Thus, the core members as well as the structure of the Four Nine Immortal Sect was established.
An Lin was the sect leader, and there were nine pavilions—Xu Xiaolan’s Flame Pavilion, Liu Qianhuan’s Sword Pavilion, Xuanyuan Cheng’s Spirit Pavilion, Su Qianyun’s Moon Pavilion, Xiao Ze’s Dragon Pavilion, Da Bai’s Beast Pavilion, Little Lang’s Man Pavilion, Tina’s Realm Pavilion, and Bryce’s Blood Pavilion.
Aside from that, Tang Ximen, Xiao Hong, Xiao Chou, and Little Tian assumed the roles of elders, which placed them at an equal rank as the lords of the pavilions.
Each pavilion also had its own elders. For example, Yao Mingxi, Yao Xiu, and Xin Zhu were the elders of the Sword Pavilion, Zhao Huaiyin was the elder of the Beast Pavilion, and Hu Guan and Liu Dabao were elders of the Dragon Pavilion. As for the remaining pavilions, they had no elders for the moment.
All the roles for the existing members had been allocated, and all that was left was to recruit more members.



We’ll choose a site for our sect once school holidays commence,
An Lin announced.
Everyone went back to their dorm rooms in high spirits that day, and everyone was full of anticipation and hope for the new sect.
An Lin was no exception to this either. Never would he have thought that his unrealistic plan would receive the support of so many of his friends and come to fruition.
An Lin had actually planned to spread the news of his new sect through the entire school as he believed that his influence within the school would likely draw him quite a few retarded superfan recruits.
However, he soon abandoned that idea. Firstly, he was afraid that he might ruin these students’ futures, and secondly, he was afraid that he might get bashed to death by the Heavenly Court officials.
These students had all been carefully nurtured by the Heavenly Court, and if he took them just like that, the Heavenly Court would probably turn on him and crush his new sect!
When night fell, everyone left in quick succession, but Xu Xiaolan remained in his dorm room.
This time, Tina was going to execute a grand plan and that was to transfer a living being other than An Lin into her Divine Mirror World!
That’s right, she was going to transfer both An Lin and Xu Xiaolan into her Divine Mirror World!
She had always been able to easily transfer An Lin into her Divine Mirror World as they were in a contractual relationship, thereby making the task a lot easier. However, she had no such connection with Xu Xiaolan, so the difficulty was going to be taken up a notch.



Are you ready? I’ll begin if you are!
Tina asked with a wide grin.
An Lin and Xu Xiaolan nodded with solemn expressions as their hands found each other’s hands unconsciously.
Tina flew between the two of them as a white light enveloped them both.
An extremely powerful spatial force swept toward them.
Whoosh!
An Lin was struck by a rush of dizziness before appearing in the air above Qi Lou City.
He turned to discover Tina floating beside him as she panted with pale features, but the other woman was nowhere to be found.
An Lin:
…


My energy is still insufficient to facilitate a transfer of two people into my world at once.
Tina turned to An Lin with an apologetic expression as if she was begging for forgiveness.
An Lin heaved a light sigh.
That’s ok. We can just try it again after you have become more powerful.




Let’s go have a look at how the world is developing.

Inside An Lin’s dorm room…
Xu Xiaolan looked around at the empty dorm room as she blinked in confusion.

So, was that a failure?
she muttered to herself as a sense of disappointment welled up in her heart.
Within the Divine Mirror World.
An Lin and Tina decided to check on how the Spirit-Engulfing Beasts were going.
It had to be said that the evolved Spirit-Engulfing Beasts gave the world another nightmarish experience.
Their ghostly movement techniques, eerie ambush tactics, bizarre methods of attack, terrifying fondness of devouring soul, and their bodies that were immune to all attacks aside from those that targeted one’s consciousness… All of that made them synonymous with nightmarish demons.
Most importantly, these Spirit-Engulfing Beasts were no longer retarded! This was the most terrifying thing!
How fearsome were the Spirit-Engulfing Beasts that were no longer retarded?


A Snake Spirit Clan Soul Formation Stage cultivator, who was one of the most powerful beings in this world, was killed in an ambush staged by nine Spirit-Engulfing Beasts.
This was an extremely frightening event as it showed that even the high and mighty Soul Formation Stage cultivators, who were revered as gods in this world, were not safe. This event completely flipped everyone’s outlook on this world.
After Adam and Eve progressed to Soul Formation Stage, the human race had well and truly become a force to be reckoned with. Their overall strength could already rival one of the nine tribes.
From an individual perspective, humans were still inferior in power to the nine tribes.
However, the overall power of the human race was quite fearsome. With the invention and gradual refinement of gunpowder production over time, humans invented a series of powerful firearms.
Were lower stage Dao Body cultivators more powerful or were humans with countless guns more powerful? The answer was quite obvious.
All the cannons were also extremely effective against giant beasts that were fearful of loud sounds and fire, thereby allowing humans to continue to expand their territory.
High city walls were constructed along with tall buildings, electric lights, phones, all manners of steam-powered inventions, and combustion-powered inventions began to appear as everyone’s life underwent an unimaginable change.
Seth, the ninth son of Adam and Eve who had dedicated his life to science, became the most iconic figure within the human race aside from Adam and Eve themselves.
The reason for this was that the research team he led was responsible for all these groundbreaking technological advancements. Humans began to understand that the power of technology was something worth investing time and energy into!


A craze for new technologies began to sweep through the human race.
An Lin knew that the humans of this world had entered the age of technology.

The main city of the human race is Qi Lou City, and there are seventeen satellite cities aside from that, and they are housing a total population of seven million.

They have progressed to the pinnacle of first-tier human civilization, but still remain in the heat-energy stage. They have started to progress toward the particle-energy civilization, but they are still at the stage where they are only just beginning to discover electrical energy.

There are a total of five Soul Formation Stage cultivators, close to a hundred Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivators, and millions of Dao Body Stage cultivators.

An Lin slowly rattled off the statistic, and his heart was marveling at this startling rate of progression.
Tina’s time acceleration could only be maintained at around five hundred times, and even at that speed, she got tired out easily.

Giant An Lin, I suddenly thought of something! Why don’t we recruit all of the most powerful cultivators of this world into the Four Nine Immortal Sect?
Tina suddenly proposed.
An Lin’s expression faltered slightly upon hearing this. He then replied with an excited expression,
That’s a fantastic idea! That way, our sect would have a hidden force, which would comprise all of the top-tier powerful beings in this world!

His heart shuddered slightly as he came to a realization of just how fearsome this hidden force would be.
How long did it take Tina to nurture all these Soul Formation Stage cultivators?
In this world, countless years had passed.
However, in the outside world, it had only been less than half a year!
This meant that he could use the time difference between these two worlds to create a large-scale army!

Let’s see if we can transfer living beings from this world into the outside world!
Tina waved her fists with excitement.
