Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough
chapter-796

This... What happened to the three religions...?

Hearing the suggestion of the young man who had come on behalf of the three religions, the person from the imperial family that was hiding no more than a few meters away from the young man could not help frowning as a flash of surprise flashed through his eyes for a brief moment.

Compared to the people from the different sects who had shown up for the sect alliance meeting, he understood very well how much the three religions hated the different sects and wanted nothing more than to exterminate them if they got the opportunity to do so without having to worry about the imperial family or each other.

For them to be willing to even take them in was not something he nor the rest of the imperial family had ever considered. Not only because the three religions would normally be unwilling to ever bring up something like this, but also because there was no way the experts from the different sects would ever be willing to reduce their strength to join them.

After all, while they could escape getting attacked by the three religions by converting, they would in turn have to deal with the even more powerful imperial family that was the most powerful force inside the Sky Empire. Not something anyone from the different wanted to do. Even if they had the chance to convert without the risk of losing part of their cultivation base as a result...!

Hmph... Does the three religions perhaps think these sects are unaware of the demerit behind converting-

"As many of you already know, there is a chance of losing part of one's cultivation base when converting to a believer and us three religions have already come together with an agreement that will make sure to cover for any loses you might incur during this process.

Not only this, but we will also do the same for your sect's elders and disciples! With all of this in mind, we also plan to assist you in advancing beyond your current realm after you converted!"

Just as the middle-aged man from the imperial family began to snicker silently to himself while disdainfully looking towards the young man who had come as a representative of the three religions, the person in question interrupted him and directly proved him wrong.

Just how many resources do they have... Did they perhaps contact their main branch in the core of the continent for help...?

Remembering just now that the three religions were in fact only branches of a much larger organisation that stretched across the entire continent, the middle-aged man could not help sighing to himself as he concluded on how the three religions would be able to afford helping so many people convert without having to worry about their loss in strength.

Different from the rest of the people present, he understood just how expensive it was to do something like this. The resources needed to help a single First Stage Domain Lord Realm Expert convert without him losing any strength were already more than enough to help nurture three new Domain Lords!

The resources needed to do something like this was not even something that the imperial family could afford to lose. Only the three religions with the help of their main branch in the core of the continent had the ability to waste so many resources without worrying!

...

At the same time that the middle-aged man from the imperial family was lamenting over just how many precious resources would be wasted by the three religions to pull something like this, Xuan Hao who had been observing the entire situation could not help feeling curious after hearing what the young man said.

Although he had heard about converting to become a follower of a god before, he had never thought about doing so. Especially after learning that his strength would reduce by a minor realm or in the worst case scenario, a major realm!

Even if he had no idea about the amount of resources that would be needed to prevent this from happening, he still understood that it should be something astronomical from looking at the reaction of the person from the imperial family who remained frozen for a good five seconds after hearing that the three religions were willing to ensure no one would lose anything after converting.

If it was just for the people present, it might have been fine... But the three religions promised to do this for everyone in the sect who agreed. Be it disciples or elders, they would cover the loss of everyone who converted to their religion!

"I didn't expect for the three religions to do something like this... I expected for them to crash the meeting and try to force it to disband or something similar... Looks like the three religions are really not doing well due to the sudden appearance of the Church of the Plague God..."

"Did something happen with the Church of the Plague God?"

Hearing Xu Bao muttering to himself, Xuan Hao could not help feeling curious about the subject. After all, he had not really heard a lot about the Church of the Plague God ever since it had disappeared from the Heavenly Sky Kingdom and the surrounding kingdoms where his sect was located. Them taking control of around a dozen kingdoms close to the edge of the core of the Sky Empire, was about the only thing he had heard about them so far.

"Hm? Did I say that out loud... Excuse me... It's just that the Church of the Plague God has recently begun showing signs of starting to invade the two closest kingdoms that both happen to be under the control of one of the three religions.

For this reason, the three religions are in an extremely tense state as two of them are getting prepared to fight against the Church of the Plague God again, while the last one is left alone... And it just so happen that the one left behind is the Order of the Sky God, who has a bad relationship with the other two religions, someone who will definitely look for an opportunity to weaken them while their focus is on defending their territory against the Church of the Plague God!"

"I see... It looks like they don't want to end up dealing with an additional opponent and make their current situation even worse. Looks like the imperial family chose the perfect time to set up the sect alliance..." Shaking his head as he said this after hearing what Xu Bao said, Xuan Hao could not help feeling that the imperial family was far more scary than these three religions.

Even if the three religions were backed by a far more terrifying power located at the core of the continent, the imperial family of the Sky Empire was not someone that was easy to mess with. This could also be seen from how they had managed to remain in power even with three powerful religions trying their best at taking control over the empire away from them and turn it into a faith empire that would allow them to more freely spread their own faith across the territory of the Sky Empire.

After all, even if the three religions already spread their faith to most of the kingdoms in the Sky Empire, some of the more powerful and larger kingdoms that were under the direct control of the imperial family remained outside their sphere of influence.

No matter how much they wanted to enter these large kingdoms filled with millions upon millions of people that could be used to gather faith, there was no way that the imperial family would allow them to do this... And they could only give up considering that the imperial family was ultimately still in control.

"Everyone, you don't have to make a choice now and it can wait for after this little meeting..."

Whoosh~

Not staying around after having finished saying this, the young man directly left the meeting hall filled with representatives from all the different sects all across the Sky Empire.

Even if no one had gotten to say anything about the offer given by the three religions, it was sure to influence the sect alliance meeting to a certain degree.

In the worst case scenario for the imperial family, it could even result in the powerful sects who didn't get what they wanted from the meeting using the offer given by the three religions to threaten the imperial family into giving away more resources to them...

Those damnable religions! Even if no one ends up joining them, this is sure to cost the imperial family far more resources than intended!

Understanding this very well, the middle-aged man who had been hiding in the corner so far, could not help silently cursing to himself as a hint of killing intent appeared in his eyes while looking in the direction of the young man who had just left the meeting hall.
