5.Sect Introduction.
After shaking off the lingering daze from the influx of knowledge, Yang Chen's gaze shifted once more to the floating status screen. The words [Sect] gleamed with a faint, inviting glow. Curiosity burned within him.
"Celestial Maiden Sect, huh? Let's see what I chose in detail."
He willed his thoughts towards it. Immediately, the system responded, and a new translucent panel unfolded before him.
[Celestial Maiden Sect
A sect exclusively composed of female disciples. Benefits include increased loyalty, accelerated cultivation for members, and improved resource acquisition. Sect Master's charm will directly influence disciple morale and attraction towards the Sect Master.]
[The Sect members can live endlessly without aging within the Sect grounds, even without continuous breakthroughs or high cultivation.]
Yang Chen's lips twitched.
"Increased loyalty? Accelerated cultivation? Immortality and anti-aging features? And all I get is my charm influencing them? This system is practically encouraging me to become a living legend!"
He couldn't suppress a grin. A powerful sect of beautiful women, all fiercely loyal to him? It sounded like something out of a perverse fantasy, but the more he read, the more ecstatic he felt.
But the next section stole his attention.
[The sect symbol for representing the sect is a radiant gold lotus with nine leaves, representing purity, luxury, and power. When representing the sect, all banners and formal documents will bear this symbol, commanding respect across cultivation realms.]
[Every sect member will bear different golden lotus marks on their glabella, which will change automatically as their cultivation grows representing their cultivation dao path and dedication to the sect. The mark will adapt in different patterns as the disciple grows in strength, serving as both an identifier and a testament to their progress.]
"Stylish. Can't go wrong with a gold lotus," Yang Chen mused, his grin widening. "And glabella marks? Now that's just badass." he was happy reading the descriptions of his choices.
The system's attention to aesthetics amused him. It was as though the sect was meant to be a symbol of both prestige and allure. But that was just the beginning. As he read further, the implications became even more outrageous.
[The Sect Master can unlock new areas of the sect by acquiring knowledge and mastering different dao's, cultivating further, to higher realms. Each unlocked territory will be customized with the highest grade luxuries available presently in the universe.]
[Every structure in the sect grounds including protective arrays of the sect have the ability to auto repair function without needing the host any material consumption.]
[All sect members will receive personalized luxurious and comfortable courtyards, shaped to reflect their desires and preferences. Each time a new member joins, a fresh courtyard will manifest an embodiment of their personality and aspirations.]
Yang Chen's eyes gleamed. "How much of the construction cost am I saving with this?" he thought.
"A self-expanding paradise tailored to our tastes? No more worrying about designing courtyards or maintaining grounds. This is practically a divine luxury resort! with an auto repair function."
Just imagining a sprawling, otherworldly sect with crystal-clear lakes, misty mountains, and fragrant gardens was enough to excite him. Every inch of the sect would pulse with beauty and opulence, a testament to his dominion.
And then came the next bombshell.
[Each and every sect members, including the sect master and sect elders having a sect mark can teleport to and from the sect grounds from anywhere and everywhere once per day. Exceptions includes the Sect Master and Sect Elders, who can teleport at will limitlessly.]
"Teleportation on demand? No more carriages or long-distance flights? I'll be zipping around like a damn immortal, able to travel anywhere I want to just with a mere thought in mind."
The thought of casually vanishing in a flash of light while others gasped in awe was undeniably satisfying. And that wasn't even the best part.
[The Sect Master doesn't need to search or recruit sect elders himself, he can summon the deceased souls failed on their dao path of cultivation, reviving them with a their identity and purpose as sect elders. These souls will be chosen based on their past lives' achievements and mastery in specific dao, before their untimely demise like alchemy, swordsmanship, array formations, or other cultivation dao's.]
[The Summoned elders will possess cultivation bases one stage below the Sect Master's and retain the full breadth of their past knowledge, their dao knowledge will be upgraded to the peak as their cultivation increases. All elders will be unwaveringly loyal to the Sect and the Sect Master.]
[Note: Only female souls processing beauty and mastery over a certain cultivation dao are eligible for this summoning.]
Yang Chen froze.
"Wait, I can bring back legendary female cultivators as my sect elders? Masters of alchemy, swordsmanship, and who knows what else, all under my command?"
He couldn't believe his luck. Every cultivation sect struggled to maintain powerful elders, let alone cultivate peerless experts loyal to the sect. Every known sect has to provide certain benefits to their elders to tie them to the sect, but the Celestial Maiden Sect would house the best of the best figures from forgotten eras, whose wisdom and techniques could no longer be found in the mortal world.
"And they'll all be my subordinates. Completely loyal to me. No betrayal. No schemes." He chuckled darkly. "Heaven itself couldn't ask for a better deal."
A fleeting thought crossed his mind.
"But why only females?"
Then it clicked.
"Of course. Celestial Maiden Sect I selected. This system is seriously dead set on making me some legendary figure in the cultivation world after my choice. A myth among the masses, surrounded by unparalleled beauties."
The more he thought about it, the more intoxicating the prospect became.
And there was one last line.
[The Celestial Maiden Sect is located in the Bloodhill Wilderness, protected by a powerful defensive array. It resides within the Palouf Archipelago in the Pacific Ocean, an unexplored region still left untouched by modern cultivation powers.]
"An unexplored island, hidden from the world? Just perfect start I need without any disturbances."
No spies. No uninvited guests. A land of pure serenity where Yang Chen would reign supreme. The Bloodhill Wilderness sounded ominous, but with the sect's defenses and the promise of an ancient formation, even an army of cultivators wouldn't stand a chance.
He clenched his fists, his grin now bordering on manic.
"The world's most powerful sect of beautiful maidens, fully loyal to me and led by me? This is going to be fun. I'm gonna' have the time of my life."
The thought of cultivating leisurely, basking in the admiration of countless beauties, and wielding unimaginable power filled him with glee. He could already picture it revered as the Supreme Sect Master, his name whispered across continents.
And with the Primordial Chaos Reincarnation Technique backing him, no force in existence would stand in his way.
"Let the heavens watch me grow," he declared, his eyes burning with ambition. "Because Yang Chen is going to rewrite destiny itself."
The sky gave a terrifying thundering suddenly before vanishing instantly unknowingly to Yang Chen's words. This was caused as the heavens detected the growing luck over him.
A new era was about to begin. The era of the Celestial Maiden Sect.
