When these words were spoken by Ning Cheng, the faces of the patriarchs of many sects turned ugly, this move was just a little too vicious.
If Ning Cheng wanted to start some kind of boundary protection formation, only if it did not involve the interests of the rest of the sects would no one care about you. If you say you want others to donate materials, then they will donate materials? If I don’t donate materials, can’t you still rob them?
But not anymore, Ning Cheng wanted to set up the Tai Su boundary monument and engrave the amount of materials donated by each clan on the monument. This way, it would be clear who had donated how much.
If, as a sect, it ended up donating less material than an individual, then the sect’s reputation in the Tai Su Realm would be considered ruined.
“Lord Ning, I think that the amount of materials donated should be based on the voluntariness of each clan ……” The one who stood up to speak this time was Le Jiesheng, the City Lord of Tiansu Holy City.
“Fellow Daoist Le, I have just said that the Tai Su boundary monument should be erected based on the resources contributed by each clan. Daoist Fellow Le didn’t even donate a single blade of grass, and no one will say anything about you. After the Great Boundary Protection Formation is established and the Tai Su Realm Monument is erected, we will convene the Tai Su Realm Clan Assembly again.
For the rich clans that don’t pluck a single hair, the decision to persuade them to leave the Tai Su Realm will be based on the votes of each clan. For those clans that contribute very little, we will strictly restrict their clans from leaving the Tai Su Realm.” Ning Cheng simply interrupted Le Jiesheng without waiting for him to say the words that followed, not allowing Le Jiesheng to say the words Tai Su Realm Tablet at all.
Le Jiesheng was speechless for a while, and as he looked at the powerful strength of the Dan Society, he could only stop talking.
Even when Le Jiesheng was blocked by Ning Cheng, some clans with even lower strength did not dare to oppose even if they wanted to. Even if they wanted to oppose, they did not dare to stand up and oppose at this moment.
What Le Jiesheng did not expect was that. Ning Cheng did not stop there. After saying this, he still looked at Le Jiesheng and said, “Fellow Daoist Le, the Tian Su Sacred City was in chaos under your leadership, fighting, killing, and ignoring the forbidden air …… so now the Tian Su Sacred City will no longer be under your charge, but will be doubled up by the Dan Society. The Tai Su Realm will set up the Tai Su Dao Court, and after the Great Boundary Protection Formation is set up, the Tian Su Sacred City will directly come under the control of the Tai Su Dao Court.”
Le Jiesheng’s face turned blue with anger. But when he looked around, no one stood up to speak for him. He could only swallow his words once again; he reckoned that as long as he dared to retort again, this Ning might find an excuse to finish him off.
In fact, Le Jiesheng had really not guessed wrong, if he dared to continue to refute, Ning Cheng would simply take out a few pieces of evidence and let the Dan Club’s people finish off Le Jiesheng.
At this moment, he was rebuilding the order of the Tai Su Realm with the help of the East Wind, so he absolutely could not allow such a small person like Le Jiesheng to stand up and refute. If Le Jiesheng refuted and he did not dispose of it, that would be the biggest bad thing.
Seeing that Le Jiesheng was holding his breath. Ning Cheng also did not get mad at him again and continued to say. “This is the second thing I am talking about, I wish to establish the Tai Su Dao Court in the Tai Su Realm after the Tai Su Realm Boundary Protection Formation has been established. The Tai Su Dao Court is not meant to control the major clans, but to maintain the general safety and security of the Tai Su Realm and reconcile the conflicts between the major clans. To put it bluntly, if one day a powerful person came to our Tai Su Realm and everyone swept the snow from their doors, or even if no one could be found to take the lead in defending my Tai Su Realm, what would be the outcome?”
No one objected to this proposal of Ning Cheng’s, there had long been such an organisation in the Tai Su Realm, the Tai Su Realm Clan Alliance was it. It was just that this Clan Alliance merely had a name here, and usually only did some chicken and egg things. For example, the opening of secret realms, such as the extra-terrestrial divine spring that Ning Cheng had participated in before, and whatever else the Tai Su Realm Divine Aptitude Pavilion was, and so on.
Now that Ning Cheng proposed to set up the Dao Court, it was not sure how much more comprehensive than the functions of the Sect Alliance.
“Then I wonder who the Daoist Monarch of the Dao Court is?” Xiao Luzin of the Desolate God Palace got up and asked out loud.
Ning Cheng cupped his fist to Xiao Luzin before answering, “I suggest that the first Daoist Monarch be Senior Xue Ying of the River Saint Sect, and as for the Daoist Monarchs that follow, Senior Xue Ying will be the one to point out his successor. Of course, if the Daoist Monarch of the Dao Court does not satisfy the many clans of the Tai Su Realm, a new Daoist Monarch can also be established through the clan assembly.”
Xue Ying was a Dao Harmony powerhouse and was still in the process of crossing the Second Decline of the Celestial, so naturally no one would have any objection to serving as the Dao Monarch with such strength.
Xue Ying swept a glance at Ning Cheng, how could he not know what Ning Cheng meant. Ning Cheng was returning the favour by allowing him to serve as Dao Monarch because of his support as a Harmonious Daoist.
He was in the middle of crossing the Second Decline of the Heavenly Man and was not in the mood to serve as a Dao Monarch. After Ning Cheng finished his words, he said slowly, “A Dao Monarch does not necessarily have to have the strongest cultivation, but it must have the greatest contribution to the Tai Su Realm. If Guild Master Ning is able to set up the Great Boundary Protection Formation of the Tai Su Realm, I, Xue Ying, am in support of Guild Master Ning serving as a Dao Monarch.”
These words of Xue Ying were truly from his heart, ever since Ning Cheng had finished off the Barbarian Saheen Heaven, he knew that one day, Ning Cheng would stand at the same height as him. If Ning Cheng had really set up the Great Boundary Protection Formation, it would mean that Ning Cheng’s future achievement might be even higher than his.
For such people, he would naturally befriend them if he could. Of course, this was all based on Ning Cheng finishing setting up the Great Boundary Protection Formation, otherwise there was no need to talk about it.
“I also agree, if Guild Master Ning is able to complete setting up the Great Boundary Protection Formation of the Tai Su Realm, I, the Nine Turning Sacred Dao Pond, also agree with Guild Master Ning becoming the first Dao Court Daoist.” Shifu Yixing said after Xue Ying, clearly what Xue Ying had thought of, she had thought of.
Ning Cheng also understood what Xue Ying and Shi Yi Qing meant, that they were staring at how he would complete the Great Boundary Protection Formation of the Tai Su Realm. However, he didn’t care at all, setting up the Great Boundary Protection Formation with all his might was originally something he wanted to complete.
The two Hedao Saint Emperors had supported Ning Cheng to be the first Daoist Monarch, other sects, even if they were big, would not dare to say a word against it.
Seeing that all the major sects had endorsed making themselves the first Daoist Monarch, Ning Cheng did not continue to push back. He did not care about this Dao Monarch, the current situation was that if he became the first Dao Monarch of the Tai Su Realm. Whether it was setting up the Great Boundary Protection Formation or gathering the strength of the Tai Su Realm, it would be a powerful help.
“Thank you all for your support, and I, Ning, will boldly serve as this first Dao Monarch and preside over the arrangement of the Great Boundary Protection Formation of the Tai Su Realm. Although the Dao Court has yet to be established, I would like to announce one thing first, the Du Xuan Ancient Clan Chief, Li Feng, the Sovereign of the He Luo Sacred Clan, Wang Hwa Chong, the Sovereign of the Nine Turning Sacred Dao Pond, Na Dai Fu, the Vice Sovereign of the Seven Star Sacred Sect, Mu Yuankong, the Sovereign of the Xuan Yue Divine Sect, Fei Feng, the Sovereign of the Desolate Divine Palace, Xiao Luzin, the Sovereign of the Li Yu Divine Mountain, Peng Qi Yuan, the Sinking Fish Palace Chief, Luan, the Sovereign of the Silver Dragon Clan, Gong Mu, and the ten of the Heavenly Array Valley, Sha Su, are the ten pillars of the Dao Court.”
Ning Cheng’s words immediately made many people breathe a sigh of relief, the meaning of this was obvious, that was Ning Cheng did not want the Dan Society to claim the title of king and stand above the ten sects.
The Heavenly Array Valley’s Patriarch, Sha Su, even came forward to express his gratitude, the Heavenly Array Valley was still far from the Ten Great Sects. Now that Ning Cheng had made him one of the ten pillars of the Dao Court, it meant that Ning Cheng wanted to make the Heavenly Array Valley one of the ten sects of the Tai Su Realm instead of the Barbarian Dragon Clan.
This was Ning Cheng’s gesture of goodwill, and all he had to do was to try his best to help Ning Cheng complete the Great Boundary Protection Formation.
“The materials contributed by the clans will be taken care of by Clan Chief Li Feng. The remaining nine clans will supervise and strive to complete the Great Boundary Protection Formation of the Tai Su Realm in a fair and impartial manner.”
After Ning Cheng’s words were said, all the people in Tiansu Square spoke out in support. Even Fei Feng had no words to say, he had conflicts with Ning Cheng and Ning Cheng still made him one of the ten court pillars for the sake of the greater good. If he did not have the sense to do so, I was afraid that Ning Cheng would be the first to finish him, Fei Feng, before he completed the Great Boundary Protection Formation.
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Ning Cheng only said, “After the Tai Su Realm Protective Formation is completed, the top ten contributors to the Protective Formation will all have a formation talisman to enter and exit the Protective Formation at any time, without having to apply to the Dao Court for access each time.”
Although it was merely mentioned, Ning Cheng knew that those large sects would definitely not be left behind. As for the future source of income for the Dao Court, Ning Cheng did not mention it at all, not to mention that it would be taxed by the major sects.
As long as the Great Boundary Protection Formation was set up and the Daoist Court was in control of it, how much wealth would it need without? These riches were not rare for him, Ning Cheng, but were enough to support the Daoist Court’s operations. What’s more, the Dao Court’s business would be done throughout the entire Tai Su Realm, and there would be absolutely no worries about survival support.
……
Ning Cheng had convened this Tai Su Realm Clan Assembly in his capacity as the leader of the Dan Association, as several Mixed Saint Emperors from the Dan Association had come, the Du Xuan Ancient Clan and the Sunken Fish Palace fully supported the Dan Association, and Gong Huayu from the Silver Dragon Clan was also friends with Ning Cheng. Together with Xue Ying and Shi Yi Qing’s vocal support, there was no half-hearted pressure on this assembly.
Not only was the Tai Su Realm Daoist Court prepared to be established, Ning Cheng would also become the first Daoist Monarch of the Daoist Court.
It could be said that this clan assembly organised by the Dan Society was a 100% success.
At this moment, in the Tai Su Square, countless dan masters were gathered here, with Li Feng and the patriarchs of the remaining eight clans personally sitting down and beginning to collect materials, and countless clans and individuals had come here to contribute materials.
It was not that they wanted to be one of the top ten contributors, but all of them were very clear. Once the contribution is too small, I am afraid that it will be much harder to get out through the boundary protection formation in the future. If you contribute more at this time, it will be easier to get out in the future.
The Dan Association’s Ning Cheng Guild Master had even taken out Savage Sha Tian, and had also obtained the support of two Hedao powerhouses to preside over the arrangement of the Great Boundary Protection Formation, no one would think that he was talking nonsense.
Sha Su of the Heavenly Array Valley did not participate in the collection of materials, but led tens of thousands of divine array masters together with Ning Cheng, refining each part of the array flags according to Ning Cheng’s instructions.
The Great Boundary Protection Formation of the Tai Su Realm had nothing to do with whether or not the rules of the Tai Su Realm were broken, so to say that setting up the Great Boundary Protection Formation of the Tai Su Realm would not be easier at all than the Great Boundary Protection Formation of the Tai Yi Realm.
All kinds of formation flags were made and piled up on one side, and everyone knew that they were for setting up the boundary protection formation. However, none of them knew what kind of boundary protection formation this was. Even Sha Su did not know what this boundary protection formation was.
There was only one person who directed and controlled the arrangement of this Great Boundary Protection Formation, and that was the Dan Club’s Club Master Ning Cheng.
