Chapter 55: Naming the Sect
Late at night.
Feng Yu, the family head, bowed respectfully to the figure before him, shedding his daytime warmth for solemn deference. "Master, I’ve delivered the spiritual materials as instructed. Yet one matter puzzles me."
Feng Rong leaned lazily against the windowsill, spinning his wine cup while glancing at a temporary hut nearby. "Speak."
"Why bother selecting a celestial maiden when our Feng Family’s bloodline awakening needs only your guidance?" Feng Yu frowned. "Forgive my bluntness, but I see nothing remarkable about You You."
"Unremarkable?" Feng Rong snorted, finally turning. "Her first Established Contract made a dying Nascent Soul cultivator ascend instantly. Still think she’s ordinary?"
"What?!" Feng Yu’s eyes bulged. "The rumors were true?"
"Question no further. Follow orders." Feng Rong set down his cup and strode toward the door, pausing to add, "From today, I’m Feng Rong. Your son shall be Feng Qi. Understood?"
"…" Feng Yu’s face twisted briefly before he muttered, "Yes."
————————
Ling Qi’s trip to Ni Guang Sect lasted six days. You You might’ve panicked without his daily messaging talisman updates. Their single Spirit Ship departure contrasted sharply with the dozen massive ones they towed back.
You You gaped at the spectacle. Before she could speak, Ling Qi and Lin Feng dumped fifteen storage bags into her arms, clasping their fists with relieved grins. "Master, mission accomplished!"
"But…" She stared at the bags. "We went for compensation, not plunder!"
"Ni Guang Sect’s apology gifts." Ling Qi maintained deadpan seriousness. "Third-rate sects can only offer this much."
She eyed the armada of Spirit Ships. "I said negotiate peacefully!"
"We didn’t lift a finger." Ling Qi blinked innocently. "Their gates opened willingly."
"You emptied their vaults?!"
"Too little?" He looked genuinely puzzled. "We didn’t even take their spiritual veins…"
You You: "…"
Ling Qi: "…"
Awkward silence hung thick.
You You’s logic: Pay for damages, maybe double.
Ling Qi’s logic: Crushed enemies = claim all possessions.
Thus…
Ni Guang Sect — Annihilated!
○-￣-＿
She eyed the loot. "Can we return some?"
"Unnecessary." Ling Qi shook his head. "Ni Guang Sect was collapsing anyway. Wang Xu’s cultivation regressed, their other Nascent Soul elder left. Disciples scattered. The sect’s gone."
"…" Point of no return, then.
After finding the storage bags full of unrecognizable materials, You You shoved them back at Ling Qi. Introducing Feng Family members proved simpler.
With Feng experts and "compensation" resources, sect construction accelerated wildly. Spiritual wood palaces sprouted across floating peaks, dwarfing old Cheng Tian Pavilion. The Five Elements Induction Formation hummed with energy, mist curling around peaks like celestial breath.
Housing crisis solved. New problems emerged.
“Noble Lady, the mountain gate stone has been set up. What name should we carve? Our sect’s title is…” Feng Yu gazed at her with hopeful anticipation.
You You froze, belatedly realizing a critical oversight.
They… hadn’t even chosen a name for their sect!
“I haven’t considered this! Let’s… discuss it now?”
Feng Yu: “……”
Was this truly so casual? The sect was built, yet unnamed!
You You deemed this a serious matter and hastily summoned Ling Qi, Lin Feng, and others. Naming things wasn’t her strength!
“I’ll obey the Master. Any name you choose is acceptable!” Lin Feng declared first, his tone unwavering.
“……” No, you should voice opinions!
“Sect names have always been decided by the celestial maiden,” Ling Qi agreed, adding, “Though delayed, it’s no great issue.”
“But I’m terrible at naming!” You You scratched her head. “I only know company names like Tencent or Alibaba.”
“Tengxun?” Ling Qi mused. “Teng symbolizes flight and ascension in cultivation, while xun conveys swiftness. An excellent choice!”
The others whipped their heads toward him, awestruck, their faces screaming “as expected of the celestial maiden!”
“Let’s use this name!”
“I agree!”
“Same!”
Instant unanimous approval!
You You: “……”
Σ（っ°Д°；）っ
Do you know how astronomical the copyright fees are for those characters?!
“Absolutely not! I was joking—we can’t use Tencent! Think of something else!” Using it would make people suspect authorial boot-licking! Unacceptable!
The group blinked in confusion but resumed pondering without protest.
Feng Rong suddenly interjected, “Why overcomplicate it? Cultivation defies the heavens and battles fate. Just name it ‘Tian Zheng’ (Heaven’s Contention).”
“Brilliant!” Feng Yu, the doting father, instantly endorsed. “This name suits!”
Lin Feng nodded slowly. “Contending with celestial will… The symbolism aligns perfectly.”
“Then ‘Tian Zheng’ is a candidate.” Ling Qi turned to You You. “Master, your thoughts?”
“Wait… you’re serious?” You You facepalmed. “Calling it ‘Tian Zheng Sect’? Doesn’t that sound… laughably naive?”
Feng Rong: “……”
Lin Feng: “……”
Ling Qi: “……”
