Chapter 194: Turning sect into cult
The screams of the elder duo died rather quickly around the same time as the other two had, it didn't take much time for Yun Jhin to enter their souls and make them subservient to him, it wasn't mind-control but more of a mind washing technique, Yun Jhin couldn't control God Realm experts or above but he could change their thinking somewhat which wasn't as sure-proof as complete control, they still had their own thoughts and they could control their actions but they would mostly do things that were beneficial to him.
It was something akin to a cult or hive-mind mentality, however that meant that if they found Yun Jhin to be a bad leader or weak leader there was a high chance they would revolt.
Yun Jhin left the two elders alone to continue their job and returned to sit on his bone throne as he thought a little bit about the current situation of the sect.
"Now that the meteorite is full it's time for expansion... but I'm not sure about the current unity of the sect."
The sect hastily rose to its current position and it must have some moles or people that shouldn't be here, now that he had finally finished cultivating to the God realm he could fish out every spy and person that didn't have the good of the sect at heart. At the same time, he could also indoctrinate all of the disciples using his special technique that he just performed on the elders.
Yun Jhin's eyes moved towards the elders and he told them in a cold voice:
"All disciples shall gather at the inner skirts of the sect near the medicinal hall for an inspection and banquet!"
The elders complied and sent the message through the whole sect through the formation.
All the disciples were either happy or suspicious, a banquet? For what reason? Then the message continued as the reason being the patriarch leaving closed-door cultivation successfully, and the fact that he would participate in the banquet to look for a personal disciple who was talented enough to inherit some of his techniques.
This led to a mass gathering with all 10 million people squeezing in a small space trying to attend the banquet! Even those disciples that were out of the sect immediately rushed back as they got information from their compatriots.
Yun Jhin didn't start the 'banquet' immediately as he meditated on the bone throne and waited for every disciple to enter the sect and arrive at the medicinal hall and its surroundings, he already knew which disciples were traitors or not, the technique he gave everyone to cultivate was linked to the blood river and the formation and he could detect which disciple cultivated it or not.
In this situation, those that didn't cultivate his technique were suspicious, after all, with how poor the rogue cultivators were why wouldn't they cultivate a better technique with no strings attached?
Besides the detection when they entered the sect or left it there were truly no disadvantages to the cultivation technique, it was just a small observation and identification for disciples who joined the sect, basically like a badge. Those that didn't want to cultivate it either had a better cultivation technique or had to hide something from Yun Jhin.
Thus it was very easy for him to fish out the moles.
This was the reason he didn't really care for the spies that the other sects sent, maybe it was time to remind them that spies didn't really work on him!
Yun Jhin appeared above the medicinal hall as an extremely long table materialized down below parting the sea of disciples like Moses parted the red sea.
Yun Jhin's eyes were targeting all of the people that didn't have the aura of the technique, his soul willpower moved around the whole crowd as if it was the tentacles of an insidious monster ready to grab its prey and play with it however it wanted, now that he was at the God Realm all of those people that stood before him were only prey in his cold eyes.
He gave out a sunny smile uncharacteristic to him and started with a small speech:
"Now that I have broken through to the God Realm I think it's finally time to get a personal disciple which I can teach him all of my techniques so they could be passed down for the next generations of patriarchs."
"But don't think that my requirements for a disciple are small! I only want the best of the best from all 10,000,000 of you! My intention by hosting this banquet is to find the perfect person that I could take on as my disciple! But this doesn't mean the other disciples don't get to enjoy themselves!"
On the long table delicacies with different cultivation boosting effects appeared from thin air by the use of spatial techniques, all of the disciples who were lucky enough to get near the table and sit at it started salivating unconsciously due to the aroma of the food.
Yun Jhin chuckled seeing their expressions as he waved his hand indicating that they should start eating, his eyes never strayed from the people that were at the table as most of them were the spies!
It seemed these spies were pretty strong as they took quite a lot of seats, from what he could see there were around 3,000 spies in total and every spy was from a different sect!
That meant 3,000 different sects had infiltrated his if their different auras meant anything.
Yun Jhin saw through their disguises with ease while not even alerting them, he looked at how they stuffed their faces with the mind-washing food that he had created and chuckled inside, he didn't really need to kill them making a spy a double agent was better!
Yun Jhin started to spread the food around as he made, even more, appear even for those that didn't get a seat at the table, he made food for everyone present near the medicinal hall and beyond!
All the disciples smelled the delicious food that would help their cultivation speed and immediately started eating not thinking about any type of consequences of the like, why would the patriarch of the sect hurt them?
In the end, all of the disciples didn't know about Yun Jhin's true character as the rumors about how he treated his disciples were always fake due to him employing the same treatment as he did now.
In principle, all the disciples would say how good he was to them and that the blood throne sect only treated outsiders like they were cattle ready to be harvested.
Now that he had successfully given out the altered food he only had to wait for a short while before all of the disciples started to drop down like flies.
The other disciples who only took one or two bites out of the food were immediately alerted as they saw their friends or teammates fall to the ground with foam coming out of their mouths, they looked towards Yun Jhin who was just floating above the medicinal hall with a nonchalant expression and they didn't know what to say as they clutched their throats, they felt something entering their heads through their throats and then infiltrating their souls, it was like a parasite of some sort that was changing how they were thinking on a fundamental level!
Yun Jhin watched everything happening with crossed arms as he waited for a few hours while meditating until some of the disciples started to get up from the ground and looked around as if they were robots who just got a maintenance update.
After they shook their heads they finally saw the floating Yun Jhin and they kneeled to him before starting kowtowing while muttering under their breaths:
"Patriarch! Patriarch!"
They looked at Yun Jhin as if he was the one true God who will bring them enlightenment to the path of immortality, he looked like a benevolent buddha who was ready to sacrifice himself for them in their eyes.
As more and more people woke up the sound of heads hitting concrete was heard more often as they all started to kowtow to Yun Jhin.
In the end, all 10,000,000 disciples were kowtowing to Yun Jhin as the one true ruler of the blood throne sect!
The Elders and Grand Elders appeared and started kowtowing to him as well, now that he had finished getting the sect disciples under his feet he had only a few more things to do now!
Expand the territory of the sect and send all of the spies back when they were supposed to go back... and a get a few more new more important information channels through them!
Yun Jhin looked towards the stars that were the nearest to the meteorite and his eyes glittered with a red light, as he needed to cultivate further into the God Realm he only needed resources to be able to link with further laws, an immense amount of energy was needed to attract the laws and make them submit and Yun Jhin's current businesses weren't enough for him to further his cultivation thus he had to plunder!
