Originally, Wang Xiu had sought out these disciples hoping to convey his plan for handling the Human Souls through them. But now, with this group chat, he had a much better option.

He opened the chat group, named "Mine Today, Ascend to the Heavenly Palace Tomorrow," and found that his arrival had already caused an uproar.

Disciple A: "Newbie, post a pic!"

Disciple B: "Wang Xiu? That name sounds so familiar! Wait, Senior Brother Wang Xiu?"

Disciple C: "Holy shit!"

Disciple D: "Holy shit!"

Disciple E: "Holy shit!"

Disciple F: "..."

Liu Shi'er: "Senior Brother Wang Xiu has joined the group! Everyone, welcome him!"

Wang Xiu: "Hello, everyone!"

Disciple A: "Is it really him?"

Disciple B: "It really is Senior Brother Wang Xiu! I thought it was just someone with the same name!"

Disciple C: "Welcome, welcome!"

...

Wang Xiu smiled faintly and typed a few lines into the chat.

"First of all, I want to thank all my fellow disciples, my brothers and sisters, for your trust and support in the Divination Sect!

"I know that by choosing to borrow from the Divination Sect, you must have endured a lot of rumors, perhaps even slander and ridicule! These rumors may have come from your mentors, your relatives, your friends, and your brothers.

"No one knows better than I do how powerful those words can be!

"Yet you still chose the Divination Sect with conviction, and for that, I am deeply moved! On behalf of the Divination Sect and myself, thank you all for your trust!"

Reading these words, the group fell silent for a moment. Then, messages began to flood in.

Disciple A: "Senior Brother Wang Xiu, please don't say that!"

Disciple B: "I don't care what anyone else says! I know for a fact that you are definitely not the scoundrel they make you out to be!"

Disciple C: "Senior Brother's Immortal Sect loan genuinely changed our destinies! My aptitude is average, and I was stuck at the Ninth Heaven of Qi Refinement for two years, completely unable to break through to Foundation Establishment. The monthly stipend I received was pathetic, not nearly enough to buy any Elixirs!

"The Elders looked down on me, and no master was willing to take me as their disciple!

"I knew that on my own, this was probably the end of the road for me. I had even resigned myself to leaving the Immortal Sect, being sent off to some other city to live out a mediocre life.

"But after I borrowed money from Senior Brother Wang Xiu, I bought five bottles of Qi Nourishing Pills all at once and finally... I succeeded in reaching Foundation Establishment!

"Senior Brother Wang Xiu, you're my savior!"

Disciple D: "My story is pretty similar! My fiancée despised me for being poor. She didn't just tear up our marriage contract in public—she also got together with a Demon Cultivator. After borrowing money from you, Senior Brother, I went straight to the Task Hall and posted a request. I hired several Senior Brothers at the Core Formation Stage to take care of it. They utterly crushed that despicable pair!"

Disciple F: "..."

...

The disciples in the group seemed to have been struck a chord, and one after another, they shared their stories.

Wang Xiu watched silently. Finally, he sent another message.

"Thank you, everyone! To show my gratitude for your support and trust in my Divination Sect, I hereby announce—

"From now on, any brother or sister who has borrowed from the Divination Sect may freely grant salvation to the Human Souls wandering within the blessed land!"

As soon as the message appeared, the group went dead silent for a moment.

Then, it erupted.

Disciple A: "Holy shit!"

Disciple B: "Holy shit +1!"

Disciple C: "+1!"

Disciple D: "+10086..."

Disciple A: "Senior Brother, are you serious? We can grant them salvation? Those Human Souls?"

Disciple B: "Really? We can just do it however we want?"

Disciple C: "Are we allowed? We can do it too?"

Disciple D: "..."

Disciple F: "..."

In an instant, the number of messages in the group soared past 99+. The announcement caused an explosion of activity, pulling in everyone, whether they had been lurking or ignoring the chat. The commotion only continued to grow.

Wang Xiu replied earnestly, "A disciple of the Divination Sect never jokes about such matters."

The group chat went completely wild, especially those disciples who had ventured deep into the blessed land and witnessed the scene with their own eyes. They knew exactly how many Human Souls existed there. They were everywhere—at least a million of them!

And what did granting salvation to Human Souls represent?

Merit!

This was a sea of merit!

To put it bluntly, ignoring the time cost, if Wang Xiu were to grant salvation to these Human Souls himself, he would be showered with so much merit that it wouldn't be impossible for him to become a Child of Fate on the spot.

And Senior Brother Wang Xiu was willing to give away such a terrifying amount of merit? To not take it for himself but let them have it?

In the group, someone still asked in disbelief, "Senior Brother Wang Xiu, are you really going to share all this merit with us?"

Wang Xiu replied, "The Divination Sect's lineage has dwindled down to just my junior sister and me. Who knows when the Immortal Sect might just decide to abolish us! Besides, I'm not skilled in subduing demons and devils. I could be killed by one at any time. This merit is better off with you than with me!

"You are the future of the Sanqing Immortal Sect! The great responsibility of revitalizing our sect rests on your shoulders!

"This is all I can do to help! Keep it up, everyone!"

Of course, he knew what these disciples were saying was true. The problem was, the time cost... it couldn't be ignored! There were simply too many Human Souls. If he had to grant them all salvation by himself, who knew how many years it would take. He'd probably be doing it until he vomited! It was far better to attract more people and get them involved. Not only could he build his own reputation and that of the Divination Sect, earning goodwill and winning people over, but he could also strengthen the Immortal Sect's foundation. Most importantly, it freed him up to cultivate his image. With all the time it would take to grant salvation to those souls, Wang Xiu could have raised his own cultivation Realm to an unimaginable level. It was a strategy that killed several birds with one stone.

Seeing Wang Xiu's response, the disciples couldn't hold back any longer. Tears streamed down their faces. Their hearts ached with sorrow and sympathy.

What an incredibly selfless spirit
