"Disciple shall take leave first; Master, do not work too hard." freeωebnovēl.c૦m
"Alright, go about your duties. I won’t get bogged down in details." The old man chuckled, "Your master has an open mind, unlike some seniors who grow more curious the less they understand, ultimately driving themselves insane trying to glimpse the celestial secrets.
Peering into celestial secrets should follow the natural Daoist technique. What we are meant to see will naturally be revealed; what we are not meant to see indicates insufficient cultivation, and rather than forcing it, we should focus on tranquil cultivation."
Cang Rui hurriedly departed, then reconsidered and sent a message back to the ancestor, inquiring how to negotiate to increase the chance of success.
Ling Di had just calmed down from the excitement of receiving the Heaven-Swallowing Divine Dog inheritance when he received the reply, and couldn’t help but feel that little Cang Rui had finally become enlightened. Yet how to move all those sect disciples of the Cloud Concealment Sect into the small courtyard was quite troubling.
Knowing that the small courtyard is the topmost place in the world, closest to the Immortal Celestial Realm, as the ancestor of the Cloud Concealment Sect, he certainly wanted his disciples to benefit.
Menghua Treasure Ship and the Immortal Mountain Palace of the air could definitely accommodate them, but the question was whether the owner was willing to take on an entire sect of cultivators?
In what capacity could the Cloud Concealment Sect reside? Where would they live?
Thousands of sect disciples rushing in would inevitably lead to a sharp decline in the abundant spiritual energy in the small courtyard, and having all disciples use spirit stones for cultivation wasn’t practical.
"What to do? How to start?" He lay by the window, more worried than ever, even the joy from obtaining the Heaven-Swallowing Divine Dog was gradually overshadowed.
A massive world fragment appeared in view again, and the Immortal Shuttle began to decelerate as it approached.
Yun Shu tidied his clothes and said with a smile, "Sir, I’ll go greet them now!"
"Go on, you are already adept at the reception tasks, no need for further instructions, act as the situation requires." Jiang Yuan, busy crafting the second paper Gundam, gestured for her to handle everything.
The Immortal Shuttle, powered solely by burning Immortal Jade, required no intervention from him other than selecting the destination on the Void Detector; Tang Qin also need not take over management, instead focused on cultivation in the tea room since there was nothing else to do.
Old Dog, heavy with thoughts, watched Yun Shu approach the vast fragment with ease, absent-mindedly.
The Immortal Shuttle was very quiet;
Upon exiting, Yun Shu was immediately showered with dust by the frenzied whirlwind.
"Such a massive desert, yet the spiritual energy is fairly abundant." She flew past the docking site’s deep yellow layers of stone mountains, and soon a vast, limitless desert unfolded before her, spreading its golden hue as dry, spiritual energy-rich air rushed forth.
To survive in such an environment, one must be a cultivator; a mortal couldn’t endure such intense heat.
The sky faintly displayed pale sunlight, yet the desert still emitted streams of heat capable of distorting visions. Looking around, apart from an occasional cluster of withered thorns, no living creature was visible.
Furious winds whipped up yellow sand, and people shielded by sand dunes divided into two groups.
The smaller group of about thirty to forty appeared indifferent, even slightly joyful. They were cultivators adept in Fire Attribute Techniques, unconcerned with the harsh environment.
"Have you reached a decision?" The leader clad in dark red attire coldly declared, "We initially agreed to send ten people daily with capture nets to hunt demon beasts near the shelter. Now the venomous demon scorpions are about to cause trouble again, yet no one is willing to take the initiative?"
The leader’s words spurred other fire attribute comrades to voice support, "After all, we’re all cultivators. To be so timid is disgraceful."
"Exactly! Last time, we don’t even know which divine spirit we prayed to, receiving a response with elixirs, spirit stones, and even bestowed capture nets.
Don’t forget, those venomous demon scorpions have been starved for a long time and hungrily eye us, intending to devour us. Without daily measures to eliminate them, their numbers will grow, and escape will be impossible!"
"Hurry up, why are you dawdling?"
......
The fire attribute individuals were visibly impatient, while more than a hundred cultivators separated from them seemed downcast.
"Fellow daoists’ cultivation attributes align with the environment. Last time you unexpectedly acquired numerous elixirs and spirit stones due to your greater strength and energy. You took most of the resources.
We cultivators with severely mismatched attributes are already physically unwell and lack sufficient elixirs and spirit stones for supplementation; the spiritual power cultivated painfully just barely sustains us against being scorched to death in the heat. We have no energy left to hunt."
A young man opposite complained breathlessly, "I possess an Ice Attribute, severely restrained by this fiery heat. How can I hunt fierce demon beasts?"
"Exactly! Sending ten people daily to hunt demon beasts was your rule established with physical dominance. Previously, there were elixirs and spirit stones to support us, allowing barely manageable actions. Today, with all materials exhausted, resisting the external heat is impossible."
"Moreover, capture nets vary in size; you took the larger nets for safety, while the smaller ones are far more challenging against demon beasts. We lack adequate spiritual power and effective capture nets, going out would be suicidal."
"Don’t forget how the materials were acquired through prayers from these elders who devotedly sought intervention from the heavens and deities, while you contributed nothing yet claimed the largest share."
"Absolutely! I watched it clearly back then; two hundred elixirs corresponded to two hundred cultivators seeking refuge here, intended to be fairly distributed for everyone. You seized more and still make such unreasonable demands, beware of divine punishment!"
The larger group included several members still nursing bruised faces.
