Chapter 1878 He Wants to Be Emperor?

Tianyan Sword Sect

Main square.

Countless Sword Sect disciples stood ramrod straight, their eyes gazing fervently at the tall, slender figure standing on the high platform. The figure, simply by standing there, inspired awe, like a deity.

He is the absolute idol of all Sword Sect disciples, the new sect leader, Lin Jichen!

Lin Jichen rose from disciple to sect leader in just a few short years.

The leader of the number one sect in the world.

Currently, the strongest cultivator among the human race besides Leng Feiyan!

He had few rivals since the Enlightenment Realm, and now he has broken through to the Feather Transformation Realm.

Although the disciples did not know the sect leader's true strength, it was said that the sect leader had just broken through and had a 'friendly match' with the Ghost Clan Empress. The Ghost Clan Empress was no match for him and left in a huff.

I heard this from Elder Li Mu, so it can't be wrong.

Moreover, the earth-shattering tremors that day still send shivers down my spine, even from a hundred miles away.

If it weren't for the great elders risking their lives to protect them, the sect's promising young talents would likely be reduced by at least half.

Now that the sect leader has appeared and is holding a meeting, they all crane their necks and stand ramrod straight, as if doing so would make the sect leader glance at them more.

"Disciples, the Sword Sect meeting is not convened today to celebrate with you."

Lin Jichen's voice was like a resounding bell, carrying the unique spiritual power of a cultivator in the Feather Transformation Realm, yet also carrying a gentle warmth, clearly reaching the ears of every disciple.

“I know that many of you take me as your role model and yearn to break through your current realm as soon as possible to protect our sect and our human race. But today I must tell you, because the real test is far from over.”

"Zhu Jiuyin is still lurking in the shadows, and the entire Eight Desolations and Four Realms are still under its threat. I have a premonition that Zhu Jiuyin will reappear in three years at the longest, or half a year at the shortest! At that time, we human cultivators will have no way out, and a catastrophe that will sweep across the entire Eight Desolations will come!"

"Although I have broken through to the Feather Transformation Realm, it is still far from enough to deal with Zhu Jiuyin. If you think that you can rest easy with me here, you are sorely mistaken."

These words struck the disciples like a heavy hammer blow.

Many disciples couldn't help but feel worried. Lin Jichen was the strongest person they had ever seen, and Zhu Jiuyin was the strongest person they had ever heard of.

Even Lin Jichen said he was no match for Zhu Jiuyin. My God, is Zhu Jiuyin really that strong?

Fortunately, Lin Jichen changed the subject: "But crisis is also an opportunity. Within a month, the sect will open the Scripture Pavilion. All cultivation techniques, spiritual skills, supernatural abilities, and movement techniques can be borrowed and practiced for free as long as the cultivation conditions are met. Whenever a disciple reaches the breakthrough standard, the sect will provide the rare and precious materials needed for the breakthrough free of charge! Your only task is to start cultivating wholeheartedly from today onwards, improve your cultivation level, and prepare for the unpredictable disasters and trials that may come at any time."

After Lin Jichen finished speaking, all the disciples were overjoyed.

Free access to Sword Sect techniques? And free breakthrough materials too?

Is there any sect that offers better treatment than this?

It's like a windfall!

Many disciples, in order to cultivate a secret technique, do quests, kill monsters, and kill evil cultivators, all to accumulate contribution points to exchange for the technique.

But now the sect leader says that we can borrow and cultivate for free, and even breakthrough materials will be provided for free.

They all thought they were dreaming.

Such a wonderful thing could happen in the world!

Unfortunately, it only lasted a month.

The disciple who was about to reach the breakthrough standard was naturally excited, as he was getting breakthrough materials for free.

The other disciples could only go to the Scripture Pavilion to find cultivation methods to practice.

Learn as much as you can in this month.

Lin Jichen continued, "Starting next month, all disciples will need to be dispatched in batches to various locations across the four states to guard the borders of the Nether Qi Mountain Range!"

The disciples were shocked. Guarding the Netherworld Mountain Range... this mission was terrifying!

Lin Jichen sighed and said, "The hiding place of Zhu Jiuyin is most likely there, but the Mingqi Mountain Range is too big. If I were to search it alone, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. The best way is to mobilize all the forces of the Eight Desolations. I, the sect leader, will not send you to your deaths. You will only be stationed there. You do not need to investigate. Once you find anything unusual, report it in time, and the elders will come immediately. In addition, each batch of disciples will be led by an inner hall disciple."

As he spoke, Lin Jichen said, "Since a great calamity is destined to befall the world, as the saying goes, when the sky falls, the tall ones hold it up. Since my Sword Sect is the number one sect in the world, it is the tallest one. We can't back down, can we? If we don't do this, other sects will. If you don't want to do it, that's fine too. At worst, we can let other orthodox sects, demon races, and even ghost races laugh at our Sword Sect."

Upon hearing this, the disciples' initial worry and tension immediately subsided.

Yes, the eight wastelands are about to disappear, the world is about to end, so what's the use of hiding away?

Everyone immediately understood the sect leader's good intentions, and their eyes quickly became firm.

"Our Sword Sect will contact various sects and forces in the Eight Desolations and invite them to a meeting at the Sword Sect. Every sect will have to contribute. So, your next task is to cultivate diligently. Remember, disasters are not scary. What is scary is a cowardly heart. We are sword cultivators. If we are afraid, the sword will lose its power."

After Lin Jichen finished speaking, all the disciples performed the sword salute and shouted in unison, "We will respectfully obey the sect leader's teachings!"

Lin Jichen nodded, and with a flick of his sleeve, a massive sword intent, imbued with pure spiritual energy, merged into the brows of each disciple.

"These sword intents will guide your sword cultivation. How much you can comprehend depends on your own destiny. Meeting adjourned."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Jichen disappeared from the high platform.

At this moment, all the sects, forces, and races in the Eight Desolations received invitations from the Sword Sect, inviting their leaders to the sect for a meeting.

Moreover, the words clearly stated that those who did not come would bear the consequences themselves.

This blatant threat greatly displeased many sect leaders.

They felt that Lin Jichen just wanted to show off, to reform the human race, to unify the ghost realm like the Ghost Emperor, and to establish a one-man rule.

But they had no choice but to comply. Despite their displeasure, they still obediently replied to the Tianyan disciple who sent the message, indicating that they would definitely arrive as promised!

Even if Lin Jichen really wanted to unify the human race, they seemed to have no way to stop him.

He was already incredibly powerful at the Enlightenment Realm, and now he has broken through to the Feather Transformation Realm. It is said that even the Ghost Clan Empress was easily defeated by him.

What can we say now? What can we do? Just obediently comply! If he wants to be the emperor of the cultivation world, we can only grit our teeth and shout "Long live the emperor!"

As a result, forces from all directions across the eight wastelands, four states, and three realms began to take action, even preparing generous gifts to send to Lin Jichen.
