In the forbidden grounds of Chiyang School's inner sanctum, Lava Valley, Daoist Scarlet Sun was sitting in a small stone house in the middle. Opposite him was Sect Master Yangyan Zi. Usually, there were not many people here. Previously, only Zhuo Ling Feng had been here. Now, the only person qualified to enter the valley was the Sect Master.
The two of them had been sitting opposite each other for nearly half a day, but Yangyan Zi did not see any movement from his master. Just as he was about to get up and leave, he heard Daoist Scarlet Sun say, "Do you think I went overboard on Zhuo Ling Feng's matter? I should not have ended his life on the spot. "
Yangyan Zi respectfully replied, "This disciple does not dare to criticize Master's decision. This matter was caused by him, so it is best for Master to deal with it."
After smiling, Daoist Scarlet Sun took out the jade token with the gatha inscribed on it. He gently handed it to Yangyan Zi and gestured for him to read it.
After receiving the jade token, Yangyan Zi knew that it was the one his master had taken out when he dealt with Zhuo Ling Feng in the main hall. He lowered his head and scanned the jade token, only to see four lines engraved on it:
'Calamity befalls the Sacred Son
Five Yuans and Four Tribulations
Xuan Yang internal strife
Met with Zhuo Ling Feng '
After reading it, Yangyan Zi lowered his head and pondered. Only then did he ask with a puzzled expression, "Master, could it be that you already knew about this matter? Why didn't you inform us earlier? We could have taken precautions in advance. "
Daoist Scarlet Sun knew that his disciple was dissatisfied. Although the crisis had been resolved, Chiyang School had been robbed. In the ten years that Li Yanzi had been in power, many of the sect's treasures had been leaked out. As for Zhuo Ling Feng, he was in charge of guarding the Sutra Depository. It was likely that he had copied most of the jade scrolls in there. These were the foundation of the sect. Now that they were scattered outside, Yangyan Zi felt indignant.
Seeing his disciple not daring to voice his anger, Daoist Scarlet Sun could only smile and say, "Actually, our sect's founder was a direct descendant of the Zhong state's Li Fire Sect. He established the Xuan Yang Sect in Dong Ao. This jade token records that the Xuan Yang Sect has faced four tribulations in the past five yuans and nine hundred years. I believe all of them have come true."
"Forgive this disciple's ignorance, but which four calamities did the sect experience?"
Master Crimson Sun nodded lightly when he heard this. He recalled the past and said, "Back then, Profound Yang Sect first experienced the chaos of the Bright King Road and then split up into three branches. Unexpectedly, the original sect's Protector, Tyrant Blade Heng Jian, took over the Cultivation Inheritance Hall and established the Iron Sword Gate. After that, the Profound Spirit Sect split up and banished the main branch to the Crimson Flame Hills. Part of the direct lineage's spirit art was lost. The seniors had no choice but to create a new Crimson Sun True Fire Art based on that foundation and the sect changed its name to Chiyang School.
Three hundred years ago, there was an internal strife. At that time, part of the Profound Yang Direct Disciple's secret manuals in the Scripture Depository Pavilion had been split up again. The remaining essence was very little. Especially after the Profound Yang Tool Refining Technique of the Tool Hall had lost its general outline, they had no choice but to split the remaining manuals into two parts. Right now, it's the fourth tribulation, the sect's internal strife. "
Yangyan Zi said, "Since the sect is the Profound Sun Direct Sect, why not change the sect's name back?"
"That will have to wait until the person facing the tribulation recombines the three parts of the sect."
This time, Yangyan Zi was startled and hurriedly asked, "Does Martial Ancestor know who the person facing the tribulation is?"
Daoist Crimson Sun stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Avacaniya and Unspeakable. You will know when the time comes. Remember, the appearance of the red lotus is a sign of the prosperity of the Xuanyang Sect. We only need to wait for a while." Then, he handed a storage pouch to Yangyan Zi. After giving a few instructions, he closed his eyes and began to meditate.
Yangyan Zi didn't dare to stay for long. After taking the pouch and bidding farewell to his master, he hurried back to the sect's main hall. Now that the sect was entangled in trivial matters, Yangyan Zi didn't have many people who could take on big responsibilities. For example, Yan Jungang, Yi Tian, and the others were in seclusion to heal. After thinking about it, he decided to make an exception and promote a group of disciples who were loyal during the sect's internal strife to deal with the current predicament.
After his disciple left, Scarlet Sun Master opened his eyes and took out a jade token. He looked at the gatha written on it.
'Secret Ice Cave
The Appearance of the Red Lotus
The Wanderer Returns
The Three Meridians Unite '
Scarlet Sun Master was full of smiles and looked content. After thinking for a while, he put away the jade token and closed his eyes to meditate. However, he softly muttered, "What should come should have already come. It's just a matter of time. Iron Sword Gate, Xuan Ling Sect, even if you occupied the sect's ancestral home, you would never have thought that after a thousand years, there would be a day when my lineage would rise again. "
After the internal strife at Zhuoling Peak, Chiyang School began to purge the entire sect. Ye Qingchen, who was in charge of the Commandment Courtyard, was instructed by the head of the sect, Yangyan Zi, to transfer the guards from all over the Red Flame Hills back to interrogate them one by one. Then, they were rearranged and the main positions were taken by the cultivators of the pro-war faction under Yangyan Zi.
Qu Yifeng and Shen Peiqi were in charge of the Tianya Pavilion and Green Laurel Lane. They each had an assistant in the early stage of Foundation Establishment. Gao Qingshan of the Gao Family took the initiative to stand on the side in the turmoil and supported Yangyan Zi. Therefore, Ye Qingchen also supported Li Baoxiao and arranged his junior, Gao Yuanfan, to guard the Fanxing City.
The heads of the Artifact Hall and the Alchemy Hall did not change, but the head of the sect, Yangyan Zi, made an exception and appointed Wu Xing to take charge of the Alchemy Hall on behalf of Deng Qingxiang. Huang Ziang was promoted to the fourth person with real power in the Artifact Hall. He was in charge of internal and external affairs with Qi Haosi.
Originally, Ning Qingyuan of the Artifact Hall was neutral during the internal strife because the younger generation maintained a neutral attitude. His position was not firm at the beginning, so he had to announce that he would be cultivating in seclusion.
Putting aside the Alchemy Hall, Huang Ziang was now on the same level as Qi Haosi in the Artifact Hall. The head of the Artifact Hall was cultivating in seclusion, while the successor disciple, Yi Tian, was cultivating. Qi Haosi also knew the relationship between the two, so everything had to be discussed. Huang Ziang also knew that he relied on Yi Tian to build the Artifact Hall, so he was very courteous to Qi Haosi, who was originally from the same faction. When he encountered something, he would also take the initiative to ask for advice. The entire Artifact Hall was straightened out by the two of them very quickly.
Yi Tian, who was cultivating in seclusion in the Eaglet Peak blessed land, was not paying attention to the outside world. He only focused on cultivating the third level of the 'Asura Transformation'. For five years, Yi Tian did not ask about the Artifact Hall's affairs. Anyway, the sect head had already exempted him from the sect's missions. Now, Yi Tian handed over all the responsibilities to Qi Haosi and Huang Ziang. He was also happy to be free.
On the other hand, after continuously strengthening his avatar in these five years, Yi Tian gradually cultivated the three heads of the 'Asura Transformation'. When the avatar appeared, two identical faces stretched out from the ears of the head. After the consciousness was split into three, the two new heads also had thoughts that complemented each other. Yi Tian could even switch his three consciousnesses between the three heads. Now, even the things he needed to think about were much clearer.
But now, the only flaw was that only one head could open its eyes. Of the two heads behind the head, one had a worried expression, as if it was thinking about something all day long. The other had a face full of smiles, as if it was an optimist. Yi Tian looked at the spirit art of the 'Asura Transformation'. It clearly recorded that the three heads were Massacre, Massacre, and Cruelty.
But the one he cultivated was completely wrong. At first glance, it seemed to be Tranquility, Wisdom, and Joy. This was far from the original intent of the 'Asura Transformation'. The spirit art described the Asura as born for battle, but the one he cultivated looked like a scholar.
Although he couldn't figure it out, Yi Tian believed that there was no one in this world who could answer his questions. He could only go to the main altar of the Bright King Road and take Qin Mingyue's handwritten letter to see if he cultivated it correctly.
Fortunately, the advantage of this avatar was very obvious. Yi Tian studied the spirit art again and found that his comprehension ability and cultivation speed had greatly increased. Especially when he used the wisdom head on the left to read, the speed was almost twice as fast as normal. Moreover, his analysis of the refining materials and techniques was also much faster. He could also constantly simulate them in his mind. This greatly increased the standard of Yi Tian's skills.
After the battle in Lava Valley, Yi Tian gained a lot. After the battle, Sect Master Yangyan Zi personally came to visit and gave Yi Tian a storage pouch. He said that Ancestor Chi Yang had personally promised him something.
After the Sect Master left, Yi Tian immediately checked the storage pouch. There were three jade boxes inside. They contained six Fire-Gold Lotus petals, two Fire-Gold Lotus seeds, and one main stem. Yi Tian had only casually mentioned these things. He didn't expect Master Chi Yang to acknowledge them.
In addition to the jade boxes, Yangyan Zi also gave Yi Tian 2,000 mid-grade spirit stones as a reward. He also promised that as long as Yi Tian reached the Core Formation Stage, he could directly take over the position of Head of the Artifact Hall. Yi Tian understood that he had exposed Lie Yanzi's trick. Now, Yangyan Zi was giving him a reward because of this.
Yi Tian didn't care about these things at all. Instead, after receiving these level 6 materials, his heart surged. The totem he found in the Sword Sect would be useful. The two main materials for the Iron Sword Gate's Sword Sect's famous weapon, the Fire Lotus Sword, had been gathered. The three Fire-Gold Lotus petals and the Deep Sea Metal Essence he found in the ruins of the East Sea were all gathered. Now, he only needed to gather the supplementary materials.
Five years ago, Yi Tian sent a message to the Artifact Hall to help him gather the materials. However, he didn't receive a reply even after cultivating for three or four years. Five years later, Huang Ziang's voice suddenly came from the communication jade token. The content was very simple. It was only one sentence. "Everything is gathered. I'll wait in the Artifact Hall."
After keeping the jade token, Yi Tian was overjoyed. It seemed that Huang Ziang hadn't been idle for the past five years. Since that was the case, he might as well take advantage of today to refine the Fire Lotus Sword since he had everything he needed.
Standing up and shaking his hands and feet, Yi Tian looked at his avatar and smiled. Then, he formed a seal with both hands and put away the Asura Avatar. It would be troublesome if someone saw him like this. After taking stock of the materials in the storage bracelet, Yi Tian was also full of confidence. This time, he must forge a Level 5 high rank or even a top rank spiritual weapon.
According to the description in the sword manual, the Fire Lotus Sword was the second totem of the Iron Sword Gate. It hadn't appeared in the world for thousands of years. The most powerful part of it was that it could evolve with the user's fire attribute cultivation method. If it was nurtured in the Dantian during the Foundation Establishment stage, then when it reached the Yuanying stage, the Fire Lotus Sword would also evolve to level 6 by absorbing the owner's fire attribute spiritual energy.
Yi Tian saw this point and was interested in refining it. He was about to enter the Foundation Establishment stage. He couldn't do without a life-bound magic treasure. Last time, he gave the Thunder Fire Diamond to Zhu Chen. The Flame Emblem Shield was broken by Zhuo Lingfeng's Flame Dragon. This time, Yi Tian planned to refine it.
