After the battle in the East Sea, the human race had once again repelled the invasion of the Sea Race and pulled the defensive border back to Ninghai City and Dinghai City. After this lesson, the Yuanying cultivators of the Six Sects of Eastern Ao unanimously discussed the need to strengthen the island chain's defenses.
In the following days, the rebuilding of Ninghai City and the resetting of the island chain's defenses were put on the agenda. Due to the heavy losses suffered by the three northern sects, they were temporarily unable to restart the island chain's defenses. Therefore, the work was pushed to Dinghai City.
The three southern sects hurriedly conscripted array masters to reinforce Dinghai City. According to the established plan, not only did they have to repair the original island chain's array formation system, but they also had to set up many array formations in the inner sea of the East Sea as a second line of defense.
After learning from the previous incident, everyone generally realized the importance of these lines of defense. They could be used as a transition point and could also be set up as a buffer zone during wartime.
These matters no longer had anything to do with Yi Tian. The sect would let Yangyan Zi handle this matter. As for the other disciples, they only needed to follow orders.
After returning to the sect, Yi Tian directly went to Lava Valley where Senior Brother Scarlet Sun was in seclusion. This time, during the fierce battle in Ninghai City, he had revealed the true identity of the Wise King Saint. Presumably, this news couldn't be hidden. It was better to openly admit it to Scarlet Sun.
At this moment, Yi Tian and Scarlet Sun sat face to face in the thatched hut in the center of Lava Valley for a long time. After a while, Scarlet Sun slowly opened his eyes and smiled. "Junior Brother, this time, you helped the Six Sects of Eastern Ao resolve their problems and also formed a relationship with the East Sea Flood Dragon King. At least the Eastern Ao Sea will be safe for the next 500 years."
"Junior Brother, you hold an important position in the Wise King Sect and learned the Wise King Saint's cultivation technique. Senior Brother, are you not concerned about this?" Yi Tian asked doubtfully.
Scarlet Sun's expression didn't change as he replied, "Junior Brother, you are mistaken. The Six Sects of Eastern Ao also have many spies in the Southern Border. How could such a big matter like the Wise King Saint's return to the sect be hidden from us?"
Yi Tian came to a sudden realization and said, "So Senior Apprentice Brother knew about this long ago. Junior Apprentice Brother had no choice back then. What's more, I promised Qin Mingyue that I would help him revive the Wisdom King Dao and receive his reincarnation. "
"Oh, that previous Wise King Holy Son, Qin Mingyue, is indeed a character. It seems like you've already found his reincarnation. I wonder which sect would you like to bring him into now?" Daoist Scarlet Sun asked.
"Originally, Qin Mingyue wanted to come to my Profound Yang Sect. However, by chance, she became a disciple of the Central Province's Sanskrit Temple. After my recommendation, she was placed under Master Hui Yuan's seat." Yi Tian sighed.
Daoist Scarlet Sun was first stunned when he heard this, and then he shook his head and sighed, "I didn't expect Qin Mingyue to have such thoughts. However, joining the Buddhist Sect is also an opportunity."
After sighing with emotion, he turned to Yi Tian and said, "Junior Brother now has the heavy responsibility of reviving the two sects. You have to consider everything carefully and weigh the pros and cons of each side."
"Senior Brother, what do you mean?" Yi Tian asked in confusion.
"This battle in the Eastern Sea was originally a test for you from the third platoon. Senior Brother Tie Jian and Nangong Ba both had their own plans. They wanted to see how a junior brother from the direct lineage like you would deal with the world." Daoist Scarlet Sun explained.
Yi Tian was already aware of these matters. However, it was inevitable that he would hold a grudge against Daoist Scarlet Sun for bringing it up. He changed the topic and asked, "Fortunately, it was handled properly this time. I wonder if the two lineages are satisfied with my methods."
Daoist Scarlet Sun stroked his beard and said with a smile, "If they weren't satisfied, why would they send someone to deliver the sect's keepsake?" After saying that, he took out three ancient tokens of different colors and handed them over.
After Yi Tian received the three tokens, he carefully scanned the patterns on them. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed. The tokens were engraved with the Spirit Realm's language. When the three tokens were combined, it wasn't difficult to notice that there was something missing.
Following that, Yi Tian asked, "Senior Brother, it seems like there are other parts to this item?"
"That's right. This item is a keepsake passed down from generation to generation in the Li Fire Sect. It was originally kept by the Sect Master. The three tokens in your hands were bought by Chi Yang, Xuan Ling and Tie Jian respectively. According to what I know, there are still a few pieces that are scattered around. To revive the Li Fire Sect, you have to gather all of these tokens. "Daoist Scarlet Sun said.
After some thought, Yi Tian asked again, "I wonder if there are any clues about the remaining tokens? Senior Brother, please enlighten me. "
"Keep the tokens well. As the new Li Fire Sect Master, you should have the right to keep them. As for the remaining few pieces, you will need to go through various means to obtain them." Daoist Scarlet Sun said after straightening his expression, "Junior Brother, this item has a wide range of implications. Back when the Li Fire Patriarch built the Ascension Platform, he created six keys. In order to not correspond to the six spiritual realms above, these six keys are indispensable if you want to rebuild the Ascension Platform."
Upon hearing this, Yi Tian's expression turned solemn. These items were likely three of the keys. From the looks of it, the leaders of the three sects were willing to hand over these items as a form of recognition for him. Following that, Yi Tian slowly cupped his hands towards Daoist Scarlet Sun and said, "Junior Brother will not dare to slack off with such a heavy responsibility. I will definitely do my best to revive the sect."
Following that, he flipped his hand and took out a jade box, handing it to Daoist Scarlet Sun and said, "This item is a token of my appreciation. Senior Brother, please do not reject it."
Daoist Scarlet Sun received the jade box and opened it. After scanning it with his perception, a look of surprise appeared on his face. Following that, he said with a smile, "I appreciate Junior Brother's good intentions. I will only take one of these items. Any more will be useless." After saying that, he took out a jade box and kept it. He then returned the remaining Yuan Yang Fruit to Yi Tian.
After a while, Daoist Scarlet Sun spoke again, "Obtaining this fruit is also an opportunity for me. Even if I do not make any progress, I can at least extend my life by three hundred years. Junior Brother, you sure are considerate."
Yi Tian said, "It has not been long since I reached the Nascent Soul realm. In the future, I will need Senior Brother's guidance to integrate the sect."
Daoist Scarlet Sun nodded and said, "Junior Brother, your current shortcoming is that you lack time to consolidate. However, this matter cannot be rushed. Let nature take its course." After saying that, he took out a jade slip and handed it over.
After Yi Tian received it, he directly checked it with his Spiritual Sense. After that, a little joy appeared on his face. It turned out that during this period of time, a rogue cultivator had entered the sect with his token and was now arranged to be a senior guest in the Artifact Hall.
This person was Huo Chilian, a fellow disciple of the Li Fire Sect whom Yang Kai had befriended when he was stranded in the Western Wilderness. Since the other party kept his promise and came to join the sect, Yang Kai had to make some appropriate arrangements.
Following that, he briefly recounted Huo Chilian's experience to Daoist Scarlet Sun. The latter could not help but nod as he listened. He was also very sympathetic towards the Li Fire Sect's encounter. However, when he mentioned the Sect Master of the Li Fire Sect, Lu Jinyuan, his expression turned a little unnatural.
It was thought that Daoist Scarlet Sun was worried about the internal strife in the Li Fire Sect, but who knew that Daoist Scarlet Sun would suddenly say with a serious expression, "Junior Brother inheriting the Grand Lineage, and as a direct descendant, reviving the Li Fire Sect is already set in stone. However, please promise me one thing."
Upon hearing this, Yi Tian was stunned. This was the first time he had seen Daoist Scarlet Sun so solemn. He did not know what Daoist Scarlet Sun wanted to say, so he slowly replied, "Senior Brother, please instruct me."
"You have to promise me to let Lu Jinyuan go." Daoist Scarlet Sun said without any reason.
