Heavenly Profound Humbles Himself

Zhang Yang's analysis left Heavenly Profound Daoist with extremely complex feelings.

As a great cultivator who had lived for hundreds of years and founded the Heavenly Profound Sect certainly didn't want it to perish.

He knew about the Azure Cloud Sect's Demon Fetus breaking free of its seal.

Therefore, he was convinced that the Azure Cloud Sect could not suppress these Demon Lords, and that it was only a matter of time before they broke free of their Demon Lord.

As the founder of the school, he naturally hoped that his lineage would be passed down.

Therefore, when he learned that the other disciples wanted to leave Azure Cloud Continent and go to other continents, he did not object.

Of course, as the founder of the sect, he still had the courage to confront those Demon Lords.

In his view, even if he died in the process of suppressing those Demon Lords, at least his lineage would have been passed down.

He couldn't possibly stake all his centuries of hard work on the Azure Cloud Sect's ability to withstand those Demon Lords, so he naturally made this choice.

Now, hearing Zhang Yang's words, he felt a little guilty that their Heavenly Profound Sect had become a negative example.

"What should we do now?" Heavenly Profound Daoist asked. "Is there anything I can do?"

Zhang Yang pondered for a moment before saying, "With this wave of sect relocation, the number of Immortal Cultivation cultivators in the Azure Cloud Continent will decrease significantly in the next hundred years. Among them, there are even many geniuses."

This loss is far too great for our Azure Cloud Continent.

Our first priority is to do everything we can to retain these sects.

Their continued presence on the Azure Cloud Continent represents the Azure Cloud Continent heritage and is of paramount importance.

Secondly, we must protect the ordinary population.

With hundreds of millions of people on the entire Azure Cloud Continent, it's simply impossible for these major sects to discover all the potential Immortal Cultivation.

Only by protecting them can we have a continuous stream of Immortal Cultivation; we must never again experience a large-scale population decline.

Without people, all the methods and resources are just empty talk.

Finally, the sects that are favored by those major sects must be sects with some strength. As for those sects that are looked down upon, such as those that are only top-tier sects with the Golden Core Realm and Nascent Soul Realm stage cultivators, they are unlikely to be favored by other continents.

We need to win over this group and unite them.

This is a war waged by all the people of other continents against the Azure Cloud Continent. We must unite all forces that can be united, otherwise, the Azure Cloud Continent will be in grave danger!

Heavenly Profound Daoist shook his head with a wry smile, "I'm afraid it's too late!"

It takes several years, several decades, and even over a hundred years for a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator to become a Golden Core Realm cultivator.

Cultivating cultivators at the Primordial Spirit Realm and the Dao Integration Realm is even more difficult.

"Since these major sects have taken such action, they certainly won't give the Azure Cloud Continent much longer."

"At most ten years, those major sects will make their move," Zhang Yang said solemnly. "And it's highly likely that this timeframe will be less than ten years; my estimate is around seven or eight years."

Heavenly Profound Daoist sighed, "Why do these major sects insist on taking action?"

He wasn't unaware; he was simply expressing his feelings.

Zhang Yang said calmly, "I don't care why they attacked. The only thing we need to do is resist with all our might. Senior, as Dao Integration Realm, you might be able to go to another sect and compromise to become an elder or something. But we, the people of the Azure Cloud Sect, will absolutely not back down. This time, we will definitely do everything we can to overcome this calamity."

Heavenly Profound Daoist sneered, "If I were willing to submit, would I be waiting to see you?"

"Even a Dao Integration Realm like you, Senior, has stayed behind, so we're not entirely without a chance," Zhang Yang said with a smile.

"Difficult!" Heavenly Profound Daoist shook his head repeatedly. He looked at Zhang Yang, "Even I see no hope, but why do you seem so undeterred?"

Zhang Yang shrugged. "Because we have no way out!"

Instead of being discouraged, try every possible way to face the problem.

Heavenly Profound Daoist looked at Zhang Yang with admiration. "What a pity. If you had been born in the Azure Cloud Sect a thousand years ago, with your Dao Heart, you would definitely have become a famous figure in the Azure Cloud Sect."

"Senior, let's not dwell on those things. We need to face the problem at hand." Zhang Yang waved his hand dismissively. "Since you've chosen to stay, would you be willing to fight alongside our Azure Cloud Sect? To be honest, although your other abilities may be lacking, your Dao Integration Realm strength is still very important to us."

Heavenly Profound Daoist said irritably, "So you mean I'm good for nothing except for my cultivation level?"

For hundreds of years, no one has ever said that about him.

Ling Yunzi hurriedly said from the side, "Senior, please don't be offended. My nephew has been disrespectful since he was a child, and even my Eldest Senior Brother can't do anything about him."

"Can you really stand him?" Heavenly Profound Daoist looked at Ling Yunzi.

Ling Yunzi said with a smile, "Apart from his personality, everything else is fine. We are all very satisfied with him!"

Zhang Yang chuckled and said, "Senior, if a few flattering words could satisfy you, I could do that too. But I know you've heard so many flattering words over the years that your ears are probably calloused. So, let's be honest."

"That's true!" Heavenly Profound Daoist nodded. "I owe my current cultivation level to your master's guidance, so I also owe the Azure Cloud Sect a debt of gratitude. Now that such a major event has occurred, it is only right that I contribute my strength to the entire Azure Cloud Continent. Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

Zhang Yang slowly said, "I need you to personally contact those smaller sects, integrate all their forces, and work together to face the challenges that will arise in a few years."

I've already made arrangements with the Cloud Mountain Empire; they will take appropriate action.

My junior sister has already gone to the Cloud Soaring Empire, and I imagine she'll have gained something from it. Also, my Azure Cloud Sect has some preparations in place.

Other sects are preparing, and so are we. We're not necessarily afraid of them.

Heavenly Profound Daoist hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "No problem!"

He, a dignified cultivator at the Dao Integration Realm, set aside his dignity and personally spoke with those minor sects. Surely, those minor sects would have to give him face.

After a pause, Heavenly Profound Daoist asked, "What is your master's attitude towards those major sects?"

"My master is certainly prepared to face those experts!" Zhang Yang said seriously. "As for the rest, you can go to the Azure Cloud Sect at any time to communicate with my master."

Heavenly Profound Daoist nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "I have some questions that I was just about to ask Senior Azure Cloud Sect. Let me go and pay him a visit first, and we can discuss them later!"

Although Azure Cloud Master repeatedly claimed that he had entrusted Zhang Yang Azure Cloud Sect, Heavenly Profound Daoist still trusted Azure Cloud Master more.

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "That's feasible. Then, senior, come with us to the Azure Cloud Sect!"

After arranging the sect's affairs, Heavenly Profound Daoist followed Zhang Yang and Ling Yunzi to the Azure Cloud Sect.

Upon returning to the Azure Cloud Sect, Zhang Yang and Ling Yunzi immediately led Heavenly Profound Daoist up the mountain.

When Zhang Yang and Ling Yunzi saw Cang Song at the Azure Cloud Sect, they were both stunned.

Isn't this guy from a major sect?

How did I get to the Azure Cloud Sect?

Although Heavenly Profound Daoist did not recognize Cang Song, sensing the powerful aura emanating from Cang Song, he asked with a solemn expression, "Who are you, fellow Daoist?"

The Cang Song smiled and replied, "This One-Guard Monastery the Cang Song!"

Heavenly Profound Daoist suddenly turned his head to look at Zhang Yang. One-Guard Monastery Dao Integration Realm expert from Shouyi Temple appearing at the Azure Cloud Sect? What's going on?

Zhang Yang was a little nervous. Could it be that these major sects had already taken over the Azure Cloud Sect?

"Master!" Zhang Yang shouted at the top of his lungs.

Azure Cloud Master suddenly appeared before everyone, glanced at Cang Song, and said, "He thinks our Azure Cloud Sect has beautiful scenery and plans to stay here. Don't worry, he'll be fine!"

Cang Song's smile was somewhat awkward, but he remained silent.

His Primordial Spirit was imprisoned by Azure Cloud Master; what could he possibly say?
