Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

The Resource Hall was located in the mountain area between the main peak, Azure Cloud Peak, and other peaks.

It was the resource management and distribution center for the entire sect, overseen by Elder Cao Yan of the Resource Hall, with many Resource Hall deacons and stewards below him.

Today was the beginning of the month, and all inner sect disciples and above went to the Resource Hall to collect their monthly resource stipend.

Resource stipends were divided into two types: Lower Grade Saint Spirit Pills and Spirit Essence Pills.

Spirit Essence Pills were First Grade Saint Pills, further divided into Elementary, Intermediate, and Advanced.

Elite disciples received Elementary Spirit Essence Pills, Core disciples received Intermediate Spirit Essence Pills, and Direct disciples received Advanced Spirit Essence Pills.

Although the effect of Advanced Spirit Essence Pills was not as good as the Saint Spirit Hundred Herb Liquid, it could still provide Saint Spirit Essence Qi for cultivators below the Saint King Realm, but compared to the Hundred Herb Liquid, the grandeur of the Saint Spirit Essence Qi was significantly different.

At this time, it was approaching noon, and most of the sect disciples had already left after receiving their stipends, but due to the large number of sect members, there were still many disciples gathered at the Resource Hall.

When Jun Wuxie arrived here, he attracted a lot of attention.

That day in front of the mountain gate, he appeared with True Person Chengyuan, and everyone in the sect knew that he was the body cultivator who had passed the Road of Legends during the entry assessment.

Many inner sect disciples looked at him with envy, but also with fear.

However, those disciples above the elite level looked at him with completely different eyes, with a hint of mockery and contempt in their envy.

This body cultivator was indeed very talented, making them deeply envious, but it was a pity that the body cultivator's realm was very low and difficult to break through.

In terms of realm, they were far ahead.

In Azure Cloud, one could be promoted from an inner sect disciple to an elite disciple upon entering the Middle Heaven Realm of a Saint; upon entering the Great Heaven Realm, one could be promoted to a Core disciple; upon entering the Extreme Heaven Realm, if one could obtain the approval of the Chief, one could be promoted from a Core disciple to a Direct disciple.

However, it was not easy to obtain the Chief's approval and be personally accepted as a disciple, and it was not just a matter of reaching the realm.

"I heard that this person passed the test of the Road of Legends in the entry assessment, even more impressive than Senior Brother Qin Yi back then."

"Hmph, Senior Brother Qin Yi is exceptionally talented, and his cultivation speed is like divine assistance. Now he is already a Saint King Realm expert. This person is just a body cultivator, what's the use of having a high talent growth rate? How dare you compare him with Senior Brother Qin Yi? Is he worthy?"

"They are not even on the same level. Senior Brother Qin Yi can crush him as easily as crushing an ant, just a matter of moving a finger. One is a Saint, one is a Saint King, separated by a natural chasm."

"Senior Brother Qin Yi is the bright moon in the sky, the most dazzling genius of our Azure Cloud, and what is this Jun Wuxie? Just a body cultivator with a bleak future, not even worthy of being a firefly on the ground."

"Hahaha, well said, the gap between him and Senior Brother Qin Yi will only grow bigger and bigger. Because Senior Brother Qin Yi's cultivation speed is amazing, he cultivated from Saint to Saint King in the first ten years, and now that the great era is coming and the environment of heaven and earth has changed, the cultivation speed will only be faster, but this Jun Wuxie, even if he waits another ten years, I'm afraid he won't even be able to break through the Minor Heaven Realm of a Saint."

"I don't know what the Chief of True Martial Peak is thinking, actually treating this body cultivator as a treasure. He's just a gold-devouring beast, not to mention wasting resources, but also destined to make no progress. How can our Azure Cloud support such a person?"

"Look at him, claiming to have a high talent growth rate, with an arrogant look, even when he sees our elite and core disciples, he doesn't come over to pay his respects respectfully, how unreasonable!"

… …

Many people in the Resource Hall were talking about it, and many of the elite and core disciples were very dissatisfied with him. Their words were very impolite and targeted, and no one spoke kindly to him.

In their opinion, this person, a body cultivator, actually passed the test of the Road of Legends, and in this regard, he even surpassed their idol, Senior Brother Qin Yi, which was simply absurd.

However, they did not stand up and point at Jun Wuxie to say it, but gossiped on the side.

Jun Wuxie naturally heard all these voices as he walked along.

He didn't bother to argue with these people as long as they didn't stand up to provoke him.

This was a huge plaza, and some people who had come to collect their stipends or had already collected their stipends but had not left were catching up with acquaintances here.

At the end of the plaza, there was a very large building, which was the resource management and distribution office, and also the place where people from the sect received pills.

There were many windows set up there, and each window was full of people.

Many of the windows had a sign hanging on them, which read: Core Disciples and Direct Disciples Priority.

Jun Wuxie's eyes searched for a moment, and he soon saw his senior brothers and sisters in the crowd waiting in line.

Fourth Senior Brother Han Ye was pushing First Senior Brother, and Third Senior Sister Yun Shu was pushing Second Senior Sister. They were lined up at the very back of the line.

From time to time, core disciples would come to cut in line, causing them to wait here for a long time without ever getting to the front.

At this time, he saw Third Senior Sister pushing Second Senior Sister, and Fourth Senior Brother pushing First Senior Brother away from the line at that window and walking towards another window.

As soon as they headed towards that window, core disciples immediately rushed in front of them and lined up in front of that window, and even some elite disciples came.

Seeing such a scene, a burst of anger suddenly rushed to Jun Wuxie's head.

From the symbols on their clothes, it could be seen that those who were deliberately making things difficult were from Thunder Peak, Cloud Hidden Peak, and Azure Cloud Peak.

Core disciples dared to run wild in front of the direct disciples, and even elite disciples dared to do so.

Who exactly gave them the confidence, and who was backing them?

"You guys are going too far!"

Fourth Senior Brother Han Ye, who had always been a man of few words, looked at those people with a cold face, his eyes burning with anger.

"Hahaha, Senior Brother Han Ye, what do you mean by that? Could it be that this window belongs to your True Martial Peak, and we can't line up?"

A core disciple revealed a playful look.

"You are getting more and more rampant!" Yi Ling said with a frosty face, coldly, "A bunch of Great Heaven Realm and Middle Heaven Realm Saints, are your skins itching?"

"Oh, Senior Sister Yi Ling is angry." A core disciple looked surprised, then pretended to pat his forehead and said, "I almost forgot, Senior Sister Yi Ling and Senior Brother Han Ye are the direct disciples of the Chief of True Martial Peak, experts in the Extreme Heaven Realm of Saints, tsk tsk, please forgive my disrespect."

"Senior Brother Fei Yu, you have angered the direct senior brothers and sisters of True Martial Peak, what should we do, we are so scared. Are they more powerful than Senior Brother Qin Yi?"

"Hey, Junior Brother Lu Su, they are only worthy of carrying Senior Brother Qin Yi's shoes!" The one named Fei Yu said with a mocking face, "Now the Sect Leader is letting Senior Brother Qin Yi help manage the sect affairs, who dares to mess around? Is there a problem with us lining up here?"

"Well, I don't see any problem. Senior Brother Qin Yi also said that True Martial Peak is not good, wasting the sect's resources for nothing." The core disciple named Lu Su laughed and said, "Senior Sister Yi Ling, Senior Brother Han Ye, don't think that you are Extreme Heaven Realm Saints, when the Four Sects Tournament comes, you will still embarrass the sect. What, you can't beat the direct disciples of other sects, can you only bully your own?"

"Come on, make a move!" Lu Su pointed at his nose and said to Yi Ling and Han Ye, "If you have the guts, hit me, I really want to be beaten, my skin is very itchy now, come on. If you dare to make a move, see if you can still receive resources next month! You don't dare? Hahaha!"

He laughed very arrogantly, and everyone in the plaza was watching here, some with sympathy on their faces, some gloating, and some with a sneer on their lips.

Yi Ling and Han Yi were so angry that their faces turned pale.

Nan Jin and Yun Shu grabbed their hands, signaling them to calm down.

Behind these people was Qin Yi, who was favored by the sect's high-level officials, and now that he had climbed up to Princess Anning, his status in the sect was even more prominent.

He was the only person among all the sect's disciples who could ignore the sect rules.

"What, still not making a move? Didn't you just say that our skins were itchy?"

Fei Yu and Lu Su laughed wildly, looking at Yi Ling and others with great disdain, and said, "Do you know what it means to be a wise man submits to circumstances? Two of you from True Martial Peak are already disabled, and two more disabled will be added after next year's Four Sects Tournament. At that time, I'm afraid there won't even be anyone to push the wheelchairs, hahaha! Just thinking about it is sad…"

Pa!

Before the two of them could finish speaking, they only felt a blur in front of their eyes, followed by severe pain on their faces, buzzing in their brains, as if they were about to split open, and their entire bodies flew out horizontally.

Instantly, all the disciples in the entire plaza were stunned.

Everyone looked at the person who suddenly appeared in front of the several direct disciples of True Martial Peak as if teleporting.

It was that body cultivator!

How could he have such speed, and he even slapped two core senior brothers away.

Fei Yu and Lu Su were completely stunned, fell to the ground, covered their cheeks, spat out a mouthful of blood, looked at the molars in the blood, their faces quickly turned livid, and suddenly raised their heads to stare at the person who made the move.

"Jun Wuxie, you are just an inner sect disciple, how dare you attack core disciples, defying your superiors, even if we kill you in public today, it would not be an exaggeration!"

The two scrambled to their feet, spitting out a mouthful of blood, their eyes full of ferocity and coldness.

With their status, they were the highest in the sect with hundreds of thousands of disciples, except for direct disciples. When had they ever been slapped in public?

Today, under carelessness, they had suffered such humiliation!

The one who slapped them was still a newly entered body cultivator, a member of the True Martial Peak lineage that they looked down on the most!

"You are seeking your own death!"

Fei Yu and Lu Su were furious, and the aura of the Great Heaven Realm of Saints was released, and Saint Spirit True Qi formed a tornado around their bodies like a whirlwind, and they strode towards Jun Wuxie.

"Junior Brother, protect Second Senior Sister!"

Yi Ling was afraid that he would suffer a loss, and hurriedly stood in front of him.

"Third Senior Sister, protect Second Senior Sister. No matter what happens today, do not interfere!"

Jun Wuxie pulled Yi Ling behind him. His gaze turned instantly cold and sharp as he walked towards Fei Yu and Lu Su, who were approaching menacingly with murderous intent.

"A mere body cultivator who has just entered the Saint Realm dares to act presumptuously here! Kneel before me!"

Fei Yu and Lu Su roared, their footsteps heavily pounding the ground. True energy surged forth, impacting Jun Wuxie, attempting to suppress him and force him to kneel in public humiliation.

However, they discovered that their true energy dissipated completely three inches away from Yue Wuxie.

A faint crimson bloody aura flowed around his body, blocking their true energy.

"I told you to kneel!"

Fei Yu was enraged. He, a dignified Great Celestial Saint, had failed to suppress a body cultivator who had just entered the Saint Realm with his aura.

As he spoke, he extended his palm, suppressing downwards from the sky.

Saintly true energy surged, coalescing into a large hand seal. With a buzzing sound, it created a sonic boom, rumbling as it pressed down.

Jun Wuxie sneered, ignoring the suppression of the true energy hand. He stood with his hands behind his back and strode forward.

The instant his foot landed, crystalline crimson blood energy surged forward like a rushing river.

Fei Yu and Lu Su were greatly alarmed. They felt an irresistible force surge towards them and immediately defended.

Boom!

Their bodies were instantly blasted away, coughing up blood as they crashed heavily to the ground.

This scene shocked everyone present, leaving them dumbfounded.

Fei Yu and Lu Su were core disciples, powerful experts in the Great Celestial Saint Realm.

The body cultivator Yue Wuxie had not even attacked, yet the blood energy from his footsteps alone had blasted them away.

How could he be so strong?

At this moment, Nan Jin, Yun Shu, Yi Ling, and Han Ye were all stunned.

They knew their Junior Brother was strong, with an extremely high aptitude for growth, having entered the legendary realm, but they had not expected him to be so strong. He had crossed two stages, a full ten minor realms, so easily, crushing Fei Yu and Lu Su to the point of vomiting blood.

"Empty realms, utterly weak."

Jun Wuxie stepped forward, his eyes indifferent, his contempt unconcealed.

Fei Yu and Lu Su felt the sharp pain in their internal organs, their faces ashen.

The killing intent in their eyes was intense to the point of being unbearable.

"What are you all waiting for? This person is new to the sect, an inner disciple, yet he dares to defy his superiors in public. He is provoking Senior Brother Qin Yi's authority! Everyone, attack together and cleanse our Qingyun Sect! How can we allow such a brutal person to remain within the sect!"

They shouted at the other core and elite disciples.

The core and elite disciples looked at each other, and then a large number of people stepped forward.

"Yue Wuxie, your methods are brutal, and you defy your superiors. Today, we will cleanse the sect!"

Over a hundred core and elite disciples stepped forward, instantly surrounding Jun Wuxie.

"You are going too far!"

Yi Ling and Han Ye were about to step forward to help.

"Third Senior Sister, Fourth Senior Brother, this matter has nothing to do with you. Do not interfere!"

Jun Wuxie stopped them and secretly told them through sound transmission that he could handle it.

Yi Ling and Han Ye were stunned and retreated to the side of Senior Brother Nan Jin and Second Senior Sister Yun Shu, but their faces still showed deep worry.

So many people were surrounding Junior Brother. How would he cope?

They watched nervously, ready to help at any moment.

There were many sect disciples on this plaza, numbering tens of thousands.

Most were inner disciples, with only a few thousand elite disciples and a few hundred core disciples.

The hundred or so people who stepped out from among the elite and core disciples were all fanatical admirers of Qin Yi and those who held the most prejudice against the True Martial Peak.

"Kneel and repent!"

The hundred or so people surrounded Jun Wuxie, their voices stern and their expressions fierce.

"Do you really think that my True Martial Peak is easy to bully?"

Jun Wuxie swept his gaze over them, the anger in his heart constantly boiling.

"True Martial Peak? Your lineage is like this in our Qingyun Sect!" Someone made a thumbs-down gesture, mocking, "At every Four Sect Tournament, you are the ones who lose the most miserably, always beaten into cripples! The disciples of your True Martial Peak are just a bunch of useless trash who only know how to consume resources! Don't think that just because there are still two intact ones now, they will all be crippled next year!"

"People like you are already shameless enough to come to the Resource Hall to collect pills, yet you dare to act fierce and violent here. Who gave you the confidence?"

"Hmph, don't think that by preventing Yi Ling and Han Ye from interfering, they can stay out of this. When Senior Brother Qin Yi comes, they won't be able to escape the consequences!"

"Heh, at that time, even your useless crippled Senior Brothers and Sisters will be punished!"

"Kneel!"

They attacked, true energy sweeping in from all directions.

"Damn it!"

Jun Wuxie's anger had reached an unbearable level. The True Martial Peak was shielding the sect from disaster and shedding blood for it, yet they had been reduced to being bullied by their own people.

Faced with the surrounding true energy pressure, a cold light burst out in his eyes. His right foot quickly lifted and slammed down with a boom.

The moment his foot landed on the ground, the entire plaza trembled.

Crystalline crimson blood energy instantly erupted, like a roaring mountain torrent, sweeping in all directions with a rumble.

The true energy of the hundred or so people directly collapsed, unable to withstand the impact of the blood energy.

Instantly, all of them were swept into the sky by the blood energy, and then they crashed to the ground like dumplings, covered in blood.

Their muscles and internal organs were all shattered by the blood energy, and large amounts of blood poured out of their mouths.

"You…"

At this moment, these core and elite disciples were frightened, their faces filled with horror.

Wasn't this person a body cultivator who had just entered the Saint Realm?

How could he be so strong?

A hundred of them were no match for him!

"Kneel before me!"

Jun Wuxie shouted coldly, and blood energy swept out, blasting those people into the air again.

The crimson blood enveloped their bodies and pressed down with a rumble, making it difficult for them to control their bodies. They were forced to kneel on the ground with a crash. Their kneecaps shattered from the heavy impact, blood splattered, and they let out miserable screams of pain.

"Bastard, stop it!"

A voice came like a thunderclap. Almost at the same time, the person arrived in the arena.

It was a young man in his twenties or thirties, with a gloomy face and cold eyes, staring at Jun Wuxie as he approached step by step.

Around his body, saintly true energy swirled, coalescing into azure clouds, emanating a powerful aura that made many people present feel suffocated.

"Senior Brother He Qi, Senior Brother He Qi is here!"

"Yue Wuxie, you madman, you are doomed today!"

"Senior Brother He Qi, quickly suppress and kill this beast!"

…

Those who were forced to kneel on the ground, their faces full of humiliation, were originally filled with fear, but at this moment, they all grinned hideously.

He Qi, one of the personal disciples of the Sect Leader, had arrived. This He Qi always followed Senior Brother Qin Yi's lead and had secretly targeted the True Martial Peak many times, so he would definitely support them today.
