Shrouding the Heavens: Simultaneous Transmigration, Heavenly Emperor's Stern Father

As for the remote and impoverished Yue Kingdom, it's better not to stay there.

However, despite its small size, the Yue Kingdom produced many legendary figures and a wealth of talented individuals.

Halfway through the flight, Ye Chen suddenly stopped.

He seems to be stuck in a fixed mindset: if you want to cultivate immortality, you have to join a cultivation sect? Who set that rule?

Ye Chen had an idea after taking charge of the Jingjiao Society in Jiayuan City.

"Instead of searching for a sect, why not create your own!"

He is currently at the first level of the Dao Palace realm, comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator in this world.

Of course, this refers to combat strength.

As for lifespan, let's leave that aside for now.

In the world of Shrouding the Heavens, even a Dao Palace cultivator is capable of creating their own blessed land.

In the human realm, a Nascent Soul cultivator is already qualified to establish a sect!

Moreover, Ye Chen is not an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator. He is still young and has unlimited potential. It is entirely feasible for him to create a powerful force.

"How can the cultivation world of Yue Kingdom be managed well if it's associated with those seven sects, these vermin!"

"I will control all cultivators in the world and annex the seven sects!"

"Let Yue become great again!"

The Yue Kingdom may seem strong, but compared to the six major sects of the demonic path, it's just a nobody.

The six sects of the demonic path said that, apart from the Ghost Spirit Sect which was at the bottom, any one of the other five sects could crush the entire Yue Kingdom with its own strength.

The Hehuan Sect, the foremost of the six sects, is naturally beyond question.

The Heavenly Fiend Sect isn't much worse.

The cultivation world of Yue Kingdom, as it is known, boasts at least one mid-Nascent Soul cultivator and nine early-Nascent Soul cultivators.

If the demonic path wants to be absolutely certain of victory, it needs to gather at least four mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators and three early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators before it can say that it is foolproof.

This is not difficult to calculate.

Under normal circumstances, even if two experts at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm joined forces, they would most likely be no match for an old monster at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Even with the secret techniques of teamwork, they could only manage a draw at best; to win would be extremely difficult.

For example, the Hehuan Sect's secret technique of "men and women working together makes the work less tiring" is a prime example of this.

"As your father, I intend to establish a new sect. Han Li, are you willing to become the Holy Son of this sect?"

Han Li was stunned upon hearing this.

Founding a sect, was his father really that ambitious? But it sounds like a good idea. Joining another sect would just be living under someone else's roof.

To establish your own sect means you're in charge!

The two have completely different meanings.

"Instead of joining a sect, I'd rather create my own. Father, I understand!"

Han Li said loudly.

"Good, you're full of energy. Now come with me to a nice place. Our sect is newly established and needs talented people right now!"

Ye Chen turned around and flew off in another direction with Han Li.

……

Tainan Small Meeting.

The once-every-five-years Lanzhou Young Cultivators Trade Fair was exceptionally lively this year.

In another month, the Ascension Conference jointly organized by the seven sects of Yue Kingdom will be held, and the arena competition at Tianwu Terrace has attracted young cultivators from all over Yue Kingdom to flock there.

As a result, the popularity of Tainan Valley has increased several times compared to previous years.

The trading square was bustling with people, with more than two thousand cultivators crowding the blue brick square to the point of being impassable.

The shouts of vendors, the haggling and the greetings of old friends reuniting rose and fell, creating a lively atmosphere just like a bustling vegetable market.

Ye Chen stood on the edge of the commotion, his hands behind his back, his gaze slowly sweeping across the square.

Standing beside him was Han Li, a boy of eighteen or nineteen, with a dark complexion, a thin figure, and wearing a simple blue cloth robe.

Outsiders would only think he's a poor boy who just came from a mountain village, and would never imagine that this young man is hiding some secret.

"Dad, there are so many people here."

Han Li said in a low voice, his tone carrying a hint of the timidity one feels when first entering the world of cultivation.

Ye Chen did not respond.

His divine sense had already spread out, like an invisible giant net covering the entire Tainan Valley.

The cultivation levels of these young cultivators in the plaza were laid bare before him...

The vast majority of them are hovering around the Qi Refining stage. The seventh or eighth level is considered upper-middle level, and the ninth level is considered a master. Occasionally, a few tenth level practitioners will pass by, which will attract the attention of others.

"Although their cultivation levels are low, they are all top-notch talents."

Ye Chen gave his own assessment in his mind.

It's not that he's being mean.

With his current cultivation level, he could indeed do whatever he wanted in a small place like Yue Kingdom.

The Heaven-Covering Technique already has a foundation; the first level of the Dao Palace Secret Realm corresponds to the Nascent Soul stage in the Mortal Cultivation Chronicles system.

Among the seven sects of Yue Kingdom, only the Hidden Moon Sect has two Nascent Soul cultivators on the surface, while the strongest cultivators in the other sects are only at the early Nascent Soul stage.

He came to the Tainan Small Gathering not to browse any stalls or exchange any talismans.

He's here to recruit people.

If his Heavenly Dao Sect wants to gain a foothold in the cultivation world of Yue Kingdom, he alone and his Qi Refining stage son are not enough.

He needs manpower, a team, and a group of loyal disciples to uphold the reputation of his organization.

The Tai Nan Small Gathering, which brings together the most outstanding young independent cultivators in Lanzhou and even the entire Yue Kingdom, is the perfect place to select people.

"Walk."

Ye Chen stepped into the square.

Han Li followed closely behind him, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at the stalls on both sides.

Talismans, magical artifacts, elixirs, spiritual herbs... each one made his heart race.

Although he was already a cultivator at the ninth level of the Qi Refining stage, he was almost penniless except for the Ascension Token and a few bottles of pills.

Ye Chen didn't look at the stalls.

He walked unhurriedly through the bustling crowd and finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous corner stall.

The stall owner was a gentle and lovely young girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a simple green dress, and was tidying up a few miscellaneous items on her stall.

Her stall was very shabby, with only a few ordinary spiritual herbs, a dozen blank talisman papers, and a few bottles of inferior cinnabar. Compared to the surrounding stalls that were full of magical artifacts and talismans, it was simply not worth mentioning.

But Ye Chen wasn't looking at her goods.

He was looking at her spiritual essence.

The spiritual energy within the girl's body was as pure as water, possessing both water and wood spiritual roots—a mark of true spiritual roots, making her a rare and exceptional talent in cultivation.

With such talent, one would have been groomed as a core disciple by the seven major sects of Yue.

Unfortunately, she was just a rogue cultivator.

"What's your name?" Ye Chen asked.

The girl raised her head, revealing a pretty face.

She glanced at Ye Chen with some wariness, but was quickly intimidated by the subtle yet powerful aura emanating from him…

That was the aura of a high-level cultivator. Although her cultivation was low, her intuition was exceptionally sharp.

"Junior Han Yunzhi greets Senior." The young woman rose and bowed, her posture respectful yet not servile. "What are your instructions, Senior?"

Ye Chen didn't beat around the bush: "Would you be willing to become my disciple and cultivate under my guidance?"

Han Yunzhi was stunned.

She had attended the Tainan Small Meeting several times and had never encountered anything like this before.

If a high-level cultivator of unknown origin suddenly appeared before her and offered to take her as his disciple, anyone would be suspicious.

"Senior, I already have a master..."

"No, you didn't," Ye Chen interrupted her.

"You have no trace of any sect's cultivation techniques on you. You are practicing the most basic and rudimentary techniques. You are not a member of a cultivation family, nor are you a disciple of any sect."

"You're just a rogue cultivator."
