Chapter 976: Exactly!

Chapter 976 - Exactly!

With that decided, a disciple came into the hall to bring the twins to their personal areas. Because the sect was deep into a cliff, it had more than enough space for everyone to have their own rooms. The only caveat was that they had to build their own residences. It might be something time-consuming for a low-level disciple, but for the twins, it was very easy to do.

Kentucky and Celis, on the other hand, were brought to the Beast Taming Hall. Not surprisingly, the Taming Hall was not inside the cliff but outside. After all, demon beasts needed different environments to live in, especially those who weren't sentient. Nevertheless, most of the demon beasts' dwellings were still built on the cliff's walls.

As one could imagine, Celis decided to stay as far as possible from the caves of the sect before returning to his tree form. Celis changed his appearance to prevent others from finding out his race, just like what he did back in the Freedom Sect while it was still in the Demon Beast Continent. Kentucky didn't mind as he simply flew up to his nest and began to take a nap. Little did the sect know, but the concentration of Divine Energy in the sect would start going up very soon.

Back in the Meeting Hall, Cynthia stayed behind with Wuxan and Jusis. They seemed to have something to talk about with the Sect Master as one of them asked, "Kayla, what are you planning?"

Kayla looked at those three with a smile, responding with, "Planning? What are you talking about?"

Wuxan narrowed his eyes in response as he replied, "Kayla, we've known each other for a long time already. First of all, the fact that all Nascent Soul Elders are over one hundred years old is just a coincidence. No rule states that one had to be at a certain age to become an elder, much less a guest elder."

Jusis agreed with Wuxan, saying, "Exactly. For you to ask them to stay as disciples, there must be a reason for it."

Layla laughed in response. "Hahaha! Indeed, there was a reason for that." Kayla then took a jade slip out of her pocket and threw it towards those three. "Take a look inside."

Cynthia, Wuxan, and Jusis looked at each other before they sent their Divine Senses into the jade slip. "This..." Finally, they looked back at Kayla as one of them said, "A local power assembly? How long has it been since the last one happened? Wait, could it be..."

Kayla immediately nodded as she told them, "Yes, the centennial power distribution has arrived. I've already received information that the Royal Family's representative is in Cosec City, preparing the assembly."

Divine Energy was responsible for giving birth to many natural treasures. One of them just so happened to be Divine Veins. Those Divine Veins were able to generate more Divine Energy, perfect for sects and other organizations that relied on it. The Lukimira Sect just so happened to be built close to one of those. As for why they had one, that's because they won it five hundred years ago during the centennial power distribution!

There was a way to create Divine Veins, but the method was extremely expensive. Even the top three sects of Cosec City together wouldn't be able to afford the process. However, the Royal Family was different. They kept producing Divine Veins of several qualities all the time. They often sold them or used them in trades with other countries. Of course, that wasn't all. Once every one hundred years, the Royal Family would give part of the produced veins for the various sects and other organizations of its kingdom. That was one of their ways to help improve the overall power of their people as a whole.

However, there was no such thing as free lunch in this world. There were just way too many forces that desired the Divine Veins, but not even close to enough for everyone. That's where the local power assembly came into play. The Royal Family would send a certain number of veins to each city of its kingdom. After that, the assembly would be used to decide who would get those veins.

One might think, what will happen if a weak power got its hands on a Divine Vein? Couldn't a bigger power force it out of their hands? That's where the Royal Family's power came into play. Any Divine Vein could only be used by the power that won it during the assembly. The city lords would be responsible for verifying that this rule was followed. It was so strict that even the powers who won those veins couldn't sell it even if they wanted to. They could only use it.

No one tried to play any tricks when the distribution was made either. If one was caught by the Royal Family trying to take advantage of someone who got a vein, extermination would already be a light sentence. That's how the Lukimira Sect kept its own vein for hundreds of years without anyone trying to contest it.

Well, to be honest, the Lukimira's Sect Divine Vein was a very low-quality one, so not many people out there had much interest in it to start with. The fact they got it could already be considered a miracle itself. Asking to have won a high-quality vein would have been nothing more than a dream to them.

However, there was a problem. Those veins...had a lifespan of 500 years! Once that time was up, the veins would start to wither and lose their effect in at most ten years. Rean's group was curious about why the sect was having financial problems to the point of even sending their elders out for missions. That was the reason! The sect was trying to gather enough Divine Stones to buy another low-quality Divine Vein for multiple years already. Sadly, they were far, far away from having enough. After all, Divine Stones were necessary to run the sect as well.

Cynthia looked at Kayla and sighed, telling her, "No wonder you insisted on keeping them as disciples. After all, only true members of the power participating in the assembly can try to obtain Divine Veins. If you accepted them as guest elders, they wouldn't be allowed to participate in our sect's name."

Kayla nodded with a smile in response. "Exactly!"
