My construction materials are weird

"What?"

"Not good."

"Quickly remind Xuan Huang to hide in the Ruins of Return."

The Wen and Wu Temples, the first to perceive the crisis, were extremely anxious, whether it was Bai Qi or Yan Hui.

They wanted to quickly notify Xuan Huang, knowing that this was a risky behavior.

As realm deities, warning about a calamity initiated by the realm's mourning would bring them nothing but harm, yet neither of them hesitated.

"Too late!"

"So fast?"

Immediately afterward, they both sighed in regret, not expecting the calamity to be so swift.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Huang is in danger."

How could a calamity initiated by the realm be simple? No matter how highly they regarded Xuan Huang, they didn't believe he could evade such a disaster.

"Lord Wu'an, don't panic. You should know that Fellow Daoist Xuan Huang can disappear at will; he will be fine," said Peng Yue, the King of Peng, in the Wu Temple Realm.

"I hope so."

Lord Wu'an's usually calm face showed a hint of anxiety.

Xuan Huang had simply brought him too much shock, and Xuan Huang's usefulness was becoming increasingly apparent.

Especially after learning about Zuo Qiuming's advancement in the Wen Temple and the cultivation of the corpse fishers in the Yellow River Realm.

Recently, King Peng Yue was also planning to visit Qingyun Mountain or the South Market to seek his own opportunities.

Before he could leave, such a thing happened.

Both of them were very anxious.

However, not long after.

"Huh? A fruitless return? Can it be like this?"

Lord Wu'an was the first to sense it.

As realm deities, and top-tier ones at that, they generally couldn't be kept in the dark about what happened within the realm.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Huang is alright?" Lord Wu'an asked.

Only the Spirit Suppressing Monument in the Ruins of Return fluctuated slightly.

"Interesting."

Now that the calamity had passed, Xuan Huang found it quite interesting.

So, destroying a realm actually had such a backlash. He really hadn't thought of this before.

"Although it wouldn't matter if the calamity were a little stronger, this one was a bit too weak. It only made the Spirit Suppressing Monument fluctuate slightly. It should be related to Jianmu's control."

The strong see the crisis as others see the reason.

Xuan Huang even analyzed why the calamity wasn't as big as he had imagined.

He guessed it was related to Jianmu, after all, it wasn't a true demise, but a different kind of rebirth.

Unlike Xuan Huang's pleasant analysis.

Truth be told, when they discovered the Ming Lake Realm was destroyed, those realm deities who disliked Xuan Huang were grieving.

They knew Xuan Huang's subordinates could break through realms, but knowing and actually seeing it done were two different things.

Fortunately, this grief didn't last long; they immediately became excited.

Because Xuan Huang's actions triggered the realm's mourning, the combined mourning of all realms caused a calamity to descend.

"Haha, Xuan Huang Daoren, your death is at hand today!"

"Damn Xuan Huang Daoren, you have this day too, haha..."

"The human world cannot tolerate a scourge like you. We are the heaven-ordained masters of the human world; you deserve to die."

"Dreaming of competing with us for the human world, and daring to attack realms so recklessly, you deserve it, Xuan Huang Daoren!"

"..."

This was the ecstasy of some hostile forces' deities.

Most special were the ten deities of the Ming Lake Realm.

"Haha, haha, I knew he'd have this day! I didn't expect it to come so quickly, haha..."

Gege laughed rather unrestrainedly, having not felt this relieved since becoming a dependent.

"Croak, great, Xuan Huang Daoren, you deserve to die!"

The Toad King also said.

Even the deities of the Yin Mountain Realm didn't stop these defectors, letting them vent.

After all, Xuan Huang's death meant one less threat to them.

However...

"Alright, stop cursing. Xuan Huang Daoren is fine," the Venerable of the Yin Mountain Realm suddenly said.

The wandering deities naturally couldn't sense the realm's fruitless return, but they were the first to feel it.

Even a calamity initiated by the realm couldn't eliminate Xuan Huang. They instantly began to wonder if accepting these ten people was the right decision.

Xuan Huang was truly not simple.

He had withstood the test of the realm's calamity. This feeling was completely different from before.

A strong person who has been verified is a true strong person.

No matter how mysterious the rumors were before, they weren't as direct as a calamity test.

"Uh..." The laughter of Gege and the other deities came to an abrupt halt.

"Lord, can your subordinate ask what's going on?"

One of the shortcomings of wandering deities is that they aren't native to the realm, so they don't have the most direct information.

"The calamity didn't affect Xuan Huang Daoren. Alright, alright, disperse," the deity of the Yin Mountain Realm said impatiently.

It shouldn't have been like this.

Even wandering deities, after joining their realm, shouldn't be treated like this.

There was no reason to treat them like this. Their arrival not only didn't take up their resources, but also brought enhancement.

If they were treated so harshly, how would they continue to recruit such wandering deities in the future?

They also had to plan for the future.

There was no need to be harsh in terms of reason or emotion.

The reason for the sudden change of face here was because Xuan Huang was too unbelievable. Even a realm calamity couldn't deal with him, and he had even recruited the deities of the destroyed Ming Lake Realm. How could they be in a good mood?

So, they didn't even want to put on an act anymore.

After the Yin Mountain deity left, Gege and the other ten were dazed, obviously still not recovered from the blow, wondering what kind of enemy they had provoked.

Who exactly was the deity?

There was no such logic. They couldn't understand.

However, whether they understood or not was not important.

What was important was that Xuan Huang's status in the hearts of the realm deities had risen to another level, becoming an existence that must be taken seriously.

However.

One realm showed a very divided opinion.

"You've all seen it, right? I said Xuan Huang Daoren wasn't simple. Do you believe it now? Even a realm calamity can't do anything to him. Relying on a king's sneak attack is simply a fool's dream. Give up this plan," said Chang'e of the Moon Heart Realm righteously, her confidence a bit stronger, unlike the previous discussions where she lacked confidence.

"I think it's different. We still have a great opportunity. We haven't seen the specifics of the calamity. Maybe Xuan Huang Daoren has a way to avoid it, but our plan doesn't have so many uncontrollable factors and accidents. It's different," Diana retorted. She wouldn't give up.

If she gave up easily, she wouldn't be the Venerable Lord of the realm.

She was an ambitious person and wouldn't give up because of a little setback.

Competing for the Holy Land was not only her dream but also had deeper reasons, such as the connection of her lineage's deities in the Blue Star Holy Land.

Her ultimate plan was to have her lineage's deity realms devour the Moon Heart Realm, creating the top-tier realm, even an existence beyond the realm.

And she, as the greatest contributor, would benefit from this. The Sixth-Order Venerable Lord was not her limit.

This was her goal.

So, was Xuan Huang hard to kill? Was that important?

It's not important; even Xuan Huang is just a pawn.

“I admit that Daoist Xuan Huang is not simple, but I feel that the more extraordinary he is, the sooner he should be eliminated. Venerable Chang'e, don't be intimidated by Xuan Huang. The realm he destroyed was just a weakened, countless times weaker, intermediate realm. We are a top-tier realm, and Daoist Xuan Huang cannot pose a threat to us.”

Mani was, as always, strongly supporting Diana. It's just unclear whether he's genuinely foolish or pretending.

In short, the Moon Heart Realm is extremely complex.

“Are you still not giving up? Is this not enough proof? This Venerable doesn't understand. Do you really need to go this far to integrate into the so-called Holy Land circle? Isn't it too much?”

Chang'e said with heartache.

If even this cannot change their minds, could it be that my suspicions are correct?

Jade Rabbit reminded herself to be careful. Could it be true?

“It's not excessive. Often, the more you put in, the more you gain. If our plan succeeds, we will not only break into the core of the Holy Land's top-tier realm in one fell swoop, but we will also be viewed differently for killing Daoist Xuan Huang. This is a win-win situation. Even if we fail, so what, as Venerable Mani said?”

Diana continued, “Daoist Xuan Huang is only bullying a weakened medium realm. We are a top-tier realm; we fear no threat.”

“You, you guys…?” Chang'e was utterly disheartened.

She waved her sleeve and left, parting on bad terms.

In Guanghan Palace, seeing Chang'e return disappointed, with a very unpleasant expression.

Venerable Jade Rabbit cautiously asked, “Your Majesty?”

“They are still stubborn and insist on carrying out the plan,” Chang'e said.

Jade Rabbit nodded and remained silent for a while.

After a long while, she said, “Your Majesty, I must have guessed correctly. The two Venerables may have a conspiracy. We need to be careful and guard against their schemes.”

Strictly speaking, Chang'e is only more widely known, hence the Venerable level. But in terms of wisdom and sophistication, she is no match for Jade Rabbit.

The sacred beings of the Guanghan Palace lineage in the Moon Heart Realm still rely on Jade Rabbit and others to make decisions.

Chang'e is also aware of her shortcomings and is considered a leader who readily takes advice from her subordinates.

Therefore, in this complex realm, the Guanghan Palace lineage can still check and balance the other two lineages.

The deep-level nurturing of sacred beings is actually no different from Chang'e, who often appears.

The only difference is that deep-level nurturing may take a slightly shorter time, but not by much.

The reason why other realms leave a few to guard while the other sacred beings are deeply nurtured is because there's nothing for them to do even if they all come out. They can't leave the realm anyway, which isn't very interesting, so deep-level nurturing is better.

The Moon Heart Realm is different. It's too complex, with too many thoughts, making it difficult to nurture deeply without regard for worldly affairs.

“What kind of conspiracy do you think they have?” Chang'e asked, now taking it a bit more seriously.

Previously, she didn't believe Jade Rabbit's suggestion that there might be a conspiracy, but now she needed to pay attention.

However, Chang'e really couldn't figure out what kind of conspiracy could harm her, a Venerable Saint. They were all at the same level and hadn't truly emerged, so how could they harm her?

“This subordinate can't think of anything that could threaten us, perhaps they have other plans… and the plans are very big.”

“Very big plans?” Chang'e asked.

She didn't think Jade Rabbit could offer any real insight; she was just asking.

However, no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't figure it out.

Who could have imagined that Diana's ultimate goal was to destroy her realm?

… …

Time is the best medicine to smooth everything over. Even the greatest waves will fade with the passage of time.

Xuan Huang triggered a realm tribulation and escaped the punishment of the tribulation. Although it caused a stir, it was still a matter for the realm's sacred beings, and no one outside knew about it.

Like Qingyun Mountain, they had no idea that Master Xuan had accomplished such a feat.

Qingyun Mountain was still immersed in the joy of Chief Steward Sun Tong breaking into the Second Order, leading to the Four Great Sect Leaders, who had taken over Xia Capital, returning early.

After all, Qingyun Mountain was the foundation, and Xia Capital was just a nominal symbol.

The Great Chief Steward of Qingyun Mountain breaking into the Second Order was more important than controlling Xia Capital. Moreover, the control of Xia Capital was going smoothly and had entered a regular state.

Returning early wouldn't matter.

Moreover, it was Bi Xia and others who urged them to return early.

Bi Xia and others couldn't sit still after hearing that Jianmu had completely taken control of the Bright Lake Realm, but they couldn't use this reason to urge the Four Great Sect Leaders to go to Qingyun Mountain with them.

They finally waited for the opportunity with Sun Tong's breakthrough.

They urged the Four Great Sect Leaders to return together to congratulate Chief Steward Sun on reaching a thousand years of age.

Second Order True Cultivators can live for a thousand years, so congratulating Sun Tong on reaching a thousand years of age made sense.

Therefore, with the return of the Four Great Sect Leaders, the entire Qingyun Mountain became even more lively.

“Uncle, how many times have you asked? Isn't it annoying?”

Sun Tong was really a bit troubled. She didn't expect her breakthrough to cause such a big reaction in the entire Qingyun Mountain.

After thinking about it, she could understand. After all, she was the first Second Order among the True Cultivators, not the previously mentioned Ji Zhongfu, Little Fox, or Youde Wu悔.

This had a huge driving effect and could increase confidence.

A civilization, a race, needs such experts, and it needs a continuous stream of experts to constantly lead the civilization to greater heights.

“There's no way around it. They don't dare to ask you directly, afraid of making you angry, so they pushed me out,” Sun Hui said, seemingly helplessly.

But he couldn't be happier inside.

This was his own niece, after all. He was the one who led to his niece's current achievements. This could both prove his vision and demonstrate his decisiveness.

Moreover, although his niece belonged to the Merit Hall and no longer belonged to the Martial Dao Alliance.

Who would dare say that Chief Steward Sun Tong doesn't take care of the Martial Dao Alliance?

With such a powerful external aid, the development of the Martial Dao Alliance and his own development would have absolute benefits.

She was the most important relationship hub of the Martial Dao Alliance.

“Don't you think it's too much? Even Master Xuan didn't have such a grand celebration. What virtue or ability do I have to require everyone to hold a celebration? It's too much,” Sun Tong said awkwardly.

The reason for Sun Hui's visit was simple: the cultivators wanted to hold a congratulatory ceremony and wanted Chief Steward Sun Tong to agree.

And Sun Tong has not yet agreed to the giant celebration ceremony.

“Am I saying you're smart? Or am I saying you're stupid? Is that why you haven't agreed?” Sun Hui said a little depressed.

“Ah?” Sun Tong said confusedly, “Isn't that reason enough?”

“Haha…” Sun Hui laughed, “My silly niece, it's not that we're arrogant and conceited, it's that you're arrogant and conceited. What virtue or ability do you have to compare to Master Xuan?”

Sun Tong: … …???
