System's Super Sect Chapter 870 - 827: Claiming the Reward: Sect Development Explosion

They ventured deeper, drawing closer to the stone statue of Nuwa.

However, the Wood Dragon remained distracted, focusing entirely on the vibrant flora and trees within the forest, failing to notice the towering Nuwa Statue looming in the distance.

Every single flower, blade of grass, and towering tree was, in truth, a demon!

Although the Wood Dragon was a True Dragon that typically looked down upon the majority of the Demon Race, it stood speechless, shocked by the bizarre spectacle. Naturally, the inherent pride of a True Dragon prevented this surprise from showing on its face, so it simply continued forward in silence.

With the Wood Dragon remaining mute, Wen Ping maintained his composure as well, occasionally casting a sideways glance at the creature, a subtle smile playing upon his lips.

As they finally emerged from the forest, Wen Ping eventually broke the silence. "This is what I, as the Sect Leader, meant by a new beginning; here, anything can come to pass."

"Flowers, grass, trees—even the most insignificant beings in existence can transform into demons and command demonic power... what you said about anything being possible, I truly believe it now!" Despite the astonishment, the Wood Dragon felt a lingering confusion. What had become of the world?

It pondered whether the world itself hadn't changed at all.

The root of this phenomenon clearly lay with this Immortal Sect Leader.

Suddenly, Wen Ping came to a halt.

He gestured toward the distant, majestic Nuwa Statue.

"Allow me to introduce you: the Demon Ancestor, Nuwa!"

Following Wen Ping’s gesture, the Wood Dragon fixed its gaze upon the stone image.

The statue of Nuwa seemed to be watching him in return.

He returned that searching look.

Instantly, the atmosphere felt unnervingly still.

Only the rhythmic thumping of the Wood Dragon’s heartbeat grew more intense.

"The true Demon Ancestor!"

Within the colorful eyes of the Wood Dragon, the suppressed amazement finally erupted.

Step by step, the Wood Dragon slowly drew near to the divine monument.

The true Demon Ancestor!

This thought dominated the wood dragon’s mind, for the ancient, pure demon Qi radiating from the statue felt countless times more potent than that of any True Dragon.

Within the Dragon Race, they were considered the pinnacle of the Demon Race’s lineage.

Yet, the purity radiating from this figure was beyond his ability to grasp.

Such an existence had been unheard of, even during the eras of old!

Wen Ping’s voice drifted through the air, snapping the Wood Dragon out of its reverie, "She can assist you—granting you the means to reclaim your peak."

"I believe it!"

The Wood Dragon answered Wen Ping with unwavering conviction.

"Kneel before her with a sincere heart, and she will bestow upon you the cultivation method of the Demon Immortal Dao. From this day forward, you shall remain to cultivate at Demon Emperor Lake. Soon, I will introduce you to the Demon Emperor of this place, and you will follow his guidance for a time."

The Wood Dragon gave a solitary nod, "I understand."

After speaking, it lifted its head once more to observe the Nuwa Statue.

It wasn't until the Golden Dragon, Ao Li, descended that the Wood Dragon regained its focus, acknowledging the dragon standing before it—one whose bloodline outshone even his own.

The Sovereign of the Dragon Race—the Golden Dragon!

Demonic bloodlines are stratified into many levels, and within the Dragon Race, the distinctions of class are incredibly stark.

Compared to the Golden Dragon clan, the Wood Dragon clan appeared far more ordinary.

Upon realization that the Golden Dragon served as the Guardian of the Nuwa Statue, the Wood Dragon felt enlightened, holding the Demon Ancestor in even greater esteem.

Even the mighty Golden Dragon was merely a guardian.

He realized he ought to be even more humble as an seeker of truth.

That lingering pride of the Dragon Race had to be cast aside!

That evening, the Wood Dragon knelt at the foot of the Nuwa Statue, bowing its proud head in reverence.

...

Having temporarily placed the Wood Dragon under Huaikong's watch, Wen Ping felt an eager urge to return to his Sect.

The time had come to claim the rewards for his missions.

The growth of the Sect was on the verge of a massive breakthrough!

I, Wen Ping, have returned!

Before departing, Wen Ping instructed Huaikong, "Let him cultivate in solitude. Once he ascends to the Earth Unrestricted Upper Realm, have him come seek me. Considering his foundation, transitioning to the Demon Immortal Dao to reach the Upper Realm shouldn't take very long."

The Wood Dragon was an asset Wen Ping intended to integrate into the Immortal Sect.

Demon Emperor Lake already boasted a dragon.

That prestige was sufficient.

However, the Immortal Sect itself still lacked one.

Huaikong nodded, "Sect Leader, rest assured, I will handle it."

Wen Ping nodded, "I am departing."

With that, he took flight on his sword and vanished into the distance.

...

Immortal Sect.

As night fell, Wen Ping arrived back at the Immortal Sect.

"Claim reward!"

Wen Ping hurried to collect the long-awaited prize for the explosive growth of his sect.

[Reward distribution is underway!]

[Congratulations on obtaining the Sect Development Explosion Buff! From today until this date next year, the comprehension and luck of all disciples within the Sect shall increase fivefold. All Elders' comprehension and luck shall increase sevenfold. The Sect Leader’s own comprehension and luck will be bolstered tenfold.]

[Furthermore, during this Sect Development Explosion phase, select buildings will randomly offer unrestricted training sessions for disciples.]

"Incredible!"

Wen Ping was nearly moved to tears.

A tenfold boost!

The scale was truly immense!

And the removal of training time limits in certain buildings was an immense boon to the Sect.

In facilities like the Wind Valley, the system normally maintained strict limits on how long a disciple could practice each day.

"Which buildings will offer unlimited cultivation?"

"The selection is to be performed by the host!"

The map of the Immortal Sect manifested before him.

The Gravity Field, Wind Valley, Viewing Room, and all other structures were highlighted.

"Shall the selection process begin?"

"Commence!"

Wen Ping initiated the draw.

One by one, the icons for the buildings pulsed with radiance before dimming once more.

Wind Valley remained glowing brightly!

The Viewing Room held its light!

The Mage Tower stayed lit as well!

All other buildings faded back to darkness.

"Wind Valley, the Viewing Room, and the Mage Tower have been granted the Sect Development Explosion buff. From today for the next year, time spent within them will not be restricted. Note that Sect Task Points and White Crystals will still be required as usual."

"Wonderful!"

Wen Ping was ecstatic.

Wind Valley represented the foundation of the Immortal Sect’s Vein Technique path.

The Mage Tower stood for the arcane lineage of the Immortal Sect.

With these two unlocked, both Vein Techniques and magic were set to flourish; the potential over the next year was practically limitless!

The Viewing Room would be even more effective.

It was the primary production hub for wands and magical artifacts. Before the luck increase, obtaining a real magical artifact via movies or TV shows depended entirely on blind chance.

With unrestricted viewing time bolstered by a fivefold luck increase for his disciples, one could only imagine the results.

By watching Immortal Slayer, could they perhaps forge a fearsome Immortal Slaying Sword Array?

By watching Harry Potter, might they produce a legendary Elder Wand?

In summary, everything seemed within reach.

Before Wen Ping’s excitement could settle, the system added, "During the Sect Development Explosion stage, the host will have a distinct probability for unlimited free upgrades when creating new structures or improving existing ones. Moreover, the host is not precluded from utilizing the Life Core Pendant."

"This year will be a period of intense growth for the Immortal Sect," Wen Ping thought, the ambition within his heart kindling into a steady flame.

Too many rivals lay ahead on the Immortal Sect’s path.

Without this pivotal year, the road would be harrowing.

His parents still awaited his rescue.

The Heaven-Covering Pavilion remained watchful.

The You Country could launch an invasion at any moment.

With this year of grace, the Immortal Sect finally possessed a fighting chance.

"It is time for bold action."

Wen Ping gritted his teeth in resolve.

Furthermore, Fa Yuan Valley—constructed before his departure to the Red Leaf Sect—was finally complete.

It was time to unveil it!

A true miniature world of the Xianxia genre!

With its arrival, the deficiencies in the Immortal Sect’s magical lineage would be fully resolved.

Magic would no longer be confined to simple Fire Control and Sword Control!
