Stealing the Heavens.

Chapter 25 First Deputy Regiment Commander

"Junior Sister Qingwu, I still advise you not to use the Dragon and Phoenix Essence lightly right now," Zhou Xinyu quickly advised.

"How about this, next time the Demon Hunter team goes on an operation, let's see who kills the most demonic cultivators, okay?"

Zi Dong quickly suggested that if the discussion continued, Feng Qingwu and Zhou Xinyu would start arguing again, which would throw the Demon Hunter Team into chaos.

“Yes, what’s the point of us competing? Only by killing the enemy can we unleash our full potential!” Zhou Xinyu immediately agreed.

"Okay, let's do it this way!" Feng Qingwu saw that Zi Dong and Zhou Xinyu were wearing the same pant leg, so she would at least take up the other one:
"However, even as deputy regimental commanders, there should be a distinction between primary and secondary roles; otherwise, command chaos will occur during battle!"

"I haven't been at the Cloud Heaven Sect for very long and I'm not familiar with many of the disciples, so let Junior Sister Qingwu be the first deputy leader!"

Seeing that Zi Dong was hesitant and unable to make a decision, Zhou Xinyu took the initiative to defer, but what she said was also true.

"What are you still hesitating for?!" Although Feng Qingwu was somewhat surprised, how could she refuse such a good thing? Seeing that Zi Dong was still hesitating, she quickly urged him, worried that Zhou Xinyu would change her mind.

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now." Zi Dong agreed, feigning helplessness. As someone in power, even if you strongly agree with something, you have to pretend to be very reluctant. This is something he learned from the department head.

"What do you mean by 'temporarily'?!" Feng Qingwu immediately questioned angrily, knowing that Zi Dong didn't want her to be the first deputy commander.

"The Demon Hunter Guild will implement a reward and punishment system. The greater the contribution to the Demon Hunter Guild, the higher the position one will receive. Even I, as the guild leader, will have to give up my position if I don't contribute much to the Demon Hunter Guild!"

Zi Dong had already figured out how to manage the Demon Hunter Team. He needed to establish a strict reward and punishment system to enhance team cohesion.

"Alright, you'd better not go back on your word!" Feng Qingwu was overjoyed. With the Feng family's strength in the Yuntian Sect, her contribution to the Demon Hunter Team would definitely surpass that of Zi Dong.

"This matter will be handled by Junior Sister Xinyu. Just like the sect's Hall of Merit, she should strictly record the contribution points of each member!"

Zi Dong directly found Zhou Xinyu a good job: control the contribution points so that she could suppress Feng Qingwu.

"The statistics of contribution points must be fair and impartial!" Feng Qingwu had already obtained the position of First Deputy Commander, so she could no longer compete for the job of calculating contribution points.

“This is my specialty, I guarantee it will be fair and just!” Zhou Xinyu was very willing to do this kind of work. Back in the Central Continent, she had always done odd jobs for her master.

With the leadership of the Demon Hunter Group basically finalized, Zi Dong immediately returned to his cave to cultivate. The higher his cultivation level, the more luck he would gain, and the higher his rank would be.

As for the contribution points, he wasn't worried at all. Who could contribute more than him in helping the Demon Hunters gain fortune?

If Zi Dong knew that he could help Yun Tian Sect gain fortune, he would definitely go to Zhou Yunting immediately to ask for contribution points, which could be exchanged for a lot of good things.

Once you open up your dantian and activate your innate qi, you reach the first level of the Innate Realm. Once you condense a small qi vortex, you enter the second level.

If you can concentrate all the true qi in your dantian into a qi vortex, you will enter the third level of the Innate Realm.

This requires sufficient true qi, as well as a strong control of true qi by the divine sense.

The fourth, fifth, and sixth layers require compressing and liquefying the true qi in the dantian, while the seventh, eighth, and ninth layers require solidifying the true qi in the dantian.

Not only is more true qi needed, but also stronger control of true qi by the divine sense is required to liquefy and solidify the true qi in the dantian.

The ninth level of the Innate Realm lays the foundation for the Core Formation Realm, and the control of true qi by divine sense is of paramount importance.

When a cultivator advances to the Core Formation Realm and condenses an innate core within their dantian, they will simultaneously condense their primordial spirit.

The divine consciousness will undergo a qualitative transformation, becoming equivalent to a second life, laying a solid foundation for the formation of the profound body.

Zi Dong returned to his cave and transferred the luck he had borrowed from Zhou Yunting from the Demon Hunter Group's luck tree to his own.

Because they were both within his sea of ​​consciousness, this transfer encountered no obstacles, and the borrowed fortune belonged to him personally, having nothing to do with the Demon Hunter Group. Zi Dong himself still possessed a considerable amount of second-grade fortune, and after sitting in his cave for almost half an hour, he still couldn't make a decision.

If he were to cultivate, his second-grade luck wouldn't be enough to advance him to the peak of the ninth level of the Innate Realm, so it would be meaningless.

It would be better to wait until you have enough second-grade and third-grade luck, then cultivate to the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm in one go, and then try to break through to the Core Formation Realm.

Because he is in the Innate Realm, with the help of the Eastern Purple Qi, as long as he has enough second-grade luck, he is invincible.

Then he couldn't waste his second-grade luck, so Zi Dong decided to cultivate slowly without using his luck and wait until he obtained more luck.

Zhou Xinyu took on all the responsibilities, including searching for the whereabouts of the demon, monster, and witch races, so that Zi Dong could focus on his cultivation and strive to improve his cultivation level as soon as possible.

Zi Dong trusted Zhou Xinyu completely. Not only was her divine sense powerful, but she could also control more than a dozen flying swords at the same time. Even when facing a Demon Clan elder at the Star Refining Realm, she was capable of protecting herself.

Zhou Xinyu not only concealed her cultivation level, but also possessed an extremely rare light spiritual root, which, like divine light, could purify everything.

Zhou Yunting doesn't seem to have a light spiritual root. Zi Dong suddenly remembered that Zhou Xinyu might have inherited it from her mother.

Clearing away these random thoughts, Zi Dong immediately began meditating, slowly absorbing the power of heaven and earth without relying on luck.

He entered meditation a little too quickly today; he had barely calmed his mind when he immediately entered a deep meditative state.

Zi Dong circulated the Cloud Heaven Technique while examining his divine soul. Could it be that his divine soul had become stronger again?!

"Buzz," as soon as the Cloud Heaven Technique was activated, a slight buzzing sound immediately came from Zi Dong's sea of ​​consciousness.

With a "whoosh," Zi Dong felt his divine sense rapidly expand, quickly enveloping the cave dwellings of more than a dozen disciples, centered on his own cave.

Zhou Xinyu wasn't in her cave; she must have gone to search for the demons' hideout. Feng Qingwu wasn't in her cave either.

Wouldn't this be considered voyeurism?!

What if someone changes clothes in my cave? Should I just not look?
Zi Dong quickly withdrew his divine sense from the vicinity of his disciple's cave and extended it towards the open area of ​​Yuntian Peak.

The training ground, the deacon's hall, the dining hall, the scripture pavilion... With the mountainside as the center, Zi Dong could see almost half of Yuntian Peak in his divine sense!

why?
Zi Dong extended his divine sense to both the mountaintop and the foot of the mountain, constantly asking himself, "How did my divine sense suddenly become so powerful?"

It should be even more powerful than Zhou Xinyu's divine sense!
Just as his divine sense was about to extend to the summit, Zi Dong quickly withdrew it. Disturbing the sect leader was no small matter, especially since there were still the Supreme Elders on the back mountain.

It's because of the luck of the third to ninth rank that was borrowed from Zhou Yunting!

Seven colors—orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, and black—have been added to the main trunk of his Fortune Tree. Although they are somewhat faint, they have already changed the Fortune Tree.

I never expected that borrowing some luck would have such an effect. Is Zhou Xinyu's spiritual sense stronger because she borrowed luck?

Zi Dong gazed at his own Luck Tree in his sea of ​​consciousness and began to daydream again. If he had known this would happen, he should have borrowed it sooner!
No, his luck tree is special; it can hold luck of any grade, a privilege no one else enjoys.

The seven colors on the trunk of the Fortune Tree deepened a bit, but soon stopped changing and began to grow.

Zi Dong quickly checked the luck he had borrowed from Zhou Yunting and was relieved to find that not a single leaf had been lost.

These high-grade fortunes are nourishing his fortune tree and his soul, thus strengthening his spiritual awareness.
