Traversing countless worlds from the primordial era

Chapter 43 Pangu Sect

The giant hand slammed onto the shield with a loud bang, after which the shield's light dimmed and it flew back into Qi Sheng's hand.

Qi Sheng's expression shifted, and after a slight hesitation, he grabbed Qi Mingyu and left.

"You know when to back down, so I won't make things difficult for you. I hope the Nascent Soul stage expert from the Falling Cloud Sect can come over as soon as possible. How can a sect establish itself without strong enemies to establish its authority?" Lei Ming murmured as he watched them leave.

……

Half a day later, more than 30 disciples had passed Lei Ming's test, including Tang Xiang Sheng and Tong Hao. Both were at the late Foundation Establishment stage, the highest cultivation level among the disciples, and Lei Ming put them in charge of managing the Pangu Sect.

"Our Pangu Sect teaches without discrimination, valuing character over talent. The mundane rituals of ordinary sects are unnecessary." Lei Ming led these disciples up the mountain and explained his philosophy to them. "Disciples of the Pangu Sect should aim to pursue the Great Dao, learning from the strengths of every fellow disciple. Don't be bound by conventions or cling to old ways; constantly innovate and dare to break with common sense. In the Pangu Sect, there is no absolute authority. The sect has its own traditions, but these traditions are merely a reference for you. You must absorb their essence and transform it into your own."

Lei Ming's words left Tang Xiangsheng and the others dumbfounded. After a moment of silence, some began to regret their words, while others became very excited.

Lei Ming's next words were even more shocking.

"Our Pangu Sect does not have a formal apprenticeship system. Each disciple can voluntarily learn what they want to learn, and each disciple can also give lectures. For example, Qi Refining stage disciples can also open classes, as long as there are people willing to listen. Even Foundation Establishment cultivators can ask them for guidance if they find what they are saying useful. Everyone has different talents and strengths, so everyone should learn from and exchange ideas with each other, learning from each other's strengths."

"How is this possible? A Foundation Establishment cultivator asking a Qi Refining cultivator for guidance..." Everyone shook their heads.

Lei Ming smiled slightly, unconcerned. He stretched out his finger and pointed forward, and a cloud of white mist appeared out of thin air. The mist was drawn by some force and transformed into a dragon more than 20 meters long. The dragon's eyes were lively, its scales were clear, and its dragon aura emanated, making it seem as if it were alive.

"What powerful magic!" Tang Xiangsheng couldn't help but exclaim. When his gaze met that of the dragon, his primordial spirit was stunned!

"My spell is unmatched even by many Nascent Soul cultivators," Lei Ming said, as the dragon soared into the sky, clouds and mist rising beneath its claws, followed by a torrential downpour. The dragon writhed in the clouds, its roars echoing, and the cultivators below turned ashen-faced. Suddenly, the clouds and rain dispersed, a crimson sun appeared above them, and the dragon vanished without a trace.

The red sun only lasted a few breaths before disappearing, and everyone looked at the empty sky, feeling as if they were dreaming.

"Low cultivation level doesn't mean you have no merits," Lei Ming continued. "From now on, the Pangu Sect will establish an Academic Affairs Hall. Every disciple can apply to teach courses there. However, if you want others to attend, you need to have real skills. To attend other people's classes, you need contribution points, and you can also earn contribution points by lecturing to others..."

Lei Ming explained the Pangu Sect's system in detail, but everyone seemed to be listening to a foreign language. Fortunately, those who could embark on the path of cultivation had strong comprehension abilities, and everyone understood after Lei Ming explained it only once. However, understanding was one thing, but whether they could accept it was another matter, and everyone had different opinions.

"The Pangu Sect is unlike any other sect in this world; it is entirely new. The birth of a new thing can only have two outcomes: either it flourishes and grows, or it disappears without a trace," Lei Ming sighed. He had used the university system from his previous life to establish a sect, an attempt that was undeniably bold.

"So now I'm giving you two choices: you can choose to stay here or you can choose to leave. If you choose to stay, the Pangu Sect will be your home, and if you choose to leave, each of you can take one cultivation technique with you," Lei Ming said.

After Lei Ming finished speaking, no one spoke; everyone was deep in thought.

"Those who want to leave, you can tell me now," Lei Ming said. After waiting for more than half an hour, no one chose to leave.

Lei Ming wasn't particularly surprised. He knew that some people were hesitant; their decision not to leave did not necessarily mean they agreed with the Pangu Sect's ideology.

"Since you have stayed, let us work together to build the Pangu Sect. I hope that in the future, Pangu will become the most powerful sect in this world."

……

Inside the Falling Cloud Sect, on Six Wonder Peaks, Cheng Tiankun, accompanied by Han Li, summoned each of the sect's Core Formation cultivators. After the others had been greeted, Cheng Tiankun frowned: "Where is Qi Sheng?"

An old man said, "It seems that Senior Brother Qi has left the sect..." Before he could finish speaking, Qi Sheng arrived with Qi Mingyu.

"Disciple greets Senior Uncle!" Qi Sheng bowed respectfully, and he also saw Han Li sitting in the center.

Cheng Tiankun looked at Qi Sheng: "Your breathing seems a bit unstable. Have you been in a fight?"

Qi Sheng smiled wryly and pushed Qi Mingyu forward: "My junior's cultivation was sealed. I met that person and we exchanged a few blows."

Cheng Tiankun pulled Qi Mingyu over and poured his magic power into his body. To his surprise, he was unable to break through the restrictions within Qi Mingyu's body.

"Did you offend some Nascent Soul cultivator?" Cheng Tiankun couldn't help but ask.

Qi Sheng quickly shook his head: "The opponent's magical power is profound, but he is undoubtedly in the late stage of Core Formation."

Cheng Tiankun stroked his long silver beard and said, "Even I admire this person's mastery of the Five Elements Forbidden Techniques."

Han Li's heart stirred, and he said, "Let me take a look." His divine sense swept over Qi Mingyu, carefully examining the Five Elements Restriction Technique within his body.

"Indeed, as Senior Brother Cheng said, even I cannot break this Five Elements Restriction Technique, but I am interested in meeting him," Han Li said with a smile.

Qi Sheng breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and then recounted how Lei Ming had established a sect in Yunyin Mountain. Cheng Tiankun didn't seem to care much. A sect established by a Core Formation cultivator wouldn't affect the Luoyun Sect.

"Senior Brother Cheng, why don't I go and make the trip?" Han Li said.

"That's fine then, I'll have to trouble Junior Brother Han," Cheng Tiankun said.

After meeting with the Core Formation cultivators from the Falling Cloud Sect, Han Li left Six Wonders Peak directly. Another Nascent Soul cultivator from the Falling Cloud Sect felt something was amiss.

"Senior brother, Junior Brother Han's behavior is a bit unusual. Has he discovered something?"

Cheng Tiankun thought about it and also felt there was some problem: "Perhaps it's his personal matter. With Junior Brother Han joining, the strength of our Luoyun Sect has finally recovered somewhat. We should not be suspicious of him, so as not to cause any estrangement."

"Senior brother is right!"

Lei Ming finalized the Pangu Sect's rules and announced that the sect would be accepting disciples again in three months. Tang Xiang Sheng couldn't help but say, "Sect Master, although our Pangu Sect has a lineage, we lack cultivation resources, so it's really not advisable to recruit too many disciples."

"Inheritance is a resource, and if we don't have resources, we can exchange them with other sects," Lei Ming said.

"Cultivators use spirit stones the most, but the spirit stone mines in Xi Kingdom have long been occupied by major sects..." Tong Hao said.

"The Pangu Sect should have its own spirit stone mines." Lei Ming nodded. Spirit stone mines are both the foundation and the symbol of a major sect. "Where is the nearest spirit stone mine to us?"

"In the Yunmeng Mountains," Tang Xiangsheng said. "But the spirit stone mines in the Yunmeng Mountains have already been divided up by the three major sects. Even if new ones appear, we won't have a chance."

"I understand about this," Lei Ming said. "You don't need to worry about that. Your main task now is to spread the news of the Pangu Sect's opening."

Lei Ming was discussing matters concerning the Pangu Sect with Tang Xiang Sheng and Tong Hao when he suddenly sensed someone breaking into the formation. In an instant, Lei Ming vanished from Tang Xiang Sheng and Tong Hao's sight and reappeared within the formation.

"It's a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Falling Cloud Sect!" Lei Ming immediately recognized the other party's identity. With a wave of his hand, five array flags flew in five directions. The spiritual energy within the array surged like the tide, and five huge phantoms stood tall.

"Today I'll experience the methods of a Nascent Soul cultivator firsthand." Lei Ming's eyes flashed with excitement.

As Han Li entered the Five Elements Formation, he immediately felt immense pressure emanating from all around him, which surprised him greatly.

Han Li was no stranger to the Five Elements Formation; he was most skilled at the Five Elements Reversal Formation, but the Five Elements Formation before him was the strongest he had ever seen.
