I make a contract with myself

Chapter 423 Revision of Doctrine

Regarding the disaster and the execution, an old acquaintance is helping, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

Ji Zhuyi, one of the twelve bishops of the Star God Cult, is now all alone.

Years later, 70% of the members still respect Sun Yan as the leader of the Star God Cult, and this woman deserves much credit for that.

No one escaped; all who came were wiped out.

There were three unexpected surprises.

First, one can become rich overnight by looting corpses, and for some time to come, there will be no need to worry about cultivation resources.

Secondly, after this battle, Shadow Commander broke through the bottleneck of his grade, reaching the seventh grade of the first level of the Spirit level, and Sun Yan's cultivation also improved significantly.

Thirdly, there's Lin Xiaoyu. A thrilling battle caused her spiritual energy to surge, and she showed signs of a breakthrough.

But she suppressed it.

Lin Xiaoyu's cultivation has relied entirely on her talent, and she has always cultivated step by step, unlike the others around her who all seem to have cheat codes.

Spiritual level, seventh grade, ninth rank—that's her current cultivation level, higher than Sun Yan's.

However, in terms of combat, the most perfect human is ultimately much stronger than a born Taoist master, since the former's inspiration comes from beyond the heavens, while the latter is merely favored by the ancient spirit world.

To achieve perfection, Lin Xiaoyu naturally had to avoid arrogance and impatience, taking one step at a time and building a solid foundation before making a breakthrough. She couldn't afford to waste such a great talent.

Sun Yan breathed a sigh of relief at this.

Needless to say, the first thing Lin Xiaoyu did after advancing to the eighth rank of the Spirit Realm was to beat him up.

The difference between a seventh-grade Spirit level and an eighth-grade Spirit level is, after all, a difference in grades. Sun Yan alone definitely couldn't defeat him.

In terms of combat strength, due to the difference in physique, Sun Yan might be stronger than his disciple, but the difference would still be limited.

After the battle ended, Sun Yan turned around, waved to Lord Ye, and quickly left.

There was a reason for choosing the area near Hundred Refinement City as the battlefield.

After this battle, Lord Ye might be more determined to make a deal with them.

With the added assistance of the Star God Cult, Sun Yan's originally conservative plan needed to be significantly revised.

After trekking for several days, the group found a safe place.

After they stopped, Sun Yan finally had time to ask some questions: "Didn't the Vice Leader come?"

Ji Zhuyi said calmly, "He has his own ideas."

Sun Yan smiled slightly: "Very well, from now on, you will be the vice leader of the Star God Sect."

Ji Zhuyi hesitated slightly and did not answer.

Sun Yan raised an eyebrow and asked, "What? You don't want to?"

Ji Zhuyi shook her head: "I dare not disobey the leader's orders. I just feel that you don't treat us as your own people."

Sun Yan asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Ji Zhuyi said, "Given the leader's personality, shouldn't he integrate us outsiders into the Nine Springs Palace or the Divine Sword City? As things stand, I have a feeling that the leader might send us to our deaths at any time."

Upon hearing this, Sun Yan glanced at the people around him and saw that although they were expressionless, they were clearly waiting for his answer.

What can Sun Yan say?

You can't just point your finger at them and say they're mentally ill or afraid of corrupting others.

Although this is true...

Sun Yan sighed: "Do you think you can fit in?"

Ji Zhuyi hesitated and said, "If it's the leader's order..."

Sun Yan interrupted her and asked again, "Am I a qualified cult leader?"

Everyone remained silent.

Undoubtedly, it is unqualified.

Neither the doctrines of the Star God Cult nor his personal style of conduct made him fit to be a ruler.

Rather than saying that everyone present was loyal to Sun Yan, it would be more accurate to say that the person they were loyal to was still the former leader, Yi Shan.

The man who changed the world of Gu Ling!

Ji Zhuyi remained silent for a long while, then her tone became blank: "Then we..."

Sun Yan smiled and said, "Just work with me for now. We'll modify the doctrines a bit and then sail together towards the stars."

Someone asked, "Can doctrine be changed?"

Sun Yan laughed heartily: "I am the leader of the sect. If I say it can be changed, it can be changed. It just takes a long time."

"Of course, your support is indispensable."

……

The doctrines of the Star God Cult seem alright, but in reality, they are just somewhat obsessive rules and regulations.

Sun Yan read it through once and didn't make any major changes, but he did make the "Guide to Joining the Religion" a little more humane, striving for mutual respect and removing some of the robber's logic.

Ji Zhuyi read it and said she could accept it.

After all, those who have cultivated to their current level are not fools; it's just that their way of thinking is slightly different from that of normal people.

Lin Xiaoyu sighed softly, feeling depressed, "Should we go straight to Divine Sword City?"

Sun Yan asked in confusion, "You don't seem too happy about it."

Lin Xiaoyu nodded honestly: "With the upgrade of the Four Swords of Zhuxian, it will be even more difficult for me as their master."

Sun Yan was silent for a moment, then comforted him, "Don't worry, it will be a long journey. Not only the Star God Sect, but also the Amazing Swan Alliance will have to make arrangements in advance. It will take at least a year and a half to reach Divine Sword City."

Lin Xiaoyu visibly became happy.

A year or two is enough time for her to advance to the eighth rank of the Spirit level, and she will still be able to beat her disciples into running away with their tails between their legs.

The premise is that the master and apprentice fight one-on-one; they cannot fight her together with the elf.

Ji Zhuyi: "..."

I don't understand, how can someone complain that their apprentice is too strong? Isn't that a good thing?

Ji Zhuyi's cultivation level is the second stage of the eighth rank of the Spirit level, which is indeed a breakthrough compared to before, but she can't even beat Sun Yan when he is at full power.

It has to be said that such an extraordinary life is something ordinary people simply cannot imagine.

Back then, when Lin Xiaoyu faced her, she could barely hold on, relying on those top-tier magical treasures. There was a significant difference in their raw strength.

But now, not to mention combat strength, their cultivation level is almost catching up with mine.

The group consisted of more than three thousand people, forming a grand and imposing procession.

Wherever they go, it's hard to keep a low profile.

Fortunately, not many people knew that the leader was Sun Yan. Everyone just thought that the Star God Cult had been quiet for many years and had made a move again. They paid only a little attention and did not care too much.

The faction, whose members are almost all dead, has been divided up and is unlikely to cause any major trouble.

The Xiaoyao Cave Heaven is an exception.

So many people died, including elders and deacons, who were the backbone of the sect.

Moreover, the few people from the Spirit Absolute Holy Land could still send back messages even at the cost of their lives. They were numerous and stronger, so there was no reason for them to die without knowing why.

However, if this were to break out, it would be a small-scale war.

Moreover, under Sun Yan's instruction, the followers began to learn to understand and help others, which touched some of the independent cultivators, who were all thinking about joining the Star God Cult.

In fact, as time went on, Sun Yan did try to recruit some people.

When given the choice between the Amazing Alliance and the Star God Cult, most people chose the latter.

This is normal. Even the Star God Cult of the past had a less than stellar reputation, and there were requirements for joining. They didn't just accept anyone.

As for the Jinghong Alliance, I've never heard of it.

"Even the original doctrines are nothing compared to the rules of some sects."

These were the newlyweds' exact words, leaving Sun Yan both amused and exasperated.

It turns out that the Ancient Spirit World has never changed. Whether the doctrines are changed or not is actually not important. It's better to show off your strength.

With great power, you can justify whatever you do, because there will always be great scholars to defend you.
