Immortality: Starting with a grave, I'm invincible when burying corpses.

The first day of the fourth month in the fifteenth year of Ningtai.

On a bright and sunny morning, Mu An arrived at the Five Elements Sect, which was established in his name.

Because the Five Elements Sect is a newly established sect this year, apart from the original hundreds of disciples of the Azure Jade Sect, those who entered this year were either princes and princesses or sons of officials from the Qishan Dao.

In a sense, this place can be considered a large networking center.

Mu An and Mu Ling'er came together. The two circled the entire mountain gate and left more than fifty cultivation techniques in the library that could be practiced to the level of a Celestial Martial Saint, which can be considered as the foundation of the Five Elements Sect.

Five of them were personally compiled by Mu An, who simplified the Five Elements Dao again and again, taking only a few superficial aspects and integrating them into martial arts, ultimately creating five martial arts techniques that could be cultivated all the way to the limit of the Celestial Martial Saint.

These five cultivation manuals were regarded as the most precious treasures of the Five Elements Sect.

Although it was just a newly established sect, the Five Elements Sect's leader, Fang Tian, ​​and a group of elders were all very enthusiastic and built a complex sect system in just a few months.

What are performance points and battle merits, what are sect contributions, what are assessment systems...?

Mu An's eyelids twitched as she looked at the various complicated rules and regulations. She picked up a large pen and crossed out seventy or eighty messy rules in a row.

For a sect that's supposed to be doing this kind of thing, Fang Tian must have something wrong with his head. Even a real sect like Qingyu Sect never did this before, but now that they're building a new sect, they're suddenly all excited about it. Isn't this just plain crazy?

Furthermore, the sect's annual grand meeting, which was held every two weeks, was also directly banned by Mu An.

Holding a sect conference is understandable, and once every six months is already frequent enough, but once every two weeks? What the heck?

Besides, what's called a sect conference is really just gathering the disciples together for these sect leaders and elders to give a boring speech.

All of this left Mu An speechless, wondering where they had learned these things from.

Ever since Wang Le got old and went home to recuperate, strange and unusual things have often happened in Qishan Road, affecting people's good mood.

Mu An was well aware that any power that grows too big will inevitably eventually reach this point, becoming increasingly cumbersome, cumbersome, and prone to formalism.

Every advantage has its disadvantages, and these are inevitable parts of the growth of Qishan Road.

But knowing the reasoning didn't stop Mu An from feeling dissatisfied with Fang Tian and the others. Wang Le hadn't had these troubles when he was the chief strategist, so why couldn't they handle it?

If Wang Le were in charge of this matter, he would surely be able to build the Five Elements Sect into a sect that would satisfy Mu An.

In Mu An's eyes, a sect is a place for cultivation and learning, and the atmosphere should be relaxed, encouraging disciples to explore actively, dare to cause trouble within reasonable limits, and give full play to their creativity.

Its ideal state is not that the sect is my home, but rather a place similar to a school, where people can learn, give full play to their initiative, and allow all kinds of inspirations to collide.

The presence of a large number of exchange students has laid the foundation for the Five Elements Sect's development. These are all powerful and wealthy individuals who won't stay for more than a few years, so it's perfect for them to treat this place as a school.

These old geezers are something else; instead of focusing on academic research, they concentrate on spiritual cultivation.

Instead, they've made the rules and regulations so complicated, obsessing over all sorts of red tape, and I don't know what they're trying to achieve.

The Five Elements Gate was originally built for the princes and princesses who came to exchange ideas, and thus had a certain political bias.

It's no exaggeration to say that within the territory of the Five Elements Sect, even throwing a brick could hit a prince or princess of a nation.

If those princes and princesses were to actually learn these bizarre rules and regulations, and all those red tape, who knows what kind of trouble they would cause once they returned to their own countries!

In the end, even if the big shots make a fuss, it's the ordinary people of these countries who suffer, and it will be another tragedy.

Mu An had no interest in doing things that would harm the people.

After revising a series of rules and regulations, Mu An left the Five Elements Sect a full half day earlier than originally planned.

Although Mu An did not explicitly express his displeasure, his reaction still frightened Fang Tian and a group of elders, who held a meeting overnight to further simplify the sect's rules.

As everyone knows, the Five Elements True Lord is the sun of Qishan Dao. If the True Lord is not satisfied, it means that his subordinates have not done a good job and have failed to understand the True Lord's thoughts.

If this continues, he'll be alienated by the True Lord sooner or later. That's unacceptable.

Thinking of the terrible consequences, Fang Tian and the other members of the Five Elements Sect lost their appetite and hastily ended the banquet.

A dozen or so old men gathered together and discussed late into the night. They were all determined that even if they didn't eat or drink for seven days and seven nights, they would still revise the standards to the point that the True Lord would be satisfied.

That night, sighs echoed through the darkness.

Sigh... It's another day of missing strategist Wang.

"The Sayings of Master Mu" hasn't been updated in over ten years. This book of wise sayings has finally reached its 36th edition, which is simply not enough!

……

Summer of the sixteenth year of Ningtai.

After thirty years of hard work and no expense spared, Daqi has created the first fully-equipped air force of the human race.

On May 15th, the day the legion was established, Emperor Ningxia of the Great Qi Dynasty attended the ceremony and named this legion that soared through the sky the Cloud Sky Army.

The entire Cloud Sky Army possesses a main warship called the Cloud Sky Warship, with a permanent garrison of up to 10,000 men, all of whom are elites.

The Cloud Sky Warship is eight miles long and four miles wide, with a war fortress made of solid stone at its very center.

It is equipped with large talisman cannons, escort formations, and tens of thousands of mechanical constructs. In extreme cases, it can even use these mechanical constructs to carry out suicide attacks.

The four main cannons are positioned in four directions and require the Celestial Martial Saint to operate them. With the aid of a large amount of Yuan Stones, a single strike can blast a mountain thousands of meters high into the ground.

If they were to unleash their full power, they could raze a mountain range with hundreds of peaks to the ground in just one hour.

The thirty-six escort warships were named after the Heavenly Gang, each measuring a kilometer in length and over four hundred meters in width, and equipped with a large number of rapid-fire cannons.

The escort warships also possess a series of elite combat units, including talisman weapons and literary warriors. By replacing manpower with a large number of mechanical creations, they have largely made up for the lack of martial arts practitioners.

The construction of the warships involved countless mechanical engineers and 500,000 skilled craftsmen from across the country.

Emperor Qiwen and Emperor Qishun, two terrestrial immortals of the Great Qi imperial family, personally intervened and successively invited Lin Daofu, the chief worshipper of the imperial family, and Meng Yan, the sage of literature.

The four terrestrial deities joined forces to empty the treasury of the Great Qi Dynasty, thus creating the Cloud Legion to intimidate the world.

Unlike the Apocalypse Warships, which are designed for versatility, the Cloud Legion was designed specifically for war.

If the Apocalypse Warship is a mobile city soaring through the sky, then the Cloud Warship is a true weapon of war.

With the support of thirty-six Heavenly Guardian Ships forming the Heavenly Guardian Formation, the entire Cloud Legion can fight against ordinary terrestrial immortals, and in many aspects, even surpass them.

Unfortunately, even with all the resources of the Great Qi Kingdom, they still couldn't break through the final step.

Its massive size and slow speed meant that the Cloud Warship could only passively defend against or restrain terrestrial immortals, preventing them from leaving easily.

Even though the legion's firepower far exceeded that of ordinary terrestrial immortals, it still had too many shortcomings. It could temporarily trap terrestrial immortals, but it did not have the ability to make them perish.
