Chapter 262: Azure Heaven Immortal Shield, Discussion of the Academies

Soon after.

In the grand Qingyun Immortal Hall.

"Li Muyun, An Ye, Cang Nan."

"Greetings, Sect Master."

The three lofty figures on the high platform clasped their hands together and spoke in unison, respectfully.

【Li Muyun, Cultivation: Peak True Immortal Realm】

【Talent: Dao Yun Immortal Body】

【Cultivation Method: True Immortal Rank Dao Yun Immortal Law, Martial Technique: Cloud Sword Immortal Secret】

【An Ye, Cultivation: Peak True Immortal Realm】

【Talent: An Ye Immortal Body】

【Cultivation Method: World-Exterminating Immortal Secret, Martial Technique: …… omitted】

【Cang Nan, Cultivation: Peak True Immortal Realm】

【Talent: Spirit Immortal Body】

【Cultivation Method: Spirit Immortal True Secret, Martial Technique: ……】

From the main seat, Feng Qingyang's imposing downward gaze caused the three individuals' panels to instantly appear in the hall.

"Li Muyun, hear my order: this sect appoints you as Master of the Sect's Cloud Pavilion."

"An Ye, hear my order: this sect appoints you as Master of the Sect's Dark Pavilion."

"Cang Nan, hear my order: this sect appoints you as Master of the Sect's Divine Pavilion."

"Qingyun Immortal Sect, eight peaks, five pavilions: this sect greatly values the immortal pavilions; you three must properly oversee your respective immortal pavilions—rise straight up, Qingyun!"

These three solemn commands came down from above.

Upon hearing this, the three people in the hall became solemn and clasped their hands again.

"We will faithfully follow the Sect Master's order."

"We swear to lay down our lives for the Sect Master and to serve Qingyun."

In response, Feng Qingyang on the main seat nodded, then had the three of them withdraw.

After they left, Feng Qingyang began to ponder the sect's future development.

Now our Qingyun Sect fears no three great academies.

Eight True Immortals hold the fort, numerous Heavenly Immortal elders, and countless Earthly Immortals.

Adding his half-step Golden Immortal, three-transformations great boss, even if the three great academies unite, they can be swept aside at will.

He checked the sect panel; his powerful breakthrough this time also brought varying degrees of improvement to the summoned powerhouses.

The Red Dust True Immortal broke through to the peak of Heavenly Immortal, and the Sword‑Controlling Immortal broke through to the peak of Heavenly Immortal.

The seven peak masters, sequential elders, core elders, hall elders, and some inner‑door elders all broke through to the Heavenly Immortal realm.

The patriarch also advanced from the seventh to the ninth layer of True Immortal, but the peak True Immortal Lin Wenxian and the sweeping monk Gu Chen did not break through again, which is a slight regret.

Now the only thing we need to guard against is that mysterious realm lord.

Feng Qingyang muttered to himself.

However, anyone or any force that obstructs Qingyun Sect's rise will ultimately be trampled!

Thereafter, he stopped thinking about these; now the focus is on cultivating disciples and raising elders' cultivation.

Now the top‑tier combat strength is fine, but disciples' cultivation and mid‑low‑tier elders are still too low to uphold the sect's reputation.

This is what Feng Qingyang intends to focus on developing over the next period.

Thereafter, Feng Qingyang took out this round's reward from the system space: the Heaven‑Loom Shield and the Sect Realm Teleportation Grand Formation.

A blinding immortal light flashed in the hall, and then two clusters of light radiating dense immortal might descended into the void of the immortal hall.

As the immortal light faded, a light‑blue shield revealed its true form.

"Is this the Sovereign Immortal Heaven‑Loom Shield?"

Holding the shield in his hand, Feng Qingyang stroked it to feel it.

The only sensation was hardness! Indestructible!

He immediately thought, then tossed the shield into the air, afterward channeling the terrifying primordial power within his body onto the shield.

Boom! A tremendous sound came.

Feng Qingyang heard the sound and looked toward the shield ahead, finding it unharmed.

His terrifying immortal source power struck it, leaving not a trace.

Holy cow! Worthy of a Sovereign Immortal artifact! Still as awesome as ever!

Now with the Sovereign Immortal Sword in my left hand and the Sovereign Immortal Shield in my right, I am invincible beneath the upper heavens!

Still need to guard against that realm lord causing trouble! Whoever comes, dies!

Feng Qingyang's mood instantly brightened; he flicked his sleeve and retrieved the shield before him.

As for the other treasure, the teleportation grand formation, he currently has no intention to use it; he will employ it when needed.

After a while, once the sect gradually improves, we can go to the Desolate Martial Realm to deliver talents to the sect.

Also, some disciples' relatives or elders' friends can be brought over.

How exciting!

What the cultivators of the Desolate Martial Realm imagined has come true—our Qingyun Sect is a great sect of the immortal realm!

Thereafter, Feng Qingyang moved his mind and sent out a voice transmission.

……

Soon after.

Within the Qingyun Sect, the elders jointly announced a piece of news.

After a three‑month period, disciples of all sects will cultivate for another three months, then they may go out for training on their own.

When the time comes, the sect will also post related missions; one can go to the Mission Hall to pick up a mission, and upon completion earn contribution points.

As soon as this news was released, the disciples of all sects erupted in excitement.

"Holy smoke! Finally, finally here! In three months we'll be able to leave the sect freely for training! We'll get to behold the splendor of the Immortal Realm!"

"Yeah! Although the outside world can't compare to the sect's interior, it's still amazing—traveling the mortal world, we will exalt the prestige of our Qingyun disciples! Exalt the sect's prestige!"

"That senior brother is right, but our cultivation is still too low; we must make crazy progress during this precious three‑month period!"

After an inner‑sect disciple finished speaking, the disciples present exchanged a glance and then desperately ran toward the Spacetime Tower.

The new round of the Sect's Top Contender Competition has officially kicked off!

……

Time flew by, and five days passed in the blink of an eye.

The news of the Qingyun Sect's annihilation of the five major powers has been circulating for a while.

Now the Qingyun Sect has become a red‑hot superpower, with countless people racking their brains to join it.

Once one can enter an immortal sect, even one's chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, and in Qinggu one can walk sideways.

Many others are still watching to see whether the Three Great Academies and the Qingyun Immortal Sect will actually go to war, and who will become the dominant power in Qinggu.

Will the Three Great Academies continue to dominate, or will the Qingyun Immortal Sect rise above them and gain the edge?

At the same time.

Xianqing City, Xianqing Academy.

At this moment, all disciples within the Xianqing Academy had solemn expressions.

The vast academy interior was extremely quiet; most disciples spent all day holed up in the cultivation chambers, frantically cultivating, clearly having heard the outside discussions.

As for the top experts, they don't know whether they are stronger or weaker than Qingyun, but when it comes to the disciples' strength, they absolutely cannot lose to the disciples of the Qingyun Immortal Sect.

At this moment, inside a concealed forbidden land within the academy,

Three terrifying figures were conversing.

"Five days ago, an aura surpassing the True Immortal Realm erupted from the direction of the Qingyun Sect—they actually have an expert above the True Immortal Realm holding the fort!"

"What do you all suggest we do?"

A figure spoke up in a deep voice.

"This Qingyun Sect is too mysterious! Everything they do is shocking."

"For example, just a while ago this immortal predicted they could annihilate the five major powers, and it indeed came true—only this immortal didn't expect them to do it so easily."

"And then, five days ago, Qingyun also emitted an aura above the True Immortal Realm—this sect is truly mysterious and powerful!"
