If the outer area of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family could be considered a fortress, then the interior was a marvel of craftsmanship.
After crossing the river, the surrounding environment was incredibly stunning.
The entire interior had nine mountain peaks, known as the Thunder Nine Peaks. Each peak was extremely treacherous, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The Thunder Nine Peaks formed an enclosing shape, with a massive valley in the center, which was the legendary Thunder Valley.
From a geographical advantage perspective, even Niu Gao, who had seen many grand scenes, couldn't help but praise it. This was definitely an excellent treasure land, surpassing even the Clear Sky Sect.
Yang Xiong was also full of joy, but quickly calmed down.
"Elder Bai He, has the area within dozens of miles of Thunder Valley been cleared? I don't want to leave any hidden dangers."
Bai He showed a hint of a smile: "Sect Leader, our Agility Clan disciples have already searched the area within dozens of miles in advance. All personnel loitering or monitoring nearby have been driven away. Now there are no outsiders in Thunder Valley; it completely belongs to our Body Sect."
Yang Xiong nodded: "That's good. Thunder Valley has a total of nine peaks. Besides the main peak, each family will choose one peak as their respective family's base. The other four peaks will also be completely organized; they might have other uses in the future."
"Elder Niu Gao, proceed with the construction of the Sect according to our original plan. Within a month, I need all the Sect's defensive fortifications built, ensuring the Sect is like a fortress, capable of withstanding any theoretical attack."
"Elder Meng Shu, the Body Academy will be led by you to construct the outer area with hired craftsmen. Subsequently, the Body Academy will be divided into inner and outer academies. The inner academy will be directly located on the main peak."
"Elder Yang Wudi, the situation outside Thunder Valley is special. The Breaking Clan will set up the Poison Array and also be responsible for planting medicinal herbs and refining pills. In the future, this might become the true economic source of our Sect."
...
After a series of arrangements, all personnel of the entire Body Sect began to move, preparing to start the construction of their Sect.
Yang Wudi and the others were especially excited. Since leaving the Clear Sky Sect back then, they had basically lived in fear, and even when they were in Cloud Mist Mountain, they felt like they were living under someone else's roof.
Now they were truly building Thunder Valley. This was where their families would be based in the future, and it was their families' true home.
A treasure land like Thunder Valley was something no one dared to imagine before, but now they had actually succeeded, and it had even received the Empire's recognition.
After the Heaven Dou Palace Coup, the fief that Yang Xiong requested from the Heaven Dou Empire was Thunder Valley and the surrounding area of nearly a hundred kilometers. This would be the foundation of everything for the Body Sect in the future.
Moreover, according to Yang Xiong's plan, a city wall would be built directly behind the river. At that time, the entire Thunder Valley would be like a fortress. Even if someone secretly crossed the river, it would be difficult to enter the interior of the Sect, not to mention the Poison Array.
...
In the following period, the entire Thunder Valley was exceptionally busy. Besides the hundreds of people from the Defense Clan who were busy building every day, the thousands of hired craftsmen were all very busy, basically manufacturing various facilities.
Niu Gao directly produced a large amount of defensive equipment, especially some blacksmiths who came with Qing Cheng. They directly built weapons on the city wall. The huge bed crossbows with a width of over three meters and the massive arrows reaching several meters in length made people feel that their power was immense.
After only about ten days of initial construction, everyone from the Four Element Academy also began to arrive at the outer area of Thunder Valley one after another.
This time, it wasn't just Feng Xiaotian and a few others who came, but also their respective deans, and even all the teachers and students.
They were also extremely excited to see the current situation of the Body Sect.
Although according to the plan, the Body Academy was entirely built in the outer area of Thunder Valley, and the Four Element Academy would be four independent departments in the future, all core disciples could cultivate in the inner academy, which was the inner academy of the Body Academy set up on the main peak of Thunder Valley.
The core disciples of the elements were either direct descendants of the four deans, such as the Feng family of the Divine Wind Academy and the Huo family of the Blazing Fire Academy, or exceptionally talented juniors.
Yang Xiong had considered dividing the remaining four peaks of the Thunder Nine Peaks among the families of the Four Element Academy, but after careful consideration, he decided against it.
On one hand, the Four Element Academy was too weak, and on the other hand, they hadn't made any contributions to the Body Sect. They had only just joined, and giving them one-ninth of the mountain peaks would easily cause others to feel unbalanced.
Of course, if any family produced a Titled Douluo or the family grew stronger in the future and made great contributions to the Sect, other arrangements could be made at that time.
According to Yang Xiong's plan, the so-called Thunder Nine Peaks should ideally have a Titled Douluo stationed on each peak. This way, they could respond immediately regardless of the direction of attack.
The most crucial part was the main peak. Yang Xiong planned to cultivate all disciples with Body Martial Souls on the main peak. This would be the true core of the Body Sect and the place for cultivating genuine powerhouses.
Of course, Yang Xiong also arranged for personnel to patrol the area within a radius of several hundred li. This entire area belonged to the Body Sect, but it was generally comprised of ordinary towns and villages. Due to the annihilation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, many people were worried, fearing they would also face a similar catastrophe.
Yang Xiong directly asked Bai He to arrange for personnel to inform all villages that from now on, the area within a radius of several hundred li would be protected by the Body Sect, ensuring everyone's safety.
At the same time, all surrounding small cities would be taken over by personnel arranged by the Agility Clan. From now on, they would be directly managed by personnel arranged by the Body Sect. Even the Martial Soul awakening for everyone within a hundred li radius would be assisted by personnel arranged by the Body Sect.
In short, according to Yang Xiong's arrangements, the entire Thunder Valley, including the area within a radius of several hundred kilometers, would be ruled by the Body Sect from now on, like a relatively independent kingdom.
...
During this time, a major event also occurred in the Soul Master world. The Clear Sky Sect, which had been in seclusion for twenty years, officially announced its return. Especially Tang Xiao, who displayed a soul power of level ninety-seven, almost made the entire Soul Master world tremble.
Although Spirit Hall sternly accused the Clear Sky Sect of violating the agreement from back then and returning to the world without permission, stating that the Clear Sky Sect would face the wrath of Spirit Hall.
However, the Clear Sky Sect did not back down, pointing out that this time they returned in response to the call of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.
The Heaven Dou Imperial Family, in turn, solemnly declared that they welcomed the Clear Sky Sect's return to the Soul Master world and strongly supported the construction of the Clear Sky Sect.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect also issued a statement supporting the Clear Sky Sect's return to the Soul Master world, and the two sects would jointly investigate the evil forces that annihilated the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family.
The new base of the Clear Sky Sect was directly built about a hundred kilometers outside Heaven Dou City, forming a strategic triangle with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Heaven Dou City. It was clear that the three parties had formed an alliance and intended to jointly oppose Spirit Hall.
...
Spirit City, Papal Hall.
At this moment, Pope Bibi Dong's face was extremely grim, and below her were the remaining four Elders and many Cardinals.
Bibi Dong roared, "What a Clear Sky Sect! How dare they violate our original agreement and return to the Soul Master world? Do they really think my Spirit Hall is so easy to bully?"
Below, whether they were Titled Douluo Elders or Cardinals, they all trembled in the face of Bibi Dong's wrath but dared not say anything.
Saintess Hu Liena spoke at this time, "Your Majesty the Pope, according to the information we have received, there are several Titled Douluo within the Clear Sky Sect, especially Tang Xiao, whose strength is formidable. I'm afraid we cannot stop the Clear Sky Sect from returning."
"Furthermore, the Clear Sky Sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Heaven Dou Empire are clearly colluding. Even if we send troops, I'm afraid we will have to face these three major forces simultaneously."
Bibi Dong's face was exceptionally grim, "What a Clear Sky Sect, what a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! They have disrupted my entire plan to rebuild the Seven Great Sects."
Hu Liena quickly said, "Your Majesty, given the current situation, should we still hold a new Sect Assembly?"
A chill appeared on Bibi Dong's face, "Hold it, of course we will hold it. I will grandly convene the Sect Assembly and see if the Clear Sky Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect dare to come to my Spirit City to participate. If we can step on their heads to establish the new Upper Three Sects, then what else can these cowardly turtles say?"
Hu Liena said, "Your Majesty, if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Clear Sky Sect really want to participate in the Sect Assembly, I'm afraid we cannot stop them. They have too many Titled Douluo experts now, and I'm afraid we cannot suppress them."
"Especially Tang Xiao and Sword Douluo, both of them have reached level ninety-seven."
Bibi Dong snorted coldly, "Aren't they just two level ninety-seven Titled Douluo? My Spirit Hall does not lack Titled Douluo."
"Besides, if it weren't for the Great Enshriner's old feelings back then, the Clear Sky Sect would have been completely eradicated by us long ago. Now they dare to return to the world, that's slapping the Great Enshriner's face. I'd like to see what the Great Enshriner can say."
Everyone trembled slightly upon hearing Bibi Dong's words. Although Bibi Dong was powerful, Qian Daoliu was the one everyone feared the most. He was the true number one expert of Spirit Hall.
After a long silence, Bibi Dong spoke, "Is there any other major event in the Soul Master world? Will it affect our Sect Assembly?"
A Cardinal quickly said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, according to reports from our spies, a force has occupied Thunder Valley. This force calls itself the Body Sect and completely disregards our Spirit Hall's orders. They even drove away all of our Spirit Hall's personnel around Thunder Valley."
Bibi Dong was furious. "Are there still people so ignorant of death? It seems my Spirit Hall needs to let them see our fangs. Not just any stray cat or dog dares to oppose our Spirit Hall."
The Cardinal suppressed the fear in his heart. "Your Majesty, this group of people is very extraordinary. They call themselves the Body Sect. Among them, Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, and Bai He have appeared, and these three almost all possess Titled Douluo level strength."
"Furthermore, the Four Element Academy, which we have been trying to win over, has all joined the Body Academy of the Body Sect. The entire Body Sect has displayed extremely strong power, and their number of Soul Masters is probably no less than two thousand."
"And from all aspects, the Body Sect should be even stronger than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family was back then."
Bibi Dong was enraged. "What a Body Sect! Is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect supporting them from behind? I went to such lengths to destroy the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, only to have this insignificant force occupy Thunder Valley."
The Cardinal said, "Your Majesty, our Spirit Hall's strength has been continuously damaged recently. I'm afraid we cannot simultaneously wage war against the Upper Three Sects again."
Bibi Dong was silent for a long time before speaking. "Ghost Leopard Elder, I trouble you to personally go to the Clear Sky Sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Body Sect. Send them invitations, inviting them to jointly participate in next year's Sect Assembly. At the same time, confirm who the Sect Leader of the Body Sect is and how strong they truly are."
