Divine Replication System

1As the sole peak Emperor Level and Grand Elder of the Canglan Sect, Cang Shuiyue wielded complete control over the entire organization without dispute. She was intimately acquainted with the state of affairs within the Canglan Hall. After a brief period of reflection, she had more or less pieced everything together. Her previous lack of clarity had been due to being misled by the situations in the other halls. Indeed, concern can lead to confusion. But now, things were looking up.    

    

Canglan Hall had emerged as the only entity that hadn't exploited resources and treasures during the recent mission, standing out conspicuously. The Martial Puppet's loyalty to Lin Xuan was so profound that it wouldn't even consider accepting bribes or favors, a standard they themselves couldn't match. It was unlikely that the Martial Puppet would conceal this fact and would surely report everything as it happened, catching Lin Xuan's attention.    

    

Canglan Hall, and by extension Cang Shuiyue, might just reap unexpected benefits and rewards. The upper echelons of the Canglan Hall, including Cang Shuiyue, eagerly anticipated this. They knew that even the smallest favor from such a powerful figure could be of great significance to them.    

    

Wei Zhengzhen, Yang Mao, Lei Potian, and others looked on at Cang Shuiyue with a mix of envy and resentment. They had assumed that all five halls were on equal footing, but it turned out that Canglan Hall was exceptional. What were they to do in light of this?    

    

Moreover, the five major powers had been conquered by Lin Xuan and transformed into the five great halls of the Celestial Essence Hall. These halls now stood on equal ground, making it improper to hastily instigate a sect war. They could no longer pose a threat to Canglan Hall. Additionally, not too long ago, Lin Xuan had enhanced the protective array of the Canglan Hall, rendering them even more incapable of challenging it. The days of overt and covert struggles, of petty schemes, were over.    

    

With the formidable Lin Xuan overseeing them, any misstep could lead to their replacement. After all, to him, those at the peak Emperor Level were as insignificant as ants, easily crushed if necessary. If one were to fall, another would simply take their place. To Lin Xuan, there was no discernible difference between the late period Emperor Level and the peak Emperor Level.    

    

As long as they're obedient and useful, that's what matters.    

    

Times have indeed changed.    

    

All they can do is look on with envy.    

    

"Besides that, how are the various provincial branches of the Devil Cloud Sect being handled?"    

    

The Martial Puppet remained impassive as he collected the numerous storage rings from the table.    

    

He was somewhat surprised to find that Canglan Hall differed from the other four major halls, with no one engaging in embezzlement, but it was only a mild surprise.    

    

Whether the outcome was good or bad, it had no bearing on him.    

    

His sole responsibility was to diligently carry out his assigned tasks.    

    

Everything else was not his concern.    

    

Regarding the mission previously assigned by Lin Xuan, aside from retrieving some of his old acquaintances, family, and friends,    

    

he was to collect half of the savings from all the Emperor Level forces across the entire Dongyuan Continent as a gift for the grand opening ceremony of Tianyuan Palace.    

    

Additionally, he was tasked with eradicating all the branches of the Devil Cloud Sect on the Dongyuan Continent.    

    

Not a single Devil Cloud Sect martial cultivator was to be spared; they were to be completely wiped out.    

    

This merciless approach was truly alarming.    

    

Thankfully, Lin Xuan had already decimated the Devil Cloud Sect's headquarters.    

    

With the exception of a few Devil Cloud Sect martial cultivators who had fled, there were no longer any at the Emperor Level.    

    

For the five great sects, they posed no threat whatsoever.    

    

Unlike those forces that had given congratulatory gifts and still had Emperor Level Martial Cultivators in place,    

    

to ensure receipt of the gifts, the Emperor Level elites had to personally exert their influence and suppress others with their might.    

    

After all, which force would willingly surrender the savings they had painstakingly accumulated over countless years at just a word?    

    

Moreover, they couldn't simply wipe out an entire sect.    

    

At most, they could eliminate a few to serve as a deterrent.    

    

Otherwise, without these Emperor Level forces to handle the myriad of lower-level tasks,    

    

how could the upper sects find the time to focus on their cultivation and self-improvement?    

    

Thus, destroying the branches of the Devil Cloud Sect was far easier than collecting the congratulatory gifts.    

    

In the aftermath of the battle with the Devil Cloud Sect, the sect had summoned all its Emperor Level Martial Cultivators from various branches to return. Consequently, they were all wiped out. Even the few that slipped through the net didn't dare to resurface. Now, on the Dongyuan Continent, Devil Cloud Sect martial cultivators are universally despised.    

    

In more remote areas, it's sufficient to dispatch a few Martial King Stage Elders, Deacons, or disciples. The sect's command can simply direct the local powers to encircle and eradicate them. Such tasks pose little risk to oneself and can even be beneficial. The edicts from the higher echelons of the sect prove to be quite effective.    

    

With the sect's headquarters destroyed, the once-feared might and demonic influence have vanished. In contrast, the eradication of the sect allows for the collection of the remnants left by its branches. This incentive is more than enough to motivate the local forces to commit wholeheartedly to the cause.    

    

For branches that are closer and more powerful, especially those in First-class States, the situation is different. Despite the transfer of Emperor Level Martial Cultivators, many Martial King Stage Martial Cultivators remain, along with Emperor Level trump cards like Spell Formations. If a King Level disciple or a deacon leads the team, there's a risk of the tables turning. Failure to resolve the threat could result in their own downfall and allow the remnants of the Devil Cloud Sect to escape. In such cases, the intervention of Emperor Level Martial Cultivators becomes necessary, though it's not overly burdensome.    

    

These stronger branches of the Devil Cloud Sect are situated in provinces with other Emperor Level forces present. The Devil Cloud Sect is one of the six major powers on the Dongyuan Continent. Its branches, unwilling to show any weakness, are among the top forces in their respective provinces. Yet, they have never dominated any single province, not even the low-grade ones, which is quite peculiar.    

    

Perhaps it is for this reason that the East Saint Sect, Elemental Spirit Sect, and the other major forces have refrained from interfering, allowing the Devil Cloud Sect to establish branches across the entire Dongyuan Continent. It is only when they showcase their strength and ignite conflict that the flames of war can spread throughout the land.    

    

Coincidentally, a small team of Emperor Level Martial Cultivators from the five great halls has been assembled to collect congratulatory gifts from these Emperor Level forces.    

    

Since that was the case, these Emperor Level teams from the five great halls would be tasked with destroying the branch after collecting the congratulatory gifts. Without Emperor Level Martial Cultivators to defend it, the branch's Emperor Level formations and trump cards would be useless against the might of true Emperor Level Martial Cultivators. They would be easily wiped out.    

    

The teams simply needed to breach the formation and eliminate the middle and upper echelons. Afterward, they would seize a substantial portion of the resources. The most numerous group, the middle and lower levels, would be left to the nearby forces to handle. Given the existing war sparked by the Devil Cloud Sect, the animosity between the parties was beyond reconciliation.    

    

Furthermore, there was the enticing prospect of acquiring the treasures and relics left behind by the Devil Cloud Sect branch. Coupled with directives from the higher echelons of their own sect, they would certainly not miss this opportunity. These were all routine operations for them.    

    

Thus, the branches with considerable resources were efficiently dealt with by the concerted efforts of the five great halls. To ensure authenticity and prevent any deception, the aftermath at the devastated Devil Cloud Sect branch would be documented using a photographic stone for evidence.    

    

Elemental Spirit, Wei Zhengzhen, Yang Mao, and others then proceeded to their respective halls to welcome the new hall masters.
