My construction materials are weird

“In the end, I wasn't as lucky as other fellow cultivators. I was personally refined by the Lord, so I can't follow the path of Creation Method. But this time, returning as a newborn and meeting the Lord is the greatest fortune… and because of the changes that twisted the will of heaven, I've gained some enhancements.”

The Key was like a wise old man, much more steady and reliable compared to those mischievous Xuanhuang kids.

Of course, such wisdom also made it impossible for it to embark on the nurturing path of Creation Method.

The more wisdom one has, the less likely they are to walk the path of Creation. Wisdom is only a burden in Creation, not a bonus.

“All paths lead to the same destination. Your path is equally promising. Let's talk after you've completely merged. I'll find a way for you,” Xuanhuang said.

“Thank you, Lord. This subordinate will certainly live up to your expectations.” The Key trembled with excitement, emitting a dazzling cyan light.

“Are you confident in dealing with your other half?” Xuanhuang asked.

“Lord, I don't know how to lose?” the Key replied.

Xuanhuang was stunned by this answer. Where did your steadiness go?

I just praised you.

“Lord, please don't misunderstand. I and it were originally one. Although I was damaged, it was transformed by the Heavenly Dao. This indeed created a gap before, but the completion by the Zhenling Stele has completely erased this gap. Even during the completion process, I specifically extended abilities targeting the other half.”

Hearing this, Xuanhuang understood.

This guy was cunning and scheming, planning against his other half from the moment he was completed.

The specific enhancement targeting his other half was for the sake of restraint.

Don't say it's impossible, nothing is impossible for the Zhenling Stele.

“More importantly, I have intelligence, while it only possesses the instincts of a twisted anomaly. How can it, without intelligence, contend with me now?” The Key stated the most crucial point.

One with intelligence, one without intelligence, that was the biggest difference.

It was overwhelming.

Hearing this, Xuanhuang was relieved. As for Qiao Liangyu?

Without the Anomalous Clubhouse, Qiao Liangyu was nothing. He could suppress him with a single glance.

“Good, give it your all.”

Xuanhuang said encouragingly.

In his heart, he had already begun planning how to develop and utilize the Anomalous Clubhouse after the fusion.

This would be a great weapon, a huge boost, and his biggest trump card besides the golden divine soul.

A fifth-order complete body, although it couldn't appear in the real world, could play a significant role if used well.

If it couldn't be in the real world, couldn't it be in the inner world?

There were places where it could exist.

Hiding within such protection, he wouldn't even fear fifth-order Venerables in the future. First of all, they couldn't break his defense.

This type of palace-like treasure or anomaly was inherently the strongest.

This river of time had no direction, no up, down, left, or right.

But thanks to the Key's reminders and protection, it was a thrilling but safe journey.

The Key was like a spirit of this place, able to avoid dangerous areas and obsessions that even it couldn't handle.

After traveling for an unknown amount of time, they arrived at the edge of a wave.

It was a jet-black wave, but Xuanhuang knew that the wave contained a world. Each wave on this river was a world.

“Lord, it's this one.”

The Key said excitedly.

“What do you need me to do?” Xuanhuang asked.

“Lord, you only need to suppress its contractor during my fusion. I heard you mention his name, Qiao Liangyu. Hmph… I can only say that its contractor is too trash.”

The Key said.

The contractor mentioned here was not the master. This needed to be clarified.

The Key and the Anomalous Clubhouse followed the path of cause and effect, luck, or a path of gathering crowds.

Binding more contractors meant their growth was its growth.

Similar to a Main God, it issued tasks. Contractors received rewards for completing them, and the Main God obtained what it wanted, becoming stronger.

However, the Anomalous Clubhouse wasn't as strong and couldn't do what the Main God did, targeting world after world.

The goal of the Anomalous Clubhouse was currently unclear and would only be known after the Key merged.

“Why only one contractor? Why doesn't it continue to bind more?”

Xuanhuang asked, puzzled.

If Qiao Liangyu was so incompetent, it could completely terminate the contract or directly eliminate the contractor and select more people. How could there be competition with only one?

“Lord, I don't understand this either. Logically, if one contractor isn't good enough, it could terminate the contract or directly eliminate the contractor and screen more people. But it didn't do that?” The Key also didn't understand.

“Could it be that? It doesn't want to hide in the fragmented world of the river of time, but like you before, it can't appear in reality… If that's the case, there's no opportunity for selection. Qiao Liangyu's binding might be a miracle… In short, it's not that the Anomalous Clubhouse doesn't want to, but it can't.” Xuanhuang guessed.

“Eh? That's actually possible, Lord,” the Key said.

Xuanhuang thought of how he had accidentally entered the inner world of the Anomalous Bell and then climbed Nanshan.

Perhaps the previous Anomalous Clubhouse was the same.

There was an entrance that allowed entry into its interior, and those who entered could become contractors and be bound.

Therefore, Qiao Liangyu luckily discovered this entrance, entered the inner world where the Anomalous Clubhouse was located, and became the first bound contractor.

But after Qiao Liangyu became the contractor, he guarded the passage, occupied it himself, and didn't let anyone else in.

This led to the Anomalous Clubhouse only binding one contractor.

Coupled with Qiao Liangyu's style of never showing his face… it seemed this was very close to the answer.

“If that's really the case, we should thank this Qiao Liangyu. He stopped the Clubhouse from growing.”

The Key said something very insulting.

These words were only directed at Qiao Liangyu.

“Regardless, you'll know after you merge. Go.” Xuanhuang said.

“Yes, Lord!”

The Key responded and then transformed into a cyan sharp sword, piercing through the wave.

“Boom!”

Instantly, the world within the wave was in turmoil, as if the sky had shattered.

“What's going on?”

Inside the Anomalous Clubhouse, Qiao Liangyu was frowning.

Beside him was Lady Rose, the only person allowed to enter here.

The reason for his frown was because he had encountered another setback. The monsters he had previously deployed had been found a way to deal with by the cultivators.

Although it initially caused considerable losses, killing many cultivators and destroying the teleportation array.

He wasn't happy for long, as the monsters he had deployed disappeared without a trace.

This made him frown. He had Lady Rose investigate, but there were no results yet.

He was hesitating whether to ignore the teleportation array for now and start deploying in the metropolises under Xuanhuang's jurisdiction?

His primary target was the teleportation array because he disliked it the most. Mere cultivators were also building teleportation arrays. Wasn't this stealing his job? It needed to be eliminated immediately.

Following his inner thoughts, despite what Gou Jianren had suggested about deploying them in the metropolis to throw the cultivators into disarray, Qiao Liangyu did not do so, ignoring Gou Jianren's advice.

But suddenly!

A loud shattering sound startled him.

Where is this?

This was his lair, a non-existent world, a forgotten place.

This was also the base of operations for the 'controlled' anomalies, so how could there be such a powerful explosion here?

The explosion was secondary; the more important thing was the tremor in his soul.

It originated from the Anomalous Clubhouse, a transmission of fear and dread.

He had never received emotional transmissions from the Clubhouse before; this was the second time.

The first time was when he was being hunted by anomalies, stumbled into a corner, and arrived here, seeing a contract on the closed door of the Clubhouse.

It stated that signing would grant entry and membership to the Clubhouse.

In his extreme anxiety at the time, he didn't think much and signed his name.

After signing, he felt a surge of joy, transmitted by the Clubhouse.

That was the first time he received a conscious transmission from the Clubhouse, and now it was the second time.

"Club, Club, Clubhouse Leader, the sky is broken!"

Rose cried out urgently, seeing a crack in the gray sky of this world, with a flash of azure light shining through.

However, even seeing it was irrelevant; the azure light paid no attention to either of them.

Ignoring all else!

The azure light plunged into the Anomalous Clubhouse like a meteor.

"Buzz!"

The impact of the collision created a deafening sound.

It stirred up the surrounding gray air, and when they could see clearly, a familiar yet strange figure was floating in front of them.

"Nice to meet you, are you both well?"

It was Xuan Huang, hovering before the two of them.

"You, you…"

"Xuan Huang, Daoist Xuan Huang…"

One was uttered by Qiao Liangyu, the other by Madam Rose.

Both looked at Xuan Huang as if they had seen a ghost.

Who would have thought that they would see their greatest enemy in their own lair?

"No, no, no, how could you get in here? How could you enter this place?"

Qiao Liangyu lost his composure for a moment.

He roared, clearly not understanding what was happening.

"Suppress him! I want to suppress him! Quickly, suppress Xuan Huang, suppress him!"

Qiao Liangyu trembled as he roared, pointing his finger at Xuan Huang.

"Don't worry, don't worry, it's being suppressed, it's being suppressed, don't you see?"

Xuan Huang said, following his words.

At the same time, he also pointed his finger at the other party.

However, one was pointing at a person, while Xuan Huang was pointing at the Anomalous Clubhouse.

The Anomalous Clubhouse was indeed being suppressed, filled with the power of suppression.

Seeing this scene, Madam Rose staggered and fell to the ground, clearly unable to bear such a sight.

The azure light transformed from the key was like Mount Tai pressing down, even more like a meteor, with its aura extending greatly, enveloping the main body of the Anomalous Clubhouse, causing it to tremble.

"How could this be? How could this be?" Qiao Liangyu seemed to have lost his soul.

To be honest, Xuan Huang despised such an enemy; his opponent for so long, even his greatest opponent, was actually like this, and he was truly disappointed.

However, this also showed the capabilities of the Anomalous Clubhouse; such an opponent, even with simple utilization, could make him exhausted.

"Your state of mind and will do not match your abilities and opportunities; let's end this."

Xuan Huang reached out, and as the Anomalous Clubhouse was being suppressed and merged by the key, without the Clubhouse's assistance, Qiao Liangyu was just the most trashy third-order 'cultivator'.

That's right, not a Spirit Master, but a cultivator.

Because he had never controlled the Anomalous Clubhouse; he had always been a contractor of the Clubhouse.

His abilities and cultivation were forcibly created through divine blood and contracts, and he had no real combat power.

Without the Anomalous Clubhouse, he was nothing.

Dealing with such an opponent, Xuan Huang could easily handle with a wave of his hand.

"No, spare me… I… have…"

Qiao Liangyu struggled and begged for mercy; for someone like him, as long as he could live, he didn't care about any dignity or face.

If Xuan Huang hadn't acted decisively, and he was still in a state of dazed rage, he would have shown even more, displaying all kinds of pleas and begging for mercy.

Xuan Huang didn't give him the chance to show it.

"I know you have secrets, but I don't want to hear them."

Xuan Huang waved his hand, erasing his body, turning it into dust, with only two thin, cicada-wing-like papers that were not erased, floating in the air, and Xuan Huang retrieved them with one hand.

"Hiss, roar!"

After Xuan Huang killed Qiao Liangyu, a large, blood-red hand crawled out from the rotten body of Madam Rose, like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon.

Rose's death gave birth to it.

This was the Anomalous Hand controlled by Rose.

Why did this happen?

It was because Rose herself felt that there was no hope of survival, and she ended herself, obliterating her own consciousness, allowing the anomaly to completely revive.

To be honest, Qiao Liangyu was not as good as Madam Rose; at least she managed not to beg Xuan Huang for mercy and ended herself.

On the other hand, if Xuan Huang hadn't acted decisively, Qiao Liangyu would have done anything to survive.

There was no need to give him the chance to show it; it was a waste of words.

If the Anomalous Hand had intelligence, it would cry; it really didn't want to be born here.

What kind of beings were in front of it?

Two beings of unknown strength were fighting, and although a human looked easy to bully, why was it trembling, and why was there such a strong sense of crisis?

Fortunately, it didn't suffer for long; Xuan Huang's gaze swept over, and it also turned into dust.

It made a trip to this world, only to let out a 'hiss, roar!'

Along with it, the remnants of Madam Rose, who was decayed and rotten beyond recognition, also turned to dust.

Xuan Huang's heart was no longer troubled; there was no joy or excitement in eliminating a great enemy.

Such a great enemy was truly embarrassing; he was too embarrassed to mention it.

Without the Clubhouse, which was like a nanny, he was nothing.

On the contrary, Xuan Huang saw one contract in his hand with Qiao Liangyu's name written on it, but the name was gradually disappearing, and the other was blank.

Combining the fact that there were only Qiao Liangyu and Madam Rose here, Xuan Huang seemed to understand.

"You died too easily, you bastard, really…" Xuan Huang held back and didn't continue to slander the dead.

Obviously, the other one should be Rose's contract to enter this place.

Unfortunately, it was taken by Qiao Liangyu and he didn't let Rose sign the contract to become a contractor.

To be honest, if Rose was also a contractor and had the same abilities as Qiao Liangyu, the Anomalous Clubhouse might be many times more difficult to deal with.

It would become a truly powerful force, at least second only to the Evil Suppression Department.

Unfortunately, Qiao Liangyu was the biggest accident.
