#896 - Chapter 896: Official Appointment
Luo Yangtian originally thought that the peak masters were reluctant to part with him, which was why they were staring at him so intently.
Well, it was just that he thought too highly of himself and was overthinking things.
"Oh, right, what I wanted to say earlier was that since you want to be independent, I will allocate a portion of the sect's resources to you."
"Each branch sect will receive spiritual stones ranging from 100,000 to 500,000, depending on the previous level of resource allocation. Natural treasures, cultivation technique manuals, and various spiritual tools will also be distributed accordingly."
As soon as Luo Yangtian's words came out, the peak masters fell into silence. For example, Qin Wuyi, who was the most uncomfortable, was punished by Luo Yangtian for failing to discipline Qin Shou properly, and his resource supply was halved.
Ye Kong's Xiaoyao Peak has always been the weakest among the nine peaks, and the resources it could receive were also the least, even though Luo Yangtian had tried his best to allocate more to it.
However, Ye Kong never took it to heart. He had a system with endless resources, which he could enjoy inexhaustibly.
Soon, the news of the independence of each peak spread within the sect, and all the disciples were shocked. Everywhere in the sect, there was discussion.
Peak disciples were originally the disciples with the best cultivation and aptitude in each peak, and they would be qualified to inherit the position of peak master in the future. Now, they were also allowed to go out and establish their own sect with the peak master.
This meant that the Star River Sect's best reserve force was being withdrawn all at once.
However, the remaining disciples practiced even harder, after all, there were more opportunities.
The governance crisis of Zixia Pavilion became increasingly prominent. Ye Ling, along with Mu Qianyuan, a star observer from the Lianyun Continent's Star Observation Pavilion, and a group of Spirit Guard, were busy and exhausted all day long.
Just at this time, Ye Ling saw Yu, the founder of the Star Observation Pavilion in Dongjin Continent, idly wandering around Zixia Pavilion. Ye Ling ran over to ask him for help.
"Yu, you have been doing nothing in Zixia Pavilion for days. Now that the rule of the cultivation world has returned to the human race, there is a great shortage of people. How about..."
Before Ye Ling could finish speaking, Yu interjected, "This old man has been underground for too long. It's rare to come out and move around. I am willing to share the worries of Lord Ling."
Ye Ling was immediately overjoyed.
In addition to Yu from Dongjin Continent, Yun from Lianyun Continent, and the other ten founders of the Star Observation Pavilion could also be called out together.
After speaking, Ye Ling walked to the desk, took out a quill pen, and with a few "clicks," a decree with the gilded word "Recall" was drafted.
Then, she called Lin Yaoyao, Xiaobai, and Xiaoqing, "You will temporarily work under Xuan's command, each in charge of one hundred Spirit Guard."
"Later, it will depend on your own abilities. Suitable positions will be adjusted or promoted."
When the three heard that Ye Ling was only letting them manage a hundred people, they were immediately unhappy.
At least they used to be Great Emperors, in charge of the life and death of at least tens of thousands of people. Now, it was good, they were only given a hundred people to manage. Was this looking down on them?
Seeing the unhappy expressions of the three, Ye Ling was indeed insightful and saw through their thoughts.
"If you think my place is too small to accommodate you great Buddhas, you can leave," Ye Ling's tone was full of sharpness. She wouldn't indulge these little cubs.
"Lord Ling, we dare not!" The three nodded and answered in unison.
Managing a hundred people was still an official, no matter how small. It was better to do it first than to watch Master fishing by the Bitter Sea every day on Xiaoyao Peak.
So, after the three figured it out, they gladly accepted and quickly followed Xuan down to receive the Spirit Guard's clothes and equipment.
Although Xuan was nominally their superior, he knew that these three had high cultivation and aptitude, and it was impossible for them to be fish in the dust forever.
Therefore, he did not treat them as harshly as he treated other Spirit Guard, but more like a senior brother.
Although he had been beaten by Xiaobai, if he retaliated now, Ye Ling would definitely favor her, so he could only give up.
"There are three disciplines of the Spirit Guard: first, absolute obedience to the orders of superiors; second, without tasks, the daily martial arts practice time cannot be less than three hours; third, everything is based on achieving the goal, and the result is the most important."
After receiving the clothes, Xuan said to the three with a calm and stern voice.
"Yes, Lord Xuan," the three answered with a provocative tone, not taking Xuan seriously at all. I don't even obey my master, how could I obey a mere Spirit Guard commander.
Xuan was not angry, it was within his expectations. He stretched out his hand and grabbed into the void, making a "click" sound.
A golden decree appeared in his hand, "You are now ushering in your first task. Take this decree to awaken those sleeping founders of the Star Observation Pavilion, besides Yun from Lianyun Continent and Yu from Dongjin Continent, there are ten others."
"Yes!" The three answered in unison.
The three took the decree, quickly changed their clothes and equipment, and each led a hundred people to set off.
There are twelve continents in the cultivation world, and each continent has a Star Observation Pavilion to rule the continent. However, with the rise of other races, they gradually disobeyed the rule of the Star Observation Pavilion.
They clamored for autonomy. Thousands of years passed, and with the sleep of the ancestors of the Star Observation Pavilion, the ruling ability of the Star Observation Pavilions in each continent became lower.
Now that the human race has risen, those races that opposed the human race have also been cleaned up, and the power of rule has naturally returned to the human race.
Therefore, these old ancestors who have been sleeping for many years need to come out to assist in order to control the stability of the cultivation world.
In Xiaoyao Peak, the other disciples saw that Lin Yaoyao, Xiaobai, and Xiaoqing had all left. Although they are currently nominally called Xiaoyao Sect, the number of people is still the same.
Watching Master Ye Kong fishing by the Bitter Sea every day, their hearts began to become茫然, where is the future road.
Ye Wuxin was immersed in the library all day long. In the process of sorting out ancient books in the Star River Sect, he had developed a great interest in the study of ancient books and cultivation techniques.
One day, he found a dusty book in a pile of thick ancient books. He carefully wiped away the dust and found that it was written "Avatamsaka Sutra".
Although he had given up the idea of Buddhism, he still opened it to take a look as if possessed.
When he saw the sentence: Just like a lotus flower does not touch water, and like the sun and moon do not dwell in the sky.
His heart instantly boiled. This lotus flower and sun and moon are like the human heart, here and not trapped here, so that the heart can be free.
All sentient beings possess the wisdom and virtue of the Tathagata, but they cannot attain it because of妄想執着.
The moment he saw this sentence, a flame fiercely rose in Ye Wuxin's heart, as if illuminating the entire body and mind.
Buddha is the person of the past, and man is the future Buddha. Although all sentient beings are different in appearance, their Buddha-nature is no different.
The reason why they are sentient beings is only because妄想執着 cover the Buddha-nature.
If one can extinguish妄想執着, the Buddha-nature will naturally appear.
