Within the Qing-Yun Sect, Zhong Yunfeng sat with his hands behind his back, gazing at the roof of the grand hall. It was unknown what he was thinking about.

At the top of the mountain, they crossed the square, passed the front hall, and entered the middle hall.

"Li Gu, help me arrange a place for Long to stay. Oh right, Eldest Senior Brother, I wonder if the sect is still accepting disciples. I would like Zi Long to join the Qing-Yun Sect."

Hearing this, Li Fu was overjoyed. This Zi Long's talent was good to begin with. He was also in the later stages of the Aurous Core stage, so he could feel the aura from Zi Long's body.

"Of course you can. The Qing-Yun Sect has always been lacking disciples. If junior brother Zilong is willing to join, of course we welcome you."

"Right."

Ah'Bao nodded, and went inside the main hall. Arriving at the front of the hall, Ah'Bao respectfully said, "Disciple Liu Yibao pays his respects to the grand master."

Zhong Yunfeng smiled and said, "There's no need to be so courteous. Take a seat."

Ah'Bao sat down next to Zhong Yunfeng.

Zhong Yunfeng said, "Little Treasure, do you know that I, Qing Yun, was defeated and my disciple was depressed?"

"Got it."

"Then do you know how strong I, Qingyun, am?"

"I don't know."

"I, Qing Yun, have existed for tens of thousands of years. Ten thousand years ago, experts were as common as clouds in the sect. But now, Qing Yun has fallen, and there are no experts guarding the sect. Perhaps in a few decades, Qing Yun will completely fall."

Hearing Zhong Yunfeng's words, Ah'Bao wrinkled his brows. He didn't know why Zhong Yunfeng would tell him this.

After a short pause, Zhong Yunfeng asked, "There's a question that I don't know if it's appropriate to mention."

"Please speak, Master."

Zhong Yunfeng looked at Ah'Bao, "Xiao Bao, your talent is extraordinary, and I'm afraid that no one in the mortal world can compare to you. I believe you must have an expert to teach you, so why did you come to my desolate Qing Yun to be an ordinary disciple?"

The reason why he came to Qingyun Peak was to learn the Godly Thunder God Technique. He had asked his seniors about it before, but none of them knew about it. Even Elder Wu, who was in charge of supplying supplies, had asked about it, but Elder Wu had also expressed that he didn't know.

"The Sovereign is right. I do have a master, but there is no power behind it. Moreover, I will never do anything that would betray my sect or Qing Yun. I will only do it for one cultivation technique."

"Over the past thousands of years, I, Qing Yun, have gradually declined. Although the sect has a high quality cultivation technique, when compared to your own cultivation technique, it is not worth mentioning. I wonder if I, Qing Yun, have any cultivation technique that would be able to catch the eyes of a monster like you."

Back then when Ah'Bao displayed the might of a heaven-defying dragon, Zhong Yunfeng was able to see it clearly. In the current mortal world, there was no other power that could display such might.

"I am only here for the Lightning Controlling God Tactic."

This was a treasure of the Qing-Yun Sect, and only the previous leaders had the right to know about it. Furthermore, the Qing-Yun Sect had done a very good job in keeping the secret, and the outside world only knew about it, but did not know that there was a peerless cultivation technique of the Qing-Yun Sect known as the Lightning God Resisting Art.

No one could be blamed for not knowing that if one wanted to cultivate the Thunder God's Controlling Thunder Art, one must have a lightning spirit root. In the last ten thousand years, there had not been many lightning spirit roots in the mortal world, and no one had been able to successfully cultivate the Thunder God's Controlling Thunder Art for ten thousand years. Zhong Yunfeng was incomparably shocked. In the current mortal world, there were less than five people who knew of the Thunder God Tactic, and all of them were old freaks that had lived for ten thousand years. Behind Ah'Bao, there might be some old freaks who had trained him.

Thinking up to here, Zhong Yunfeng laughed, "Haha, I never thought that even after ten thousand years, there would still be someone who remembers the Lightning Controlling God Tactic of the Qing-Yun Sect. Little Treasure, since you know about the Lightning Controlling God Tactic, you should also know that if you want to cultivate it, you need the Lightning God Resisting Technique with the Lightning Spirit Root. Do you …"

At this point, Zhong Yunfeng looked at Ah'Bao with expectation.

Ah'Bao slowly nodded his head, "I do indeed have a Lightning Spirit Root, but it needs to be activated before my master can send me to Qingyun Peak to learn the Lightning God's Arts."

"Good, good, good. Little Treasure, can you tell your master's name?"

Ah'Bao shook his head, "Master only called me here to Qingyun Peak, and I don't know when we'll meet again. Before we leave, Master won't let me mention his name in front of outsiders, so please forgive me."

"Since that's the case, it's inconvenient for me to ask too much. Alright, you may leave. Come to the rear hall in three days."

"Yes."

Ah'Bao withdrew and went straight to his room. This time, he made clear his purpose for coming here, and perhaps he could really obtain the Thunder God Arts, but Ah'Bao was just a little confused, after he obtained the Thunder God Arts, should he continue to stay in the Clear Sky Peak, or should he leave? With his future path in doubt, other than wanting to clearly investigate the matter of the Great Demon Annihilation, Ah'Bao couldn't think of what he could do in the future. Fighting the Demons and protecting the Dao? To live in seclusion in the mountains? Get married and have children? Liu Zichen had once told him to establish a force that belonged to him. Could it be that he wanted to return to the Everlasting School and expand it?

Ah'Bao shook his head. He didn't have any clue as to the matter of the Great Demonic God's extermination. Liu Zichen said that it was related to the Devil Dao, but the Devil Dao was hidden in the shadows. How was he to investigate it? Xu Hailin had said that Pill King Valley's Hu Long was related to the Devil Dao, but Xu Hailin had said not to alert the enemy first. If he couldn't figure it out, Ah'Bao would just shake his head and meditate to cultivate. As for the Reverse Dragon Art and the Ice and Fire Soul Return Tactic, Ah'Bao would cultivate them every day.

Three days later, Ah'Bao arrived at the back of the main hall. There was nobody guarding the main hall, and Ah'Bao didn't run into anyone along the way.

Currently, there were five people sitting inside the back hall. Other than Zhong Yunfeng, the other four people were all white-haired old men.

"He's coming."

Ah'Bao walked into the great hall, respectfully greeting, "Greetings, Master. Everyone …"

"These are the most senior members of our sect. If you want to enter our Flowing Cloud Tower, you have to have the consent of the four of them."

This Flowing Cloud Tower was a magical treasure sent by the Qing-Yun Sect. Back then, Daoist Master Qing Yun roamed the continent, and this pagoda was his personal magic treasure, so all of the Qing-Yun Realm's best cultivation techniques were stored inside. Ever since Daoist Master Qing Yun had passed away, no one had been able to use this magic treasure, and this Flowing Cloud Tower was one of the few magic treasures that could allow living beings to enter.

"Greetings, Elders."

"Haha, there's no need to be so courteous. Now that I've been defeated, and also have a disciple with heaven-defying talent like you, I, Qingyun Peak, will definitely flourish in the future."

"That's right, Qingyun Peak is just around the corner. In the future, Qingyun Peak will depend on your younger generation."

"Child, we've heard of the Medicine Sovereign Valley's matter. Good fight, the ambition for Thousand Volcano Mountain to destroy our sect has existed for a very long time. Although the Greencloud Valley has fallen, I, Thousand Volcano Mountain, am not afraid."

"Child, you want to enter the Flowing Cloud Tower to learn my Cyan Cloud Art? We don't have any objections, but we have two conditions."

"Elder, please speak." "You should know that this competition is going to be held nine years from now. We hope that you can represent Qingyun Peak in this competition, and with your talent, it should not be difficult for you to enter the top three. If you cannot make it to the top three, the Greencloud Sect will be expelled from the range of first-rate powers."

"As a disciple of the Qing-Yun Sect, I will naturally work hard for the sect. In nine years, we will have the competition, but I can't guarantee being in the top three. Ah'Bao will definitely try his best."

"That's great. Second, no matter where you are in the future, or if you're going to establish your own sect, if Qingyun Peak is in trouble, please help them. This might be a bit too much for you. With your talent, the Qing-Yun Sect will not be able to keep you, sigh …"

Ah'Bao was unexpectedly speechless, and nodded in response, "Don't worry, elder. Since Ah'Bao has already joined Qingyun Peak, he will naturally go all out to assist you when it comes to Qingyun Peak." But we only have three months, with our current abilities, we can only keep the Flowing Cloud Tower open for three months. How much you can learn in three months, it all depends on you, and at that time, Li Fu will enter with you. "
