Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 165 The True Izumi Clan
The patriarch of the Xiling clan wanted to say something, "Even if you're not afraid of the puppets being destroyed, don't make things worse for everyone," but seeing Fang Xianyu's confident face, his lips twitched several times, and he was too embarrassed to say it.

Coral had already told her about the special method of Taiyin Sect disciples cultivating with puppets, but no matter what, being weak is being weak. Even if you are not afraid of death, you are at most a weakling who is not afraid of death. Going into the Five-Colored Array is just like sending yourself to be eaten.

She said, unusually tactfully, "It's good that you're willing to help, fellow Daoist, but the environment inside the Five-Colored Array is dangerous and harsh. I'm afraid even a human cultivator at the Golden Core stage would have difficulty escaping unscathed..."

The implication is that you, a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators who are already selective about your disciples' abilities, should stay out of the fun.

However, Fang Xianyu seemed not to understand the meaning of the Xiling Clan Chief's words and insisted, "I know your concerns, fellow Daoist. Although the disciples of my Taiyin Sect are not highly skilled, they have very rich combat experience and have even killed Ximo, who was close to becoming a True Demon. Perhaps they will be unaccustomed to the Five-Colored Array for a while, but they will soon adapt to the environment and contribute to the stability of the Five-Colored Array."

"This……"

The Xiling clan chief hesitated for a moment before finally nodding and saying, "Since you insist, then you can go to the entrance of the Five-Colored Array that our Quanxian clan guards at any time. Although the Five-Colored Array is nominally guarded by each clan, it does not prohibit outsiders from entering. It's just that they will be checked when leaving to prevent anything from the Guixu Sea from sneaking in."

Fang Xianyu was almost beaming with joy: "Then thank you in advance, fellow Daoist!"

The Five-Colored Array is a great array set up by the ancient goddess Nuwa in ancient times to block the mouth of the Guixu Sea. This array is actually a "maze".

Of course, it's not a real maze to walk through; this maze is actually composed of countless small worlds of different sizes.

These small worlds act like funnels, first absorbing the seawater flowing out of the Guixu Sea and the various ancient creatures living in it, then circulating back and forth before finally returning to the Guixu Sea, thus forming a closed "cycle" as much as possible.

However, the spiritual energy at the entrance to the Guixu Sea is mixed and fluctuates greatly, which makes these small worlds unstable. The demons and ancient creatures that are brought into these small worlds will not obediently return to the Guixu Sea with the seawater. This results in many uninvited guests staying in these small worlds. The "mission" sent by the races guarding the Five-Colored Array is to clear out the demons and ancient creatures that are staying in these small worlds.

Fang Xianyu made this request because the only Nine Nether Passage currently controlled by the Taiyin Sect was almost completely exhausted by the players – the wandering Nine Nether Demons simply couldn't keep up with the increasing demand for dungeons, and the energy supply from killing Nine Nether Demons had almost reached its limit, making further progress difficult.

If she doesn't find some new "copy" soon, people on the forum will probably be cursing her ancestors every day.

Of course, another reason is also for system energy integration.

It's hard to pinpoint exactly what caused the energy accumulated by Fang Xianyu's system—it's at least related to merit, faith, and incense offerings, while players also accumulate a small amount every time they kill evil spirits like the Nine Nether Demon.

Although we still can't figure out exactly what criteria this thing uses for evaluation, it's undeniable that having players kill some demons in the Five-Colored Array would definitely be useful!

Once players have mastered the skills and can enter the Five-Colored Array to exterminate demons for extended periods, the various alien races, led by the Quanxian Clan, will likely have to thank the Taiyin Sect disciples for their hard work!
This is truly a win-win situation!
After finishing this matter, Fang Xianyu gestured for Elder Lu Ying to get to the main topic and begin discussing "diplomatic issues" with the Xiling clan chief. Merfolk are a very strange race.

Perhaps because they live year-round in the frigid seabed, their faces have been frozen stiff, to the point that almost all the spring-fed immortals have expressionless faces. To put it nicely, they don't show their emotions; to put it bluntly, their expressions are as numb as a 200-pound idiot.

At the same time, their lifestyle of living alone, coupled with their aloofness, can lead people to misunderstand that the Quanxian tribe is not very united.

In fact, it is quite the opposite.

Because the Quanxian clan can communicate through special spiritual means, they can mobilize all clans and unite them in a very short time. This is also why the ancient gods unanimously chose Quanxian Royal City as the eye of the Five-Colored Array to suppress it.

Therefore, the Quanxian tribe is actually a very united race.

However, due to the ease of communication within their tribe, the Quanxian people are all quite talkative. Sometimes, even those hundreds of miles apart can hold a "tea party"—the kind where they only eat melons and don't drink tea. The Quanxian royal city, where the Quanxian people live the most, is even jokingly called "Fish Market" and "Fish City" by the Quanxian people, meaning it's as noisy as a fish market, which is a headache.

This "noise" is merely a matter of consciousness; in modern terms, it could be called "brainwave communication," a special kind of "brainwave" that other races, including humans, cannot "hear." Therefore, in the eyes of other races, the Quanxian tribe has always been a powerful, reliable, and quiet race—a truly beautiful misunderstanding.

At the same time, because the ocean is so vast, the sea area controlled by the Quanxian tribe is larger than imagined. For the sake of privacy, the sea areas where different clans live are very far apart. If they want to communicate about important matters, even if their brainwaves can travel thousands of miles, they still have to swim hundreds of miles!
This resulted in the Quanxian clan not having close connections with its various clans when there was no external pressure, which led to the current governance model where each clan governs its own territory.

In other words, the various clans of the Quanxian tribe had a great deal of autonomy and could be regarded as semi-independent "political entities".

More importantly, a decentralized political structure is far more beneficial to the Taiyin Sect than a complete "Quanxian Kingdom." As for whether this approach will subtly alter the Quanxian clan's position in the future peaceful world order, or even affect their rights and status...

If it really has an impact, that would be great! A weak ally is much "easier to get along" than a powerful neighbor! Politicians don't care about morality!

Therefore, the plan that Elder Lu Ying, the Zhonghua family behind him, and Fang Xianyu discussed overnight was to define the Xiling clan as an independent political entity, similar to an "autonomous city-state," while the Quanxian clan was only defined as a "race."

Just as a country with a white population isn't classified as a "white country," a country entirely composed of black people isn't called a "black country," so too can your Quanxian clan, with its many independent clans, be classified as completely independent political entities!

My stomach still hurts a lot QAQ
But I won't stop updating! I promise to update more once I conquer my period! Pow!
