The Eastern Proud Continent was originally under the joint governance of the Six Sects, at least that was what Yi Tian had imagined. But when he flew out of the cave of the transfer array, he found that there was not a single cultivator guarding the area within a hundred miles.
This place was clearly listed as a forbidden area by him and he had even sent Jin Dan disciples to guard it. But now, it had become a desolate place with no signs of life. He couldn't help but be stunned, but he didn't know what happened to cause it to become so dilapidated.
After opening the restriction array in the forbidden area, Yi Tian slowly flew into the air towards the location of the Crimson Flame Hills.
Since it was rare for him to return to the Eastern Proud Continent, he had to return. Moreover, he didn't know what cultivation level his dao companion Liu Piaopao had reached.
After not returning to the sect for so many years, he was afraid that the world had changed. He didn't know how many of his close friends were still alive. He estimated in his heart that those who were able to survive until now were either outstanding cultivators who had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage or were at least late Jin Dan cultivators. Moreover, they were people who didn't have much lifespan left.
His heart was filled with loneliness, but he could only sigh. The heavens rewarded the diligent, only those who were courageous and diligent could walk further on the path of immortality.
Along the way, he was surprised to find that the middle level cultivators who were guarding the small and medium-sized cultivators weren't there. There were only a few qi refining stage cultivators there.
There was definitely something strange about this strange situation. Yi Tian casually took out his Communication Jade Token and tried to contact Senior Brother Scarlet Sun. However, he didn't receive any reply. At this moment, Yi Tian gradually had a bad premonition.
He took out the sect jade token again and tried to contact Liu Piaopao, but there was no reply. Yi Tian's face suddenly showed a trace of haze, and then he flew towards the direction of the Crimson Flame Hills.
In broad daylight, a green light flew across the sky. Ordinary cultivators wouldn't be able to detect it. Even the Jin Dan cultivators wouldn't be able to detect someone flying over their heads when they looked up at the sky.
It took Yi Tian less than two hours to cover the distance of a few thousand miles. When he arrived at the Red Flame Hills, he found that everything was the same as before. The disciples guarding the gate didn't seem to have any abnormalities either.
After concealing himself, Yi Tian transformed into a gust of wind and entered the mountain gate. To his surprise, he did not find a single Jin Dan disciple along the way.
Even when he passed by the Artifact Hall, he didn't sense Huo Chilian's aura. If it were someone else, it wouldn't be a big deal. However, he was an early stage Yuanying cultivator. It was impossible for him to leave the sect for no reason.
After leaving the Artifact Hall, he once again passed by the Alchemy Hall and the Technique Hall, and discovered that the Jin Dan First Seats of these two places were also not present.
After entering the inner region of the Sect, Yi Tian first returned to the Water Curtain Cave on Young Eaglet Peak. Outside the cave, he found that the seal on the cave door was intact and there were no signs of it being broken. After entering the cave, he swept it with his Divine Sense and found that everything was in good order. Obviously, Liu Piaopao had taken good care of it. However, she was not in the cave.
After leaving the Eaglet Peak, Yi Tian went straight to the forbidden area of the back mountain of the Profound Yang Sect, the Lava Valley. Here, the thatched cottage where Scarlet Sun Daoist lived in seclusion was still intact, but there was no trace of him inside.
After searching the entire Sect inside and out, he found that none of the cultivators above Jin Dan Stage were in the Sect.
In his heart, he knew that something bad must have happened. However, he had just returned and was unable to understand the cause and effect of the matter.
After thinking about it, he hurriedly turned around and flew in the direction of the Profound Yang Main Hall. If all the high-level cultivators were dispatched, they would certainly leave behind some Foundation Establishment Stage disciples to guard the place. It seemed that he could only find those people in charge of the Sect to understand the truth of the matter.
The distance from the back mountain to the main hall was at least a few dozen miles, but for Yi Tian, it was just a blink of an eye. Shaoqing flew above the main hall and used his Divine Sense to explore it. He found that there were ten Foundation Establishment Stage disciples guarding the main hall. The Foundation Establishment Stage late stage disciple sitting in front of the main hall had fire spiritual power. Obviously, he had received a true inheritance.
Then, his figure flashed in the air and turned into a blue light, directly landing on the main seat in the middle of the main hall.
Yi Tian's sudden appearance immediately aroused the vigilance of many disciples. They hurriedly took out the spirit tools in their hands and rushed forward to surround him. Among them, there was someone who directly shouted, "Which cultivator dares to trespass into the Profound Yang Ancestral Hall? Quickly report your name."
The Foundation Establishment Stage late stage cultivator walked forward and looked at Yi Tian's face. Suddenly, his body trembled. He put away the Spirit Tool in his hand and saluted with both hands, "May I know if Senior is our Sect's Old Ancestor Yi Tian?"
Rubbing his chin, Yi Tian unhappily replied, "Old Ancestor, am I old? What is your name? Who is your Sect? How can you recognize my appearance? "
Hearing this, the Foundation Establishment Stage late stage cultivator's face was filled with joy. He hurriedly waved his hand to signal his brothers to put away their Spirit Tools. Then, he directly walked forward and kowtowed three times and nine times, "Disciple Hua Feiyang is Sect Master Qu's direct disciple."
"Oh, your surname is Hua. Then who is that idiot Hua Shicheng to you?" Yi Tian asked casually.
Hua Feiyang's face was filled with embarrassment. Then, he could only smile and say, "Hua Shicheng is disciple's sixth great grandfather. Back then, my Ancestor was fortunate enough to enter the sect with Ancestor. After that, he left the sect with no hope of reaching Core Formation and established a cultivation family. Fortunately, my Ancestor had drawn the Ice Soul Four Friends. Disciple was able to see Ancestor's appearance first. "
"The Ice Soul Four Friends, Hua Shicheng is really considerate." Yi Tian immediately recalled the scene when the four of them first met in the Ice Soul Cave. Now that five hundred years had passed, he was probably the only one left of the four.
Hua Shicheng and Tang Lin originally had limited talent. It was already not easy for them to reach Foundation Establishment. At most, they could live for a hundred and fifty years.
As for Wu Xing, although his talent was much higher than the others, he didn't like to live an adventurous life. He had been cooped up in the sect his entire life. When he returned to the sect last time, he already discovered that his lifespan was slowly decreasing. Even if he became the Head Seat of the Alchemy Hall, as long as he couldn't break through to Nascent Soul, he could be considered to have no fate with longevity.
Furthermore, he had always been a conservative person. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to see him again when he returned this time. Thinking about it carefully, back then, only cultivators who had reached the Yuanying Realm were able to live until now. If that was the case, he wouldn't be able to see many of them anymore. Thus, when he returned, these disciples would all feel that he was unfamiliar.
In the future, he would have to leave behind a drawing in the sect. Otherwise, after a few hundred years, no one in Xuan Yang Sect would be able to recognize him.
Thinking about it, he sighed and turned to look at Hua Shicheng, "Stand up. You were ordered to stay in the sect. Naturally, you are the substitute sect leader. There is no need for formalities."
Hearing this, Hua Feiyang's face lit up with joy. However, he didn't stand up. Instead, he called for the surrounding disciples to kneel and pay their respects to the old ancestor. Although Yi Tian was disdainful of these red tape, at this time, thinking about his identity, he just let them be.
After the disciples had finished packing and retreated to the side, Hua Feiyang walked forward and said, "Reporting to Old Ancestor, half a month ago, after Sect Master Qu received an urgent report from Iron Sword Sect's Ancestral Master Mo, he led all of the Jindan disciples, Elder Liu and Elder Huo to provide support."
"Then what about Ancestor Chi Yang?" Yi Tian asked, puzzled.
Hua Feiyang hurriedly replied, "This matter was caused by Ancestor Chi Yang. I don't know the details. I only heard from the sect leader that Ancestor Chi Yang had already gone to Skyscraping Cliff as per Senior Mo's agreement. This time, the message was signed by Senior Mo and Ancestor Chi Yang. Thus, the sect leader didn't dare to neglect it. "
"That brat Qu Yifeng brought all the Jin Dan cultivators and above with him. If there are other Jin Dan cultivators from other sects, wouldn't it be bad?" Yi Tian asked sternly.
Hua Feiyang hurriedly knelt down and said, "Ancestor, you don't have to worry. This time, the cultivators from the five major sects of Eastern Proud Continent have all received the message. They will definitely bring their disciples over."
"What matter would cause such a huge commotion? Could it be that Mo Wen Tian has exhausted his lifespan and wants to bid farewell to these old friends? But there's no need for him to bring all the Jin Dan disciples over. "Yi Tian frowned and asked.
The disciples present all had fearful expressions and couldn't answer. After a while, Hua Feiyang opened his mouth and said, "It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this is a rare event in Eastern Proud Continent. It's just that this time, people from the Central State have come. It seems like they want Senior Mo Wen Tian to gather the branch lineages and return to the origin."
When Yi Tian heard this, a trace of doubt appeared on his face. Back then, when he left the Central State, he had already set up a clever plan. In addition, he had already made things clear with Hu Yiyuan. He wouldn't fight for the Li Fire Orthodox Continent anymore. As long as everyone had a tacit understanding and worked together, it would be fine.
However, he didn't know why they could come to Eastern Proud Continent this time and make such a huge commotion. They even invited the cultivators from the five major sects to witness the ceremony. He was afraid that there was something fishy going on.
As the main character, he couldn't not go. Luckily, they had left half a month ago. With so many people going together, it would probably take some time. As long as he increased his speed, he might be able to catch up with Weiya.
After a while, Yi Tian extended his hand and took out the sect's jade token. He tossed it to Hua Feiyang and said, "Take my token and you can activate the sect's Protective Mountain Stratagem. From now on, you can only leave and not enter. Guard the sect strictly and don't let anyone have the chance to fish in troubled waters. At the same time, order all the disciples in the sect to be on guard. The number of disciples patrolling the borders will immediately be doubled. If anyone comes to provoke us, we only need to defend. Wait for me to go to Skyscraper Cliff to see what kind of earth-shattering event has happened to provoke the people from the Central State to clean up the origin. "
Hua Feiyang saw that the Patriarch's expression wasn't good. He knew that this matter was definitely not simple. As for them Foundation Establishment cultivators, they couldn't participate for now, so they could only defend and wait for reinforcements.
After receiving the token, Hua Feiyang held it in his hand and looked at it carefully. On the front was the Xuanyang Sect's Li Fire symbol. On the back was the Patriarch's name. Immediately, he discussed with the few brothers beside him about the distribution of the following tasks.
When Yi Tian saw this, he extended his hand and took out a storage pouch. He put some intermediate grade spiritual tools and talismans in it and handed it to Hua Feiyang, "Distribute these things. From now on, every disciple needs to be 120% alert. Everything will be discussed after I return to the sect."
After giving the order, Yi Tian's figure blurred and disappeared from the main seat. After three breaths, a green light appeared in the sky above the Crimson Flame Hills. Yi Tian looked at the direction of Skyscraper Cliff and quickly flew there.
The distance from the Crimson Flame Hills to Skyscraper Cliff was a few thousand miles. Even with his late stage Yuanying cultivation, he only needed a short two hours to reach there. Moreover, this time, Yi Tian felt that something was wrong, so he didn't intend to force his way in. After thinking about it, he decided to use his cultivation advantage to sneak in and see what was going on.
At the very least, Mo Wen Tian was the only late stage Yuanying cultivator in the Profound Yang Sect. With him around, Lu Jinyuan and the others wouldn't be able to do anything.
When he flew past the territory of the Xuan Ling Sect's branch, Yi Tian didn't deliberately stop. He only used his Divine Sense to scan the main hall and the interior of the sect. He found that there were only a few Jin Dan cultivators staying behind.
As for Nangong Aotian and Dongfang Lingyun, they seemed to have already set off with their disciples.
After passing through the territory of the Xuan Ling Sect, the territory of the Iron Sword Gate was to the west. The territories of the three sects had always been close to each other. At this point, Yi Tian found that the closer he got to Skyscraper Cliff, the more cultivators appeared.
Many of them were Jin Dan disciples under the banner of the five great sects or high grade rogue cultivators in Eastern Ao. Moreover, as he got closer to the interior of the Iron Sword Gate, he could also see the Yuanying rogue cultivators who were originally invisible.
Yi Tian didn't want to expose his identity. Thus, he performed a hand seal in the air and completely concealed his figure. Just like that, he followed the crowd below and flew straight to the entrance of Skyscraper Cliff.
Not long after, he followed the crowd through the mountain gate of the Iron Sword Sect and walked all the way to Skyscraper Cliff. Looking around, the Iron Sword Sect seemed to have activated the great defensive array, leaving only the mountain gate open for entry and exit.
In his heart, he secretly thought that it was a close call. If he forcefully entered from mid-air, he would definitely trigger the great array's restriction. When that happened, he would be forced to alert the many Yuanying cultivators. Even if he could explain himself, he would lose face.
As he followed the Jin Dan cultivators up the mountain, Yi Tian heard many cultivators from other sects and rogue cultivators complaining that the Iron Sword Sect was oppressing them. This time, the six sects gathered at Skyscraper Cliff, there would definitely be some kind of commotion.
As for the other cultivators, they probably wouldn't even have the chance to speak. However, if they could see the glory of the number one person in Eastern Ao, it would be worth the trip. There were even some who were discussing the situation of the guests from the Central Province. They were actually able to make Mo Wen Tian directly issue the most influential Iron Sword Token in Eastern Ao to invite everyone to be witnesses.
Not long after, he followed the crowd to the plaza in front of the Iron Sword Gate's main hall. Only then did he realize that there were about a thousand cultivators gathered here. The people in front of him were all Jin Dan cultivators. They could only be considered as the background for this great meeting. As for the Yuanying cultivators who were in charge, they should be waiting in the Iron Sword Gate's main hall to meet Mo Wen Tian.
After thinking about it, Yi Tian took a detour from the plaza and prepared to enter the main hall through the side door. Just now, he actually saw the banner of the Xuanyang Sect in the plaza. However, most of the cultivators here were Jin Dan cultivators, and he didn't know any of them.
Furthermore, he saw Xuan Jianxin's figure in front of the Iron Sword Gate's main hall. However, his cultivation was still at the early stage of Yuanying. However, he didn't want to cause any trouble, so it was best to avoid Yuanying cultivators as much as possible.
