Chapter 1688 - 1670: Grand Sect Founding Ceremony

In the blink of an eye, seven days have passed.

On the morning of the seventh day, joyous decorations filled the Xia Family’s base, with everyone in the Xia Family jubilant because the Holy Wind Sect, led by Lin Feng, was established today. Cultivators from all directions rushed over to attend the founding ceremony, all expressing their desire to join the Holy Wind Sect.

A wooden stage, measuring a mile across, had been constructed with a giant pillar standing fifty zhang high on it. The flag of the Holy Wind Sect fluttered gracefully on the enormous pillar, visible from several miles away. Only three people were seated on the stage — Lin Feng in the center, with Xia Yan and Song Hong on either side, while the seats below the stage were filled with incoming cultivators.

"You came too?"

"Of course! How could I miss such a great opportunity!"

"Exactly, we’re originally loose cultivators, so joining Lin Feng’s sect is definitely beneficial for us."

...

Below, numerous loose cultivators watched each other and commented, feeling extremely delighted now. Joining Lin Feng’s Holy Wind Sect is undoubtedly more advantageous than disadvantageous for them, and they all aspire to receive more resource support to enhance their cultivation faster after joining the sect.

The three above on the stage, Lin Feng, Xia Yan, and Song Hong, closed their eyes in quiet contemplation, waiting for the moment the Holy Wind Sect’s ceremony would commence.

Before long, various powers and families began entering the venue. The first to arrive was the Lei Family from the European cultivation forces, having interacted with Lin Feng before. The establishment of Holy Wind Sect by Lin Feng was a great boon for them, so naturally, they came to support Lin Feng.

Subsequently, other forces from the European Cultivation Forces Alliance arrived — similar to the Lei Family, but feeling their power was too weak. Joining the Holy Wind Sect would be akin to finding support under a mighty tree, so they naturally couldn’t miss this opportunity.

Various forces started entering at this time as well, and at the last moment, the Gu Family and Kong Family from the four prominent families also arrived here. It was indeed a difficult decision for both Gu Family and Kong Family to attend the opening ceremony of Holy Wind Sect today; even internally, agreement wasn’t reached. Unable to avoid Lin Feng’s influence, they decided to come and evaluate the situation.

The three, Lin Feng, Xia Yan, and Song Hong, clearly perceived everything using divine sense but chose not to reveal it. They also wanted to see who else would attend the founding ceremony.

As the sun rose slowly, reaching the auspicious moment, Xia Yuntian stood from below the stage and shouted loudly!

"The auspicious time has arrived, the founding ceremony of Holy Wind Sect officially begins!"

As Xia Yuntian’s voice spread, deafening ceremonial cannon sounds erupted around the ceremony site, with no less than a thousand cannons firing simultaneously, creating a mighty spectacle. Simultaneously, a massive boulder tens of meters across exploded at the sect’s entrance, leaving a barren stone tablet, equally magnificent, drawing countless eyes.

On top of the stage’s incense bench, a set of incense sticks over ten meters long was lit, the drifting smoke giving the stage a celestial aura, leaving everyone wide-eyed in wonder as none had seen the incense before or known when it appeared or got lit. They wondered what was going on.

While everyone was marveling at this, Lin Feng stood up, raised his hand to the sky, and began writing the words "Holy Wind Sect" in mid-air. With each stroke, Seven-Colored Gang Qi lingered as if engraving the writing in the sky. After a short time, he completed writing the words, then with a flick of his sleeve, the shining words "Holy Wind Sect" floated above the exploded stone tablet at the sect’s entrance, magically imprinted there, continuing to emit colorful light and appearing marvelously magical!

Seeing this, everyone felt envious; after all, in the world, only a founding ceremony like Holy Wind Sect’s could be so grand. Although there wasn’t much content, the strength showcased everything, not to mention those three words on the giant rock that no other sect could achieve.

"Please welcome Holy Wind Sect Master Lin Feng to give his speech!"

Xia Yuntian’s voice was loud, clearly audible to everyone present. Hearing this, everyone’s attention turned towards Lin Feng’s side, curious about what Lin Feng’s founding speech would be like, given the ceremony unlike any they’d seen.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Lin Feng walked into the air, step by step into mid-air, and respectfully bowed to heaven and earth before speaking: "I, Lin Feng, establish the Holy Wind Sect here; the purpose of Holy Wind Sect is to support everyone in enhancing their strength, integrating resources to face the future Human Immortal battles together. And I am willing to stand out and lead everyone toward this goal."

"Perhaps some may think Holy Wind Sect has no qualification to open a sect, but I must say, regardless of anyone’s perspective, today Holy Wind Sect will definitely be founded. I, Lin Feng, am here; if anyone is dissatisfied, they can come up and challenge me. If you can defeat me, I will dissolve the Holy Wind Sect this instant and never say another word."

Lin Feng’s voice was powerful and riveting, leaving everyone below stunned. Who was kidding, Lin Feng was so formidable, who could defeat him? He could easily annihilate late-stage Human Immortal experts; everyone inwardly viewed him like a demon. Given his words, they dared not challenge him, for it would be courting death!

The scene grew deathly quiet, utterly silent, as everyone anticipated Lin Feng’s next words.

"Since no one opposes, Holy Wind Sect is officially established now. All forces or loose cultivators wishing to join Holy Wind Sect, please register slightly with Steward Elder, who will inform you of the process. I, Lin Feng, can guarantee here that for those who voluntarily join, Holy Wind Sect will prioritize allocating cultivation resources to you and ensure your rapid improvement. As for the responsibilities you must bear, they are outlined in the sect’s regulations which you can also independently review."

Surveying the crowd below, Lin Feng spoke solemnly. After finishing, he pointed to Xia Yan and Song Hong, then addressed everyone: "Xia Family Ancestor Xia Yan and Ancestor of Song Family Song Hong, these two are now responsible for the Elders Pavilion of Holy Wind Sect, and various forces can elect one individual to join the Elders Pavilion; you can contact Elder Xia Yan and Elder Song Hong later."

At this moment, Xia Yan and Song Hong also walked into the air, joining Lin Feng’s side and bowing to everyone below. They hadn’t anticipated Lin Feng’s arrangement, but they were quite satisfied with it, becoming responsible for the Elders Pavilion of Holy Wind Sect was indeed an unparalleled honor.

With these arrangements completed, Lin Feng continued: "Regarding the composition of Holy Wind Sect, I will briefly introduce it now. Within Holy Wind Sect are eight major departments: Hall of War, Enforcement Hall, Elders Pavilion, Alchemy Hall, Hall of Artifacts, Sacred Beast Hall, Intelligence Division, Logistics Department. I must emphasize that Sacred Beast Hall is not for human cultivators; it’s specifically for Demon Beasts, and not open to anyone."

"After joining Holy Wind Sect, all loose cultivators and numerous forces will be dispersed and assigned individually to one of the seven departments outside of Sacred Beast Hall. There will no longer be the concept of former sects or families; everyone must root themselves in the Holy Wind Sect, firmly obeying all of its decisions, or else Enforcement Hall will execute them according to sect regulations."

After speaking, Lin Feng’s expression grew more serious, then alongside Xia Yan and Song Hong, returned to the previous high stage, sat atop chairs without speaking further. His tasks were completed, and the remaining matters awaited Xia Yuntian to proceed.

Truly a complete dismantling!

Indeed, the sect wouldn’t be preserved this way!

Initially thought Lin Feng was joking; the family is genuinely getting canceled!

...

Below, the crowd listened to Lin Feng’s words and fell silent, pondering whether joining Holy Wind Sect was more harmful than beneficial or vice versa. They all represented a faction, and being thoroughly fragmented meant no chance of re-establishing themselves separately in the future, forcing them to contemplate these matters.

However, more people felt extremely joyous at this moment as they were loose cultivators with no faction, thus unburdened. Now that Lin Feng’s Holy Wind Sect could accommodate them, allowing fair competition alongside large forces and prominent families, they were thrilled, eyes sparkling with eagerness, considering immediately signing up with Holy Wind Sect as soon as the ceremony ended.

As everyone considered this, Xia Yuntian stepped forward under their attention and loudly declared: "Assigned by Sect Master Lin, I am appointed as Steward Elder, now I will announce the regulations of Holy Wind Sect to everyone."

"Holy Wind Sect’s task is to oppose the Immortal Realm; every sect member must aim for this. If anyone is found colluding with the Immortal Realm — kill, if anyone disrupts unity — kill, if anyone engages in rape and plunder — kill, if anyone harms brothers — kill, if anyone deceives teachers and ancestors — kill, if anyone defies sect orders — kill, and so on..."

With a serious expression, Xia Yuntian began reading the sect’s regulations, totaling forty rules, with eighteen execution clauses; the rest involved abolishing cultivation. Listening below, everyone’s brows twitched because they understood that once inside Holy Wind Sect, everything must conform to regulations. Any violation could mean abolition of cultivation, though the regulations seemed excessively stringent!

Nonetheless, hearing them relieved many because while Holy Wind Sect’s regulations were strict, they covered major crimes and wickedness. Unless publicly performing actions that damage Holy Wind Sect’s reputation or resources, the rules were largely inconsequential to them.
