My construction materials are weird

"Yes, they've made a killing. Even spirit beasts, those Daoist friends with extremely low intelligence, have visibly strengthened a lot," a cultivator responded.

The growth of spirit beasts was also significant. As participants, under the command of Holy Mother Tu Shan, they also received considerable improvements.

Among them, the greatest gains were made by Holy Mother Tu Shan.

You must know that Holy Mother Tu Shan was already on the verge of breaking through, from the second to the third order.

She already possessed the essence of a king, and Xuan Huang had specially researched a secret method for her, allowing both the cultivator herself and her avatar within the realm to progress, with both sides benefiting.

Under such favorable conditions, progress was obvious.

For example, in the Liao Zhai realm.

The little fox, an avatar of Holy Mother Tu Shan, suddenly said to the Venerable of the Fox Clan that she was going into seclusion to enter the third order.

The Venerable of the Fox Clan was taken aback.

"We chose correctly, we chose correctly, this is too good, too good."

The Venerable was very happy. Originally, the little fox's choice was just a chess piece for their Fox Clan.

They didn't expect that this chess piece would play such a role so quickly.

They discovered that not only was the external avatar of Holy Mother Tu Shan progressing rapidly, but even the main body within the realm was continuing to advance after self-shattering its fourth-order essence.

Even if Xuan Huang asked her to betray the Fox Clan and scheme against them, the little fox, Holy Mother Tu Shan, would not hesitate.

Xuan Huang was the sky for Holy Mother Tu Shan.

"Master is too great," the realm avatar said.

"Mm!" The Venerable of the Fox Clan nodded strangely.

She had long sensed something fishy; her clansman had completely submitted.

Although there were no bad intentions, such as plotting against Xuan Huang, etc.

But even without such intentions, the fact that her clansman was like this still made the Fox Venerable unhappy.

"So, you can conceive a third avatar?"

"Venerable, not only can I conceive a third avatar, but I will also enter the third order together. Master has already found the most suitable place for me," the avatar said.

She was referring to the Bitter Sea training that the little fox had requested earlier.

She was originally going to enter it a long time ago, but encountering the attack on the realm, which also brought benefits, naturally delayed it a bit.

However, the right choice was made. Even without entering the Bitter Sea, she could enter the third order.

The little fox chose to continue entering the Bitter Sea for training because her goal had changed. It was not just to enter the third order, but also to condense a third avatar.

At that time, she would have two third-order avatars.

Adding to the main body, it would be equivalent to having three more third-order existences.

"Oh? Where?" the Venerable asked, pretending not to care.

"This?" The little fox avatar didn't say.

"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay if you don't say. Since you've acknowledged a master, you must be loyal to your master. This is the fine tradition of our Fox Clan, there's nothing wrong with that," the Venerable said.

This point was not a lie.

The reason why their Fox Clan was so famous for acknowledging masters and continued to be accepted was precisely because of this reason.

They were serious about loyalty.

Such good qualities in acknowledging masters would become a good story, so many powerful figures would not refuse when the Fox Clan wanted to acknowledge them.

On the contrary, they would be a little happy, hoping that they and their subordinates would become a new legend.

"Venerable, please forgive me," the avatar said.

"It's okay, go ahead, go into seclusion. Remember, not only are you developing well outside, but inside the realm, you have also gained the attention of the realm's will. You are fortunate."

The last sentence sounded very meaningful.

The little fox didn't understand, but the Venerable was truly envious.

It represented that Tu Shan Holy Mother had a path forward.

What an enviable thing this was.

They, these realm saints, should have been the objects of envy for living beings.

But there was no perfect thing, and saints also had their own troubles.

For example, not seeing a way out, not finding a direction.

Lucky ones like Corpse Fisher and Zuo Qiuming were only extremely rare cases, insignificant ones.

More saints were lost in confusion, unable to see a direction.

From their perspective, the destined level was an insurmountable gap, how could this not be distressing?

Lower-level beings could say they were being pretentious, we wanted such a high birth, but we didn't even have the chance.

The two could never empathize.

Just like the ruling class and ordinary people could never empathize.

"Yes, this subordinate will take my leave," the little fox avatar said, not understanding, and retreated.

"Wait a moment."

The little fox avatar was puzzled: "Venerable, do you have any other instructions?"

"No," the Fox Clan Venerable shook her head and said, "No instructions, just wanted to tell you, from now on, don't call me Venerable, just call me Daoist friend."

"This?" The little fox avatar hesitated for a moment.

"Just listen to me, this is my last order as Venerable, okay, Daoist friend?" The Fox Clan Venerable smiled.

"Yes!"

The little fox nodded and quickly agreed.

This was also a change.

Such a quick change, if it were before, when the little fox was still a realm saint, would have been absolutely impossible.

She would even have been panicking and begging for mercy, thinking that she had offended the Venerable and that the Venerable wanted to punish her.

But now she had changed.

A confident change, a change in perspective, and a change in attitude.

Acknowledging a master like Xuan Huang, it was more than just an increase in strength, everything was improving.

For example, certainty about oneself, and the tangible touch of the future.

… …

"Really?"

In the distant Xia Capital, in the Town Evil Department, there was also a scene of jubilation.

Their 'undercover' Dragon Master Dao Soldier avatar had sent news that the Bright Lake Realm had been controlled.

Zhao Zheng and Tang Zong were unable to control their excitement.

"Yes, yes, you've asked three times, would I lie to you?" Dragon Master said helplessly.

"Then we? Then I… …" The two stammered.

"Rest assured!" Bi Xia interjected, "You must trust Master Xuan. As long as everything settles down, Master Xuan will naturally notify you. The fact that he hasn't notified you yet means he's not ready."

He added, "Daoist friend Jian Mu also needs time to control the Bright Lake Realm, he needs to stabilize it first, can't you think of that?"

Knowing that they were anxious, Bi Xia comforted and advised them like an elder brother.

"Yes, yes, yes, we're not anxious, not anxious," Tang Zong quickly said.

"Puchi!"

Han Wu on the side couldn't help but laugh.

Tang Zong said he wasn't anxious, but his expression didn't show any sign of not being anxious.

Since that day, their relationship had been as close as siblings. Without the competition of ideas and interests, who would want to be an enemy?

Especially after announcing the abdication of the Town Evil Department, it couldn't be said that they had withdrawn from the stage of history, but only changed from a high position to a follower.

This news was only met with dissatisfaction and venting from the outside world.

The internal troubles were intense.

So far, the number of spiritualists who have announced their withdrawal from the Demon Suppression Department has accounted for more than 30%, and there is a continuing upward trend.

This is also somewhat related to Xuan Huang, who has made the spiritualists too comfortable.

Without the torment of distortion, even if they withdraw from the Demon Suppression Department, they can still pay a small price to alleviate the distortion. In that case, why give up?

They still have ideas about the path of the spiritualist.

Changing a person is a very difficult undertaking, almost impossible.

No mistake, one first, one issue, one hair, one inside, one appearance, one in, one look!

Xuan Huang has risen for less than five years, how can it compare to the spiritualists' more than ten years?

Besides, many things are seeing is believing. Without truly seeing the power and vastness of true cultivators, many people will hold a skeptical attitude just from hearsay.

Spiritualist is a collective term, a very large group, unlike Bi Xia and others who have personally witnessed Xuan Huang's achievements.

This kind of personal contact and shock surpasses all hearsay.

There are countless spiritualists who have never seen Xuan Huang in person, and it is impossible to expect them to be like Bi Xia and others.

However, whether they have left the Demon Suppression Department or not, they all uniformly admire Xuan Huang's greatness.

Just one action, not preventing the spiritualists who have withdrawn from the Demon Suppression Department from alleviating distortion, this behavior alone is admired by all spiritualists.

The Xuan Masters did not use this to threaten everyone.

Otherwise, there would definitely not be so many spiritualists withdrawing from the Demon Suppression Department.

For example, the recent continuous increase in numbers is due to some people with a little cleverness who were initially afraid of withdrawing, fearing that Xuan Huang would no longer alleviate their distortion.

Seeing that this did not happen, they became bolder and chose to withdraw from the Demon Suppression Department.

"Ahem, I think it's time for the Four Greats to come to Xiadou."

Tang Zong was embarrassed by Han Wu's laughter.

He immediately changed the subject, taking advantage of this expansion of the Four Greats to have true cultivators descend upon Xiadou, the current nominal heart of the Xia Kingdom.

"That's right, it's time for them to come. Our mission has come to a temporary end. A city protected by true cultivators is no worse than us, even better than us," Long Shi said in agreement.

As a representative stationed in Qingyun Mountain, he knows the most about the situation.

For example, Nanshi has almost completely eliminated the encroachment of the strange.

It is suppressed by the Qi Luck of cultivators, suppressing Nanshi to the point where there is no environment for the birth of the strange.

Overall, Nanshi's strength is far worse than their Xiadou, but Xiadou still frequently gives birth to the strange, causing no small amount of harm each time.

Even with the protection of the Origin Array Sect's formations, it cannot achieve the fundamental elimination like Nanshi.

One is just prevention, the other is fundamental elimination.

"Contact a few old friends and Chief Steward Sun, and see what their opinions are," Bi Xia finally said.

"Okay!" Everyone acted on orders.

It can only be said that the Demon Suppression Department is full of talents. Even if it has withdrawn from the top position, the previous accumulation is still profound.

The leaders of the Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism families were their previous guest officials.

They have relationships.

When the news of the Demon Suppression Department was transmitted to Qingyun Mountain, the headquarters of the Four Greats.

Leaving aside Sun Hui, Yan Lai, Jiu Tong, and Minghui all smiled meaningfully.

They quickly recalled how they had come here in the first place.

That was not too far away, but it felt like a long time ago.

They accidentally learned that there was a martial artist named Xuan Huang in Nanshi who had pioneered the path of transcendence. At first, they did not believe it.

They thought it was a misrepresentation of rumors, or that this Xuan Huang was deliberately exaggerating and packaging himself.

Out of caution, they came to Nanshi together and witnessed the rise of a legend.

They had originally come to investigate, but after seeing the True Saint, who cared about investigating or not? They directly chose to settle down and not leave.

They began to call friends and invite fellow disciples from all over the world.

Previously, their status was as guest officials of the Demon Suppression Department, but that only sounded good.

Without matching strength, any title is fake. Only truly possessing strength is real.

Guest officials were nothing more than nominal leaders of a sect who were stationed in the Demon Suppression Department to convey the Demon Suppression Department's instructions, without much power.

Although they participated in meetings, they did not have much say. Often, their suggestions were just to fill in the gaps, patching up the decisions made by the spiritualists.

At this moment, the Demon Suppression Department wants them to return to Xiadou.

Isn't this an alternative return of the king?

How could they not smile, feeling cheerful and exhilarated?

"Haha..."

In the end, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Even the taciturn Great Monk Minghui had the same expression.

"Leaders!"

The people below were all confused.

"It's nothing, Minister Bi Xia and others from the Demon Suppression Department have jointly sent a letter, asking us Four Greats to return to Xiadou, take charge of all affairs in Xiadou, follow the rules of true cultivators, and start a new era," the three leaders told their fellow disciples in almost the same words.

"Haha..."

The high-level members of the Three Greats also laughed loudly, it was too wonderful.

"Back then, when we moved to Qingyun Mountain, we were often gossiped about, especially the contempt of those spiritualists. I still remember it vividly today. It's really a matter of human affairs."

"Yes, the spiritualists you encountered were still polite. I even encountered someone who directly said that I was being unrealistic and daydreaming. Their words were very harsh. I really didn't expect it!"

"..."

Everyone began a round of uninhibited complaints.

The three leaders did not stop them, allowing everyone to vent their dissatisfaction.

Overall, the relationship with the spiritualists was still maintained well, but the main reason was their compromise.

It's just that, with the rise of true cultivators, their own power has become stronger and stronger, and they no longer compromise.

From compromising, to daring to resist, to being on an equal footing, until now completely surpassing them.

The Three Greats have experienced the most.

Like the Martial Dao Alliance, without so many constraints, there are not so many annoying things.

The Martial Dao Alliance recognized Xuan Huang from the beginning and did not have too many waves.

"Leaders, when will we return to Xiadou?" After venting, the high-level members were all high-spirited.

Returning home in glory, even true cultivators cannot avoid it.

"I will discuss with the three dimension leaders and chief steward... However, we must clearly know that Xiadou is already a thing of the past. Qingyun Mountain is the holy land. Even if we return to Xiadou, we will not pay too much attention to it. Treat it the same as Nanshi, or even one level lower."

This is what Yan Lai said.

Although it is pleasant, it cannot be overdone.

The headquarters of Qingyun Mountain is the foundation.

"We are taught!" The high-level members said in unison.

It's not that they can't think of it, but some words can only be said by the leaders, this is the rule.

"I will go to Xiadou with the three leaders to stabilize the situation and then return... After all, we still have to give face to Bi Xia, Long Shi, and others. We'll see about the rest."

Yan Lai said.
