At dawn the next day, Chen Shen was sitting in a high position in the sect master's hall, listening to Qing Lao, Yu Lao and others reporting on the sect's current overall situation, but he was a little distracted.
As early as half an hour ago, he had completed the succession ceremony with the brief preparations by Qing Fengyang, Yu Wancong, Duan Feihong and others.
It stands to reason that he is now the supreme ruler in charge of the Qingyun Sect - the supreme leader.
However, the system prompt that rang in his ears made Chen Shen very depressed——
"Ding! Although the host has successfully taken charge of the Qingyun Sect, the comprehensive strength of the sect still does not meet the requirements and is far inferior to the 'Qingyun Sect' that was previously designated as the indicator."
“Therefore, the host’s career mission ‘One Faction Supreme’ is deemed to have been completed and is invalid.”
"Please host continue to work hard to improve the overall strength of the sect as soon as possible."
"Ding! Special reminder: There are forty-one days left for the mission of a faction of supreme beings."
"Punishment for mission failure: The host's profound energy cultivation level drops to the realm of the mysterious master, and the five mysterious skills and all battle pets, puppets, and mounts are permanently lost."
…
"Chacha, you bastard, what is the algorithm for overall strength?"
Chen Shen was so anxious that he got angry: "In terms of talent...Although the mid-to-high-end combat power in Qingyun Sect has been almost driven away by me, it stands to reason that my strength alone is enough to surpass Qingyun Xiao and the original six
Isn’t it the sum total of the elders?”
"Including the current Qing Lao, Yu Lao and Duan Lao, as well as Liu Ruyan, Zhou Jingen, and the Wang brothers who have been strengthened a lot in retreat in the Posuo King City, they are not inferior to the previous elders of Qingyun Sect.
.”
"When it comes to the true disciples, the core disciples, the inner and outer sect elders, etc. who are most severely lacking, I am not wrong!"
"If Xiaobai, Red Rabbit, Hantian Tiger, Baoyuan, and the Eighteen Bronze Man Three Sword Guards are all released, their overall strength will be enough to crush them."
"As for the inner disciples, the outer disciples and the like...the cool army of skeletons is not enough to cover the gap. It is more than enough to make up for this gap."
"If it's because of the handyman disciples... Damn, are you kidding me? A thousand handyman disciples gathered together will only be worth the value of one core disciple at best."
"Since System Spirit evaluates overall strength, it cannot be calculated purely based on quantity."
…
In fact, within the Qingyun Sect, there is a huge amount of brain drain among the middle and high-level people. On the contrary, there are countless handyman disciples with the lowest cultivation level. However, the retention rate is quite high: more than 80% of them choose to stay in the Qingyun Sect.
It's not that they have deep affection for Chen Shen, the new sect leader.
It's really because the servant disciples' cultivation level is too low.
No matter where they fled, as long as they wanted to survive in the cultivation world, they would eventually end up being "enslaved" by others.
As for escaping to the secular world...hey, don't even think about it!
With the cultivation level of the handyman disciples, even if they are very lucky and never fall into the belly of the mysterious beast, they will not be able to cross the Qitian Mountains in the end.
Therefore, for these people, rather than leaving the organization and going into troubled times alone, becoming the "prey" of the stronger ones, it is better to stay in the Qingyun Sect and survive for one more day, just to get by.
At least, you can save your own life to the greatest extent.
Because generally speaking, no matter how much fighting is done between sects, they will not take the initiative to kill the enemy's handyman disciples.
One is because there is no need: most of them are just handymen in the Xuanshi realm. No matter how many you kill, you can't influence the outcome.
The second reason is that the handyman disciples themselves are no threat.
Nominally speaking, they are also a type of "disciples" of the sect; but in fact, the handyman disciples are the objects of enslavement.
They don't care who they serve.
There are hundreds of millions of handyman disciples in various sects, all living for the idea of being promoted to "outer disciples" and then ascending to the righteous path step by step - this is why they are willing to be "enslaved".
Before this, as long as the handyman disciples didn't make it through the day, they had to be "cultivation slaves" for a day.
Talking about personal freedom and the sense of belonging to a sect with a "slave" is simply a big joke...
"In terms of talents, the Qingyun Sect under my command is no worse than before!"
"In terms of resource base, not only is it not bad, it is also abundant, right?"
"First of all, I haven't touched a dime of the Qingyun Sect's sect treasure house!"
"And I myself plan to invest all the resources obtained from the Beast Refining Sect into the Qingyun Sect..."
Chen Shen thought about it, but he still couldn't figure out what the problem was.
Originally, he was still excited about the hope that after becoming the Supreme Headmaster, his career mission would be successfully completed, and it would be time to reap countless mission rewards!
Who would have thought…
"The supreme leader? The supreme leader!"
"Chen Shen!"
"Ah?"
A sudden loud shout brought Chen Shen back to his senses.
Immediately, Qing Lao said with a dark face: "Supreme Headmaster, what do you think of our proposal just now?"
"Ahem, I didn't hear this just now, I'm sorry."
"What? You..."
The three old guys blew their beards and stared.
The 7,000 backbone members who came with the hall also felt choked by Chen Shen's words: "Oh my god, I'm starting to regret it a little bit."
"Hmm... me too. How can he be such a supreme leader?"
"Alas! Although Chen Shen is strong and he also values friendship, after all, he is not even old enough to be weak. I am afraid that being absent-minded is inevitable."
…
"I'll go, is this the time for a breakup?"
Chen Shen broke out in a cold sweat and said hurriedly: "I and Qing Yunxiao have not passed the post-war period of weakness. Sometimes I have to distract myself to suppress the illness in the sea of consciousness."
After hearing this explanation, combined with the fact that the other party could not even stand firmly before, the disciples and elders were relieved.
The sullen look on the old man's face quickly faded away, and he cupped his fists and said, "So it turns out that this old man has misunderstood the supreme leader."
Yu Wancong also nodded slightly remorsefully, and immediately said: "We just said that we hope that the Supreme Leader can immediately select the candidates for the great elders of each hall, so that we can start work as soon as possible to restore the sect's vitality."
"Oh, that's right. That makes sense."
Chen Shen thought for a while and said seriously: "Zhou Jing'en, takes the position of the Great Elder of the Battle Hall!"
The rosacea-nosed old man was startled when he heard this, and then pointed to his red nose with an overjoyed look on his face: "Me? The Great Elder of the Battle Hall?"
"Why, you don't want to?"
"Hahahaha, how can I not want to? I accept the order!"
Zhou Jingen's face glowed red.
After this old drunkard left the Whispering King's City, he had reached the peak level of the Eight-Star Xuanhuang, and could definitely shoulder the burden of the Great Elder of the Battle Hall.
"Hmph, the war hall is related to the Qingyun Sect's plan to kill you. You old drunkard, please don't let alcohol interfere with your affairs!"
Liu Ruyan mocked quietly.
"Don't worry, I can't drink even if I want to - who told me to make a blood oath before?" After Zhou Jing'en finished speaking, he didn't forget to look at Chen Shen with his eyebrows dancing...
