The True Azure Cloud Sect

The decline of the Azure Cloud Sect from a top-tier sect to its current state is all related to the great upheaval a thousand years ago.

Zhang Yang had heard about this from Ling Yunzi, but he didn't know the specifics of the incident.

However, the upheaval that could cause the decline of a top-tier sect must be significant.

Mentioning the great upheaval a thousand years ago, Azure Cloud Master's expression became melancholy. He glanced at Zhang Yang and said, "That great upheaval led to the decline of the Azure Cloud Sect, and even today, it has not been completely resolved."

Your two senior brothers fled the Azure Cloud Sect because they knew about this."

"What exactly happened?" Zhang Yang asked curiously. "But these two senior brothers are really inhuman. They enjoyed the benefits, and then ran away when trouble came."

Azure Cloud Master did not answer, but silently looked at Zhang Yang.

"Master, what exactly is going on? Tell me!" Zhang Yang urged.

He knew very well that since Azure Cloud Master had brought up these matters, there must be something he wanted to tell him.

But why did it stop at the crucial moment?

He glanced at Azure Cloud Master, then suddenly realized, "Master, you're not worried that I'll run away after I find out, are you? Hehe, Master, since we've come this far, if you're not going to tell me, it means the danger is too great. I might as well leave the sect tomorrow!"

"You!" Azure Cloud Master shook his head repeatedly.

He'd been watching Zhang Yang for ten years; how could he not know Zhang Yang's character?

This informal and unpretentious style is what makes Zhang Yang unique, but this approachability is something others can't achieve.

"Since you want to know about the events of a thousand years ago, I will take you to see them, but you must not be frightened!" Azure Cloud Master said calmly.

Zhang Yang smiled slightly, "Master, there aren't many things that can scare me anymore."

He's already died once, so what's there to be afraid of?

Let's go!

As Azure Cloud Master's voice rang out, Zhang Yang felt a blur before his eyes and found himself in another place.

The world was shrouded in a gray haze, like the sky just before dawn.

Looking around, all that could be seen were ruins and rubble, filled with all sorts of inexplicable atmospheres.

"This is the true face of the Azure Cloud Sect!" Azure Cloud Master said, pointing to what was in front of him.

"This is the Azure Cloud Sect?" Zhang Yang asked incredulously.

Azure Cloud Master said with emotion, "The place where we stand is the former Azure Cloud Sect. And those ruins around us are Azure Cloud City from a thousand years ago! It was an enormous city, inhabited by tens of millions of people. After a catastrophe, almost all of those millions perished. The once mighty Azure Cloud City is now nothing but these ruins."

Looking at the endless city ruins before him, Zhang Yang was amazed that such a vast city could be seen in this place.

"Master, what exactly happened a thousand years ago?" Zhang Yang asked.

Azure Cloud Master sighed deeply, "A thousand years ago, the Azure Cloud Sect was a top sect in the entire world, with all sects coming to pay homage."

However, suddenly, a group of powerful beings with unusual Great Dao power appeared out of nowhere. The Great Dao power of these powerful beings was completely different from ours. Their power would pollute our Dao Foundation, and even our bodies and Primordial Spirit. We call them the Devil Race.

After these Devil Race descended, the battle naturally ensued.

The Azure Cloud Sect and the powerful figures remaining in Azure Cloud City launched their attacks, engaging in a fierce battle with the Devil Race forces.

However, because their Great Dao power restrains us, it not only brings us huge casualties, but also shows a tendency to get out of control.

Therefore, the ancestor who was about to ascend a thousand years ago, along with several other ancestral masters at the time, many disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect, and many powerful individuals who stubbornly resisted the Devil Race, set up the Azure Sky Ultimate Cloud Formation, which covers the entire continent, with seven Immortal Artifact as the center and countless Spirit Artifact as the auxiliary.

These seven Immortal Artifacts are now the seven peaks of the Azure Cloud Sect!

Zhang Yang gasped. He knew that the Azure Cloud Sect was very powerful a thousand years ago, but he never expected that the Azure Cloud Sect was so powerful back then.

Immortal Artifact!

Seven pieces in total!

Moreover, one of the current Azure Cloud Seven Peaks is actually the manifestation of those seven Immortal Artifacts.

It turns out he had been sleeping on the Immortal Artifact all along...

"Master, what happened next?" Zhang Yang asked.

Azure Cloud Master gazed into the distance and said with emotion, "Back then, to prevent the Devil Qi from leaking out and escaping to other continents, the founder of the Azure Cloud Sect covered the entire continent with a great formation."

Then, they activated the grand formation to Purification all the Devil Qi on the entire continent. While the Azure Sky Ultimate Cloud Formation Purification the Devil Qi, the power of the formation was also contracting towards the center. In the end, the final power of the formation condensed to a range of three hundred miles, and the power of the many ancestral masters was exhausted.

This area of 300 li is the current territory of the Azure Cloud Sect.

So now you know why the Azure Cloud Sect has a territory spanning three hundred miles, right?

This 300-mile territory is the last space of the Azure Sky Ultimate Cloud Formation.

Many powerful Devil Race are still suppressed in this space, and much Devil Qi has not yet been Purification.

For thousands of years, successive generations of the Azure Cloud Sect have been striving to solve this problem.

Numerous disciples bravely faced danger, risking their lives. On one hand, we were responsible for refining and eliminating the powerful Devil Race within the formation; on the other hand, we could not allow this Devil Qi to escape beyond three hundred miles, otherwise, chaos would surely ensue.

Generation after generation of the Azure Cloud Sect members have devoted their entire lives to this cause. Some perished, their remains found within this secret realm; others left no trace whatsoever...

Your master officially took over the Azure Cloud Sect three hundred years ago, and then began to take charge of this matter.

Later, he took on disciples on behalf of his master, and accepted several of your senior uncles.

The seven peaks of the Azure Cloud Sect are all formed from Immortal Artifact. When they cultivate on the other six peaks, they can also help Purification Devil Qi.

Similarly, Spirit Stone can also help provide the power needed for Immortal Artifact to Purification Devil Qi.

Azure Cloud Master turned to Zhang Yang: "You brat, when your master took over the Azure Cloud Sect three hundred years ago, there were hardly any people left in the sect. Out of necessity, I had to use a large amount of Spirit Stone to Purification the Devil Qi. That's why the Azure Cloud Sect has been so poor all these years."

"How long can the Spirit Stone from the Azure Cloud Sect last?" Zhang Yang asked seriously.

He earned tens of millions of Spirit Stone for the Azure Cloud Sect; that should be enough to hold out for a while, right?

Azure Cloud Master was very pleased. This brat knew about such an important matter, but instead of being shocked or running away, he was thinking about the Spirit Stone.

He chuckled and said, "Last time I asked for a large amount of Spirit Stone, which was used to Purification Devil Qi. With those million Spirit Stone, a year or two shouldn't be a problem, not to mention that the Azure Cloud Sect still has a large amount of Spirit Stone. Zhang Yang, your master hasn't left the Azure Cloud Sect's territory for hundreds of years... Luckily, I have you, otherwise I wouldn't be able to take a single step!"

He had the highest cultivation level, so he had to stay and oversee the Azure Cloud Sect.

"Now, I can walk around for a short time without any problem," Azure Cloud Master said with a smile.

Strictly speaking, he was a pathetic prisoner!

Zhang Yang looked at Azure Cloud Master: "Master, what do you need me to do?"

He was bound to the Azure Cloud Sect for life, and as the next School Leader, he naturally had to consider how to solve the problem.

As for escaping... he couldn't escape when he used the disciples of Langya Sacred Land and Myriad Spirits Sect as bait!
