The Sage Master Visits Azure Cloud
The Sage Master decided to use Zhang Yang's arrogance to toughen up his son. He would use Zhang Yang's thick skin to make his son's thick skin even thicker...
Although Kong Xiuping was extremely unwilling, he still agreed.
One good thing about him is that he is extremely obedient to his father's orders.
"Pack your things, and come with me to the Azure Cloud Sect!" the Sage Master instructed his son.
After Kong Xiuping finished packing, he took Kong Xiuping to the Azure Cloud Sect.
Azure Cloud Master, who had been paying close attention to the Sage Master, naturally discovered Sage Master whereabouts and personally led Zhang Yang to the mountain gate to greet him.
"Greetings, Uncle Azure Cloud Master!" Kong Xiuping stepped forward and bowed.
After being reprimanded by Zhang Yang, he stopped performing grand salutes and simply paid his respects in ordinary greetings.
Azure Cloud Master glanced at Zhang Yang, then took out a Spirit Artifact and gave it to Kong Xiuping.
There was no other way; he had to pay back the debt his apprentice had collected!
Now that the relationship between the two sides is so good, and the Sage Master has personally brought his son to the Azure Cloud Sect, it's no use refusing to give them this Spirit Artifact.
"Greetings, Sage Master Uncle!" Zhang Yang also stepped forward with a smile and bowed to the Sage Master.
The Sage Master glanced at Zhang Yang and said irritably, "Stop looking, I have no gift for you!"
That Dragon-Pointing Brush is Spirit Artifact that I've used for eight hundred years... I was heartbroken about it for a long time!
Azure Cloud Master laughed and invited the Sage Master and his son up the mountain, leading them to the Azure Cloud Great Hall.
Afterwards, Ling Yunzi, Danchenzi, and Hualingzi all came to keep the guests company.
After all, the Sage Master was a distinguished guest, so the Azure Cloud Sect still displayed its grandeur.
After exchanging pleasantries, the Sage Master explained the purpose of his visit to the Azure Cloud Sect.
He began by saying, "Thanks to your help during this Tribulation Transcendence Realm, the Langya Sacred Land would have been in great trouble, and I myself would probably have been in great trouble as well. Your sect has done so much for me and for the Langya Sacred Land, and I have to come here in person to express my gratitude."
Another issue is that this Tribulation Transcendence Realm also exposed many problems.
The first question concerns the historical and cultural heritage of Langya Sacred Land.
At any other time, the profound foundation of the Langya Sacred Land makes it fearless against any sect in the world.
However, the appearance of the Ghost Realm Envoys within Cloud Dream Marsh poses an immense threat to our Langya Sacred Land."
At this point, the Sage Master couldn't help but smile bitterly, and continued, "Those Transcending Tribulation Realm and Dao Integration Realm who had exhausted their lifespans were originally intended to help the sect overcome crises when they arose."
Unexpectedly, they have now become the biggest crisis.
Azure Cloud Master remained silent, somewhat speechless.
He was almost certain that the appearance of the Ghost Realm Envoys in Cloud Dream Marsh was closely related to Zhang Yang and his group opening the Ghost Gate.
Otherwise, why didn't Ghost Realm Envoys appear in Cloud Dream Marsh for so many years, but they appeared after Zhang Yang and his Ghost Realm Envoys opened the Ghost Gate?
The fact that the Ghost Gate was opened must not be known to other sects.
Otherwise, this would probably enrage everyone in the world...
"What does the Sage Master think we should do next?" Azure Cloud Master asked.
The Sage Master sighed and slowly said, "Among the ten super sects in the world, your Azure Cloud Sect originally had the weakest foundation after experiencing a thousand years of changes."
Because all you have left are Law Treasure and Cultivation Method.
All the veteran Dao Integration Realm and Tribulation Realm perished in the upheaval a thousand years ago. Compared to the countless years of accumulation by other sects, their strength is indeed weak.
However, these very circumstances become your greatest advantage when facing the Ghost Realm Envoys.
It's almost certain that no matter what the Ghost Realm Envoys does to other sects, they won't target your Azure Cloud Sect.
With the presence of fellow Devil Race... your Azure Cloud Sect has become the sect with the strongest foundation in the world.
Therefore, my second purpose in visiting you is to request that your Azure Cloud Sect lend us a hand when the Ghost Realm Envoys attack the Langya Sacred Land."
As a Late Tribulation Realm, his direct request for help already demonstrates his utmost sincerity.
Azure Cloud Master's gaze fell on Zhang Yang.
All external affairs are handled with Zhang Yang and decisiveness.
Zhang Yang understood his master's meaning and asked, "Uncle Sage Master, there are other details to this matter. We'll discuss them in more detail later."
Do you have any other questions?
The Sage Master was not surprised by Zhang Yang's decisive actions.
He was well aware that Zhang Yang wielded immense influence within the Azure Cloud Sect.
He nodded and continued, "There's another problem. The reactions from all sides of the world to my Tribulation Transcendence Realm this time are much more intense than I expected."
The abbot even rushed directly onto the Langya Continent, ready to draw his sword against me at any moment.
The conflicts between various sects across the land are escalating.
Among these events, a battle between your Azure Cloud Sect and Myriad Spirits Sect is almost certain.
This unexpected turn of events might occur the day Zhou Xuansheng successfully breaks through to the next level!
Of course, since you have fellow Devil Race on your side, there shouldn't be any other problems.
As for the sects in Cloud Dream Marsh that we face, since they have been threatened by the Ghost Realm Envoys, some of them will inevitably take action against us.
Other sects would never let this opportunity slip by easily.
One-Guard Monastery and Great Snow Mountain have already decided to join forces, and with the Myriad Spirits Sect being close to them, there shouldn't be any other problems on One-Guard Monastery's side.
Our Langya Sacred Land is allied with your Azure Cloud Sect, Sea-Heaven Pavilion, and Heavenly Heart Island, so our Langya Sacred Land will almost certainly not have any major problems.
The situation of the Cloud Firmament Palace is probably not very good.
Not long ago, Cloud Firmament Palace sent people to discuss forming an alliance in the fight against the Ghost Realm Envoys.
There's nothing to discuss about this.
Because when facing the Ghost Realm Envoys, we have no choice but to join forces.
So, the problem arises.
If we are all controlled by the Ghost Realm Envoys of the Ghost Realm Envoys, what about those who are not?
Is it possible that the Sacred Spirit Church, Return to Origin Temple, Myriad Spirits Sect... might take this opportunity to attack Heavenly Heart Island, or even Sea-Heaven Pavilion, to create trouble for us?
Because we are allies, what will Sea-Heaven Pavilion and Heavenly Heart Island think if we don't help?
If these two sects are forced to submit to them due to the immense threat, then we will have two more formidable opponents, and the situation will become even more dire."
Over the years, he has constantly considered the various forces in the world on a chessboard, so naturally he has a lot more to think about.
Faced with the Sage Master's question, Zhang Yang sneered inwardly.
He's already preparing to open Ghost Gate near three sects, so how can Return to Origin Temple, Myriad Spirits Sect, and Sacred Spirit Church still cause trouble?
Therefore, the situation that the Sage Master feared will never occur.
However, it's impossible to tell the Sage Master about opening the Ghost Gate.
He nodded, his expression serious, and said, "My Sage Master uncle's concerns are indeed very reasonable. However, the situation in the world changes rapidly; who knows what new circumstances might arise?"
If someone had told Sage Master, a few years ago, that Ghost Realm Envoys would appear, would you have believed it?
Would you believe someone who tells you that Demon Lord will appear?
Therefore, I still believe that some things can be prepared for, but there's no need to worry too much.
"When a real situation arises, facing it head-on and resolving it realistically is the most important thing."
The Sage Master frowned slightly; he sensed that Zhang Yang didn't seem to take this matter seriously.
Given Zhang Yang's intelligence, it's impossible that he couldn't have foreseen these situations.
Could there be some factors he's unaware of?
