The Ancestor Descends
The Azure Cloud Sect also welcomed True Immortal Realm, and not just one, but True Immortal Realm, who brought fifteen young people from the Immortal Realm with them.
One of the True Immortal Realm was Miao Yun, the founder of the Azure Cloud Sect who ascended to the Immortal Realm 1,500 years ago. The other True Immortal Realm was unknown to anyone and was probably a person from the Immortal Realm.
The Immortal Realm were invited to sit in the Azure Cloud Great Hall. Azure Cloud Master and Miao Yun sat in the main seats, while Ling Yunzi, Cang Song, and others accompanied them.
The other True Immortal Realm, though not seated in the main seat, was placed at the head of the guest seats, which was a reasonable arrangement. As for the other young people, they were naturally assigned to any available seats.
"Ancestor Miao Yun, why are you only arriving now?"
No sooner had everyone sat down than Zhang Yang let out a loud wail before Miao Yun could even speak.
This sudden, dry howl left everyone in the Immortal Realm completely bewildered.
What's going on?
The other members of the Azure Cloud Sect felt a jolt of fear; they knew that Zhang Yang was at it again.
"Our Azure Cloud Sect is in such a terrible state!" Zhang Yang could only wail without shedding a tear. "We almost perished!"
"What happened?" Miao Yun asked hurriedly.
How could the once-thriving Azure Cloud Sect be on the verge of destruction?
The once mighty Azure Cloud Sect is actually going to perish?
Zhang Yang wiped his eyes and asked, "Grandmaster, you are the tenth generation sect School Leader of the Azure Cloud Sect, ascending to heaven 1,500 years ago. My master, Azure Cloud Master, is the current sect School Leader. May I ask, what generation School Leader do you think my master should be?"
Um?
Miao Yun was confused.
This...
"My master is the thirty-sixth generation School Leader!" Zhang Yang said heavily. "In a thousand years, my Azure Cloud Sect has gone through more than twenty generations, averaging less than fifty years per generation. None of the sect School Leader of each generation have had a good end; they were all forced to their deaths. Our Azure Cloud Sect has suffered terribly!"
"What?" Miao Yun almost jumped up.
How could the Azure Cloud Sect have suffered so much in the past thousand years?
He turned to look at Azure Cloud Master, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Azure Cloud Master's toes clenched tightly, his face twitching uncontrollably; he truly didn't know what to say.
Although what Zhang Yang said was indeed true, this bastard was being too sentimental... Besides, Azure Cloud Master had been watching Zhang Yang for so many years, how could he not know that when he did this, he was just stirring up trouble?
This is terrible! We've lost face even in the Immortal Realm!
The thought of that scene made him shudder involuntarily.
However, in Miao Yun's eyes... wasn't this a past too painful to recall? Wasn't this a sorrow too overwhelming to bear mentioning?
His expression darkened, and he was filled with barely suppressed killing intent. He said to Zhang Yang, "Tell me in detail what exactly happened?"
Zhang Yang began by recounting the changes over the past millennium, and then recounted the tragic events that befell the Azure Cloud Sect over the past thousand years.
His narration was vivid and engaging.
When he spoke of his grief and indignation, he stamped his feet and beat his chest, filled with righteous indignation; when he spoke of the Azure Cloud Sect's resistance against other sects, he was impassioned and his spirit soared; when he spoke of the hardships of suppressing the Demon Suppression, he was saddened and speechless...
Miao Yun listened with a mixture of rage, relief, and deep emotion.
Not to mention Miao Yun, even the other True Immortal Realm who arrived from the Immortal Realm shook his head repeatedly, deeply moved by the past thousand years of history of the Azure Cloud Sect.
Among the fifteen young people from the Immortal Cultivation Realm, several women were moved to tears, feeling sympathy for the past history of the Azure Cloud Sect. Even the other young men sighed repeatedly.
Only the Azure Cloud Seven Sons were restless, wishing they could disappear into a crack in the ground.
Even Cang Song, an "outsider," was speechless, staring at the sky.
It took Zhang Yang an hour to finish "popularizing" the history of the Azure Cloud Sect's arduous struggle against the Demon Lord and the Nine Great Sects to the people of the Immortal Realm.
"Ancestor Miao Yun, you can't believe it! When our Azure Cloud Sect was at its poorest, we only had 103 Spirit Stone!" Zhang Yang angrily clenched his fist. "A dignified High Antiquity sect with only 103 Spirit Stone? This is a disgrace!"
This is further evidence of the persecution we have suffered by the Nine Great Sects!
An Immortal Cultivation cultivator almost starved to death! I have never seen such a situation before, nor have I ever heard of such a state of affairs!
I don't know what you think, my ancestor; I don't know what the ancestral masters in the Immortal Realm think; I don't know what those ancestral masters who have returned to the Underworld think. Personally, I absolutely cannot accept this situation!
"Bang bang bang!"
Miao Yun slammed his fist on the table with a deafening roar, his entire body radiating murderous intent. "This is outrageous! These nine sects are going too far! If I don't demand an explanation from them, I'll be ashamed to be a human being!"
"Even though Master and my uncles were suppressing the Demon Suppression, several major sects still wouldn't let us go. They actually kidnapped my two senior brothers and stole our precious Immortal Immortal-Refining Cauldron and Soul-Suppressing Banner. Master and the others are afraid to recruit any more disciples, so they're still spies and don't even dare to take on any new disciples. The Azure Cloud Sect almost went extinct!"
Our Azure Cloud Sect is in such a terrible state!
Later, after I reformed the Azure Cloud Sect, I managed to recruit some disciples.
However, we don't even have the resources to train disciples. To this day, we don't even have many disciples who can refine pills!
Danchenzi remained expressionless. "Yes, yes, there aren't many alchemy disciples. He doesn't count as a disciple!"
Other common pills are refined by other sects; they don't need to bother with that...
"We also lack refining materials, and many disciples don't even know how to refine weapons. Many disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect can't even afford Law Treasure!" Zhang Yang continued.
Huolingzi looked up at the sky and said, "Yes, yes, those disciples who haven't even reached the Foundation Establishment really can't afford Law Treasure, because they don't need to!"
As for the core disciples, it's one thing that each of them has a gun, but they also all possess at least two Law Treasure...
But Miao Yun was unaware of these circumstances!
"Alas, you've suffered so much!" Miao Yun sighed. "I have some pills and Spirit Stone here; take them to develop your sect!"
He took out his Spatial Ring, handed it to Zhang Yang, and said, "Don't worry, I'll go find those nine major sects right away and demand an explanation!"
The other True Immortal Realm paused for a moment, then took out several bottles of pills and said, "I really don't have any low-grade pills. These are all pills that can be used by those at the Dao Integration Realm and above. I hope they can help your Azure Cloud Sect. I also have 200,000 Upper-grade Spirit Stone, which should alleviate the situation of the Azure Cloud Sect somewhat."
"Uncle Lü, I have many low-grade pills here, all of which are useful for the Nascent Soul Realm and Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators." A woman stepped forward and offered thirty or forty bottles of pills. "I don't lack Spirit Stone either, so I'll give them to the Azure Cloud Sect as well!"
She gave over ten thousand Upper-grade Spirit Stone, which shows that she is quite wealthy.
Other young people also generously donated money, offering pills and Spirit Stone.
Because... the Azure Cloud Sect is in such a terrible state!
The Azure Cloud Seven Sons blushed.
This is begging, right?
With a fortune of hundreds of billions, they still have to beg from the Immortal Realm... How will others view the Azure Cloud Sect in the future?
It's all over! The Azure Cloud Sect has completely lost face in the Immortal Realm!
But looking at those bottles of pills, even elixirs of immortality...
This...
