Chapter Thirteen: Six Messages
Qu Yi appeared in person and declared that he was indeed the leader of the Three Tripod Gate.
Everyone was shocked, with expressions of disbelief, as if the entire Taiyuan Mountain was part of a dreamlike world.
Hundreds of millions of cultivators immediately realized the truth—Qu Yi, who had once been wanted throughout the cultivation world, was now the leader of the Three Tripod Gate, which had unified it.
Soon, all the cultivators around Taiyuan Mountain looked up at the mountain’s peak in silence.
Whether they believed it or not no longer mattered; the cultivation world was now under the control of the Three Tripod Gate, and Qu Yi, as its leader, held absolute power over it. Thus, these cultivators understood clearly that anyone who dared question Qu Yi would not survive. Therefore, all these hundreds of millions of cultivators accepted this fact without hesitation and obeyed Qu Yi’s orders.
Qu Yi’s spiritual awareness covered all the cultivators, sensing their emotions and confirming that they had resolved their doubts on their own.
Smiling, Qu Yi said, “Fellow cultivators of the Three Tripod Gate, today marks the official establishment of our gate and the beginning of our governance over the cultivation world. Looking back at the past of the cultivation world, it has always been filled with conflicts and chaos, all resulting from the struggles among various forces. From today onward, the Three Tripod Gate will govern the cultivation world. All cultivators and resources will belong to us, allowing us to allocate them as needed, thereby avoiding conflicts among cultivators and creating a peaceful environment for cultivation. Today, in addition to my assumption of leadership, I also announce the seven vice-leaders of the Three Tripod Gate: Tai Ming, Ying Hua, Jin Xiong, Cang Huang, Qing Long, Tu Long, and Shui Long.”
At these words, a wave of astonished cries erupted around Taiyuan Mountain.
The cultivators were impressed by Qu Yi’s explanation of the purpose behind establishing the Three Tripod Gate—everything was meant to prevent conflicts and killings in the cultivation world. Of course, they had no idea of Qu Yi’s true intentions.
Tai Ming, Ying Hua, Jin Xiong, Cang Huang, Qing Long, Tu Long, and Shui Long immediately responded in unison, “We obey, Leader.”
Qu Yi merely smiled and then said softly, “The former Immortal Path Alliance and Demon Path Alliance will henceforth be collectively called the Merchant Alliance, an organization under the Three Tripod Gate responsible for managing all transactions in the cultivation world.”
Wow!
Qu Yi’s words once again sent shockwaves through the hearts of all the cultivators, causing widespread astonishment.
San Ding Men controls all the cultivation resources, which makes it easier to oversee cultivators on various planets. After all, it’s impossible to find all the ingredients for pills or materials for crafting on every planet. Undoubtedly, if cultivators need certain materials, they must turn to the merchant alliance, thus allowing San Ding Men to monitor their cultivation progress.
Qu Yi waited for a while until all the exclamations ceased, then said softly, “From now on, except for those who have reached the Tribulation stage, no cultivator may leave their planet at will. Those who have reached the Mahayana stage must immediately come to Liu Pan Star, where San Ding Men will provide Origin Stones to help them transform their physical bodies into Origin Bodies.”
Wow!
This announcement also sparked exclamations. Undoubtedly, this rule limits the mobility of cultivators, forcing them to gradually improve their strength—moving from small planets to medium-sized ones, then to large ones. Only after reaching the Tribulation stage can they move freely throughout the cultivation world.
Once the surroundings quieted down, Qu Yi continued, “On every cultivation planet in the cultivation world, a San Ding Tower will be erected as San Ding Men’s power center on that planet. Only the top 100 strongest cultivators on each planet can enter the San Ding Tower to cultivate, receiving full support from San Ding Men and priority access to various resources.”
After saying this, Qu Yi produced a San Ding Tower to give all cultivators an idea of what it looked like.
Wow!
The hundreds of millions of cultivators around Tai Yuan Men once again exclaimed in shock.
Even the smallest cultivation planets have tens of thousands of cultivators, yet only the top 100 can enter San Ding Men and receive its full support. The competition must be incredibly fierce.
Once the surroundings quieted down again, Qu Yi continued, “All cultivation techniques from various planets in the cultivation world will be collected in the San Ding Tower, allowing cultivators on different planets to learn from each other, improve their techniques, and accelerate their strength growth.”
Wow!
More exclamations followed. The voices of hundreds of millions of cultivators created a strong wind that roared loudly.
By collecting all cultivation techniques from the entire cultivation world, San Ding Men can incorporate the best techniques, thereby enhancing the strength of its disciples and further solidifying its dominance.
Qu Yi waited until the surroundings fell quiet again, then smiled and said, “Disciples of the Three Tripods Sect, around the Three Tripods Towers on each planet, there must be a law enforcement team to suppress rebellious cultivators on those planets. At the same time, I will establish a surveillance team on each planet, which will operate in secret to monitor the cultivators and disciples of the Three Tripods Sect. Those rebellious cultivators and traitors within the sect will be secretly executed.”
Whoa!
Another wave of astonishing exclamations erupted. The cultivators felt a heavy sense of oppression—their cultivation lives would now be under strict surveillance.
Qu Yi intended this rule to prevent certain cultivators on each planet from forming their own groups to secretly undermine the stability of the Three Tripods Sect.
Qu Yi announced six more matters, all related to the future governance of the cultivation world by the Three Tripods Sect, each time provoking bursts of astonishment. All of this was done by Qu Yi to strengthen the sect’s rule. In this way, the cultivators on various planets could focus on cultivating and mastering different energy attributes. Qu Yi could then gather and integrate these attributes to uncover the true five-element energy attributes.
Although these six announcements had no direct connection to faith, they were essential foundations for Qu Yi to gain the trust of cultivators across the cultivation world.
One must first establish rule before employing methods to earn the faith of cultivators.
Therefore, on the top of Taiyuan Mountain, Qu Yi first announced these six matters to solidify the Three Tripods Sect’s rule. Only afterward would he seek ways to win the faith of cultivators throughout the cultivation world.
With faith, Qu Yi could obtain what the cultivators had achieved by mastering the five-element energies.
After waiting for hundreds of millions of cultivators around Taiyuan Mountain to quiet down, Qu Yi spoke calmly again, “Fellow cultivators, today marks the establishment of the Three Tripods Sect, signaling the beginning of a new chapter for our cultivation world. From now on, I hope all cultivators here will focus on their cultivation, striving to ascend to the higher realms and achieve immortality.”
“Long live the sect leader!” The disciples of the Three Tripods Sect on Taiyuan Mountain shouted in unison.
However, the cultivators from various planets grew somewhat displeased, as they would now be confined to just one planet.
Qu Yi smiled, then waved his hand to silence the crowd before saying, “Disciples of the Three Tripods Sect, stay behind. The rest of you, please leave Taiyuan Mountain immediately. What follows are internal affairs of the Three Tripods Sect.”
A celebration ceremony was held for the monks to watch. But the internal affairs of the San Ding Gate could, of course, only be attended by its own disciples.
Soon, tens of millions of monks took to the air and left Tai Yuan Mountain.
Millions of San Ding Gate disciples remained on Tai Yuan Mountain.
