I Become Sect master In Another World

Chapter 208 — The Rise of the Sanatan Flame Sect

The atmosphere across the ruined training grounds remained heavy even after the questioning ended.

Fragments of the shattered Heaven Measuring Monument still covered the arena while faint silver spiritual particles drifted through the mountain air like glowing dust beneath the evening sunlight.

And at the center of it all—

The administrators gathered together once more.

Dozens of jade scrolls floated around them while formation records continuously updated themselves through spiritual inscriptions. Several administrators argued quietly while recalculating force evaluations, sect standards, disciple rankings, combat indexes, territorial influence, and cultivation authority.

The situation had clearly become far more complicated than a normal promotion review.

Nearby, Shaurya watched them for several seconds.

Then sighed dramatically.

"...They discuss too much."

Several disciples immediately nodded in agreement.

"True."

"Just promote us already."

Shaurya casually tossed another peanut into his mouth before waving one hand lazily toward the administrators.

"Just make us a top-tier sect already and move on."

Elder An Ning instantly rubbed the side of his forehead.

"...That is not how sect classification works."

Elder Liya folded her arms nearby with visible irritation.

"Try pretending to be serious for at least five minutes."

Meanwhile—

Elder Wan quietly stepped closer toward Shaurya before looking down at the small paper bag in his hand.

"...Are those roasted spirit peanuts?"

Shaurya glanced at him once.

Then silently tilted the bag forward.

Elder Wan immediately grabbed a handful.

"Good man."

The two stood there casually eating peanuts together while watching the administrators debate the future classification of their sect like spectators at a festival.

Elder Liya stared at them in disbelief.

"...Unbelievable."

Neither responded.

Both simply shrugged their shoulders at the exact same time while continuing to eat peacefully.

Nearby, Lin Shu quietly covered her mouth to hide her smile.

Even King Tian Long looked visibly amused watching the scene unfold.

Meanwhile—

The administrators finally seemed to reach a conclusion.

Xu Wen slowly exhaled before speaking several final words toward the others. Multiple jade scrolls sealed themselves automatically while spiritual signatures appeared across the official records one after another.

Then—

Something unexpected happened.

The administrators turned toward King Tian Long.

And bowed respectfully.

Shaurya blinked once while chewing another peanut.

"...Why did they call him?"

Elder Wan glanced sideways.

"Probably because kings become important during kingdom-changing events."

"That sounds political."

"It is political."

King Tian Long stepped forward calmly while Xu Wen handed him an official golden scroll sealed with silver dragon markings.

The two exchanged several quiet words the disciples could not hear clearly.

But Shaurya noticed one thing immediately.

King Tian Long smiled afterward.

Not politely.

Genuinely.

That alone caused several disciples to straighten unconsciously.

Because if even the king reacted like that—

Then the result was definitely massive.

A few moments later—

The administrators finally turned back toward the Sanatan Flame Sect.

This time, every single one of them carried formal expressions.

No exhaustion.

No disbelief.

Only seriousness.

Xu Wen stepped forward to the center of the ruined training grounds while spiritual energy spread outward from his robes, causing the entire mountain courtyard to gradually fall silent once more.

Even Wang Tian stopped talking.

The wind swept softly across the orange sect banners fluttering above the mountain peak.

Then—

Xu Wen opened the golden scroll.

His voice echoed clearly throughout the entire sect grounds.

"By authority of the Azure Moon Dynasty Administrative Division..."

Every disciple straightened instantly.

"Following complete evaluation of sect combat capability, disciple standards, elder authority, resource foundation, territorial influence, internal structure, future development potential, and overall military value..."

The administrators behind him activated multiple recording formations simultaneously.

Silver light illuminated the ruined training grounds.

Xu Wen continued:

"The Sanatan Flame Sect has officially exceeded all qualifying standards required for Level Nine classification."

Several disciples immediately widened their eyes.

But Xu Wen did not stop.

"Furthermore..."

His gaze slowly lifted toward Shaurya.

"Due to possessing multiple Spirit Lord-level authorities, elite disciple generations, advanced sect infrastructure, abnormal combat capability, and strategic growth potential..."

Even the mountain winds seemed quieter now.

Xu Wen’s voice deepened slightly.

"The Administrative Division hereby grants the Sanatan Flame Sect..."

A brief pause followed.

Then—

"Level Eight High-Grade Sect classification."

Silence.

Complete silence.

For exactly one second.

Then—

The entire mountain exploded.

"LEVEL EIGHT?!"

"WE SKIPPED LEVEL ELEVEN , TEN AND NINE?!"

"HIGH GRADE?!"

The disciples completely lost control.

Spiritual pressure erupted across the sect grounds while hundreds of disciples shouted simultaneously beneath the sky. Some jumped directly into the air while others slammed fists against each other in excitement.

Even Luo Chen looked stunned.

"We skipped three ranks?!"

Wang Tian looked like he had ascended spiritually.

"HAHAHAHA!"

He pointed toward the administrators dramatically.

"I KNEW WE WERE TERRIFYING!"

"You said we should become a top-tier sect ten minutes ago," Sheng Lu shouted back.

"That was motivational speaking!"

Even Xiao Rui looked emotionally overwhelmed.

"...We’re officially monsters now."

Meanwhile—

The elders exchanged looks among themselves.

Even Elder An Ning looked genuinely surprised.

"...Straight to High Grade Level Eight..."

Elder Liya slowly exhaled.

"That’s absurd."

Elder Wan casually tossed another peanut into his mouth.

"...Feels deserved honestly."

Nearby, King Tian Long folded his arms while watching the absolute chaos erupt across the sect with visible amusement in his eyes.

Because he understood exactly what this announcement meant.

From this day onward—

The Sanatan Flame Sect would no longer be considered a rising force within the Azure Dragon Kingdom.

It had officially become one of the strongest powers in the entire region.

The celebration across the Sanatan Flame Sect continued for several minutes after the official announcement.

Disciples shouted proudly beneath the mountain sky while sect banners fluttered violently within the spiritual pressure spreading across the grounds. Several younger disciples looked completely overwhelmed by the realization that their sect had skipped an entire classification rank in a single evaluation.

Level Eight.

High Grade.

That title alone was enough to shake nearby kingdoms once the news spread outward.

Meanwhile, the administrators slowly began organizing their records and damaged formation tools. Broken monument fragments were collected carefully into storage rings while official evaluation scrolls sealed themselves automatically with glowing dynasty inscriptions.

Xu Wen stood near the center of the ruined training grounds quietly observing the sect one final time.

The disciples.

The elders.

The atmosphere.

Then finally—

His gaze returned toward Shaurya.

"...Sect Master Shaurya."

Shaurya looked toward him calmly.

"Hm?"

Xu Wen spoke after a brief pause.

"You should begin recruiting more disciples."

Several nearby disciples immediately quieted slightly.

Xu Wen continued professionally.

"A Level Eight High-Grade Sect possessing only five hundred and sixty disciples is considered unusually small."

His eyes moved briefly across the gathered sect members.

"Your quality exceeds standard expectations significantly."

"But your scale does not."

Elder Wu nodded thoughtfully beside Shaurya.

Reasonable advice.

Xu Wen folded one hand behind his back.

"For your current classification..."

A brief pause.

"You should possess at minimum seven hundred active disciples."

One administrator added calmly:

"And honestly, even that would still be considered conservative considering your combat standards."

Another nodded.

"The Sanatan Flame Sect now possesses influence capable of attracting talented cultivators from neighboring kingdoms."

Xu Wen looked directly toward Shaurya.

"I strongly suggest expanding recruitment."

The training grounds gradually became quieter afterward.

Because unlike earlier evaluations—

This was no longer criticism.

It was acknowledgment.

Recognition.

The administrators were now speaking to the Sanatan Flame Sect as equals among major powers.

Shaurya listened carefully.

Then slowly nodded.

"...Understood."

For once—

There was no joking.

No dramatic posing.

Only sincerity.

"Thank you for the advice."

A brief silence followed.

Then Shaurya added calmly:

"And thank you for your cooperation during the evaluation."

The administrators exchanged subtle looks immediately afterward.

Unease flickered briefly across several faces.

Because after everything they witnessed today—

The word cooperation sounded strangely dangerous coming from him.

Xu Wen himself noticed it too.

A faint, tired smile appeared on his face.

"...No."

His gaze moved toward the destroyed monument remains nearby.

"We should be thanking you."

Shaurya blinked once.

Xu Wen continued calmly:

"Today, the Administrative Division witnessed the rise of something extraordinary."

The surrounding administrators silently nodded in agreement.

Not one disagreed.

Then—

Xu Wen raised one hand.

A golden token appeared within his palm.

The moment it emerged—

The atmosphere shifted slightly.

The token was rectangular, forged from dark gold metal engraved with ancient silver dragon patterns spreading across its surface. At the center rested a glowing symbol of eight layered stars surrounding a silver flame insignia.

Level Eight High-Grade Sect Authority Token.

Official recognition from the Azure Moon Dynasty itself.

Even the disciples gradually became quieter seeing it appear.

Because this—

This was real.

Xu Wen stepped forward slowly before presenting the token toward Shaurya with both hands.

"From this day onward..."

His voice echoed clearly throughout the training grounds.

"The Sanatan Flame Sect is officially recognized as a Level Eight High-Grade Sect under the authority of the Azure Moon Dynasty."

A brief pause followed.

Then his expression became more complicated.

"...Advancing from Level Twelve to Level Eight in a single evaluation..."

Even Xu Wen shook his head slightly afterward.

"...is something I have never witnessed before."

Shaurya accepted the token calmly.

The moment his fingers touched it—

The silver flame insignia glowed faintly.

Several disciples immediately erupted again.

"SECT MASTER!"

"LEVEL EIGHT!"

"SANATAN FLAME SECT!"

The mountain peak thundered beneath the celebration.

Even Elder Wan smiled proudly now while Elder Liya quietly folded her arms with visible satisfaction hidden beneath her usual composed expression.

Lin Shu’s gaze rested briefly on the token within Shaurya’s hand before softening slightly.

Because all of them understood something clearly.

The sect had truly changed today.

Not just in rank.

In status.

In future.

In destiny.

Meanwhile—

Xu Wen and the administrators slowly stepped backward before bowing respectfully toward Shaurya and the elders one final time.

Then the administrators departed.

Spiritual ships rose gradually from the mountain platforms one after another before ascending into the sky beneath drifting clouds.

The evaluation...

Was finally over.

The disciples continued celebrating loudly throughout the sect grounds while several elders began discussing preparations for the future.

But—

One person had not left.

King Tian Long still stood calmly near the ruined platform with both hands folded behind his back while quietly watching the departing administrator ships disappear into the distant horizon.

Shaurya noticed immediately.

"...You’re staying?"

King Tian Long glanced toward him.

Then smiled faintly.

"Yes."

The amusement from earlier had faded slightly from his expression.

Something more serious remained beneath it now.

He slowly stepped forward toward Shaurya while the mountain winds swept quietly across the damaged grounds.

"I wish to discuss something important."

And instantly—

Several elders’ expressions changed.
