Azure Cloud Sect Internal Troubles

"Let's discuss this further later!"

Zhang Yang did not give the Demon Lord a direct answer.

He was certain that his master could hear these words at that moment.

However, the master did not respond, which must mean he had some concerns.

Although he didn't know the specifics, Zhang Yang certainly couldn't agree to it outright.

However, Gudoer didn't insist on anything; he simply recounted the matter in a very casual manner.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Yang left the West Mountain Forbidden Zone.

As soon as they left the restricted area, Zhang Yang asked directly, "Master, you heard what the Demon Lord said just now, what do you think?"

Azure Cloud Master didn't appear, but his words rang in Zhang Yang's ears. "I'm currently strengthening the formation with Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone. Even if they meet, it will have to wait until I've strengthened the formation. You brat, the Myriad Spirits Sect actually gave us Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone too. What do you think that means?"

I can tell you with certainty that Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone are a very important part of a sect's foundation.

They would rather give away a few Spirit Artifact than easily hand over something as rare as Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone.

Therefore, this matter is rather strange.

After pondering for a long time, Zhang Yang slowly said, "Master, although we don't know what the Myriad Spirits Sect's purpose is for the time being, we can analyze it based on our current situation."

Master, do you think there are any problems with our Azure Cloud Sect right now?

"The problem right now should be the Demon Lord himself!" Azure Cloud Master replied.

This question is not difficult to answer at all.

Because the Demon Lord remains in the Azure Cloud Sect, this threat will always exist.

To be honest, even though Azure Cloud Master suppressed the True Name of several Demon Lords, he still had to keep an eye on Demon Lord.

This was very taxing on his mental and physical well-being.

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "The existence of the Demon Lord is certainly a problem for our Azure Cloud Sect at present."

Our Azure Cloud Sect has another major problem: we have far too few experts.

Our foundation is so weak, so incredibly weak!

Currently, the foundation of our Azure Cloud Sect lies in a few Immortal Artifact and a bunch of Spirit Artifact.

Now, of course, there are hundreds of billions of Spirit Stone in additional resources.

However, all this foundation is just a mirage, not true strength.

For example, some Immortal Artifact can only passively exert their power; in reality, they are far inferior to those at the Tribulation Realm.

Even with billions in resources, our lower-level disciples still need time to grow.

The time it takes them to grow to the Nascent Soul Realm, the Primordial Spirit Realm, the Dao Integration Realm... is far too long!

Although I am currently trying to improve their combat effectiveness, there has not been enough progress in the short term.

In contrast, other sects have abundant resources, perfectly matched experts, and even some cultivators at the Dao Integration Realm and Tribulation Realm whose lifespans have run out. These are the true foundations of High Antiquity sects and pose a real threat.

As for our Azure Cloud Sect, once the Demon Lord is gone, we will immediately be at the mercy of others.

However, there is also a huge grudge between us and the Demon Lord.

We are forced to cooperate with the Demon Lord because we are currently facing a life-or-death threat.

Therefore, I suspect that the Myriad Spirits Sect sent Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone to enhance our sect's foundation, and that was for this very purpose.

Imagine we used Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone to upgrade the sect's grand formation, restoring it to its peak condition. At that point, dealing with the Demon Lord would be much easier for us.

Currently, we are at peace with several sects, which makes it easy for us to clash with the Demon Lord.

If we are foolish enough to think that with the restored Azure Sky Ultimate Cloud Formation, we no longer need the Demon Lord, then we might be completely lost.

At this point, we are very likely to take action against the Demon Lord.

This makes things complicated!

Internally, our disagreements with the Demon Lord will inevitably lead to another great war. The Demon Lord will not only fail to be our ally, but will also destroy our newly recovered strength due to our grudges.

"Without the Demon Lord's deterrent power and our strength greatly diminished, the Nine Great Sects will surely launch another attack and annihilate our Azure Cloud Sect!"

Zhang Yang paused for a moment, then slowly said, "This is the situation I've analyzed. Therefore, my guess is that the Myriad Spirits Sect's purpose in compensating us with Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone is to incite internal strife within our ranks!"

Azure Cloud Master remained silent for a long time without replying.

In reality, he was spacing out somewhere within the formation.

Because, at some point, he had also had such a thought in his mind!

Now that we've forced back nine major sects, have so many resources, and have even enhanced the power of the Azure Sky Ultimate Cloud Formation, shouldn't we seek revenge against the Demon Lord?

Now, after Zhang Yang's analysis, he realized that not only could he not take revenge, but he also had to continue to keep these Demon Lords in check.

After a long silence, Azure Cloud Master finally replied, "Don't worry, things won't get chaotic!"

Zhang Yang laughed and said, "I don't need to worry about Master, because although you hate the Demon Lord, if you weren't enlightened enough, you wouldn't have been able to keep the Azure Cloud Sect alive until today."

As for your other senior uncles, they also respect you very much, and they will definitely believe what you say.

The only problem lies with the Cang Song!

This old fellow was terrified by the Demon Lord a thousand years ago. Once the great formation is upgraded, he will definitely jump out and lead everyone to take action against the Demon Lord.

Although his master could force him to obey, over time, the old man would definitely grow resentful."

Azure Cloud Master frowned as well, feeling that this situation was highly likely to occur.

"Do you have a way to solve this? If not, I'll force him into seclusion!" Azure Cloud Master replied. "Since you're currently forcing him to comprehend the Dao, you can simply put him in the Formation Space and suppress him, forcing him to comprehend the Dao for twenty years!"

Cang Song felt a chill for no apparent reason; he had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.

"There's no need to lock him up for twenty years... Dealing with the old Daoist is actually quite simple, just don't let him have any free time!" Zhang Yang said with a smile. "On the one hand, we need to use Demon Lord to force him to comprehend the Tao, so that he can't rest at all; on the other hand, I might occasionally sow discord between him and the other major sects."

I want the Cang Song to know that there is no true peace in the world!

In addition, I will use the tense situation with the other sects to force those disciples to grow stronger.

In short, over the next twenty years, I will ensure that everyone in the entire sect cultivates diligently under my guidance, leaving them no opportunity to think about anything else.

We need to spend twenty years laying the foundation to be able to contend with the world.

Otherwise, twenty years later, there will be another catastrophe!

"Just do it!" Azure Cloud Master said in a deep voice. "These are things that only you are good at."

Don't worry, although I have grudges against those Demon Lords, I'm not so weak as to lose control.

Because their existence can also help me cultivate!

Zhang Yang laughed happily. What he was most worried about was his master, because this old guy had a thousand-year-old hatred for the Demon Lord!

But he's only at the Tribulation Realm; if we can't explain it, then things will really get complicated.

Now that I've convinced my master, there's no problem.

"In another half month at most, I will be able to complete the modification of the formation!" Azure Cloud Master continued, "Go and tell those Demon Lords that in half a month, they should go to the Formation Space to meet with the Demon Lord!"

"Okay." Zhang Yang nodded. "I also need to take half a month to think carefully about the Future development direction of the Azure Cloud Sect."

After I've finished thinking it over, I'll convene a meeting with the entire Azure Cloud Sect team.

He needs to formulate a five-year plan so that the overall strength of the Azure Cloud Sect can be raised several levels in five years.

May Azure Cloud Sect embark on the grand road where all sects pay homage!
