Chapter 975: Functions Of A Sect.
The fallen Dao Lord said to Loki, "A Sect has many purposes. The main purposes are to gain a reliable source of lifespan by draining their disciples with the life leech, gain a source of cheap labor from their disciples, and have a group of helpers helping to create more Divine Metacs for their Supreme Metacs.""Aside from these reasons, a Dao Lord can also establish a sect to help people grow stronger and help create more Dao Lords. That’s why I established my sect back then. But not everyone is so magnanimous."
"Some Dao Lords established their sects to enslave the masses and prevent them from becoming Dao Lords by luring them into a pathway and using their control over the pathway to impose restrictions on the growth of their disciples."
"And some Dao Lords take things further by establishing sects just to raise Dao Initiates and take the pathways of their disciples. At the end of the day, there is no one main reason. There could be more than one reason to establish a sect, and those reasons could change over time to suit the needs of the Dao Lord."
"I think that’s the ultimate purpose of a sect. It is to be a tool that suits the needs and fulfills the wishes of a Dao Lord. As for what those wishes could be, they can be endless."
Nodding in understanding, Loki said, "I see. What you said makes a lot of sense."
What he didn’t say was, "Especially the part about using sects to create Dao Initiates and taking their pathways. That sounds really useful."
Golden Sun wasn’t a Dao Lord and couldn’t read his thoughts, so the fallen Dao Lord remained blissfully unaware of his takeaway from the answer. But the Dao Lords in the sky saw what he was thinking about loud and clear.
Seeing his thoughts, Heavenly Eye snorted and said, "What a noob."
Smiling, Tepid Scholar spoke up to defend him, "Don’t be so hard on the young dragon. He has never been a Dao Lord, so he has never experienced the feeling of raising leeks. There is no way for him to know that he will get tired of free pathways after a while."
"If he becomes a Dao Lord, he will realize that there is a limit to how many pathways he can sustain. At that point, such simple pleasures won’t impress him anymore."
Sneering, Martial Will said in disdain, "Forget reaching the limit. Most of their pathways are poor Minor Grand Daos. Why will I want their shoddy pathways when I can do better?"
Tepid Scholar, chuckling loudly, said, "Speak for yourself. I gained the Talisman Pathway, a Grand Dao, from one of my disciples. Black Chains also gained a Cosmic Dao from one of his disciples."
Shaking her head, Heavenly Eye said in agreement, "It is only the disciples of your sect that are poor. Not that anyone is surprised. What else can they expect from a sect of brawny giants with no finesse and taste for the finer things?"
With eyes blazing in anger, Martial Will said, "Are you calling me stupid? Cause, if my disciples, who follow in my footsteps, are stupid, then they can only have learned it from me. Is that what you’re saying?"
