Zhao Hai stood in the largest refining room in the Refining Hall. In front of him was a large pile of metal components. Some of these components were just parts while others were runes.
These things were the large artifacts that Zhao Hai and the others made. They were going to be used in Sky City. It was actually a strange artifact made up of countless artifacts.
At Zhao Hai's side stood several refiners. They were all looking at the things in front of them with excitement. These things had taken them a full year to make, so they were very significant.
While making these things, they encountered countless difficulties. But in the end, they were all overcome. Finally, they were able to make this large artifact.
This large scale magic tool was disassembled. Only when it was assembled together could it form a complete magic tool. Now, they couldn't see anything, but this wasn't important. What was important was that by making this large scale magic tool, their refining skills had improved greatly.
It wasn't just them, even the people from the Array Hall were very excited. This was because this large artifact was condensed from their blood and sweat. Their array skills had also improved.
Zhao Hai looked at the pile of parts, then he looked at everyone and smiled faintly, "Alright, it's finally finished. Everyone, take a good rest today. Tomorrow, we'll head to Sky City and install it. Then we'll see how it performs." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, it's finally finished.
Everyone nodded. Zhao Hai smiled faintly. Then he left the Refining Hall and returned to his study. He had been staying in the Refining Hall for nearly a year. During this time, all of his attention was focused on the Refining Hall. He almost didn't deal with the matters of the Sea Exploring Sect.
However, he was still very clear about the current situation in the Sword Spirit World. The Sword Spirit World wasn't peaceful. A few months ago, the Myriad Buddha Temple and the Tianyi Dao Sect led several large sects to attack the 13 Cities of Mount Mang. They thought that they could easily take over the 13 Cities of Mount Mang. However, they didn't expect to encounter the tenacious resistance of the 13 Cities of Mount Mang. It took them nearly three months to take over the 13 Cities of Mount Mang.
However, taking over the 13 Cities of Mount Mang wasn't over. The people of the 13 Cities of Mount Mang didn't give up resisting. They retreated to Mount Mang and continued to deal with the Myriad Buddha Temple. They used their stealth and assassination methods to constantly cause trouble for the Myriad Buddha Temple and the Tianyi Dao Sect alliance. Moreover, they were very familiar with Mount Mang.
Although the Myriad Buddha Temple and the Tianyi Dao Sect had taken over the 13 Cities of Mount Mang, Mount Mang was still in the hands of the cultivators of the 13 Cities of Mount Mang. If the disciples of the Myriad Buddha Temple and the Tianyi Dao Sect entered Mount Mang, they would immediately be attacked. The few disciples didn't dare to enter Mount Mang at all. This made the Myriad Buddha Temple and the Tianyi Dao Sect very angry.
However, they couldn't do anything because the cultivators of the 13 Cities of Mount Mang didn't just stay in Mount Mang. They even left Mount Mang and went to other places to trade with other sects. This made the people of the Myriad Buddha Temple and the Tianyi Dao Sect understand that the people of the 13 Cities of Mount Mang must have teleportation formations in Mount Mang. It was almost impossible for them to trap the people of the 13 Cities of Mount Mang.
Thousand Buddha Temple and Tianyi Dao Sect did not have any good ideas now. Mount Mang was very large. Even if Thousand Buddha Temple and Tianyi Dao Sect worked together with people from other sects, it was impossible to search the mountain because it was too large. The other party was very familiar with the situation in the mountain. In addition, they could leave Mount Mang at any time. There was no point in searching the mountain.
The people of the 13 Cities of Mount Mang must have a secret base somewhere else. It's just that no one knew where it was. The reason why the cultivators of the 13 Cities of Mount Mang was to create more trouble for the Myriad Buddha Temple and the Tianyi Dao Sect. This problem couldn't be solved in a short period of time. They could only slowly grind it out. When the people of the 13 Cities of Mount Mang couldn't take it anymore and gave up on dealing with them, the Myriad Buddha Temple and the Tianyi Dao Sect would be considered a success. Now, the Myriad Buddha Temple and the Tianyi Dao Sect could only be considered as occupying the outer cities of Mount Mang. Mount Mang wasn't theirs yet.
Because of this matter, the eyes of the entire Sword Spirit Realm were now focused on Mount Mang. This made Zhao Hai and the others feel relaxed.
In the past, the Sea Exploring Sect was the focus of the entire Sword Spirit Realm. But now, everyone's attention was on Mang Shan. Nobody paid any attention to the Sea Exploring Sect. This made Zhao Hai and the others feel relieved. Zhao Hai and the others couldn't help but feel relieved.
When they arrived at the study room, Laura and the others were already there. Zhao Hai asked them about the situation. Now that everyone's attention was on the Myriad Buddha Temple, they didn't have anything to do. On the other hand, Zhao Hai was paying attention to the Demon Realm. The Great Sects of the Demon Realm couldn't sit still. Although the Myriad Buddha Temple and the Tianyi Dao Sect hadn't completely taken Mount Mang, as long as they control the 13 Cities of Mount Mang, the mountain would be theirs sooner or later. As long as they get Mount Mang, the Myriad Buddha Temple and the Tianyi Dao Sect's territories would expand. This was much more cost-effective compared to their slow expansion.
Perhaps it was because of this idea that the Great Sects of the Demon Realm were ready to make a move. They were preparing to make a move on a chaotic place in the Demon Realm in order to expand their territory.
In the Demon Realm, there were several chaotic places like the 13 Cities of Mount Mang. At this time, the Great Sects were preparing to make a move on one of them.
However, Zhao Hai knew that the Demon Realm was different from the Righteous Dao Alliance. The chaotic places in the Demon Realm were also controlled by some forces. Moreover, the fights between the Great Sects of the Demon Realm were very fierce. Additionally, the actions of the Great Sects of the Demon Realm had already caused the dissatisfaction of the Medium Sects. If the Great Sects of the Demon Realm were to attack a chaotic place, then the Medium Sects might retaliate.
If the Demon Realm were to become chaotic, then it would be very lively. In fact, Zhao Hai was very clear that the Demon Realm shouldn't have become chaotic. In the beginning, they wanted to deal with the Righteous Dao Alliance. But later on, the Righteous Dao Alliance started to expand. This made the Great Sects of the Demon Realm aware that the Righteous Dao Alliance was aware of their plans. If they were to attack the Righteous Dao Alliance at this time, then they wouldn't be able to obtain any benefits.
Because of this, the Great Sects of the Demon Realm wanted to increase their strength before dealing with the Righteous Dao Alliance. However, in Zhao Hai's view, they had already lost their opportunity. Doing so now would be meaningless.
Although the Great Sects of the Demon Realm hadn't made their move yet, it would be soon. Because of this, Zhao Hai was paying attention to the Demon Realm.
After understanding the situation of the Demon Realm, Zhao Hai also understood the situation of the Sea Exploring Sect. The Sea Exploring Sect was currently developing very well. Some people had already settled in Sky City. The construction of the Sky City had already been completed. However, because there was no way to fly, there was no way to define the Sky City. Zhao Hai's meaning was very clear. If Sky City could fly, then it would become the new headquarters of the Sea Exploring Sect. If it couldn't fly, then it could only become a branch of the Sea Exploring Sect.
However, aside from Sky City, the other places were developing very well. The islands in the South Sea were now filled with people. Because of the Spirit Pool Mountain, the number of people in the Sea Exploring Sect had increased. A lot of people were now assigned to the 72 islands in the South Sea. Because of this, the number of people in the 72 islands had increased.
Because of the Sea Exploring Sect's management system, the Sea Exploring Sect's strength developed very quickly. Although it had only been a year, the number of experts in the Sea Exploring Sect had increased by a lot.
The strength of the Sea Exploring Sect had a lot to do with the previous war. Whether it was the disciples of the Profound Sky Sect Alliance or the disciples of the 33 islands of the South Sea, all of them had clashed with the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance. This kind of experience was very precious to them. Not only did it allow them to deepen their understanding of cultivation, it also allowed them to refine their minds.
It was precisely because of this that after every great battle, a group of experts would emerge from each sect. These people might originally have mediocre cultivation aptitude, but after a great battle, their cultivation speed would begin to advance by leaps and bounds. This had an inseparable relationship with the trial of the slaughter process.
However, if it were other sects, they might not have so many experts. The reason why the Sea Exploring Sect had so many experts was also related to their training method.
The Scouring Sea Sect was the only sect in the entire Sword Spirit Boundary that adopted the academy system. At the same time, it was the only sect that established records and cultivation methods for all its disciples. It was precisely because of this complete set of records and cultivation methods that the majority of the Scouring Sea Sect's disciples were able to obtain the most suitable cultivation method for them. Therefore, the disciples of the Scouring Sea Sect were able to improve much faster than the disciples of other sects.
In the Sea Exploring Sect, all disciples had their own missions. One of the most important missions was to teach the weaker disciples. For example, some disciples in the Energy Returning to Spirit Realm would explain some of the problems they encountered in the process of cultivation. Some experts in the Energy Returning to Spirit Realm would explain some of the problems they encountered in the Energy Returning to Spirit Realm to the Energy Returning to Spirit Realm.
This was a long-term mission. Even in the Sea Exploring Sect, every high-ranking disciple would automatically carry such a mission. The Sea Exploring Sect even had a written rule that if a low-ranking disciple asked a high-ranking disciple some cultivation questions, the high-ranking disciple couldn't refuse to answer for no reason. If the high-ranking disciple refused to answer, the low-ranking disciple could report it to the sect and the sect would deal with it. There would be a certain punishment, a suspension of cultivation resources, or some more difficult missions.
When the high-ranking disciple answered the questions of the low-ranking disciple, the high-ranking disciple could collect a certain amount of contribution points from the low-ranking disciple. The amount wasn't much, only one contribution point per question. If the high-ranking disciple answered the question well, the low-ranking disciple could give the high-ranking disciple more contribution points. The high-ranking disciple could even be rewarded by the sect.
This kind of system made low-level disciples happy to seek advice from high-level disciples, while high-level disciples were happy to provide answers to low-level disciples. In addition, with the help of the elders and mentors in the sect, the majority of the difficulties that the low-level disciples of the Sea Exploring Sect encountered in their cultivation could be solved. This naturally made their progress faster.
Of course, there was no lack of trials and sect missions. After all, the Scouring Sea Sect nurtured cultivators, not students. They couldn't let the disciples of the Scouring Sea Sect live in an ivory tower all the time. Otherwise, the disciples they nurtured would only end up dead once they left the Scouring Sea Sect.
The development of the Sea Exploring Sect was exactly what Zhao Hai wanted to see. He had always disagreed with the way the various sects in the Cultivation World cultivated their disciples. That kind of cultivation method could cultivate some strong disciples, but those disciples didn't have any sense of identity with the sect. If something happened to the sect in the future, those disciples would absolutely not make any sacrifices for the sect. This might seem like nothing. After all, the goal of a cultivator was longevity. Why should they sacrifice themselves for the sect? However, if a sect's people thought this way, then the sect would be finished. A sect, from its establishment to its development, relied on the sacrifice of some people. If the sect was afraid of sacrifice and the sect was also afraid of sacrifice, then how could the sect develop? Why didn't you think that you could reach where you are today all because the sect nurtured you? The sect nurtured you, but when the sect was in trouble, you ran away. Such a person couldn't even be considered a person, let alone a cultivator. Thinking about defying the heavens and changing one's fate, immortality? It was all nonsense.
The Sea Exploring Sect attached great importance to this point. Their education of their disciples was very successful. They made their disciples understand that only when the Sea Exploring Sect was good would they be better. If the Sea Exploring Sect was destroyed one day, then these people would be nothing. Even if they were chosen by other sects because of their strength, they would still carry the mark of the Sea Exploring Sect. It was impossible for the other sects to trust them 100%. Therefore, if they wanted to live a better life, then there was only one way to make the Sea Exploring Sect better.
After understanding the situation of the Sea Exploring Sect and dealing with some other matters, Zhao Hai went to rest. He had been working very hard this year. If he were to do it himself, then this large artifact would've already been made. However, he wanted to improve the refining and formation techniques of the Sea Exploring Sect. Therefore, he needed to do a lot of things. He needed to make these people learn these techniques without letting them know that he was the one who taught them. To be honest, this was very difficult.
