Liu Qianhuan pinched her chin as she pondered this question.
She finally gave a reply after much thought. “I’d be lying to myself if I said it isn’t worth a dime to me. After all, aside from intrinsic factors, cultivation is also very much dependent on extrinsic factors such as resources. With my aptitude, I would definitely be nurtured as the next sect leader in line should I return to the sect, so I definitely would not be lacking in resources.”
An Lin nodded. Liu Qianhuan was the most talented cultivator within the Heavenly Sword Sect of the Kingdom of the Nine States, and she was also the daughter of the Sect Leader, Liu Mingxuan, so there would be essentially no resource unavailable to her.
The Heavenly Sword Sect was a super sect that was one of the four great sects of the Kingdom of the Nine States, as well as a renowned sect across the entire continent. With her aptitude, her best option would be to return to her sect if she wanted to improve her cultivation base.
“However, you don’t want to go back to your sect because there is no love there…” An Lin was confused, and he asked, “How cold could a sect be? Everyone prioritizes cultivation as their main objective, and they can do whatever they want once they become powerful enough, isn’t that how it goes in all sects?”
A light smile appeared on Liu Qianhuan’s face. “You don’t understand. A person that came from a lonely place would never want to return to that lonely environment. Of course, the ideal situation would be that the sect would be willing to expend all their resources to nurture me even if I don’t return to the sect.”
An Lin’s expression darkened. “What a beautiful dream!”
Liu Qianhuan poked a finger from each hand onto each corresponding cheek in an adorable display. “I’m a beautiful person, so my dreams are naturally beautiful as well!”
An Lin was speechless.
“If you’re not desperately in need of resources, then you can just leave the sect hanging for now. After all, what’s yours is yours, and no one can take it away from you,” An Lin suggested after some thought.
A resigned expression appeared on Liu Qianhuan’s face. “That man said that he can accept it if I don’t return to the sect for now, but he prohibits me from becoming a member of the Heavenly Court. You know this as well; entry into the Heavenly Court necessitates an oath of loyalty to be sworn, after which it would be extremely difficult for one to go back to one’s own sect.”
This was actually an issue that was plaguing countless students; to join the Heavenly Court or to return to their own sect. This was a very difficult decision. There were people who ran back and forth between the Heavenly Court and their own sect, but those were usually just fringe members whom the Heavenly Court were definitely not going to bestow any real opportunities upon.
Those who had a chance to receive the real opportunities had to pledge their loyalty to the Heavenly Court in order to become one of its core members.
if Liu Qianhuan couldn’t become one of the Heavenly Court’s core members, then there was no point to her staying here. She might as well go out and travel the world.
However, not everyone was a protagonist who could receive countless opportunities out of the blue.
It was always beneficial for growth to have the resources of an entire sect at one’s disposal.
“Liu Qianhuan, you’re too powerful, to the extent that you won’t be willing to join any ordinary sword sect as their patriarchs probably won’t be able to defeat you. Your only two choices appear either to be to remain at the Heavenly Court or to go back to the Heavenly Sword Sect…” An Lin’s eyes suddenly lit up as he exclaimed, “Wait! You’re scared to be alone and want to be a part of a powerful sect where you can also hang out with your friends. So how about we create a sect of our own?!”
“Create our own sect?” Liu Qianhuan’s purple eyes danced with excitement.
“That’s right! A sect with complete freedom for all of our friends. We can come and go as we please, and there is nothing that is going to bind you to the sect!” An Lin became more and more excited as he spoke, and the blueprint for the future seemed to by unfurling before his eyes.
A hesitant expression appeared on Liu Qianhuan’s face. “But does that really count as a sect? How is it going to develop?”
“Let me elaborate.” An Lin wagged a finger as he said, “Third-rate sects rely on spirit stones and treasures to develop, second-rate sects rely on strength to develop, and first-rate sects rely on mystic realms and cultivation methods to develop.
“Think about it, aside from some top-secret cultivation methods, which certain sects refuse to disclose, what could be more attractive to cultivators of the Kingdom of the Nine States than your Heavenly Sword Sect cultivation method, Big Brother Cheng’s Ten Thousand Spirit Sect cultivation method, Xu Xiaolan’s Vermilion Bird Sect cultivation method, and Da Bai’s Mythological Beast Sect cultivation method?”
Liu Qianhuan’s eyes widened as she drew a sharp intake of breath. “Those are the inheritances from all four great sects of the Kingdom of the Nine States…”
“Not only that, but we also have my disciple Xiao Ze’s Primordial Dragon Tribe inheritance, Little Na’s fairy healing and spatial inheritance, and Little Lang’s Ancient Man Tribe inheritance; all of which are top-rate inheritances. I’m sure this will create a massive stir throughout the entire continent,” An Lin added with a smile.
Liu Qianhuan couldn’t help but swallow as a scorching expression appeared in her eyes to mirror the scorching flames burning in her soul.
“Establishing a sect… Just the very notion of it sounds so exciting. I feel like I can already envision the rise of a top-tier sect! An Lin, you’re going to participate in this as well, right?” Liu Qianhuan’s eyes danced with elation as she turned to An Lin.
An Lin nodded. “Of course! This was an idea that just occurred to me, but it’s very feasible!”
He had been grappling with the dilemma of being separated from his friends in the future and had been thinking about a way to bring everyone closer.
This world was extremely huge, and without anything connecting them to one another, they could very quickly become strangers whose paths were destined to never cross again.
People like Su Qianyun, Xuanyuan Cheng, Tang Ximen, Miao Tian, Luo Ziping, Zhao Huaiyin, Liu Dabao… everyone could go off on their separate ways after graduation.
Hence, was there a chance where he could create a big family?
This wasn’t just going to be a place for them to come together and chat; that would not be sustainable nor attractive.
This had to be a new sect with a brilliant potential for growth, where everyone could interact happily with one another, and at the same time, they could also further better themselves on their cultivation path. It was quite clear that establishing a mutually beneficial sect to everyone was a fantastic option.
“I’m sure my beast pets, my disciple, and my slaves would all be willing to join this sect!” An Lin continued with a smile.
To people that didn’t know An Lin, they would probably sneer at this notion. But those who did know him would be given quite a fright by what he had just said.
An Lin’s beast pets, disciple, and slaves were enough to form a first-rate sect in the Kingdom of the Nine States!
“Then we’ll make you the sect leader!” A joyful smile appeared on Liu Qianhuan’s face as she added, “The first step to establishing a sect is to give it a name. Have you thought of anything?”
“How about the Lan Lin Sect?” An Lin suggested immediately.
Upon hearing this, Liu Qianhuan’s expression faltered before it darkened. “Is this a sect to abuse single people? The sect is going to fall apart sooner or later with a name like that!”
An Lin chuckled awkwardly. “Then what do you propose?”
“Hmm…” Liu Qianhuan pondered for a moment before replying, “All the members of our sect have to be top-rate cultivators, they have to be legends among man…”
She continued, “Let’s call the sect League of Legends!”
An Lin: “…”
