"Cloud Shadow?" Yun Meilan repeated. Her curiosity was piqued when she saw Yun Lintian's current expression… He seems to recall something in the past. Is the name has something to do with him? Yun Meilan thought.
Yun Lintian recollected his thoughts and changed the topic. "You can go. I'll continue to look for more profound arts. Come to me when you're done with the selection."
Yun Meilan nodded and went out of the Library with the Shadow God Scripture in her hand.
Yun Lintian continued to look at the profound art list and discovered familiar names. "Record of Life? Myriad Formation Scripture?"
He was surprised when he saw these two profound arts. Previously, he always practiced a remnant version of them and already gave up on finding another piece to make them complete. He didn't expect to see a complete version here. Without further ado, Yun Lintian went to find both profound arts and came back to the counter.
"Amazing. I never thought both of them are actually a Primordial rank profound art." Yun Lintian flipped through page after page on Record of Life and was amazed by the content. He suddenly thought of something and muttered to himself, "How come the remnant version of them appeared in the Misty Cloud Sect? Who exactly is the sect's founder?"
Thinking of this, Yun Lintian called Lynn and asked for a history book related to the Azure World. Unfortunately, there was no such book in the Library. He suspected the Misty Cloud Sect's Founder had something to do with his old man. Otherwise, his old man wouldn't tell his subordinate to bring him here. Not to mention the Beyond Heaven King's Crown was being kept within the sect.
Yun Lintian did not linger on this topic further. He believed everything would automatically appear as his strength grows. All he needed to do at this moment was to practice and developed the sect well.
"Lintian, I've already understood how the electricity works." Yun Lingwei arrived before Yun Lintian and said excitedly.
"That's great. Have you figured out how to generate the electricity?" Yun Lintian was elated upon hearing this. With this, he could start the building project right away.
Yun Lingwei put a drawing on the counter and explained, "Here, look at this. According to the Earth's technology, there are many ways to generate electricity such as using natural gas, coal, oil, hydro or nuclear. However, we can use profound energy to generate it directly by using an energy conversion formation. I've written everything on this paper. The rest is up to you."
Yun Lintian looked at the drawing and found it was not difficult to create the formation. He pondered for a moment and said, "There are two ways. First, we can directly inscribe the formation on the devices, but this method is too troublesome and waste our time. Therefore, we will choose the second method. We will build a generator up and connect it with a power cable. Thankfully, Lynn helped us with a complete building design. We don't have to burn our brains design the power layout by ourselves."
"Let me see!" Yun Lingwei's eyes lit up. She was eager to see the building design. After reading Earth's building infrastructure system, she was fascinated by its novel appearance. Compared to the typical ancient building in this world, it was more pleasant to the eyes.
Yun Lintian took out all the designs and placed them on the counter. Yun Lingwei quickly skimmed through enthusiastically.
"Beautiful. Especially these seven pagodas. They have a good proportion by mixing between ancient and modern styles… Hmm… From the twenty-second to the twenty-fourth floor is the treasury? Not bad. Our chambers will be on the twenty-first floor?" Yun Lingwei was engrossed in the design.
Yun Lintian didn't interrupt her as he was thinking of the next step. Several materials were missing for the time being. He planned to go out and buy them with Yun Huanxin after he reached the Essence Profound Realm.
"I'll transform your Profound Vein first. Can you call Qingrou here?" Yun Lintian said.
Yun Lingwei reluctantly left the design and went to call Yun Qingrou, who was on the outside as the transmission jade was useless in the Library.
After a while, Yun Lingwei came back with Yun Qingrou.
"I'm going to transform both of you now. After this, you can study this." Yun Lintian handed the Record of Life and the Myriad Formation Scripture to them.
"This is a complete version!?" Both Yun Lingwei and Yun Qingrou were surprised and became excited.
"Yes. Lingwei, you come first." Yun Lintian beckoned Yun Lingwei to sit on the chair nearby and summoned the Crown out.
The transformation process was completed in the next thirty minutes and Yun Lintian was lying limp on the ground, fainted.
The next morning, Yun Lintian woke up and found himself in his bedroom. Rubbing his temples for a while, he sighed and decided to start practicing today. Otherwise, he would continue to faint like this every time he uses the power.
"You're awake? Come, drink some water." Yun Qianxue walked into the room with a glass of water in her hand.
Yun Lintian felt warmth and accepted the glass from her. "Thank you." He drank all the water and asked, "How's everyone doing?"
Yun Qianxue replied, "Currently, more than half of the required water pipes have been completed. Sister Lingwei has already done a quality check and found no problem. As for the Heavenly Sandalwood and the Serene Bamboo, it's already complete as well. They're waiting for your instruction."
Yun Lintian was satisfied with the progress and said, "Can you gather everyone in front of the villa in ten minutes? I've something to tell them."
Yun Qianxue accepted the task readily and went out. Yun Lintian followed her out after finishing washing his face.
In front of the villa, almost one thousand people had already gathered and discussed among themselves in a low voice.
Yun Lintian found a microphone and amplifier and arrived at the scene. He set up everything and said with the microphone, "Hello test, one, two, three. Okay, it's good now."
Everyone was immediately attracted by the amplifier as they were curious what was this black box? It could amplify Yun Lintian's voice without consuming profound energy.
"Alright, today I have something to tell all of you. I hope everyone listens carefully to what I am going to say next." Yun Lintian stood calmly and looked at everyone.
"As all of you've aware, we are currently running away from the enemy. Because of what?" Yun Lintian paused for a moment and said, "That's right. Because we are too weak… Because we are too weak, our sisters have to die! Because we are too weak, the Misty Cloud Peak was snatched away by the enemy! Because we are too weak, we have to run away like a loser!"
Yun Lintian's words were akin to sharp blades stabbed right through everyone's heart. They were clenching their fists and gritting their teeth with hatred when they recalled the scene where their sisters died in front of them and they were powerless to help them.
"You hate yourself for being a weakling, right? But what can you do about it?.. I think everyone knows the answer. If you want to change your fate, you need strength! Hence From today onward, I will teach all of you a new profound art that is better than the Misty Cloud Profound Art." Yun Lintian's eyes swept on everyone as he continued, "However, what I want in exchange is absolute loyalty, are you willing?"
Everyone raised their head to look at Yun Lintian. No word came out. Their expression had already told him everything as he could see a firm determination and unwavering wills within their eyes.
Yun Lintian nodded, "Good! You have to remember no matter what, you cannot leak the secret of this place to anyone, even you have to lose your life, understood?"
"We understood!" Everyone said in unison.
Yun Lintian continued, "From now on, except for the Hall Masters and the Twelves Elders, all of you will have equal status. You will be the sister of the same generation, regardless of your current profound strength. You will understand this in a while."
"Of course, we are still the Misty Cloud Sect. However, the system will be changed entirely. The Twelves Elders will become a teacher and the Hall Masters will become a dean of the respective faculty. First, The Battle Faculty. Yun Ruanyu will be the dean of this faculty and the First Elder to the Fourth Elder will be the teacher under her."
"Second, The Alchemy faculty. The dean is Yun Qingrou and the Fifth Elder to the Eighth Elder will be the teacher under her. Third, The Formation faculty, Yun Lingwei will be the dean, and the Ninth Elder to the Twelfth Elder is the teacher under her."
"Fourth, The Forgery faculty. I will be the dean of this faculty until we find a suitable person in the future. Lastly, The Culinary faculty. I will be in charge of this faculty too. Yun Qianxue will be the principal and Yun Meilan will be the vice-principal. As for Yun Huanxin, she will be the principal's secretary."
Yun Lintian looked at everyone's confused expression and said further, "Confused? After we finishing all the buildings, everyone has to study under every faculty. There will be a class every day. I'll tell you the schedule again when the time comes. My ultimate goal is to produce an all-rounder practitioner. I hope you understand my intention."
As his voice fell, everyone immediately reacted. "We understood!" They were excited and looking forward to the future.
