How Strong Was It?
The place where they hid was absolutely secluded; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to hide for thousands of years without anyone finding them.
What's the purpose of such a secluded place?
Was it intended as a final refuge? Or was it used to store something important?
For example... what kind of backup plan did Tang San leave behind?
How many Titled Douluo and Super Douluo does the Clear Sky Sect actually have now? Nobody knows.
However, conservatively speaking, there are at least a dozen Titled Douluo, at least five Super Douluo, and probably two Ultimate Douluo.
After all, the current Grand Master and Second Grand Master, the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, are so powerful that even Ultimate Douluo is no match for them.
Their strength should be above that of God Official, that is, a Ultimate Douluo, but below that of a true god.
Therefore, it's actually normal that they don't have Ultimate Douluo.
Of course, if we include these two, then the Clear Sky Sect would truly be the number one power on Douluo Star, even surpassing Shrek Academy and the Sun Moon Empire, so we can't calculate it that way.
Aside from the strength of these two God Official-level, the Clear Sky Sect itself has actually been developing quite steadily.
After all, with ten thousand years of accumulation, no matter how extravagant one is, it's impossible to squander all the Titled Douluo.
What are all these powerful figures waiting for, hiding in hiding?
They were waiting for a signal, a signal that would bring them back into the game.
And this signal could very well be Huo Yuhao.
When Huo Yuhao grows to a certain level, and when he encounters an insurmountable obstacle, the Clear Sky Sect should step in.
The way he appears is also easy to guess: either Huo Yuhao is besieged by powerful enemies and his life hangs by a thread, and then a powerful figure from the Clear Sky Sect descends from the sky.
He smashed the enemy away with a single blow, then coolly said, "Yuhao, don't panic, we're late."
Either the Tang Sect faces a crisis of annihilation and can't withstand it, then the Clear Sky Sect appears, turns the tide, and tells everyone, "Actually, we are all one family."
Make it as dramatic as possible, and as pretentious as possible.
There's nothing that can be done; that's just Tang San's style.
Besides these foreshadowing elements, the Clear Sky Sect will definitely have an even more important role in the later stages of the Peerless Tang Clan Sect.
For example, fighting against the Holy Spirit Cult? For example, fighting against the Sun Moon Empire? For example, helping Huo Yuhao become a god?
After all, it's a trump card left behind by Tang San, so why not use it?
Moreover, after the Clear Sky Sect makes its comeback, it will definitely merge with the Tang Sect, or rather, the Tang Sect will return to the Clear Sky Sect's original home.
When the two major sects merge into one, and with Shrek's support, their power will be immense.
Unifying the entire Soul Master World of the continent is not a problem.
Of course, that's a story for another time.
At least for now, the Clear Sky Sect is still hiding, still in hiding, still waiting for the right opportunity.
They were like a group of hunters lurking in the shadows, patiently waiting for their prey to appear.
And the prey was Huo Yuhao.
No, it should be said that Huo Yuhao was the bait.
What the Clear Sky Sect wants to lure are those forces that oppose Tang San.
For example, the Holy Spirit Cult, and the Sun Moon Empire.
Once all these forces have emerged and bared their fangs, the Clear Sky Sect will deliver a final blow and wipe them all out.
A perfect plan.
I just don't know if plans can keep up with changes.
Whether Tang San can finish this game of chess according to his plan is really hard to say.
The Far North.
Snow Empress stood there quietly, gazing at the distant horizon, without uttering a word.
Clear Sky Sect...
She has lived for hundreds of thousands of years and has witnessed the rise and fall of countless sects. There are very few sects like the Clear Sky Sect that can survive for ten thousand years.
"Tang San is quite the schemer."
The Snow Empress spoke slowly, her voice as cold as ice. "She hid the Clear Sky Sect for ten thousand years, just to deliver a fatal blow to her opponent at the crucial moment."
This patience, this forbearance, is truly terrifying.
Ice Empress scoffed, "I think they're just cowards. They don't dare to come out and fight; they just hide behind and shoot arrows from behind."
Snow Empress shook her head.
"It's not cowardice, it's strategy."
On the surface, the Tang Sect draws the fire, while in secret, the Clear Sky Sect accumulates its strength, working together in a coordinated manner.
Once the situation becomes clear, the Clear Sky Sect can then reap the rewards and easily take control of the overall situation.
This strategy is undeniably brilliant.
"Only..."
Snow Empress changed the subject, her eyes darkening slightly. "No matter how good the plan is, it can't keep up with changes."
Tang San had calculated everything, but he hadn't foreseen Lin Ye's existence, nor the existence of the Diary Copy.
Now that Tang San's key accomplices have learned the truth, things can no longer develop in the direction he planned.
No one can say for sure where this game will end.
Snow Empress withdrew her gaze and looked towards the depths of the Far North.
Let's talk about the foundation and reputation of the Clear Sky Sect.
The Clear Sky Sect's signature weapon is the Clear Sky Hammer, a top-tier Weapon Martial Soul, known as the "Number One Weapon Martial Soul in the World." It possesses immense power and astonishing explosive force; a single strike can cause mountains to crumble and the earth to split.
Besides the Clear Sky Hammer itself, the Clear Sky Sect also has several complementary ultimate techniques.
The first one is the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer.
This technique is simple to describe: it involves striking one blow after another, each blow heavier and faster than the last, up to a maximum of 81 blows, with the final blow's power reaching a terrifying level.
Tang Hao used this very move back then, smashing Qian Xunji that he couldn't take care of himself.
Tang San was even more ruthless, mastering the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer to its extreme. With eighty-one consecutive strikes, even Titled Douluo couldn't withstand it.
The second is the Clear Sky Body Protection.
As the name suggests, it is a defensive skill. By infusing Soul Power into the Clear Sky Hammer, a protective shield is formed, making it impervious to blades, spears, water, and fire.
The third is the Clear Sky Avatar.
The upgraded version of the weapon spirit's true form, the Clear Sky Hammer became enormous, its power multiplied, and a single blow could flatten a mountain.
The fourth is the Heaven-Shaking Strike.
The Clear Sky Sect's single-target burst skill concentrates all of the body's Soul Power into a single hammer strike, attacking a single point of the enemy with immense power; it is a desperate move.
Besides these signature skills, the Clear Sky Sect also has some miscellaneous techniques, such as Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, and Purple Demon Eyes.
Wait, no, Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, and Purple Demon Eyes seem to be from the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, which belongs to the Tang Sect.
Oh right, Tang San incorporated some of the Clear Sky Sect's techniques into the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, so there's a lot of overlap between the martial arts of the two sides.
In short, the core of the Clear Sky Sect's martial arts system can be summed up in one word: hammer.
Use a hammer for offense, use a hammer for defense, use a hammer for everything.
Brute force can overcome any skill; as long as my hammer is heavy, fast, and powerful enough, you can't beat me.
Simple, direct, and effective.
But then a problem arises.
This martial arts system relies too heavily on Martial Soul.
You need the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul to train it; otherwise, all your efforts will be in vain.
This has resulted in the Clear Sky Sect having a very narrow lineage, only accessible to members of the Tang Family, and outsiders simply cannot learn it.
Unlike the Tang Sect's Hidden Weapon, poisons, and Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, which can be learned by anyone with hands and feet, this is different.
