Li Shiming laments Elder Su's irreversible aging and injuries, offering him precious fourth-grade spiritual tea before instructing him to arrange the Shushan cultivators and join future discussions among the seven sects. Over three months, the massive relocation concludes as the Yin Yang Sect's mountain gate is placed, and Li Shiming collects all seven Sect Jade Orders, formally establishing the Beishu Sect as the continent's sole major power under his guardianship, despite its limited Nascent Soul forces. Analyzing the complex great arrays with his IBMz15, he redesigns a unified formation using existing foundations, employing his Golden Corpses and Heavenly Ghost to meticulously relocate array nodes without waste, culminating in a powerful new barrier that seals the spiritual energy across the merged sects.

Li Shiming relocated the Book Collection Pavilion and the Treasure Pavilion to the ’North Shu Main Peak’ and integrated them directly into the formation.

These two pavilions each contain basic artifact spirits, and with the new formation's creation, the spirits from the original seven sects’ formations combined into a single entity, evolving into a superior intelligent artifact spirit.

The combined efforts of these three artifact spirits established the core management system for the Beishu Sect.

Inside the Book Collection Pavilion, Li Shiming stored away items unsuitable for sharing, while keeping all the others available. For the Treasure Pavilion, he included various treasures that he once dismissed as insignificant.

A massive new grand hall at the summit of the ’North Shu Main Peak’ hosted the inaugural high-level assembly of the Beishu Sect.

Besides the reclusive Nascent Soul Cultivators, every other Nascent Soul Cultivator joined the leaders of the seven main veins for this gathering.

The assembled cultivators remained stunned even now.

They had assumed that blending seven sects into one massive organization would demand a lengthy adjustment phase to fully unify.

Yet, to their astonishment, mere hours after the Yin Yang Sect’s mountain gate fell, a brand-new formation—vastly superior in power to the old ones—stood complete.

Even more shocking was Li Shiming’s decision to call this meeting right after finishing the formation.

During their journey to the hall, they sensed the flawless flow of Spiritual Energy within the formation and detected its pulsing strength, giving them a clear sense of its might.

Moreover, stepping onto the ’North Shu Main Peak’ revealed Spiritual Energy far richer than anyone had anticipated.

Li Shiming had embedded a Great Cultivator Spirit Vein deep inside the ’North Shu Main Peak’, explaining the abundant Spiritual Energy concentration.

His immense labor in crafting this vast and intricate formation served not just to safeguard the Beishu Sect’s mountain gate but, above all, to enclose the ’North Shu Main Peak’ securely.

To embed a Great Cultivator Spirit Vein in the spiritually barren Beishu Continent, direct placement would cause it to rapidly drain away without earthly nourishment, eventually weakening to a mere Nascent Soul Mid-stage Spiritual Vein.

By drawing on the mountain gates of the seven original sects plus innumerable formation bases, the Beishu Sect’s grand formation elevated the land quality around the ’North Shu Main Peak’, severing it from the rest of the Beishu Continent and forging a unique, self-contained domain.

For Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivators, practicing on the ’North Shu Main Peak’ boosts efficiency by at least fifty percent compared to their personal caves.

Every cultivator present—be they Nascent Soul or Golden Core—pondered ways to gain access for their own cultivation here.

"Moving forward, the Beishu Sect will distribute tasks via the seven veins, granting contribution points that match the task’s challenge level. These points allow exchanges for all sorts of resources, treasures, scriptures, and more from the Book Collection Pavilion and Treasure Pavilion.

Any task from one of the seven veins remains open for acceptance by Cultivators from the other veins.

Contribution points can also buy time to cultivate on the ’North Shu Main Peak’. As you’ve likely sensed, this peak’s Spiritual Energy surpasses everywhere else in the Beishu Continent. It stems from the Spiritual Vein I retrieved from beyond our lands. Since it requires careful nurturing, I urge everyone to avoid any wasteful overuse!" Li Shiming explained in a steady tone.

Similar to his earlier use of the Great Cultivator Spirit Vein paired with the Spirit-locking Plate, that method depleted its core essence; yet for solo use, it could endure for ages despite the drain.

However, within a sect setting, such reckless application would ruin the Great Cultivator Spirit Vein’s essence in less than a year.

The right approach for a Spiritual Vein involves embedding it into the soil for natural replenishment through the terrain, while capping usage to guarantee its enduring vitality.

Li Shiming had no way to acquire another Great Cultivator Spirit Vein; his warning aimed to stop the sect’s elite Cultivators from deliberately squandering the ’North Shu Main Peak’s Spiritual Energy reserves.

He wouldn’t linger in the Beishu Sect forever. Despite the protective formation and the watchful artifact spirits of the Book Collection Pavilion and Treasure Pavilion, human oversight remained essential for the sect; exploiting gaps proved all too simple.

"Sir, could you tell us what exactly lies within the Book Collection Pavilion and Treasure Pavilion?" Patriarch Ge inquired with keen interest.

This ’North Shu Main Peak’ had been freshly transplanted and started as a plain, unremarkable height lacking Spiritual Veins or any special traits.

Though they’d glimpsed the Book Collection Pavilion and Treasure Pavilion on Yin Shilan’s peak before, opportunities for thorough inspection had been scarce.

"Feel free to explore them once the meeting ends, but retrieving any Spiritual Objects will demand contribution points!" Li Shiming replied with a faint grin.

"Sir, the Beishu Sect lacks a Sect Master still!" pointed out another Nascent Soul Ancestor.

"Regarding the Beishu Sect’s Sect Master role, the seven vein leaders will rotate through it, each holding the position for a full century!" Li Shiming declared, his mind already set on the plan, a smile crossing his face.

In the world of cultivation, few crave the Sect Master title; most Cultivators shy from deep involvement in sect matters as it severely hampers personal progress.

Certainly, some hunger for authority, yet a Sect Master’s influence stays limited; the role mainly acts as a coordinator, balancing ties among the veins, between Cultivators, and with external forces.

"For the remaining specifics, handle them in your discussions; I’m stepping back from further involvement!" Li Shiming stated firmly, cutting off any additional queries from the others.
