My construction materials are weird

However, almost no one knew about Sun Tong's breakthrough.

Even if people saw that she was extraordinary, they would only think it was natural, is there a problem with the assistant of a Profound Master being extraordinary?

They even felt it was a bit late, and she should have been about the same speed as the Four Great Sect Leaders.

In this month, Qingyun Mountain had 12,000 extraordinary individuals.

It can be seen that there was explosive growth.

With less than half a month left before the ten-year milestone.

Xuan Huang, who hadn't held an important meeting for a long time, informed Sun Tong three days in advance to hold an expanded meeting.

Those notified included not only the Four Great and Eight Middles, but also faith cultivators, as well as various smaller forces and representatives.

It was still in the Inner World.

It was still an environment filled with immortal energy, and still a place permeated with Dao essence.

There were three hundred forces of various sizes participating, with a total of about three thousand people involved.

It covered the cultivation world represented by Xuan Huang, and all cultivators based on the Three Great Dharmas.

For example, there were individual powerhouses, or highly skilled cultivators with expertise in various arts.

Fei Hong also came, representing the Queen.

Gu Cultivator Wu Tong represented himself and also represented the artisans in the Merit Hall of Qingyun Mountain.

The Four Great and Eight Middles need not be mentioned, there were also small forces or sects and clans from various cities.

And also the temple priests from various places.

This time, their way of arriving was also different, they did not come by Qingyun Boat.

After all, although the number of people was not large, they were scattered too widely, and the Qingyun Boat still needed to operate normally.

Xuan Huang directly opened the passage to the Inner World, and the cultivators from various places, as long as they left a dream imprint at the Gate of Dreams, and the faith cultivators left a mark on the Heavenly Net, were all teleported over at once.

It also included another force from Qingyun Mountain, the Xuan Cat and Dream-Eating Tapir, representing the spirit beasts.

All in all, there were nearly three thousand, not very specific, only an approximation can be given.

Sun Tong, from the Merit Hall, presided over the on-site scheduling, and the Four Great Sect Leaders each managed a part to maintain order.

In fact, no one dared to make a loud noise, they should look at the occasion.

But maintaining order was still necessary, it was just a formality.

"Senior Ji Zhongfu has arrived!"

Yan Lai stood at the front, smiling and cupping his hands in greeting, bowing towards Ji Zhongfu who was arriving late, showing the etiquette of a junior.

Ji Zhongfu nodded to everyone with the demeanor of an expert, and under the fiery gazes of everyone, he sat in his seat under the guidance of Yan Lai.

Originally, Ji Zhongfu did not need such a display.

In his words, they were all disciples under the Profound Master, and there was no need to make it like this.

Those who didn't know would think that Ji was too pretentious.

But he was persuaded by Sun Tong and the Four Great Sect Leaders.

The reason for persuasion was very simple, this was not only an internal meeting of Qingyun Mountain, but also included many small forces, family forces, and faith cultivator forces from various cities.

It was the first large gathering of disciples under the Profound Master, and it needed to be more formal.

Especially Sun Tong's words: "Senior Ji, this is not prepared for you, it is prepared for the Profound Master, and it is also prepared by me for the first formal meeting of disciples under the Profound Master."

As soon as this was said, Ji Zhongfu immediately stopped talking.

He was just a procedure, a small accompaniment, he was thinking too highly of himself.

He readily agreed.

However, he asked a little, was he the only one like this?

Yan Lai's answer was: "Only Tier 2 has the ceremony of appearing as the finale, those below Tier 2, including us, all come to the scene in person and find our own seats."

His arrival caused a lot of discussion among the small forces and family forces in the middle and rear.

To be honest, ninety-nine percent of these people were once Qingyun Mountain cultivators.

It's just that they were eliminated by the fierce internal competition, unwilling to drift with the tide, so they established forces.

Some were family forces, and some were sects, etc.

They never expected to be notified to attend the meeting this time.

That day, they were cultivating normally, and the visualized object (stove, stone, and wood) suddenly transmitted fluctuations, this was the first time this had happened.

They did not dare to be careless.

After that, a familiar voice came.

"Greetings fellow Daoists, I am Sun Tong, under the instruction of the Profound Master, I sincerely invite you to attend the expanded meeting of cultivators in three days, please at a certain time on a certain day three days later..."

They vaguely heard the message from the Chief Manager.

It came from their visualized object, this must be real.

After a long time of愣, many people were overjoyed and wept, they were actually summoned back to Qingyun Mountain to attend the meeting.

The Profound Master had not forgotten them, they were self-moved.

After calming down, they understood that because of the forces they had established, they had a bit of fame, in Qingyun Mountain they belonged to the eliminated people, but in their own cities they were local guardians, big figures.

Therefore, they had the qualification to be invited to participate this time.

There was no need to prepare, and there was no need to take the Qingyun Boat, after three days a door would open on its own, and they could enter.

They waited excitedly for three days.

During these three days, the sect members or family cultivators in various places always felt that their sect leader and patriarch were abnormal.

It was the first time they had seen the sect leader or patriarch in such a mood.

They didn't know what had happened.

Until the last day, the sect leader and patriarch told them that they were going to Qingyun Mountain to attend a meeting.

It would have been better not to say it, but as soon as they said it, many people suddenly felt cold.

Was the patriarch going to break into Qingyun Mountain again? Abandoning them?

Was the sect leader still not giving up, and going to Qingyun Mountain to be an apprentice again?

Sometimes, these clansmen and sect disciples really couldn't understand why their sect leader or patriarch had such persistence.

In their opinion, it was so good to be a resounding patriarch or sect leader.

Why were they so obsessed with Qingyun Mountain?

That place was a holy land, but also a 'hell' in the eyes of cultivators.

A non-derogatory hell, describing the environment of brutal competition.

Why couldn't they forget such a cruel place, wasn't it good to be a patriarch in a small place?

If their patriarch and sect leader answered: Of course it's not good.

Those who have not been eliminated by Qingyun Mountain simply do not understand their psychology.

That was where their dreams began, it was the starting point of their cultivation, it was the homeland of their hearts, it was where the Profound Master was located.

Where is the proximity to the Tao, where is the greatness, where is the holiness, where is the unforgettable...

They would use all the beautiful words they could think of without hesitation.

Those who have not experienced it simply do not understand.

The clansmen and disciples looked at them with their eyes, and they did not whet their appetites.

They were informed that they were not leaving the family to go to Qingyun Mountain, but to attend a meeting, a meeting instructed by the Profound Master and invited by the Chief Manager.

As soon as this was said, the clansmen breathed a sigh of relief.

It was good that the patriarch did not think about it, abandoning them to continue to venture out.

In this way, they embarked on the journey home to Qingyun Mountain.

The process was very unfriendly.

They entered a suddenly appearing door, and then they arrived as soon as they opened their eyes, so fast, so fast that it was a bit perfunctory.

They hadn't finished reminiscing yet, and they had arrived.

There was no sense of experience at all, it was terrible.

After arriving, they愣 there, and were also reprimanded.

"Are you the patriarch of the Xiao family from XX city? Don't stand there blocking the way, come with me, your position is…"

These patriarchs and sect leaders weren't angry.

Nor did they dare to be, not when they saw where they were.

Putting aside everything else, good heavens, they were all receiving extraordinary treatment, they simply couldn't afford to offend anyone.

They immediately nodded and bowed with smiles, completely lacking the demeanor of family or sect leaders.

The familiar feeling returned, and they were very excited.

Not because they were masochists, but because it really felt familiar; they were like this before on Qingyun Mountain.

Always the most lagging behind, where would they get the courage to be arrogant, or the qualifications to be disrespectful?

"Yes, yes, it's me. Fellow Daoist Tong, long time no see. You're receiving guests? Fellow Daoist's demeanor is even more impressive than before," Patriarch Xiao greeted.

"Ahem, Patriarch Xiao, we'll chat later, let's go take our seats first."

"Alright, alright."

It was that simple of an exchange.

Even the extraordinary true cultivator, Fellow Daoist Tong, didn't dare to say much.

Not one error, one poem, one hair, one inner, one appearance, one at, one look!

Patriarch Xiao saw this situation and thought, it's too familiar, it's all back, it's all back.

And so, they were arranged to sit where they were supposed to be.

They also saw many of their former fellow Daoists.

Another round of hushed conversations ensued.

Until Ji Zhongfu's arrival.

"Yes, this senior is Senior Ji Zhongfu from the God-Devil Realm, currently the only second-order senior among true cultivators. Not long ago, he successfully switched to the Three Great Laws, and hasn't joined any faction, a carefree rogue cultivator."

This is the art of speaking.

If a weakling were a rogue cultivator, they would be said to be a down-and-out rogue cultivator that no major power favored.

But when it came to Ji Zhongfu, he became a carefree rogue cultivator.

With low cultivation, one truly has no human rights.

"What an unrestrained senior, not joining any forces, yet no one dares to underestimate him, truly the dream of us all!"

The crowd sighed.

"The one ranked at the front is Wei Qiancheng, the first temple priest of the faith cultivators. It is said that he received personal guidance from the Profound Master and is currently the leader of the faith cultivators."

Some cultivators were curious about the faith cultivators; this was the first time faith cultivators had participated in the conference.

The previously unremarkable path of faith had now also burst forth with new brilliance.

Putting aside everything else, being able to attend this conference and being ranked in a forward position was a change in itself.

"The one beside Lord Xuan Cat is the Second Divine Envoy, Lord Dream Eater, right?"

Some cultivators were curious about spirit beasts.

"Why are Lord Xuan Cat and Lord Dream Eater so flustered, as if they're looking for something?"

Someone noticed the clue.

"Shh, don't speak so loudly, let me tell you a little secret… Lord Void Blade and Lord Xuan Cat are incompatible. Cultivators have seen him beat them up quite a few times… Whenever Lord Void Blade sees Lord Xuan Cat and Lord Dream Eater, he beats them up."

"Ah, is there such a thing? Why is that?"

"You're asking me, how would I know?"

The crowd discussed animatedly.

Qiu Bei Sanren, who was sitting not far from Xuan Cat, had a worried look on his face.

"Lord Xuan Cat, calm down, be steady, everyone is watching."

Qiu Bei presumptuously reprimanded.

"Me, me, where am I afraid? I'm watching to see if Blade Bro will come back. If Blade Bro comes, I'll go say hello…"

As he spoke, he lost confidence.

His cat eyes spun rapidly as he added unnecessarily, "Also, I'm watching the faith cultivators. I'm their divine envoy, so if there's any accident, they can at least be counted as reinforcements."

Qiu Bei: …

"Lord, this meeting is very important. The Profound Master will be here later. Lord Void Blade wouldn't dare to hit you… You're afraid of Lord Void Blade, but Lord Void Blade is even more afraid of the Profound Master. With the Profound Master here, Lord Void Blade wouldn't dare."

"Ah! Haha, you're right, the Master will come later, Blade Bro wouldn't dare to be presumptuous, haha…"

Xuan Cat finally sat up straight, regaining a hint of arrogance.

The muddleheaded Dream Eater, upon hearing this, also felt it made sense and straightened his body along with Xuan Cat.

He remembered that Blade Bro had said he would beat them up every time he saw them.

Just then!

"Under the Profound Master's seat, the Qingyun Mountain Guardian Law, Lord Star Devourer, and Lord Hope have arrived."

Yan Lai's welcoming cry caused everyone to regain their composure.

Lord Star Devourer had also come, but who was Lord Hope?

Ninety-nine percent of the Qingyun Mountain cultivators didn't know of Hope's existence.

Hope was planted in the central area of Qingyun Mountain where Xuan Huang was, and Hope didn't like to show its face.

Very few people knew of Hope's existence.

Only Xuan Cat, Sun Tong, and Wang Zihai knew.

Wang Zihai knew because he had previously taken care of spirit plants for the Profound Master. Later, Lord Hope came, and the Profound Master no longer needed him.

That's how he knew.

Xuan Cat naturally wouldn't dare to speak nonsense about Hope's reclusive personality; moreover, it was better to know less so he could trade with Hope Bro alone.

If other forces knew and traded spirit plants and seeds with Hope as well, he wouldn't be an exclusive customer anymore.

Most importantly, if Hope Bro discovered that other forces were more reliable and did what they said, unlike him who always failed to accomplish things, that would be even worse.

…

In the beginning, the Reverse World was the time rift of the Strange Clock.

It was a place to bear negative darkness and spirits.

The spirits of those killed by the Strange Clock could survive here after their souls returned to heaven and earth.

That's when Xuan Huang first entered and encountered the twisted existence.

The Reverse World could not only allow normal human beings to enter, but could also bear spirits and gods.

Therefore, Star Devourer, whose divine soul had condensed and entered, could be seen by everyone, no longer its main body's giant vines.

It was a burly man with green clothes made of vines and leaves.

As for the scarecrow Hope Bro, it was the main body that entered.

An aura of solemnity and rich vitality, a very complex combination.

Coupled with the scarecrow appearance with a bit of uncanny valley effect, it was a little scary for those who saw it for the first time.

The crowd was very confused; they knew Lord Star Devourer.

Even if Lord Star Devourer condensed into a humanoid divine soul state, they knew of it.

Who was Hope?

Also a Qingyun Mountain Guardian Law, this was the first time they had heard of it.

Including Ji Zhongfu, who finally knew who the big shots behind him were.

It was Fellow Daoist Star Devourer and this scarecrow Fellow Daoist Hope.

However, some sharp-eyed people recognized it; wasn't this the scarecrow anomaly from the north side of Nan City a long time ago?

A place that had been under the Profound Master's control for a long time, said to be the origin of the Dao Soldier Pool.

The establishment of the Profound Master's Dao Soldier system was based on the scarecrow.

They vaguely felt they had guessed correctly; it should be the scarecrow they knew.

It was just that after being subdued by the Profound Master, its form had been changed, and it should have been given a new life by the Profound Master.

Lord Xuan Cat and Lord Star Devourer came to be this way as well.

They were fierce beasts twisted and given new life.

It was just that Lord Hope was a twisted anomaly given new life.

Presumably, the Profound Master wanted to thank it for comprehending the Dao Soldier system.
