Chapter 324: Founding the Sect

On the other side, after rescuing Zuo Tianyang, Kenai Ling vanished along with the entire remnants of the Sword Demon Palace.

Although Kenai Ling disappeared, legends about her echoed throughout the cultivation world.

In less than a decade, across five or six life planets and hundreds of thousands of resource planets in the cultivation world, many people had heard of Kenai Ling and the tales of the Sword Demon Palace.

Because of this incident, no Great Emperor level powerhouses dared to remain on the life planet where Kenai Ling’s family resided.

Most of the powerful people on this life planet fled to other worlds.

Within the Sword Demon Palace, during these years, after Kenai Ling and Zuo Tianyang recognized each other, they focused on their cultivation.

Meanwhile, Li Xiaojun had already traveled around the entire cultivation world.

The cultivation world where his daughter resided was also primarily dominated by the Human Race and was nearly as large as the territory of the Saint Goya Cultivation Alliance.

However, despite such a vast territory, Kenai Ling was the only descendant.

This led Li Xiaojun to believe he needed to find a way for his offspring to prosper in this place.

So, Li Xiaojun decided to urge Kenai Ling and Zuo Tianyang to have children.

Since he did not wish to have more children himself, he thought it was better to let his daughter take on that role.

Li Xiaojun had considered summoning children from other places, but after some thoughts, he gave up.

This was Kenai Ling’s world; it should be her responsibility to govern it, and bringing in other children didn’t seem right.

In the background, while Li Xiaojun was secretly taking action, one day, Kenai Ling and Zuo Tianyang finished their cultivation at the same time.

They met up, chatted, and eventually, unknowingly, they ended up in an intimate relationship.

A week later, Kenai Ling realized she was pregnant.

"Tianyang, I’m expecting."

That day, Kenai Ling, with a strange expression, told Zuo Tianyang about her pregnancy.

In truth, she wasn’t fully prepared for having a child.

Moreover, it was generally difficult for cultivators to conceive.

However, to her surprise, after just one encounter with her beloved, she became pregnant.

"Really? So soon?"

Zuo Tianyang was taken aback, not expecting they would have a child so quickly.

Nonetheless, he felt extremely happy about having their own child.

Ten months later, Kenai Ling’s child was born—a boy.

The boy’s spirit roots were only ordinary low-level spirit roots, but with Li Xiaojun’s assistance, they were upgraded to earth spirit roots, which were much better than Zuo Tianyang’s top-grade spirit roots.

The birth of the boy brought great joy to Kenai Ling and Zuo Tianyang, and they named him Zuo Ping’an, meaning they wished for him to grow up safely and soundly.

…

“Tianyang, I want to recruit disciples and establish an Immortal Gate. This way, Ping’an can have some companions and support in the future. What do you think?”

That day, Kenai Ling approached Zuo Tianyang about the idea of founding an Immortal Gate.

The Sword Demon Palace itself is a sect with deep roots, offering a variety of techniques, crafting, alchemy, formations, talismans, celestial beasts, and many other professions to nurture.

Thus, Kenai Ling felt that since there was the Sword Demon Palace, it was entirely possible to create an Immortal Gate.

Moreover, after more than a decade of cultivation, Kenai Ling had already reached the Late stage Great Ascension. She believed it wouldn’t be long before she broke through to the Tribulation stage and became a Great Emperor level powerhouse.

Her original plan was to wait until she became a Great Emperor before founding a sect.

However, now that she had her own child, she thought it would be better to establish the sect early. This way, as her son grew up, he would have many senior brothers and sisters to look after him.

“I think it’s a great idea. With the Sword Demon Palace, we don’t have to worry about any targeting by other sects, so establishing an Immortal Gate is very good.”

“And besides, your immortal tool is fully charged, right? If anyone dares to provoke us, we can just kill a chicken to warn the monkeys,” Zuo Tianyang agreed with Kenai Ling.

“Great, then we will establish the Immortal Gate.”

Kenai Ling nodded and then asked Zuo Tianyang, “Tianyang, where do you think we should establish the Immortal Gate?”

“I think we can take over the territory that the Divine Fire Sect used to control…”

“Sounds good.”

…

That day, an event occurred that drew the attention of all cultivators on the entire planet.

The Sword Demon Palace, which had disappeared for more than a decade, reappeared.

This time, the Sword Demon Palace appeared directly on the territory that once belonged to the Divine Fire Sect.

More than a decade ago, the Divine Fire Sect suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Kenai Ling’s immortal tool, following which the entire Divine Fire Sect was eradicated by the righteous Immortal Sects, and their territory was divided among all the sects.

Now, the reappearance of the Sword Demon Palace stirred everyone’s curiosity about what would happen this time.

As everyone focused on every move of the Sword Demon Palace, a striking figure flew out from within.

This figure was, of course, Kenai Ling, the master of the Sword Demon Palace.

Once outside, Kenai Ling’s divine sense, which could reach eighty thousand kilometers at the Late stage Great Ascension, spread across the entire planet.

“Everyone listen, the entire territory of the former Divine Fire Sect is now under the control of the Sword Demon Palace. All members of other Immortal Gates must leave within three days…”

“Furthermore, all immortal families located on the former Divine Fire Sect’s territory must either come to the Sword Demon Palace to submit within three days or leave within that timeframe. Otherwise, it will be considered a provocation against the Sword Demon Palace, and the consequences will be at your own risk…”

With Kenai Ling’s announcement, soon, chaos erupted among all the people on the planet.

“Is the Sword Demon Palace really going to establish a sect? I wonder if I can join…”

“Kenai Ling has actually broken through to the Great Ascension stage, this is simply unbelievable…”

“Now what? The territory we just occupied is about to be relinquished…”

After hearing Kenai Ling’s announcement, countless emotions stirred among the people.

The Immortal Gates that did not occupy the Divine Fire Sect’s territory only lamented the fact that Kenai Ling had reached the Great Ascension stage.

In contrast, those who held the territory of the Divine Fire Sect were filled with despair.

Many wandering cultivators considered whether the Divine Fire Sect was indeed establishing a sect and if they should give the Sword Demon Palace a try.

Additionally, the immortal families that had taken root on the Divine Fire Sect’s territory pondered whether to stay or leave.

At the Zhengyang Sect.

“Sect Master, what do you think about this matter? Should we pull our people back?” A senior elder of Zhengyang Sect asked the Sect Master.

Upon hearing this, the Sect Master of Zhengyang Sect pondered briefly and then sighed, saying, “Let’s pull back. We can’t provoke that person, even the Supreme Elder doesn’t dare to mess with her.”

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall sighed in unison.

It was hard-earned to occupy a large territory, but now they had to give it up before they even settled in.

“By the way, Elder An, after our people retreat, please go to the Sword Demon Palace and transfer our occupied assets to them.”

“Understood, Sect Master,” Elder An nodded in agreement.
