1073: Three Reasons to Establish a Sect

Three Reasons to Establish a Sect

"Each of us is good at gathering a certain type of resource. With my clones, the energy we can obtain is tremendous. It should be enough for the initial expenditure," Krune could not help but tell Zamura. "As for the location of the sect, I have a great place in mind."1

"Oh, go ahead." Zamura was curious, wondering which place made Krune this excited. 

"Once we cross the Zamuria Continent through the blocked path, there was a massive stretch of water. When I explored it before, I was unable to see any other landmass for thousands of kilometers," Krune started to explain, slightly excited. "The energy there is more or less the same as everywhere else, but this much free space is great, right? Especially since any place with any bit of resource is already occupied by people of power."

"And best of all..." Krune chuckled as he continued, "If you have to arrive there from the Zamuria Continent, you have to pass through a certain place that would corrupt your mind and turn you into a wish granting creature. I fear that you won't be immune to it even after turning into a Primal God. The stronger you are, the greater the power of wishes would corrupt your mind."

"Moreover, this corruption is permanent. Once the people there create a statue of you, no matter what you do, their prayers would reach you and corrupt you eventually. Even if you commit suicide, you'll only reset the corruption. Once you revive, the corruption would begin to latch onto you once again. So, if you don't wish to become prey to it, you'll have to commit suicide and revive constantly." Krune laughed. "If you are strong, you won't be able to revive easily since the requirement for it is just too much."

"This is a natural barrier preventing any entry," Krune said. "And of course, I have a method to get by. I already placed my Land Incarnation in the waters beyond it. Once we return, I'll make a clone grow there and create a teleportation formation. With that, we'll all move there."

"As for the landmass to base our sect on, I have an interesting material to use. I got it from Layer 4." Krune then talked about the material he used to make Pestlor, causing Zamura to nod with interest. 

After listening to it, Zamura said, "I'll use my Law to restrict its growth to a certain extent and cause it to float in the air. This way, we'll have an air of elegance to our sect."

"I'll ask Feifei to convince your mother to become part of the sect as well. It seems they had established a good rapport between them. So, there is a chance," Krune said, watching Zamura nod with a hopeful expression. "This way, even if you avoid her to prevent her from being hurt, you'll also have a chance to eventually negate her hatred. 

He then thought about something, asking Zamura, "Now that I think about it, why are you suddenly interested in establishing a sect? I thought you were the type of guy to roam the world freely without any worries."

"Actually, there is a realistic reason and a benefit in creating a sect." Zamura explained, "Of course, the first is to have a safe haven where we can establish our Land Incarnation and revive in the future upon death. With many people in the sect, the Land Incarnations would remain undamaged. We can also prepare enough resources to revive faster. The sect members would guarantee the protection of the resources."

"We'll run into numerous dangers in the future. So, it's for the best to have such a contingency measure," Zamura continued. "The second thing is to prepare for tribulations. Becoming an immortal is tremendously difficult. Nevertheless, breakthroughs are dependent on the individual. So, having a sect isn't necessary for that too much. All we need is a safe place to consolidate our realm after a successful breakthrough."

He then double-tapped his glabella, summoning his tablet as he added, "This tablet was created using the soil containing Tribulation Lightning. So, if we breakthrough from one place numerous times, then the land in the place would contain traces of Tribulation Lightning. I don't need to tell you the advantages it would give us in the future, right?"

"Yes." Krune nodded as he said in response, "Even though we can't gain any comprehension of Tribulation Lightning, we can temper our flesh using the high concentration of Tribulation Laws in the place. This would ease our breakthroughs in the future."

"Indeed, this reason is the second advantage of establishing a sect." Zamura took in a deep breath before continuing to explain, "And then, we have the third, most important reason to establish a sect."

"And, that is?" Krune asked, curious. 

"Progression on the path of cultivation gets slower the higher you climb up. When we are immortals, a single increase in a minor realm may even take us decades to centuries. If we simply cultivate blindly, we'll hit our limits sooner or later." Zamura laughed as he said that. "But in a sect, we can observe the sect members when bored, take in disciples for fun, invent new stuff and give a headache for others. Basically, we'll never be bored and can cultivate without stagnating."

"All of them make perfect sense." Krune nodded in realization. "No wonder people establish sects all over."

"Well yeah," Zamura said in response. "There's also the need for resources to cultivate. With more people under us, we can simply give them missions to gather the materials we need. This way, we don't need to personally roam around the world for every single material we need."

He then looked at Hwait and asked it, "What will you Black Demons do? You can join my sect."

"Our intention had been to follow Lady Feifei," Hwait answered. "Most of the Black Demons have this thought."

"Will Feifei join our sect?" Zamura asked Krune. 

"Of course, she will," Krune laughed as he replied. "We plan to settle down and live together for some time. For all our lives, we have been moving from one place to another. In recent times in the Sub-Realm, this has been plaguing us a lot. We no longer wish to live apart from one another."

"It's time we lived together and reunited with our family."
