Chapter 701: Chapter 59 Phoenix Level Building [Requesting for Monthly Tickets!]_1

In fact, what Chu Liang didn’t know was that this matter was not completely unrelated to him.

Ever since the introduction of the Immortal Sect’s social circle, the speed of information spread within the Immortal Cultivation World has been too fast. Basically, whenever a significant event occurs here, people from the Immortal Sects will immediately become aware of it, and naturally, the news will spread instantaneously.

In the past, much of the news came to light through the Seven Star Mansion Report, but now, as long as there is a witness posting on the social circle, everyone will be promptly informed. The Seven Star Mansion Report has lost its significance as a news carrier, at least for now within the large immortal sects.

Although it has not been fully popularized, this has already alerted the sensitive Tianshu Pavilion to a potential crisis. Upon learning about these developments, the anticipation for this month’s Seven Star Mansion Report decreased significantly.

If things continued in this manner, it could potentially lose its audience gradually, which is why the Wind Catcher Hall Master, Zhou Yijian, decided to change the layout and headlines of the Seven Star Mansion Report to make it more appealing to the viewers.

The major news stories for the month were the attack on Yunque Temple by the Demon King after the upheaval in the Southern Sea, and the disappearance of a disciple in Mang Mountain who reappeared in Wu’an City. These two events, one from the heavens and the other from the earth, were naturally of utmost importance.

Originally, Chu Liang’s return could also have made the front page, but it still couldn’t compete with these two events. After all, he is no longer the most attention-grabbing Immortal Door Champion from six years ago.

However, thanks to the Seven Star Mansion Report, Chu Liang shouldn’t have to explain his return everywhere. Soon, everyone around the world would know he was back.

And upon returning, he made a grand bid for the Demon-slaying Sword. This kind of declaration of return was indeed in line with the style of Shu Mountain’s wealthiest person.

The top stories for the Strategy of Nine States were just these few. Although there were others, they didn’t hold as much weight in comparison.

For example, the Sea King Sect lost its invaluable treasure, the Gobi Desert Cloud Dragon Banner. After investigation, it was suspected that it was stolen by a cultivator skilled in escape techniques.

Chu Liang remembered that when he and Wang Xuanling entered the sea, he had seen Mars’ Huo Tianya possessing the treasure and later handed it over to the Navy.

Was it stolen from the sect? Considering this, it’s possible that Mars’ thief was responsible. He had previously encountered a man named Yang Buju, who was said to be proficient in escape techniques.

Recently, frequent chaos and uprisings have occurred across the Four Seas and Nine Continents. Even though the Seven Star Mansion Report attempt to keep a light tone, the overall atmosphere is still heavy.

Fortunately, there was still the Jianghu Yiwon Record after the Strategy of Nine States.

The headline for this issue of the Jianghu Yiwon Record was the Taotie City Lord, Huyan Dong.

Previously, news about Huyan Dong’s private meeting with women had come out, but there was no follow-up. Huyan Dong’s wife remained calm even during her outings, and their family appeared to be in harmony.

However, Tianshu Pavilion recently received news that there were not just a few women who had private meetings with Huyan Dong. The Wind Catcher Hall found one of them who didn’t want her name revealed. She claimed that Huyan Dong had promised her position as a concubine in the mansion once she became pregnant.

You could say that Huyan Dong prioritizes propagation. After all, he and his wife are high-level cultivators; having a child is not easy for them. It is more likely to succeed with a woman of comparatively lower cultivation.

The reason for his actions probably had something to do with the failure of the Young City Lord of Taotie City, Huyan Bin.

Originally, Huyan Bin’s development was acceptable. He worked diligently on the path his father arranged, and although he was not clever, he did not make any significant mistakes. However, this changed six years ago when he invested in Red Cotton Peak.

This move seemed likely to destroy the millennia-old foundation of Taotie City.

If given a choice, Huyan Dong would rather have another child. He even wished he could return to that night thirty years ago and tell his younger self who had just received an invitation from his wife: Go out for a walk, have some hot pot, do anything else.

But don’t respond, don’t respond, definitely don’t respond!

...

Fifteen days later, on the open ground of Red Cotton Peak.

"Welcome Sect Master!" Chu Liang announced loudly.

Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap.

A group of Earth-Wood Hall disciples applauded uniformly. Their clean faces showed a trace of uneasiness and nervousness. They had been in the hall for many years, some over a decade, some five or six years, yet they had never seen the Sect Master in person.

Unexpectedly, Chu Liang managed to invite him over just upon his arrival.

"Stop!" At Chu Liang’s command, the clapping ceased instantly. He then turned around and said, "Sect Master, this is one of the sample houses we built. Please inspect it!"

He pointed to five modest houses standing on the open ground. These were no longer the common wooden huts found around Shu Mountain, but were meticulously constructed instead.

"We have categorized our houses into several grades: Ding, C, B, A, and Phoenix..." Chu Liang introduced them one by one, "with increasing levels of defense."

"Oh?" Sect Leader Wen Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, accompanied by Elder Chuan Jian and Pill Furnace Elder. They all showed a bit of curiosity, "What’s the difference between these houses?"

"A Ding-grade building can withstand a full-strength attack from a Fourth Realm cultivator without any damage," Chu Liang explained.

Before he finished speaking, a Fourth Realm disciple emerged from the house, saluted the Sect Master and the Elders, and drew his sword.

Swish Bang--

A wave of Sword Qi, remarkably fierce, slashed at the house’s wall, generating only a faint white light.

"A Class B building can withstand a full-strength attack from a Fifth Stage cultivator without suffering damage," Chu Liang continued.

A Shu Mountain disciple at the Fifth Stage then walked out from a house and struck with his palms.

Boom----

After the strike, the building remained perfectly intact.

"Class A building can withstand a full-strength attack from a Sixth Stage Cultivator," Chu Liang said again.

Lin Bei then emerged from a house, waved his arms around, and swung his sword.

Bang!

The sound of the sword qi rang out, and after the attack, the wall was indeed undamaged.

"A Class S building can withstand a full-strength attack from a Seventh Stage cultivator without being destroyed," Chu Liang said, "Could one of the elders try it out?"

"If this succeeds, it will be quite impressive," said Elder Chuan Jian, "I’ll give it a try."

He has been refining magic artifacts for years and naturally knows what quality an artifact should have to withstand a full-strength attack from a cultivator, and that a building can achieve this is simply astonishing.

Having said this, he raised that arm made of meteoric iron, gathered his True Qi, and threw a punch!

Although he did not want to disgrace Chu Liang, Elder Chuan Jian took the testing seriously and put all his cultivation into this punch, holding nothing back!

Bang!

With one punch, the building shook violently, swayed but remained standing. The formation seemed a bit mysterious, as the earlier shaking seemed to have dispersed a substantial amount of force.

"It’s indeed impressive," Elder Chuan Jian laughed, "The strength of the outer wall of this building can really compete with some of the magic artifacts on the Ten Thousand Treasures Record."

"Wait a minute..." Pill Furnace Elder seemed to suddenly realise something, his eyes wide: "Could this Phoenix Level be..."

"That’s correct," Chu Liang smiled and nodded, "It can withstand a full-strength blow from my master without exploding."

"What?" The three elderly men looked shocked in unison.

As they spoke, Empress Feng walked out of the house with a loud laugh.

"To prove that my master and I are not staging a show..." Chu Liang exclaimed, "Master, if you can knock this house down with one punch, I will give you 10,000 more Sword Coins."

"What?" Hearing this, Empress Feng’s eyes glowed and almost spat fire.

She rolled up her sleeves, a burst of purple-gold flame soared up from her right arm, spread out her wings like a flying bird as her arm swung, and cut through the air with a sharp whistling sound.

Boom--

With a punch, the entire mountain shook.

As the smoke cleared, everyone could see that although the stone wall of the house was cracked, there was still some support left. It looked as if it was about to collapse, but it still stood. At this point, it seemed that even a slight kick could topple the house.

But in the end, it held up.

"Tsk," Empress Feng clicked her tongue discontentedly.

"Well done!" Master Wen Yuan gently applauded and nodded, "I knew I was right to entrust this to you. If Red Cotton Peak is renovated to this standard, indeed we can rest assured."

Before leaving he spoke in a low voice, "The Unbounded Palace can also be reinforced later."

Elder Chuan Jian also came up, said, "How much is this house? I need to get one too."

Pill Furnace Elder, not willing to be left out, said, "Add me as well, I want one too."

For these old men, it wasn’t important to have a house that resisted fire or theft, but to resist Feng (phoenix), that’s really attractive.

"Sure thing," Chu Liang answered with a smile.

Just as everyone was happily gathered, suddenly, a terrifying sword qi shot from the position of the Biluo Peak! All of Shu Mountain was instantly enveloped in bone-chilling cold!

"That is..." Empress Feng was the first to react, her eyes shining brightly: "Yan Zi!"

Chu Liang also looked up and immediately realized what was happening.

"Uncle Yan has finally come out of seclusion!"
