My construction materials are weird

"Sect Leader, Zhu Changxun is in a difficult position, forced into a corner, and wants to drag you down with him," a subordinate said within the Origin Array Sect.

"Hmph, they think we're easy to manipulate. Why don't they go bother Listening Tower?" Yuan Tianchun said without restraint in front of his confidants.

"Sect Leader, it's different for you. Although you are a disciple of the Mystic Master, you are only half-trained and have independently established your own power. According to the Mystic Master's personality, he won't particularly favor you... But Listening Tower is different. Although they don't have any direct disciples of the Mystic Master, the Merit Hall accounts for a large proportion. Whether it's Ji Zhongfu, cultivators from the minor worlds, or even Zhu Changxun and others, none of them dare to mess with Listening Tower. Besides, you probably wouldn't agree to it either, would you?"

The subordinate said with a wry smile.

There's no comparison, no way to compare.

Yuan Tianchun was just complaining. He himself knew the key role of Listening Tower, a place that controls secrets. It's best not to let creatures from the minor worlds interfere with such a force.

"What do you think is the best way to respond?" Yuan Tianchun asked.

"Sect Leader, at the root of it all is the problem with the Devil Principal. We should just answer truthfully," the subordinate said.

"What if we are dragged into the conflict?"

The subordinate said, "Sect Leader, you should just answer truthfully and say that their talent is not good enough."

"Haha, not bad."

"Sect Leader, what they think is their business. What we say is our problem. Concerning the three Supreme Treasures, the Mystic Master's opening up resources to our Origin Array Sect is already a great favor. We really don't have the qualifications to make any decisions."

"Mm!" Yuan Tianchun deeply agreed.

It's not that I'm unwilling to relax the restrictions, but there are real, unspeakable reasons. The suppression of the three Supreme Treasures is a special favor from the Mystic Master. How can I have the right to make decisions for the Mystic Master?

Moreover, the array formation is like the mathematics of the cultivation world, requiring a deep understanding of the rules of heaven and earth, then unraveling, analyzing, and combining them to form an array formation.

This requires a very high level of talent. Of the hundred arts of cultivation, array formation is the strongest.

Array formation requires understanding refining, refining array plates and flags, exploring pulse geography and magnetic fields, drawing talismans and engraving array inscriptions, and having a sufficient understanding of heaven and earth, oneself, and the field.

This is indeed a profound knowledge.

[Regarding the issue of the Devil Principal, I am deeply saddened. I never expected that this devil would use the array formations of my Origin Array Sect to commit such heinous acts. It is our responsibility, but it is also not our responsibility. Presumably, fellow cultivators are all aware of the 'knife theory.' We are just selling the knives. What the buyer does with the knives is not something we can decide...]

[In the future, we will definitely be more careful and cautious, and prudently sell to those with a bad reputation. However, array formation is a profound Dao, requiring continuous research and comprehension. We will not stop our progress... We will select the best of the best to strengthen our team, and live up to the Mystic Master's 'special grace' to my Origin Array Sect, and will surely guard this great path for the Mystic Master.]

— Yuan Tianchun, Origin Array Sect.

Yuan Tianchun replied, and his reply was even more interesting.

Not only did he not mention Ji Zhongfu, but he also ignored Zhu Changxun. You say your piece, and I'll say mine.

It was as if he didn't see the problem of opposition and division at all.

At the same time, he also pointed out with implication that we strictly screen and select those with higher talents. This is in response to the reason for not recruiting cultivators from the minor worlds.

He also said that array formation is a profound and difficult Dao, and it is not easy to learn, which is also a roundabout way of refusing.

Of course, the most important thing is to say that we are guarding the door for the Mystic Master, meaning that whether or not we recruit creatures from the minor worlds needs to consider the Mystic Master's opinion.

Although according to the Mystic Master's personality, he wouldn't care at all.

But his old man not caring is his business, and we can't fail to pay attention.

Or why don't you go ask the Mystic Master?

This is a very invincible response, very unsolvable.

At the same time, this is also telling Zhu Changxun not to drag us down. We have the Mystic Master's special grace, do you have it?

If you don't, then shut up.

...

The development of things often exceeded expectations. I didn't expect that the Devil Principal's incident would lead to Ji Zhongfu taking the opportunity to pry open the gate for cultivators from the minor worlds to reach higher places.

On the contrary, the members of the Town Evil Department who were worried were all dumbfounded.

They originally thought that revealing this mess would make everyone resent them even more, but they never expected that it would be deflected.

But this is just as well, just right for them to continue to delve deeper.

At the same time, Bi Xia and others also understood that no one in the real high-level truly supports the parasites, whether it is the parasites themselves or their relatives and friends.

There are no hidden dangers in attacking them.

Therefore, the clearing of the parasites is still ongoing, but they are also paying attention to the discussions online.

Ji Zhongfu relentlessly pursued, without expanding the target. He just wanted to pry open the door of the University Alliance first. He couldn't take care of the Origin Array Sect for the time being.

Allowing disciples from the minor worlds to fairly enjoy education is the most important thing.

[As everyone knows, continuous loss subsidies are not a long-term solution. I hope fellow Daoists from the minor worlds can understand the University Alliance. They have no choice but to do so. Perhaps things will get better in a while.]

A cultivator from the main world explained online for the University Alliance.

They also understood that doing so would benefit them, so of course they would side with the University Alliance.

[This fellow Daoist is simply talking nonsense. Although losses are not sustainable, we minor worlds can also provide financial support. The problem is that Alliance Leader Zhu and others are not accepting it... As for things getting better in a while, may I ask how long is 'a while'?]

A cultivator from the minor world responded.

In five or six days, two opposing discussion groups had formed.

The main world side, they were biased towards the University Alliance. The minor world side, they wanted to loosen the University Alliance's stance.

This was not organized by anyone, but freely formed under the influence of interests.

Some of the words were even very harsh and very dangerous.

It seemed to exceed Ji Zhongfu's expectations, and he was even worried and constantly paying attention to the discussions online.

His original intention was good, intending to take this opportunity to give the creatures of the minor worlds a chance to get closer, and incidentally consolidate his influence.

Although he disbanded his fourth-order God-Demon clansmen.

But that doesn't mean he has no plans at all. Wouldn't it be better to give up one minor world and become the leader of countless minor worlds?

Although there is a Minor World Alliance, one of the eight major powers.

But the Minor World Alliance mainly represents the major forces, that is, the major force groups in the minor worlds.

Not all cultivators in the minor worlds join forces. There is also a huge group of rogue cultivators.

This is a very large and complex group.

If the entire cultivation world is divided into levels, the first is the people of the four superpowers, the second is the eight major powers, the third is the rogue cultivators of the main world, and the fourth is the rogue cultivators of the minor worlds.

They have the lowest status, the fewest resources, and the most enemies.

It wasn't just competition between cultivators; there was also suppression from the forces of their respective small worlds.

A prime example of this was the suppression from the Small World Alliance.

That's right, you read that correctly. The group that hit them the hardest was their own people, the Small World Alliance, this force.

The Small World Alliance is a group that maintains the power of the small worlds, but it is not entirely a group that protects the small worlds.

It has to be looked at separately.

The Small World Alliance is like a large joint-stock company, and each small world's joining is equivalent to bringing capital to invest.

However, those who bring capital to invest are only a few people from each small world, the lucky ones who contacted the main world first.

They will transform from the identity of a small world creature into the identity of capital, and the source of their capital is their own small world.

But is it really that simple?

Does joining the Small World Alliance mean that the entire world is yours?

No, it doesn't. He just took the first step and was lucky enough to discover the main world.

Secrets can't be kept forever. The creatures of the entire small world could not be killed and exterminated by him. In the end, there will always be some who slip through the net and come to the main world and enter this cultivation era.

In this way, there is a contradiction.

These latecomers absolutely do not recognize those who joined the Small World Alliance as representing their world, nor do they recognize them as treating the resources of the entire world as their own.

So, conflict and hatred came.

The most brutal competition, the most brutal competition among cultivators, takes place in these small worlds.

Without error, one head, one hair, one inside, one appearance, one look!

It's the kind that destroys the whole family at the slightest provocation, full of vendettas and hostility.

These people are the group that Ji Zhongfu values, so Ji Zhongfu is still the number one enemy of the Small World Alliance among the Eight Greats.

Many people didn't expect this.

They think that Ji Zhongfu is just a restless rebel leader who is always dragging some poor rogue cultivators to oppose them, which seriously affects their control and plundering of their own world.

Many people don't know that Ji Zhongfu does have a little regret.

It's not that he regrets disbanding the clansmen of the God and Demon World, but that he regrets not leaving some means to enhance luck.

Now the problem has become prominent. Without strong luck, they really can't compete with the Four Supers and Eight Middles.

He set his sights on the Small World Alliance, which they thought was the easiest to fall apart, the easiest to disintegrate, and the easiest to replace.

As for why there was such a change, it has to start with a romantic encounter.

In short, after he no longer had the pressure of protecting his clansmen and the world's destruction, he had an accidental encounter with a woman who also came from a small world.

An unintentional rescue, and things unfolded.

He, who was at the second-order Tongxuan stage with a lifespan of thousands of years or more, had more free time because he was unconstrained and uninvolved.

Although he has a granddaughter, it doesn't prevent him from having new descendants.

However, he is currently hiding it very well and hasn't thought about how to make this issue public, as it will have a significant impact on his reputation.

Of course, perhaps no one cares. Who with power and influence doesn't have their own little thoughts? At most, they will be called romantic and a hero cannot resist the charms of a beautiful woman.

This is actually not important. Cultivators rely on strength.

With strength, you have everything.

Although it has not been exposed and made public, he has begun to plan for his children.

People are so fickle, and the human heart is so magical. Many heroic figures cannot escape, and he, Ji Zhongfu, cannot escape either.

The recent series of limelight is the beginning of his transformation, and also the beginning of the Four Supers relaxing their surveillance on him.

But at this moment, he was a little afraid. This is provoking opposition.

He didn't want to see this result. What he wanted was to earn a reputation and gather luck under the guise of planning for the interests of the small world, not to really provoke opposition.

"Master, what's wrong?"

A delicate beauty, looking only about twenty-eight years old, with an obviously pregnant belly, asked worriedly when she saw Ji Zhongfu frowning.

"It's nothing!" Ji Zhongfu looked at the beauty with an indescribable feeling of discomfort.

He had finally fallen into temptation after all. After jumping out of one trap, he didn't relax for too long before plunging into another trap.

This trap was one he willingly plunged into, and he couldn't blame anyone.

He could only blame himself for not being able to hold back and for not having the ability and perseverance to reject temptation.

Looking at the woman's bulging belly, he became even more determined. He had to do it for the sake of his child.

What if he had to bear some risk?

Thinking of this, he simply aroused his fighting spirit. Since that's the case, then so be it.

Changing the way of life and the environment, isn't that a kind of change and progress?

As a dignified second-order great cultivator who had comprehended the obsession with objects and most of his other obsessions, he could quickly adjust.

He had already prepared for being condemned by thousands of people, but he was going to move forward without hesitation.

"Go and rest. Don't upset the fetus. I'll take another look," Ji Zhongfu said gently.

The beauty smiled and nodded.

She understood what had happened, what it meant, and even more so why the master was doing this, so she was satisfied. She gently stroked her belly and smiled with relief.

Merit Hall.

A majestic hall, brilliant and dazzling.

"Chief Steward, are we not going to pay attention to it?" Xia Qing asked.

"Don't worry, reason can't be cleared up. Let's talk about it after I go into seclusion. I will leave seclusion in three months at most, and one month at the earliest. Let's talk about it then," Sun Tong waved his hand dismissively.

She is no longer the Sun Tong she once was. The current her is full of confidence in everything.

It may be based on strength, or it may be the growth of wisdom.

But more is the blessing of the common ground between the two.

"You?" Xia Qing asked excitedly.

"It's not entering the late stage, it's just a small improvement. It will still take time to enter the late stage," Sun Tong said.

"This... this is also very good. I heard that the sect leaders of the Four Supers have just stabilized their early stage cultivation. It's still too early to want to improve and enter the middle stage," Xia Qing said immediately.

"They are them, I am me. Can I be the same as them? Besides, the second-order Tongxuan is not that simple. Comprehension and will are okay, but the nurturing of the profound seed and the growth of the clone all take time."

It's not that Sun Tong is arrogant, it's that everything Xuanhuang gave her gave her the capital to be arrogant.

That beauty can be proud of Ji Zhongfu, why can't she be proud of Xuan Shi?

Besides, is he, Ji Zhongfu, worthy of being compared with Xuan Shi? This old guy has changed so fast.

"That is Xuan Shi's love for you. How can they compare with you? They are not worthy to carry your shoes."

Xia Qing is very good at handling things.

If you praise the Chief Steward, the Chief Steward may not be happy, but if you praise Xuan Shi, the Chief Steward will definitely be happy.

If you praise Xuan Shi's love for the Chief Steward, the Chief Steward will be even more happy.

She has figured it out after so many years as an old subordinate.
