Live Strong in the Wilderness

Chapter 668 - 657: Establishing a Sect (Part 2)

So, he opened his eyes.

Lu Ke was outside practicing martial techniques and body refining techniques.

So, Xu Yi spoke up: "Lu Ke, what do you think about turning the Frontier Group into a sect?"

"A sect?" Lu Ke was taken aback, then stopped what he was doing and laughed: "Sure, I think it aligns better with our current situation. After all, we can be considered cultivators, right?"

"Yeah, that’s what I was thinking too. Although, it’s somewhat retro." Xu Yi grinned, feeling good about having support.

"I think it’s progressive, rather than retro. A sect is more gentle. I guess the human authorities would be more at ease." Lu Ke shared his perspective.

"Indeed, it’s definitely more gentle. Alright, let’s call it Yi Sect." Xu Yi came up with a simple name.

"Yi Sect disciples? Not bad, I like the name." Lu Ke said happily.

"So, you’re the Sect Leader of Yi Sect. As for me, an elder?" Lu Ke asked curiously, wondering what role Xu Yi would assign him.

"Of course, you’re the Vice Sect Leader." Xu Yi smiled slightly, then continued, "I still need to think about what institutions our Yi Sect needs, then come up with names and define their functions. Once that’s done, I can inform Lu Yao and the others to tell all the disciples of Yi Sect."

"That task will be a burden for the Sect Leader, I’m just a nominal Vice Sect Leader, not involved in affairs." Lu Ke joked.

Xu Yi nodded and began to turn his thoughts.

Lu Ke didn’t disturb Xu Yi and started preparing breakfast.

She felt she was more suited to take care of Xu Yi’s daily needs, not good at other tasks.

After all, she was just 18 years old, hadn’t been to university, and had no work experience when she joined this challenge.

So, things like managing personnel or teaching others to cultivate, she felt she couldn’t do well. She might even complicate things for Xu Yi, so it was better just to look after Xu Yi’s life or assist in battle.

After breakfast, Xu Yi had almost figured it out.

After all, the basic framework was like that, with no extravagant tricks to play with.

War God Department, Transmission Department, Pharmaceutical Department, Law Enforcement Department, Inspection Department, Logistics Department, Research Department. Currently, Xu Yi planned to create these 7 independent departments, each with a director and two deputy directors.

The Logistics Department should be the largest in personnel, with several sub-departments, including one to study the Spirit Race or other civilizations, called the University Hall.

Additionally, the Research Department would also have several sub-departments, researching weapons, materials, cultivation techniques, and brain crystals. It’s safe to say that the Research Department would be the most extensive and complex first department.

Once these ideas were established, Xu Yi held the first video conference.

This meeting marked the beginning of a new era for Yi Sect.

With Xu Yi’s news, people’s thoughts varied, but most supported Xu Yi’s decision.

Then, Cheng Jie became the head of the Logistics Department, Liu Li the deputy head. Of course, there was also a No. 6, who became a deputy director of the Logistics Department.

Currently, they were running logistics.

For the rest, Xu Yi had his own arrangements.

Qin Fan became the director of the Law Enforcement Department, with Lei Jie and Zhou Mo as deputy directors.

Lu Yao became the director of the Inspection Department, with Su Yan and Zhou Chun as deputy directors.

The director of the Transmission Department was Qin Chao, with Wang Jin as the deputy director. After all, the Transmission Department’s structure was relatively simple, with fewer personnel who just needed to be loyal enough not to let the cultivation technique recording stones be spread or given to those who shouldn’t have them.

Lu Ke became the director of the Pharmaceutical Department.

Xu Yi himself was the director of the War God Department.

In the Research Department, Xu Yi himself was the head, with all arrangements decided by him.

During the meeting, Xu Yi also discussed some details with them.

The meeting lasted until evening.

Everyone needed to continue thinking about certain policies or directions within their departments. So, besides cultivating, they had an additional task: striving to perfect their department.

After all, Yi Sect would be a super large sect with over a million people, akin to a small country.

Building from scratch naturally required a lot of time to perfect every aspect.

A weekly video meeting, where everyone shared their latest ideas, discussed them collectively, and established them if they were approved.

During this period, nobody slackened in cultivation; they still spent a significant amount of time daily on cultivation and battles.

Meanwhile, Cheng Jie, Liu Li, Zhou Chun, and Zhou Mo had been practicing the Awakening Divine Technique for more than 49 days, which meant they had no chance of awakening spiritual power.

Unless Xu Yi could provide more Spiritual Power Activation Potions.

Unfortunately, the system hadn’t given Xu Yi such a gift package again.

Time flew by, and half a month had passed.

During this half month, Xu Yi and Lu Ke had both achieved breakthroughs.

The speed was quite fast, and they both advanced to level 9.

Of course, this was because Xu Yi used his insights on leveling up and then shared them with Lu Ke.

Xu Yi discovered that using the spiritual power recording device couldn’t record the insights gained during leveling up.

If it could, Xu Yi felt that everyone would improve faster.

Because some people might be stuck at a certain realm for a long time.

Although Xu Yi had the spiritual power recording device to record cultivation techniques, he didn’t send them back after recording.

It was too time-consuming.

Once everything in Yi Sect was established, Xu Yi could have Lu Ke pilot the Pangu to fly above them, and then it wouldn’t be too late to give them the cultivation technique recording stones.

After all, no one else had awakened their spiritual power yet.

Awakening spiritual power was still very difficult, with a low probability.

Not everyone who practiced the Awakening Divine Technique would awaken their spiritual power.

Awakening spiritual power remained a rare occurrence.

After Xu Yi and Lu Ke broke through to level 9, they moved swiftly towards the territory of level 10 Fierce Beasts.

Unfortunately, Xu Yi’s spatial movement device could only transport him alone, otherwise, he and Lu Ke’s speed would have increased a lot.

However, their speed was already extremely fast, comparable to lightning now.

So, after a week, they reached the area where pinnacle level 9 Fierce Beasts roamed. Being here meant they weren’t far from the territory of level 10 Fierce Beasts.

Pinnacle level 9 Fierce Beasts were extremely powerful and highly aggressive.

If you got within a kilometer of them, they would quickly come to attack you, regardless of your level. In any case, they would fight.

Therefore, upon reaching the area of pinnacle level 9 Fierce Beasts, their speed slowed.

Because they needed to constantly fight with pinnacle level 9 Fierce Beasts.

Such battles were naturally a form of training and cultivation for Xu Yi and Lu Ke.

With three days until the 18th month, Xu Yi and Lu Ke finally arrived at the Foggy Area.

This meant they had reached the border between the territories of level 10 and level 9 Fierce Beasts.

However, there was something different about this boundary compared to others.

No Fierce Beast would inhabit the boundary of both the level 9 and level 10 territories here, and there were many bones at this boundary.

These bones were naturally those of pinnacle level 9 Fierce Beasts.

This made Xu Yi and Lu Ke very curious.

Were these bones left after a pinnacle level 10 Fierce Beast attacked and consumed a pinnacle level 9 Fierce Beast, or was there another reason?

Because of this, Xu Yi and Lu Ke didn’t recklessly enter the level 10 Fierce Beast territory to challenge themselves.

They decided to first uncover the cause of all these bones before entering the level 10 Fierce Beast territory.

After all, life is only lived once, and if you die, nothing else matters.
