Chapter 43

"You should know that as long as you join our Sun Moon Divine Sect, your cultivation speed will increase significantly compared to before.

In this world, if you don't want to fall behind others, you must seize every opportunity, and the Sun Moon Divine Sect is your best opportunity right now."

Seeing Yan Shisan frown, Dongfang Bubai naturally understood his thoughts and said confidently and calmly.

"The best opportunity?" Yan Shisan raised an eyebrow, looking at Dongfang Bubai coldly.

"Ha ha!" Dongfang Bubai laughed disdainfully, saying calmly but matter-of-factly, "Although the Sun Moon Divine Sect cannot yet dominate the world, as long as I am here, it is only a matter of time."

Yan Shisan showed no expression, but he inwardly acknowledged Dongfang Bubai's words. Although the statement was arrogant, it didn't seem so when said by Dongfang Bubai.

"Join the Sun Moon Divine Sect, and you will gain much. But if you don't join, you will lose everything." Dongfang Bubai looked directly at Yan Shisan, bringing up the most sensitive topic.

Yan Shisan's eyes turned cold, and his aura began to surge, looking at Dongfang Bubai with a cold, sharp gaze. He clearly understood that if he didn't join the Sun Moon Divine Sect, he probably wouldn't be able to leave here today.

"Do you think I fear death?" Yan Shisan stared straight into Dongfang Bubai's eyes, his voice tinged with anger, the anger of being threatened, and the anger of being threatened due to his own lack of strength.

"Hmph, you may not fear death, but you definitely don't want to die. You have just obtained an opportunity to continue advancing in the path of the sword. Would you give it up so easily?" Dongfang Bubai met his cold, sharp gaze without flinching.

"As long as I don't want to do something, no one can force me." Yan Shisan said firmly, the aura of death gradually rising around him.

"Ha ha ha! Yan Shisan, don't think I am threatening you. I am merely stating a fact. If you blame anyone, blame your own lack of strength." Dongfang Bubai waved his sleeve backward, completely unconcerned by Yan Shisan's actions, and laughed disdainfully.

Yan Shisan fell silent, his aura gradually dissipating. Dongfang Bubai's words were true; if his strength were greater than Dongfang Bubai's, he wouldn't be in this situation.

"I see you, Yan Shisan, as a talent, which is why I have said so much. You are the first person I have actively recruited. I can give you an opportunity. Whenever you can withstand one of my sword strikes, I will grant you freedom. What do you think?" Dongfang Bubai looked at the bone poison sword in Yan Shisan's hand, a smile of unknown meaning on his lips.

Yan Shisan's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the White Peak Sword at Dongfang Bubai's waist, and tightened his grip on the bone poison sword. "You don't need to provoke me. When my sword can break through, I will naturally challenge you."

"Hmph, whether I am provoking you or not, it is the truth. You are a smart person and should know whether to join the Sun Moon Divine Sect or not." Dongfang Bubai snorted, turned around, and faced away from Yan Shisan, seemingly not worried that Yan Shisan would refuse and run away.

Behind him, Yan Shisan's gaze became complex, his grip on the bone poison sword tightening. For the first time in his life, he felt a complex, uncertain feeling.

Although he didn't want to join any faction, Dongfang Bubai was right. Joining the Sun Moon Divine Sect was definitely better than wandering alone, and his cultivation speed would definitely be faster.

Moreover, his pursuit was the path of the sword, to become the greatest swordsman in the world. Joining the Sun Moon Divine Sect, with Dongfang Bubai, who was not a swordsman but even more powerful, meant his sword would never lack for opponents or pressure. Under Dongfang Bubai's pressure, he could grow faster.

As for Dongfang Bubai's threat, he wasn't really angry. His lack of strength was his own fault, and Dongfang Bubai was just stating the truth.

Furthermore, the Sun Moon Divine Sect under Dongfang Bubai had the qualifications to make him join. Although he didn't say it, Dongfang Bubai was the only person of his generation who could make him submit, and serving under him wasn't a humiliating thing.

At the same time, completely withstanding one of Dongfang Bubai's sword strikes was indeed a good challenge.

Although it might be embarrassing to say, every true swordsman could face any humiliation and hone their sword in any environment. This situation was also a form of training.

Soon, Yan Shisan's eyes calmed, and he returned to his cold demeanor, sheathing the bone poison sword.

"What do I need to do?" Yan Shisan asked coldly.

"Ha ha ha, good!" Dongfang Bubai turned around, his usually calm eyes finally showing a pleased expression. Clearly, he was very happy with Yan Shisan's submission.

"You will join the Sun Moon Divine Sect, and your position will be determined soon, ensuring your satisfaction." Dongfang Bubai promised.

"Yes, this subordinate pays respects to the Sect Leader." Yan Shisan bowed respectfully, though it felt a bit awkward, he did it willingly.

Dongfang Bubai nodded inwardly. It was best that Yan Shisan was willing, as he wasn't inviting him to be a figurehead but to work for him.

If he clung to his pride and didn't show submission, it would not only make Dongfang Bubai uncomfortable but also make the other high-ranking members uncomfortable, weakening his authority.

Now that Yan Shisan was willing to bow, Dongfang Bubai felt that all his efforts were worth it. He had never said so much to recruit anyone before.

However, those others didn't have the qualifications, but Yan Shisan did, so Dongfang Bubai didn't mind putting in more effort.

"Good, do you have anything else to do? If not, follow me to the main camp. After we return to Blackwood Cliff in a few days, your appointment will be announced." Dongfang Bubai said kindly.

Indeed, different levels of strength meant different treatments. Since Yan Shisan was sensible and willing, Dongfang Bubai naturally treated him better.

"I am alone, and I can return to the camp with the Sect Leader now." Yan Shisan remained cold.

Dongfang Bubai didn't mind his coldness, as long as he was obedient. They quickly headed to the main camp of the Sun Moon Divine Sect.

Upon arriving at the camp, Dongfang Bubai had someone take Yan Shisan to rest and recover.

Although Dongfang Bubai didn't intend to kill Yan Shisan with that sword strike, he did intentionally injure him. However, the injuries were not severe, and with the potent medicinal herbs Dongfang Bubai specifically instructed, Yan Shisan would be fully recovered by the next morning.

The next day, Dongfang Bubai had Shouyi personally take Yan Shisan around the camp, explaining the various details of the Sun Moon Divine Sect. After all, to be a high-ranking member, these were essential to understand.

While listening to Shouyi's explanations, Yan Shisan couldn't help but sigh. Last night, he experienced the benefits of having a powerful faction for the first time. When injured, someone presented potent medicinal herbs to help him recover.

Although he wasn't short of money before, it was inconvenient for him to buy medicinal herbs alone, and it was even harder to prepare various medicinal dishes.

Especially when injured, where would he find the time to get medicinal herbs? He wouldn't dare show himself, or he would be hunted down.

Now, he ate medicinal dishes for breakfast.

These experiences made Yan Shisan realize why almost all independent cultivators hoped to join a major faction.

Yan Shisan listened attentively to Shouyi's explanations. Since he had decided to join the Sun Moon Divine Sect, he didn't want anyone other than Dongfang Bubai to be above him. The higher the position, the more power, and the better.

Moreover, this was the foundation for accelerating his cultivation speed, so Yan Shisan didn't take it lightly.

The Sun Moon Divine Sect was a vast organization, and it couldn't be explained in a short time. So, for the whole day, Shouyi took Yan Shisan around the camp, explaining as they went.

The characteristics of the four halls and four palaces, the situations of the various hall masters, palace masters, deputy hall masters, and other key figures, the rules and territories of the Sun Moon Divine Sect, and so on, were all things Yan Shisan needed to understand clearly.

Thus, many members of the Sun Moon Divine Sect became curious about the cold and aloof Yan Shisan, wondering who he was and why Shouyi was personally showing him around the camp.

Ren Wuxing, Zhao He, Fan Song, He Qi, and others recognized Yan Shisan's identity, but since Dongfang Bubai didn't mention it, they didn't dare ask. They were shocked that Yan Shisan was also joining the Sun Moon Divine Sect!

They knew that after returning to Blackwood Cliff, the entire Sun Moon Divine Sect would undergo significant changes.

Not only in terms of strength but also in positions.

While Dongfang Bubai was reorganizing and merging the Five Poison Sect, the outside world was also stirred by the news of the battle between the Sun Moon Divine Sect and the Five Poison Sect, especially the battle between Dongfang Bubai and the giant snake, which was widely discussed.

Of course, this couldn't have happened without the efforts of Bai Xiaosheng, who had the ability to spread the news across the world in just a few days.

Although Dongfang Bubai was only at the Eighth Level of the先天 (Xiantian) stage, Bai Xiaosheng mentioned in the news that Dongfang Bubai's true strength was at least at the upper level of the宗师 (Zongshi) stage.

In an era where great masters rarely appeared, matters at the宗师 (Zongshi) stage were the main topics of discussion. With Dongfang Bubai's young age and astonishing combat power, he became a figure of interest across the world.

On the list of prodigies, Bai Xiaosheng gave Dongfang Bubai a new title: the Invincible Tyrant Dongfang Bubai.

The explanation was that although Dongfang Bubai used a sword, he was not a pure swordsman, so he couldn't be called a swordsman. Only the title of Invincible Tyrant suited him.

Of course, the world wasn't just about Dongfang Bubai. Many other masters and prodigies were also shining brightly, and Bai Xiaosheng spread their stories across the world. However, during this period, Dongfang Bubai was the most prominent.
