My construction materials are weird

The disparity between major forces and rogue cultivators was too great, hence the emergence of the Three Thousand Cave Residences.

And this was an upgraded version.

Initially, when Sun Tong described how the Myriad Spirits Palace would drive the changes in Azure Cloud Mountain, leading to the appearance of the Three Thousand Cave Residences, the major forces were indeed envious.

But not to the extent of their current astonishment.

Especially Sun Tong's description of the nine supreme-grade cave residences. The grandmasters of the Four Great Sects didn't participate in this event, but if they were to find out, they would definitely be envious.

Especially the control over domains; this was a pre-emptive comprehension of the Third Order!

"We've suppressed the rogue cultivators too harshly," a master from one of the Four Great Sects said.

"Hmph, it's all the fault of the Eight Schools. Their actions of abandonment this time were excessive. It seems we need to step forward. If the Eight Schools continue like this, who knows what unexpected events might be triggered."

Some higher-ups from the Four Great Sects also blamed the Eight Schools.

Moreover, what he said was highly likely to be true.

It was precisely because the Eight Schools' behavior this time was so unsightly that people noticed the plight of the rogue cultivators.

"That's right, it must be so. When we were in control, although the rogue cultivators suffered, the Eight Schools weren't much better off. It was all about treating everyone equally. As soon as the Eight Schools came to power, they screwed over the rogue cultivators, which is why we're in this situation now."

"Indeed!"

The higher-ups of the Four Great Sects reached a consensus.

The members of the Eight Schools felt a chill run down their spines, realizing that they seemed to be the cause of this.

"Don't panic. Don't project your thoughts onto Master Xuan's. Master Xuan isn't dissatisfied with us; he's simply supporting the rogue cultivators. Don't think of Master Xuan as being like you."

This person continued, "Remember, whether it's us or the rogue cultivators, we are all disciples under Master Xuan. A teacher will at most support each side, and won't favor one side just because some disciples are stronger. If that were the case, how could there be the Azure Cloud Mountain we have today? Stay calm."

"Just watch. Competition is what drives progress."

Following the discussions of the Four Great Sects and the Eight Schools,

The competition for the Three Thousand Cave Residences officially began.

It was still entering the White Bone Pagoda for trials, but after entering, it was no longer just the White Bone Pagoda.

Xuan Huang pulled the White Bone Pagoda into the Bitter Sea Mind Dao Arena.

After entering the Third Order, Xuan Huang still couldn't leave Bitter Sea Jade Capital Mountain, indicating that the abilities of the Third Order were still insufficient.

Jade Capital Mountain was still as it was before, except its area had increased significantly.

In fact, long ago, Xuan Huang had given Lin Fan's crystal to Madam White Bone. Cultivators had been using this ability to temper their willpower and refine their minds.

Therefore, when Sun Tong said that this trial would be a dual test of the mind and will, the rogue cultivators weren't too surprised.

They had all been through trials in the White Bone Pagoda.

"Huff!"

The rogue cultivators exhaled and stepped into the White Bone Pagoda with firm strides.

Each level of the White Bone Pagoda was like a world, and the nine-level pagoda was nine worlds.

The White Bone Pagoda was now at the late stage of the Third Order in essence, and it was not just any late stage, but closer to the limit.

She had previously received instructions from Xuan Huang to walk the path of willpower, and later, with the integration of the crystal gemstone, she developed a path of mind-will harmony.

In addition, with the support and experience of the cultivators, the White Bone Pagoda had accumulated a profound foundation.

When the rogue cultivators entered the pagoda, they found that it had undergone a major transformation.

The previously gloomy and cruel environment was gone, replaced by a long staircase.

At this moment, a consciousness was transmitted into their souls.

They understood what kind of test they would face.

In short, this long staircase was the test.

There were a total of ninety-nine steps.

The higher the steps climbed, the higher the ranking, and the ranking determined the cave residence.

If there were more than nine people on the same step,

For example, for the nine supreme-grade cave residences, if there were ten or a dozen people on the same step, then the length of time they persisted would be the key to victory.

Whoever stayed on the same step longer would be the final candidate.

Of course, this was a special situation.

If the nine strongest people were not at the same level, it would be easier to solve, filtering them according to the number of levels climbed.

"All cultivators, listen to my command!"

Sun Tong, who had followed them in, issued an order.

"Begin!"

There were no impassioned words, no encouragement.

The rogue cultivators didn't need it at all; they would go all out.

With Sun Tong's order, some cultivators began to rush forward, wanting to seize the initiative, while others were calm and quiet, not climbing immediately.

Some looked around, observing the actions of others.

They were bustling and diverse, each different.

In the Myriad Spirits Palace, a mirror projection appeared in front of Xuan Huang, clearly showing the rogue cultivators in the trial.

Judging purely from cultivation, there was not a single Profound Transformation late-stage cultivator among the rogue cultivators, but there were nearly a hundred Profound Transformation mid-stage cultivators.

These hundred people were all famous among the rogue cultivators, each a legend, and each had their own unique encounters.

The generally recognized strongest few received a lot of attention, revealing envious gazes.

These people also began the trial of the ninety-nine-level mind-will path under the gaze of the crowd.

"Hmm!"

"So strong, so heavy!"

The first step gave them a stern warning.

"Hiss, it actually requires the true will of an early-stage entry into the Order?"

A rogue cultivator exclaimed.

"In this way, this first step will eliminate many fellow cultivators," this person thought again.

Sure enough!

"Ah!"

"Pfft!"

"Boom!"

In an instant, there was a scene of chaos, and many whose true will had not reached the fourth level of entry into the Order were knocked away by the huge will impact after stepping onto the first step.

Some were injured by stubbornly resisting, spitting out blood incessantly.

This was the gap and difference.

Although all the cultivators on Azure Cloud Mountain currently started with transcendence,

The unevenness of true will was shocking. Many hadn't even reached the mid-stage of entry into the Order.

They just had higher cultivation levels.

Although a true will of the early stage of entry into the Order could enter Profound Transformation, the mid-stage could step into Transcendent Profound, and the late stage could enter Cave Profound.

The cultivators' true will could support their continued progress in cultivation.

But the fact that so many true wills had not entered the mid-stage was still beyond many people's expectations.

Xuan Huang had mentioned the importance of will countless times, and it was also a recognized fact by the cultivators of Azure Cloud Mountain.

But there were always exceptions, always those who were embarrassed.

Like those who were eliminated in the first step.

It wasn't that they were angry with them; did they not want their will to be stronger?

No, they wanted to too.

It's just that they couldn't do it.

The tempering of will has always been like this, and there is no shortcut at all.

This was still on Azure Cloud Mountain. If it were in other places, this kind of problem would be even more serious.

"Fellow Daoist Lin An? He… what a pity!"

This person felt a pity when he saw that his friend had not passed the first level.

This person's name was Luo Feng. Saying it might sound familiar; it was the rogue cultivator who had greatly helped Wei Qiancheng before.

Following Wei Qiancheng's rise, Luo Feng, who had wholeheartedly helped him before, received Wei Qiancheng's return.

He not only ascended Qingyun Mountain, becoming one of the thirty thousand legends, but also grew stronger and stronger in these two years.

Especially in the tempering of his will, Luo Feng is very talented.

Who could have imagined that a rogue cultivator's true will has already reached the late stage of the Entering Realm, nearly eighty percent?

The sheer strength of his will, even placed among the four major forces, would be a top-tier existence.

It is said that the four head teachers are working hard to break through and enter the ninth level.

No mistake, one song, one hair, one inside, one face, one look!

If I remember correctly, the four head teachers' true will was at the eighth level, or even close to the ninth level of the Entering Realm, a year or two ago.

But after such a long time, they still haven't broken through to the ninth level of the Entering Realm.

Here, it can be seen that the further you go, the more difficult it is to temper and break through the will, let alone break through the Entering Realm's ninth level to achieve extraordinary will.

Luo Feng, a small rogue cultivator, with a true will close to the eighth level, shows his strength.

There is a saying that helping others also depends on their qualifications.

He somewhat sentimentally helped Wei Qiancheng back then, never imagining that the middle-aged, down-on-his-luck man who served him wine would achieve such success.

Conversely, Wei Qiancheng still hasn't broken contact with him, and the two remain good friends.

Why is that?

The reason is simple: this Luo Feng has strong enough talent and enough potential.

Wei Qiancheng confides in him and always treats him as a good friend for this reason.

If Luo Feng's talent was lacking, Wei Qiancheng would not still be helping him now and maintaining a friendly relationship.

Once the gap between the two is too large, they cannot be true friends.

It's not snobbery, but rather the environment and other factors that determine it.

"I told Daoist Lin An long ago that will is crucial, but he didn't listen, alas!"

Luo Feng himself is handling things with ease.

The first step of the platform, the middle stage of the Entering Realm, is very easy for him.

Therefore, he still has the leisure to observe his good friend.

Lin An was also a member who helped Wei Qiancheng in the beginning. The two of them stood out from the rogue cultivators in Nan City and gained the ability to gain a foothold on Qingyun Mountain, which sparked a lot of discussion.

Of course, it was mainly driven by Wei Qiancheng.

The two of them were considered to have 'struck gold' by helping Head Teacher Wei Qiancheng when he was at his lowest point.

"In this way, the three thousand cave dwellings are not destined for Daoist Lin An," Luo Feng said.

The current division of the number of people on Qingyun Mountain is: the four major factions each have two thousand, the eight medium factions each have five hundred, and the rest are rogue cultivators.

That is to say, the number of rogue cultivators on Qingyun Mountain is eighteen thousand.

Occupying the majority.

Previously, the four major factions each had a quota of three thousand people.

Why has it decreased?

Isn't it because they were challenged and defeated?

The four major factions also face competition. In the beginning, they had the advantage of having a large number of people, so each faction had three thousand people.

Even so, it was due to the constraints of Xuan Huang and the Hall of Merit, otherwise there would have been even more.

However, as time goes by, the early advantage gradually disappears. The four factions do have a large number of people, but it depends on who you compare them to.

Compared to the vast number of rogue cultivators, it is far behind.

Moreover, rogue cultivators are not simply rogue cultivators.

Many rogue cultivators on Qingyun Mountain are rogue cultivators, but outside, they also have their own families or sects.

They are the strongest and the hope of their entire family and sect, not within the sect or family, but establishing themselves on Qingyun Mountain to cultivate.

This is also a scene on Qingyun Mountain.

The head of a sect or the patriarch of a family does not sit in the old nest, and is not afraid of the people in his family rebelling?

This situation will never happen.

Even, it is an embarrassing scene if one's own patriarch and sect master cannot gain a foothold on Qingyun Mountain.

The cultivation world outside the four major and eight medium powers.

Once someone says: 'My sect master is one of the thirty thousand legends, seeking the Dao on Qingyun Mountain!'

Once this sentence is said, other sects and families will not dare to form enemies with them. This is the weight of Qingyun Mountain's foothold.

Of course, they will be driven out of Qingyun Mountain sooner or later.

For example, the moment they complete their studies, they will be driven away by the Xuan Masters.

But for now, those who can stay on Qingyun Mountain will never leave, and there is no need to worry about the family and sect at all.

To put it bluntly, the sect and family are not their help, but a burden.

Every Daoist friend without a sect or family lives more freely, and all the gains are their own.

It is different for those with families and sects, they must also think about their families and clansmen.

The points and resources earned by a cultivator who has a foothold on Qingyun Mountain are greater than the points and resources obtained by the entire sect and family.

This is the insurmountable chasm. Why is it called the Holy Land of Qingyun Mountain? This is it.

"Oh, this little guy seems to be good, with a true will close to the eighth level. Hmm... This is the 《Soul Division Technique》? No, it's a possession technique he created based on the Soul Division Technique? !"

Such a strong true will, and from someone I haven't heard of, naturally aroused Xuan Huang's attention.

After some investigation, it was discovered that this little guy had other secrets.

"Master, this kid is very bold, the beast he controls is actually a Wraith?" Wan Ling also exclaimed.

Generally speaking, the Soul Division Technique is used to enslave ferocious beasts, thereby dividing the soul to improve oneself.

This kid named Luo Feng directly enslaved a Wraith.

"How did he do it?"

Even Wan Ling couldn't understand it.

Which Wraith doesn't have a 'true will' starting at the first level?

A cultivator with only the late stage of the Entering Realm enslaved a Wraith of the Extraordinary first level, it's amazing to think about it.

Strictly speaking, although Wraiths are fragments of rules, it does not mean that their true will is very strong.

It is not that a first-level Wraith has a first-level true will, a second-level Wraith has a second-level true will, and a third-level Wraith has a third-level true will.

If true will was that simple, it would be a bit of a joke.

Wraiths do have the strength of a first-level true will at the first level, and the strength of a second-level true will at the second level.

But this true will is in quotation marks, the reason is very simple, this is not the will belonging to the Wraith, but the will of the distortion of heaven and earth.

The Wraith is just a carrier.

Moreover, Wraiths without intelligence and only instinctual laws cannot be measured according to Xuan Huang's true will.

When Wraiths reach the fourth level and true self is born, and intelligence and wisdom appear, it is only the first level of true will, and the stronger ones may be the second level.

The other distorted heavenly will will return to heaven and earth and become the 'visualization map' that suppresses the soul of heaven and earth.

The same nature as Xuan Huang's visualization objects suppressing.

It is different from the true will of Xuan Huang's will method.

However, no matter what, the Wraith's will, even if it is a distorted heavenly will, it is also the strength of the first level.

A cultivator with the late stage of the Entering Realm's will enslaved a Wraith with energy equivalent to the first level of extraordinary will, which is very outrageous.

Why can it be like this?

Speaking of this, we must mention the origin of the 《Beast Control Method》.
