Chapter 1088: The Colossal Leg of the Sky

As everyone stood frozen, seemingly still in disbelief, Xiong Zhong smiled and chimed in to reassure the crowd.

"Really, there's no need to be so polite. We're all from the same sect, one family—no need for formalities between us!"

"It's just a pair of gloves, nothing much at all."

He spoke the truth. Gloves were plentiful at the construction site. Many bricklayers had a pair, and so did many of the laborers. They weren’t rare items at all. If he and his father hadn’t arrived late, they might have gotten a pair sooner.

It wasn’t entirely true that he didn’t feel a pang of regret giving the gloves away. But Xiong Zhong knew in his heart that the Moon God Pavilion had gone all out for him and his father, and it was only right to show their gratitude. Besides, if they worked hard at the construction site, not only gloves but even the position of a team leader could be within reach!

And then...

Gloves, hard hats, work uniforms, and even the terrifying brick cutter—wouldn’t they be easy to obtain? Thinking this way, giving away a pair of gloves wasn’t a big deal.

These items were commonplace at the construction site, used for moving bricks and mixing mortar. But to the Moon God Pavilion, they represented a significant upgrade, enough to change the fate of the sect!

Making the most of resources was the best strategy, and this gift was more than appropriate.

Having undergone a transformation, Xiong Zhong’s perspective had broadened, and he continued to reassure everyone with tact.

"Everyone, there’s no need to dwell on it."

"In the future, my father and I will bring other things that will surely be of great help to the Moon God Pavilion. These items, though rare, are but a drop in the ocean compared to what we have access to in the place we serve!"

"We earned these through our own efforts, so please accept them without worry."

His words were well-intentioned, but they once again left everyone stunned!

Heaven-tier gloves, not even worth a drop in the ocean? By serving with their abilities, they could obtain such treasures?

"Hisss!"

Several elders turned pale at the words, nearly petrified!

What kind of terrifying force could have such immense resources? In the face of such a force, even the Domain Mansion Heavenly Sect would pale in comparison!

No wonder Elder Xiong and his son dared to speak so boldly and outrageously before. It turned out they had reached such a terrifying level.

To serve in such a formidable force was truly a heaven-sent opportunity!

The Moon God Pavilion’s master and the others were left speechless, their hearts surging with waves of astonishment.

In just a few words, their understanding had been completely reshaped.

The once-mighty Moon God Pavilion master felt like a frog at the bottom of a well, realizing how shallow his knowledge was. Holding the gloves, his hands trembled, overwhelmed by immense shock.

In those few words, a colossal, sky-shrouding figure had already formed in his mind.

The terrifying power and depth of this force were likely just the tip of the iceberg!

Qing Yin Xianyun’s face turned pale, her eyes filled with caution as she nervously held the gloves, sensing an aura of profound mystery emanating from the Xiong father and son.

A wave of awe spread, enveloping everyone in the Moon God Pavilion in reverence and shock.

Seeing the gloves accepted, Xiong Fen showed a satisfied expression.

His gaze lingered on Qing Yin Xianyun, and with a hint of admiration, he pulled out a crumpled piece of paper from his sleeve.

"Saintess, here’s a fragment of a secret manual. Take it, study it carefully, and it will surely be of great benefit to you!"

Qing Yin Xianyun trembled at his words and quickly put away the gloves.

With both hands, she respectfully accepted the paper, her heart filled with caution and fear.

Looking closely, she saw four bold, flowing characters at the top:

"Brick-Moving Notes...?"

The handwriting exuded an unfathomable Dao charm, yet it was extremely cryptic and hard to understand. The title didn’t resemble that of a typical cultivation manual, leaving her utterly confused.

Xiong Zhong smiled meaningfully and offered a casual explanation.

"Indeed! These are the Brick-Moving Notes!"

"This is a peerless fragment that I stumbled upon in the place I serve. If you can comprehend the principles within, it will benefit you for a lifetime. My breakthrough to the Heaven Tier and even the creation of my 'Brick-Moving Palm' were inspired by insights from this fragment!"

The terrifying Brick-Moving Palm was derived from this manual? And this was just a fragment?

The grade of this manual must be beyond imagination!

Qing Yin Xianyun’s delicate hands trembled as she held the paper, her mind tense.

The elders beside her were equally shocked and awed, their eyes briefly flashing with fervor before they averted their gazes, their hands rubbing together in excitement, as if they had received the manual themselves!

Once again, they looked at Xiong Fen with deep respect.

Xiong Fen, however, remained calm, his hands clasped behind his back as he sighed.

"In the future, I hope all the elders will work together to develop the sect."

"Although my son and I have a place to serve, we will never forget the Moon God Pavilion. We will support it wholeheartedly. No matter what challenges arise, we will stand firmly behind you!"

His voice was as steady as a mountain, filling the room with inspiration!

Elder Xiong’s words undoubtedly gave everyone immense confidence. The once-distant dream of reaching the level of the Domain Mansion Heavenly Sect now seemed within reach.

Thinking of the terrifyingly powerful mysterious force and the promises made by the Xiong father and son, everyone’s eyes overflowed with gratitude and determination.

This wasn’t just clinging to a powerful ally—it was embracing a colossal, sky-piercing leg!

With such a backer in the future, the Domain Mansion Heavenly Sect was no longer a pipe dream.

They bowed deeply, their voices shaking the heavens!

"We will follow Elder Xiong’s guidance and vow to develop the sect with our lives!"

By the time everyone rose, the father and son had already accomplished their mission and retreated.

Without anyone noticing, they had vanished into the void, leaving only ripples in the space before them.

"Bestowing favors without seeking repayment—truly humbling..."

"Elder Xiong’s virtue is truly lofty!"

"With such an opportunity, our Moon God Pavilion will surely stand tall in the Southern Sky Domain!"

"Congratulations to the Pavilion Master, congratulations to the Saintess!"

"We thank Elder Xiong!"

Excitement filled the air as the Moon God Pavilion’s master beamed with enthusiasm.

Qing Yin Xianyun was also swept up in the elders’ excitement.

Clutching the peerless manual in her hands, she felt as if she were in a dream.

In just a few short days, Elder Xiong and his son had undergone such a transformation. Their words and actions carried an air of profound mystery, and they had bestowed upon her a heaven-sent opportunity. Such generosity was truly hard to believe.

Recalling their words, Qing Yin Xianyun felt immense reverence for the mysterious force. Her horizons had suddenly expanded, and she was filled with anticipation for the future.

At the same time, she was deeply grateful to the two of them.

She bowed deeply toward the fading ripples, her eyes filled with determination.

"Thank you, Elder Xiong, thank you, Young Master Xiong."

"I will live up to this responsibility and make the Moon God Pavilion a Domain Mansion Heavenly Sect!"

Far away, tens of thousands of miles distant.

The Xiong father and son were strolling through the sky, their faces showing the relief of a mission accomplished.

As they approached the Ancient Corridor, Xiong Fen sighed deeply, his eyes shining with extraordinary excitement.

"Son, from now on, we must work a hundred times harder!"

"It’s a tremendous blessing that we were able to enter Shadow Island. We must seize this opportunity. The Moon God Pavilion’s master and the others have treated us well. Our luck has turned around, and it’s a new beginning for us!"

"We owe the Moon God Pavilion a lot. In the future, we must not only work for ourselves but also carry the hopes of everyone. We must strive to earn rewards and support the Moon God Pavilion to the best of our abilities!"

Xiong Zhong nodded understandingly, his face showing a newfound maturity.

"Father, you’re absolutely right!"

"Fortunately, we returned early, or the Moon God Pavilion would have suffered because of us. They’ve been so generous to us, and from now on, we must not judge others with a petty mindset. We must do our best to support the Moon God Pavilion!"

Hearing this, Xiong Fen nodded in satisfaction.

"Son, your perspective has grown! Well done!"

"Let’s complete our tasks quickly and then consult with the team leader when we return. Let’s see if the construction site needs more people. If they’re hiring, that would be perfect!"

Xiong Zhong’s eyes lit up with realization and joy.

"Right! If we can get a few elders to join the construction site and move bricks, more hands will mean greater gains. That’s much better than relying solely on the two of us!"

"How did I not think of that? Father, you’re truly wise!"

Xiong Fen stroked his beard and nodded, a look of "old ginger" wisdom on his face.

"Haha, who do you think your father is? Watch and learn, my boy!"

The father and son shared a light laugh, their spirits high as they sped toward the Ancient Corridor!
