Unreliable Sword Immortal.

Chapter 202 Heading to Qilin Cliff

One hundred level 60 "Sword Walkers" joined the Reliable Sword Sect!

The system also granted them certification, and they were given a special sect position, not "Sect Leader's Wife," but "Advisor"!

"Master clerk! What the hell is a master clerk?!"

Lu Chaoding was speechless.

As can be seen from the sect management panel, the position of advisor is above the deputy sect leader and the left and right protectors. It has a high level of sect management authority, but no specific supervisory duties. It is the kind of person with a lot of power but no real authority. However, it is clear that not all sects can have a system-certified advisor.

After Lu Chao led the hundred "advisors" into the mountain gate, another system notification sounded: "Ding! The Reliable Sword Sect's foundation has been strengthened, and its leader's reputation has spread far and wide, elevating it to a second-rate sect!"

"This is only second-rate? My hundred sect leaders' wives are all extraordinary experts! The lowest level among them is level 61. In an ordinary sect, they could all be Grand Elders!"

Lu Chaoding pondered silently, his gaze sweeping back and forth over the hundred "Sect Leader's Wives".

Undeniably, these one hundred wives of the sect leader were all stunningly beautiful, like fairies, and their looks and figures perfectly matched Lu Chaoding's aesthetic standards.

They must be very strong, all of them are sword immortals. One of them, named Lan E, is the highest level, reaching level 81 with 1.2 billion health points.

There's another one called Green Willow, who's also level 80 and has even higher HP than Blue E, reaching a staggering 2 billion.

Even the lowest-ranking one among them, Lu Chaoding suspected was stronger than Tianhuo, the Supreme Elder of the Tianhuo Sword Sect.

Unfortunately, Lu Chaoding couldn't see their complete information; he could only see their names, levels, professions, and health points.

In addition, it was obvious that the "Sect Leader's Wife" given by the system was different from the "Sect Leader's Wife" that Lu Chaoding had imagined. Lu Chaoding soon discovered that their clothes seemed to be attached to their bodies. They were probably only beautiful in appearance, but in reality, they could only be used to look at each other and talk to each other. They could not be intimate at all.

"If you can't be intimate, what's with calling me 'Madam'? No wonder your position is 'Secretary'!"

Lu Chaoding suddenly felt wronged. When these hundred sect leaders' wives entered the mountain, many reliable sword sect disciples saw them. Many male players were envious and jealous, and their eyes seemed to be filled with daggers when they looked at him. But who knew that they were just tools?

"Actually, it's just a hundred advisors. Advisors are advisors, but if I, the sect leader, were to fall in love freely, they wouldn't have any objections, would they...?"

Lu Chao started to think wildly.

"Sect Leader, where shall we stay?"

Lan E asked Lu Chao, who was lost in thought, a question.

Lu Chaoding snapped out of his daze and said, "Wait a moment. I'm very generous. I'll give each of you a Heavenly Prison... oh no, each of you a floating villa. You can choose for yourselves."

The Heavenly Prison is a floating prison, a type of levitation building. Players of the Da Bao Construction Corps can transform it into a luxurious floating villa. The ones Lu Chaoding built before are now the most popular "real estates," much more sought after than the "Three Talents Building" or the "Scripture Pavilion."

A moment later, Lu Chaoding generated a hundred blueprints for the construction of the Heavenly Prison, along with a large number of interdimensional merit exchange vouchers, and bought the blueprint for the Four Seasons Tower, which was worth 1000 million interdimensional merits in the interdimensional merit shop.

However, allocating houses to the hundred sect leaders' wives took Lu Chaoding most of the day, making him exclaim inwardly, "No wonder some people say women can slow down my swordplay; all my time is being wasted on them!"

Lu Chaoding shook his head.

He was standing in the Four Seasons Pavilion at that moment.

Lu Chaoding built seven Four Seasons Pavilions, one on each floor of Hongchen Seven Realms Mountain. He was currently in the Four Seasons Pavilion on the top floor, curiously looking at the various decorations inside.

The Four Seasons Pavilion is very powerful. After it is built, four players from the sect can team up to activate the Four Seasons Sword Formation effect, which will randomly grant the four players the attack effects of "Spring Thunder", "Summer Rain", "Autumn Wind" and "Winter Snow".

These four attack effects are very powerful. Lu Chaoding briefly learned about them and found that with the support of this sword formation, a four-person team could easily defeat monsters of higher levels.

If a team of already strong players like Dugu Tian, ​​Wang Chengang, and Jiang Youxian teams up, with the support of the Four Seasons Sword Formation, they can already take on big bosses like the Fiery Tengu and the Ghost Battleship. Basically, they can easily kill any boss below level 60.

The wives of all one hundred sect leaders praised the Four Seasons Pavilion, saying that with this pavilion, it would not be difficult for a reliable sword sect to rise to prominence.

At this moment, Lan E approached Lu Chaoding again and said, "Sect Leader, I checked the sect management panel, and Sect Construction Task 006 should be completed as soon as possible. Please upgrade the sect to first-class status!"

Lu Chao retorted, "Do you think I don't want to? But the system doesn't give me any clear conditions. How am I supposed to know how a sect can advance to first-class status?"

"I know that!" Lan E smiled and said, "For a sect to advance to the first-class level, three conditions must be met under normal circumstances. First, the sect must have more than 10,000 disciples; second, it must have at least one max-level extraordinary expert; and third, it must have a widely available five-star item. As far as I know, the first-class sword sect, the Daluo Sword Sect, has 800,000 disciples, a peak expert, and the sect's exclusive weapon, the Daluo Sword. The Hongchen Sword Sect, also a first-class force, has over a million disciples, a peak expert, and its exclusive five-star item is the Hongchen Banner. The Qinglian Sword Sect, with 500,000 disciples and a peak-level elder, can inherit the five-star secret technique, the Qinglian Sword Formation!"

"oh."

Lu Chaoding didn't react much. He counted on his fingers and muttered, "Three conditions, I can't fulfill even one of them."

Lan E continued, "There are also abnormal situations!"

"What's wrong with this situation!"

"A sect with over a million disciples, a peak-level expert in charge, or a special honor at the Sword Cultivation Tournament—as long as one of these is achieved, it can be promoted to a first-class force without exception."

"Hehe." Lu Chao chuckled twice. "Let's ignore the first two conditions and talk about the Sword Cultivator Tournament."

"The Sword Cultivation Tournament is an annual grand event in the sword world, spearheaded and hosted by the Great Yu Dynasty. Basically, all the more famous sects will participate. Participating in the Sword Cultivation Tournament is the best way for a sect to gain fame and demonstrate its power. If a sect can perform exceptionally well at the tournament and gain recognition from sword cultivators in the sword world, it is not impossible for the sect to leapfrog into the first-class category."

"Once a year? That makes sense! After all, it's a game world. If it were to happen only once every few decades, the players wouldn't accept it!" Lu Chao retorted. "So when will this conference be held?"

"The sect leader only needs to go to Yudu, the capital of the Great Yu Kingdom, to participate at any time."

"Alright, I understand!" Lu Chaoding remembered that he still had 20 unidentified inheritance jade slips, which he needed to find an appraiser in the Great Yu Kingdom to authenticate. He could also learn about the Sword Cultivation Tournament while he was there.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Chaoding asked again, "Madam Lan'e, do you know how many first-rate sects there are in the Hongchen Sword Realm right now?"

Lan E said, "If we don't count the hidden sects, transcendent families, and dynasties, there are only seven first-rate sects, forty-two second-rate sects, and countless third-rate sects in the twelve states of the Sword Realm. Among them, the Daluo Sword Sect, Hongchen Sword Sect, and Qinglian Sword Sect can be considered the most outstanding. The other four sects are the Yaoguang Sect, Xingluo Sword Sect, Dahe Sword Sect, and Tiantong Sword Sect. Of course, in terms of power, the most powerful in the twelve states is the Dayu Dynasty. The Dayu Dynasty has countless experts and is even more powerful than the three major sects of Daluo, Hongchen, and Qinglian."

"So there were only seven first-class sects... If my Reliable Sword Sect is promoted to first-class, it will be the eighth sect in the Hongchen Sword Realm."

Lu Chao nodded, having already decided to participate in the Sword Cultivation Conference.

At this moment, another woman in a green dress walked over. She was Green Willow, one of the 100 wives of the sect leaders, just like Blue E.

Green Willow approached Lu Chao, bowed, and said, "Sect Leader, a servant has come to see you."

"A menial servant?" Lu Chaoding immediately thought of Xiang Rudan and probably guessed his purpose.

However, to test the abilities of these two women, who were outwardly ladies but were actually advisors, in the world of swordsmanship, Lu Chao calmly asked, "Ladies, what do you think? Should I see that servant or not?"

Green Willow said, "Sect Leader, I noticed that the servant has a Qilin mark between his eyebrows, which is quite extraordinary. He should be a person with good fortune, and he is probably not an ordinary servant. He is humble and polite when he comes to see me. Why don't we meet him and see what he wants?"

Lan E then bowed and said, "I noticed that servant. If I'm not mistaken, he's not human, but a Qilin, or rather, an extraordinary person from the Qilin clan. The sect leader should meet him."

Lu Chao replied, "To be honest, that servant is the son of the Peach Blossom Sword God of my sect and the demoness Yan Shangjing. His real name is Xiang Rudan. His father, Xiang Ruyan, was originally the leader of the Nine Qilin of Qilin Cliff. After I killed Yan Shangjing, he gave his Qilin bone to Xiang Rudan and entrusted me to take him to Qilin Cliff so that he could recognize his ancestors. Xiang Rudan came to see me probably for this matter. I have decided to take him to Qilin Cliff. Do you two ladies have any objections?"

"Qilin Cliff..."

Lan E muttered to herself, her brows furrowed, and said, "I seem to have heard of this place. It seems to be the secluded place of the Qilin clan, a hidden paradise not in the twelve states. It contains many treasures. If the sect leader can go there, please do so. Lan E is willing to accompany you."

Green Willow immediately added, "Green Willow is also willing to go!"

Lu Chao chuckled and said, "Bringing you two along wouldn't be a bad idea. Green Willow, let him in!"

A moment later, Xiang Rudan entered the Four Seasons Pavilion.

After obtaining his father's Qilin bone, this creature, Ru Dan, possessed an "astonishing" talent, but its appearance and temperament seemed unchanged. It remained honest and simple. Just as Lu Chaoding had predicted, it came to visit him, intending to go to Qilin Cliff.

"Sect Leader, my father said he has failed his clan and has no face to return to Qilin Cliff, but he wants me to acknowledge my ancestors and return to the clan. However, I still want to stay in the sect. I think life here is quite good..."

Xiang Rudan spoke with a sincere expression.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chaoding nodded and said, "Xiang Rudan, although you obtained your father's Qilin bone and your level has risen to 61, making you a Transcendent Realm expert, you still haven't cultivated enough and your methods are too limited. Your father probably wanted you to return to Qilin Cliff because only there can your talent be fully utilized and your growth faster. However, he was worried about you returning alone, so he asked me to take you back. Going to Qilin Cliff doesn't mean you've left the sect. The doors of my Reliable Sword Sect are always open for you. Xiang Rudan, do you know how to get to Qilin Cliff?"

Xiang Rudan nodded and said, "I know the entrance to Qilin Cliff. It's actually not far; it's in Tianyun City in Tianyun Prefecture!"

A moment later, Lu Chaoding activated his Heavenly-class Sky-Patrol Ship and set off for Tianyun City.

Originally, he planned to take Xiang Rudan to Qilin Cliff by himself, but now he has 100 "Sect Leader's Wives" accompanying him.

Lu Chaoding couldn't stop them from accompanying him; they were extremely enthusiastic and stayed close to him.

Many reliable sword players, upon seeing this scene, thought Lu Chao was taking his wives on a honeymoon trip.

However, having these 100 ladies traveling with us isn't a bad thing. After all, they are all experts, swordsmen, and know a lot. They can act as bodyguards, secretaries, and advisors, and we can chat when we're bored.

The Sky-Patrolling Ship was running at full speed. Lu Chao, halfway there, described the scene of his previous battle with Yan Shangjing to the wives of the sect leaders, emphasizing that Daozang Kong had taken away his seven Super Commoner Swords.

"Ladies, that old fellow's Great Universe Void-Breaking Divine Sword is quite powerful. Our sect leader suffered a great loss. I wonder if any of you have any way to restrain him?"

Lu Chao asked seriously.

The wives of the sect leaders were quite lively. Lan E said, "If I'm not mistaken, the old fellow the sect leader mentioned should be the famous Dao Zang Kong from two hundred years ago! Dao Zang Kong was the founding patriarch of the Great Sword Sect. Two hundred years ago, he was a genius on par with Ye Longxing, a pair of unparalleled talents. There was a saying that 'Dragon travels through the Seven Realms, Dao Zang Kong is the sword master.' Ye Longxing created the Great Freedom Sky-Patrolling Demon Sword, which seems to be able to travel through the Seven Realms, while Dao Zang Kong created the Great Universe Void-Breaking Divine Sword, and is most skilled in the art of void. In addition, as far as I know, Dao Zang Kong has his own exclusive cave heaven, called the Great Universe Cave Heaven. If the sect leader's weapon was taken by him, it will most likely be stored in that Great Universe Cave Heaven."

Lu Chao countered, "Is there still a possibility of taking it back?"

Lan E nodded and said, "Of course there are. If we can infiltrate his secret realm, we can not only retrieve your weapon, Sect Leader, but also likely gain other benefits! Sect Leader may not know, but your Nut Secret Realm has the function of detecting caves and grotto-heavens. In a suitable location, it can detect Dao Cang Kong's Great Universe Grotto-Heaven. Then, using the No. 2 Martial Arts Cannon, Sect Leader can send us there. We are willing to retrieve your weapon for you. If I'm not mistaken, Sect Leader can try activating the Nut Secret Realm's detection capabilities at the original Great Sword Sect's base. There's a high probability that we can discover the Great Universe Secret Realm..."

"You actually know about the Nut Secret Realm and the Martial Arts Cannon!"

Lu Chao was a little surprised. He had never shown his cave to outsiders, nor had he introduced the Nut Secret Realm to outsiders. He wondered why Lan E knew about these things.

"We assist the sect leader, so naturally we are very familiar with everything about him. Furthermore..."

Lan E's expression was serious and earnest as she continued, "Furthermore, as far as I know, Dao Zang Kong also possesses powerful methods of enslavement, capable of crafting and controlling special sword spirit puppets!"

"Crafting and controlling sword spirit puppets?"

"That's right! Dao Zangkong himself isn't very strong in combat. He usually relies on his sword spirit puppets to complete important battles. Usually, his sword spirit puppets are also placed in the Great Universe Cave Heaven. If the sect leader sends us into the Great Universe Cave Heaven, we will bring those sword spirit puppets out with us."
