Yang Rai knew that they would ask for something like that. However impossible it was.
"That is something absolutely impossible to do, I'm afraid. The Cultivation Spring would drain any other world in an instant. That said, as we speak I have many more being crafted. I have a total of 5 that can be used. However, 1 of these is only for my own family."
"I see, there are four and we can't acquire them. A shame."
"Since this is the case I will offer all of the major forces a 1000 slots every 5 years. I will not however allow them to use my resources to break into Open heaven. They must acquire them on their own."
"What if they had the means to purchase them from you?"
"The materials aren't exactly expensive but I require them for other reasons. Research is the biggest one. And every set makes my progress slower."
"Then we will accept this arrangement. This will allow our Disciples to promote to the 6th Rank directly no matter what. When do we begin?"
"Once you have gathered all of the cultivators together, send word. I will come out and receive them. Oh, and if you don't have enough people to fill the slots I won't be offended."
With that being the end of it. In the span of just a few years Yang Rai took the second rank force and pushed all the way up to the top of all other forces. His methods were terrifying. Even just then with his last words to the many elders. It ended up having the reverse effect.
There were 1000 slots every five years. Even for the major forces that would be difficult to pad on their own. So instead they opted to receive disciples from their subordinate Sects as well. With this they now had the means to pad that number. All of them realized that even though he may say it. It is still highly offensive to not fill the slots given.
Yang Rai took this time to travel a fair bit. And reinforce other Universe worlds with immunity to the ink force. He did this inside of the two Great Territories near Star Boundary. He had also been searching for any other resources that could be easily replenished. Similar to his trees. It was not fruitful, sadly.
Yang Rai did however make time to go find Sun burning Shine and Moons nether glimmer. He had to ask them something. Rather more like a favor of them. You see he had a major problem.
When Yang Rai arrived he saw a plethora of cultivators curled up in the fetal position. Then he saw the two individuals he was there to see. Both of them were fighting about who won and who lost.
"I apologize for interrupting your fight but I have a request from the two of you. Would you be willing to hear me out? Elder brother Huang and Elder sister Lan."
"Tell us who won the fight and I'll help you."
"What if I don't help you to decide who one and who didn't?"
"Then we will beat you."
"Well then I get exactly what I'm asking for then."
