Blue-Clad Brigade

Zhang Yang was quietly cultivating, unaware of what had happened to these Demon Lords.

In fact, even Azure Cloud Master didn't understand it.

He dared not enter the Spatial Crystal Wall that sealed those Demon Lords; at most, the two sides would clash through the Spatial Crystal Wall barrier. However, separated by the Spatial Crystal Wall, the numerous Demon Lords were suppressed by the Azure Sky Ultimate Cloud Formation and could not release much power, thus missing some information.

This time, Zhang Yang's performance was exceptionally enjoyable.

Various Demonic Dao Power and Devil Qi were absorbed by his Golden Core.

The Golden Core grew a little larger again, Golden Core shell also thickened somewhat, but the inside of the Golden Core remained completely empty.

Of course, although there was nothing inside the Golden Core, Zhang Yang's spiritual power had now reached an unknown level of depth.

Zhang Yang didn't know how long he had been cultivating. He only felt that the Demonic Dao Power and Devil Qi no longer seemed to be of any help to his Golden Core, so he woke up from his meditation.

When Zhang Yang sensed an even stronger concentration of Demonic Dao Power and Devil Qi within the space, he glanced at the Spatial Crystal Wall and thought these Demon Lords were quite sensible.

It's important to understand that this Demonic Dao Power originates from the power of those Demon Lords; if their power is drained, the Demon Lord will also die.

Azure Cloud Master, who had been keeping an eye on Zhang Yang, saw that Zhang Yang had woken up and led him out of the Formation Space, asking, "How are you?"

Zhang Yang looked troubled and said, "Master, the Proto-Dao Form still hasn't appeared. Why is it so difficult for me to break through to the Nascent Soul stage? I've long heard that it's difficult to break through to the Blank Golden Core, but this is too difficult for me!"

To be honest, he has absorbed an unimaginable amount of Cultivation Resources.

They even ate heavenly materials and earthly treasures like Rainbow Fish, various Spirit Stone and elixirs, and even absorbed Demonic Dao Power, but it was still useless.

Azure Cloud Master calmly said, "It's alright. You're not without your own benefits either. If we're just talking about the depth of spiritual power, you're probably the best in the world when all the Golden Core Realm and Nascent Soul Realm cultivators are combined."

"But without breaking through to the Nascent Soul, there's no way to cultivate the subsequent power!" Zhang Yang sighed.

He felt his spiritual power was profound, but could it possibly compare to that of the Primordial Spirit Realm or the Dao Integration Realm?

Azure Cloud Master said seriously, "Anyway, we don't have any experience with the Blank Golden Core, so just keep piling on resources, and you'll eventually break through. As for the Nascent Soul Realm, you really don't need to rush it."

There is definitely a difference between the Nascent Soul and Golden Core Realm, but the essential difference is not significant.

For those in the Nascent Soul Realm, the Nascent Soul can comprehend more of the Laws of Heaven and Earth and Laws of Heaven and Earth to generate power.

However, the power of its Law Technique still depends on the amount of spiritual energy.

With your profound spiritual power, you are perfectly capable of bridging this gap.

After a pause, Azure Cloud Master continued, "Only when cultivators enter the Primordial Spirit Realm and refine their emptiness into godhood will there be a fundamental difference in their perception of the Laws of Heaven and Earth. Therefore, unless you encounter a cultivator in the Primordial Spirit Realm, you don't actually need to be so careful."

Of course, I'm referring to the Prodigy Battlefield.

"If you are outside the Prodigy Battlefield and possess Spirit Artifact for protection, even ordinary Nascent Primordial Spirit Realm will be unable to harm you."

Zhang Yang nodded slightly. "I understand what Master means. Does it mean that although I am currently at the Golden Core Realm, my strength has already reached the Nascent Soul Realm?"

Azure Cloud Master shook his head slightly and said seriously, "What I said is the general situation, but in the Prodigy Battlefield, it's hard to say."

Those who can enter the Prodigy Battlefield are not to be underestimated.

Besides, the Prodigy Battlefield is inherently dangerous, that's for sure.

Another point is that you should never underestimate anyone; everyone has a few life-saving tricks up their sleeve.

"Yes, Master, I understand!" Zhang Yang nodded.

He stopped dwelling on the Golden Core breakthrough and instead asked, "Master, do you know if Zhang Changshan and Wang Baole, those younger disciples, have made any progress?"

These people have been away from the Azure Cloud Sect for so long, how's their recruitment going?

Azure Cloud Master smiled and said, "They're all doing well. They're already on their way back. Each team has brought back over a thousand disciples for the Azure Cloud Sect. The ninety disciples they recruited earlier are all at the Golden Core Realm."

Zhang Yang was excited to hear that the Azure Cloud Sect had gained many more disciples, and hurriedly said, "Master, I'll go see them."

Azure Cloud Master nodded slightly and watched Zhang Yang leave.

He was actually very excited; the Azure Cloud Sect had indeed risen from its lowest point to become the strongest.

A few years ago, their Azure Cloud Sect only had eight people, and they were so poor that they only had a little over a hundred Spirit Stone.

Now, the Azure Cloud Sect possesses hundreds of millions of Spirit Stone and has thousands of disciples.

In terms of sheer numbers, this already surpasses the largest number in the history of the Azure Cloud Sect.

With so many disciples growing up, it's not impossible for the Azure Cloud Sect to regain its glory.

He thought to himself, "If the Azure Cloud Sect were given a hundred years, what would it have to fear from any other sect in the world?"

Unfortunately, with various major sects eyeing the Azure Cloud Sect covetously, surviving a century in peace will not be so easy.

After leaving the Azure Cloud Sect, Zhang Yang soon saw a large group of people heading towards the Azure Cloud Sect, and immediately flew over to them.

Judging from the color of their clothes, they should be Zhang Changshan's Blue-Clad Squad.

At that moment, a member of the Blue-Clad Squad suddenly spotted someone flying in from a distance. A Golden Core Realm immediately reported to Zhang Changshan, "Report! Someone is approaching!"

"Be on guard!" Zhang Changshan shouted. "Golden Core Realm cultivators, cover the Foundation Establishment Realm! Everyone else, prepare your Law Technique and use all your power... Eldest Senior Brother!"

He was still arranging for people to be on guard when he saw someone approaching and realized it was Zhang Yang.

"All alert!" Zhang Changshan gave the order first, then stepped forward, smiling at Zhang Yang, "Eldest Senior Brother, what brings you here?"

Zhang Yang laughed heartily, "I heard from Master that you were back, so I came to see you. I noticed you were in a defensive formation just now. Is there something else going on with this trip?"

Zhang Changshan smiled and said, "Eldest Senior Brother, you once said that it's always right to be on guard when you see someone approaching, regardless of whether they're Eldest Senior Brother or foe. We usually train everyone according to the rules you taught us, so everyone's reaction time is pretty fast."

Then he reported the situation, "This time we passed through fifty-four villages and found a total of 1,532 people who could Foundation Establishment. The oldest was over fifty years old and the youngest was only ten years old."

As instructed by our Eldest Senior Brother, we have recruited them all into our team and distributed resources to them for cultivation.

Of course, we also pass on the theoretical knowledge that our Eldest Senior Brother taught us to them, so that they know the history of the Azure Cloud Sect and the mission of revitalizing Azure Cloud Sect.

The only unexpected thing was that when our team entered the west, we encountered a small force called Blood Sword Manor, who were planning to plunder our resources and kill our people.

We fought back fiercely, and after a brief battle, we wiped out Blood Sword Manor and seized their resources.

We brought all of these things back to the sect.

Zhang Yang smiled with satisfaction; this was the team he had hoped to assemble.

What's the point of being a good child?

Now that the team is formed, it's time to show its fangs. If anyone dares to bully them, they'll be torn to shreds.
