Cultivators' Summary Reports
At the entrance of the Azure Cloud Sect, the Azure Cloud Sect members were extremely excited to see Azure Cloud Master personally take action and crush a Primordial Spirit Realm with a single move.
In fact, even Ling Yunzi and the others were somewhat excited.
"Eldest Senior Brother hasn't made a move in decades, and his skill has only grown stronger," Baiyun Zi chuckled.
Biling Zi glanced at Baiyun Zi, her eyes also showing admiration.
That's their Eldest Senior Brother!
Still as charming as ever!
"Master is amazing!" Situ Mingyue said excitedly to Zhang Yang.
The last time Azure Cloud Master made a move from afar, he was facing the Flying Dragon Army. Although the Flying Dragon Army had a large number of soldiers, each of them was at the Foundation Establishment Realm.
This time, however, he was facing Primordial Spirit Realm.
A Primordial Spirit Realm, already a founding figure of a second-rate sect, was trampled underfoot by her master without uttering a sound.
Even Zhang Yang was delighted; he truly hadn't expected this old guy, who looked like a young man, to act so decisively.
He directly stomped on the face of the Primordial Spirit Realm... When will he ever have such power?
In contrast, the Foundation Establishment Disciple were not shocked because they didn't have much of a feeling about the Primordial Spirit Realm.
Of course, they were still very excited because they saw their School Leader beat the experts from other sects so badly that they couldn't even fight back.
"Alright, let's go back to the mountain!" Ling Yunzi looked at everyone with a smile. "The matter of opening the secret realm is over. Now everyone should focus on cultivation."
"Wait a minute!" Zhang Yang called out, "I have something to tell everyone while we have this opportunity."
The group, who were about to set off, stopped in their tracks.
"I'll leave the senior uncles alone, but everyone else needs to thoroughly summarize this operation," Zhang Yang said seriously. "All junior brothers and sisters who entered the secret realm, write a summary report for me based on your experiences during this trip."
Ideological education must continue!
"Should we write it too?" Situ Mingyue and Jiang Zhiqiu looked at each other in surprise.
The summary report... They had never heard of cultivating Immortal Cultivation involving this kind of thing!
"Write!" Zhang Yang said seriously, "Junior Brother Jiang, as the mayor of Azure Cloud Town, you have many responsibilities. You have also personally witnessed various sects coming to Azure Cloud Town and being chased in the secret realm. Therefore, I believe you must have many feelings."
Mingyue, don't you feel anything?
So many people from the Langya Sacred Land attacked you, how did you feel? Shouldn't you have reflected on all these events?
And what about the other Foundation Establishment Realm junior brothers and sisters? Don't you feel how other sects treat us?
Even if you didn't enter the secret realm, you still saw how the other sects bullied us, right?
Why did they remain silent after the School Leader made his move?
Can't these things offer you some inspiration?
Therefore, everyone must write!
Seven days later, submit your summary report to me. Those who complete the task will receive bonus points in the sect's merits. Future benefits will also be given to you as soon as possible. Those who fail to complete the task will have points deducted.
Those with low scores shouldn't complain if they don't get any benefits in the future, because it's because they're not trying hard enough!
Alright, now hurry back to the mountain gate and complete your mission."
The Foundation Establishment Disciple all went up the mountain.
They had been under Zhang Yang's tutelage for more than half a year, and they had gotten used to their Eldest Senior Brother suddenly giving them tasks.
On the contrary, Situ Mingyue and Jiang Zhiqiu were very uncomfortable.
However, Situ Mingyue had at least written a report before, so she had some experience.
Jiang Zhiqiu had never succeeded even once; he was completely bewildered!
However, during this trip to the secret realm, they also witnessed another side of this Eldest Senior Brother developed a great deal of respect for him.
Now that their Eldest Senior Brother had assigned them the task, they set off to complete it with strange feelings.
After Zhang Yang finished arranging things for everyone, he was about to pull his several senior uncles to distribute the fish soup when Azure Cloud Master's voice rang out. "You brat, come here!"
"Master, you're here!" Zhang Yang went to Azure Cloud Master's place.
Upon seeing Azure Cloud Master, Zhang Yang immediately took out the Rainbow Fish: "Here, Master, have some! I saved a portion for the other martial uncles! It's a pity we didn't catch any in the end, otherwise there would have been even more."
Azure Cloud Master chuckled, "You certainly have a filial heart!"
He put the Spirit Lake into the secret realm; how could he not know about the Rainbow Fish?
However, he was no longer someone who craved such gluttony; these things were all left for the younger generation of the Azure Cloud Sect.
To his satisfaction, Zhang Yang, having received a benefit, actually left it for them.
This apprentice is so thoughtful!
He couldn't help but think of his two previous apprentices and sighed inwardly, "The differences between people are truly vast."
"Master, what are you saying? You've all been so good to me, so it's only right that I respect you!" Zhang Yang chuckled. Influenced by the culture of another time and space, he was still very respectful to his elders.
Of course, several elders also treated him very well.
Azure Cloud Master, who didn't need to eat, took the fish soup Zhang Yang handed him, drank it, and then asked, "Have you finally made the Immortal-Refining Cauldron recognize you as its master?"
Zhang Yang chuckled, "Although this senior is stubborn, he still takes good care of me when I'm in danger, so I've chosen him as my master."
"You!" Azure Cloud Master shook his head helplessly.
Zhang Yang stole all of their Spirit Artifact.
However, since Spirit Artifact possess spirits, they naturally require the recognition of the artifact spirit in order to recognize a master.
With Zhang Yang's limited strength, it's impossible for him to subdue the artifact spirit.
However, this kid took a different path; he actually pestered those Spirit Artifact every day, tirelessly communicating with their spirits.
Azure Cloud Master and the others had all witnessed these actions.
They originally thought Zhang Yang would give up soon, but they didn't expect him to persist for more than ten years.
After ten years of persistent effort, this kid actually managed to persuade many Spirit Artifacts to recognize him as their master.
This kind of endurance and unwavering Dao Heart left Azure Cloud Master and the others speechless with amazement.
Think about it carefully, who can patiently talk to an "inanimate object" for ten years without getting tired of it?
Zhang Yang's Dao Heart alone earned him the recognition of Azure Cloud Master and the others, which is why they didn't care about Zhang Yang Azure Cloud Master the Spirit Artifact.
"The Immortal-Refining Cauldron was the natal Spirit Artifact of an ancestor seventeen hundred years ago. He almost ascended to the Immortal Realm back then," Azure Cloud Master reminded Zhang Yang. "At that time, that ancestor had great ambition and intended to evolve this Spirit Artifact into Immortal Artifact, but unfortunately, he ultimately failed."
Over the past thousand years, very few people have recognized the Immortal-Refining Cauldron as their master.
His decision to acknowledge you as his master is both a sign of his love and his high regard for you; do not betray him!
Zhang Yang's eyes lit up, and he laughed heartily, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely not let it down. In the future, I will evolve it into Immortal Artifact, making it truly deserving of its name and a real Immortal-Refining Cauldron!"
The Immortal-Refining Cauldron on Zhang Yang's body sensed Zhang Yang's thoughts, trembled slightly, and then returned to calm.
Azure Cloud Master nodded slightly, and after a moment, asked, "What are your thoughts on this trip to the secret realm?"
Zhang Yang was stunned. He was still asking others to submit their summary reports; he never expected that he would have to submit one too.
What a fitting end!
