BXBX NOVEL Chapter 668 668
However looking at these reports, this area had suddenly become greater than some of the top ten holy land son the continent!
How could they not understand? Darius had probably used some of his good to terraform the area into what it was now, and it was so fast and potent too!
After realization came endless greed. If Darius could do it, why couldn't they? The man himself was nothing special, but it was the produce he peddled that amounted to everything and attributed to everything.
Many began to rethink their position on Safemoon and Darius. Many eyes shone with bright lights and other eyes flickered with deep intentions.
All the top echelon cultivators and leaders of various forces across the continent seemed to suddenly be connected with one mind as they sneered. Whether they would trade normally with Safemoon or suppress it and pillage their methods depended on the strength of Darius' fist.
However, they were terribly afraid of scaring him off. Once he ran back to Fallon, that would be it. Right now, they were already under pressure from Houto who had heard this news and would not stand for their rivals to grow stronger passively, not to mention Miranda had recently started hostile operations again, this time focusing on Armadon.
So they needed him for sure, but they couldn't suppress their greed and let objective logic flow. As such, they needed a way to not only test his might, but they needed a way to drag him out of his safety net.
Eventually, the sects came to a conclusion and had a brilliant idea. Since Darius had formed a sect, he would need to recruit mortals and cultivators right? After all, he couldn't have built all that for fun.
So they would let their own cultivators crippled themselves temporarily and then apply to enter his sect and then climb to the top using their superior talent. Then they would host a tournament and invite Darius to participate.
Their implanted disciples would purposely lose and cost Darius resources and if the mood was right, they could even directly capture and suppress him on the spot!
Of course, the idea was nice on paper, but the entirety of Pan was left speechless when in the second week of his coming here, Darius announced the founding and opening of his sect, called the Pan Suppression Sect.
When they heard this name, all the cultivators and powerhouses of Pan had their breath hitch. Those at the top who were previously smiling playfully had their smiles slowly disappear and were replaced by cold looks.
A hint of killing intent flashed in their eyes and their 'benevolence' completely disappeared. After all, Darius had made his intentions and opinions obvious with that name, and there was no need to over think it.
The message was clear.
What was even more interesting was that the sect he formed did not plan to recruit even a single mortal or cultivator. Rather, Darius claimed to have his own people working, so the rest of Pan need not worry.
And one more thing, the outer sect was open for business and they could come and make purchases of his goods at any time. The prices were quite fair and discounted a little bit as an opening sale, but one needed to have a HoloBrace.
Previously, there was a low demand for a HoloBrace on Pan, and not just Pan, but everywhere other than Fallon because only a few top echelon of the various continents could make the travel to Fallon and then Safemoon and still have the money to shop.
Now though, with a local shop opened here, even the most basic mortal could acquire a HoloBrace for free and then scrounge to buy resources to awaken Spirit Roots.
Not to mention that Darius brought America's mindset here and opened a debt system. You could take a loan to buy an Awakening Scroll to acquire top grade Spirit Roots and then work your ass off to pay back.
The best part was that Darius did not need their money as the producer of the resources and the owner/printer of the money. So to payback, they were indentured through the HoloBrace, made to accomplish task and missions to pay back their debt bit by bit.
Yes, you guessed it. These fellows were not kept here to do menial tasks helping the sect. Darius had other people who could do that and his little cultivators were growing rapidly.
As such, these people who had wakened were given tasks to travel to Houto and do various things related to their level of power. Scouting, drawing maps, contacting locals, becoming spies, blending in, sabotage and assassination.
Darius did not have much time left till Fallon was completely unified, so there was a short window where he could throw the entire of Faust into chaos to get that award from the True Supreme System, so he would have to do things simultaneously.
Of course, this loan and attack plan would take time and was for the future. Right now, he had to deal with the hungry and greedy cultivators and powerhouses who wanted to bite a piece of his flesh while remaining righteous.
But as Darius stated form the beginning, the best way to deal with these incorrigible fellow sis to he high profile and domineering, so rather than wait for them to contact their little plans, Darius took the initiative.
The Pan Suppression Sect invited all cultivators and other sects of Pan to come and tour their sect, and also see the new standard for perfection among cultivators was.
Hearing this, many cultivators were interested and rushed over, while others sneered… and still rushed over. Regardless of their feelings, no power wanted to pass this chance to take a look at the inner sect which had been blocked from view by any spying means.
As long as they could see what method Darius sued, they could either buy or steal the required goods needed to replicate it and then achieve supremacy over all others!
With such fantasies in their minds, the various top sects could not sit still. They mobilized huge airships and began to set out from their locations and rushed towards the south.
Meanwhile, Darius and his group had casually reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, and the change in their stats was explosive.

Given how the True Supreme System often calculated things, it was not surprising that their Qi was calculated based on the level of their cultivation and not their actual level.
However, it was greatly shocking to see how much Qi they possessed at this level, and the surplus they possessed had a lot to do with their skills which were sent to a 1000!
This was specifically linked to the Foundation Building and Body Foundation skills respectively. The basic skills mostly affected the speed and quality of cultivation rather than how much Qi they had at any given time.
