System's Super Sect Chapter 1016 944: Strengthening Jin Zhi Tower's Power (First Update)

Stunned into silence by the words, Dong Hun was at a complete loss, questioning if his ears had deceived him.

The notion of reading the Immortal Daily at such a juncture seemed preposterous.

"Why are you standing around like a fool?" Jin Busan's voice boomed, laced with impatience.

It was only then that Dong Hun confirmed he hadn't misheard; Hall Master Jin genuinely desired a copy of the Immortal Daily.

Despite not understanding the Hall Master's motives for this request following Hall Master Di Chen's demise, he hastily departed to procure the day's publication.

As of late, the purchase of the Immortal Daily first thing in the morning had become a routine, ensuring someone always acquired the latest edition.

Dong Hun, having obtained the newspaper, scanned its pages several times.

Finding no mention of Hall Master Di Chen, his bewilderment intensified. "Why would Hall Master Jin insist on reading the Immortal Daily at this precise moment?"

He presented the paper to Jin Busan, his movements quick and precise.

Upon taking the Immortal Daily, Jin Busan's gaze was immediately drawn to a headline detailing Yun Liao's conquest over the four disciples of Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart.

The headline screamed: "Century Battle of the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking! The Curtain Finally Falls! Domain Master's Disciples—Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart, Furious Returning Wind, Only I Am Venerable, and Their Brothers Are All Dead!"

Beneath these striking words lay a comprehensive account of the events.

"Lord Wen, you can't possibly expect me to merely read this," Jin Busan muttered, his anger simmering despite the startling news. He doubted the Immortal Sect Leader's intention was solely for him to peruse this particular report.

He continued his perusal, his eyes scanning further down the page.

Suddenly, Jin Busan froze, becoming a statue-like figure, his eyes rigidly fixed upon a subsequent article in the Immortal Daily.

"Immortal Sect Leader Promises: The champion of the Red Domain shall be rewarded with a Five-Vortex Vortex Map, meticulously crafted by an Immortal Sect Vortex Divine Artisan, possessing extraordinary abilities."

This single sentence was enough.

After absorbing its meaning, Jin Busan let out a profound sigh, the visible heat of his anger seemingly extinguished by an unseen, cooling force.

Di Chen's death, he mused, was likely in vain.

The Immortal Sect had revealed a profound capability, one potent enough to captivate even experts at the Celestial Unrestricted level.

For the Domain Master, such information clearly required no further elaboration.

Previously, the understanding that the Immortal Sect could produce Four-Vortex Vortex Maps with special abilities had already demonstrated considerable deference towards them.

Now, the revelation of a Vortex Divine Artisan within the Immortal Sect, capable of forging Five-Vortex Vortex Maps imbued with unique powers, shifted the entire dynamic.

The Domain Master, Jin Busan surmised, would likely refrain from holding the Immortal Sect accountable for Di Chen's death.

This was true, even if the Immortal Sect possessed the most compelling motive for the assassination.

They wouldn't dare!

The existence of the Five-Vortex Vortex Divine Artisan supporting the Immortal Sect was, by itself, a decisive factor that could easily sway the balance of power in the conflict between the Heaven-Covering Tower and the You Country.

Should the Domain Master seize an opportunity for collaboration, the future prosperity of the Red Domain Lord's Mansion seemed virtually guaranteed.

"So that's why I was instructed to read today's Immortal Daily; a trump card of this magnitude has been revealed. Sect Leader Wen… you have indeed emerged victorious," Jin Busan exhaled deeply once more, casting a glance at Dong Hun and the others.

Observing their bewildered expressions, Jin Busan issued a stern warning. "Let this matter rest. I will report directly to the Domain Master. Until further directives are received, continue your duties as if the Jisheng Hall is without a Hall Master."

Dong Hun visibly trembled at these words.

The others shared his reaction.

His pronouncement had left them all utterly speechless.

"Consider this your only warning: it would be in your best interest to forget this incident entirely. Any attempt to pursue it further will only invite disaster upon yourselves."

Jin Busan harbored a concern that some among them, perhaps driven by loyalty, might disregard his advice and insist on investigating Di Chen's death, seeking retribution.

Jin Busan added, "Prepare the body for transport. It will be returned to the Di Family once the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking concludes."

With his instructions delivered, Jin Busan made no move to linger, his sole intention being to swiftly inform the Domain Master so a decision could be made.

Though he used the word 'decide'.

In reality, it offered the Domain Master no alternative course of action.

Would the Domain Master insist on an investigation into Di Chen's demise, thereby provoking the formidable power backing the Immortal Sect?

Or would they choose to bury the matter, acting as if Di Chen had never existed, and in doing so, secure a chance to ally with the Immortal Sect and achieve unprecedented heights?

The answer was undeniably clear.

He knew the Domain Master's disposition.

The Domain Master would, without question, opt for the latter.

...

At the Immortal Sect.

On the third level of the Jinzhi Tower.

Wen Ping rose, ceasing his observation of the image relayed by the Black Shadow.

Beside him, Chen Xie chuckled, "Sect Leader, your strategy is truly ingenious. By continuing to stall, the Domain Master will undoubtedly cease to bother us."

"However, this approach is not sustainable in the long run."

A true Celestial Unrestricted is needed to lead the Immortal Sect, providing it with unwavering confidence.

Wen Ping resolved to revisit the Undead Hell at a later juncture.

Perhaps fortune would smile upon him this time.

Chen Xie affirmed, nodding his head, "Do not worry, Sect Leader. During the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking, the Immortal Daily will be disseminated to every corner of the Red Domain."

Wen Ping continued, "Once the Red Domain is stabilized, initiate an outward expansion immediately. Aim to conquer the Primordial Yang Domain as swiftly as possible. The period of the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking presents a prime opportunity, as most individuals will be preoccupied, minimizing any significant opposition."

"Rest assured, Sect Leader!"

Chen Xie nodded with conviction.

He had, in fact, devised a more refined strategy recently, one that would ensure the widespread distribution of the Immortal Daily without encountering any obstacles.

Furthermore, this method would significantly conserve both human and material resources.

The key was collaboration!

Engaging in partnerships with various major forces.

In essence, it involved sharing the profits derived from these ventures.

When substantial benefits could be reaped, numerous factions would readily agree to cooperate with Jinzhi Tower.

"Your capabilities are beyond question. Previously, the Sect lacked the means to offer extensive support, compelling you to develop Jinzhi Tower independently. The circumstances have changed; I can now provide you with considerable backing," Wen Ping stated, rising to his feet. "Accompany me."

Chen Xie's face lit up with delight, and he hastened to follow Wen Ping out the door.

The two proceeded, one after the other, until they reached the vicinity of Fa Yuan Valley.

"Emerge, all of you,"

Wen Ping declared, standing with his hands clasped behind his back.

Instantly, a tempestuous wind swept through the area, and the formidable aura of Demon Gods emanated from all directions.

In the ensuing moment, dozens of Demon Gods materialized in human form, assembling before Wen Ping.

"Salutations, Sect Leader!"

"Salutations, Sect Leader!"

A chorus of salutations echoed as the Demon Gods paid their respects in unison.

A total of thirty-two Demon Gods stood present!

These were the very Demon Kings Wen Ping had dispatched to the Final Forbidden Area just a few days prior.

After spending a month within the confines of the Final Forbidden Area.

Sixty-eight Demon Kings had met their demise.

However, the remaining thirty-two had successfully ascended to the status of Demon Gods.

Wen Ping intended to entrust them all to Chen Xie, thereby bolstering the strength of Jinzhi Tower.

Demons possessed a loyalty that surpassed that of humans.

Consequently, Chen Xie could confidently assign them critical missions.

Without any need for concern.

"Here are thirty-two Demon Gods, all hailing from Demon Emperor Lake and possessing considerable renown. From this day forward, they are at your command," Wen Ping announced, not allowing Chen Xie a moment to express his gratitude. "Within the next ten days, I shall provide you with an additional sixty-eight Demon Gods, bringing the total to one hundred Demon Gods. With their assistance, your expansion endeavors will proceed with increased speed and efficiency."

"Thank you, Sect Leader!"

Chen Xie was ecstatic.

One hundred Demon Gods.

With this formidable force, and under the protective wing of the Immortal Sect, Jinzhi Tower's expansion would face no impediment.

Even Five-star Giant Influences would hesitate to obstruct them.

This was because no Five-star Giant Influence could muster the might equivalent to one hundred Earth Unrestricted Experts.

One had to wonder about the total number of Earth Unrestricted Experts present in the entirety of the Red Domain.

(Gratitude to "I Sleep Again in Summer" for the generous reward of ten thousand...)
