The Invincible Sect Leader

The Heavenly Mystical Sect had begun to take shape. Techniques were being refined, disciples were training, and a foundation for power was being laid. But one thing was still missing a true sect headquarters.

The hidden realm was vast, untouched by the outside world, and filled with potential. Chan Li had chosen this place for a reason. It would become the birthplace of legends.

But first, it had to be built.

Surveying the Land

Chan Li led Xie Yun, Luo Feng, and Yan Rui deep into the hidden realm, past mountains and rivers, until they reached a massive plateau surrounded by towering cliffs and cascading waterfalls.

The spiritual energy here was even denser than in the valley they had trained in. The very air felt charged with power, a place perfect for cultivation.

"This is where our sect will rise," Chan Li declared.

His disciples looked around in awe.

"Master, how will we build it?" Xie Yun asked. "We have no materials, no workers"

Chan Li smirked.

"We do not need workers."

With a wave of his sleeve, he raised his hand toward the sky.

BOOM!

A wave of Qi burst from his body, spreading through the land.

The ground rumbled, and the waterfalls split apart, revealing a massive cavern hidden behind them.

Ancient ruins lay within a relic of a lost civilization. Structures of stone, broken jade pillars, and abandoned formations etched into the walls.

Luo Feng's eyes widened.

"This… this is an ancient sect's ruins!"

Chan Li nodded.

"This land once belonged to a forgotten power. Now, it will belong to us."

He turned to his disciples.

"You have one task restore this place. Strengthen it. Expand it. Make it worthy of the Heavenly Mystical Sect."

The First Formation: The Sect's Protection

Restoring an ancient sect's ruins was no easy task. The structures were damaged, the spiritual veins beneath the earth were unstable, and dangerous traps were hidden within the ruins.

Step 1: Reinforcing the Spiritual Veins

Chan Li and Xie Yun worked together to balance the spiritual veins running beneath the land. These veins were essential they provided the foundation for the sect's energy flow.

Xie Yun's Tai Chi cultivation helped stabilize the wild energies.

Chan Li used formation techniques to redirect the flow of Qi, ensuring that the spiritual energy would remain abundant.

After two days of work, the land's energy stabilized, becoming even richer than before.

Step 2: Setting Up the Sect's Grand Formation

A sect's headquarters needed a formation to protect it from intruders. Chan Li personally crafted the Heavenly Mystical Sect's Grand Formation, using ancient runes he had memorized from the palace's books.

"This formation will do three things," he explained.

1. Conceal the sect from outsiders. No one would be able to find them unless invited.

2. Defend against attacks. Any enemy that tried to breach the formation would face illusions, traps, and suppressive Qi.

3. Enhance cultivation speed. Within the formation, disciples would cultivate twice as fast as normal.

Yan Rui and Luo Feng helped carve the formation's runes onto the sect's walls and mountainsides, each stroke filled with spiritual intent.

Finally, Chan Li activated the formation by pouring his own Qi into it.

BOOM!

A powerful wave of golden light spread across the ruins, sealing the sect within a protective barrier.

The Heavenly Mystical Sect was now truly hidden from the world.

The Sect's Sacred Grounds

With the formation in place, the disciples divided the land into different areas for the sect.

1. The Main Hall – The heart of the sect, where meetings and ceremonies would be held.

2. Cultivation Chambers – Special rooms built near spiritual veins to maximize training efficiency.

3. Combat Training Grounds – An open area where disciples could spar and refine their martial skills.

4. Alchemy Pavilion – Where future alchemists would refine pills and medicines.

5. Forbidden Library – A hidden underground chamber where only core disciples and Chan Li could enter, storing ancient knowledge.

The First Sect Ceremony

After two weeks of hard work, the sect was finally reborn.

Chan Li stood atop the highest peak, looking down at his disciples.

"From this moment forward, the Heavenly Mystical Sect is officially founded."

Xie Yun, Luo Feng, and Yan Rui knelt before him, their expressions filled with pride.

"Disciple greets the Sect Leader!"

A storm rumbled in the distance, as if the heavens themselves acknowledged the birth of a new power.

Chan Li looked up at the sky, his eyes sharp.

This was just the beginning.

Soon, the world would learn of the Heavenly Mystical Sect's rise.
