Could it be that I am the cruel villain?

It seems very satisfied with everyone's expressions, the Sect Master smiled gently, these children knew nothing about many matters of the previous generation, nor did they deliberately inquire on ordinary days, so.

The martial arts ceremony held every few decades has become the best way for disciples to remember these predecessors.

"Pure Fire Colored Glaze Lamp, a lower Earth Rank Magic Treasure."

"This item is also a legacy of our Purple Cloud Immortal Palace, refined over a thousand years, personally crafted by Ancestor Nan Qing, following The Founder in crusades, burning countless demons, establishing distinguished achievements."

"Nine hundred years ago, the five fortresses in the south attacked our sect northward, injuring countless disciples, and The Forefather was furious. Eventually, he personally led six great protectors south to resist the enemy, annihilating countless evil spirits, and the Pure Fire Colored Glaze Lamp became famous in that battle!"

"Fire restrains evil and poisonous creatures, even the Southern Border Witch Clan cannot stir a ripple before the Glaze Fire, merely opening the lamp mouth to let the Glaze Fire pour down achieves victory, even steel forged stone is regarded as nothing before it, comparable to Samadhi True Fire.

"Two hundred years ago, your former senior brother Nan Xiangzi smoothly won the title in the Nine Peaks martial arts, being the great-grandson of Ancestor Nan Qing, after winning, without hesitation, he chose the Pure Fire Colored Glaze Lamp left by the ancestor."

"Years later, when the Cangqiong Cave Heaven opened, Nan Xiangzi led a group of elite disciples into the cave heaven, overcoming strong enemies, burning hypocrisy and greed with the Glaze Fire, suppressing disciples of various sects completely."

"In the subsequent hundred and fifty years, he still defeated countless enemies with the Glaze Fire, establishing remarkable achievements for the Purple Cloud Palace, yet the heavens are jealous of talents, about fifty years ago, during the Three Realms turmoil, he was unfortunate to be heavily injured, his flesh destroyed, Divine Soul vanished."

"Thus, his relic and this lamp were handed over to his former sect, now kept by Chi Xiao Peak."

"Today at the martial arts ceremony, this item is personally taken out as a reward, hoping disciples can learn the style of predecessors from this Pure Fire Colored Glaze Lamp!"

Another significant bombshell.

Top-tier Magic Treasures, each has an extraordinarily intriguing history, along with Sect Master Gu Yuanshan personally explaining, these stories, backgrounds, characters, were all prominent figures back in the day, geniuses among geniuses.

Many disciples have even seen those ancestral tablets in various halls or while worshiping ancestors, briefly engraved with their life stories, but none can compare to the Sect Master personally telling these stories.

Even Jiang Feng couldn't help but nod, not only admiring those predecessors of the Purple Cloud Palace but also recognizing Sect Master Gu Yuanshan, because he doesn't usually have contact with the Sect Master, so he doesn't know what he excels at.

But just these few short sentences made him understand why Gu Yuanshan became the Sect Master and held power for such a long time securely.

"Indeed formidable, truly formidable, excellent means."

"There are many ways to brainwash people, if brainwashing daily with all sorts of ideologies, that only makes people the most stupid and lowest cattle and horses, and such a group has no true cohesion."

"Everyone merely listens to someone because of habit and fear, but the Sect Master's means are truly formidable."

"Using the prizes at hand as bait, based on the strict selection system and cultivation benefits of the Purple Cloud Palace, while providing protection to numerous disciples, it also confers them confidence, making them loyal to the sect."

"Taking the stories of predecessors as the basis, gathering people's hearts, coupled with such abundant prizes, even replacing myself, I would be tempted."

"Passive control and active dedication are always two concepts, this heap of prizes not only rewards outstanding disciples but also showcases strength, winning people's hearts."

"Each high-grade Magic Treasure and Cultivation Technique carries a very intriguing and twisted story, Earth Rank Magic Treasures inherited for at least hundreds of years, passing through several generations of inheritors, thus there are naturally many stories."

"Admire."

Deep breath.

The Sect Master on stage continues, not just those few Earth Rank Magic Treasures, but various mysterious rank Magic Treasures, those taken out by the sect to reward disciples are naturally of impeccable quality.

Including Cultivation Techniques, Elixirs, these items of quality are all not lacking, after careful sorting, there are actually over a hundred pieces!

It shows how deep and abundant the foundation of Purple Cloud Palace truly is, although a part of it comes from gifts from those external monarchs or secular forces, it still proves many things.

"Really damn wealthy... hiss, more than twenty of the third-grade Body Tempering Pill? More than ten Heart Nurturing Pills, plus Burning Body Pill, Jade Clearing Pill..."

"Purple Auspicious Fruit, Divine Fire Feather, Coiled Dragon Stone Fire, Night Light Demon Pearl, Red Lotus Sand, these are all top-grade materials, some to eat, some to drink, some for refining, and weapons are in abundance, looking around, not a single inferior product."

"No wonder everyone wants to enter the sect; if I were a Loose Cultivator, seeing all Purple Cloud Palace disciples equipped like this, I might break my head trying to squeeze in."

"Before I doubted whether this Sect Master had some issues, whether to trust, but now I see it was I who was too superficial."

"Sister was right, the Sect Master perhaps indeed has thoughts concerning Swordmaster Peak, unspeakable concerns, but his primary or main aim always remains for the sect."

"Just judging from today's display, no wonder he rose to power, rather than my master whom I have never seen."

This so-called opening ceremony lasted the entire day.
