Chapter 1120: The Demon Monarch Demands Justice

The reward offered by Shen Xuan was extremely tempting, making it impossible for True Monarch Tian Gong to refuse.

The condition was a complete inheritance of Tier Three Puppets that a Foundation Establishment Cultivator could control!

Such a condition, so weighty that even True Monarch Tian Gong was moved and amazed upon hearing it.

Initially, he was somewhat skeptical.

Until Shen Xuan presented a Tier Three Thunder Peng Puppet with a wingspan of several yards and feathers shrouded in faint thunder, allowing a Cyan Cloud Sect Foundation Establishment Perfection disciple to test it on the spot.

That disciple controlled the Thunder Peng Puppet, soaring into the sky, swift and nimble, as if it were an extension of his own arm.

Compared to a real Thunder Roc Demon King, it was even slightly faster.

The installed thunder cannon’s attack power was equally matched.

Moreover, it feared no pain and ignored consumption.

Upon witnessing this scene, True Monarch Tian Gong’s eyes changed instantly.

His breathing quickened, his face flushed, and his excitement was evident.

With such a powerful inheritance in hand, mass-producing such puppets…

Why should the Thousand Mechanism Sect not flourish!

Why fear other sects coveting!

In fact, Shen Xuan had intended to collaborate with the Thousand Mechanism Sect to further improve and optimize the mass production of the Thunder Peng Puppets.

This current one, although achieving the basic goal, used expensive materials and was complex to refine, making it difficult to mass-produce and popularize.

Professional matters should be left to professionals.

Shen Xuan wanted to focus his main efforts entirely on cultivating the Tai Chi Golden Core.

Strive to condense his Nascent Soul as soon as possible.

This was an excellent opportunity to win over True Monarch Tian Gong and jointly pursue a great venture.

Indeed, as expected.

Even an Artifact Refining Grandmaster, a Nascent Soul True Monarch, has an unextinguished fire within, longing to create a world-shocking masterpiece and achieve eternal fame.

Shen Xuan catered to their interests, and the two sides immediately hit it off, reaching a cooperation agreement.

The two families jointly invested resources, collaborated to develop a new type of puppet, and shared future profits.

True Monarch Tian Gong personally stationed there, with thousands of Thousand Mechanism Sect disciples working day and night.

On Starlight Island, a wave of large-scale construction, large-scale recruitment, and large-scale trade surged…

The entire island was bustling with activity, full of enthusiasm.

The air was permeated with an increasingly fervent atmosphere of progress.

Teahouses and taverns all over the island were bustling with people, fully occupied.

Everywhere, cultivators were eager, their eyes gleaming, intending to seize their opportunity in this grand tide.

Countless cultivators on Starlight Island carried a strange excitement, their eyes glittering with barely contained exhilaration.

They seemed to see an unprecedented, opportunity-filled glorious era unfolding on this heated land beneath their feet.

…

Cyan Cloud Sect, Ling Xiao Peak, Assembly Hall.

The hall was solemn, and the atmosphere was heavy.

True Master Ling Xiao sat in the main seat, his expression calm and composed.

He had been firmly seated in the position of Sect Leader of the Cyan Cloud Sect for more than forty years.

The former structure of the sect’s six Golden Core cultivators had long since changed dramatically.

Spirit Sword True Monarch had condensed his Nascent Soul, retired in success, and retreated to Spirit Sword Peak, focusing on cultivation with no concern for mundane affairs.

Mysterious Trace True Master had failed to prove his path to Nascent Soul and was now missing.

Hidden Image True Master, with his years advancing and lifespan nearing its end, had long since closed his doors, avoiding visitors, and secluding himself completely.

Remaining were True Master Tian Feng and True Master Tian Lei, sitting on either side of True Master Ling Xiao at this moment.

Their expressions were solemn and unsmiling, intimidating to behold.

Seated below was True Master Cold Jade, in charge of the Alchemy Hall.

The entire sect knew well that True Master Cold Jade seldom involved herself in the specific affairs of the Alchemy Hall.

All miscellaneous affairs were handled by her Direct Disciple, Liu Bingyu.

Strictly speaking, Liu Bingyu only took care of coordination, bridging communication up and down.

The vast majority of the Cyan Cloud Sect’s alchemical tasks were actually outsourced to Starlight Island for refining.

The Alchemy Hall itself only refined some basic elixirs as supplements.

For any slightly valuable or slightly higher-tier elixirs, none were undertaken by anyone but Starlight Island.

It was inevitable.

Starlight Island had a high pill success rate, superior quality, and affordable costs.

In alchemy, cost-effectiveness must be considered ultimately.

Despite this, True Master Cold Jade still firmly held the top position among Cyan Cloud Sect’s True Pills.

Not only due to her profoundness in the Ice Technique, formidable combat power, and still holding the title of the Alchemy Hall.

But also because she had a Direct Disciple, True Master Profound Ice.

A Divine Power Realm Body Refining Grandmaster, a Tier Four Great Cultivator, formidable and respected across nations!

By the same token, following her, in the next seat was True Master Gu Feng.

She was even more leisurely than True Master Cold Jade, holding no position within the sect, free and unfettered like a carefree wanderer.

True Master Cold Jade still diligently practiced, her Ice Technique nearing True Pill Perfection.

Although the hope to condense a Nascent Soul was dim, she remained relentless, delving into the Ice Technique Divine Powers.

Meanwhile, True Master Gu Feng’s cultivation had stalled at the True Pill Middle Stage to this day.

She had long since let go of the path forward and had no intention to advance.

However, her status was special.

She was the mentor who led True Master Profound Ice into the sect.

Just for this reason alone, no other True Pill in the Cyan Cloud Sect dared, nor wished, to rank above her.

The rest of the True Masters, there were little changes.

True Master Tong Xuan of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, True Master Chong Xu of the Array Hall, True Master Jade Sun of the Artifact Refining Hall, True Master Chang Chun of the Spirit Plant Hall, and the Five Immortal City Guardian True Masters, and several newly promoted True Masters in recent years…

Among them, True Master Chang Chun’s position advanced slightly due to his contributions to cultivating spirit plants, coupled with his seniority and high virtue.

True Master Zhi Yi, a Direct Disciple of the Spirit Sword True Monarch, had long assumed the role of Lord of Tianbao Immortal City, ranking at the top among new True Masters.

True Master Xuan Yuan, a Direct Disciple of Mysterious Trace True Master, followed after True Master Zhi Yi.

After his master went missing, True Master Xuan Yuan became silent and reticent.

In recent years, apart from managing his own Xuan Yuan Peak, he focused solely on handling trade matters between Starlight Island and the Barbaric Wilderness Demon Race.

He expressed virtually no opinions on other sect affairs.

The other three new True Masters, with shallow qualifications and unremarkable combat strength, remained prudent and rarely spoke.
