My construction materials are weird

"Congratulations, Clan Leader! Many congratulations!"

The clansmen offered their congratulations. They didn't know what the Clan Leader had learned, but seeing him so happy, they figured congratulating him was the right thing to do.

"Hahaha, until you visit Green Cloud Mountain, you don't know how vast the Dao is! It's true! Even just participating in a competition to get into the top fifty has enlightened me. It was worth it!"

The Clan Leader said with great satisfaction.

The clansmen didn't understand, but congratulating him was the right thing to do anyway.

"Once I've digested the gains from this trip, my puppet techniques will definitely advance further. I'll certainly have a place in the Willow City area. That way, I can earn more points. As long as there are more points, the clan can have more orthodox true cultivators."

The Clan Leader didn't forget to paint a big picture for the clansmen.

The clansmen were even happier to hear this. Even if it might not be their turn, it was still better than nothing.

The clansmen offered another round of congratulations, this time more heartfelt.

This is the microcosm of countless remote areas. The Hundred Arts Competition has driven the progress of the entire cultivation world.

Online, especially on the cultivator website, an article titled 'Ten Years of Change,' a seemingly ordinary but impassioned piece of writing, resonated with many people.

It described the feelings of the first Hundred Arts Competition and this one.

[Fellow Daoist, you've spoken my mind! The competition nine years ago, although it has become a legend and has an irreplaceable role, to be honest, it was indeed very rudimentary. I observed the competition of the top hundred Daoists this time, and they have already surpassed the competition of the top ten, or even the top three, of the first competition. The change is really too great!]

[Yes, ah, thinking back to those years, some competitions even caused laughter. For example, the formation duel. At that time, Sect Leader Yuan was the most anticipated existence. But Sect Leader Yuan, who was so worthy of expectation, could only inscribe some formation runes on himself because he didn't have a reliable formation core. And the strength of the formation depended entirely on his own fluctuations...]

[And now? Sect Leader Yuan has already become a disciple of Master Xuan, and the Source Formation Sect has become one of the eight major forces. Formations have been applied to all aspects and have become an indispensable part of our cultivation world. Thinking about it really makes people feel a lot.]

In fact, this is a very ordinary feeling.

It tells of the changes in the past nine years, but when the cultivators saw it, wasn't this their own feeling?

The formation competition did cause a joke at the beginning. At that time, the formation was not yet formed at all. The so-called formation relied entirely on scribbling runes on oneself.

Not only that, but because there was no core to suppress it.

The cultivators could only act as the core themselves, and the cultivators at that time generally had low cultivation levels, without a transcendent existence.

With such cultivation as the core of the formation, how could the formation's power be brought into play?

A formation is the epitome of the rules of heaven and earth. Summarize the rules of heaven and earth, and then use the rules of heaven and earth. This is the formation.

It is the display of the ability to take heaven and earth as a chessboard.

But heaven and earth are distorted and chaotic, and heaven and earth cannot be used as a chessboard, so one can only enter the game oneself.

Such a formation would be a success if it could blow up a gust of wind.

Even Yuan Tianchun was filled with memories when he saw this article.

He relied on engraving runes to create a gust of wind around himself, and relied on this to get first place.

Now thinking about it, I really feel a lot.

Until later, he received Master Xuan's favor, and Master Xuan opened up the ability to suppress the three great treasures, which gave birth to formations and formation cultivators.

Currently, 90% of all formations are still suppressed with the three great treasures as the core.

Except for the teleportation array, most other formations are still suppressed by the three great treasures.

But the development of formations is very rapid, because the cultivators' cultivation is high, even if they leave the three great treasures as the core, the cultivators can still arrange some formations.

For example, the teleportation array is like this.

The cultivators rely on the fields of the major mountains and rivers, and the fields of the earth veins to suppress it.

This is a means that is only available after having transcendent cultivation. Although it is still impossible to borrow the power of heaven and earth, it is still possible to tame some mountain fields.

The teleportation array is like this. The disadvantage is that it cannot be moved and is very bulky.

After all, what is suppressed is a mountain, which means that the core of the array flag is a mountain. To use it in actual combat, there must be a mountain.

If it is placed elsewhere, it cannot be used at all.

Who would carry a mountain to arrange a formation for no reason?

But the teleportation array is very suitable, because it does not need to be moved and can be fixed there.

This is one of the few formations that formation cultivators can arrange after leaving the suppression of the three great treasures.

Due to his identity, Yuan Tianchun did not speak, but when he saw everyone's discussion, he felt a lot.

There were others who felt the same.

[Sect Leader Sun Bole of the Spirit Beast Sect also rose from the first Hundred Arts Competition. At that time, there was the 'Beast Taming Technique', but the time was short, and no cultivator could condense even the simplest beast seal, let alone the natal beast seal. I remember that the beast taming competition also caused a joke. The beast taming competition was not about the control of the beast taming cultivator over the beast, or the strength of the beast, but about who could condense a more realistic beast seal, haha... Thinking about it now really makes people feel a lot.]

[Forgive me for not being able to reveal my name, I was one of the top ten at the time. I very much agree with the words of the Daoist upstairs. Thinking back now makes people feel a lot. At the beginning, Sect Leader Sun Bole became the first in the competition because the beast seal he condensed was the most complete...]

A top ten from the first Hundred Arts Competition Beast Taming Group who was unwilling to reveal his name appeared.

Immediately aroused everyone's attention.

No matter who he is, the top ten of the first competition are now legends.

They must be experts.

Until...

[With Master Xuan's grace, my beast taming cultivators have a foundation. My Spirit Beast Sect has always followed Master Xuan's teachings. Do not forget the original intention, you can always get the end. This time, my Spirit Beast Sect occupies 22 of the top 50 people. I will definitely not let Master Xuan down, nor will I let down all the Daoist friends from all walks of life who care about and pay attention to the Spirit Beast Sect...]

Sun Bole of the Spirit Beast Sect appeared and posted openly.

He not only promoted the strength of his Spirit Beast Sect, but also looked forward to the future. Of course, the most important thing was to express his loyalty to Master Xuan.

His appearance further fermented this post.

Many top ten or top twenty from the first session of each group who were unwilling to reveal their names appeared.

[It's not just the two Daoists who caused the joke, my Refining Alliance also started from the first competition...]

A high-level member of the Refining Alliance appeared and also described the origin of the Refining Alliance, as well as the vision for the future, and so on.

Everyone is also familiar with the birth of the Refining Alliance.

There was also an episode, for example, they were the first alliance and the first to sue the four major ones.

The first place in vein detection also contributed the first transcendent material at the beginning, which led to the discovery and confrontation of the Blood Soul Realm.

It is also a legendary story.

... ...

In addition to this memory post, there were also some posts that attracted everyone's attention.

At the same time, the cultivators of Green Cloud Mountain and South City had more perspectives.

【I am a cultivator from the XX Sect in XX City, XX Province. Our Sect Master said the harvest is great, and our Sect will become more prosperous. After the Sect Master breaks through, I...】

This was originally a small, unnoticed cultivator's thoughts on the future.

Unexpectedly, it attracted a lot of attention.

【What? There are still people learning martial arts techniques? Weren't those eliminated a long time ago?】 Thirteenth-level member Pan Weile

No mistake, one song, one post, one content, all in one look!

【The friend upstairs is obviously from a big city. You're like a full man who doesn't know the hunger of a starving man. I suggest you go out and walk around more. The points spent on the teleportation array are probably dispensable to you. But, you may not know that it's a lifelong dream for countless cultivators in remote areas.】 Fifteenth-level member Qi Wenqiang

【Replying to friend Qi Wenqiang, I really haven't paid much attention to these things. This is the first time I've learned that there are still people learning those antiques.】 Thirteenth-level member Pan Weile.

A very typical dialogue between two people.

Thirteenth-level member Pan Weile is the type who was born in a big city, or even in a powerful family.

He simply doesn't know that there are still people learning antique techniques. It's not necessarily a lack of knowledge, but more like two completely different worlds.

Antique techniques refer to those martial arts techniques and Qi refining techniques from before Xuanhuang spread the Dao.

And a thirteenth-level member represents that he is at least a Transcendent being.

Because this cultivator website has real-name authentication. Members above level ten must meet two conditions: first, their cultivation must be Transcendent, and second, they need to spend points to recharge their membership every month.

So, all members need to recharge, and all those above level ten must be Transcendent cultivators.

Generally speaking, those above level ten won't pay attention to posts made by cultivators below level ten, because they are not in the same world at all.

Unless some纨绔 disciples (wan ku di zi - rich and arrogant children) leave messages in posts made by those below level ten in order to show off.

These are almost all for showing off and satisfying vanity.

For example, no matter what they say, it will trigger praise from netizens below level ten, or blatant flattery.

"Greetings,大佬 (da lao - big shot)." "大佬, just trying to get familiar, I am..." "Ah, I've seen a大佬 above level ten,大佬 hello..."

This is the norm.

As long as a member above level ten speaks in a post made by a cultivator below level ten, they will receive some rainbow farts and get some people's compliments.

Many纨绔子弟 like this kind of vanity. They don't say much, or even don't say anything at all, just leave a period, or 'I was here,' and they can get a lot of people's praise and envy.

It greatly satisfies some people's vanity.

Because the posts of members above level ten are not only unable to be commented on by those below level ten, but are even hidden, and those below level ten can't see them directly.

Naturally, they become two different worlds.

But conversely, cultivators below level ten can post, and those above level ten can leave messages at will, and they won't be hidden or unseen.

This satisfies many people's vanity.

So, they are two different worlds.

If nothing is happening, why would a Transcendent cultivator be idle and go to see the posts of Entry-level cultivators all day long? Who would pay attention to these things? They are not in the same circle at all.

Some cultivators who were born with a silver spoon in their mouth really don't know that in remote areas, there are such miserable people who don't even have cultivation methods and can only learn some antique techniques.

Like right now.

The small cultivator who posted the post was stunned. Suddenly, a lot of big shot members poured into his post. Was this something he could come into contact with?

Moreover, these big shots started discussing in his post, scaring him so much that he didn't dare to speak.

【When I traveled the world before, I saw such sects or families. They... in other words, the entire sect supports a true cultivator, but in turn, the true cultivator doesn't exploit them either, and also brings them opportunities to change their fate. It can't be said who is right and who is wrong, but it can be said with certainty that great differences have indeed appeared in our cultivation world, and have even become insurmountable chasms.】 Eighteenth or Nineteenth-level member XX

【So that's how it is. It seems that my knowledge is still shallow. No wonder Grandpa said I need to experience the world. After this Grand Competition, I need to go out and take a look.】

【No, they are so miserable, can't they catch strange creatures?】 Another lunatic appeared, also a fifteenth-level member.

【Does this friend know what they are talking about? Are strange creatures something they can touch? Do they think they have lived long enough? Currently, strange creatures are hard to come by, how could it be their turn to catch them? Once discovered, countless experts will pour in. To be honest, they not only don't want to catch strange creatures, but even wish that strange creatures would stay as far away from them as possible, not because they are afraid of strange creatures harming them, but because they are afraid of being displeasing to the passing experts and being destroyed.】 Sixteenth-level member XX.

【This? Okay, you have a point, but if they don't catch strange creatures, they can always explore, right? Nowadays, the changes on Blue Star are happening all the time. Even if they find some spiritual plants or spiritual mines, that's fine, right? Or even explore some secret realms?】 The lunatic fifteenth-level member said.

【Alas, it's still the same sentence, they are not qualified, and they don't have the strength. Do you think they have all kinds of means like you? Do you believe that they may not even have spirit talismans and pills? Plus, the cultivation methods they practice are low-level, so they can't beat strange creatures at all, and they can't go into the wilderness to explore...】 The Sixteenth-level member said a lot.

Explaining in all aspects why this path is not possible.

Like the prisoner's dilemma, they understand how to change their fate, but the sad thing is that they don't have the ability to do so.

This post became popular, inexplicably popular.

It allowed cultivators to see a different world, and at the same time changed the fate of many people.

Many cultivators discovered that there were such forces in remote areas.

It just so happened that their cultivation was okay, so should they go to such a place and become a founding ancestor, and accept some disciples to support themselves?

There were really quite a few cultivators who did this.

They all didn't do well in the big cities, especially the large cities.

They were lamenting where they should go in the future, but they didn't expect to discover a new path.

Precisely because of their actions, more remote places ushered in opportunities to change their fate.

Just like Taoist Wang of the Divine Talisman Sect, regardless of whether he exploited the people of the Divine Talisman Sect, let's just say whether he brought these disciples opportunities to change their fate?

He really changed them.

This was an unexpected gain from the Hundred Arts Competition.

In all aspects, the entire cultivation world has brought new changes due to this competition.

And the competition is still continuing. After the fifth day, the top ten of each group were finally determined.

Immediately, the top ten of each group were announced to the public on the Listening Tower's list.
