After the Yuanying gathering, Yi Tian did not immediately return to the sect with Master Scarlet Sun. Instead, he rushed to the edge of the hundred thousand mountains with Hu Yiyuan. The two of them carefully circled around the Myriad Eagle King's territory's sentry posts and flew north for about three days.
During this period, Yi Tian had intentionally or unintentionally asked Hu Yiyuan about the purpose of their trip. However, Hu Yiyuan only gave a vague answer, so as to not give a specific location. Yi Tian could not take it anymore. He took the opportunity to express his intention to return home. Hu Yiyuan looked helpless when he heard this and could only share the information in his hands.
When Yi Tian received the jade scroll and read it, his face was filled with confusion. The jade scroll said that northwest of Dong Ao was the ruins of a 'Li Fire Sect's' Weapon Pavilion. It was said that an Elder of the Weapon Pavilion had once cultivated there for a period of time. Hence, there might be some useful things that were passed down.
Of course, Yi Tian also knew that Hu Yiyuan wanted to find the 'Purple Firmament Cup' artifact manual the most. Without it, the Li Fire Sect would definitely not be able to intimidate the other branches.
And at the same time, they needed the help of a sect's refiner. Since he had been targeted by the Li Fire Sect, he did not know if it was a blessing or a curse.
Along the way, the two of them had some interactions. Although Yi Tian felt that Hu Yiyuan was holding back, he was still a true gentleman. Hence, their interactions gradually increased.
After flying for a few days, Yi Tian checked the copied map in his hand and said to Hu Yiyuan, "Senior Brother Hu, after so many years, won't someone beat us to it?"
Unexpectedly, Hu Yiyuan laughed out loud and said, "Junior Brother Yi, you might not know this, but the heritage of the 'Li Fire Sect' is definitely not something an outsider can touch. Every spot has layers of seals. If no special method is used to open them, they will be sealed forever."
"Is there really no one who can crack the seals here?"
Hu Yiyuan thought for a moment before replying, "Not necessarily. Some of the seals and arrays can be forcefully broken, but the backlash from the seals is very powerful. Typical cultivators would not dare to take the risk."
There were many things in the world that reinforced and countered each other. Yi Tian found it hard to imagine that the treasures left behind by the Li Fire Sect would be preserved forever. However, since the Li Fire Sect was slowly recovering its strength in the Middle State, why did they need to rely on others for so many things?
Following that, he asked, "Senior Brother Hu Yiyuan, I wonder if I should ask something?"
Hu Yiyuan was stunned for a moment before he sighed and said, "Junior Brother, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. there are many things I have to tell you anyway."
"Yiyuan," Hu Yiyuan said Yiyuan...... of the Li Yiyuan's Sect. Since Hu Yiyuan was willing to answer, Yi Tian did not beat around the bush. He pointed his finger at Hu Yiyuan and asked about all the complicated matters.
Hu Yiyuan replied solemnly, "The Li Fire Sect has been in disarray for more than two thousand years. However, the few large branches that have been passed down have maintained the continuity of the sect. The current Sect Master of the Middle State's Li Fire Sect is my Senior Brother, Lu Jinyuan. Although his way of doing things is a little extreme, he is still doing things for the overall situation of the sect."
Upon hearing the words' extreme ', Yi Tian recalled what Huo Chilian had said in the Western Wilderness. After the Middle State's Li Fire Sect annexed the' Great Sun Sect ', they destroyed his' Qiankun Imperial Fire Sect '.
This could not be called extreme. To be precise, Lu Jinyuan was an ambitious person. He had used the name of the Li Fire Sect's merger to hide his ulterior motives.
However, although the person in front of him looked rather polite, Yi Tian was still wary of him. Although they still addressed each other as Senior Brother, the two lineages had been separated for so many years. The older generation was no longer around, so their relationship had been severed for a long time.
After flying for a few hours, Hu Yiyuan looked at the map in his hand and transmitted his voice to Yi Tian, "We're almost there. After passing by Heaven's Gate Cliff in front, we will reach the entrance to the ruins."
Yi Tian nodded in understanding. Following that, the two of them sped up. After passing by Heaven's Gate Cliff, Hu Yiyuan pointed to a flat area in the middle of the cliff and said, "This is it." Following that, he took the lead and descended.
After bringing the two of them to the flat slope, Yi Tian looked around. This place was a little desolate, as though it was rarely visited. However, there seemed to be a spirit vein at the bottom of the slope, which made him delighted.
Typically, cave abodes and treasures would be placed above spirit veins. As such, as long as the spirit vein was maintained, the array formation of the ruins could continue.
Hu Yiyuan looked at the jade scroll in his hand and took out an ancient token. On it was engraved the words' Li Fire ', and on the back was' Artifact Pavilion '. From the looks of it, it was similar to the Artifact Pavilion's identity token in Huo Chilian's hand, but its history was definitely much longer.
According to Yi Tian's guess, this was the token that the Li Fire Sect's Artifact Pavilion's First Seat had. As for Huo Chilian's token, it was probably an imitation made by a disciple who set up another sect.
After Hu Yiyuan injected his spiritual energy into the token, it turned completely red. Following that, a red flame shot out from the token and shone on the top of the cliff. Following that, it was reflected onto a lake below.
Following that, it felt like the ground was shaking. The reflected lake water immediately lowered by thirty feet, revealing a stone door.
The two of them were delighted when they saw this. After nodding in understanding, they flew down and stopped in front of the stone door to observe it. There was a groove at the top of the stone door, and the size of the luggage matched the size of the token.
Hu Yiyuan extended his hand and inserted the token into the groove. Following that, there was a cracking sound as the entire stone door opened. He turned around and said to Yi Tian, "Let's hurry up and go in. There are still many things we need to trouble Junior Brother."
Yi Tian did not put on any pretense and said lightly, "Senior Brother Hu, please lead the way. If there is anything you need me for, please let me know."
After the two of them entered the passage behind the door, the stone door closed with a bang. Following that, the water level in the lake returned to its original state, as if no one had been there.
Half a day later, two flashes of light, one gray and one yellow, flew over from the horizon. Their destination was Heaven's Gate Cliff. After the flashes stopped, the figures of two cultivators appeared. If Yi Tian was present, he would definitely be surprised to find that he was being followed. And the people following him were Fu Kecheng and Fan Xing, who had made a deal with him at the gathering.
Fan Xing said, "Fellow Daoist Fu, we've followed him here. Are we not going to continue following him?"
Fu Kecheng's expression was unpleasant at this moment. His senses were already intermittent. He didn't expect the two to fly so fast. If it wasn't for the special tracking mark he left on the wu gou, he wouldn't have been able to find them.
After thinking for a moment, he replied, "If this kid and Master Scarlet Sun had obediently returned to the sect, I wouldn't have a chance at all. But since he came out, don't blame me for being ruthless. My tracking sense is isolated here. These two should be within fifty miles of here. At most, we'll wait here for a while. "
Fan Xing could only nod and agree, "Alright, but I want at least seventy percent of his belongings."
Fu Kecheng laughed, "Alright, I can give you the items, but I only want him. This kid killed my disciple, Yin Lixing, so I can only let him become my Yuanying Corpse. "
