After bidding farewell to Li Xinyu and Holy Lord Tian Wo, An Lin and the others turned around to look at their sect.
“Let’s go explore! We didn’t get a good look at the sect when we were in the air. Let’s make a tour of the sect now.” An Lin ushered the others toward the newly-constructed sect.
There was one main palace along with thirty-five branch palaces, all of which were constructed on the southern face of a mountain over ten thousand feet tall. All of them were carefully placed such that they formed a phoenix with its wings spread open, with the main palace situated as the head of the phoenix.
There were also ten main pavilions and a thousand abodes, which was positioned to form a wandering dragon. The beautiful Bright Moon Lake flowed between the dragon and the phoenix, creating a marvelous spectacle that also gave off a sense of balance and equilibrium.
There was unique scenery that could be seen from each of the main pavilions, and there was a drill ground that was also visible from all the main pavilions.
The twenty dwelling palaces as well as a thousand abodes were all extremely well furnished.
An Lin had initially thought that this would just be a series of intricately-crafted but empty buildings that he would have to purchase furniture for. However, al the essentials were already prepared, and there were even calligraphy paintings hanging from the walls, all of which were extremely pleasing to the eye and signed off by a certain “mighty snail”.
This was very astonishing to An Lin and the others. They weren’t expecting a construction job anywhere near as intricate as this! There were even calligraphy works from the mythological beast itself… and this had all been done in less than a day! What a terrifying notion!
Everyone made a brief trip around the entire sect, and they were all completely and utterly satisfied by what they saw.
“Her personality wasn’t that great, but she sure has done an exemplary job!” An Lin marveled in amazement.
“Her temper was explosive, but so was her chest! I wonder when I’ll be able to see her again. Woof!” Da Bai’s expression was filled with melancholy as he thought back to the spectacular Mount Breastverest that he had the pleasure of witnessing.
“Let’s work hard to earn more money, and we can invite them back here when the sect accumulates more spirit stones!” An Lin offered words of encouragement, “The first step is done, and the second step will be to set up the sect-protection formation!”
Sect-protection formation?
Everyone turned to An Lin with astonishment on their faces.
“Classmate An Lin, a sect-protection formation requires a spell formation, a power source, and materials to set up. It would be best if we had a mighty figure to personally set it up for us as well. Have we ticked all those boxes?” Su Qianyun blinked her beautiful eyes.
“Hehe, we don’t need all that because I have a formation disk!” An Lin replied with a smile.
A formation disk could be created when someone injected the dao intent of a spell formation into a certain item, and they were essentially all-in-one formation creation kits.
All they had to do was place the formation disk at the center of a spell formation, and all the power within the formation disk would be activated. It would be the equivalent of having a mighty figure set up the spell formation for them!
“Which formation disk are you referring to?” Su Qianyun cocked her head to the side in confusion.
“I’m referring to Emperor Chang Sheng’s Ninety-Nine-Fold Extreme Heavenly Formation Disk!” An Lin replied with a smile.
“Gasp…” Everyone drew a sharp intake of breath.
Liu Qianhuan was also astonished to hear this. “Holy f*ck! Did you manage to get the signature treasure of the Chang Sheng Pavilion? I’ve heard that that formation disk is imbued with Emperor Chang Sheng’s true intent in the dao of spell formations, and he would often use his own dao intent to nurture the formation disk. This is a priceless treasure that cannot even be bought with money! How the hell did you get your hands on it?”
A smug smile appeared on An Lin’s face. “Hehe, I am the renowned Small War God of the Heavenly Court! Emperor Chang Sheng was more than happy to oblige when I asked him for the formation disk!”
No one believed him.
An Lin couldn’t be bothered to offer another explanation, and he pulled out the formations that came with the formation disk before passing them to Liu Qianhuan.
“Next, I’ll have to rely on you guys to carve out the spell formation. I don’t understand these formations, so it’s all up to you guys!”
Liu Qianhuan was extremely proficient in the art of spell formation creation, and Xiao Ze and Bai Ling had also gathered a lot of experience and knowledge about spell formations during their long lives.
Thus, the three of them set about creating the spell formation.
With a formation disk here, all they needed to do was to create a spell formation in accordance with the formation drawings provided. After all, Emperor Chang Sheng had provided the dao intent and observations necessary to set the whole thing into motion.
Essentially, all they were doing was to activate the spell formation that had already been painstakingly crafted by Emperor Chang Sheng.
There wasn’t anything for Tina to do, so she fell asleep again.
An Lin, Su Qianyun, and Da Bai were also quite bored, and they came to the shore of the Bright Moon Lake to watch the swans frolic and play.
“Oh, right, Classmate An Lin, this lake was named the Bright Moon Lake by the Grandmaster Construction Cultivator, but she didn’t name that mountain in the distance. We should give that mountain a name too!” Su Qianyun pointed to a tall mountain in the distance with a slight smile.
“That’s easy! We’ll call it the Bright Moon Mountain!” An Lin gave an immediate response.
Su Qianyun: “…”
Da Bai: “…”
“Celestial Maiden Su, you should know by now that Big Brother An is useless at naming things! Woof!” Da Bai sighed with resignation.
“Haha, An Lin’s words actually inspired me. The mountain is adjacent to the Bright Moon Lake, so let’s call it the Full Moon Mountain!” Su Qianyun suggested.
“Full Moon Mountain? Like the one in the Heavenly Court?” An Lin asked.
“That’s right. We can then create a hot spring on the mountain and call it the Full Moon Pond! It would be great! It would be as if we were back at school even after we graduate!” Su Qianyun’s dreamy eyes were full of anticipation.
An Lin approved of Su Qianyun’s suggestion with a smile. After all, the main reason he had established this sect was so that all his friends would have a place to gather even after their graduations.
If Su Qianyun wanted to be reminded of the university when she came here, then who was he to say no?
A few hours later, the bright moon appeared over the night sky.
The Bright Moon Lake glistened with a magnificent sheen under the moonlight, and the starry night sky was also reflected on the tranquil face of the lake, creating a serene and beautiful spectacle to behold.
The entire place was extremely peaceful, but the sound of joyful chatter and laughter could be heard from beside the lake.
An Lin caught a large fish from the lake before cooking it in his frying pan.
Xiao Ze, Liu Qianhuan, Su Qianyun, Bai Ling, Da Bai, An Lin, and Tina enjoyed the delicious fish and drank some immortal wine to celebrate the establishment of the Four Nine Immortal Sect. Their dream had officially become a reality!
“We’ll have to think about how the sect is going to be run now,” Xiao Ze said.
“M-hm. The first step would be to announce to the entire world that the Four Nine Immortal Sect is now officially established!” An Lin chewed on a morsel of succulent fish as he spoke.
“Why? A lot of sects have come to offer congratulatory presents already.” Su Qianyun was puzzled.
“We’ll get them to come again!” An Lin replied.
Everyone: “…”
“Don’t forget how we managed to accumulate that three million spirit stones!
“Those were just some sect representatives who had come to visit us in advance. I’m sure there will be even more sects that will come to present congratulatory presents after we make an official announcement!
“Those presents are going to become the first major influx of funds for our sect!”
An Lin was right!
Everyone’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, and all of them raised both hands in the air to express their approval.
How could they turn down a method that could make so much money in such a short period of time?
This was exactly like celebrations on Earth for graduations, marriages, or birthdays. Why did they make the effort of holding so many celebrations? It was all a money-making ploy!
The more celebrations were held, the more money would be made!
Even though those methods had now been prohibited in the mortal world, there were no regulations against them in the cultivation world!
As one of the first-rate sects of the Purple Star State and even the entire Kingdom of the Nine States, they would be fools not to cash in on the establishment of the Four Nine Immortal Sect!
Everyone immediately came to the decision to make an announcement the very next day—the Four Nine Immortal Sect would be celebrating their official opening in three days!
