The establishment of the Star Palace naturally requires more than just people.

Location, resources, mentors, and cultivation techniques, all four are indispensable.

Chen Zhixing, backed by the Ziwei Chen Family, didn't need to start from scratch to create a new force. With the family's help, all he needed was to create the cultivation technique and then wait for the results to blossom and bear fruit... As if!

"What are you talking about? The selection for the quota hasn't been decided yet, and there have already been sixteen murder cases in the nearby city this month?"

"These are just the reported ones. Because they involved other Noble Families, the subordinates didn't dare to hide it. As for those cultivators of ordinary origin, even if they died, the news might not even reach you." Chen Zhaosheng said coldly, his expression not looking good.

Well, he had been hung upside down in front of the Longevity Hall for an entire night yesterday, so his bad mood was understandable.

Chen Zhixing didn't care about his cousin's little tantrum, and after hearing the news, he just felt a toothache. However, he had already thought about the chaos that would ensue in the world for the selection of Star Palace members.

"It's very troublesome. If we allow them to fight like this, won't the Noble Families, whose people have died, cause us trouble?"

"In the short term, probably not."

"Oh, that's good."

"Hmm... Hmm? Wait a minute! You don't plan to let them continue this chaotic fighting, do you?" Realizing this, Chen Zhaosheng looked at Chen Zhixing as if he were looking at a scoundrel.

Chen Zhixing shrugged: "Isn't this a good idea? Choose a place, send people in, and the last nine hundred remaining will become disciples of the future Star Palace. The people selected this way will have one of the attributes of temperament, cultivation, luck, or family background, and they will be easier to train in the future."

"Are you talking nonsense! What about loyalty? What about our relationship with other Noble Families? How should we take care of our own family members? And what if they cause trouble in the Star Palace?"

"Are you asking me?"

"Hmm?"

"Think for yourself, set the rules if you want them. If everything requires me to decide and solve, where will I find the time to cultivate?" Chen Zhixing said irresponsibly.

Chen Zhaosheng: "..."

A bit incredulous, Chen Zhaosheng asked: "So, you're not planning to get involved in the Star Palace affairs at all?"

"Of course, I'll manage it, why wouldn't I? Here, this is the Star Palace I planned, and your task is to build it in the shortest time possible. As for other matters, handle them yourself."

Saying this, Chen Zhixing handed over a jade mirror.

Chen Zhaosheng took it and examined it.

Uh.

To be precise, a few seconds later he looked up at Chen Zhixing with a gaze that seemed to say, "Are you crazy?"

"Celestial Saint Palace?"

"Star Palace."

"This is the Celestial Saint Palace! Do you think this direct disciple of the Celestial Saint Palace wouldn't recognize the Holy Land's supreme treasure?" This time, Chen Zhaosheng was truly on the verge of losing his mind.

He knew Chen Zhixing was devious, but he didn't expect it to this extent. Wanting the 'Celestial Saint Palace,' the top treasure of the Celestial Profound Realm, was understandable because he wanted it too. But who could have anticipated that Chen Zhixing intended to mold the Star Palace completely in the image of the Celestial Saint Palace?

The key issue was that every ten years, three hundred members of the Celestial Saint Palace would join the future Star Palace!

To blatantly steal right under their nose, isn't that a bit excessive!

And then....

"What's excessive about it? It's not excessive. In the future, all Star Palace members' Lifebound Dharma Treasures will be uniformly set as certain halls of the Star Palace. Hmm, this is the Ziwei Star Map of 286 Main Palaces I noted. From now on, a rule will be set in the Star Palace that a necessary condition to become a Core Disciple is that the Lifebound Dharma Treasure must be in the Upper Unity Palace."

It has to be said, establishing rules from scratch is a very pleasurable thing.

This is a blatant attempt to profit for oneself. And the profit targeted is the ceaseless flow of benefits to oneself over the millennia, and to obtain these benefits, only a short sentence is needed.

As for whether the rule set by Chen Zhixing would in endless future years become the reason for countless Star Palace members to curse him, the founder ancestor, it was not Chen Zhixing's concern.

"The list on this map... are all the Ziwei Star Officials you appointed?"

Seeing this map, Chen Zhaosheng was not angry anymore.

He realized that Chen Zhixing's previous words were just to provoke him, while the actual plan was already set.

Ziwei Three Stars.

Four Directions Taoist Palace.

Listed are 286 Star Officials, forming the core of the Star Palace direct line.

An additional 1,178 Inner Sect members are governed by the 286 Star Officials.

The remaining disciples are all registered solely! Not included in the True Inheritor ranks!

Since the framework has been outlined, what remains falls upon Chen Zhaosheng to consider, which is his primary duty.

Distribution of interests.

"Ziwei Star Officials thirty-nine, Tawei twenty, Celestial Market nineteen, Cang Lao forty-eight, Black Tortoise seventy-six, White Tiger fifty-six, Vermilion Bird forty-six. Should the allocations for these 286 Star Palace slots involve superiority and inferiority?"

"Naturally. Ziwei, Tawei, and Celestial Market are the upper three palaces, with Ziwei overseeing everything, Tawei assisting in regulation as palace steward, and Celestial Market assisting in controlling new members. The Four Symbols are the lower, also split into four, each managing its disciples, and specially setting up competitions within the sect... You should be more familiar than I am with these rules for managing people."

"You mean, future disciples will be divided into five grades?"

"Nine grades."

"Nine grades? Isn't that too much?" Chen Zhaosheng pondered slightly: "Most of the disciples able to enter the Star Palace are already in the True Self Realm. If nine grades are truly divided, wouldn't it give rise to many more unnecessary disputes?"
