I'm telling you, we need to strengthen the Hao Chen Clan. Each and every one of you is irreplaceable. I didn't crush your bones or cripple you as that would be a huge loss! How many Foundation Establishment stage cultivators does the Yao Clan have? 55, that's how many. Our clan only has 23. If we cripple the future Establishment cultivators won't that be a huge loss! How will our clan stay alive? We need more stronger people in our clan, so we can group together and fight against our enemies. If we hurt one another, what if tomorrow we become a sight for sore eyes in the Yao clan's eyes. They can flatten a clan twice our size!
We need to actively be looking for clan members that have potential to reach Foundation Establishment, even if that is as far as their Dao path goes. Tomorrow when the Yao Clan attacks, who will hold the fort down, prevent the sky from falling and save your sorry ass from a grizzly death, it's not your chewed out pride that's for sure.
Do you not think you can make it to Foundation Establishment? Have some confidence in yourself, if you are a little bit stronger, we can gang up and beat up some loose cultivators and steal their belongings. Who do those better resources then belong to? US! That's who. If you are a bit braver, we can attack the lesser clan members from the Mao, Zhao or Feng Clans and pocket their assets.
Who knows, some of them might be carrying around some treasures or secret cultivation arts. Why just limit your mind to this backwards plane of existence. We should be aiming for our Hao Chen Clan to asend with us to the upper dimension. Can you imagine that, each and every member of the Hao Chen Clan, standing proudly, carving a corner of a stronger more resourceful world.
Don't give me that look, *sigh* you act like a second rate villain, come up to me claiming, "I'm courting death" just because I took your seat at the elders lecture - don't you know that's the quickest way to permanently ascend? If I killed you there and then, your grandfather would come to make me join you, suddenly you'll have a brother appear from a sect that is more stronger than our own who will be back in time to visit co-incidentally at that time or hell you might have a long lost aunt appear from a higher dimension who wants to take you with her to ascend and then in a rage flattens the whole sect.
I'm naturally kind hearted, I didn't ask you to kowtow or cripple your cultivation. Do you know how big of a loss that would be to the clan?
You are giving me a funny look, do you not believe in higher dimensions - truly a frog in a well. Take a step back and watch this.
*Casually punches a hole through to a higher dimension, puts his hand through it and draws out a peak immortal treasure*
It's not always reliable and sometimes depends on what you envision, a nifty trick - don't you think so. It doesn't link to any specific dimension, it's connected to a myriad of them - just don't look at, greet or acknowledge any spirits or creatures that promise you power once you reach through it. You might hear whispers, if you fall prey to any of them - body possession is the least of your worries. They may rent your soul for a million years as a source of power or make you serve as a cleaner for inter-dimensional worm residue. But I believe in you, after all you share the same blood as a genius like me and come from the soon to be famous Hao Chen Clan. *Pat Pat* - go ahead, put your hand through it and see what you draw.
They draw their hand through it and take out some panties. Look at you speechlessly and you look back speechlessly. *Slap* get your head out the gutter and quickly put that back! They hesitate a bit too long or are just shocked in oblivion and the portal closes.
*Sigh* you just picked up a soul trace marker from a very powerful female cultivator. Just hope she isn't bothered enough to go find you or our Hao Chen Clan will die in it's infancy. You might as-well keep those as a souvenir. Truly worthy of being part of the Hao Chen Clan, daring to stand against immortals and beings across dimensions - not fearing death. Maybe I should warn the clan master to throw you out the door the first sign of a powerful female cultivator approaching the clan, avoid a catastrophe - how many of our clan members lives will be wasted for your... acquired taste, tut tut. Maybe he should give you a few spirit stones to cultivate well and survive the cruel world. But then again, if you lose your life out there - what a huge waste for our Hao Chen Clan that would be.
*Pat pat* - look how managnamous I am, not just letting you be after you assulted me, instead of burying you in a ditch. And on top of that, not ratting you out to the clan master after you dared to offend someone so high level that maybe this whole world combined could not contend against. Ah, the sacrifices I make for the clan and effort I put in to educate you all.
Look at you, all speechless from gratitude. Seeing how you've been so receptive to learn, why don't you come with me three months later to explore the Yao clan's territory, I'm sure there will be a lot of opportunities for the both of us. Your face looks kind, which is why I am sharing this opportunity with you and you better be there. Don't make me come find you or I might stuff you in a storage bag for a year to properly reform you, the elders in this sect are too soft. You younglings don't know the aggressiveness of a tree branch, belt or slipper and they say the cultivation world is cruel.
Maybe I am soft, come a little closer - let me try wringing your neck a bit and see how it feels. Why are you running away brother - I promise I won't actually harm you. I wouldn't hurt a fly! You really can run fast, well I'll see you in 3 months!
-> Hashing out this concept of an OP MC who trains their clan members to be SMART and leads them to ascend properly and not prematurely.
