Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 564: Chapter 561: Three Thousand Years Lifespan!

This matter could only be considered a minor episode for the Phoenix Sect.

And the unfortunate one was none other than Pang Feng, who had been expelled from the sect.

After this, the Phoenix Sect regained its former tranquility, but the entire sect’s operations became more standardized.

No one harbored any more complaints - while the outside world might be beset by constant killing and rivers of blood, they enjoyed a peaceful existence within the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son.

From this alone, they understood the enormous chance at life Su Han had given them. To ask for more would truly be excessive.

Blood Crystals could be exchanged for Contribution Value of the Sect, and so could pills and Spirit Stones, among other things.

The exchange rates given by Su Han were proportional, ensuring no feelings of unfairness among them.

Many Cultivators stumbled upon opportunities by chance, obtaining exceedingly precious items, which they themselves could not use. Thus, they could exchange them for Contribution Value of the Sect, and then use it to exchange for things they could use.

After Su Han’s recent commands were issued, it was clear that the exchange quantity for Blood Crystals had skyrocketed.

The Blood Crystals of Demon Disciple Level directly breached ten million!

In the Treasure Pavilion of the entire Phoenix Sect, the crimson hue had completely overpowered all other glimmers. One glance, and it seemed as if the blood light was penetrating the pavilion, illuminating every direction.

...

Time moved on, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

”Boom!”

In the valley, a formidable aura burst forth, kicking up endless dust, sweeping in all directions.

Within that dust, the figure of Su Han slowly stood up.

His body, as always, looked the same as before, but upon closer inspection, one could notice occasional flashes of golden light on his body.

”The flesh of the Dragon Pill Realm Early Stage...”

Su Han took a deep breath and a smile crept up the corner of his mouth.

Throughout this month, he had been in seclusion, devouring Blood Crystals.

The robustness of his physique had fully reached the Dragon Pill Realm, and his lifespan... had increased by a full eight hundred years!

With the addition of the Blood Crystals he acquired before, Su Han now had a surplus of lifespan over one thousand years!

”The flesh of the Dragon Pill Realm, combined with the Cultivation Base of the Dragon Pill Realm — the fusion of the two truly allows me to sweep away all of the Dragon God Realm, even those ordinary Pseudo-Emperor Realms are no match for me.”

Su Han’s gaze flickered, ”If I were to encounter Duan Yunshan again, I am confident that, with the aid of secret techniques, I could slay him!”

”However, the greatest gain this time is not my physique, but my lifespan!”

”With ample lifespan, I can employ various secret techniques without backfire, and even cast low-level Forbidden Curses by consuming lifespan! Although one thousand years of lifespan doesn’t allow for many uses, those are Forbidden Curses after all!”

...

The Blood Crystals in the Treasure Pavilion were not only for Su Han’s use; after all, as a sect, the most basic resources must still be available.

As a result of Pang Feng, Su Han completely reformed the Phoenix Sect.

Like other sects, the disciples were divided into: Outer Sect Disciples, Inner Sect Disciples, and Pinnacle Disciples.

And within the Phoenix Sect, two more categories were added, called ’Direct Disciples’ and ’Inherited Disciples.’

Outer Sect Disciples, Inner Sect Disciples, and Pinnacle Disciples — these three types could cultivate any Cultivation Technique available to the entire sect. However, matters such as Dragon Techniques, weapons, pills, and the monthly Spirit Stone Salary were determined by Cultivation Grade.

After the last incident, no one had any complaints, for everyone knew that the higher one’s cultivation base, the greater the contribution they could make to the Sect, and naturally, the greater the rewards they would receive.

As for Direct Disciples, within the entire Phoenix Sect, only the Captains of the Five Divine Guard Corps, as well as the Grand Elder, Lian Yuze, and the Purple Demon Spirit Emperor Shen Li—a total of seven individuals—were entitled to accept them.

Of course, they would not take on disciples lightly, because their constitutions and cultivation methods varied. Thus, the disciples they accepted had to have cultivation practices that matched their own. Otherwise, even if they did accept a disciple, that disciple would not achieve great success.

As for the very last rank of disciples, Inherited Disciples, there could only be one, and that was the Phoenix Sect Leader, Su Han!

What does it mean to be an Inherited Disciple?

The term ”Inherited” means that one can inherit Su Han’s mantle, and even his position as the Sect Leader!

Without a doubt, becoming an Inherited Disciple was something that every disciple of the Phoenix Sect aspired to.

Su Han also set a rule that any disciple of the Phoenix Sect could strive for the status of Inherited Disciple. Even those from the Outer Sect or Loose Cultivators could compete for it.

With a time limit of twenty years, the Sect would hold a major competition every twenty years. If Su Han took a liking to someone, he would accept them as an Inherited Disciple.

During this competition, Shen Li and the other six would also take on Direct Disciples.

If none were selected, based on aptitude and potential, one could still join the Phoenix Sect as an Outer Sect Disciple, Inner Sect Disciple, or even a Pinnacle Disciple.

Of course, below the Inner Sect Disciples, there was another category known as Registered Disciples.

These disciples were not considered true disciples of the Phoenix Sect, but they were still affiliated with the Phoenix Sect. If they were to later show potential and talent, they had the potential to be promoted.

The establishment of these rules immediately invigorated the entire Phoenix Sect once again.

Many were discussing what rank of disciple they could become!

The first competition for disciples was set by Su Han to be three years from then.

This was the first competition, and the second would not come until twenty years later.

...

In the blink of an eye, five months passed.

It had been half a year since the Extraterritorial Demons had spread into the territory of the Phoenix Sect.

In these six months, Su Han’s physical body had reached the Mid-Stage of the Dragon Pill Realm.

Although there was no bottleneck for the physical body, the further it went, the more qi and blood it needed to absorb, and the longer it took.

Five months ago, Su Han’s physical body reached the Early Stage of the Dragon Pill Realm, but it took five months to reach the Mid-Stage of the Dragon Pill Realm.

According to his calculations, if he wanted to speed up the process, he would need to devour Blood Crystals from beings at least at the Dragon Pill Realm, that is, at the Demon Star Rank or higher.

However, although the strengthening of his physical body was slow, Su Han’s lifespan had increased by a full two thousand years in these five months!

Adding it all together, he had gained a total of three thousand years of lifespan, giving Su Han, who was still in the Dragon Pill Realm, a lifespan of five thousand years.

One day, Su Han suddenly opened his eyes and walked out from the valley.

”Have they come?” Su Han murmured.

Within his Divine Sense, there were over ten thousand figures appearing within Yuanshan County.

Right after, Su Han’s voice became a storm, sweeping over the area where the Phoenix Sect Disciples resided.

”All disciples, heed my command, leave the Sect and slay the Extraterritorial Demons!”
