Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

It must be said, the motivational effects of cultivation resources are truly powerful.
With the existence of the Dharma Transmission Hall and the Dharma Transmission system, the Mortal Life Path cultivators are all working hard to build the sect, and upon hearing this, external loose cultivators are arriving continuously.
In other sects, a more stringent sect gate system would make such situations as “loose cultivators joining” impossible.
However, the Mortal Life Path had long been fragmented, leading to the practice where external cultivators could bring their legacies and disciples and pay money to receive the Mortal Life Path’s title, which turned out to be a stroke of luck, attracting a large number of loose cultivators, causing the sect’s numbers to surge sharply.
Roughly estimated, just the cultivators at the Golden Core Realm have tripled in number based on their original count!
Of course, as the number of external cultivators increased, among the sect’s Nascent Soul Elders, voices advocating for “strengthening the core while weakening the branches” began emerging.
Everyone was worried that if recruitment continued recklessly, the voice of the original Mortal Life Path cultivators would gradually be overtaken by these external cultivator groups!
To this, Wei Dongliu sneered.
What is an “original Mortal Life Path cultivator”?
After thousands of years of the complete annihilation of the Tong Xuan Gate, leaving no survivors, where is any authentic lineage left from the Mortal Life Path?
As for what were later the three great sects here, Cloud Snow Mountain, Lingxiu Mountain, and Falling Moon Mountain, it is said they were merely a few discarded outer disciples from Tong Xuan Gate who returned to the mountain to reestablish the sect after its downfall; one cannot say how much of Tong Xuan Gate’s spell legacy they obtained.
As for other cultivators claiming to be “old Mortal Life Path,” originally they were external cultivators who joined in the recent millennia, having nothing to do with authentic Mortal Life Path legacy.
If you really want to talk about the “original Mortal Life Path,” the Dharma Transmission stone image in my hand, those ten thousand eight hundred Demonic Path secret techniques, that is the legitimate Mortal Life Path legacy!
Whoever I pass these secret techniques to becomes a legitimate Mortal Life Path cultivator!
Upon listening to several Mortal Life Path elders gripe about this, Wei Dongliu simply sneered and looked at them without a word.
Soon, the elders quieted down, not making a sound.
After Sect Master Wei left, the elders whispered among themselves:
“Looks like the sect master does not intend to speak for us old folks.”
“It makes sense; the sect master is still dreaming of being one of those six alliance hierarchs! A matter that gains practical benefits but harms false prestige, how could he agree to that?”
“But among these external cultivators, there are indeed a few troublesome ones. Recently, my direct disciple went to have a magical competition with someone and lost!”
“Lost? That is truly shameful. Are you really going to swallow this dumb loss, without defending your disciple?”
“If I act, wouldn’t that be a high rank bullying a low rank?” The questioned elder sneered and said, “I merely stood before him, and that kid knelt before me crying and shouting apologies, desperately begging to become my disciple.”
The elders:…
Though everyone simultaneously showed disdainful expressions, inwardly their minds secretly became active.
Exactly, because Sect Master Wei has the strong support of the Blood Sea Ancestor and refuses to change the current sect recruitment strategy, the trend of growing numbers of external cultivators within the sect has become inevitable.
However! This also means more fresh blood flowing into the sect, within which there surely will be many good seedlings.
As long as their quality is passable, whether the other party is self-taught, or a temporarily hidden piece of jade, there’s no need to hastily label them as “outsiders”… if they bow to me, honor me as teacher, learn the Dao from me, aren’t they then one of us?
Thinking of this, the elders fiercely criticized that elder, accusing him of using dirty intimidation tactics to force the outsider who defeated his disciple into apprenticeship.
Soon, everyone outwardly reached a consensus: defending Mortal Life Path orthodoxy is an inescapable duty! Whoever compromises with these outsiders is a traitor!
Then they each returned to their caves, hastening to instruct their disciples to explore and investigate if there were any Golden Core Realm yet to form, with promising talent among the external cultivators.
Wei Dongliu had no idea that merely not expressing his stance had inadvertently sparked a craze for accepting disciples, greatly accelerating the assimilation of external cultivators.
After confirming the personnel situation within the sect, Wei Dongliu’s next stop was the Dharma Transmission Hall.
Currently responsible for Dharma Transmission at the hall are Guo Jin and Wang Cong, both of whom have now entered the Golden Core Realm.
To be honest, concerning their cultivation talent, Wei Dongliu originally thought they wouldn’t be able to enter Core Formation… can only say Madam Jiang’s ample supply of cultivation resources enabled even chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven.
“Master!” “Master.” Seeing Wei Dongliu taking the time to come, both quickly rose to greet him.
Guo Jin’s excitement was evident, showing that the child was truly happy; Wang Cong’s smile was much more polite, as Wei Dongliu had spent considerably less time with her, she was still closer to Master Jiang.
“How’s the recent situation with Dharma Transmission?” Wei Dongliu signaled to the two not to stand on ceremony and then inquired about the main issue.
Wang Cong immediately handed over the register, which recorded who achieved great deeds on which year, month, and day, what cultivation techniques were received corresponding to those records.
Wei Dongliu briefly skimmed through it and found that those mainly receiving cultivation techniques were Golden Core Realm cultivators.
Although there are more cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Realm, they are ultimately weak, cannot contribute much, and obtain mostly low-rank cultivation techniques, unable to represent the sect prominently.
Nascent Soul Realm cultivators… there aren’t many external Nascent Soul Loose Cultivators, and most are rather reserved, rarely doing things like “earning contributions to receive cultivation techniques.”
Yet at this current pace, once these Golden Core Realm cultivators are promoted to the Nascent Soul Realm, the number of high-rank cultivators in the Mortal Life Path will surely see a significant surge.
At that time, perhaps a direct confrontation with Kunlun won’t be impossible… but by then, I might no longer need this Wei Dongliu identity.
Thinking of this, Wei Dongliu grew somewhat disinterested.
What’s the point of painstakingly managing the Mortal Life Path now? This foundation will sooner or later not belong to me; it’d be better to just let it rot.
Sullenly returning to his cave, he saw Jiang Lian had already returned, applying makeup before the bronze mirror.
“Madam.” Wei Dongliu once again recalled that the madam’s true body is a Heavenly Demon, so he tentatively asked, “Before joining the Heavenly Demon Path, what was your identity?”
“Why suddenly ask this?” Jiang Lian showed a slightly shy expression, “Before entering the path, I was once a fisherwoman from the East Sea.”
“Oh.” Wei Dongliu replied indifferently.
Even without using the Heavenly Demon Divine Ability, Jiang Lian could see her husband was in a foul mood, elegantly approaching him, extending her slender fingers, gently massaging his temples:
“Does husband have something troubling on his mind? Why not tell me about it?”
“It’s not much.” Although Wei Dongliu knew that if the madam exerted force with her fingers, given the divine might of the Great Unrestrained Heavenly Demon, she could probably crush his head directly, but with Ah Jing’s teleportation protection, he relaxed and casually said, “Just recently, I learned about ascension from an immortal.”
“Ascension?” Jiang Lian paused slightly.
“Yes, ascension.” Wei Dongliu spoke in a deep voice, “It is said that after cultivators from the Human Race undergo feather transformation and ascend to immortality, they must ascend to the Immortal Realm.”
“However, it’s not directly reaching the Immortal Realm, but requiring traversing a long distance in the cosmos, amidst endless icy chaotic heavenly river waters, with countless demons harassing and attacking, unremittingly.”
“Furthermore, within the universe, true yuan is limited and cannot be replenished, so calling it a one-in-a-thousand chance of survival isn’t an exaggeration.”
“Oh.” Jiang the Witch immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought what was it too, ascension? Ha, husband you needn’t worry at all.
Once you ascend, I’ll intercept you halfway, bring you to the Demon Palace as my exclusive male servant, then you won’t have to fret about any “icy chaotic heavenly river waters” or incessant demon harassment!
“Why is Madam laughing?” Wei Dongliu asked curiously.
