Divine Replication System

Lin Xuan gave a slight nod.    

Observing the discerning demeanor of the Elemental Spirit Sect's senior members, a hint of satisfaction flickered in his eyes.    

Previously, when the Elemental Spirit Sect's protective barrier had shattered, Lin Xuan had clearly heard the desperate cries for help.    

Yet, he deliberately chose to ignore them.    

He let the Heaven Covering Palm strike continue unabated.    

However, Lin Xuan had no intention of annihilating everyone in the Elemental Spirit Sect.    

In the final moments, he still managed to contain the power of the Heaven Covering Palm, preventing it from spreading out.    

Furthermore, he absorbed the energy released when the protective formation was destroyed, to minimize the damage to the Elemental Spirit Sect.    

The Heaven Covering Palm, though seemingly formidable and utterly terrifying to all within the Elemental Spirit Sect, was beyond even the Emperor Level, unassailable by those at the pinnacle of that level.    

To Lin Xuan, however, it was trivial.    

He hadn't even tapped into his true strength.    

Controlling it was effortless.    

After demonstrating the Heaven Covering Palm's might, he subtly made it vanish without a trace.    

His intention was to give the Elemental Spirit Sect's warriors a brush with death, erasing any lingering hopes of resistance.    

The outcome, it seemed, was quite effective.    

The Elemental Spirit Sect's leadership had no objections; upon regaining their senses, they promptly chose to submit.    

This was precisely what he had planned.    

With the first step accomplished, the rest would be significantly easier.    

"Elemental Spirit Son, present your storage ring for my inspection," Lin Xuan commanded once more.    

This was one of Lin Xuan's primary objectives for his return, seeking to unify the continent—a goal he could not overlook.    

Upon hearing this, the Elemental Spirit Sect's higher-ups were initially taken aback, but they quickly understood.    

"Yes, Senior!" they responded.    

The Elemental Spirit Son and the others gave a resigned chuckle, offering no resistance.    

The Elemental Spirit Son was the first to produce his storage ring, sending it towards Lin Xuan with a surge of spiritual energy.    

The rest followed suit, relinquishing their own treasured possessions.    

As Emperor Level Martial Cultivators, they naturally carried their most valuable items and the accumulation of a lifetime's work.    

Surrendering these now meant they might lose everything.    

Their hearts ached as if bleeding.    

However, they dared not express even the slightest dissent.    

Otherwise, their lives could be in jeopardy at any moment.    

They had all experienced the other party's unfathomable and terrifying power.    

In the hands of this adversary, they were like ants, insignificant.    

For the sake of their lives, these treasures and savings meant little.    

Treasures and savings could be regained, but a lost life was irreplaceable.    

As the absolute elite of the Elemental Spirit Sect, they were among the strongest on the entire Dongyuan Continent.    

They enjoyed status, beauty, and wealth.    

With plenty of life left, none of them were eager to meet their demise.    

This was a first for them since advancing to the late Emperor Level.    

Yet, they quickly came to terms with their situation.    

They faced a fearsome power beyond their ability to challenge, an existence beyond their wildest imaginations.    

Sacrificing wealth to preserve life was only logical.    

Lin Xuan's satisfaction grew as they obediently surrendered their storage treasures.    

His divine sense meticulously scanned each item.    

A smile spread across his face.    

True to their stature, the top tier of the Dongyuan Continent had amassed significant wealth.    

Top Grade spirit stones, minerals, Spirit weapons, secret manuals, medicinal pills, and various high-level treasures were plentiful.    

The storage ring of the Elemental Spirit, in particular, held the most.    

Setting other items aside, it contained over a thousand Top Grade spirit stones alone.    

Lin Xuan recalled that before leaving the Dongyuan Continent, he had forcefully extorted six Emperor Level Flying Ships from the Million Treasure Pavilion's headquarters, netting a mere thousand Top Grade spirit stones.    

And yet, most Emperor Level Martial Cultivators might not possess even a few dozen Top Grade spirit stones.    

For those in the late Emperor Level, having a stash of over a hundred was considered impressive.    

This highlighted the Elemental Spirit Sect's considerable wealth.    

Such was the privilege of a sect's ancestor who truly controlled the entire Elemental Spirit Sect.    

Moreover, Lin Xuan discovered several other exceptional treasures.    

Among them were fragments of an Emperor Level Spirit weapon, ancient and worn, its spiritual energy long dissipated, leaving only the incredibly durable material behind.    

Among the items were some severely damaged Emperor Level Martial Arts, which were mere fragments of their original form.    

There were also peak Emperor Level ores, medicinal herbs, and the like.    

Naturally, there were also items that even Lin Xuan couldn't decipher, exuding an aura of mystery.    

Lin Xuan didn't hesitate.    

He claimed every single Top Grade spirit stone for himself, leaving none behind.    

He also took any other treasures that caught his eye without a second thought.    

Yuan Lingzi and the others watched as Lin Xuan methodically selected the Top Grade spirit stones and treasures they had worked so hard to accumulate, storing them away in his own storage ring. They could barely conceal their dismay, the corners of their mouths twitching in silent agony.    

Yet they dared not utter a word, which was rather amusing.    

Most notably, Master Yuan Ling, the venerable ancestor of the Elemental Spirit Sect, had an abundance of treasures in his storage ring, many of which Lin Xuan had now appropriated.    

The other Elemental Spirit Sect leaders managed to keep only the Top Grade spirit stones and a handful of treasures.    

Afterward, Lin Xuan returned their storage rings to them.    

The acquisition of these treasures alone made Lin Xuan's venture worthwhile.    

He was increasingly pleased with his haul.    

Yuan Lingzi and the others quickly gathered their storage tools and breathed a sigh of relief.    

They had braced themselves for Lin Xuan to claim everything.    

But now, their possessions were returned to them.    

The Top Grade spirit stones and some treasures were gone.    

However, much remained.    

It was an unexpected boon.    

They eagerly secured their remaining items.    

"All members of the Elemental Spirit Sect with Emperor Level cultivation and above, come to the main hall. The rest of you, maintain order and repair the damaged areas," Lin Xuan instructed.    

With that, he summoned the massive Emperor Level High-grade Flying Ship behind him into his possession.    

Lin Xuan then strode through the air toward the Elemental Spirit Sect's core region.    

The Martial Puppet followed behind him.    

Next came the high-ranking members of the Elemental Spirit Sect.    

"Yes, Senior!" Yuan Lingzi responded with reverence.    

He swiftly relayed Lin Xuan's commands.    

Before long, Lin Xuan reached the heart of the Elemental Spirit Sect, the central grand hall known as the Elemental Spirit Hall.    

This was the most hallowed ground within the Elemental Spirit Sect.    

Important matters required discussion in this place.    

Although Lin Xuan had spent some time within the Elemental Spirit Sect, he had never visited this particular location before.    

This was his first time.    

Surveying his surroundings, Lin Xuan was overwhelmed with a flood of emotions.    

He had not anticipated ascending to this place in such a capacity.    

Shortly thereafter,    

Lin Xuan took his place in the highest seat.    

The Martial Puppet stood by his side, akin to a vigilant guard.    

Elemental Spirit and the others filed in one by one.    

Noticing that the Martial Puppet, who was also at the peak of Emperor Level, refrained from sitting,    

they all chose to remain standing below.    

Before long,    

all the Emperor Level Martial Cultivators of the Elemental Spirit Sect had convened.    

One at the peak of Emperor Level, eight in the late period.    

And those in the middle stage of Emperor Level numbered over fifty.    

Additionally, there were others assigned to external posts.    

Altogether, the count was nearly a hundred.
