Heavenly Profound's Visit
Su Mingyang Heavenly Profound Sect returned to the Tianxuan Sect.
As a Primordial Spirit Realm, he was publicly humiliated by Azure Cloud Master, who stepped on his face, which nearly caused his Primordial Spirit to collapse from anger.
However, at that time, Azure Cloud Master made him unable to move at all, and he felt a deep fear in his heart.
His master, Heavenly Profound Daoist, was also at the Dao Integration Realm, so even when facing his master, he didn't feel that sense of powerlessness!
After pondering for a long time, he finally went to pay his respects to the reclusive Heavenly Profound Daoist.
Although Azure Cloud Master's words implied that he knew Heavenly Profound Daoist, they had been master and disciple for hundreds of years, and he had also reached the Primordial Spirit Realm. Presumably, his master would give him an explanation.
If his master could step in and deal with Azure Cloud Master, they could gather a group of Nascent Primordial Spirit Realm and completely annihilate the Azure Cloud Sect.
After listening to Su Mingyang's words, Heavenly Profound Daoist scolded him impatiently, "You are so stupid that I don't know what to say... The Azure Cloud Sect has a history of five thousand years. Even if it has declined now, if it were so easy to deal with, it would have been destroyed long ago. Why would it have waited until now?"
At that moment, he felt both helpless and somewhat annoyed.
Why are my apprentices such a handful?
He was only in seclusion for a while, and yet such a huge thing happened at the Heavenly Profound Sect?
Heavenly Profound Daoist pointed to the ground beneath his feet and looked at Su Mingyang, asking, "Do you know the name of this continent?"
"Azure Cloud Continent!" Su Mingyang understood his master's meaning and hurriedly said, "Master, although Azure Cloud Sect is powerful, that was a thousand years ago. Not long ago, Tong Lu and I went to the Azure Cloud Sect to investigate. Although we didn't see Azure Cloud Master, Ling Yunzi and the others were only at the Nascent Soul Realm."
To put it bluntly, the Azure Cloud Sect has declined to its lowest point.
When we went to the Azure Cloud Sect this time, we discovered that Ling Yunzi and the others had actually reached the Primordial Spirit Realm.
This proves that my initial judgment was correct. Therefore, we must deal with the Azure Cloud Sect now, because it will become increasingly difficult to deal with them in the future.
If we can take over the Azure Cloud Sect, our Heavenly Profound Sect will have enough resources to become a top-tier sect.
I really regret not taking action back then, otherwise we would have already taken over the Azure Cloud Sect.
Heavenly Profound Daoist shook his head with a wry smile, "What are Ling Yunzi and the others? You fools can only see the surface of things. As long as Azure Cloud Master is here, the Azure Cloud Sect will not perish. Don't even mention you young people, even I have to respectfully call him senior."
Furthermore, he didn't just Dao Integration Realm now; he was already at the Dao Integration Realm three hundred years ago.
Even I received his guidance... I don't know where you got the audacity to plot against the Azure Cloud Sect."
"How is this possible?" Su Qingyang looked at Heavenly Profound Daoist in disbelief.
If Azure Cloud Master was already at the Dao Integration Realm three hundred years ago, why is the Azure Cloud Sect still so poor?
Heavenly Profound Daoist sighed, "A great upheaval occurred in their Azure Cloud Sect a thousand years ago. I was born two hundred years too late to know the specifics of what happened. I only know that our continent still exists entirely because of their Azure Cloud Sect. To put it bluntly, all the living beings on our continent owe their Azure Cloud Sect a debt."
You guys, on the contrary, have started plotting against me.
I'm so embarrassed that I'm almost ashamed to face Senior Azure Cloud Master.
"But you've already caused this mess. If I don't go, the problem will only get worse. I'll have no choice but to go to the Azure Cloud Sect myself."
These words made Su Qingyang's face turn red and white in turns.
However, he just couldn't forget the scene of being trampled underfoot by Azure Cloud Master in front of so many cultivators from all over the world.
The resentment in my heart just wouldn't dissipate.
Of course, he had buried this resentment deep in his heart. After all, his master had said so, what else could he do? Even if he wanted revenge, he didn't have enough strength to do so.
Heavenly Profound Daoist sighed as he looked at Su Qingyang. After thinking carefully for a moment, he instructed Su Qingyang, "Go and fetch Zi Yan for me!"
"Yes, Master!" Su Qingyang finally found an excuse to leave.
Zi Yan was his True Disciple, possessing exceptional talent. When she first entered the sect, her talent even astonished Heavenly Profound Daoist. Subsequently, Zi Yan was cultivated as the most core disciple of the Heavenly Profound Sect, with all the Heavenly Profound Sect's resources being tilted towards her. In just a few years, she had already entered the Zi Yan Nascent Soul Realm.
A moment later, a stunningly beautiful woman in a long purple dress appeared before Heavenly Profound Daoist: "Grandmaster, you were looking for me!"
Heavenly Profound Daoist smiled and nodded, "This time I plan to pay a visit to the seniors of the Azure Cloud Sect and show you around."
"Thank you, Grandmaster!" Zi Yan nodded hurriedly.
She never expected that her grandmaster would be willing to take her along on a trip to visit a senior.
She was very puzzled. Wasn't the Azure Cloud Sect about to disappear? What senior figures still existed?
Heavenly Profound Daoist, accompanied by Zi Yan, selected several treasures as gifts before heading to the Azure Cloud Sect.
Although they are on the same continent and only a few thousand miles apart, the distance between them is not far.
Heavenly Profound Daoist stopped in front of the Azure Cloud Sect's gate. Seeing that there was no one to greet him, he had no choice but to call out to the Azure Cloud Sect: "Tian Xuan and his grand-disciple have come to pay a visit to Senior Azure Cloud Master. We humbly request that you grant us an audience!"
Baiyun Zi arrived gracefully, smiling as he said, "We, the entire Azure Cloud Sect, are deeply honored by Senior Tian Xuan's presence. However, our Eldest Senior Brother is currently preoccupied with a very urgent matter. We would be honored if Senior Tian Xuan would accompany me to Azure Cloud Peak for a short visit. Our Eldest Senior Brother will be here to see you soon."
Heavenly Profound Daoist hurriedly returned the greeting. "We have troubled you! Please, fellow Daoist!"
Baiyun Zi, accompanied by Heavenly Profound Daoist and Zi Yan, arrived at Azure Cloud Peak and took them directly to Zhang Yang's villa.
They now realize that, throughout the entire Azure Cloud Sect, it seems that only Zhang Yang's place is suitable for receiving people!
Compared to their Zhang Yang villas, the places they lived in were nothing more than "wooden sheds."
They're fine with hosting ordinary people, but when a distinguished guest comes, their humble abode is truly unacceptable.
Of course, if you are meeting someone formally, you can choose the Azure Cloud Great Hall, but that would seem too formal.
Upon seeing Zhang Yang's small villa, and especially sensing the Talisman inscribed within, Heavenly Profound Daoist couldn't help but praise, "As expected of a senior's residence, it is indeed quite unique."
Baiyun Zi said apologetically, "The rest of us in the Azure Cloud Sect don't care much about our residences. Only my Eldest Senior Brother's disciples are a bit more creative and spend a lot of time on it. Considering that it's rare for you to visit our Azure Cloud Sect, we were afraid of neglecting you, so we invited you here."
Heavenly Profound Daoist laughed heartily, masking his embarrassment, and nodded with a smile, "This lad is quite interesting!"
Baiyun Zi smiled obsequiously and personally accompanied Heavenly Profound Daoist.
Meanwhile, Azure Cloud Master, who was supposedly busy, was quietly waiting for Zhang Yang to begin his cultivation.
Seeing that Zhang Yang had finally finished absorbing the Devil Qi, he hurriedly asked, "How did it go?"
"Master, this feels much better than absorbing Spiritual Qi!" Zhang Yang exclaimed excitedly. "I'll come back after I rest for a few days. I'm a little worried about what will happen after I absorb all this Devil Qi."
Azure Cloud Master glanced at Zhang Yang, wondering to himself, "Is this Chaos Golden Core really that monstrous?"
"Let's go, we have guests. Let's go see them first." Azure Cloud Master appeared on Azure Cloud Peak with Zhang Yang.
