The numerous big shots returned to their respective resting places, but the matter brought by the Dark Moon Clan was far from over.
At this moment, a group of elders from Martial Emperor City were gathered in a room by Cheng Xiaotian, with Zheng Yu also present.
"Elders, what do you think about the Dark Moon Clan?"
As soon as Cheng Xiaotian spoke, the elders remained silent.
What is there to think about?
Damn it, the Dark Moon Clan is practically a bug in this world! Let's not even mention that over time, the Dark Moon Clan will inevitably become invincible.
Just talking about now, the Dark Moon Clan's immortal body is like a cheat code for completing cultivation techniques!
With the existence of the Dark Moon Clan, all those incomplete techniques that the Grand Sky Sect had acquired could almost be completed, and even the originally complete techniques could be challenged and improved by the Dark Moon Clan.
It's no exaggeration to say that given some time, the Grand Sky Sect's techniques would explode in power.
"Is the Sect Master planning to use the Dark Moon Clan to complete our techniques in Martial Emperor City?"The elders weren't fools. After witnessing the Dark Moon Clan's abilities today, everyone had the same thought.
But this idea posed a problem... If Martial Emperor City offered their incomplete techniques to the Dark Moon Clan for completion, the techniques would indeed be completed, but wouldn't the Grand Sky Sect also gain access to them?
So while Martial Emperor City would grow stronger, the Grand Sky Sect would also grow stronger...
Hearing Cheng Xiaotian's words, the elders fell into deep thought.
If you seek help from the Grand Sky Sect, you will become stronger, but so will the Grand Sky Sect. If you don't seek their help, you gain nothing, and the Grand Sky Sect continues to grow stronger...
This is a damn unsolvable problem...
After all, the Dark Moon Clan's near-invincible ability is just too monstrous.
The Dark Moon Clan's ability is even more terrifying than infinite enlightenment.
In the past, the Blazing Sun Continent had seen some geniuses with infinite enlightenment, who wreaked havoc with their comprehension abilities...
But these geniuses often met unfortunate ends, some mysteriously killed...
Others accidentally enlightened themselves to death during the process.
The former fell because they were too conspicuous, inevitably attracting attacks, while the latter... well, there's nothing more to say.
No matter how amazing your enlightenment ability is, one mistake and you're done.
But the Dark Moon Clan is different... What?
Kill the Dark Moon Clan? Do you believe if you tell the Dark Moon Clan you're planning to kill them, they won't be able to sleep out of excitement tonight?
Is the Dark Moon Clan afraid of being killed?
They dream of someone trying to kill them every day.
As for enlightenment failure... that doesn't exist. So what if they fail?
Have we, the Dark Moon Clan, never died before?
We fail, die on the spot, and then take a different path to continue completing the technique...
So the Dark Moon Clan is unsolvable.
After much thought, Zheng Yu finally spoke up, "Master, elders, although revealing our techniques to the Grand Sky Sect for completion might leak them and strengthen the Grand Sky Sect, if we do nothing, Martial Emperor City will only decline. Instead of declining, it's better for everyone to improve together."
One must admit, although Zheng Yu is young, he sees the essence of things clearly.
Revealing the techniques means the Grand Sky Sect will grow stronger, but Martial Emperor City will also grow stronger, creating a win-win situation.
Not revealing them means Martial Emperor City gains nothing, while the Grand Sky Sect continues to improve with their completed techniques, making this an unsolvable problem.
No matter what others do, the Grand Sky Sect is bound to grow stronger.
The discussion continued for a long time, and finally, Cheng Xiaotian made a decision. That night, he personally sought out Gu Mingchao.
Gu Mingchao seemed to have anticipated Cheng Xiaotian's intentions, and even the Great Elder was waiting in the room.
As for Cheng Xiaotian's proposal, Gu Mingchao did not refuse. He even stated on the spot that the techniques offered by Martial Emperor City would not all be kept by the Grand Sky Sect. They would select half, and the other half would be completed for Martial Emperor City, with a promise that the Grand Sky Sect would not allow their disciples to practice them.
This was the promise given by the Grand Sky Sect.
Cheng Xiaotian naturally trusted Gu Mingchao's promise.
And that night, not only Martial Emperor City, but various major forces also arrived one after another, all with the same goal as Martial Emperor City: to ask the Grand Sky Sect to help complete their techniques.
For all who came, Gu Mingchao treated them equally, offering to help complete their techniques but keeping half for themselves, with a promise not to learn a single bit of the other half.
In the Grand Sky Palace, Gu Mingchao, along with the Great Elder, met countless big shots and silently formed alliances with them.
After sending off the last strong figure, Gu Mingchao and the Great Elder exchanged a knowing smile.
These two old foxes were so in sync. On the way to Dark Moon City, although they hadn't exchanged a word, they had already planned everything.
They intended to display all the abilities of the Dark Moon Clan to these people, and indeed... no one could resist the temptation of completing techniques. Except for a few who stubbornly held onto their incomplete techniques and refused to ally, most sensible people knew what choice to make.
But after much thought, Gu Mingchao couldn't help but sigh... In the end, it's all thanks to Xinghe.
During the relic expedition, Xinghe single-handedly brought the Dark Moon Clan out of the cursed land, and it was because of the Dark Moon Clan that the current situation arose.
Xinghe has truly spared no effort in building the sect.
The Great Elder's face was beaming with joy. Tonight was definitely a night that could go down in history for the Grand Sky Sect. After tonight, with the help of the Dark Moon Clan, the Grand Sky Sect would receive a continuous influx of powerful techniques. Although they could only keep half, the gathering of techniques from all over the world would be an immense boost for the sect.
At this moment, the Great Elder only wanted to shout, "God Bless Grand Sky!"
It was indeed God Bless Grand Sky that brought Xinghe to us. With Xinghe, the Grand Sky Sect is climbing higher step by step. With Xinghe here, the Grand Sky Sect will never fall!
The excited Great Elder immediately returned to the Spirit Crane Palace and found Chu Xinghe, informing him of everything that had happened that night.
After hearing the Great Elder's passionate declaration of "God Bless Grand Sky" and that various parties had secretly allied with them, with so many techniques flowing into the Grand Sky Sect, the sect was bound to flourish!
Chu Xinghe didn't know what "flourishing" meant; he only knew he was damn fed up...
In fact, ever since the Dark Moon Clan began completing the Wuxiang Heart Sutra, he knew trouble was coming.
But damn it, this is an unsolvable problem, isn't it?
Tell me, how do you solve this?
The Dark Moon Clan's abilities are right there. From the moment they started working on the Wuxiang Heart Sutra, he knew this day would come. He thought it might come a bit later, but he never expected it to come so soon...
Dark Moon Clan, oh Dark Moon Clan, is your curse damn cursing you or me, Chu Xinghe?
Ever since I met you, nothing good has happened...
But am I, Chu Xinghe, someone who falls easily?
Look at my back, it's full of damn stab wounds... Although your Dark Moon Clan stabbed me right in the face, this blow is not enough to defeat me, Chu Xinghe!
All the failures endured today are just paving the way for future success!
The road to self-destruction is long, and I, Chu Xinghe, will never easily compromise!
Notify all the major chambers of commerce overnight, and have them deliver all the wedding supplies prepared for the Grand Sky Sect tomorrow. I need to make a big splash to replenish the sect's resources!
In the Grand Sky Palace... Yan Shoujing set up countless formations to ensure no one would discover his secret, then began to call Wu Xingyun.
Soon... he connected with Wu Xingyun.
"What kind of nonsense are you up to in the middle of the night?" Wu Xingyun, who was woken up, was clearly displeased.
But Yan Shoujing knew that soon, when Wu Xingyun realized what Yan Shoujing had done, he would have to speak to him with respect.
Just as Yan Shoujing was about to speak, a very familiar voice came from the side.
"Oh, Demon Emperor... you're on my hair..."
Little Cui'er!
It was Little Cui'er's voice! Yan Shoujing's eyes welled up with tears... He finally heard Little Cui'er's voice again!
But why was he hearing Little Cui'er's voice at this time?
It must be that Little Cui'er was practicing with Wu Xingyun! It must be! He absolutely couldn't overthink it!
"Ahem... I was just guiding Little Cui'er in her practice..." Wu Xingyun quickly explained.
Yan Shoujing nodded secretly, sure that he had guessed correctly. They were just practicing, and he absolutely couldn't overthink it!
Yan Shoujing wasted no words and directly relayed the complete version of the Wuxiang Heart Sutra he had noted down to Wu Xingyun.
After listening to the completed Wuxiang Heart Sutra, Wu Xingyun was stunned for a full minute.
After hanging up on Yan Shoujing, Wu Xingyun was overjoyed, but after much deliberation, he decided not to try the completed Wuxiang Heart Sutra himself. Instead, he summoned a highly perceptive genius from the Demonic Sect overnight.
Soon, after hearing the completed Wuxiang Heart Sutra from Wu Xingyun, the genius was overjoyed.
"Demon Emperor, this method is feasible!"
Hearing the genius's words, Wu Xingyun was ecstatic. Had Yan Shoujing finally done something right?
Although Yan Shoujing had previously sabotaged the Demonic Sect multiple times, and some even privately called him the Demonic Sect's second nemesis, this time he had done well.
He quickly arranged for the perceptive genius to work on the Wuxiang Heart Sutra, and in high spirits, Wu Xingyun prepared to impart some secret techniques to Little Cui'er.
But just as Wu Xingyun was about to study the secret techniques with Little Cui'er, an explosion sounded from afar.
Wu Xingyun hurriedly put on his clothes and rushed over, only to find the genius's remains, which were unrecognizable as either a thumb or a big toe...
Wu Xingyun was stunned for an unknown amount of time, and when he reconnected with Yan Shoujing, he didn't even want to curse his entire family...
Wu Xingyun just wanted to say, "I'm begging you, Yan Shoujing... just doing nothing would be the greatest contribution to the Demonic Sect, okay?
Our Demonic Sect's resources are almost depleted because of you...
The next day, it was heard that there was a change in the Demonic Sect's must-kill list, and the name of Yan Shoujing, Deputy Sect Master of the Grand Sky Sect, was prominently listed.
But no one understood... Yan Shoujing didn't seem to have any conflict with the Demonic Sect...
Why was the Demonic Sect being so unreasonable?
