Sect Token, Phoenix Saint Art

The Azure Cloud Warship flew toward the Azure Cloud Sect at an incredible speed.

Crossing ten thousand miles in an instant.

Inside Azure Cloud Hall.

After learning that the Sect Master had returned, Outer Sect Elder Ye Bai and Guardian Elder Wang Xuan hurried over to report on their work.

This was what Feng Qingyang had instructed before leaving. He wanted to see how the Azure Cloud Sect had functioned while he was away.

"Sect Master, over the past two days, forces large and small have continued sending resources. The number of Storage Halls has already reached twenty."

"After coordinating with the Lin Family Head, the resources have been continuously sent to Azure Cloud City."

"The construction of Azure Cloud City has already begun to take shape."

After Ye Bai finished his respectful report, Wang Xuan stepped forward as well.

"Sect Master, during the two days you were away, with my Guardian Team present, everything at the Azure Cloud Sect and the Azure Cloud City construction site has been normal."

"Mm. As one of the faces of our Azure Cloud Sect, Azure Cloud City must be built to perfection."

Feng Qingyang nodded in satisfaction.

Then, with a grand wave of his hand, he declared extravagantly, "Pour resources into it without restraint. Speed up the construction progress."

As the supreme overlord sect of all Spirit Province, the Azure Cloud Sect lacked nothing now except resources.

The situation now was that even if you rushed to deliver resources to the Azure Cloud Sect, it still depended on whether the Azure Cloud Sect was willing to accept them.

What? You said then you would not send them?

No matter. There were plenty of people and forces who wanted to send them! One less would make no difference.

"Yes, Sect Master."

"Oh, right. You two should make preparations."

"On an auspicious day, we will open the mountain to accept disciples. You may leave."

Outside Azure Cloud Hall.

Taking in the full view of the Azure Cloud Sect, one could see that the entire sect had gained another conspicuous building.

It was the hundred-story Trial Tower that had directly manifested within the sect.

At this moment, Shi Hao and the other two stood blankly beneath the tower. Looking up, they saw the towering giant pierce straight into the clouds.

Then things became awkward.

After arriving at the sect, Shi Hao and Lin Bai had said they would show their junior sister Hua Qingyu around and help her familiarize herself with the sect.

Yet before they had even gotten familiar with much, they had been stumped. They had never seen this tower before either...

"Senior Brother, what is such a magnificent tower for?"

"Oh... this is our Azure Cloud Sect's... giant tower!"

Shi Hao's answer was as good as saying nothing.

"Ah, right, right, that's exactly it."

Lin Bai chimed in as well...

Hua Qingyu was actually even more bewildered than the two of them. From the moment she arrived, she had been utterly stunned by the Azure Cloud Sect, which resembled an immortal realm.

Thinking again of what her master had said that day, perhaps in his eyes, even hegemonic forces could be wiped out with a turn of the hand.

Not even a Sacred Land could compare with the Azure Cloud Sect!

Good thing that senior reminded me decisively. It seems senior truly had the foresight!

Hua Qingyu thought to herself.

Mu Shuixian was also greatly shocked at this moment, though not by the Azure Cloud Sect's immortal-realm-like grounds.

As someone in the Great Emperor Realm, what sights had she not seen before?

Her composure was not that poor.

Rather, the moment she arrived at the Azure Cloud Sect and thought of that mysterious Sect Master who had exposed her identity, her curiosity was stirred.

Her Great Emperor Realm divine sense unconsciously spread out, wanting to probe the depths of the Azure Cloud Sect.

Yet the instant she released her divine sense, it was directly crushed back by an even more powerful divine sense.

Then, a voice echoed within her sea of consciousness.

"For the sake of your connection to the Sect Master's disciple, I will spare you this once. Dare to offend again, and you will be executed!"

Mu Shuixian was instantly frightened into retreat. Even the state of mind of a Great Emperor nearly shattered.

The Azure Cloud Sect actually had such an expert! She did not dare think any further.

Shi Hao and the other two took a brief walk around the sect again.

Then they headed to the Storage Hall.

On the way, they happened to encounter Elder Ye Bai. Before his calm and unruffled expression—though inwardly he was utterly astonished—they took out all the Sacred Medicines and pills on their persons.

"Elder, these are the pills we obtained from the secret realm. We are now handing them all over to the sect."

"Mm. You have shown consideration."

After saying that, Ye Bai calmly put them away.

But why were the hands of a peak Shattering Void Realm expert trembling slightly?

He had never seen so many Sacred Medicines in his life!

Shi Hao and the other two then headed to Azure Cloud Hall. Their master had said he had something to give them.

Inside Azure Cloud Hall.

"Master."

"You're here. These are your Sect Tokens."

Feng Qingyang waved his hand, and three azure-blue tokens flew out and landed in Shi Hao and the others' hands.

He had extorted them from the system during those two days at the royal palace.

Damn it! How could the greatest sect in all the heavens not even have disciple tokens?

After he reasoned with the system for a while—threatened it—the system generously sent over a large batch.

There were more than enough, so it would save him trouble in the future.

These tokens could not only prove one's identity, but also store Contribution Points. He had already planned it all out: in the future, some things within the sect would require Contribution Points to exchange for them.

The sect would post missions on the Mission Board. Disciples would earn Contribution Points by completing them, then exchange them for items or use them to enter the sect's secret realms and such.

Of course, disciples could also use the Contribution Points in their own tokens to post missions on the Mission Board.

However, the sect would take a five percent service fee. It could be said to be very benevolent!

Shi Hao and the others picked them up for a look. The words Azure Cloud Sect were engraved on the azure-blue tokens.

Then they turned them over and saw the words Direct Disciple engraved on the back.

With these tokens, they could represent their status and standing within the sect.

"Thank you, Master."

Shi Hao and the other two immediately clasped their hands and thanked him.

Though they were somewhat doubtful. Had their master not said they would begin as outer sect disciples?

Shi Hao had often called himself the Azure Cloud Sect's eldest outer sect disciple. Now, he would have to yield that title to the junior brothers who entered later.

"You three passed through the Ancient Saint Secret Realm, so you have experienced a brutal battlefield."

"From today onward, you are official Direct Disciples."

"Thank you, Master!"

Shi Hao and the other two were stirred. They clasped their hands again. Now they were their master's disciples in name and truth.

"Oh, right. Qingyu, I have a cultivation art to pass on to you."

"Consider it your welcoming gift upon joining the sect. Open your divine sense."

At this, Hua Qingyu opened her divine sense.

A streak of purple light flew into it.

"Phoenix Genesis Saint Art!"

After sensing it slightly, she discovered that this cultivation art was especially suited to her Phoenix Sacred Body.

It was simply tailored for her!

She hurriedly thanked him.

"Thank you, Master."

"Qingyu will certainly not disappoint Master or the sect!"

"If I do, may heaven strike me with five bolts of lightning, and may my body and soul perish!"

She was deeply moved!

The master she had thought was merely a convenient one had passed such a cultivation art to her the moment she joined the sect.

Thus, unable to help herself, she made a Great Dao Oath.

One must know that once cultivators made a Great Dao Oath, they absolutely could not go back on it. Otherwise, Heart Demons would inevitably arise, and their body and soul would perish!

"There is no need for this. You may all go cultivate first."

"Qingyu, leave the ring on your hand behind. I have something to say to her."

"Yes, Master."

At this, Hua Qingyu removed the ring from her hand.

She knew that her master was aware of the senior's existence within the ring.

They had even spoken to each other that day.
