The Immortal Cultivation World of Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy-Chapter 167. Opened the door to a new world
Chapter 167: 167. Opened the door to a new world
Heavenly Sword Peak, Thousand Swords Palace.
Deep within Thousand Swords Palace, a stunning young girl sat on the throne, her smooth, jade-like feet propped up.
She held a copy of Wangyue Daily in her hand, reading it while picking at her feet.
Whenever she saw something funny, the beautiful girl would laugh heartily without any regard for her image. After laughing, she grabbed a bright red fruit with the same hand she used to pick her feet and started munching on it.
The table beside the throne was piled high with various fruits, snacks, and Jadescent Nectar, with the floor littered with melon seed shells.
After quickly finishing the fruit, the girl wiped her juice-stained hand on her ample chest before continuing to read the newspaper.
Soon, a cold and beautiful woman of indeterminate age slowly entered from outside the palace, came before the throne, and bowed, saying, "Sect Master, True Master Yu Jian, True Master Xuan Jian, and True Master Lei Jian, as well as various elders request an audience."
This stunning young girl was none other than the Sect Master of Heavenly Sword Sect, Qin Yunzhu.
Qin Yunzhu put down the newspaper, displeased, and said, "What are they bothering me about this late at night? Can’t they sleep?"
The cold, beautiful woman replied, "I do not know. They said it was for an urgent matter."
Qin Yunzhu didn’t want to go out, but with so many old hags coming to find her, it must be something important. If she didn’t go out, they might just storm the Thousand Swords Palace.
She had no choice but to put down the newspaper and get up from what she considered her doghouse. She had been lounging there for four or five years, so the term "doghouse" was fitting.
Wearing just a thin shirt, Qin Yunzhu gently raised a hand, causing numerous streams of light to converge on her from all directions, forming an elegant and elaborate robe around her.
As she raised her foot, a dazzling and resplendent Golden Lotus bloomed beneath her step.
Stepping on thin air, with each step creating a new Golden Lotus, Qin Yunzhu headed out of Thousand Swords Palace.
"Let’s go!"
The cold, beautiful woman followed closely behind.
As they reached outside Thousand Swords Palace, Qin Yunzhu suddenly asked, "Chang Kong, what is that boy at Moon Viewing Peak up to?"
The cold, beautiful woman, Chang Kong, replied, "He went to the paper and ink workshop today, apparently to discuss the newspaper with Wei Yuanling."
Qin Yunzhu clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction, "He should be writing novels obediently, not running around all day. How does Ling Xiaoyue teach her disciple? And where is she?"
Chang Kong replied again, "She has not returned yet."
"B*tch, best if she dies out there!"
Qin Yunzhu cursed.
Chang Kong remained silent.
The relationship between Ling Xiaoyue and Qin Yunzhu was very peculiar. Apart from these two and Chang Kong, no one else in the Heavenly Sword Sect was aware of it.
The issue dated back to two years ago when Ling Xiaoyue forcefully took over Moon Viewing Peak, and even the entire high-level Heavenly Sword Sect couldn’t deal with her.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yunzhu secretly went to Moon Viewing Peak one night to check out this person who dared to take advantage of the Heavenly Sword Sect and possibly suppress her.
As it turned out, Ling Xiaoyue was quite slippery, escaping from Qin Yunzhu’s grasp like a loach.
Qin Yunzhu naturally wouldn’t give up and chased Ling Xiaoyue for over three thousand miles that night.
Chang Kong did not follow that night, so she was unclear about what exactly happened. She only knew that after they returned, their relationship took a very peculiar turn, neither like friends nor enemies.
The main reason Ling Xiaoyue could occupy Moon Viewing Peak for over two years was that Qin Yunzhu tacitly allowed it.
If it wasn’t for the Sect Master’s tacit approval, the Heavenly Sword Sect would have long since united to drive Ling Xiaoyue out and possibly razed Moon Viewing Peak.
A month ago, Ling Xiaoyue brought back a disciple. Qin Yunzhu didn’t care at first, until that disciple created a newspaper...
After cursing Ling Xiaoyue, Qin Yunzhu flew away from Thousand Swords Palace with Chang Kong, heading to Yuncang Palace to discuss important matters with the Heavenly Sword Sect’s high-level members.
Upon arriving at Yuncang Palace, the other high-level members of the Heavenly Sword Sect were already there, including the three True Masters.
Within the high-level members of the Heavenly Sword Sect, aside from the Sect Master and the three True Masters, there were only about ten elders, all truly senior and powerful figures. People like Yan Gulan or Feng Qin had no right to be there.
Seeing Qin Yunzhu appear, everyone immediately bowed respectfully, including the three True Masters.
Although the three True Masters were of much higher seniority than the Sect Master, their status had to be below her.
Qin Yunzhu sat down in her seat, yawning, "What’s the matter? Why call me here in the middle of the night?"
This behavior was something the three True Masters and the elders were used to.
True Master Yu Jian didn’t waste words with her and pulled out a piece of paper from her sleeve, handing it to Qin Yunzhu, "Take a look."
Qin Yunzhu picked up the paper and casually started reading it.
Gradually, her posture became more upright, and her expression more serious.
After reading, Qin Yunzhu asked True Master Yu Jian, "Where did this come from?"
"Ling Xiaoyue’s disciple, gave it to Wei Yuanling."
True Master Yu Jian replied, then looked around at the others present, "Everyone has seen it already, what are your thoughts?"
After reading the suggestions on the paper, True Master Yu Jian was deeply shaken. She believed it was the same for everyone else present.
In the Cultivation World, the most important thing was strength. However, aside from strength, reputation and influence were equally important, especially reputation.
The benefits were obvious; for example, in terms of talent attraction, a better reputation and wider fame would attract top talents from across the world, gradually enriching your talent pool and directly enhancing the sect’s strength.
If a sect hid in deep mountains and forests, unknown to the outside world, no matter how strong it was, it would eventually lose its lineage and vanish into history.
A thousand years ago, many hidden sects in the Cultivation World believed in isolating themselves from the world.
These hidden sects were incredibly powerful, with disciples generally having high cultivation levels, but they were too low-key and unknown to outsiders.
After a thousand years, these so-called hidden sects have long since perished, no matter how strong they were. What good did it do?
On the contrary, the Three Great Holy Lands with established reputations have managed to survive, just like many major sects.
Therefore, many sects were working on improving their reputation, although the results were often lacking.
Their methods were limited to sending disciples out to train, exterminate demons, and promote their sect, or participating in major events to increase their presence.
The Heavenly Sword Sect’s approach was relatively advanced, hosting trade fairs to earn both money and fame, but after many sessions, its influence was still limited to the Chu Kingdom.
Thus, when the top brass of the Heavenly Sword Sect saw Fang Zhou’s piece of paper, it felt like a brilliant door had been opened for them, shocking their hearts and minds.
So it turns out there’s another way to enhance reputation? It felt like a whole new world.
These high-ranking members could be considered brilliant, their intelligence far surpassing Fang Zhou’s, only constrained by the times and unable to see the path ahead.
Fang Zhou’s suggestion opened a door for them, and they immediately thought of more possibilities.
So when True Master Yu Jian asked for their opinions, the other top-ranking members eagerly shared their thoughts.
If they wrote some less critical cultivation insights in the newspaper, wouldn’t it attract more buyers?
And why limit sales to other sects? Other wandering cultivators are customers too. Once they know, ordinary people would know as well, broadening the influence, right?
We don’t only need to cover external events; we can fabricate major events and big news ourselves, making them more dramatic and interesting. freēwēbnovel.com
In no time, the high-ranking members of the Heavenly Sword Sect were brimming with eagerness, wishing to immediately produce this Heavenly Sword Daily and sell it throughout the Cultivation World.
