After everyone had left,
the Buddhist Ancestor stood silently in place for three breaths before walking over to the chessboard and sitting down with a sigh, “Let it be, it’s just as well to act as a Loose Cultivator and start cultivating anew in the Vast Continent.”
“But still, weren’t you too generous, directly calling for ten percent?”
“Heh.”
Bishan Palace’s Ancestor sneered as he glanced at the Buddhist Ancestor, “Did you really think that giving up thirty percent of our wealth would be enough to keep us alive?”
“Sigh.”
After heaving a long sigh, the Buddhist Ancestor sat in front of the chessboard, somewhat despondent, “You say it so lightly, but this sect is the foundation passed down over so many years, and just like that, it’s gone from my hands. I still feel a bit guilty and ashamed.”
“Feeling guilty now? Weren’t you remorseless when you slandered Kong Ming?”
“What’s there to feel guilty about in slandering a person? We were just messing around.”
“Hey, you’re quite shameless about it. Wasn’t Kong Ming your Buddhist Sect’s True Disciple? Didn’t your Buddhist Sect pour a lot of effort into him, even crafting a tenth-grade Nascent Soul for him, have you forgotten?”
“I remember,” the Buddhist Ancestor said irritably, “He was supposed to be someone we had high hopes for, but the greenhorn got his Nascent Soul dug out just after leaving the sect and came back in disgrace.”
“For such a useless person who took so many resources from the sect and contributed nothing, is it wrong to let him take the blame?”
“Well, it doesn’t really seem like it…”
The two exchanged glances, falling into silence once more, both seeing the sorrow and helplessness in each other’s eyes.
Both of them were a half-step into Void Refining Cultivation.
Both were the leaders of vast forces.
Yet, after a year of plotting, both were reduced to poverty overnight, becoming Loose Cultivators.
“And another thing…”
Bishan Palace’s Ancestor suddenly looked at the Buddhist Ancestor with a face full of resentment, “You always said you had a contingency plan, but you never mentioned it was all this. If I hadn’t been smart too and had a backup plan for myself, wouldn’t I have died here today?”
“Haven’t you heard of the saying?”
A smug glint crossed the Buddhist Ancestor’s eyes, “Before planning a task, first consider its defeat.”
“No matter what, we have to first think about the consequences of failure and prepare for those outcomes. Then we can start planning.”
“This way, we can ensure that even if we fail, we’ll still have a great chance to survive.”
“Sigh.”
Bishan Palace’s Ancestor also sighed with a tinge of resignation, “I’m not sure how to judge you – call you smart, and you seem anything but normal; call you foolish, and yet sometimes you think quite a lot.”
“You too.”
The Buddhist Ancestor gave a high appraisal to Bishan Palace’s Ancestor, with a sense of empathy, “I’ve found you to be open to many ideas, not stubborn at all, not like other sect leaders who are so inflexible.”
“Especially when it comes to kneeling, you don’t drag your feet at all.”
“Most sect leaders who have long sat in high positions would not debase themselves as you did, dragging their feet.”

“I have decided—”
“After all, the third version update of the world’s turmoil has opened a ‘Vast Channel’ in the Central Continent, and for just a thousand Mid-grade Spirit Stones, one can travel to the second-grade Vast Continent.”
“I’ve always heard that the Xuantian Continent has a superior continent called the Vast Continent, where the Spiritual Energy is even richer, and there are more opportunities.”
“The Buddhist Sect has nothing to do with me anymore.”
“I plan to go to the Vast Continent alone to see if there’s any chance of breaking through to Void Refining. My half-step Void Refining Cultivation will never make it on Xuantian Continent in this lifetime.”
“You know, half-step Void Refining is just a Peak of Divinity Transformation that failed in breakthrough. For people like us who failed yet luckily survived, it’s impossible to break through to Void Refining again in Xuantian Continent, but there might be a chance on the Vast Continent.”
“Once again, I have to start over as a Loose Cultivator.”
“How about it, do you want to join me? The two of us can team up.”
“Us? Team up?” Bishan Palace’s Ancestor looked complicatedly at the Buddhist Ancestor and said, “Do you not find these four words a bit strange to your ears?”
“A few of us together, we don’t look like we could team up.”
“Do you really think you’re reliable? I feel like being with you might just lead me to my death.”
“Not at all.” The Buddhist Ancestor said earnestly, “I extend my invitation to you in all seriousness. Think about it, going to the Vast Continent where everything is unfamiliar, wouldn’t you rather team up with someone you’ve known for so long like me than with those Cultivators you’ve never met before in the Vast Continent?”
“If we team up,”
“it’s definitely better than going it alone, don’t you think?”
“…Fine!” Bishan Palace’s Ancestor clenched his teeth slightly and said, “I’ll trust you this one time, but you can’t betray me!”
“Rest assured, a man who has left the secular world never speaks lies.”
…
Xuantian Continent, Central Province.
Chen Qiu’s plan was straightforward – visit each family one by one, with clear principles.
Those with great enmity, execute everyone and then empty the treasure vault.
Those with lesser grievances, if they were sensible, there would be less killing, followed by clearing out the treasure vault.
Those with no grudges, if sensible, would just symbolically take a bit from the treasure vault.
Along the way, everyone cooperated nicely.
It was almost as if, knowing that he, Chen Qiu, was about to head to the Vast Continent, the elders of Guandong contributed their utmost support. Then the sects sent people to inscribe “Under the Jurisdiction of Chao Tian Sect” on every sect’s mountain gate, city walls, and everywhere else controlled by various forces including the Demon Race and Devil Clan.
In doing so—
He would not only complete the twelve milestone tasks but also replenish the foundation of Chao Tian Sect and the Dragon Clan.
