Divine Replication System

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of fortune sparkled in Cang Shuiyue's eyes as she quickly responded.    

It was the only option left.    

Otherwise, it wasn't just the risk of the sect's collapse.    

Numerous beautiful and skilled female warriors within the Canglan Sect would face calamity.    

"However, control of the Canglan Hall's protective array must remain in my hands!    

If I issue an order, Canglan Hall must comply without question. Any disobedience, and you'll have no one to blame but yourselves for my response," Lin Xuan said sternly.    

"Understood, Senior. You can count on us," Cang Shuiyue assured him with a nod.    

She then retrieved a formidable white jade formation plate and presented it to him.    

"Senior, this is the control token for the Canglan Weak Water Array, the protective array of the Canglan Sect.    

The token consists of one primary and three secondary parts, all of which can control the array.    

The primary token can override the secondary ones.    

This one is the primary token. With it, Senior, you will have complete control."    

Cang Shuiyue explained, though a hint of desolation flickered in her eyes.    

Handing over the control token meant surrendering the sect's last line of defense.    

It was akin to a tiger stripped of its claws and teeth, vulnerable to any threat.    

But in these dire times, they had no other choice.    

Yet, considering Lin Xuan's formidable and unfathomable power, she found some solace.    

Even the Devil Cloud Sect's protective array, at full strength, was shattered by a single strike from Lin Xuan.    

Cang Shuiyue conceded that the Canglan Sect's array stood even less of a chance.    

Resistance seemed futile.    

So, whether or not the control token was surrendered, it made little practical difference, though symbolically, it was significant.    

"There's no need."    

Lin Xuan gently shook his head and handed back the white jade formation plate.    

"I will personally visit each of your four sects later on. At that time, I will establish my own method of control."    

Cang Shuiyue retrieved the white jade array token.    

With that, the so-called symbolic loss was essentially nullified.    

He spoke once more,    

"Senior, I have a disciple named Su Muixue who is both talented and intelligent, with a beauty that is unparalleled. She is a virgin, having never been intimate with a man.    

Upon seeing you today, she has fallen deeply for you. She does not seek to be your wife, but rather to be your concubine. I implore you to show her compassion..."    

While speaking, he led a young woman from behind him to stand before them.    

The young woman was strikingly beautiful, with skin as fair as snow and a statuesque figure.    

She was truly a beauty without equal.    

Her cultivation level had reached the peak of the Martial King Stage, and she appeared to be just over twenty years old.    

She was already among the elite geniuses of the entire Dongyuan Continent.    

Combining her attributes, one could easily understand her standing in the eyes of her fellow young martial artists.    

In an instant,    

Countless young martial artists aboard the surrounding Emperor Level Flying Ships glared at Lin Xuan with eyes full of anger.    

Though the presence of their elders suppressed them from speaking out, they conveyed their frustration, unwillingness, and humiliation in other ways.    

They had the defiant air of young calves unafraid of tigers.    

Yet Su Muixue blushed demurely as she shyly glanced at Lin Xuan, showing no reluctance whatsoever.    

Though Lin Xuan's power was immense and fearsome, making even the Grand Elder pale in comparison,    

Lin Xuan himself looked remarkably youthful, as if he were a peer to her.    

He was distinctly different from other age-defying figures.    

Those individuals, despite their youthful appearances, carried an undertone of decay in their auras.    

No matter how well they concealed it, it was always there, lurking beneath the surface.    

Lin Xuan, however, was a stark contrast. His aura was powerful, boundless, and as deep as the ocean, far exceeding anyone she had ever encountered.    

And within that aura, there was not a trace of decay or age, only a vibrant life force.    

He truly seemed to be one of the young generation.    

Moreover, Lin Xuan's handsome features, lean build, and extraordinary demeanor perfectly matched the ideal she had long envisioned.    

Furthermore, the prospect of saving her sect made her all the more willing.    

When Wei Zhengzhen and the leaders of the other two sects within the East Saint Sect witnessed the unfolding events, they were completely taken aback. They had not anticipated Cang Shui Yue's array of cunning maneuvers. She began by voluntarily pledging allegiance. Then she introduced her own disciple into the mix, arranging a marriage to solidify their alliance. As individuals who had reached the pinnacle of Emperor Level within their respective sects, they had experienced every conceivable privilege. To them, a mere beauty was hardly noteworthy.    

What truly caught their attention was Cang Shui Yue's rapid response and decisive actions. Should she succeed, it would signal the ascent of the Canglan Sect, which historically had been the least powerful among the six major forces. This thought alone was enough to make them squirm with discomfort.    

Yet, they were powerless to intervene, finding it difficult even to emulate her strategy. The Canglan Sect was, after all, renowned for such maneuvers. Traditionally, only those not in the direct line of succession were offered for such political marriages. But this time, Cang Shui Yue had gone so far as to offer her own disciple.    

This disciple, Su Muixue, was being groomed as a successor, having been shielded from almost all contact with men and trained exclusively in the Canglan Sect's most sacred martial arts. Under normal circumstances, Cang Shui Yue would never consider marrying him off. He was a treasure too precious to risk losing.    

Moreover, wouldn't such a marriage risk exposing their core teachings? Yet, Cang Shui Yue proceeded regardless, driven by the extraordinary nature of the current situation. Lin Xuan was not merely a peer; he stood above the entire Dongyuan Continent. Those not of the direct lineage simply did not measure up.    

To Lin Xuan, the enigmatic figure, the inherited martial arts of the Canglan Sect might not even pique his interest. Now that the Canglan Sect had sworn fealty to him, Lin Xuan could request access to their heritage at his leisure, rendering secrecy obsolete.    

Addressing the matter of the nurtured successor became trivial. For the six great forces and other top sects of the continent, there was no shortage of talented and exceptional disciples. They were the true masters of the Dongyuan Continent.    

In a world teeming with hundreds of millions of martial artists, finding a few geniuses was never a concern.    

If one was lost, another could simply be cultivated.    

It would only require a bit more time, energy, and resources.    

These investments paled in comparison to the potential future rewards they could bring.    

Yet, Lin Xuan's words shattered such calculations.    

"There's no need. I already have a wife, and I've never considered taking a concubine," Lin Xuan stated flatly.    

He glanced at Su Mu Xue and then dismissed her from his mind.    

Her looks and abilities were indeed exceptional.    

But when measured against Lin Shiyun and Murong Xingyue, she fell short.    

Lin Xuan was unimpressed.    

He was now the one calling the shots.    

There was no need for him to sacrifice his own interests for alliances through marriage.    

With his overwhelming strength, he could quell any opposition.    

Whatever he desired, he could simply claim for himself.    

The allure of mere beauty held no sway over him.    

Instead, he favored treasures that could enhance his talent, potential, and power.
