The belief of Zoroastrianism was the flame that humans relied on to survive.
In the Western Region of the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, in the eyes of most people in the Western Region,
Zoroastrianism was their belief!
Zoroastrianism recruited elite disciples every three years. This had become a tradition in the Western Region.
When Zoroastrianism recruited elite disciples, it was usually the busiest time in the Western Region.
This was because at that time, Martial, Dao, and Devil Cultivators from all over the Western Region who were confident in their strength would flock to the Four Symbols Sanctums of Zoroastrianism in order to become a disciple of Zoroastrianism.
In their opinion, becoming a disciple of Zoroastrianism was an unparalleled honor!
Naturally, the Fire Worship Sect did not accept just anyone when they recruited elite disciples.
Only those who passed the test set by Zoroastrianism would be able to enter Zoroastrianism and become a disciple of Zoroastrianism.
The test for becoming a disciple of Zoroastrianism was very cruel as well. Many people died in the test every three years.
Even so, there were still many people who went in wave after wave as though they were not afraid of death at all!
"They know there's a tiger in the mountain, but they still insist on going there … The people in the Western Region are crazy!"
In the sky outside the mountain range, Gu Li could not help but click his tongue as he watched the figures flying past him and entering the mountain range.
"Don't tell me you haven't noticed the atmosphere in the Western Region during this one month? More than 70% of the people in the Western Region regard Zoroastrianism as their religion. If you dare to speak ill of Zoroastrianism in front of these people, they'll fight you to the death! "
Zhu Lüqi shook his head. He was already used to this after a month.
"Hurmph! Recruiting elite disciples? That sounds nice … In fact, it's just recruiting some outer disciples for the Four Symbols Sanctums. If you want to enter the Saint Land of Zoroastrianism and become a true elite disciple, you'll have to fight for it yourself! "
Gu Li snorted and said with some dissatisfaction.
The Zoroastrianism encampment was divided into two major areas.
One of these areas was the 'Holy Land' of Zoroastrianism. It stood above the Quasi Immortal-grade Saint Stone mineral deposit and was shrouded in rich spiritual energy all year round. It was the best place for Zoroastrianism to cultivate.
Even in the entire Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, it was still a top-notch cultivation place!
In Zoroastrianism, not just anyone could enter the Holy Land.
In order to enter the Sacred Land, one must first obtain the 'pass' issued by the Four Symbols Sanctums of Zoroastrianism.
Normally, those that were able to obtain a pass were either people with formidable strength, monstrous natural talent, or Saint Refinement Masters, Dao Talisman Masters, or even Saint Inscription Masters with brilliant abilities!
For example, the Medicine King, Sun Ying, who had imprisoned Duan Lingtian and the other two previously. If he wanted to join Zoroastrianism, not only would he be able to obtain a pass to enter the Holy Land immediately, but he might even be summoned by the Sect Leader of Zoroastrianism and be received by him.
His strength was nothing in front of the Sect Leader of Zoroastrianism who was ranked in the top few on the Supreme Saint Ranking.
However, his achievement in the Dao of Alchemy was worthy of being treated with respect by the Sect Leader of Zoroastrianism.
In the history of Zoroastrianism, there were many people who did not obtain a pass to enter the Holy Land even after they had become outer disciples of Zoroastrianism's Four Symbols Sanctums.
Based on this, one could see how precious the pass to enter the Holy Land of Zoroastrianism was!
"The Four Symbols Sanctums … Have all of you decided which Sanctum to go to?"
Duan Lingtian, who was walking side by side with Gu Li and Zhu Lüqi, asked when they saw the mountain range in front of them was getting closer and closer.
When Gu Li and Zhu Lüqi heard this, they looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Junior Brother Ling Tian, you decide."
Gu Li said to Duan Lingtian, "I'm not familiar with Zoroastrianism so I don't know which Sanctum to choose."
"Same here."
Zhu Lüqi chimed in as well.
"Aren't I the same?"
Duan Lingtian smiled wryly when he saw the two of them kicking the ball in his court.
However, Duan Ling Tian still made up his mind when he saw Gu Li and the other man's expectant eyes and secretly scolded them for being lazy. "Then, I'll just randomly pick one. How about we go to the Azure Dragon Sanctum?"
The Azure Dragon Sanctum!
One of the Four Symbols Sanctums at the periphery of Zoroastrianism.
Apart from the Azure Dragon Sanctum, there was also the Vermilion Bird Sanctum, the White Tiger Sanctum, and the Black Turtle Sanctum.
"Sure."
"I have no objections."
When Gu Li and Zhu Lüqi heard Duan Lingtian's decision, they nodded in agreement.
To them, it did not matter which Sanctum they joined. After all, they were all disciples of Zoroastrianism.
"In that case, it's decided then. We'll go to the Azure Dragon Sanctum! "
Duan Lingtian nodded.
He had chosen the Azure Dragon Sanctum because he had a special relationship with dragons.
Apart from the people from his homeland in his previous life who were called descendants of dragons, the reason he had transformed into a Dragon Warrior was also related to dragons.
He had an affinity with dragons.
For this reason, he chose the Azure Dragon Sanctum.
"Tsk! Three bumpkins! "
As soon as Duan Lingtian finished speaking, a mocking voice entered Duan Lingtian and the other two's ears. It was obvious the voice was directed at them.
"What did you say?!"
Gu Li's expression changed immediately. He turned to look at the source of the voice and shouted angrily.
Zhu Lüqi looked over as well.
Duan Lingtian frowned and looked over as well.
With just a glance, he saw a young man looking at them arrogantly. His gaze was condescending as though he was a superior looking down on a subordinate.
The young man was skinny, and his appearance was ordinary. However, there was an air of condescension between his brows. Coupled with his luxurious robes, he looked like a good-for-nothing rich kid.
An old man stood behind him.
The old man stood there with his hands clasped behind his back. From afar, he looked like an ordinary person.
However, Duan Lingtian knew the old man was not an ordinary person. In fact, he must be quite strong. Otherwise, he would have been able to see through him.
"What did you say?"
The young man in luxurious robes looked at Gu Li and sneered. "Is there something wrong with your ears? Can't you hear me, bumpkin? I really don't know why bumpkins like all of you are here. If all of you enter Zoroastrianism, won't all of you embarrass the Zoroastrianism?
If I were all of you, I'd definitely turn around and scram as far as I can instead of staying here to embarrass myself! "
When the young man in luxurious robes reached the end of his sentence, the mocking smile on his face deepened. His eyes were filled with disdain.
Duan Lingtian's expression turned grave immediately.
Zhu Lüqi's expression changed slightly.
"You're seeking death!"
As for Gu Li, his expression changed for a while. In the end, he could no longer hold back and made his move at lightning speed.
Whoosh!
His strength that was close to the Intermediate Divine Saint Stage swept toward the young man in luxurious robes.
"How dare you make a move in front of me with such little strength?"
Faced with Gu Li who was charging at him menacingly, the young man in luxurious robes smiled contemptuously. Then, he moved his arms and made his move as well.
Boom!
A loud explosion reverberated in the air. Gu Li and the young man in luxurious robes had exchanged blows at lightning speed. The result was revealed soon after.
Gu Li was sent flying.
On the other hand, the young man in luxurious robes merely trembled slightly before he quickly came to a halt.
"Barf!"
Gu Li who was sent flying spat out a mouthful of blood. He looked wretched as he staggered.
When Gu Li looked at the young man in luxurious robes again, a hint of dread could be seen in his eyes.
He did not expect this good-for-nothing rich kid would be so powerful. He was so powerful that he was no match for him.
For a moment, he felt a huge blow to his heart.
"So this is the Upper Province? I can't even compare to a good-for-nothing rich kid? "
At the same time, Gu Li's heart was filled with bitterness.
He even had doubts.
Was his decision to come to the Upper Province a mistake from the very beginning?
"You're seeking death!"
Zhu Lüqi's expression changed when he saw Gu Li was injured. Then, he made his move as well.
Whoosh!
He charged toward the good-for-nothing rich kid.
Zhu Lüqi was an Intermediate Exemplary Saint Stage powerhouse. His cultivation base was close to the Mastery Exemplary Saint Stage.
Due to this reason, the speed he displayed when he charged out was not something Gu Li could compare to.
Even the good-for-nothing rich kid who was dressed in luxurious robes only had time to react when he saw Zhu Lüqi's speed. He did not even have time to dodge!
'Exemplary Saint Stage powerhouse!'
At this moment, the good-for-nothing rich kid only had one thought in his mind.
However, although there was a drastic change in his expression, there was not the slightest trace of fear in the depths of his eyes.
It was as though he had something to rely on.
Duan Lingtian had also noticed this. 'Does his confidence come from the old man behind him?'
"Hurmph!"
Just as Zhu Lüqi's attack was about to land on the good-for-nothing rich kid, a cold snort that contained an invisible sound wave resonated in the air.
Although Zhu Lüqi was still a distance away from the sound wave, he could still feel the immense pressure. His expression changed drastically.
"Be careful!"
At this critical moment, Duan Lingtian's expression changed drastically.
He noticed the old man who had been quietly following behind the good-for-nothing rich kid suddenly moved his body slightly.
He instantly warned Zhu Lüqi out of reflex.
However, although he warned Duan Lingtian in time, it was still too late.
Bang!
The old man did not seem to have made any moves, but Zhu Lüqi's attack that was supposed to land on the good-for-nothing rich kid was completely destroyed.
Moreover, a crisp sound rang in the air as Zhu Lüqi's body was sent flying like an arrow that was shot out from a bow. He spat out a mouthful of blood and followed in Gu Li's footsteps.
"T-Quintessential Saint Stage powerhouse!"
Zhu Lüqi who was sent flying pathetically could not help but cry out in shock. Horror dawned on his face when he saw this.
Even a powerhouse at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage would not be able to injure him to such an extent before he could even react.
There was only one possibility.
The person who attacked him was a Quintessential Saint Stage powerhouse.
A Quintessential Saint Stage powerhouse!
Gu Li's expression changed drastically. Duan Lingtian's expression changed again and again as well.
"What's wrong? Are you afraid? "
When the good-for-nothing rich kid saw the change in Duan Lingtian and the other two's expressions, the gloomy expression on his face disappeared. His eyes gleamed coldly as he ordered the old man behind him.
