The Purple Ocean Dragon returned to his human form. He had regained his senses, maybe earlier he had only pretended to faint from embarrassment.
The Directionless Monk quickly sat up, he was so calm now it was as if he was just about to start a new life.
The Holy Sword Emperor who was covered in wounds on the other hand, was still coughing up blood.
He stabilized his breath a few times before looking at Qin Yuan.
But he didn't say anything.
Qin Yuan planned to take care of the Purple Ocean Dragon and the Directionless Monk first, so he looked at them and said, "I want the two of you to be my servants, who do everything I command including death!"
Right after that, the Directionless Monk suddenly stood up.
He straightened his robes before saying, "Amitabha, it is a great honor for me to be your servant!"
His demeanor also changed, no longer looking like a heretical monk, but a truly very devout monk with both hands in a meditative position.
The Purple Ocean Dragon was so dumbfounded that he subconsciously said, "you."
Qin Yuan looked at him and snorted coldly. "Do you mind? Then just die, I believe your Bloodline will be of great use to my clan's younger generation."
He raised his hand, ready to slap him.
The latter was immediately frightened to the point of shrinking his neck.
"No, Eternal Star Venerable, I was only considering for a moment, please forgive me, I will serve you from now on," he said hastily.
"Then swear to the heavens and the earth and all their inhabitants...!"
Qin Yuan also looked at the Directionless Monk.
This kind of oath wasn't strictly binding, but breaking it could shake one's Dao Heart, the effect usually being that cultivation became extremely difficult to advance.
The Purple Ocean Dragon and the Directionless Monk looked at each other for a while before saying, "I swear to the heavens and the earth and all their inhabitants that from now on I am the servant of the Eternal Star Ancestor. If I break my oath, then let the punishment of all beings fall on me."
"Good..." Qin Yuan nodded.
Right after that, suddenly a notification from System.
Ding
[Purple Ocean Dragon and Directionless Monk have sworn allegiance to you, you can bind them. Every single one of them requires 500 Karma Points.]
[They won't realize they're tied unless you show it.]
"So there is also something like this..." Qin Yuan was surprised.
[This will allow you to completely control them. They won't be able to even kill themselves.] System explained.
Qin Yuan didn't rush to use it, he turned his gaze to the Holy Sword Emperor who only showed an indifferent expression at the Purple Ocean Dragon and Directionless Monk's decision.
"You know, confining you here will only waste too much of my clan's resources. So, if you don't submit, I may either kill you or hand you over to your enemies. I'm sure they wouldn't mind paying dearly for you."
His final threat made the Holy Sword Emperor's face twitch.
"It depends on you, if you still want to live..."
Qin Yuan stopped his words because the Holy Sword Emperor suddenly raised his hand.
"I admit I still want to live now," he said.
The Purple Ocean Dragon and the Directionless Monk were dumbfounded to hear because of his words because they originally thought he would prefer death.
Their reactions made him immediately continue his words. "But no matter what, I won't serve others directly… Therefore, I suggest that you establish a sect, I don't mind being the Ancestor of the sect even if you lead it."
"..."
His suggestion was quite unexpected for Qin Yuan.
He looked at the Holy Sword Emperor thoughtfully.
"System, what will happen if I set up a sect?"
[Your sect will be registered in the System.]
[And the sects you register will follow the general rules and systems of most sects where the Supreme Ancestor and the 5 Ancestors decide the direction of the sect. Your sect should be like that too.]
"Oh, but why isn't my clan registered."
[Because a clan is not a faction to the public.]
"I see... Then can I still enslave like those who swore allegiance to me?"
[It's one of your sect's features, but to activate that feature, you have to pay 4,000 Karma Points. Those who swear are also only bound to the sect, not you.
[They cannot betray and violate sect prohibitions, and must carry out every sect command agreed between the Supreme Ancestor and the five Ancestors.
[Since you are the founder, they won't be able to betray you. You also have the right to occupy the position of supreme ancestor and sect master.]
"Quite good, the price of 4,000 Points is also acceptable..." Qin Yuan nodded.
Asking someone else to join his sect was much easier than asking someone else to be his servant. Therefore, he thought establishing a sect was much better.
[Do you want to establish a sect?] System asked.
"Yes."
Ding
[Order accepted.]
(Enter your sect name)
"Name huh?" Qin Yuan started to think.
"Ooo yeah, what about the Heavan Smiting Sect..."
Qin Yuan smiled...

[Obtaining the territory according to your strength, you will get 100 Karma Points.]
[Recruiting a Great Emperor, you will get 50,000 Karma Points.]
[Recruiting an Eternal Saint Ancestor, you will get 40,000 Karma Points]
[Recruiting a Ninth Stage Divine Emperor, you will get 5,00 Karma Points.]
[Recruiting a Ninth Stage Saint Ancestor, you will get 4,000 Karma Points.]
[Note: the rewards will only apply if you recruit those you don't have a certain relationship with, they don't join because they wanted to in the first place, and they're not under your threat either.]
"Oh My Goodness, what a hassle."
Qin Yuan sighed.
"Okay, please enable that feature."
[Order accepted.]
[The sect binding feature has been activated. Your 4,000 Karma Points have been deducted.]
{Karma Points: 14,000}
After that, he looked at the Holy Sword Emperor.
"I take your advice," he said, which surprised everyone there.
