Heavenly Harem Sect

[: Daniel POV :] 

Yes, young master!"

Their voices boomed in unison, as if the entire world was a mere stage for their declaration. 

I could see the passion burning within their eyes, a radiating fervor that seemed to sparkle like stars.

The excitement was palpable as each of them reached out to grasp what they once longed for - the status of a true cultivator.

Lida's eyes were on the verge of tears as she muttered her amazement.

"I-I'm finally a cultivator!"

With a gentle gesture, I placed my hand atop her head and smiled at her joyous expression.

''Do you doubt me now?''

I asked as my lips curled into a wry smile.

Marza's eyes widened, her face reflecting an intense admiration for me.

''No, master! How could we? You are a real-life miracle," she declared with unwavering conviction.

The women seemed to be on the verge of tears, their faces betraying the passion they felt for me. 

"Very well. With the powers that I have blessed you all with, I will give you one mission to complete,''

I said, my voice taking on a more serious tone as I gave them a task to accomplish.

It was a way for them to test the boundaries of their newfound power, and also to discover purpose in what they could do for me. 

Marza's eyes glimmered with enthusiasm and eagerness as she asked in awe, ''Master, what can we do for you?''

I couldn't help but smile at her newfound title for me, they had already changed my title from young master, to Master. 

Perhaps, they had realized that I was not a mere young master. 

"I want all of you," I began, looking around the group of confidants each one nodding in agreement, "to spread the news about the formation of a sect that recruits females. Those who are interested can come and join us."

I wanted to spread the news fast, hence, it would be better if the members of this elite group would help in recruiting.

"We must reach far and wide," I continued, my voice steady and strong.

"Together we will make my sect great again''

''But the places I want you to recruit from are all of the brothels in the city and you can use any means necessary,''

I said, my voice quavering slightly.

The women looked at me with newfound confidence, their fiery eyes burning brightly. If previously they would have been intimidated by such a task, now though, it seemed they could easily take it on.

''Understood Master! We'll do whatever we can to achieve it!''

Beatrice exclaimed, her voice trembling slightly.

She cast her gaze downwards, her cheeks flushing pink.

"But...young master...what's the name of our sect...?"

Cynthia inquired timidly, her hands clasped in front of her chest, knuckles turning white from how tightly she was gripping them.

I smirked at her question before answering with a deep and confident voice, ''Heavenly Harem Sect''.

Immediately, all of them tensed up, their eyes widening and brows furrowing in disbelief.

I could see the sweat dripping off their bodies as they shifted uncomfortably.

The atmosphere had become silent and oppressive until eventually, one of them broke the heavy silence. 

Rinelle's limbs quivered as she realized what I had inferred.

Her wide eyes were filled with shock and confusion.

''You...you're the sect leader of the Heavenly Harem Sect!?''

She stuttered, her ragged breath fogging up the air around us. 

Malai gasped in surprise, her expression incredulous.

''That Heavenly Harem Sect!?''

She exclaimed, her voice reverberating off the walls.

I flashed a smug grin as I nodded my head in confirmation.

''That's right,'' I said calmly, ''I'm the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Harem Sect. Are you all surprised?''

Cynthia's mouth broke into a wide smile that crinkled her eyes, ''Yes master, it's really a surprise for us - but at the same time, it explains everything.'' 

Marza gave me an admiring look and chirped cheerfully, "We never thought that the voice that appeared in our minds some time ago was you, master - and now, there's no doubt that the only person who could do that is master himself!" 

I beamed with pleasure from Marza's compliment. 

''I never expected that it was master himself, but even then, it's only the master who can perform such godly feats!''

Rinelle exclaimed in awe.

''I still remember how the city was turned into chaos when the master's voice appeared,''

Malai added, eyes wide with remembrance.

''The Noble Families panicked and tried to quell all dissent by punishing anyone who dared speak of it.''

She paused for a moment before continuing.

''It was a tumultuous time for sure!;;

''Because of that, no one in the city remembers the name and even those who do, only have a faint memory of it.''

She added, her gaze slowly shifting away to the carpet at her feet. 

Lida curiously inquired, ''I agree, but we have a question master, why do you establish the sect for the females? Is there any specific reason for it?'' 

She was one of the few who had dared to ask me such a question and I felt nothing but joyousness as I prepared to answer.

''Yes,'' I began, my voice clear and confident.

My gaze shifted contemplatively between them as they awaited my reply.

I cleared my throat before finally answering, ''As I've already said, I'm terribly greedy...and that greed can't be satisfied with one hundred or even millions of disciples.''

''In truth, my hunger for women is unquenchable.''

I paused for a moment before continuing.

''But, please understand that I hold each and every one of you in high regard''

''You are all my daughters and to cross you would be like incurring my wrath.''

My words were spoken with an air of finality.

''Which is why, all of you don't have to worry about being neglected,'

' I answered calmly.

The group seemed to understand my words as their expressions shifted from anxious anticipation to something gentler.

They uttered my title in unison, ''Master...'' in a soft, reverent tone with warm eyes like pools of melted butter.

However, one of them raised a hand and timidly spoke up.

Rinelle's voice was barely above a whisper as she asked her question, ''But master, would it be okay if I asked one more question?''

My mouth curved up into a playful grin as I asked, "What is it, my sweet Rinelle?"

A blush crept across her face before she mustered the courage to ask me, her voice shaking ever so slightly.

"What about - what about the boys? Will they be allowed too?"

She was aware of the strict rules of this sect that only allowed girls in such a young age and knew that there was no denying that her daughter would be joining us soon.

But it was her two sons who were at the forefront of her mind - would I accept them into our midst?

There was fear in her eyes as she awaited my answer.

A fond smile tugged at my lips as I found her concern to be quite adorable.

"Don't worry," I murmured soothingly, "Even though men or young male children won't be able to join the sect, you won't have to worry so much''

''They could reside in one of the cities that I ruled''

''There would be some restrictions, but they can still live without sufferings''

''I won't be able to make sure they have the same benefits as your daughter, but they can cultivate and protect the outerior of the sect like soldiers."

I finished, looking at her with reassuring eyes.

"I am overjoyed," she whispered, a wistful smile painting her lips.

She couldn't possibly protest against my benevolence as it was far beyond anything she could have ever dreamt of.

The cards had revealed the vastness of her powers and the enormity of what I had bestowed upon her.

She knew that my word was law, and hence, she accepted it without any doubts in her mind.

Her eyes shone with gratitude for the opportunity to wield such magnificent abilities; ones that would be coveted by many, and yet here she stood, chosen by me alone.

No negativity could make way into her heart when it was filled with so much happiness.

''Alright, if there's nothing else, I will take my leave, but soon enough, I will return to conquer this city,''

I declared, a fierce glint in my eye. 

The people around me looked uneasily at one another; they wanted me to stay and protect them, but they knew their mission was too important. 

''Understood master,'' all of them said in unison, seemingly relieved by my assurance.

I smiled gently in response before sweeping out of the room.

The sun had sunk below the horizon, casting an orange hue on the sprawling cityscape.

I was transfixed by its beauty and grandeur as I considered my next move.

The million-strong population was a goldmine for me and my sect.

I'd been recruiting women from all walks of life into our ranks, and they were performing their missions with admirable zeal.

The question was, where should I focus my attentions now?

There were so many options; the noble families, the sects...it felt like there wasn't enough time to do it all.

Still, I knew that I had to press on, lest this golden opportunity pass me by.

Sweeping my gaze across the sprawling cityscape, the information of each citizen had been etched into my consciousness as I searched for a suitable noble family to recruit. 

Interesting...

I didn't want to waste any more time, so without another thought, I teleported myself to the residence of a distinguished noble family named Quil.

The head of the household was a Matriarch, but her situation was extraordinary in its own right.
