Once again, it was time for the Western Wasteland's three lists to be released. At this time, the vicinity of the Holy City was packed with people, and many cultivators were taking advantage of this opportunity to come out.
Usually, the Heavenly List's rankings would not have any substantial changes, unless the Yuanying cultivators on the list had a major breakthrough, perished, or died of old age. Generally, it was just a place for the various sects to show off their strength.
But the Mortal List's changes were too fast. If the new Foundation Establishment cultivators failed to form their Gold Core, they would naturally be forgotten by the people. If they were unable to form their Gold Core in a hundred years, it could only be said that they were temporarily in the limelight, and still lacked some foundation.
The cultivators were mainly paying attention to the top Jin Dan cultivators on the Earth List. How many of them could break through their Gold Core and form their Nascent Soul, or refine some shocking spirit tool?
Heavenly Demon Sect's Chief Jin Dan Refiner, Huo Chilian, was the most promising refiner in recent years. Since seven years ago, there was a rumor that he had repaired the Baleful Heaven Demon Blade, the public opinion unanimously believed that the Earth List's first place would be none other than him.
Even the Heavenly Demon Sect's Yuanying Patriarch, Ximen Kuangao, said that he hoped to find an opportunity to compare notes with Immortal Sword Sect's Darknorth Kuangao ten years later, and the location was set at the Saber Sword Divine Domain in the Western Wasteland.
Suddenly, various versions of the rumor spread. Everyone said that Ximen Kuangao had obtained the Baleful Heaven Demon Blade that Huo Chilian had repaired, and as one of the parties involved, Huo Chilian did not say anything, which meant that he had tacitly agreed to this matter.
Now, Huo Chilian did not have the time to care about this matter. He was sitting cross-legged on a praying mat in the reception room of the Heavenly Demon Sect's encampment in the Holy City. Sitting in front of him was a cultivator dressed in a fiery red robe. He had a head full of red hair and looked to be around forty years old. His cultivation was at the peak of the Jin Dan middle stage.
Huo Chilian opened his mouth and said, "Huo Yunbiao, I have already left the 'Qian Kun Imperial Fire Sect' for many years, and I have also fled far away from home. Why do you still insist on forcing me?"
Opposite him, Huo Yunbiao said with a sneer, "What do you mean by leaving the sect for so many years? Your 'Cosmic Fire Reining Sect' is ultimately a branch of the 'Li Fire Sect'. Me bringing you back to the sect can be considered as me acknowledging my ancestors. Besides, the Sect Master has contacted the Heavenly Demon Sect's Sect Master. Everyone has agreed to this matter."
"Then, when I return, how will the 'Li Fire Sect' deal with a traitor like me?" Huo Chilian said with a helpless expression.
Huo Yun Biao smiled and said, "What traitor? When you go back, you will still be in charge of the Artifact Pavilion. In terms of artifact refining skills, no one in the sect can compare to you. If you don't take the head seat, who else has the qualifications?"
After saying that, he looked at Crimson Flame's dispirited appearance and continued, "The Sect Master has the ambition to recreate the glory of the sect a thousand years ago. He has already contacted people from the Venerate Heavens Sect, and they have confirmed that the day of the 'Li Fire Sect's' prosperity is imminent."
Huo Chilian shook his head and said, "The Venerate Heavens Sect should be the current Heavenly Fortune Sect. Did the other party tell us where the keepsake of the sect is? According to what I know, Dong Ao still has a branch sect. Back then, they took the keepsake of the sect and left. "
"That branch sect has now been split into three sects. The sect's core cultivation techniques that have been passed down are incomplete. Furthermore, the Sect Master has personally gone to Dong Ao to confirm that there is no trace of the sect's keepsake."
Hearing that, Huo Chilian could not help but think of a person. After thinking for a while, he said, "I still have something on my mind. When the Earth List reappears, I want to see if I can defeat that person."
"Alright, I'll accompany you for a while. After you confirm the Artifact Ranking, come with me to participate in the Cha Nu Sect's Hero Gathering. The Sect Master has sent a message to establish good relations with the three sects of the Western Wilderness. Now that I have visited the Immortal Sword Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sect, I have no choice but to go to the Cha Nu Sect. "Huo Yun Biao replied.
As the two of them were talking, suddenly, someone knocked on the door and said, "Grandmaster Huo and esteemed guests from the Central State, please hurry to the Discussion Pavilion. Elder Ximen invites you in."
Hearing that, Huo Chilian stood up with a puzzled look on his face. He opened the door and hurriedly walked out. Huo Yun Biao followed closely behind him.
After a while, the two of them arrived at the Discussion Pavilion. They saw Ximen Kuangao sitting on the main seat. He was looking at the jade strip in his hand and sighing. Seeing that the two of them had arrived, Ximen Kuangao pointed to the seat below, indicating that he would talk later. Then, he extended his divine sense into the jade strip and carefully read it.
On the contrary, the surrounding people cast a strange look at Huo Chilian. Some of them even had a regretful expression.
After a long time, Ximen Kuangao sighed. He turned to the two of them and said, "I called you here because I have something to tell you."
Huo Chilian hurriedly stood up and asked, "Is the Earth List out? What is the result? What is the ranking of the Baleful Heaven Demon Blade that I refined? "
Huo Yun Biao also asked with interest, "I wonder if the craftsmanship of my junior brother is the best in the Western Wilderness."
Ximen Kuangao's complexion changed a few times. Then, he raised the jade strip in his hand and said, "Take a look at it first."
Huo Chilian stretched out his hand and took the jade strip. Then, he unfolded the jade strip in his palm. Then, he swept his gaze over the list of craftsmen. It was written on the top of the list. It was a high-grade level-6 spirit tool 'True Heaven Baleful Heaven Demon Blade'. The names of the refiners behind it were unexpectedly Yi Tian and Hong Luanjing.
His level-6 spirit tool 'Baleful Heaven Demon Blade' was ranked second. As for the third place, it was still 'Geng Jin Sword Case'.
Huo Yun Biao also swept the list with his divine sense. Then, he asked in puzzlement, "How come the first and second place spirit tools are the same? Could it be that the Heavenly Devil Sect has invited another refiner?"
Ximen Kuangao's face twitched. Then, he angrily said, "It must be my younger brother's doing. I didn't expect that when I invited someone to repair my spirit tool, he actually had the same idea. Luckily, he found someone to refine the 'True Heaven Baleful Heaven Demon Blade'. He clearly embarrassed me. Now, everyone outside is thinking that the one in my hand is a fake. They are all laughing at me. "
Ignoring Ximen Kuangao's reaction, Huo Chilian muttered to himself, "I didn't expect that your skill has reached such a high level. After racking my brains several times, I was only able to repair the spirit tool to the mid-grade of level-6. I didn't expect that you would be able to repair it as good as new."
Then, they saw that Ximen Kuangao had an unhappy expression on his face. So, the two of them hurriedly excused themselves and left.
Walking in the corridor, Huo Yun Biao impatiently said, "There is actually a refiner even stronger than you in this Western Wasteland. When should we make friends with him? From your tone, you seem to know this person, right?"
A few years flashed through Huo Chilian's mind. Then, he smiled and replied, "Senior Brother, this refiner ranked first is Yi Tian. He is my best friend. If Senior Brother wants to make friends with him, please allow me to send a message. We can arrange a time to meet."
Huo Yun Biao did not have any doubts. He nodded and urged Huo Chilian to contact him as soon as possible.
Yi Tian, who was sitting in the Lava Forge Mountain Range, was using the Purple Firmament Lamp to strengthen the Profound Yang True Fire in his hand. Ever since he returned from the Wasteland, he had been in seclusion. Even if the Immortal Sword Sect and the Beauty Sect contacted him, he would not look at them.
Over the years, he had been disturbed by too many mundane matters. Now that he had just completed his cultivation technique, Yi Tian was fully focused on cultivation.
But this time, he received a message from Huo Chilian. After a rough scan with his divine sense, Yi Tian could not sit still.
It said, "Central State's Li Fire Sect's Special Envoy Huo Yun Biao Association's Artifact Pavilion's First Seat Huo Chilian is here to invite Master Yi to the Holy City for a chat."
