My construction materials are weird

Zhu Changxun's words left everyone speechless, completely blocking any argument. What more could they do when they had already sworn an oath to Master Xuan with their Dao hearts?

Although the eight people still maintained their smiles, they were all very depressed inside. It was just acting; they walked towards the Merit Hall together with smiles on their faces but discord in their hearts.

If there was any force worth paying attention to in these five years, it would naturally be the Evil Suppression Department led by Bi Xia.

In five years, they had gone from being newcomers to completely establishing themselves.

The Evil Suppression Department was not renamed, and it still continued to use the name Evil Suppression Department.

It had simply changed from the Evil Suppression Department of Xia Country, or even the Evil Suppression Department of the Spiritual Master World, to the Evil Suppression Department of the Cultivation World.

In terms of pure strength, the Evil Suppression Department was still the strongest.

Five years ago, Bi Xia was in the middle stage of a Tier 3 Spiritual Master. Five years had passed, and although he was still in the middle stage of a Tier 3 Spiritual Master, his essence had undergone a great change.

Taking his current greatest reliance, the Dao Soldiers, as an example, Bi Xia had already conceived five Dao Soldiers.

Their Dao Soldiers were also different from ordinary cultivators' Dao Soldiers. After verification and dissemination by the谛听楼 (Diting Tower), the Spiritual Master's Dao Soldiers were called Natal Dao Soldiers.

The name was similar to Natal Beast Imprint, Natal Supreme Treasure, and other such names.

With five Dao Soldiers, Bi Xia's strength was naturally stronger than before when he only had one Dao Soldier.

Bi Xia felt very good. If he was willing to enter the late stage of Tier 3 Spiritual Master, it would be a natural and simple thing, but he just hadn't done it.

At this level, simply entering the late stage from the middle stage didn't have that much effect. It was far不如 (far inferior to) condensing another Natal Dao Soldier.

Bi Xia, Long Yue, and others were also top-notch geniuses.

They began to study Xuan Huang's "Dao Soldier Art". Over these five years, it had gradually extended from the original "Dao Soldier Art" to a technique more suitable for themselves, that is to say, it had been upgraded.

In addition, with the unique ability of Qingyun Mountain, gaining four more Dao Soldiers in five years greatly exceeded Bi Xia's expectations.

A long time ago, Xuan Huang had said that he could lend a hand.

At that time, Bi Xia was still very proud and rejected Xuan Huang's help. He even didn't want to be in Qingyun Mountain, this holy land, but wanted to walk the path to Tier 4 on his own.

It's just that later... people change.

Bi Xia also felt that he was too arrogant before. It was impossible not to borrow Xuan Huang's help.

Of course, there was a premise. He previously thought that as long as the Dao Soldiers and he jointly suppressed the Strange, he would break through. He had never thought of condensing nine Natal Dao Soldiers.

If that were the case, whether he was in Qingyun Mountain or not, whether he had Xuan Huang's help or not, Bi Xia could have done it with his talent and ability.

Later, he came into contact with the Transcendent Method and the Limit Method.

Bi Xia's goal changed. He was no longer satisfied with simply breaking through to Tier 4, but wanted to lay a solid foundation for every step, even if he couldn't achieve Xuan Huang's Transcendent Method, he should at least achieve the Invincible Limit Method, right?

This is what was previously said about transcendence being poisonous.

Once you know it, it will entangle you like a heart demon, disturbing your mind.

Wanting to achieve nine Natal Dao Soldiers was impossible without coming to Qingyun Mountain.

Only by borrowing the resources of Qingyun Mountain could it be done.

The first aspect was Qingyun Mountain's suppression of the Strange.

Condensing Dao Soldiers in Qingyun Mountain was countless times easier than condensing Dao Soldiers outside.

It must be known that condensing Dao Soldiers is competing with the Strange for the probability of survival. Each additional Dao Soldier is equivalent to adding a share of the probability of who will be the master of the Tier 4 True King.

Even though the Strange only has instinct, it also knows that condensing Dao Soldiers is compressing its own chances of survival.

Therefore, the birth of each Dao Soldier is a life-and-death war, and the more Dao Soldiers are condensed, the more intense the war.

The advantage of being in Qingyun Mountain is that this is within the Jianmu Small Heavenly Intent Domain, which naturally restrains the recovery of the Strange. In this way, the crisis will be much smaller.

For example, Bi Xia, who has currently condensed five Dao Soldiers, feels that the degree of danger in condensing the fifth Dao Soldier is about the same as when he condensed the first one.

This is still natural suppression, without letting Jianmu specifically help suppress it.

In Qingyun Mountain, the thing that is not lacking is the rich Primordial Spirit Energy. This is a prerequisite for everything.

Therefore, when the Evil Suppression Department stepped down, it not only considered that Spiritual Masters could not compare to Cultivators, but also considered their own future.

They also needed to come to Qingyun Mountain.

Over the past five years, many people have left the Evil Suppression Department, and many people have joined.

The Evil Suppression Department has changed over the past five years, from a force composed purely of Spiritual Masters to a super force dominated by Spiritual Masters and supplemented by Cultivators.

The Four Great Super Powers are super forces, and they are too.

It's just that the positioning is a bit different. The Evil Suppression Department has not specifically established a sect, and seems to want to integrate itself into Qingyun Mountain.

Or the goal is a bit bigger, to turn itself into an existence like the Merit Hall, becoming a Hall and a Department under the jurisdiction of Master Xuan.

The route they are taking is not quite the same.

This path choice is something that cultivators have marveled at over the past five years.

Good fellow, everyone exclaimed good fellow.

As expected of Minister Bi Xia, he is aiming to become a department of Qingyun Mountain, not a super force.

If this is successful, it is equivalent to having the same status as the Merit Hall.

Becoming a Hall and a Department under Master Xuan.

The Evil Suppression Department's direction has received the support of the entire Cultivation World. Although they dare not support it on the surface, they all support it in their hearts.

To be honest, cultivators don't want the Merit Hall to be the only dominant force.

Although it is a detached existence that manages the Cultivation World for Master Xuan, they also hope that there will be one more such detached existence, and one more will bring a little more competition.

A little more competition is good for them cultivators.

The Four Great Super Powers were very nervous at first, but after slowly discovering the path that the Evil Suppression Department was going to take, they were not so nervous. Instead, some places gave secret support.

Of course, the Martial Dao Alliance is an exception. They really don't like having another Merit Hall.

The Merit Hall is said to be their maiden family, and they have really received a lot of benefits and help. Having another Evil Suppression Department is not good for them.

It's just that their dissatisfaction alone cannot stop the overwhelming trend.

On the side of the Evil Suppression Department.

"We have to look at Chief Manager Sun's face again."

Han Wu said humorously.

The Evil Suppression Department has become its own faction. It has not joined the Four Great Super Powers because of its strength, nor has it joined the Eight Great Powers.

It has always been very maverick. The strong do not bother to form groups.

The annual summary meeting, especially in the last two years, is a meeting that the Evil Suppression Department is unwilling to participate in.

They have indeed received exclusion and dissatisfaction from the Merit Hall.

Even if Sun Tong is magnanimous and even says that he doesn't care, there are still many other people in the Merit Hall.

Wanting to make everyone in the Merit Hall treat their challenger with a smile is impossible.

When taking this step, Bi Xia and others had already thought of it.

In fact, they didn't just make this decision on a whim, but after comprehensive consideration of all aspects.

The Merit Hall seems to manage everything, but managing everything is equivalent to managing nothing.

Although it is in line with Master Xuan's Dao of being casual, when the power is great, some constraints are still needed.

But if you want to restrain, then don't have powerful strength; it's impossible to do without powerful strength.

It seems that none of the Four Super and Eight Great Families dare to disobey the Merit Hall's orders, but handling affairs with money and handling affairs for oneself are still different.

Moreover, the current Four Super and Eight Great Families, and even Qingyun Mountain, are not in their final state.

Eventually, these forces will all be driven away. After they complete their training, they will definitely be driven away by the Xuanshi, establishing their own households and not relying on their teachers forever.

Such things will definitely happen in the future.

Perhaps it will be after the experts of these forces reach the Fourth Order, or perhaps it will be after the fusion of myriad realms is completed and the shackles of heaven and earth completely dissipate.

No matter when, being driven away is certain.

At that time, if the Merit Hall wants to do something, it won't be as simple as it is now.

It's still necessary to have a strong organization in one's own hands.

Flawless and unprecedented!

Bi Xia is aiming for this, and after comprehensively analyzing the Merit Hall, he sees it as a central hub, lacking the ability to punish and personally execute tasks. The Town Demon Department wants to fill this gap.

In addition, one Merit Hall is not enough; for balance, there needs to be another force on par with the Merit Hall.

After considering various aspects, Bi Xia and others decided on the Town Demon Department's positioning.

Nowadays, there are many paths for Spirit Masters to transform into True Cultivators, and it's no longer as troublesome as it was in the beginning when Wu Hui, You De, and others needed Xuan Huang to personally handle everything.

Now, the Four Great Sects all have their own transformation abilities, and the Town Demon Department has naturally obtained these secret methods from the Four Great Sects.

Or rather, it is supported by investments from the Four Great Sects.

Therefore, the current Town Demon Department has Spirit Masters, cultivators, and those who are half Spirit Master and half cultivator.

There are two methods of cultivation: one follows the pure cultivator route, and the other follows the route of becoming a Spirit Master.

As for why one would still choose the Spirit Master route, it's because this path is truly good.

As long as one has suitable talent, one can become a First Order Spirit Master in two days. Even the fastest cultivator can't become a Transcendent cultivator in two days.

After becoming a Spirit Master, there are two paths: one is to start transforming into a True Cultivator, and the other is to continue on the Spirit Master path.

Those who transform are those whose Spirit Master talent is not particularly strong. It may not be difficult to become a Spirit Master, but it would be a bit difficult to delve deeper into the Spirit Master path.

This kind of transformation starts directly from the First Order, cultivating the Three Great Methods while allowing oneself to fuse with the Anomalies to temper one's will, achieving both without neglecting either.

Spirit Masters are the darlings of heaven and earth among all cultivators.

When I say all cultivators, that includes Xuan Huang's Three Great Methods True Cultivators.

Because Anomalies are the true pride of heaven, the protagonists of the era.

Anyone who has a relationship with Anomalies will be touched by the light of the era's protagonist. Spirit Masters have fused with Anomalies, so they can't be said to be complete protagonists of the era, but half counts, right?

True Cultivators are strong because Xuan Huang built them up. Without Xuan Huang, True Cultivators are truly no match for Spirit Masters.

What kind of methods did Xuan Huang create? All are invincible methods, and they are still systematically perfect invincible methods, still the invincible methods of essence, qi, and spirit.

This has a bit of cheating suspicion, leading to True Cultivators being stronger than Spirit Masters.

Normally speaking, even if cultivation methods were born in this era, they would be very weak due to the suppression of the distortion of heaven and earth. Such methods are impossible to compare with Spirit Masters, let alone wild Anomalies.

Small world magic treasure cultivators are the cultivators who should be born in this stage, definitely not the Three Great System True Cultivators under Xuan Huang.

Without Xuan Huang, True Cultivators simply can't compare with Spirit Masters, let alone Anomalies.

Once Spirit Masters begin to learn Xuan Huang's methods, or even use the abilities of Anomalies to learn Xuan Huang's methods, then their power will be revealed.

Becoming a temporary Spirit Master in two days, starting directly from Transcendent, and then cultivating from the Transcendent level.

Even the most difficult will method can use the Anomalies they fused with as batteries, that's how terrifying it is.

If ten years ago, in the very beginning, Spirit Masters had joined Xuan Huang, followed Xuan Huang to learn, and transformed into the path of True Cultivators.

Then there would be no such thing as True Cultivators; True Cultivators simply couldn't compete.

It was wonderful that ten years ago, Spirit Masters looked down on Xuan Huang, thinking Xuan Huang was a swindler, or even a challenger, and didn't follow Xuan Huang to learn.

This led to the following of True Cultivators, and then the rise of True Cultivators.

Five years have already been able to close the gap with Spirit Masters; the timing is very clever.

The second type, those who continue on the Spirit Master path, are those with very good Spirit Master talent.

They won't start specializing immediately after becoming Spirit Masters, but will continue to delve deeper into the Spirit Master path until they reach the limit of their Spirit Master talent, and then transform into True Cultivators.

This seems to be a delay, but it actually saves a lot of time.

Although it has been said many times, it is still important to emphasize that Anomaly fragments are rule fragments, and rule fragments are equal to Anomalies.

The stronger and longer the fusion with Anomalies, the stronger and longer the fusion with rule fragments.

Being transformed by rule fragments is equal to being reshaped by rules.

Unless your talent is stronger than the rules, like Xuan Huang, I cultivate better than the rules myself.

If you don't have talent like Xuan Huang, being transformed and reshaped by the rules far exceeds the cultivation of cultivators themselves.

Not only is the speed faster, but the foundation laid is also deeper.

The higher the level of the Spirit Master, the faster they will cultivate to their previous Spirit Master level after transforming.

This is the reason why those with good Spirit Master talent continue on the Spirit Master route.

It's not a waste of time, but a saving of time.

Besides, it's good to cultivate with a strong backer, and it's good to have someone on the inside to do things.

It's too comfortable to walk the Spirit Master path in Qingyun Mountain. Apart from the lack of combat power, there are no other shortcomings.

What's there to fear about distortion and erosion? The divine pearl that alleviates distortion is from my ancestral master.

What's there to fear about Anomaly riots? My many grand uncles and grand masters specialize in restraining Anomalies, such as my Jianmu Grand Uncle's Small Heavenly Intent Domain.

Even if you accidentally die, it doesn't matter. My ancestral master has his own hell; wherever you go, it's under my ancestral master's management.

Walking the Spirit Master path in Qingyun Mountain can only be said to be too easy.

Some old Spirit Masters sometimes look at them with envy, so envious that their noses feel sour and they want to cry.

What kind of path did they take back then? It was a dark and hopeless path. Young people now are so happy.

Overall, the integration of the Town Demon Department has been successful, a very successful one.

Currently, the only thing that困扰s them is sustainability... There are too few Anomalies.

If this sentence were said six years ago, any Spirit Master who said there were too few Anomalies would be beaten to death by other Spirit Masters.

Things have changed; now it really feels like there are too few, not enough at all.

Before, Anomalies were great enemies; now, Anomalies are resources, irreplaceable resources.

Cultivators need them, and so does the Town Demon Department.

Competing for Anomalies has actually been the most participated event for the Town Demon Department in the past five years.

It's truly outrageous!
