Chapter 518

Time drifted by; in the blink of an eye, three days had passed since the immortal war ended, yet the impact of this world-shaking battle continued to spread throughout the Upper Three Dao Regions.

Now the Wind Cloud Mountain Range where the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect resides has become the absolute central region of the Vast Ancient Dao Realm, a forbidden zone acknowledged by countless major powers and rogue cultivators.

No one dares to trespass into the Wind Cloud Forbidden Land—not even the Heaven Source Immortal Venerable who shakes the universe! Even the Supreme Divine Lord would have to come and meekly lower his head and behave!

On Cloud-Ascending Immortal Mountain lies the gate of the Azure Cloud Sect.

Xiao Bai strode out with steps that showed no regard for kin, followed by three sect elders wearing the robes of outer-discipline elders.

As soon as Xiao Bai came out, his big eyes darted left and right and immediately spotted the Black Emperor leaning against the gate's immortal pillar, asleep.

"Second brother! Second brother! You're sleeping again, damn it!"

Xiao Bai shouted as he walked over and kicked the sleeping Black Emperor flying with one foot.

Whoosh—Bang!

The Black Emperor crashed heavily to the ground, instantly gritting his teeth in pain as he opened his eyes and shouted angrily, "Who? Who dares to sneak attack the Emperor?"

"The Emperor loves to kill in his dreams—don't you know that?"

"Big… big brother! How did you come here?"

Upon seeing that the visitor was Xiao Bai, the Black Emperor immediately put away his grimace and changed his expression.

Xiao Bai sized up the Black Emperor from head to toe and said, "Second brother, you love to kill in your dreams? How would I not know?"

"Hehe, I was just talking nonsense," the Black Emperor replied guiltily.

I must not let big brother know that my cultivation technique only works when I sleep, or I'll secretly crush him!

As for the claim that I love to kill in my dreams, that's pure nonsense—I just said it to scare my subordinates so my cultivation wouldn't be disturbed.

"Alright, no more nonsense," Xiao Bai waved his hand indifferently, and kicked the idea of loving to kill in dreams away.

"Let me introduce you: this is the Outer Sect's Second Elder Meng Tian, Third Elder Meng Di, and Fourth Elder Meng Ren."

Xiao Bai pointed to the three outer-discipline elders behind him and introduced them, saying these three elders were new faces, just promoted, so the Black Emperor had never seen them.

"Greetings, Black Emperor Sir," the three elders said in unison, bowing. The Black Emperor, who is on familiar terms with the Sect Master's beloved Xiao Bai, enjoys great prestige in the sect—even core elders must address him as Black Emperor Sir.

Xiao Bai continued: "The Wind Cloud Mountain Range where our sect resides is precisely located at the center of the Immortal Realm's Wind Cloud."

The Council of Elders has decided not to waste this opportunity, intending to construct a magnificent immortal city within the mountain range to siphon the Immortal Realm's resources—immortal crystals and talents.

Therefore, the higher-ups have sent you, me, and the three elders Meng Tian to oversee the city's construction.

Upon hearing this, the Black Emperor nodded and his expression turned serious—although he usually acts frivolously, when it comes to sect matters… well, never mind.

The outskirts of the Wind Cloud Mountain Range.

At this moment, a great number of cultivators have gathered here—many from major powers and countless rogue cultivators.

Looking around the outskirts of the mountain range, you can see many new buildings of all kinds.

These were built by the various major powers to station personnel here, awaiting the opening of the God-Demon Phantom Realm in half a year.

"You guys, what big news is the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect going to announce later? Could it be that they intend to lead us in an assault on Heaven Outside Heaven?"

"That's great! I've had enough of staying in Shang San Yu; the powerful forces of Heaven Outside Heaven can go, and I can go too!"

"A nearby cultivator couldn't help but speak up to burst his fantasy: 'What are you dreaming about? Still talking about leading an assault on Heaven Outside Heaven? You don't even have the qualifications to be cannon fodder! Hmm... better bring this venerable one along; at least this venerable one can... can fill the numbers!'"

"'Here they come! Here they come! Stop talking! The Immortal Sect's dignitaries have arrived!' many cultivators exclaimed."

"Only a figure slowly emerged, standing aloft at the peak of the void."

"'Ladies and gentlemen, I am Meng Ren, Third Elder of the Outer Sect of the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect. I have summoned you here today to announce an important matter.'"

"'Our sect has decided to construct an immortal city within the Wind and Cloud Mountain Range, and all of you may participate in its construction.'"

"'Forces or loose cultivators participating in the construction may first purchase shops or land within the city; forces ranking among the top ten in contributions to the city's construction may first freely choose their locations.'"

"Elder Meng Ren's voice rang like a great bell, echoing through the clouds, ensuring that the countless cultivators gathered here could all hear it."

"As his words fell, the scene instantly burst with earth-shaking cheers!"

"The Azure Cloud Immortal Sect has decided to build an immortal city in the Wind and Cloud Mountain Range! This is a major event!"

"Participating in the construction also grants priority to purchase shops and land within the city!"

"Participate! We must participate!"

"Given the current prestige of the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect, one can imagine how attractive this immortal city will be in the future; calling it the future greatest city of the immortal realm is no exaggeration!"

"Purchasing shops here not only can bring in profits overflowing, but also grants the protection of the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect."

"Moreover, if one's contribution to the city's construction ranks among the foremost, not only can they first freely choose a location, but they can also leave their name in the sect; should the sect take notice, they could rise to great heights!"

"Four joys in a row—excellent! Excellent!"

"The cultivators present, all being clever, instantly grasped the benefits and drawbacks, and exclaimed in astonishment!"

"Some hastily took out transmission stones to report the news; some blushed and declared on the spot their participation in the construction; others went further, slapping their chests to announce they would spend all their wealth to support the city's construction."

"Seeing this, Elder Meng Ren on the void was very satisfied."

"Use your resources and treasures to build our immortal city; after it's built, you'll still have to spend immortal crystals to purchase plots—excellent! Excellent!"

"Mobilizing the entire resources of Shang San Yu to build the immortal city—this is a strategy of killing two birds with one stone."

"Anyway, both sides feel they aren't losing and even stand to gain a lot, so let's get straight to work!"

"After the news spread, it caused another stir! Various major forces responded and gathered in droves; countless cultivators rushed over three hundred million hundred million li just to participate in the city's construction."

"Along with them came endless resources—immortal crystals, city-building treasures..."

"The site chosen for the immortal city lies in the southeast of the Wind and Cloud Mountain Range; the terrain is flat, the immortal qi is extremely abundant, making it very suitable for building the immortal city."

"Of course, if we speak of the best location, it would be the center of the mountain range."

"However, that place is where the Ascending Cloud Immortal Mountain stands, the main stronghold of the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect—certainly cannot be built there, for it has now become a new forbidden zone."

"With the site confirmed, the Azure Cloud Sect's God-level Protective Sect Grand Formation, the Myriad Swords Breaking Gods Formation, now fully envelops this area, its main purpose being to guard against any eventuality."

"Although the probability of a troublesome cultivator causing trouble here is only one in a hundred million hundred million of 0.001..."

"'My goodness, big brother, are they crazy?'"

The foreman Black Emperor watched the scenes below in disbelief, somewhat suspecting it was a dog… no, it was a monster.

They personally saw these two damn people, in order to compete to shovel more dirt, glaring at each other angrily.

They personally saw a Heavenly Origin Immortal Venerable personally descend to lead subordinates fervently moving immortal bricks.

They personally saw that, in order to outpace the other in work speed, they were scheming against each other; if it weren't for the supervisor present, they might even have started fighting……

Under these circumstances, the construction speed of the immortal city was astonishingly rapid! A future first city of the immortal realm would soon appear before the eyes of the world!
