The Demon Race Wept

The foundation of the Azure Cloud Sect was greatly enhanced by the trip to the Demon Race.

Although Azure Cloud Master and the others were speechless, they still took the things they needed most.

"My fellow martial uncles, apart from Third Uncle-Master refining pills, I'm afraid I'll need you to make a trip," Zhang Yang said solemnly. "In about six months, our first five-year plan will come to an end."

We need to summarize how well this first five-year plan has been implemented by all parties.

In addition, we will next formulate the second five-year plan.

Therefore, I would like to trouble my fellow disciples to travel to the Cloud Mountain Empire, the Cloud Soaring Empire, and the Northern Sect Alliance respectively.

I separately contacted Zhang Changshan, Wang Baole, Liang Yi, and Situ Mingyue, and after they compiled a list of their respective responsibilities, they wrote a report and handed it to me.

This matter may require several trips, so I would appreciate your help, fellow disciples.

In Azure Cloud City, I will personally go to communicate with Junior Brother Jiang.

I have to take charge of various aspects of Azure Cloud City and don't have time to travel to different places, so I can only trouble my senior uncles.

Furthermore, notify them all that they must gather at the sect for a meeting six months from now to discuss the next five-year plan.

"No problem!" Ling Yunzi and the others nodded in agreement.

Besides practicing cultivation, they preached the Way.

They didn't understand these sect affairs; it was just a matter of sending messages, and it wouldn't take them much time.

Subsequently, Ling Yunzi, Danchenzi, and the others left one after another.

"I'm a little curious, what is your gift?" Azure Cloud Master looked at Zhang Yang strangely.

Their gifts are so valuable; given Zhang Yang and Hu Dali's relationship, it's impossible they would have sent them to a poor person.

Zhang Yang said with a smile, "I told Hu Dali that I like precious materials and all kinds of rare ores, and then he gave me dozens of ores and materials!"

Zhang Yang took out several pieces of ore, and upon sensing the Great Dao Principle on them, even Azure Cloud Master couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

He felt he'd better break through to the Late Tribulation Transcendence Realm as soon as possible, otherwise they wouldn't be able to withstand the attack from the Demon Race one day!

Did they empty the Demon Race's treasure trove?

"If the Great Dao Principle of these ores and materials are refined by the Immortal-Refining Cauldron, the Immortal-Refining Cauldron should be able to fully recover," Zhang Yang said solemnly. "In addition, Master, I have found a way to quickly upgrade the Dao Robe of my Nascent Soul."

"I can easily have the Immortal-Refining Cauldron refine other Great Dao powers to repair my Dao Robe!"

Azure Cloud Master nodded slightly. "That's not a bad idea!"

It's certainly a shortcut, but as long as it allows us to harness the Power of the Great Dao, who can say it's not a good method?

"In addition, I have prepared the best gift for you, Master!" Zhang Yang solemnly took out the Immortal Immortal-Refining Cauldron and showed it to Azure Cloud Master the Merit inside. "I heard from those Demon Lords that these Merit are only bestowed after one has made great contributions to the world!"

These Merit are a gift from Heaven and Earth.

It can be used for breakthroughs, enlightenment, and comprehending Cultivation Method, etc.

I intend to give these Merit to my master so that he can break through to the Mid Tribulation Realm.

Only when Master breaks through to the Mid Tribulation Realm will our Azure Cloud Sect truly have a powerful trump card and the right to speak on equal terms with countless other sects."

The Azure Cloud Sect still relies on the intimidation of the Demon Lord.

When the Demon Lord is gone, the deterrent effect naturally disappears as well.

The Azure Cloud Sect and Demon Lord are absolutely incompatible. Demon Lord and the Immortal Cultivation Realm are also incompatible.

These Demon Lord will disappear sooner or later.

Therefore, this is why countless sects in the world still do not attach much importance to the Azure Cloud Sect.

Azure Cloud Master took a deep breath, stared at the Merit, and asked, "I know about Merit. The founder of the Azure Cloud Sect received a copy when he became True Immortal Realm!"

Therefore, the patriarch left behind records that spoke of Merit.

What exactly did you do, and why did you receive Merit?

This was what he was most curious about.

He's Demon Suppression for so many years, how come he hasn't gained Merit?

The Sage Master Enlightenment for so many years, yet he has never received Merit.

Therefore, when Zhang Yang performed a Merit, Azure Cloud Master was more surprised than delighted.

How did you do that?

Zhang Yang chuckled and said, "Master, we opened the Ghost Gate, released the Ghost Realm Envoys, and upheld the Reincarnation Authority. Therefore, Heaven and Earth rewarded us with Merit!"

Azure Cloud Master was speechless upon hearing this.

Opening the Ghost Gate, releasing the Ghost Realm Envoys, causing havoc on other sects, and then there's supposed to be merit?

What's the logic behind this?

This matter left Azure Cloud Master bewildered for a moment before he came to his senses and said with deep emotion, "I don't even know what to say!"

This disciple has brought the nearly extinct Azure Cloud Sect to its current height and is even pushing him forward on the path to becoming a true Immortal Dao... As his master, he feels somewhat ashamed!

"Haha!" Zhang Yang said with a laugh, "Master, only when you are strong can you protect us all. Otherwise, with our low cultivation levels, we probably wouldn't be able to survive in this chaotic world!"

I'm counting on you to become someone like the Ghost Sovereign Realm or the Immortal Emperor, to protect me!

Therefore, helping you break through is the most important thing.

"If Master refuses again, it would be too pretentious!" Azure Cloud Master shook his head. "I will accept this generous gift!"

With this Merit and this stone, I can truly begin preparing for the Mid Tribulation Transcendence Realm."

Although he had been forced to keep moving towards the Mid Tribulation Transcendence Realm, he knew that his foundation was insufficient to break through.

Because the Demon-Suppressing Great Dao cannot be broken through.

Now, he's confident!

After a pause, Azure Cloud Master continued, "There's just one thing... I'm afraid that 'secret realm' won't be able to be maintained!"

"Huh?" Zhang Yang was taken aback and quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

Azure Cloud Master said somewhat helplessly, "Actually, I've explained it to you before. That secret realm was made from my Law Treasure. Although it doesn't fit my Demon-Suppressing Great Dao, it's only because it's too weak. Now that I have this heavy stone, I plan to Smelting into that painting. Maybe then it will fit my Demon-Suppressing Great Dao."

That "secret realm" can actually be considered his Natal Artifact!

However, it didn't fit with the Dao Domain he was pursuing, so he had to give up.

However, the materials Zhang Yang brought back can change the nature of the secret realm.

Zhang Yang laughed and said, "I thought it was something serious... Since it's a fake secret realm, there's not much need to preserve it. It'll just become a training ground for the sect's disciples!"

It's actually a good thing that Master can make good use of this.

Oh, right... we can't let those Rainbow Fish go to waste. Why don't you find a place to put them?

This is also the foundation of our Azure Cloud Sect, and it must be preserved."

"Of course!" Azure Cloud Master nodded. "Come, follow me to refine that Law Treasure. Perhaps it will bring you some enlightenment!"
