Chapter 849 The Advantages and Disadvantages of Invoking the Ancients for Reform (Part 2)

Good math!
If it weren't for the special occasion, Ma Qianli would have slammed his fist on the table in excitement.

Chief Yang has a deeper meaning.

Why did they initially say they would stop at nothing to kill all but two people in the entire Changsheng Sect?

That means anyone can be killed except for Sun Cheng and Lü Zheng, those two lackeys.

Why did it later come to the conclusion that anyone who stood in the way, besides the twelve, would die?
It's obvious that all of us here have been included.

Ten Rejuvenating Pill Masters plus two lackeys make exactly twelve people.

But there seems to be a problem here. Elder Yang doesn't seem to have included himself in the count. Does that mean he's not considered a member of the Longevity Sect?
The Demon Lord in Hemp Robes wasn't included either.

Could it be that even the Demon Lord in hemp clothing can be killed?

There's still a problem with this calculation.

No problem, the key is to understand the spirit. Chief Yang is recruiting traitors and telling everyone here that no matter which side you worshipped before, your current godfather, no, your biological father, is Chief Yang.

This is opening a door of great convenience to save us suffering beings.

Ma Qianli wished he could kowtow to Chief Yang right now and respectfully call him his mentor.

He was racking his brains for a way to show his loyalty when he heard the fat man next to him, Li Mingyuan, raise his wine cup and shout.

"The chief!"

what happened?

Ma Qianli turned his head and saw Li Mingyuan with tears in his eyes, holding a wine cup in his hand, his body even trembling slightly.

"What the chief said is absolutely right."

Li Mingyuan stood up and addressed the group of Rejuvenating Pill cultivators around him.

"Actually, I've been tossing and turning these past few days. Whether I'm meditating or refining pills, I'm always restless. Why? Because the reason our sect has become like this is because there are far too many people who should have been killed but weren't—they're overflowing!"

Yes, you're the first one who should be killed.

Ma Qianli was somewhat annoyed by the quick-witted fat man.

Why don't I see you being this proactive on weekdays?

“It’s not that we brothers are ungrateful, it’s just that those people in the past misled our Eternal Life Sect. Now it’s different. With Chief Yang, we finally have a backbone.”

"Brother Mingyuan is right."

"We need to rely on the chief..."

There were no fools present; they could certainly understand Su Che's implied meaning, and one by one they immediately began to pledge their loyalty.

It's true that there are no truly good banquets, but it's also true that they want to bring everyone under their wing.

Su Che looked down at the group of Core Formation cultivators below.

"No matter what happened before, after today, you are all my people."

"In that case, I will explain our sect's future strategy."

Sun Cheng stood up, took a stack of booklets from the table beside him, and handed them to the Dan cultivators.

"Please take a look first, and you can raise any questions you have now."

The rustling sound of turning pages gradually stopped.

The group of cultivators looked at each other, but none of them spoke.

Looking at their expressions, Su Che knew that this plan was probably somewhat unexpected for them.

This is a plan for reforming the Changsheng Education Group.

After the transformation, the Changsheng Sect will no longer be what it is today.

In Su Che's view, the structure of the Longevity Sect in the past was that of a traditional cultivation sect. The top types of such sects were Xuandu Palace and Huangtiandao, characterized by prioritizing cultivation, and the entire sect resembled a large modern university.

The founder is an academic giant with various identities. He has a strong reputation, ruthless methods, can attract a lot of resources, and controls the allocation of those resources.

Below these powerful figures were their disciples, who held various positions throughout the sect.

For example, Huangtiandao was originally composed of the disciples of the head of Huangtiandao, and the disciples themselves had their own disciples, thus forming a huge sect.

These sects have their own system for the inheritance of their skills, and the philosophies within the organization are also very harmonious.

This applies to all major Xuanmen sects, from Xuandu Palace to Huangtiandao and Shenxiaodao.

There's certainly nothing wrong with this architecture.

However, the Longevity Cult is not suitable.

Both Xuandu Palace and Huangtiandao have cultivation systems that lead directly to the highest Dao fruits such as Earth Immortals and Heavenly Venerables. They both have distinct philosophies, and because of their master-disciple relationship, they highly recognize these philosophies.

The same standards are applied to the Changsheng Sect.

Then I can only apologize.

First of all, the inheritance itself is problematic. Not to mention the Supreme Dao, even the output of the Longevity True Person is unstable, and as for the Tribulation Law level, it depends on luck.

Secondly, internal power struggles were rampant.

The master-disciple relationship has been completely distorted into a collusion of interests. The master not only has power, but also controls the dissemination of knowledge and the distribution of resources.

They effectively control the life and death of their disciples, who have no power to resist. Forget about changing masters; once they become disciples, they are essentially slaves.

Disciples are constantly alienated, losing their personal independence, and are forced to demonstrate their loyalty by exploiting other fellow disciples.

The worst part is that no one in this system can escape these relationships.

In a demonic sect like the Longevity Sect, the Void Stepper is the leg support of the Six Desires Heavenly Demon, the Elixir Returner is the leg support of the Void Stepper, and further down, cultivators at the Divine Connection Realm and so on, though called disciples, are actually less legitimate than servants.

The high and mighty Demon Lord in Hemp Robes and Venerable Lingkong are nothing more than leg ornaments of the Arctic Yuan Palace and the Azure Heaven Sect.

With such a complex web of connections, the interior can be described as chaotic and corrupt.

The previous internal strife was a final reckoning of this distorted relationship.

Even if a wildfire brings divine retribution, it will only result in bloodshed and will not change anything at all.

Even if such a sect continues to develop, it will only be a case of regenerating its original decaying flesh.

Given time, Su Che himself will become the Demon Lord in Hemp Robes, while Sun Cheng and Lü Zheng will become Hua Gu and Jin Yunu.

In Su Che's view, this outdated model has no future.

The name "Cult of Immortality" is a particularly ridiculous joke.

As for immortality, no one in the sect is thinking about it; everyone is vying for fame and fortune. As for the sect, no one seems to revere the Demon Lord of the Extinction of Law, and no one knows what plans or schemes he may have.

It's completely nonsensical.

Therefore, Su Che's plan was to reorganize the Longevity Sect and turn it into an organization specializing in the production of elixirs.

Su Che discovered that traditional master-disciple sects were simply unable to adapt to the current state of the Longevity Cult, and would not have any positive impact on the organization.

The entire sect was like a demonic sect, constantly plundering and destroying, although its abilities were limited and the plundering and destruction it caused were very limited.

But it is itself constantly degenerating, and getting deeper and deeper into depravity.

The Demon Lord in Hemp Robes defected to the Arctic Yuan Palace, and Su Che, an outsider who suddenly arrived, took control of the sect's power...

If these phenomena are applied to spiritual practitioners, it is equivalent to a person losing their own "spiritual awareness" and becoming someone else's "family member".

The Longevity Sect is now merely a subordinate of the Arctic Yuan Palace in the Southern Wilderness.

I still owe you five chapters.
