He had finally found the entrance to the Allheaven Immortal Palace's True Immortal Realm fragment, but he didn't expect that there would be a peach tree spirit planted by the sect's Patriarch, Miao Di Zi, as a guard. If the Sect Master of the Allheaven Immortal Palace hadn't set up a contingency plan in advance, then any vagrant cultivator would've been able to enter.
Even if only one out of a hundred managed to survive, it would undoubtedly have a huge impact on the Spirit Realm. This was something that the higher-ups of the Allheaven Immortal Palace didn't want to see, so it was necessary to set up some powerful guards here.
At the very least, Yi Tian had learned that Patriarch Miao Di Zi had set up two defenses here. The first was Yi Meng's mother, a pinnacle ninth-grade fiery wyrm. The peach tree spirit in front of him should be the second one.
With their strength, they were all top-tier beings below the Grand Ascension Stage, so if even they couldn't stop the enemy, then it was fate. Yi Tian paid no heed to Hong Yu Xian's reprimand. He released a thousand spirit lights, which transformed into countless thin threads that shot toward the peach tree spirit's trunk.
The tree spirit's expression changed upon seeing this, and its entire body began to tremble violently. In an instant, several thumb-thick branches sprouted from its trunk, connecting with the thick branches around it to form a 30-feet-tall wall of branches in front of him.
'Ping Ping Pang Pang', Yi Tian could only see his Spirit Brilliance Thousand Sword Silk streaking across the tree branches, leaving behind three inch deep marks on the wall. However, the sword threads were unable to break through the tree spirit's defenses. On the contrary, he could only hear rapid rustling sounds coming from both the ground and the ground.
Yi Tian scanned the area with his spiritual sense, upon which his expression instantly stiffened. He circulated his spiritual power and prepared to flee. However, a dense expanse of branches came crashing down from above, reducing the space he had to maneuver to a minimum.
A dozen emerald green branches sprouted from beneath his feet in a frenzy. They spread out in the wind, then instantly thickened and swept toward his hands, feet, head, and neck.
He unleashed his spirit sword again, but to his surprise, he couldn't cut through the branches at all. At the same time, the branches came from all directions, trapping Yi Tian in a space with a radius of 10 feet. As more and more branches wrapped around him, Yi Tian was locked in the air.
Crack! Crack! Crack! The tree spirit opened up, revealing Hong Yu Xian's face. After giving him a glance, he said disdainfully, "Another guy who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth."
Before he could finish his words, a crackling sound came from the ball of twigs, and a green flame sprang out from it and set the surrounding branches ablaze.
Then, a fiery figure broke through the encirclement and directly rushed out. After landing in the air, it waved its hand again and drew a circle in the air with a scorching flame. The roots of the peach tree were set ablaze. Green flames flowed along the tree trunk, and no matter how hard Hong Yu Xian tried, she could not put it out.
Three seconds later, he cried out in a pleading voice, "So it's a direct disciple of the sect's Li Fire Hall. I was blind to not recognize you. Please retract your divine power."
Yi Tian was originally angry, but when he heard Hong Yu Xian mention the origins of the Li Fire Sect in the Allheaven Immortal Sect, his heart softened. He extended his hand and conjured a seal to retract the surrounding Li Flames.
Ten seconds later, the Li Flames dissipated, leaving behind a plume of black smoke. Yi Tian stabilized himself in midair before turning to Hong Yu Xian and saying, "I already said that I'm the sect master of the Li Fire Palace, one of the three branches of the Allheaven Immortal Palace. Do you admit defeat this time?"
"I was blind to not recognize the true identity of an exalted sect's disciple. Please forgive me for my previous offense." Hong Yu Xian replied in an aggrieved tone.
Yi Tian surveyed his surroundings and realized that his Li Flames had only burned for ten seconds, but they had burned an area with a radius of about a thousand feet. The branches that had been charred by the Li Flames had turned black. It would take at least a hundred years for them to recover.
However, he couldn't care less about that. He then said in a commanding tone, "I'm going to enter the valley and pass through the crack of the Immortal World fragment. Quickly make way for me."
"Yes, please wait a moment." Hong Yu Xian hurriedly replied. After saying that, his body began to tremble violently again. The intertwined tree trunks separated and retracted into the ground, revealing a broad path in front of him.
Yi Tian was overjoyed when he saw this. He extended his divine sense to investigate and found that the concentration of spiritual energy on this path was much higher than elsewhere. He thought to himself, "It's the right path."
Just as he was about to land on the cloud and enter, he suddenly heard Hong Yu Xian's voice, "Sect Master Yi, please wait a moment. I have something to ask Rong Bing."
Yi Tian, who was in the air, stopped and turned to stare at the other party. He then asked lightly, "What's the matter?"
"I've been guarding the sect for tens of thousands of years. That year, Ancestor Miao Di Zi once said that if the disciples of the Lihuo Hall come in the future, they need to go to the Ancestor Hall in the southern part of the valley to pay their respects first. Then, they can enter the valley," Hong Yu Xian said.
"Oh, since it's the arrangement of Ancestor Miao Di Zi, I'll naturally follow it. But I don't know why only the disciples of the Lihuo Hall need to go there to pay their respects?" Yi Tian asked in confusion.
"I don't know the details of this matter. I'm just passing on the instructions of the Ancestor. If Sect Master Yi doesn't think it's necessary, you don't have to go," Hong Yu Xian said.
This time, it was Yi Tian's turn to be in a dilemma. Speaking of which, the Lihuo Palace he was in was born from the Lihuo Hall of the Luotian Immortal Palace. If the Ancestor Miao Di Zi really had such an instruction, wouldn't it be against the Ancestor's order if he didn't go? But this time, he came to find the Celestial Realm Fragment of the Luotian Immortal Palace, so he had to be careful.
After weighing the pros and cons in his heart, he sighed and said, "Alright, I'll go. Do you have anything else to say?"
"Sect Master Yi, please take a spoonful of 'sweet spring water' from the Ancestor Hall and feed it to me. I'll definitely thank you," Hong Yu Xian said hurriedly.
It seemed that this was his main purpose. Yi Tian smiled and replied, "Well, well, since it's just a matter of convenience, I'll agree."
After saying that, light flashed around him and he flew into the sky again. After jumping out of the area covered by the red rain tree crown, Yi Tian identified the direction in the air and finally locked onto the Ancestor Hall's position with his Divine Sense. Then, he used an escape technique and slowly flew over.
The Ancestor Hall was located at the southern slope of the valley. Yi Tian looked from afar and found that there seemed to be a restriction left here to protect the Ancestor Hall.
After flying closer and landing on the cloud, he carefully examined the area and found that there seemed to be a restriction formation set up below. It was the Heavenly Fire Formation of the Lihuo Palace. Only the direct disciples of the Lihuo Palace could break this formation. Fortunately, he had done some research on it and had seen it in Old Clear Wind City.
