Three Major Developments
Fifty-five years ago, a major event occurred.
Two True Disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect, Nangong Qiyu and Zheng Qianqiu, betrayed the Azure Cloud Sect and joined the Langya Sacred Land and the Myriad Spirits Sect respectively.
When these two disciples defected, they also took with them the Soul-Suppressing Banner and the Thousand-Mountain Seal, Azure Cloud Sect's most treasured artifacts.
This was very exciting news for the top sects that had been meticulously plotting against the Azure Cloud Sect at the time.
Because after dealing with the Azure Cloud Sect for so many years, they finally got a good deal!
Both the Soul-Suppressing Banner and the Thousand-Mountain Seal were almost Immortal Artifact.
Once Nangong Qiyu and Zheng Qianqiu reach a sufficiently high level of cultivation, and are nurtured with high-grade materials, both treasures may evolve into Immortal Artifact.
This represents an immense boost to the foundation of both the Langya Sacred Land and the Myriad Spirits Sect.
After this incident, many sects began to have designs on it.
The Azure Cloud Sect has no disciples left, so it needs to recruit more, right?
If they secretly send a few geniuses to join the Azure Cloud Sect, and these disciples grow up, wouldn't they be able to dismantle the Azure Cloud Sect?
Even if we can't destroy the Azure Cloud Sect, can't we at least take away their unique Azure Cloud Sect Cultivation Method, or even a few valuable treasures?
Even if I can't take away many valuable treasures, taking away a few Spirit Artifact would be fine!
Therefore, when the Azure Cloud Sect was about to open its gates, they would send several geniuses to the gates of the Azure Cloud Sect to await the Azure Cloud Sect's selection!
Faced with this situation, how could the Azure Cloud Sect dare to accept disciples?
For the next forty years, the Azure Cloud Sect dared not accept a single disciple, because they didn't know whether the people they took in were human or ghosts.
As a result, the Azure Cloud Sect was trapped in a state of distress.
During those decades, Azure Cloud Master was actually in a state of utter despair.
The Demon Lord cannot be dealt with, the sect's resources are exhausted, and they dare not even take on disciples... If this continues, the sect will surely perish!
However, Azure Cloud Master could not find any way out.
The other members of the Azure Cloud Sect also had no way out.
Forty years later, when the Azure Cloud Sect reopened its gates, Azure Cloud Master once again refused to accept disciples and presented many difficult challenges to eliminate all the disciples who participated in the assessment.
But this time, a freak appeared!
No matter what difficult problem Azure Cloud Master posed, this freak always solved it.
But that kid, despite his young age, is incredibly talkative!
Azure Cloud Master was at a loss, and had no choice but to eliminate all the others and take this kid as his disciple.
This freak is just Zhang Yang!
Although Azure Cloud Master accepted Zhang Yang as his disciple, he didn't really manage him, and even remained wary of Zhang Yang.
Unfortunately, this boy was very filial and didn't usually do anything unusual, leaving Azure Cloud Master completely baffled.
Could this kid really be here to become an apprentice?
Could this kid be unrelated to any other sect?
After observing Zhang Yang for several years and finding no other unusual activity from Zhang Yang, he finally lowered his guard.
Ten years later, the Azure Cloud Sect opened its gates once again.
As a result, this oddball recruited eighty-seven disciples for the Azure Cloud Sect!
Azure Cloud Master almost broke down at that moment.
It's one thing to not be able to afford to support them, but the key issue is that he's certain many of these eighty-seven disciples are spies sent by other major sects!
Unfortunately, all these disciples had already been accepted into the sect.
Subsequently, he watched as Zhang Yang carried out ideological education and reforms, completely transforming the Azure Cloud Sect.
Only then was Azure Cloud Master completely at ease, leaving all the problems to Zhang Yang to handle.
He also wanted to see what kind of mess Zhang Yang would ultimately make.
At this time, there were three huge camps around the Azure Cloud Sect, belonging to Wang Baole's Red-Clad Army, Zhang Changshan's Blue-Clad Army, and Liang Yi's Yellow-Clad Army.
In the three camps, no one was cultivating; instead, they were studying the history of the Azure Cloud Sect and learning the "Elder Brother's Sayings"!
"Today, we will learn the thirty-sixth chapter of the Azure Cloud Sect History: The Descent of the Demonic Calamity!"
A thousand years ago, the world changed dramatically. Countless Demon Lord from Otherworld suddenly broke through the sky and descended upon the Azure Cloud Continent, bringing calamity upon it...
After half an hour of study, the discussion began.
"Senior Brother Zhang, may I ask what kind of Demon Lord they are? Why are they coming to invade our Azure Cloud Sect?" a Foundation Establishment Disciple asked.
Zhang Changshan said with a serious expression, "I don't know why these Demon Lord want to invade us."
However, as our Eldest Senior Brother said, we must dare to eliminate all invading enemies and protect our Azure Cloud Sect.
This is our home. Anyone who dares to destroy our home will be dealt with by any means necessary.
What do you think we should do if someone destroys our home?
"Kill them!" everyone shouted in unison.
"Yes, that's exactly right!" Zhang Changshan nodded in satisfaction, then added, "As for what the Demon Lord looks like... when the opportunity arises, everyone will be able to see the Demon Lord."
"When the time is right, the Eldest Senior Brother will make arrangements for this matter."
"Our Eldest Senior Brother said that when faced with an insurmountable enemy, we must do everything in our power to unite all forces that can be united to defeat them." Liang Yi earnestly explained to everyone in the Yellow-Clad Army. "Does everyone remember?"
Back in the north, we were unable to resist the powerful Profound Wind Sect.
They didn't even back down because we were from the Azure Cloud Sect; they wanted to attack us.
At that time, I deeply understood my Eldest Senior Brother's words and united the Qishan Sect, which at the time also harbored ill will towards us.
We joined forces with the Qishan Sect to fight against the Profound Wind Sect, and ultimately successfully annihilated the Profound Wind Sect.
Then, we waited until the Qishan Sect's strength was greatly weakened before turning around to suppress Qishan Sect... In the end, we won!
Not only did they successfully seize the resources of two sects, but they also greatly improved everyone's strength.
Therefore, in our spare time from cultivation, we must carefully understand and ponder the words of our Eldest Senior Brother. These words can enlighten us. On our path of cultivation, we cannot do without the guidance of our Eldest Senior Brother!
"Our Azure Cloud Sect's suppression of the Demon Lord has been a great achievement for the world."
However, the Nine Great Sects were shameless and took advantage of the situation to plunder!
They disregarded the Demon Lord's threats and brazenly attacked my Azure Cloud Sect, causing widespread suffering and death.
In the northwest direction of the Azure Cloud Sect, due to the attack of that old beast Zhou Xuansheng, a thousand miles of territory have been reduced to scorched earth.
We must remember this hatred deeply.
We must strive to cultivate ourselves and remain vigilant against any intrusion from others.
I don't want the day to come when our loved ones turn to dust and our hometown becomes scorched earth.
If you can't even protect your own parents and your dao companion are killed, what kind of immortals are you cultivating?
They don't even deserve to be called human!
Wang Baole, with a fierce expression, was lecturing the Red-Clad Army soldiers.
The three of them deeply understood Zhang Yang's meaning and are now working on ideological building among the entire team.
Then, they discussed assigning the tasks they had to some of their more talented disciples.
The three camps and Three Major Developments are in full swing.
Everyone remained silent about the fact that the Azure Cloud Sect forced the Nine Great Sects to pay 60 billion in compensation. Instead, they seized upon various forms of hatred and relentlessly instilled this sentiment in the public.
In short, we cannot afford to be taken advantage of.
If you've been wronged... then you must seek revenge and redeem yourself!
Meanwhile, some sneaky Nascent Primordial Spirit Realm gradually made their way to the Azure Cloud Sect.
This group of the Primordial Spirit Realm appeared to be paying homage to the Azure Cloud Sect, but their true intentions were known only to themselves.
