Chapter 475: Ideological Education!

"Just now, I passed on my energy to you all, and you should have felt it yourselves. This time, your absorption efficiency is far worse than it was three months ago!" Gu He spoke with a stern expression, addressing Xiao Yi Xian and the other three.

"Yes, over the past three months, we have made almost no progress!"

Seeing Gu He’s serious demeanor, Xiao Yi Xian replied earnestly.

"We have indeed been too lax these past three months!" Nalan Yanran lowered her gaze to the ground, looking somewhat ashamed.

"It’s my fault for disappointing you, Master!" Han Yue followed suit, staring at the ground just like Nalan Yanran, while Han Xue simply bowed her head in silence, not daring to speak.

Observing their reactions, Gu He turned his back to them and continued, "The reason you have not made significant progress in the past three months is, on one hand, due to a lack of battles, and on the other, because you've spent far less time on training than before. It seems none of you feel any pressure anymore. Since that’s the case, I will give you some pressure!"

Before Xiao Yi Xian and the others could respond, Gu He directly started calling names.

"Xian'er, you first!"

Hearing Gu He call her name, Xiao Yi Xian stepped forward and respectfully said, "Master, please instruct me!"

Gu He turned around, his gaze landing on Xiao Yi Xian as he spoke in a calm tone, "Xian'er, ever since you unified the Cloud Mist Empire and became its ruler, I have made no further demands regarding your training. Your growth has always pleased me. However, perhaps because your cultivation path has been smooth since then, and your strength has far surpassed your fellow disciples, you have become increasingly complacent."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian's face flushed slightly. Gu He’s words were absolutely fair. Ever since she had reached the Dou Venerate realm, she had indeed developed a subtle sense of superiority—not in a way that looked down on her fellow disciples, but in how she had started to slack off in her own training.

"Master’s criticism is justified. I will take this as a warning," Xiao Yi Xian lowered her head and responded.

"Today, I am giving you a new task: within two years, establish a force that can rival the Two Sects and Three Valleys!" Gu He directly announced her assignment.

His task was for Xiao Yi Xian to form a new faction. However, rather than mentioning the renowned Four Pavilion Alliance in Central Plains, he instead challenged her to contend with the prestigious Two Sects and Three Valleys.

The reason was simple—at Xiao Yi Xian’s current level, there was no one in the Four Pavilion Alliance capable of restraining her. Among the Four Pavilions, only Starfall Pavilion had any real strength before Yao Chen’s misfortune. The other three were nothing more than jokes.

In the Central Plains, any reclusive powerhouse could easily sweep through the remaining three pavilions.

"Establish a force equal to the Two Sects and Three Valleys…"

Mulling over Gu He’s words, Xiao Yi Xian’s expression became tense.

Since arriving in the Central Plains, she had learned quite a bit about the Two Sects and Three Valleys. Burning Flame Valley and Ice River Valley were both ancient and powerful factions, with terrifyingly strong Valley Masters. As for Sound Valley, it was the most enigmatic—while its existence was well-known, very few people had ever encountered it directly.

And above the Three Valleys, the Two Sects—Heavenly Nether Sect and Flower Sect—boasted even greater numbers of experts. There were even rumors that Saints resided within them.

Gu He’s assigned task was undoubtedly an extremely difficult one.

"Xian'er, do you have the confidence to complete this task?" Gu He’s tone grew more forceful as he questioned Xiao Yi Xian.

After pondering for a while, Xiao Yi Xian raised her head and looked directly at Gu He. "Master, I honestly don’t have great confidence, but I promise that I will definitely complete the task you have given me!"

"Hmm, it’s good that you can say that… This task indeed has its challenges, but what I want to see is your transformation." Gu He nodded at her response before continuing with a rhetorical question. "If you can’t even surpass the Two Sects and Three Valleys, how can you possibly hope to confront the Soul Hall, which stands above them?"

"Soul Hall!"

Hearing these two words from Gu He’s mouth, Xiao Yi Xian’s thoughts immediately became complicated.

Back in the Jia Ma Empire, during the events at Cloud Mist Sect, she had already learned from Nalan Yanran about the terrifying strength of Soul Hall. After arriving in the Central Plains, she had only heard more and more stories about its immense power and mystery.

"That’s right… Master has clearly pointed out before that this so-called ‘Soul Hall’ is an enormous force with countless powerful experts! If I want to contend with Soul Hall, the Two Sects and Three Valleys will be my testing ground."

"Master, please rest assured. Within two years, I will establish a force that surpasses even the Two Sects!" After considering the matter, Xiao Yi Xian once again gave Gu He her firm assurance.

Seeing that Xiao Yi Xian had accepted the task, Gu He’s face remained calm, but a slight smile appeared as he nodded. Then he said, "Good. Now, step aside."

Once Xiao Yi Xian had moved to the side, Gu He wasted no time before calling the next name.

"Yanran, step forward!"

Hearing Gu He call her name, Nalan Yanran followed Xiao Yi Xian’s earlier example and took a step forward, standing before Gu He.

"Yanran, your current strength is indeed much greater than when you first left the Cloud Mist Sect," Gu He remarked.

"Master, does this mean…?"

Nalan Yanran, who had lowered her head in expectation of criticism, was surprised to find that Gu He hadn’t reprimanded her at all.

Just moments ago, even Xiao Yi Xian had been scolded.

"Previously, your Mistress chose to pass the position of Sect Leader of Cloud Mist Sect to you. How do you feel about that now?" Gu He asked in a calm tone.

"The feeling of being Sect Leader?"

Hearing his question, Nalan Yanran was momentarily stunned. She didn’t understand why Gu He was suddenly asking about this.

Back when she first took on the role of Sect Leader, she had been worried about not doing well enough and had felt overwhelmed. Training time had inevitably been sacrificed due to the responsibilities of leadership.

But now, under Xiao Yi Xian’s "guidance," she had long since become a hands-off leader, delegating all matters to others.

"Could Master be implying that I haven’t been fulfilling my duties properly as Sect Leader?" Nalan Yanran couldn't help but wonder.

"It seems you still haven’t understood my point."

Seeing Nalan Yanran remain silent, Gu He shook his head slightly before shifting his gaze toward Xiao Yi Xian, who stood a few meters away. He then called out, "Xian'er, explain to Yanran what it feels like to be the leader of a sect!"
