Scattered Like Stars Across the Sky

Zhang Yang looked at the image conjured by Azure Cloud Master and silently took out a piece of paper to record it.

At this moment, the three teams had just landed in the secret realm, and everyone was somewhat bewildered.

They had to compete for heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and also snatch other groups' markers... None of them had ever experienced this before, and they didn't know what to do.

However, some people are born with leadership qualities!

In this situation, someone stepped forward and began to organize the team members to do things.

Others are good at coming up with ideas and planning actions.

Some people are just used to following orders...

Then, the three groups sent out scouts to survey the surrounding area, searching for heavenly materials and earthly treasures while simultaneously confronting the other groups.

"You brat, they've all started fighting, and you're not going to do anything about it?" Azure Cloud Master looked at Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang stared at the phantom scene without turning his head. "They need to fight to hone their skills. Master, I have a general idea of their behavior. Now, throw a few Demon Beast at them and see how they adapt to the situation!"

Azure Cloud Master shook his head speechlessly. He hadn't tormented his junior brothers and sisters like this back in the day!

These kids are really doomed to have such an Eldest Senior Brother!

Although that's what he thought, he still listened to Zhang Yang's words.

Driven by him, the Demon Beast in the secret realm inexplicably approached the battlefield from all directions.

In a very short time, Azure Cloud Master dragged the disciples out of the secret realm one by one, because their lives would be in danger if they didn't come out soon.

How could this group of novice Golden Core possibly be a match for so many Demon Beasts?

After everyone withdrew, they saw Zhang Yang glaring at them with a very unpleasant expression, and they all felt a little wronged.

They were fighting just fine, but their luck was just too bad—who knew a group of Demon Beast would suddenly attack them?

"Your performance has disappointed me greatly!" Zhang Yang said in a deep voice. "Although I have assigned you combat missions, you must first understand that you are fellow disciples."

When faced with other dangers, we must unite against them!

How can we face other enemies if we cannot entrust our backs to reliable brothers?

Therefore, those who chose to ambush others while their fellow disciples were dealing with the Demon Beast will receive a demerit. I think you all know who was behind the attack, so I won't name names to save you face.

This kind of thing is absolutely unforgivable!

I'm warning you, anyone who makes this mistake again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Several people in the crowd lowered their heads in shame.

Clearly, they were the ones who were only focused on the mission.

"Next, I will officially assign you your tasks!" Zhang Yang looked at the ninety people in front of him. "Zhang Changshan, you will lead the thirty junior brothers and sisters in blue clothes to form the Azure Cloud Sect Blue-Clad Squad!"

Your mission, the thirty of you, is to go to all the villages north of the Azure Cloud Sect and recruit villagers who have already cultivated, to take them as your disciples or junior brothers and sisters. From now on, these people will be under your command.

Then, teach them everything you do every day. This includes learning about the history of the Azure Cloud Sect and our Azure Cloud Sect. Then, expand your ranks.

The extent to which your Blue-Clad Squad can exert its power in the future depends on how many people you recruit.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

"Understood!" Zhang Changshan said loudly.

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "I appoint Junior Sister Cao Ying as your deputy. She comes from a noble Aristocratic Clan, and there are some things you need to learn from her. Also, your Blue-Clad Squad will be given two Spatial Rings; you can decide who controls them."

This Spatial Ring contains one million Spirit Stone and three hundred pills; these are your resources for the near future.

I hope you can use these resources to do even more.

"Yes!" Zhang Changshan answered first, then asked, "Eldest Senior Brother, can we teach the Cultivation Method to those villagers?"

Zhang Yang said with a smile, "I already taught them this half a year ago, so your task now is simply to see how many people have reached the Foundation Establishment and recruit them into your ranks. But remember, no one is allowed to bully those villagers. Anyone who does such a thing will be expelled from the Azure Cloud Sect at best, and executed at worst!"

"Yes, we won't!" Zhang Changshan hurriedly said.

"Alright, go ahead!"

Zhang Changshan led thirty men down the mountain in a hurry.

After descending the mountain, Zhang Changshan immediately sent several Golden Core Realm to fly north ahead.

Some members of their team couldn't fly, so they had to send a few people ahead to recruit others.

"Wang Baole, you take the Red-Clad Squad and head to the south of the Azure Cloud Sect!" Zhang Yang then instructed. "Your mission is the same as Zhang Changshan's, so I won't elaborate. The other resources are the same for you. Also, send Li Er as your deputy!"

Although Li Er lacked experience, his background in the mountains meant he could make good use of his abilities in the wild.

"Yes, Eldest Senior Brother!" Wang Baole also left with his men.

Zhang Yang looked at the Yellow-Clad Squad, then at the woman in charge, and said with a smile, "Junior Sister Liang Yi, the Yellow-Clad Squad is now in your hands."

"Don't worry, Eldest Senior Brother, we won't have any problems either!" Liang Yi clenched her fist and bowed deeply.

She exuded a heroic air; although she was a woman, she wore a bun hairstyle and short clothes, looking very capable.

Zhang Yang smiled and nodded, "You'll go to the west side of the Azure Cloud Sect, and you'll be given the same resources. Also, I need to arrange two bodyguards for you here, Shen Junhao and Mei Qiulian, to assist you and make it easier for you to handle problems."

"Thank you, Eldest Senior Brother!" Liang Yi nodded. "If there's nothing else, I'll take them and set off."

"Go!"

Zhang Yang waved and watched everyone leave.

In a short while, only a few people remained from the Azure Cloud Sect.

The Azure Cloud Sect has returned to its usual tranquility, which makes the people of the Azure Cloud Sect feel somewhat uneasy.

"Eldest Senior Brother, why did they leave?" Situ Mingyue asked.

Zhang Yang said with a smile, "They've gone to expand and grow stronger. Before long, our Azure Cloud Sect will have many more people. Junior Sister, you also need to join in!"

"I'm leaving too?" Situ Mingyue was surprised.

Zhang Yang nodded slightly. "The Azure Moon Merchant Association has been operating in Azure Cloud Town for a year now, and all aspects of its business are well-established."

The Azure Moon Merchant Association should now establish more branches.

Your trip to the Cloud Soaring Merchant Association was specifically to handle this matter.

Uncle Qin will accompany you then!

With a Primordial Spirit Realm accompanying her, Situ Mingyue should be fine.

Situ Mingyue nodded slightly. "Alright, I'll go back to Cloud Soaring!"

She's been away from home for several years; it's time for her to go back and see her mother.

She planned to take her new business model back to show her father the potential of the Azure Moon Merchant Association and prepare to compete with him.

Azure Cloud Master sighed, "They're all gone!"

"Master, they'll be back soon!" Zhang Yang said with a smile. "Besides, I also need to go out for a walk!"

Azure Cloud Master looked at Zhang Yang: "Are you leaving too?"

"I'm planning to make a trip to the Cloud Mountain Empire!" Zhang Yang said seriously. "I don't care much about the sects on the Azure Cloud Continent, but the Cloud Mountain and Cloud Soaring Empire are ones we have to take seriously."

These two empires each possess hundreds of millions of people, and these people are extremely important to our Azure Cloud Sect. To put it bluntly, the future strength of the Azure Cloud Sect is directly related to them. Now that my junior sister has gone to Cloud Soaring, I naturally have to make a trip to the Cloud Mountain Empire."

"It's too dangerous for you to go alone!" Azure Cloud Master frowned.

Zhang Yang smiled slightly, "Master, although I am only at the Golden Core Realm, I have so many Spirit Artifacts, so my strength is not weak. More than half of the Azure Cloud Sect's three-year plan has already passed, and we still have two and a half years. We must speed up our pace. Don't worry, Master, I will come back to see you soon."

Azure Cloud Master looked at Zhang Yang, tossed him a Zhang Yang pendant, and said, "Crush it if you encounter danger."

"Thank you, Master!" Zhang Yang put away the jade pendant, bid farewell to his master, and went to the Cloud Mountain Empire.

Azure Cloud Master watched Zhang Yang away into the distance, remaining silent for a long time.

Ling Yunzi suddenly appeared and said, "It's safer if I go with him, in case someone tries to kill him!"

"You're also aiming for the Dao Integration Realm!" Azure Cloud Master said with a wry smile.

He discovered that everyone in the Azure Cloud Sect had very heavy tasks.

Ling Yunzi smiled and said, "Zhang Yang is the most important person to us. Without him, the Azure Cloud Sect doesn't know when it will be able to break free. As for my Dao Integration Realm, if I can achieve it, great; if not, it's not something I can break through by closing myself in seclusion."

"You..." Azure Cloud Master looked at Ling Yunzi.

Ling Yunzi smiled calmly, "Eldest Senior Brother, you've worked hard all these years, it's time for us to do something for you. Don't worry, I'm fine!"

After watching everyone leave, Azure Cloud Master seemed to have made a great decision. "It 'Azure Cloud Master time for me to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm!"

He could have entered the Tribulation Realm long ago, but he didn't dare to break through!

The Tribulation Transcendence Realm is extremely dangerous, and no one can be sure of its success. If something goes wrong during his Tribulation Transcendence Realm, the Azure Cloud Sect will be completely finished. Therefore, he has been delaying it again and again, hoping that someone in the Azure Cloud Sect can take over before he goes to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. Even if something goes wrong, the Azure Cloud Sect can still continue.

However, with all the junior disciples striving to break through to the Dao Integration Realm, Ling Yunzi even making a selfless act at a critical moment, and all the disciples working tirelessly for the Azure Cloud Sect, it was time for him, as the School Leader, to show his abilities as well.

Azure Cloud Master said fiercely to himself, "It's time for me to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm! I will definitely succeed this Tribulation Transcendence Realm!"
