In the deepest secret chamber of the Yong Capital City's City Lord Residence, Yi Tian and Hu Yiyuan were sitting opposite each other with a soundproof enchantment activated around them. At this moment, Yi Tian did not look happy. He was only calmly sizing up Hu Yiyuan in front of him. After exchanging blows with Helian Hongbo, he could clearly see the gap between the two of them.
Now, for Yi Tian to be able to sit here and even address him as Senior Brother, Hu Yiyuan did not feel good about it. Although he recalled that Yi Tian had previously stated that he would not compete with Lu Jinyuan for the position of Sect Master, this was based on strength.
With Yi Tian's present cultivation level, even if he became an Elder of the Li Fire Sect after it was revived, he might not be able to make Lu Jinyuan feel at ease.
Thinking of the hidden danger of internal strife before the Li Fire Sect was revived, Hu Yiyuan sighed deeply. He looked like he wanted to say something but was hesitating.
Although he could roughly guess what he was thinking, Yi Tian did not expose him. Later on, he took out the jade scroll that Tian Jizi had divined for him and handed it over. His lips moved slightly as he said, "Senior Brother, please take a look."
"Could this be," Hu Yiyuan's face revealed an uncertain look. Just as his right hand was about to take the jade scroll, he retracted it and said, "Senior Tian Jizi's divination words?"
"That's right," Yi Tian said with a smile.
Hu Yiyuan adjusted his expression and declined, "This is no trivial matter. Since Tian Jizi has acknowledged Junior Brother Yi's position as Sect Master, I have nothing to say. However, the words of this divination are related to the rise and fall of the Sect. Forgive Senior Brother for not overstepping his boundaries. "
"Oh, how did Senior Brother know of this?" Yi Tian asked.
"Sigh, I have long known of the relationship between the Heavenly Fortune Sect and the Li Fire Sect. Furthermore, Senior Brother Lu had gone to meet Senior Tian Jizi many years ago, but he returned empty-handed," Hu Yiyuan replied.
Yi Tian was well aware of the reason behind this. Presumably, when Lu Jinyuan asked for help back then, Tian Jizi rejected him on the grounds of recovering the Sect's token. From the looks of it, Hu Yiyuan had most likely guessed the reason. However, this time, Yi Tian wanted to find someone to dispel his doubts. Furthermore, Hu Yiyuan was one of the few Yuanying cultivators in the Li Fire Sect, so Yi Tian did not believe that letting him know would have any negative effects on him.
After a moment, he handed over the jade slip in his hand and said, "Senior Martial Brother Hu is too polite. Although my Junior Martial Brother's Divine Fate Predictor has taken a liking to me and divined my final fortune, what he wants to see the most is that we can restore the sect to its former glory. I won't take these personal gains and losses to heart. If Senior Brother Lu really wants to pursue this matter, I can hand over the Sect's token to him. "
After saying this, he flipped his right hand over and a foot-long copper mirror appeared. He then slowly handed it over to the other party.
Hu Yiyuan's face revealed a hint of surprise. He reached out and touched the bronze mirror. Behind the mirror, two ancient words of the Spirit Realm appeared, "Hao Tian". Following that, he picked it up and carefully examined it. A thoughtful look appeared on his face.
After a while, he slowly handed the Hao Tian Mirror back to Yi Tian and said, "Junior Martial Brother is indeed lucky to be able to find the Sect Master's token, the Hao Tian Mirror. And I am very impressed by your magnanimity to be able to put down your personal honor for the sect's matters. If Senior Martial Brother Lu had half of your insight, the Li Fire Sect would have long become a first-rate sect second only to the three major sects."
"Senior Martial Brother, are you not willing to hand the Sect Master's token to Senior Martial Brother Lu for me?" Yi Tian asked in puzzlement.
"I would like to, but unfortunately, Senior Martial Brother Lu is not fated to do so." Hu Yiyuan sighed and said, "Junior Martial Brother, do you know that the Hao Tian Mirror was shattered by Luo Que in the great battle two thousand years ago? He even took away the outer edges. From then on, only the Yin-Yang Dichroic Mirror was left in the core."
Yi Tian nodded in tacit agreement. Following that, he heard Hu Yiyuan continue, "To use the Yin-Yang Dichroic Mirror, one has to master the sect's cultivation technique to the peak of the initial stages. As for using the Hao Tian Mirror, one has to master the Nan Ming Li Fire that was passed down to the Sect Master. Senior Martial Brother Lu and I are not fated to do so, so there's no point in keeping the Hao Tian Mirror. "
It turned out that they had already understood the intricacies behind it. Thinking back to Hu Yiyuan, Lu Jinyuan did not even have the ability to use the Hao Tian Mirror, so there was no point in keeping it by his side.
After putting away the Hao Tian Mirror, Yi Tian handed over the jade scroll in his hand and said, "In that case, Junior Martial Brother, please temporarily keep the Sect Master's token. However, I hope Senior Martial Brother Hu can help me clear up Senior Martial Brother Tian Jizi's lies. With my strength alone, I am temporarily unable to understand its true meaning."
Seeing Yi Tian's sincere look, Hu Yiyuan hesitated for a moment before taking the jade scroll and saying, "I will naturally obey the Sect Master's orders."
"Senior Martial Brother Hu, this Junior Martial Brother has never had such thoughts." Yi Tian hurriedly tried to clarify when he heard the way Hu Yiyuan addressed him had changed.
Hu Yiyuan gestured for him to calm down. Following that, he cupped his hands towards Yi Tian and said politely, "Since Junior Martial Brother is able to repair the Sect Master's token, you must have mastered the Nan Ming Li Fire. The position of Sect Master is definitely yours, so I hope you will not reject it. Does Junior Martial Brother wish to see the Li Fire Sect's state of disintegration continue? "
Yi Tian felt extremely helpless after being forced to do something beyond his ability. However, from Hu Yiyuan's expression, if he did not agree to it today, there would be no way to resolve the matter. He nodded and said with a serious expression, "Senior Martial Brother Hu, please forgive me. I am the new Sect Master of the Li Fire Sect, but I'm still worried that Senior Martial Brother Lu will hold a grudge against me."
"How did Senior Martial Brother Tian Jizi evaluate the relationship between Sect Master and Senior Martial Brother Lu?" Hu Yiyuan asked without any reason.
"Senior Martial Brother Lu and I will not turn against each other. There are not many opportunities for our paths to cross." Yi Tian answered truthfully.
Hu Yiyuan sighed as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. Moments later, his face revealed a look of joy as he said, "Sect Master, don't worry. Since Senior Martial Brother Tian Jizi has made such an assertion, then go ahead and do it. You and Senior Martial Brother Lu, one in the open and one in the dark, are both contributing to the revitalization of the sect. In the future, you might not meet each other. I can keep your identity a secret for the time being, but if the Li Fire Sect is in trouble, you have to appear in time to help. "
"Of course, of course." Yi Tian hurriedly said, "Senior Martial Brother Hu, please take a look at what this oracle is referring to."
Only then did Hu Yiyuan reach out to receive the jade scroll. After opening it, his gaze landed on the oracle. His face revealed a look of deep thought as he repeatedly recited the words' the end of the horizon '.
After a long while, he suddenly reached out his hand and took out a map. He opened it and saw that the terrain of the Tian Lan continent was clearly depicted on it. Other than the Middle Prefecture, there was also the Eastern Ao, Western Wilderness, Southern Border and Northern Plains.
Furthermore, there was a large archipelago sea region outside the Southern Border. Yi Tian focused his eyes and knew that it was the Ten Thousand Mile Sea region. Following that, he began to search in detail from the Ten Thousand Mile Sea region. Soon, his gaze landed on the outer seas of the Infernal Sea region. He recalled that he seemed to have found the Heavenly Cloud Pavilion's ancestral grounds there years ago. After that, he did not continue searching.
Speaking of which, it was really the end of the horizon. Upon thinking of this, he immediately described his encounter to Hu Yiyuan. At the end, he mentioned that he could search there again.
Instead, it was Hu Yiyuan who did not immediately reply. Instead, he revealed a look of serious thought. After a while, he said, "That's not right. Entering from the Infernal Sea region is definitely not the main path. It should be a high-level array formation in the outer layers. The main path should be here."
Yi Tian saw Hu Yiyuan point his finger at a spot in the middle of the map. It was the Li Fire Sect's ancestral grounds, the Purple Firmament Hall. He asked, "How do you know?"
"Just because the Li Fire Patriarch has dominated this world for thousands of years."
