Rising from Small Cloud Rain Technique

Cyan Dragon spoke with all the Qi Refining Cultivators and instructed:

“Xiong Ba, have Black Hawk escort them away and then return. I have something to entrust to you.”

“As you command.”

Xiong Ba left the grotto mansion and relayed Cyan Dragon’s orders.

Black Hawk bared his teeth, “Doing hard labor again!”

He lightly leaped up, and black smoke billowed.

When the smoke cleared, he had turned into a giant eagle.

Powerful claws seized two people, and the demonic wind swirling from his body lifted six others, rising into the sky like a dark cloud, quickly turning into a black dot in the distance.

He could use a Flying Ship like a magical artifact, but he preferred this unrestrained flight.

Xiong Ba withdrew his gaze and turned back to the grotto mansion.

Cyan Dragon said calmly:

“The Three Sects have been operating in the Western Continent for many years; we mustn’t allow them to catch their breath. Otherwise, the order in the Western Continent will be restored, and trying to capitalize on the chaos to establish the Celestial Demon Alliance will become much more difficult.

The next step is to continue spreading Demonic Cultivation Techniques, allowing human cultivators to kill each other and exhaust the sects in the process.

The families that have turned into Demon Cultivators should be reserved for future use as they have significant roles to play.”

In the war, though the Three Sects revealed their foundations and fangs, those Demon Beasts showed no substantial results.

Since the war began, the only Golden Core Cultivator to fall in Western Zhou was indirectly killed by him during a surprise attack.

Even as a Golden Core Perfection Demon Cultivator, facing a siege by many Golden Core powers from the Western Continent would be overwhelming.

Thus, Cyan Dragon’s plan is to play the long game, cutting away at the sects’ potential like slicing flesh with a dull knife.

The existence of the sects relies on a continuous influx of outstanding disciples, sourced from cultivation clans and excellent Loose Cultivators. His plan can be considered a strategy of extermination.

“Additionally, you must continue to capture mortals for breeding. The development of the Celestial Demon Alliance also needs a continuous supply of new blood.”

Meanwhile, we must continue sending Qi Refining Stage Celestial Demon Alliance Cultivators to Yuanhe Mountain, slowly infiltrating this sect and eventually dismantling Yuanhe Mountain.”

Xiong Ba scratched his head, revealing a clear yet foolish gaze:

“Master, I feel that such a method cannot dismantle a Golden Core Sect.”

Not to mention that the number of Qi Refining Demon Cultivators sent there only represents a small portion, and as these Demon Cultivators grow, they will inevitably come into contact with the sect’s upper echelons.

By then, the risk of exposure will greatly increase.

A sect with a heritage spanning thousands of years should not be careless with its legacy.

Cyan Dragon laughed lightly, his parted mouth resembling an abyss:

“A frontal dismantling is, of course, impossible. What I aim for is to hinder Yuanhe Mountain’s development.

Once those Demon Cultivators within the sect reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, they will be ordered into various miscellaneous departments.

By finding the opportunity to kill those Low-Tier disciples in one night, we can delay their development by decades.

As time progresses, it will become increasingly difficult for the sects to recruit disciples externally; they won’t be able to hold on for much longer.”

Cyan Dragon knew among Yuanhe Mountain’s two Golden Core Daoist Masters, Master Beichen has less than a hundred years of life remaining, while Nanshan Zhenren has just over two hundred years left.

Yuanhe Mountain would strive to cultivate new Golden Core Cultivators, paying much less attention to Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining Stage disciples.

He still had many arrangements he hadn’t revealed, intending to suppress Yuanhe Mountain personally when the time came.

As for why Yuanhe Mountain was chosen as the primary target, it was because they suffered the most casualties in the war and were the weakest.

Add a bit more fuel to the fire, and even if their legacy isn’t severed, they will be weaker.

The basis of the Three Sects’ close-knit relationship is built on equal strength.

If a ’weakling’ emerges, the original balance will be broken.

By then, the other two sects will surely develop different intentions.

…

Chu Huai’ge’s Spiritual Artifact was very special, resembling an Array Disc, with it sparkling in five colors: red, yellow, white, black, and blue.

While Flying Escape, the Spiritual Artifact sprayed out five-colored ribbon-like air currents.

His facial features were lean, with a few strands of black beard floating on his chest, his gaze deep and contemplative as if pondering something.

At this moment, Ji An was piloting the Flying Shuttle circling the eastern side of Red Flame Peak when he saw the dazzling five-colored light flying in his direction and immediately controlled his magical artifact to intercept.

When they met, he cupped his hands in salute and said with a gentle smile:

“Is it possible that this person is Brother Chu Huai’ge of that year? I am Ji An, at your service.”

Yesterday, his master sent a Communication Golden Sword to inform him that the teleportation array at Ningcui Cliff was completed. Today, at 7:00 AM, Chu Huai’ge would come to Red Flame Peak to construct a Magic Array.

Chu Huai’ge returned the salute with a kind smile and said:

“A few days ago, I received an order to go out on sect business and missed your Chao Origin ceremony. Please forgive me.”

As he spoke, he took out a wooden box, gestured with the Object Control Technique to send it out, and said:

“I heard that you, Junior Brother, love collecting various rare Spirit Seeds. Here I have a Tier Two Lower Grade Bodhi Tree Seed as a gift!”

This new junior brother, young as he was, was already among the ranks of Chao Origin Stage Cultivators and was worth befriending.

Ji An accepted the box, opened it, and saw a thumb-sized elliptical seed lying quietly on the red silk.

The seed’s surface was smooth and had the luster of Black Jade. When he probed it with his Divine Sense, he immediately felt a serene aura arise.

“The gift from Senior Brother is exactly what I urgently need, gratefully accepted.

When I cultivate the Bodhi Tree to the Tier Two level, I will be sure to gift Senior Brother some Bodhi Fruit and Bodhi Leaves each year.”

Ji An made a solemn promise; it is said that the Bodhi Tree is not originally a Spirit Plant of this continent but was brought over by a Buddhist Cultivator from an Exotic Continent, regarded as a sacred tree symbolizing wisdom and enlightenment.
