"One trillion Pure Yang Pills, and it's one trillion per person, along with a set of high-grade Dao artifacts. Just how many magic treasures does that Fang Han have? Just how vast is his wealth?"
"Even the Heavenly Martial Storehouse might not have such a vast hoard of treasure, right?"
"Indeed, although there are many treasures in the Heavenly Martial Storehouse, it's definitely not enough for him to squander like this. Nobody knows where else he obtained so much treasure."
"Such massive wealth and treasure can only be possessed by some giant merchant chambers in the Great Cultivation World."
"Even a giant merchant chamber could not squander and bring it out like this."
"If this amount of wealth was given to me, to what realm could my cultivation be elevated?"
"Yeah, it seems that allying with Fang Han grants far greater benefits than allying with the Taiyi Sect. Fang Han putting on this public show might just be to let everyone see that following him will yield endless benefits, obtaining countless real gold and silver."
"That goes without saying. Furthermore, just now, Fang Han displayed a strength sufficient to contend against the Taiyi Sect. Otherwise, he couldn't be this arrogant."
"However, rumors say the Taiyi Sect can communicate with the Immortal Realm, and they have Heavenly Immortal Envoys. It won't be an easy task for Fang Han to stand against the entire Taiyi Sect."
"That's not necessarily true. Yuhua Sect and Qunxing Sect merged into the Creation Gate, significantly increasing their strength, and now seeing as they've also roped in the Tongtian Sword Sect. If they can merge again, the strength of this three vast Immortal Dao alliances would be quite considerable. At least it would make the Taiyi Sect hesitate to act rashly; otherwise both sides would suffer heavy losses. The loss would outweigh the gain."
"The Tongtian Sword Sect might not necessarily merge with the Creation Gate. At most, it's just an alliance."
While Fang Han was squandering wealth to reward the "law enforcement squad" established by Jiao Fei, divine senses crossed between the ten million rogue cultivators. The mindsets of countless rogue cultivators instantly shifted their stances. Some greedy rogue cultivators wanted to pledge allegiance to the Creation Gate to get Fang Han's Pure Yang Pills. Let alone one trillion, even a few million or ten million was wealth they wouldn't earn in a lifetime.
"Sect Master Jian Shiwu?"
Fang Han suddenly addressed Jian Shiwu, the sect master of the "Tongtian Sword Sect", inside the Temple of Disaster.
"Fellow Daoist Fang Han, what is the matter?" Jian Shiwu was zoning out. Confronted with Fang Han's question, he suddenly snapped back to attention and immediately replied: "It seems Jiao Fei has found a good backer. With Fellow Daoist Fang Han continually supporting him, his path of cultivation will surely be smooth sailing."
"That goes without saying, but I am nothing much. Right now, I am merely at the Eighth Level of Longevity, the Chaos Cave Realm cultivation. I haven't passed the Immortal Realm lightning punishment yet. Only when I pass the Immortal Realm lightning punishment can it be considered a true achievement." Fang Han said.
"Headmaster Fang Han needs not be modest." The previously silent Jian Wudi suddenly said: "Jiao Fei has now improved his power, but he has offended many people. Going forward, he is the hope of my Tongtian Sword Sect. If Headmaster Fang Han can sustain his path of cultivation, my Tongtian Sword Sect will absolutely follow your lead completely."
These words spoken carried heavy weight.
Following Fang Han's lead completely equaled the Tongtian Sword Sect admitting to becoming a vassal under the Creation Gate.
However, thinking about it, it was very normal. Fang Han was generous, and his strength was tyrannical, actually able to stand up to Taihuang Tian as an equal. By the Tongtian Sword Sect appropriately lowering their posture, they could gain endless benefits and lots of protection.
Jian Wudi was clearly a sensible man.
"Haha, following my lead completely is an overstatement. This Heaven and Earth Great Tribulation is a calamity for the Xuanhuang Great World, and also a calamity for us cultivators. There must be a core where everyone tightly unites together to possibly weather it." Fang Han said: "Since the Tongtian Sword Sect can take my Creation Gate as the core, then I, Fang Han, naturally won't be stingy. Here is thirty trillion Pure Yang Pills. Take it, Sect Master Jian Shiwu, as a hoard for your many disciples to resist the Heavenly Demons and the God Race during the great tribulation."
With a grab of his hand, Fang Han formed a small world. Inside, Pure Yang energy rolled, condensing into clouds, and pouring down as countless hailstones. Those hailstones were Pure Yang Pills.
"Many thanks, Creation Headmaster." Jian Shiwu's palm was trembling slightly as he received the world containing thirty trillion pills. He couldn't help but be excited. The entire storehouse of the Tongtian Sword Sect was only five or six trillion pills. It was sufficient for regular use, but amidst the great tribulation, it felt somewhat stretched thin.
Now, abruptly receiving thirty trillion pills out of nowhere, once he got back and drove the Tongtian Sword City to manipulate time, making one day count as a thousand years, allowing many disciples unlimited access to cultivation, wouldn't their overall strength advance by leaps and bounds?
Although all the ten Immortal Dao Sects had supreme Dao artifacts that could accelerate the flow of time, no one could use them constantly because it consumed way too many Pure Yang Pills.
As long as there were enough Pure Yang Pills to develop for several thousand years, any sect could become a behemoth.
"Creation Headmaster, truly a generous gesture."
Another supreme elder of the Tongtian Sword Sect stepped forward and said, "I am Jian Shisan, Jian Shiwu's martial uncle. Fellow Daoist Fang Han being so generous makes my Tongtian Sword Sect infinitely grateful. I am here with Jian Wudi and Headmaster Jian Shiwu to state our position in front of all the Immortal Dao sects: from now on, we will take the Supreme Headmaster of the Creation Gate, Fang Han, as the core, and jointly resist the Heaven and Earth Great Tribulation."
Hum…
With this stance stated, many sects and rogue cultivators buzzed like flies again. The influence of the Creation Gate had grown even larger.
At that moment, the headmasters of the Cauldron Sword Sect, Sun Moon Sword Sect, and Crystal Grotto-Heaven, as well as the two major merchant chambers, the Heavenly Dao Pavilion and the Six Paths Alliance, all looked at each other in dismay.
The Tongtian Sword Sect had a total of two Chaos Cave Realm experts, Jian Wudi and Jian Shisan, and the Supreme Headmaster was Jian Shiwu.
Now, all three of them had stated their positions. Basically, from top to bottom of the entire sect, no one would dare to oppose it.
"The next Supreme Headmaster of my Creation Gate is Starnimbus Baby. If the Tongtian Sword Sect merges with our Creation Gate, the Supreme Headmaster after that will be Jiao Fei. Moreover, I will also share my Three Thousand Great Dao with everyone." Fang Han's divine sense suddenly stirred, transmitting into the thoughts of Jian Wudi, Jian Shisan, and Jian Shiwu: "Everyone, you all know how immensely helpful the White Emperor Gold Emperor Slash, one of the Five Emperors Great Demon Divine Abilities that I cultivate, is for the cultivation of the Geng-Gold Sword Dao. If we merge, right here, and announce it to the world, then I can transfer the cultivation method and boundless Geng-Metal Energy into your worlds right now. Furthermore, I have opened the Yellow Springs Storehouse, which will definitely grant you endless benefits."
"Merge?"
Upon hearing this, Jian Shiwu, Jian Wudi, and Jian Shisan were intensely tempted. Fang Han was right. The White Emperor Gold Emperor Slash within the Great Five Elements Art was indeed very beneficial for Sword Dao cultivation. If they could learn it, the benefits went without saying.
However, if they merged, the orthodox lineage of the Tongtian Sword Sect would essentially vanish. This was an issue they couldn't face their ancestors with.
"Fellow Daoist Fang Han, please forgive me for not agreeing with you. My Tongtian Sword Sect has inherited from the ancient Daoist Tongtian and also has foundations in the Immortal Realm. It's just that during multiple great tribulations, we lost contact with the Immortal Realm. If we merge into the Creation Gate, we wouldn't be able to face our ancestors."
Jian Shiwu transmitted via divine sense.
"No matter, my, Fang Han's, mind is as broad as the sea embracing all rivers." Fang Han smiled: "This merger is merely an expedient measure. It is jointly to resist the Heaven and Earth Great Tribulation. Honestly, if we don't merge, when disciples from our two sects interact, there will be guardedness in their hearts, easily breeding conflicts. How about this, I promise you, after the Heaven and Earth Great Tribulation passes, your Tongtian Sword Sect can freely separate again and become your own sect once more. For now, I'll set up a branch within the Creation Gate, to be called the Tongtian Hall."
"After the great tribulation passes, we can freely separate? Are your words true?"
Jian Wudi raised his eyebrows, "And, you can also teach us the deepest mysteries of the Great Five Elements Art?"
"Correct."
"Fellow Daoist Fang Han, you are actually this magnanimous?"
"Because I do not care about this tiny bit of influence. I will ascend to the Immortal Realm sooner or later. That is my ultimate battlefield. Furthermore, are you still worrying about the Taiyi Sect's Heavenly Immortal Envoy? This kid Jiao Fei, even without me, has Old Man Heart Demon supporting him. Let me also tell you, those four experts—Old Man Heart Demon, Human Emperor Pen, Red Abyss Demon Venerable, and Linglong Immortal Venerable—have already gone to hunt down the Taiyi Sect's Heavenly Immortal Envoy. Presumably, that Heavenly Immortal Envoy will be killed very soon. Therefore, please rest assured, Tongtian Sword Sect. Even if Jiao Fei offended the Taiyi Sect this time, absolutely nothing will happen."
Fang Han directly transmitted these divine senses to Jian Wudi, Jian Shiwu, and Jian Shisan.
"What? Is this true?"
"Naturally it is true. The Sect Master of Myriad Return Immortal Island, Wan Yushu, has already been caught and converted by me, and one of the Heavenly Immortal Envoy's clones was slain by the Human Emperor Pen." While speaking, Fang Han guided the divine senses of the three great experts into the Eight Division Floating Pagoda. Instantly, they saw the Sect Master of Myriad Return Immortal Island, Wan Yushu, kneeling within, praying devoutly, with a powerful vow power revolving around his body.
"It really is Wan Yushu, even he has been converted by you."
The three experts were thoroughly convinced in their hearts this time, "Then our Tongtian Sword Sect will announce to the public right now that the Tongtian Sword Sect is merging with the Creation Gate."
There was a burst of divine sense transmission. The three experts seemed to be communicating and discussing with the many supreme elders of the Tongtian Sword Sect. Suddenly, Jian Shiwu stepped forward: "Fellow Sect Masters, our Tongtian Sword Sect is genuinely merging into the Creation Gate. We will become the Tongtian Hall of the Creation Gate, taking the oath right here before everyone."
"Enough!"
Taihuang Tian suddenly stood up, his eyes flashing with murderous intent: "Fang Han, have you had enough of your pompous display of power? Jian Shiwu, it's not too late for you to repent now. Quickly kill that unworthy disciple Jiao Fei, and draw a clear line with this Creation Gate. Otherwise, my Taiyi Sect will inevitably brand you as the Demonic Dao. In the future, the Immortal Realm will send people down to eradicate your Tongtian Sword Sect! An even more severe consequence is that once I report this matter upward, your Tongtian Sword Sect's foundations in the Immortal Realm will be completely obliterated."
"Taihuang Tian, who are you trying to scare? The affairs of the Immortal Realm, can you control them?" Fang Han also took a step forward. The entire group from the Tongtian Sword Sect, along with the people from the Yuhua Sect and Qunxing Sect, stood faintly together, forming a cycle, with their magic powers interlinked and divine senses communicating. Instantly, an aura that could rival the Taiyi Sect emerged.
"Fang Han, it looks like you truly don't intend to walk out of my Taiyi Sect this time."
A gloomy smile appeared on Taihuang Tian's face: "Do you think these petty tricks, these minor maneuvers, are enough to reverse the grand momentum? To disrupt the plans of the Immortal Realm?"
