The sensational news of the Spirit Comms in the Barren Land sent shockwaves throughout the entire region.
As word spread that the device could indeed enable people to communicate as if they were in the same room, regardless of their physical distance, the impact was nothing short of extraordinary.
At first, disbelief and skepticism rippled through the population.
The concept seemed too fantastical to be true, especially in a world that had lost much of its advanced technology and knowledge.
People questioned the authenticity of the claims, thinking it might be a hoax or an elaborate scheme.
However, as individuals from different corners of the Barren Land and members of prominent families began testing the Spirit Comms and confirming its capabilities, the initial doubts started to crumble.
It left the people awestruck by the ingenuity of the Su clan in creating these novel devices.
Who was behind this novel creation? Everyone thought for a moment before pushing such thoughts out of their minds.
The Su clan, now called the Celestial Heavenly Sect, was too powerful to harbor any hopes of discovering the secret behind their creation of these novel devices.
Now, what burned in their minds was when they would get their hands on this magical device called Spirit Comms. n/-o-/V-(e(-l(/B/(1./n
Meanwhile, inside the Celestial Heavenly Sect, the elders assembled inside the martial hall and looked at their clan master, or rather Sect Master, with pride and reverence.
This was the man who changed the destiny of the clan.
Standing up from her seat, Elder Hua began,
"Sect master, with the introduction of the Spirit Comms, the prestige of our sect is now spreading throughout the barren land.
Some of the curious ones came to our store to inquire about it, as they can't wait to buy it."
Hearing this, a beautiful and proud smile appeared on the faces of everyone inside the hall. They knew what this meant—money.
With the current sale of the Metal Bone Construct, the sect was already raking in a massive amount of profit, but now, with this, they could hardly contain their excitement.
Thinking of the wealth pouring in, they felt dizzy for a moment.
As for Su Yen, seated on his throne, his expression remained unchanged.
Money had little to no influence on him. What concerned him most was how this invention was going to ease the burden on everyone in Barren Land and the Lotus World.
Lack of communication had caused many problems in the past.
Many of the attacks by the Bloodmoon Envoy and the Monster Beast Race could have been avoided or overcome if there had been a proper means of communication.
He sighed. "I still have a long way to go in increasing the world's providence. Anyway, with the providence at the medium tier 1, it has given me a lot of time."
Coming out of his thoughts, he cleared his throat lightly and said,
"Money without strength is as dangerous as not having any money at all.
I know some of you have not been serious about your cultivation because of the impending arrival of the Bloodmoon Envoys in the next couple of years. But that has to stop."
His voice raised an octave, filled with solemnness. Immediately, the atmosphere inside the hall dropped several degrees, and everyone held their breath.
Previously, when they were still a sacred clan, they could entertain the thought of removing Su Yen if he misbehaved.
But now, they were the ones sitting on a razor's edge. They had all tasted the sweetness of the inflow of money into the clan.
How could they have any thought of letting that go?
Thus, they were all willing to do anything to maintain their positions as elders.
"You all know where our parents went. Perhaps, if they were powerful enough, they wouldn't have embarked on such a perilous journey," he said seriously.
Among the people below, Su Ming and Su Lan exchanged subtle glances and sighed deeply.
Previously, they had thought their younger brother wasn't aware of their parents' travels.
But who would have known he was aware of everything.
Inside the hall, everyone was quiet like a graveyard as they looked at Su Yen, waiting for him to continue.
Now, Su Yen's authority was unrivaled, and whatever he said would be final.
Even the three Supreme Elders were no different from the ordinary elders.
As for Su Yen, he didn't care what was going on in their minds and continued. For him to change the world, he must first change the minds of those beside him.
"We are a sect, not a clan anymore. Thus, we must show the strength of a sect. All elders below the Intermediate Body Building realm will be reduced to deacons.
For those in the Intermediate, Outer Sect elders. And for those at the peak of the Inner Sect, deacons."
Hearing this, everyone sucked in a cold breath, and their breathing became uneven.
From their high pedestal to the trench—what a slash in their positions!
Some of the elders wanted to cry but had no tears in their eyes.
Their previous low cultivation, which they thought was the right path, was now their doom.
Unbeknownst to them, each one of them was already thinking of various ways to increase their cultivation realm as soon as possible.
Watching the burning determination in their eyes, Su Yen smiled lightly.
"These positions are only temporary for the time being until the sect opens its doors for new disciples.
Hence, if you could have a breakthrough by then, you will be promoted."
At once, the tense atmosphere inside the hall was reduced instantly, as if it was controlled by an invisible hand.
Just as the elders were breathing sighs of relief, Su Ming's voice echoed inside the hall.
"What if we break through to the Qi Refinement realm?"
Hearing this, Su Yen fixed his gaze on his elder brother and sighed lightly.
"Core elders. As a core elder, you will receive an additional 30 percent of your welfare bonuses."
Thirty percent! Everyone widened their eyes to fully grasp the gravity of the words.
With thirty percent, how wealthy would they become, and how many resources would be at their disposal?
The more they thought about it, the more they couldn't dismiss the idea from their minds.
They must become core elders as soon as possible.
As the meeting ended, all the elders rushed out of the martial hall as if they were being chased. Seeing this, Su Yen couldn't help but laugh. Just as he prepared to stand from his seat, he heard the system notification.
