Chapter 474.
Actually, what Wang Feng said wasn't just aimed at opposing Bibi Dong.
He personally had no interest in unifying the continent, he merely proposed a way of thinking for the people of the Douluo world.
Unifying the continent is an immensely complex endeavor, involving countless factors. In truth, every form of unification has been built on mountains of corpses. It's no easy task to make two rival empires submit.
Wang Feng understood this clearly. He didn't consider himself cut out for such a mission. For him, focusing on cultivating peacefully was the most important thing.
However, those present were all top figures on the continent. Whether it was Ning Fengzhi, Yu Yuanzhen, or a royal prince like Dai Mubai, they were all people capable of shaping the future of the mainland.
By planting this way of thinking in their minds, the Douluo world might genuinely change one day, and unification could come sooner. That was the real intent behind Wang Feng's words. Confronting Bibi Dong was simply a way to introduce this idea.
But there was a deeper intention behind it...
It was like planting a seed in their hearts. Whether it would take root and grow depended on what lay ahead. Still, the impact of those words lingered.
"What Xiao Feng said does make some sense..." Ning Fengzhi said thoughtfully. "But it's –still too distant and difficult. Still, if a truly unmatched figure arises who can unify the continent, I don't think our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Sect would refuse—provided we're genuinely convinced. Years of conflict have indeed held back progress."
Ning Fengzhi's words were modest, appearing noncommittal and oriented toward the future—but who can really predict the future?
Still, his words revealed a certain openness.
Yu Yuanzhen let out a loud laugh and said, "Wang Feng, while what you said may sound a little idealistic, it's still valid. But unifying the continent is just too complicated. If it's just about setting a direction and a goal, then I support your perspective."
Wang Feng smiled. These two were clearly not easy to manipulate.
Yu Yuanzhen's words essentially meant: "I agree with your idea in principle, but as for actually doing it..."
Wang Feng never thought that a few persuasive words would make these experienced leaders completely support him or rush into action. That simply wasn't realistic.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Feng said, "Since unifying the continent is too complicated and far off, how about this - let the three sects unite first, so at least you'll have the strength to protect yourselves against the Soul Hall?"
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen both nodded. They strongly agreed with this approach and could even take immediate steps toward it.
Wang Feng then looked at Tang San. Tang San nodded and slowly said:
"The Clear Sky Clan doesn't wish to return to the spotlight. So, I want to establish a new sect called Tang Sect. Sect Master Ning, you likely already know that I specialize in crafting all sorts of exquisite hidden weapons—tools that can be used even against powerful soul masters. My Tang Sect can manufacture these weapons for your disciples, provided I have the support of both your sects."
Wang Feng had already known Tang San's thoughts over the past two days.
Establishing Tang Sect. Tang San was the first to share this dream with Wang Feng–.
Of course, Wang Feng approved. He saw it as Xiao San's dream in this world.
And a man with a dream is always worthy of respect.
Unlike himself… Wang Feng's dream was much simpler—
Check in, show off, grow stronger, and ...
This was just the first step.
If one were truly to unify the continent, Tang San's hidden weapons would be essential. So this initiative was also the first move toward building real power.
In fact, Wang Feng's speech earlier had been intended to give Tang San a foundation to build on.
"Tang Sect?"
Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen glanced at each other.
They both knew well how powerful Tang San's hidden weapons were. Ning Fengzhi had seen them firsthand, and Yu Yuanzhen had heard about them through disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Sect.
"That's right," Tang San confirmed with a nod.
But if the three great factions were to unite, there needed to be a clear leader. In other words—who would take the lead? Who would they follow?
Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen clearly picked up on Tang San's intention.
"Though you are Grandmaster's prized disciple," Yu Yuanzhen said calmly, "you must first establish your sect. Just having hidden weapons isn't enough for us to fully support you."
Ning Fengzhi nodded slowly as well. After all, what kind of status did their two sects hold? Why would they support a brand-new sect so easily?
"Father, since Third Brother is founding a sect, there's no harm in supporting him..." Ning Rongrong gently tried to persuade her father.
"Hey, if Third Brother is starting a sect, then I'll be the first to join him!"
Oscar stood up and said in an enthusiastic tone.
"I feel the same way."
Ma Hongjun, remembering what Er Ming had said, smiled as he echoed the sentiment.
But despite his smile, his eyes were filled with seriousness.
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing remained silent. Their current identities carried significant weight, and they couldn't casually make such commitments. Doing so would be irresponsible to the powers backing them.
If they were free individuals, they would have agreed immediately.
Their master and several other teachers were all part of Shrek Academy, and now that Shrek had the support of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, it wasn't so simple to make a move. There were still several factors to consider.
"Little San, if you want to build a powerful sect," Ning Fengzhi said after some thought, "then other matters come second… The most basic question is, does your Tang Sect have a Titled Douluo to hold the fort?"
Yu Yuanzhen also nodded. Without a Titled Douluo, no matter how strong you are, it's all just theory.
Look at the top powers on the continent—none of them lack a Titled Douluo. Without one, how can your sect even be considered?
"How could we not?" Tang San suddenly smiled and looked toward Wang Feng.
"Brother Feng is the first elder of our Tang Sect. Isn't he at least equal to a Titled Douluo?"
Wang Feng let out a few coughs.
Yu Yuanzhen and Ning Fengzhi immediately fell silent.
"A Soul Emperor at just over level sixty?" Yu Yuanzhen scratched his head. "Even if he did indirectly save our two sects, can that really compare to a Titled Douluo?"
Ning Fengzhi thought to himself, 'You don't know what happened at the Supreme Pontiff Palace five years ago... Back then, this kid fought two Titled Douluo alone. And now, five years later, he's surely grown even stronger.'
But Ning Fengzhi also felt that the events back then might have been exaggerated. Maybe the kid had used some special technique to survive and fight against those two Titled Douluo.
"It's entirely possible." At this moment, Sword Douluo suddenly smiled and said,
"Brother Yu, this kid truly is comparable to a Titled Douluo... In fact, ordinary Titled Douluo might not even be able to defeat him now."
Hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen was stunned. If Sword Douluo said this, it must carry weight.
"If that's the case... then it's worth considering," Yu Yuanzhen said with a thoughtful frown.
Wang Feng had done a great service for the Blue –Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
If he truly possessed the strength of a Titled Douluo and supported Tang Sect, then even the group of elders within the sect wouldn't be able to object.
Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up, and he said with interest, "Sect Master Yu, why don't you test it for yourself?"
