aware of the standing Jiang Chengxuan held within the Haoran Sect.
Rumors suggested his strength was now comparable to that of a Dao integration cultivator, with several demonic saints reportedly having fallen by his hand.
To be in the company of such a prominent figure promised a bright future. Jiang Anran felt touched by this gesture, understanding that her Shifu was doing this partly for her sake, helping her foster reliable companions. After all, having supportive friends by one’s side could make the journey ahead smoother, regardless of the path taken.
After exchanging greetings with some familiar sect members and finding their seats, it wasn’t long before Sect Master Xue Ping, Supreme Elder Leng Yuehua, Supreme Elder Saint Zenith, and others arrived in the council hall one after another.
Their presence immediately quieted the previously noisy hall as everyone’s attention shifted towards Xue Ping, Long Yuehua, and the other high-ranking sect leaders.
At this moment, Sect Master Xue Ping was the first to speak.
“Having convened everyone here, some of you might already guess the reason.
Indeed, this assembly is about the new world.”
Sect Master Xue then reiterated the importance of exploring the new world and competing for territories within it to those present.
The audience initially reacted with surprise and confusion but soon displayed excitement.
Clearly, everyone understood the potential opportunities lying in an unexplored new world.
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that this exploration could be a life-changing opportunity for some attendees.
Securing rare and precious items could catapult someone to unprecedented heights.
Sect Master Xue continued, highlighting the precautions and rules to be followed in the new world, echoing the information Qin Shenwu had shared with Jiang Chengxuan and the others.
Finally, Xue Ping looked around at everyone and slowly said, -Now, does anyone have any thoughts or wish to opt out of this mission? If so, feel free to stand up now. The sect will not blame you for your decision. However, if anyone disobeys orders, acts recklessly, or violates commands after entering the new world, don’t blame the sect for being ruthless.
Such individuals will not be treated leniently.
After his statement, Sect Master Xue and the others waited for a while, but no one stood up to withdraw from the mission..
