I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 595 The Crying Child... (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Danxi returned to Cangling Sect and began her seclusion. All the sects in the entire Eastern Continent were busy preparing for the construction of the Seventy-Two Demon-Suppressing Passes.

Jiang Yi didn't even have time to help Hong Li refine Xia Changying's primordial spirit before being summoned back by the Lingxu Sword Sect.

When Jiang Yi returned to the sect and met the sect leader, Mingzhu Sword Lord, she received another piece of bad news.

"You know, our sect... is relatively poor."

Although Mingzhu tried his best to appear dignified, there was a hint of guilt in his eyes.

Jiang Yi was stunned and asked incredulously, "So, Sect Master, you mean you want me to build an island empty-handed?"

Mingzhu gave an awkward twitch of her lips. "The sect will count your contribution points as double, no, triple!"

"What good is three times the amount! The sect's treasury is overflowing with items, don't think I don't know!"

Jiang Yi was getting angry. After returning from the Floating Light Sea, she was told that she would be given a large sum of contribution points, but when she went to the Internal Affairs Hall to exchange for materials, she was told that she could only make an order and that the materials would be delivered within ten years. The final interpretation right still belonged to the Internal Affairs Hall.

Do you know how poor the Lingxu Sword Sect has become? Every time materials are exchanged at the Internal Affairs Hall, delivery is delayed.

After placing the order, a task will be posted immediately, sending disciples out to collect the items, with the reward being contribution points.

It's a vicious cycle!
"Ahem!" Mingzhu coughed, clenching his fist. "It's not that you came back too late. You weren't here when resources were being allocated the other day. Because there weren't enough resources, Shi Zhenyunxiu and the others even had a fight. Whoever won got to choose first, and they've all chosen."

Jiang Yi's vision blurred. If she were there, she could take on ten of them and make sure they didn't get a single brick.

Unfortunately, she went to watch her master kill Xia Chang and win.

Jiang Yi suspected they did it on purpose, but had no evidence.

"If you don't have resources, you can always find people, right? You don't expect me, a dignified Nascent Soul cultivator, to personally carry bricks and build walls, do you?"

After asking this question, Jiang Yi looked at Mingzhu's expression and her heart skipped a beat.

Mingzhu said with difficulty, "The Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect have all gone to move mountains and fill seas, most of the Core Formation cultivators have taken on construction tasks, 80% of the Golden Core disciples of the Ten Great Sword Pavilions have been taken away, and half of the Foundation Establishment disciples of the inner and outer sects have also been taken away. The rest are the sect's seedlings, and cannot be touched."

Jiang Yi staggered back two steps, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

She rubbed her forehead and asked, "What can that sect offer me?"

"Emotional support?"

"Can I not go?"

No! You are important!

"Is this the treatment you get for something so important?"

"Heaven is about to bestow a great responsibility upon this person..."

"Farewell!"

Jiang Yi didn't give him any face and turned to leave. Mingzhu even chased after her for a few steps and asked loudly, "Where are you going?"

"I'll go find outside help!"

Jiang Yi went straight to the Kunlun Secret Realm to find Daoist Chonghe after leaving the Lingxu Sword Sect, but he didn't find him.

But it doesn't matter, Chonghe Daojun has legs to run, and there's someone else who can't run away.

Jiang Yi returned to the Trial Tower, hugged the Kunlun Dao Stele, and began to cry.

"...The Mountain and Sea Realm is already on the verge of collapse. The glory that Kunlun left for humanity is about to be destroyed by the demonic tide. As the last remaining vestige of Kunlun's will in the Mountain and Sea Realm, you cannot stand idly by. If Kunlun abandons humanity, then humanity is doomed. In just a few years, the demonic tide will rush here and swallow even your monument!"

"If you just swallow it and it's gone, that would be fine. But I'm afraid that under the influence of the demonic tide, you will turn to the dark side and go from protecting humanity to helping the demonic tide harm humanity. If the ancestors of Kunlun were to see this, how heartbroken they would be. How would you have the face to face the ancestors of Kunlun again? Don't you think so?"

Jiang Yi had only rambled on for a couple of minutes when the Kunlun Dao Stele suddenly shone brightly, knocking her arm away from the stele.

Immediately afterwards, a golden light shot into Jiang Yi's brow, and a blueprint for an octagonal city and fortress appeared in Jiang Yi's mind, including the layout of every place, the crafting of every brick and stone, and the array patterns on every piece of wood, all clearly shown.

But Jiang Yi showed no joy whatsoever; her face grew increasingly sullen. "What's the use of giving me the blueprints? I have no materials! Forget the talisman bricks needed, I can't even find a single tree branch. Are you suggesting I chop down ordinary wood to build a city? What good would that do?"

The light on the Kunlun Dao Stele flickered, like a person's heavy and labored breathing.

Jiang Yi looked at the Kunlun Dao Stele, blinking expectantly.

In the end, the Kunlun Dao Stele compromised.

Another golden light threw Jiang Yi into a primeval forest hidden somewhere in the Kunlun Secret Realm, a place little known to most people.

The scene before me was extremely similar to the ancient secret realm projection I had experienced before, yet it felt incredibly real.

The towering trees, with their canopies that block out the sky, leaving only scattered specks of light, are covered in a thick layer of decaying leaves that have accumulated over countless years. The leaves are soft and silent underfoot, and the damp earth smells mingle with the fresh fragrance of grass and trees.

Jiang Yi's gaze was instantly drawn to the surrounding trees.

"Millennial ironwood?! No... this texture and grain are probably from an ancient ironwood tree that's over ten thousand years old!"

Jiang Yi's eyes lit up. This level of spirit wood was a top-tier material for refining high-level large-scale magic treasures, flying boat dragon bones, and even building sect palaces.

In the Eastern Continent, a single hair as thick as a person's embrace would be priceless, but here...

As far as the eye can see, the boundless dense forest is filled with these ancient trees!
She immediately released her divine sense to explore further, beyond the vast forest, and the outline of a peculiar mountain range came into view.

The mountain range is composed of massive rock layers of five distinct colors: gold, blue, black, red, and yellow, each with its own unique primordial spiritual light flowing beneath.

"Five Elements Spiritual Ore Vein!"

Jiang Yi's heart pounded violently a few times. This was simply natural, top-grade foundation stone for building a city and precious material for refining weapons!

Kunlun, oh Kunlun, I never knew you were hiding so much wealth!
Not far away was a stone house camp. Jiang Yi walked over and pushed open the door, only to find it filled with all kinds of tools for cutting down trees and mining. Each one was extremely heavy, obviously designed to deal with the hard materials in this place.

Jiang Yi hurriedly went outside and bowed deeply to the sky.

"Thank you for Kunlun's gift. With Kunlun, humanity is like the rising sun over the mountains and seas! In the future, when I build this Bagua city on the sea, I will definitely name it 'Kunlun Pass'!"

Straightening up, Jiang Yi immediately summoned the sword-nurturing gourd.

"Everyone's out working!"

Jiang Yi waved his hand and released all the demons.

As soon as Qingxiao came out, he was enveloped by the rich spiritual wood aura, making him dizzy. He immediately jumped up an ancient tree, but after climbing up, he found that the one next to it was better, so he quickly changed his target and then found another one.
After finishing this one, I move on to that one, and after finishing that one, I move on to this one...

Zhenshan sensed the earth's energy emanating from the distant Five-Colored Spirit Mine and couldn't help but swallow hard. "Master, where is this?"

Jiang Yi didn't explain, "Gather all the wood and ore here, and also bring back some water and mud from the lake and ponds. Fill all our storage bags, storage magic items, and warehouses to the brim!"

"We need enough wood to build city walls, palaces, and skyscrapers! We need enough ore to pave the foundation, cast array plates, and refine magical artifacts! At the very least, we need enough to build a magnificent city!"

"it is good!"

The demons all agreed and got busy. Duan Jin released all the puppets, Hua Gu and Hong Li split up and acted, and Jiang Yi even pulled out the little snow demons in Youxian Ferry to work.

The entire secret realm suddenly became lively.

The clanging of metal against metal, the roar of rocks shattering, and the thud of giant trees falling mingled together, sparks flying and dust billowing.

Jiang Yi left the sword-nurturing gourd here temporarily, asking Zhu Xin to help watch over and manage the demons. She then left the Kunlun Secret Realm without stopping and headed straight for the Cangling Sect.

Upon arriving at the Cangling Sect and seeing Grandmaster Suhua, Jiang Yi rushed over and began to cry.

"Grandmaster! The Lingxu Sword Sect is bullying us! They won't give me any manpower to build the city! Grandmaster, you have to help me! You're my only grandmaster..."

　See you tomorrow~
