Within the palace at the peak of Tian Ji Mountain, Yi Tian was walking alone on the Ascension Platform. Using his divine sense to scan the surroundings, he could not help but recall that the Myriad Eagle King had mentioned that this Ascension Platform was now in a half abandoned state.
From the looks of the surroundings, the inscriptions on the Ascension Platform had been eroded by the wind and could not be seen clearly. There was a stone platform at the side that had a six petal-shaped circular groove on it.
Looking at the pattern in the groove, Yi Tian took out three sect tokens from his storage ring. Following the pattern, he gently placed them into the groove and found that the sizes matched perfectly.
In an instant, three rays of light shot out from the groove and shone on the surrounding walls. Yi Tian looked around and saw that the originally bare stone walls had faintly revealed a few paintings.
Looking closely, he could see that there were three connected murals. The upper right corner of each painting had words written in the language of the spirit realm. After reading it carefully, he recognized that it was the Shura Realm, the Demon Spirit Realm, and the True Devil Realm. After turning his gaze to the three murals, it was not difficult to see that the contents of the murals were the three realms.
Among them, the Shura Realm had the appearance of a man and a woman in the true body of an Asura. The woman in the mural looked enchanting and beautiful, while the male Asura had a ferocious appearance.
The murals in the Demon Spirit World depicted a group of spirit beasts worshipping the True Dragon and Phoenix in the sky.
As for the True Devil Realm, it was much simpler. There was only a huge demon with a greedy expression on its face. It had two horns on its head and was holding a spirit weapon as it sat on a skeleton throne.
The spirit realm language on the Ascension Platform seemed to have sensed something and slowly activated. However, in less than three breaths of time, the originally activated inscriptions suddenly dimmed. Following that, the three murals also suddenly became blurry.
With three 'pu pu pu' sounds, the three tokens in the groove were actually directly ejected. The entire hall that was originally lit up dimmed in an instant.
Looking at it, this should be the result of not fully activating the runes. Seeing this, Yi Tian was not discouraged. Who told him to only have half of the key in his hand? He stepped forward and picked up the three tokens. After taking a closer look, a look of understanding appeared on his face.
It seemed that if he wanted to activate the Ascension Platform, he would need to collect all six keys. Apart from Huo Chilian, who might have one, the rest should be in the hands of Lu Jinyuan of the Central Continent's Distant Fire Branch.
However, the Ascension Platform was a secret. Furthermore, it was only a backup location. It was unknown what the situation was like in the Li Fire Sect's Ascension Platform. Thinking of this, Yi Tian couldn't help but consider the Thousand Eagle King. It looked like he was trapped here to guard the Ascension Platform, so he knew a little about the Higher World.
Moreover, he wasn't stupid enough to believe his words. Since there was a Demon Spirit World, then Demon Cultivators could also ascend. Demonic beasts that had cultivated to this level would all consider their own future. Instead of slowly exhausting their lifespan in this world, they might as well break through and ascend. Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, they would still try.
From this, it could be seen that the Thousand Eagle King had to have a request for him to be so courteous. As for the other three Fey Kings, they most likely had the same concerns. After all, their cultivation levels had reached a certain level over the past three thousand years, so they had to find a way out.
After sorting out the information, Yi Tian smiled and thought to himself, "I never expected that my position as the Li Fire Sect's Sect Master would become so popular. From the looks of it, as long as I make good use of this relationship, with the help of the four Fey Kings, it wouldn't be difficult to revive the Li Fire Sect."
After putting away the tokens, Yi Tian looked up at the sealed spatial rift before slowly turning around and walking towards the passageway he came in.
After scanning the surrounding stone walls, he realized that there was a large array restriction here. And the key to the restriction was the Nan Ming Li Fire in his hand.
With the seal set up by Patriarch Li Fire, other than the Li Fire Sect's Sect Master, no one else could take half a step in no matter how powerful they were. It was likely that even if the Thousand Eagle King had been trapped here for three thousand years, he would still be unable to know the secrets within.
Upon thinking of this, Yi Tian could not help but feel pleased. Following that, an idea came to him. He might as well use this as bait to deal with the leader of the four Fey Kings.
After thinking about it, his footsteps became lighter, and he hurriedly dashed toward the exit.
Two hours later, in a cave deep in the eagle nest, Yi Tian and the Thousand Eagle King were sitting opposite each other. In front of them was a teapot and two teacups.
Looking at the two teacups in front of him, Yi Tian knew that the Thousand Eagle King must have been deeply influenced by Patriarch Li Fire. The way he tasted tea was definitely not done on a whim. It was a habit that he had been influenced by over a long period of time.
Hence, he did not have any of the Fey race's characteristics. Furthermore, his words and actions were exactly like a human cultivator.
After gently picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Yi Tian felt a pure spiritual energy enter his stomach from his throat. Following that, he circulated his cultivation to dissolve it. He felt that his cultivation level had more or less increased.
Facing the Thousand Eagle King's politeness, Yi Tian did not dare to put on airs. After drinking his tea, he slowly said, "The Thousand Eagle King must be a senior of the sect. I'm really flattered to be treated so courteously."
The Thousand Eagle King picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip before replying, "Sect Master Yi, you are too serious. Although I'm a Li Fire Sect Elder, I don't dare to call myself one in front of the Sect Master."
"How did the Thousand Eagle King know at a glance that I have successfully refined the Nan Ming Li Fire? Could it be from the congratulatory gift?" Yi Tian asked.
The Thousand Eagle King revealed a faint smile and said, "When Mo Wen Tian sent me a message to inform me of your situation, I was initially hesitant. However, after seeing the congratulatory gift you sent, I knew that he was not lying. Furthermore, the fact that he was willing to hand over the token in his hand to you explained everything."
So that was the case. Senior Mo had warned him beforehand. If he had known earlier, he would not have spent so much effort refining spiritual weapons. The Myriad Eagle King gently picked up the teapot and poured himself another cup of tea before asking, "Since the Eastern Ao Three Sects have already acknowledged Sect Master Yi's identity, then when will you head to the Middle Continent's ancestral land to gather Lu Jinyuan's branch lineage?"
"I do have such plans. Unfortunately, the Dong Ao naval battle has just ended. Furthermore, with the delay of the Mount Tai Huang incident and the relocation of the Corpse School in the north, I can't leave for the time being," Yi Tian replied after some thought.
"I noticed that Sect Master Yi looked troubled when you mentioned the Li Fire branch in the Middle State. I wonder if there are any grudges?" The Thousand Eagle King asked.
Yi Tian was taken aback before he slowly recounted his promise to Master Scarlet Sun. Upon hearing this, the Thousand Eagle King could not help but nod and say, "With Master Scarlet Sun's request, even if Sect Master Yi were to agree to it, it would still be difficult. After all, that Lu Jinyuan is not an easy person to deal with. Furthermore, he is ambitious. For him to be able to develop the Li Fire Sect to such an extent among the various large sects in the Middle State, he must be someone with extraordinary intelligence."
This sentence made Yi Tian involuntarily recall the intricate relationships between the sects in the Middle State and the Li Fire Sect's present situation. Even if he were to put himself in Lu Jinyuan's shoes, he would not be able to handle these relationships better than Lu Jinyuan.
