System's Super Sect Chapter 904 - 850: New Structure—Fifth World (Third Update)

"Thank you, Sect Leader, thank you, Pavilion Master!"

He Yijian exclaimed with delight.

Chen Xie chuckled and replied, "Elder He Yijian, no need to be so polite."

"Being valued by the Pavilion Master and gaining the Sect Leader’s promise marks the greatest fortune of He Yijian’s life! I pledge to dedicate my remaining days serving Tingyu Pavilion and the Immortal Sect relentlessly, even unto death!"

He Yijian swore this oath without delay, full of gravity.

Chen Xie answered, "Elder He Yijian, I trust you! That’s enough for now. Rest well and recover properly."

After those words, Chen Xie severed the link with He Yijian and turned to his own tasks.

Unbeknownst to him, He Yijian itched to rise and tackle the Immortal Daily’s affairs right away.

Luckily, Yi Yi insisted he remain bedridden, and only then did He Yijian consent to recuperate a bit.

...

Immortal Sect.

Fresh from finishing the Master’s Dao Maze, Wen Ping reached the Undying Forest.

A daring notion struck him—if the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking missions succeeded, might he splurge on Spiritual Liquid to nurture the Undying Tree instead of mere well water?

Yet Wen Ping swiftly dismissed the idea with a headshake.

No, he absolutely mustn’t entertain such notions.

Far too lavish.

Shifting from frugality to luxury comes effortlessly.

Reversing from luxury to frugality proves arduous!

Should future reputation quests intensify and demand more reputation, how would he manage?

Right then, Qin Shan rushed up.

"Sect Leader, representatives from all 17 Five-star Influences have gathered."

Wen Ping eyed the 16 diggers who had abruptly halted, then declared, "With everyone assembled, come with me, your Sect Leader."

Joy surged through the 16, who hurried after Wen Ping.

They discarded their hoes and pickaxes without a second thought.

A few even inhaled deeply, already tasting the upcoming liberation.

Upon reaching the Main Hall, the 16 returned to their respective groups, surrendered their White Crystals, and prepared to depart!

"Sect Leader Wen, forgive any past slights—farewell!"

After uttering this, the individual whispered inwardly.

Never cross paths again!

The other 15 sighed in relief upon handing over their White Crystals, then fled together without lingering a moment.

Beyond the Immortal Sect’s gates, they soared skyward and vanished into Star Sword Mountain in a flash.

Solely the Shen Family stood there, utterly confused.

Where was Patriarch Shen Jue?

Where had he gone?

The leading elder hurriedly whispered, "Excuse me, where is the Shen Family Patriarch?"

Wen Ping lifted his hand casually and stated, "Dead."

"Dead!"

"How is that possible?"

Shock froze the Shen Family.

They had scraped together 400,000 White Crystals expressly to ransom Shen Jue’s life.

Now the crystals were at hand, yet the Patriarch lay dead!

"Your Immortal Sect breaks its promises!" The elder roared in rage, his anger flaring up.

"I, as Sect Leader, won’t waste breath arguing with you." Wen Ping shot back.

His icy stare then swept across every Shen Family member.

But the elder, reeling from news of Shen Jue’s demise, couldn’t hold back, bellowing once more, "Your Immortal Sect doesn’t honor its word! You vowed that 400,000 White Crystals would spare our Patriarch."

Wen Ping had zero patience for the Shen Family’s outburst. He called forth the Evil Spirit Knight and departed straightaway.

Prior to vanishing, he instructed, "Elder Qin, make sure those White Crystals reach the warehouse."

Qin Shan gave a firm nod.

He sensed the Sect Leader’s growing irritation.

As Qin Shan opened his mouth to speak, the Evil Spirit Knight materialized and struck without mercy, its blood-red chain lashing through the throng.

In that group lurked ten Mountain Suppression Upper Realm powerhouses and a Half-Step Earth Unrestricted expert, yet all perished beneath the Evil Spirit Knight’s chain.

After scooping up the scattered Storage Rings, Qin Shan summoned two attendants, "You two, tidy this mess."

The pair from Red Leaf Sect dashed forward, hearts pounding with terror, brooms in hand as they swept the gruesome remnants.

They quivered while cleaning.

Utterly horrifying.

In mere ten breaths, the abrupt skeletal beast had slaughtered them all.

Not only did the Shen Family fail to rescue their Patriarch, they forfeited 400,000 White Crystals and vital clan elites too.

Meanwhile, the Earth Unrestricted experts who bartered Flower White Crystals for survival rushed home to bathe at once.

Seven days of tree-planting left them unwashed.

Reeking of that distinct earthy odor.

The next day post-bath, they noted the Shen Family’s absence.

Realization dawned: the Shen Family was doomed.

They promptly rallied their forces to carve up the Shen Family’s holdings.

For years afterward, the mere mention of "Immortal Sect" chilled them to the bone.

Those three words "Immortal Sect" lingered like a haunting specter, ever shadowing their thoughts.

...

As night descended, Wen Ping meditated within Tingyu Pavilion, steadily refining the Earthly Cyan Lotus Body while perusing the Sect map.

The building roster lay open too.

Master’s Dao Maze done, time to erect facilities for the upcoming quests.

The Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking drew only elite prodigies.

Crowds jammed Heaven-Gazing Gorge.

Elite prodigies everywhere.

Wen Ping reckoned the existing Sect structures alone couldn’t guarantee 80 disciples ranking in the Red Domain’s top hundred.

Scanning the building list, Wen Ping weighed every challenge and resolved to erect a time-flow altering cultivation site.

For Cultivation Skill practice, Fa Yuan Valley sufficed.

One outer hour matched a full month inside Fa Yuan Valley.

Yet Vein Technique and Magic training gained no such edge.

Thus, Wen Ping targeted a structure tailored for Vein Technique and Magic cultivators this round.

At last, his choice locked on a single edifice.

Build price—twenty thousand reputation!

Shockingly costly!

The priciest special building on the list by far.

One glance at its intro, and Wen Ping deemed it ideal.

[Fifth World]

[A unique realm beyond the Sea of Time, where time flows cheaply due to effortless control.]

[Special Ability: Time Acceleration]

Wen Ping glanced once more and selected its spot behind the Mage Tower.

[Fifth World construction underway...]

[Time left: 100 hours]

Wen Ping promptly inquired, "System, care to elaborate? Like, what’s the time acceleration multiplier?"

"No comment!"

The system stonewalled firmly.

Wen Ping felt no letdown—this was the usual drill.

Full specs awaited completion.

He lingered in patience a while, noting no Sect development surge buff activated, then shut the interface.

Following that, he settled by the Earthly Cyan Lotus for two solid days.

Only with the third Immortal Daily’s launch—plus the Sect recruitment ad aimed at folks within ten thousand miles of Star Sword Mountain Range and Azure Abyss Pool—did Wen Ping emerge from cultivation.

Recruitment kicks off!
