The Dong Ao land was rich in talents. The Xuan Yang Sect that appeared two thousand years ago was one of the most prominent sects. After that, the Xuan Yang Sect placed most of their efforts on the sect master's main bloodline. However, they never relaxed their control over the Dong Ao land. In the past two thousand years, the Xuan Yang Sect, as a branch of the Li Fire Sect, had a firm grasp on all the cultivation resources in the Dong Ao land.
However, the region where the Scarlet Sun Sect was located was still the center of the cultivation world. It was rumored that the current Patriarch, Yi Nan, was in seclusion there. Speaking of which, his strength had long reached the peak of the Yuanying stage and the early stages of the Soul Formation stage. However, due to the lack of successors in the sect and the lack of talented people in the Zhong state's Li Fire Sect, he was needed to hold down the fort.
In addition, the older generation of Yuanying cultivators who had no hope of advancing in their cultivation had all chosen to enter the Samsara stage. As such, the mainstay of the Zhong state's Li Fire Sect no longer existed. They could only rely on the Dong Ao Chiyang branch, Patriarch Yi Nan, to hold on.
A flaming light streaked across the sky, followed by a blue beam of light. A faint shadow appeared in the flaming light. It was the true form of the Scarlet Flame Stallion. As for the blue light behind it, it was extremely cold. The two spiritual energies, one cold and one hot, were the strongest in the Tian Lan continent, the Ice Glaze Demon Sage and the Scarlet Flame Demon King.
Speaking of which, it was rare for the two of them to move together. Today, the Scarlet Flame Demon King seemed to be carrying someone on its back. The flaming light on its body was Yi Tian's avatar that had descended into this world. Only in such a situation would the two top experts of the Tian Lan continent be willing to kneel down and be ordered around.
The beam of light did not attract anyone's attention as it streaked across the sky. When it reached the Chi Yang Sect's territory, the beam of light stopped above the forbidden lava valley.
However, when Yi Tian scanned the area with his spiritual sense, he discovered that there were two mid-stage Yuanying cultivators sitting cross-legged in cultivation. As for the Chi Yang Sect's Grand Elder, Yi Nan, he did not seem to be among them.
Yi Tian slowly stretched out his hand in the air and squeezed out a drop of blood to form a seal in the air. After activating it, the blood seal rapidly flew into the distance.
After drifting for several hundred miles, the blood seal slowly came to a stop and fell down. Yi Tian took a closer look and realized that it was the location of the Ice Soul Cave where the Flaming Sun Sect's newcomer assessment had taken place.
For a moment, a myriad of thoughts surged into his mind. After a while, Yi Tian's eyes flashed. He turned to the Ice Glass Fox and the Scarlet Flame Stallion and said, "You two wait outside. I will be right back."
After saying that, his figure flashed and he used a concealment movement technique to enter the Ice Soul Cave.
Speaking of the Icy Soul Cavern, it was the first time he came into contact with the secrets of Chiyang School. Ever since he had unintentionally found this secret in Tai Hua Mountain, he had followed the clues and slowly found this place. Only then did his leisure journey begin.
Therefore, Yi Tian still had a special feeling towards the Ice Soul Cave. He remembered that he had broken through the inheritance left behind by Ancestor Xuan Yang in the past. That was how he was able to cultivate the supreme cultivation method of Xuan Yang Sect.
There were also a few fellow disciples who had entered the sect at the same time as him. Back then, everyone had bitterly endured in order to pass the entrance test. Looking back on the past, Yi Tian unknowingly realized that his eyes were a little moist.
It had been three thousand years since the end of the month, but everything that had happened in the past was still vivid in his mind. It was as if it had happened yesterday. Yi Tian's mind quickly went through the experiences of the past. His face was filled with loneliness. Other than him, his fellow disciples had already exhausted their lifespan and entered the Reincarnation Dao.
Now that he had stepped into the Ice Soul Cavern again, he could no longer see the faces of the past.
Speaking of which, he had sent his son, Yi Nan, back to Chiyang School so that he could experience his own growth. It was not a good thing to be raised up high in the Li Fire Sect of the Middle State. For a cultivator's state of mind, it was not a good thing to be surrounded by people who had not been tempered.
After thinking about it, Yi Tian quietly walked towards the Ice Soul Cavern. He wanted to walk the path he had taken back then again.
Suddenly, a red barrier lit up in front of him, blocking his path. At the same time, Yi Tian secretly spread out his Divine Sense. He realized that other than himself, there was only a hidden aura below the Ice Soul Cavern. There were no signs of any sect disciples within a hundred mile radius.
Looking at the barrier in front of him, Yi Tian smiled and reached out his hand to cut a hole in the red barrier. His body flashed through and he directly entered the barrier.
After entering, he felt a sharp chill in his face. Unfortunately, it did not have any effect on his Soul Formation avatar.
Following the small path in front of him, Yi Tian slowly entered the second level of the Ice Soul Cavern. Following that, he passed through the third level.
When he reached the bottom, he saw that there was nothing in the space of a hundred feet. However, Yi Tian smiled faintly. After all, he had already told Yi Nan about the secret of the Ice Soul Cavern. There was another level below the third level.
Walking forward, he reached out his hand and gently sent out a beam of light. Instantly, a ten foot long staircase appeared on the third level of the Ice Soul Cavern, leading downwards.
As he slowly walked down the staircase, he heard a voice coming from below while he was halfway down, "I wonder which Daoist has come to visit. You were able to easily break the barrier I set up."
The tone of the voice did not sound any different from two thousand years ago. Yi Tian smiled and did not say a word. He only quickened his pace as he walked down.
After a while, he reached the fourth level and saw an ice coffin in the middle. The voice came from the ice coffin. Without a doubt, Yi Nan was lying in the ice coffin. Yi Tian paused for three seconds before he heard the voice again, "Who are you? How dare you transform into the face of my Li Fire Sect's Sect Master?"
"Yi Nan, come out." Yi Tian replied lightly.
Upon hearing his voice, the ice coffin began to emit 'ka ka ka' sounds. With a rumbling sound, the lid of the ice coffin was lifted from the inside, and a red light flew out of it. It circled around the room and stopped ten feet away from him.
When the light faded, the person inside was no doubt the current Li Fire Sect's Grand Elder, Yi Nan. His appearance was exactly the same as when he ascended to the spiritual world. There were no changes.
Upon seeing him, Yi Nan's expression changed slightly. Following that, a look of suspicion flashed in his eyes as he released his perception to size him up. Ten seconds later, when he retracted his perception, the corner of his mouth could not help but tremble as he said, "Is it really you, Father?"
Nodding with a smile, Yi Tian said, "I never expected you to have the most resilient Dao heart among all the children. You were able to refine your cultivation level to such an extent."
"Your child greets Father. Good night." Yi Nan hurriedly went forward and bowed.
Extending his hand, he gently propped Yi Nan up. Yi Nan did not bow any further. Yi Tian said kindly, "It's only my avatar that descended to the lower realm. However, it's fate that we father and son can meet again today. Let me take a good look at your current appearance."
Yi Nan's eyes flashed with tears as he said with a sobbing voice, "Father, your strength is indeed extraordinary after so many years. I wonder what level your cultivation level has reached?"
Yi Tian replied with a smile, "There are many things that I can slowly explain to you. Let me take a good look at you."
"I wonder why Father sent your avatar to the lower realm?" asked Yi Nan again.
"As the saying goes, when a leaf falls, it returns to its roots. I was ultimately born in the Tianlan continent. Even if I were to head to a higher realm, I would never forget my origins," said Yi Tian with a sigh.
"What? Could it be that Father has cultivated to the extreme in the spiritual world and can explore higher realms?" asked Yi Nan in surprise.
"That's indeed the case." Yi Tian nodded with a smile. Immediately after, he found an empty place to sit down and slowly recounted his experiences in the spiritual world to Yi Nan.
When Yi Nan heard that his final cultivation level had reached the Grand Ascension Stage, his eyes were filled with extreme excitement. Following this, Yi Tian was not stingy. He took out a storage ring and handed it to Yi Nan, saying, "There are some things that I have prepared for you in here. If you can make good use of them, you can easily ascend to the spiritual world. At that time, if you want to enter the Lihuo Palace again, you can also go to the Taiqing Pavilion. "
Yi Nan took the storage ring and scanned it with his Spiritual Sense. After three breaths, his expression changed several times. The spirit stones and magic treasures inside were definitely things that he had never seen in his life.
After thinking about it, Yi Nan hurriedly put it away and said, "Father is right. In that case, I will settle the matters in this realm first, then choose a day to ascend. However, after entering the spiritual world, with my identity, I should be able to gain a place in the three great sects. At the very least, it will be of great help to my cultivation. "
"Don't worry, by the time you ascend to the spiritual world, I will have already ascended to the Celestial Realm." Yi Tian shook his head and said, "Also, I will only leave a jade slip for the sect's Body Integration Stage cultivator, Qing Lianyun. After you enter the sect, she will take good care of you. "
"From Father's tone, could it be that you found a stepmother for me in the spiritual world?" Yi Nan smiled slightly. He instantly understood the meaning of his words.
Upon seeing this, Yi Tian was at a loss for words. Speaking of which, Yi Nan was his son after all. In terms of character, he was the most similar to him among all the children. Therefore, even his tone and tone were exactly the same. If not for the private conversation, no one in the entire Tian Lan continent would know that the Li Fire Sect's Grand Elder was such a person.
Rolling his eyes at him, Yi Tian sighed and said, "Speaking of which, your mother and I are not fated. Back then, I sent you directly to Dong Ao. She must have been angry in her heart. Knowing that I did not receive her forgiveness before I ascended to the spiritual world, it was my fault. "
"Father, please don't blame yourself." Yi Nan hurriedly replied, "In fact, you did this for the sake of the sect's thousand years of foundation."
"Oh, it's good that you can understand my difficulties." Yi Tian said with a sigh.
"To be honest, Mother is no longer angry. She is also a sensible person. She knows that if the Li Fire Sect is controlled by my Yi family, it will be fine when the elders are still around. However, once their lifespans are exhausted and they pass away, the sect is bound to wither once again." Yi Nan hurriedly explained.
"That's right. The sect does not belong to me alone. Furthermore, I was able to revive the Li Fire Sect because of Senior Brother Ji Xuanyuan's legacy." Yi Tian nodded and said, "I have seen many changes in the sect in the past. Those sects that relied on high level cultivators to hold down the fort and prosper for a period of time were unable to escape the fate of decline. Therefore, maintaining the sect's healthy development is the only way to preserve the sect's thousand years of heritage. "
"Mother is well aware of Father's difficulties. However, back then, you embarrassed her in front of so many disciples. Furthermore, you sent me away without any explanation. That is why she has always been brooding over it." Yi Nan said, "In fact, Father, you still owe Mother an 'apology'. However, she did not manage to see the moment of your ascension."
"How is your mother now?" Yi Tian asked.
"Mother's lifespan is exhausted. She has already entered the cycle of reincarnation. I have followed her wishes and sent her bones to the Yi family's ancestral grave at River Wan Village under Tai Hua Mountain for burial." Yi Nan said.
"Is that so? She actually still remembers this." Yi Tian's expression darkened when he heard this. His face was filled with endless loneliness.
"This was Mother's last wish. Before she died, she told me that she would always be the daughter-in-law of the Yi family. Therefore, she had to return to her roots and be buried in the Yi family's ancestral grave." Yi Nan explained.
Sighing, Yi Tian turned around and said, "Alright, since that is the case, I will pay a visit to the Yi family's ancestral home. Come to think of it, I have been away from home for three thousand years. I wonder how the family is now."
Speaking of this, Yi Nan's expression turned serious, "Father, don't worry. Although cultivators cannot interfere with the affairs of the mortal realm, after three thousand years of changes and ups and downs, the bloodline of the family has been passed down."
"I believe you will also secretly protect the family?" Yi Tian asked with a smile.
"Although I can't do it openly, I used the hands of the mortal realm's emperor to protect the family. Also, Father asked me to take good care of Tang Lin and Hua Shi Cheng's descendants. I did not neglect them either. Now, among their descendants, there are also Jin Dan cultivators who have established cultivation families and attached themselves to the sect."
"You did well. They were all my senior and junior brothers who entered the sect with me. I remember that the first time I met Hua Shi Cheng was in the first level of the Ice Soul Cave." Yi Tian's face lit up when he said this. His mind quickly recalled the situation back then. Then, he said, "It was with their help that I was able to enter the third level of the Ice Soul Cave and find the information left behind by Ancestor Xuan Yang. That was how I started the sect's revival in the past two thousand years."
Hearing this, Yi Nan finally came back to her senses. It seemed that there were indeed some similarities and differences between this place. It was no wonder that her father had stood his ground and sent her here. Before she left, he even reminded her to take good care of the Ice Soul Cave.
Speaking of this, Yi Tian took out a spirit pill and gave it to Yi Nan, "This is the Spirit Realm's Luo Tian Immortal Palace's' Golden Flame Pill '. I refined it by extracting the God Burning Golden Flame. After you consume it, use all your strength to refine the spirit energy inside. After I refined the God Burning Golden Flame, it is easy for Yuanying to absorb. From now on, you will have another life saving ability. If you're able to enter the Lifire Palace in the future and master the Immortal World's ultimate art, the 'Golden God-Incinerating Flame', then this pill would be able to help you to at least double your strength.
