Rebirth of the Nameless Immortal God

Chapter 1432 Progression

?

After almost 8 years now since the academies were established, this feeling was already beginning to brew. Considering Dyon banned them from entering the tower, he was essentially also cutting off the chance they had to reverse their fates as well. This matter only bred more displeasure.

Of course, Dyon found these thoughts silly. He footed the bill for their carefree education from the ages of 7 to 18. Afterward, who said they couldn't enter Sects? Dyon placed no restrictions on who could become working disciples. Although they couldn't become official disciples, they would still receive cultivation resources that Dyon, once again, paid for.

However, sometimes, when individuals are privileged, they forget the times when they had nothing to their name.

Then there was the Niveus Sect. What obligation did Dyon have to allow their legacy to continue? Erea should consider that Legacy to have shattered in the hands of Matriarch Niveus, not him.

"Interesting." Dyon nodded unperturbed. "How many of you believe that the standards of the six Sects are too high?"

Many of the leaders looked around at each other before raising their hands. More than 90% of them seemed to agree with this, causing Erea to breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's not that we don't understand your viewpoint, Leader Sacharro." A member of the former Big Sects supplemented. "However, because you restricted the establishment of other Sects, there are a large group of people left with nowhere to go. Of course, we know that it's possible to become a working disciple and receive some benefits, but the tasks one must complete to remain a working disciple are too great."

Of course, Dyon wouldn't allow individuals to simply freeload off of his hard work. Where there were those who had good intentions, there would always be those to take advantage. As a result, working disciples had a number of quotas they had to complete every month. Actually, much of the law enforcement of the six planets were made up of working disciples of the various sects.

But, somehow, earning your keep had suddenly become too much of a burden. How amusing.

"Even the branch sects have ridiculous high requirements. To become an outer disciple, you must become an essence gather by 16 years old. For the main sect, it's even more exaggerated at 13 years old.

"Then, to become an inner disciple, you must become a saint by 21 years old for the main sect, and by 30 for the branch sects. The core disciple requirements are even worse. As of now, only True God Agios has met the requirement of becoming a celestial within 50 cultivation years. As for the branch sects which require a 120 cultivation year minimum, no one has managed to reach it…"

The middle-aged man wanted to continue to speak about Legatees, but Dyon had never made an announcement about them. You could only imagine the kind of crazy requirements they would have.

Dyon watched as the man entered a sort of pseudo rant and how many nodded their heads in agreement.

If one kept up the pace Dyon set for the main sect, they would have the talent of an elite King at worst. An entire Sect of high level Kings, just how ambitious was that? As for the branch sects, their minimum requirement was the talent of a Duke.

To now, Dyon always remembered that the mark of a true genius in the tower quadrants was celestial by 100 and dao expert by 1000. How could he lower the standards of Soul Rending Peak below that standard? In fact, he would push it even further.

What they didn't know was that if it was up to Dyon, the requirements would be even more exaggerated than they were now. He wanted the world to tremble in fear whenever the title of the Peak Disciples was mentioned. He wanted them to move unhindered across the world!

Their request seemed reasonable. Even if he wanted to keep those strict standards, fine. But, at the very least, he should allow the establishment of sects with weaker standards so that they could live. As things stood now, it wasn't enough.

"Mm." Dyon nodded. "Clara, read me the numbers of outer disciples for the past 8 years."

"On the first year, there were only 3 total. These were outer disciples you directly appointed, not ones who met the requirement.

"The second year, there were 0. The third year, there were 0 once more. The fourth year, there were 0 once again."

As Clara spoke, the clan leaders felt gratified. See? It was far too difficult.

"The fifth year, there were 63. 4 who managed to enter the main sect and 59 who were split randomly amongst the branch sects.

"The sixth year, there were 172 new additions. 9 who entered the main sect, and 161 who dispersed themselves among the branch sects.

"The seventh year, there were 586 new additions. 23 entered the main sect, 563 entered the five branch sects.

"This eighth year, there were 6708 new additions. 804 entered the main sect, 5904 entered the branch sects."

The massive jump in the eighth year caused the leaders' eyes to widen in shock. Were these fabricated numbers? No, that couldn't be. It was too easy to verify if this was true or false…

This eighth year, Dyon had spent more than half of it right here, how could there not be improvements? If there weren't, wouldn't he be too incompetent as a leader? Many of the blatant forms of corruption stopped when he arrived, allowing the academies to flourish as they should.

"These numbers do not include those who didn't meet the age requirements, but did pass the sect trials. If those numbers are accounted for, the branch sects have an average of 1783 outer disciples, while the main sect has 851." Clara finished her report calmly.

Dyon knew quite well that these numbers wouldn't translate upward to the inner sect and subsequent core sect. After all, as one progresses in cultivation, the more difficult progression became.

Those who weren't able to keep up with the age requirements would be demoted to branch sects. And, if by some oddity they couldn't keep up with the branch sect requirements, they would find their places as academy instructors while some of the better ones would become working, outer and maybe inner sect elders. Of course, Dyon would also give them the choice of simply remaining outer disciples, if they so chose.
