News traveled very quickly on the Tianlan Continent. In Eastern Ao, a late-stage Yuanying cultivator like Yi Tian had defeated the mysterious Middle Ground cultivator, Gu Hui, at the Iron Sword Gate. The news of the battle between the late stage Yuanying cultivators like Yi Tian was exaggerated and exaggerated, shocking the entire Eastern Ao Cultivation World.
Originally, the three sects had already controlled 70% of Eastern Ao's territory. Now that a second late-stage Yuanying cultivator had appeared, the three sects in the north were suppressed so much that they couldn't even think of rebelling.
In the face of absolute power, all resistance was futile. Fortunately, this new late-stage Yuanying cultivator had private connections with the three sects in the north.
The White Bone Gate was the first to express their stance. The Yuanying cultivators of the sect directly approached Liu Piaopao, wanting to use their greatest advantage to express their goodwill.
Moreover, it was said that the Liu Clan's power in the White Bone Gate had been strengthened once again. After Liu Piaopao returned to the Liu Clan, the new head of the Liu Clan directly entered the decision-making level of the White Bone Gate, becoming the only late-stage Foundation Establishment Sect Elder.
As for Liu Piaopao, she had already exhausted her lifespan and entered the cycle of reincarnation. She had been sad for a long time because of this. She only hated that she couldn't return to the sect at that time and couldn't see her grandfather for the last time.
However, the White Bone Gate paid a hefty price in order to appease Liu Piaopao's resentment. In the end, they even guaranteed that the younger generation of the Liu Clan could choose to join any sect they wanted.
If they stayed in the White Bone Gate, all the benefits would be doubled. The Jin Dan Sect Elders all wanted to recruit a disciple of the Liu Clan's Sect Master. They wanted to use this opportunity to establish a relationship with the Yuanying cultivator Liu Piaopao.
Regarding this, Yi Tian's attitude was noncommittal. He neither opposed nor encouraged it. In any case, these matters would be left to the younger generation of disciples to argue about.
The cultivator from the Qihuang Sect was Yi Tian's old acquaintance, Zhu Chen. Zhu Chen had already advanced to the early stage of the Yuanying Realm. Yi Tian was indebted to Zhu Chen back then, so Zhu Chen took good care of him.
In addition to personally going out to welcome him, he also invited Yi Tian to his cave residence and chatted for a long time. Although he knew that the Qihuang Sect's Zhu Chen was also playing the sentimental card, Yi Tian himself was a sentimental person, so he didn't say much about it. He was well aware of this, but his mouth only talked about the past.
When she learned that her younger sister, Zhu Xin, was unable to refine Jin Dan to the Great Perfection Realm in the later stages, and her lifespan was exhausted and she escaped into the cycle of reincarnation, she sighed. The road to immortality was very difficult. Often, those with weak minds would fall midway. Regarding this, Yi Tian suddenly found that his state of mind had changed, and he had a new view of his own path.
After sending Zhu Chen away, Ke Manzi from the Corpse School was the last to arrive. Yi Tian's view of him was still relatively friendly. It was no wonder that he had seen his attitude when he was in the Qihuang Sect. Moreover, he didn't seem to have much lifespan left. The people who went against him in the Corpse School back then were all killed.
Now, Ke Manzi was also unable to support himself. His son, Ke Zhihao, also couldn't pass the Yuanying Tribulation and finally died on the streets. He was afraid that after Ke Manzi's death, the Corpse School would no longer have a powerful Yuanying cultivator, and would be reduced to a second-rate sect.
Moreover, many years ago, the Corpse School was driven to the barren land in the north of the Eastern Superior Sect. Their threat to the Xuan Yang Sect was greatly reduced, so much so that Yi Tian felt that the Corpse School would definitely compromise and even seek the protection of the Xuan Yang Sect.
In the future, Qu Yifeng and the others would deal with this. They also suffered a lot at the hands of the Corpse School, so they would probably secretly make a move to make things difficult for them.
After dealing with the cultivators of the three sects, the important matters of the Eastern Superior Sect would be entrusted to the disciples of the sect. Yi Tian stayed in the immortal's cave on Kitty Hawk Peak for a few days, and saw his wife, Liu Piaopao, every day and night. During this period of time, the two of them naturally had endless topics to talk about.
Yi Tian talked about his situation for so many years in detail, and also described the battle with Luo Que and Qian Lingzi at the end of the Sea of Eyes in detail. Only the matter of the Flying Immortal Guide was left out.
This matter was too important, and Yi Tian didn't want Liu Piaopao to get involved so early, so he avoided the important matters and only mentioned the trivial matters. As for helping Martial Ancestor Wu Ye escape, he spoke in detail. Hearing this, Liu Piaopao's face was full of shock, and there were a few times when she couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes and silently sobbed.
Now that she saw Yi Tian return safe and sound, Liu Piaopao's face finally showed some color. When it came to the matter of Gu Hui causing a ruckus at the Iron Sword Gate, Liu Piaopao pretended to be angry and said, "As soon as you came back, you rushed about for the sect's matters. That Gu Hui's appearance was originally within your calculations. Why didn't you show up earlier? You made me worried for a while."
Yi Tian smiled and replied, "At this time, it's also my fault. Originally, I had already discussed it with Lu Jinyuan and the others, but I didn't expect that the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Moreover, the Four Great Demon Kings are involved, so this matter can't be sloppy. "
Liu Piaopao was also a reasonable person. She knew that there were many implications, and her husband had no choice. He could only take things slowly and try his best to minimize the sect's losses.
The current Yi Tian was no longer as simple as the Yuanying cultivator from a hundred years ago. He bore the heavy responsibility of reviving the Li Fire Sect and the mission of readjusting the order of the Tian Lan continent's cultivation world. There were many things that he could not do based on his emotions.
The two of them sat in the cave and talked for a long time. Little did they know that a white light was flying in from the outside. It directly entered the Xuan Yang Sect's protective array and flew in the direction of the Eaglet Peak.
After a while, the white light flew to the entrance of the water curtain cave and disappeared into the cave in a flash. Sitting in the cave, Yi Tian was chatting with Liu Piaopao when he suddenly saw the white light flash in. He reached out his hand and grabbed it in his palm. After a while, he scanned it with his mind and revealed a lonely look.
When Liu Piaopao saw this, she knew that something must have happened. She hurriedly went forward and asked, "Husband, why are you like this?"
"Gu Hui is dead. He was caught up by Senior Brother Mo and his men. In the end, Senior Brother Chi Yang personally ended him." Yi Tian said lightly.
"That's a good thing. Now that the Li Fire Sect's greatest threat has been eliminated, why are you still frowning?" Liu Piaopao asked, puzzled.
Yi Tian smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "You don't know the details. This Gu Hui is not an evil person. Just like the scene recorded in the mirror, Gu Hui had no choice but to turn into a demon in that environment. If it were me, I wouldn't be as resolute as him. "
"The past is the past. Husband, please restrain your grief." Liu Piaopao replied.
Yi Tian waved his hand to indicate that he was fine. Then, he handed the communication jade charm to Liu Piaopao and said, "Before Gu Hui died, he actually passed a letter to Chi Yang at the moment his heart returned. He also instructed him to pass it to me. I'll see what the message is when they return."
"Then, what do you plan to do next?" Liu Piaopao asked.
"Now that the four Fey Monarchs have submitted, I'm just one step away from the Fire Sect's revival. After I uproot Qian Lingzi's remnants, I can reopen the sect and build an ascension platform to open a passage to the Upper Spiritual Realm. "Yi Tian replied.
Liu Piaopao had a thoughtful look on her face when she heard this. Following that, she revealed a lonely look as she sat by the side without saying a word.
When Yi Tian saw this, he could guess what she was thinking. It was probably because her cultivation couldn't keep up with his. After he ascended, she would be left alone in this world. How miserable would that be?
The cultivators in the White Bone Gate were at most mid-stage Yuanying. For thousands of years, there hadn't been a late-stage cultivator, let alone a Deity Transformation cultivator.
Fortunately, he had many martial arts that he could cultivate. After thinking about it, he took out the Heavenly Cloud Pavilion's cultivation technique and handed it to Liu Piaopao, saying, "You can change your cultivation technique to cultivate the Heavenly Cloud's Proud Technique. This way, you can reach the Deity Transformation stage."
The main reason he gave this cultivation technique to her was that it was a water-type cultivation technique. It complemented the Yin-type cultivation technique of the White Bone Gate, so it wouldn't take much effort to cultivate.
Most importantly, the Heavenly Cloud Pavilion's cultivation techniques ranged from low to high, all the way to the Deity Transformation stage. To Liu Piaopao, she could change her cultivation technique at any time and there was no need to consider the problem of conflicting cultivation techniques. After Liu Piaopao received the jade scroll, she smiled and said, "Husband, don't worry. I'll go into seclusion and try to raise my cultivation level as soon as possible. In the future, I'll have more time to accompany you."
A few months later, in the Xuan Yang Sect's main hall, Yi Tian personally presided over the Sect Master Succession Ceremony. During this ceremony, the Xuan Yang Sect was once again renamed to the Li Fire Sect.
As for the Zhong state Li Fire Branch's Lu Jinyuan, he acknowledged the Xuan Yang Sect's position as a successor. During the ceremony, he proposed that he and Hu Yiyuan return to the main sect as Li Fire Sect Elders.
As for the orthodoxy of the Zhong state Li Fire Branch, they were all included. The Zhong state Li Fire Sect was renamed to the Li Fire Courtyard. After all, after this matter, the Li Fire ancestral grounds had to be reopened, so the Li Fire Courtyard would still be under Lu Jinyuan's control.
Yi Tian was also very clear in his heart that after the incident with Gu Hui, Lu Jinyuan could no longer endure any more torment, and his cultivation path could be considered to have been completely destroyed by the Myriad Poison Soul Devouring Pill. With his current cultivation, he could at most suppress the poison for a hundred years.
Back when they surrounded Gu Hui, Mo Wen Tian had done his best to interrogate him about the antidote to the Ten Thousand Poison Soul Devouring Pill. Unfortunately, even Gu Hui did not attempt to concoct the antidote. Mo Wen Tian had long planned on sacrificing the person who consumed the pill.
Hu Yiyuan was able to escape from death because of his helplessness and dejection towards his cultivation path. That was why he had handed the pill to his senior brother. Unfortunately, God's plans were different from man's. Between the two of them, one was poisoned and the other had little lifespan left. In their dejection, they saw a glimmer of hope for the revival of the sect.
Now, they were considered Elders. They no longer interfered with the matters of the sect. They focused all their energy on nurturing the younger generation of the sect.
During the ceremony, Yi Tian directly promoted Qu Yifeng to the position of Li Fire Sect's young sect master. He also bestowed upon him the newly refined Purple Firmament Cup. After years of nurturing, the Purple Firmament Cup in his hand had already grown into a seventh level spiritual weapon.
As for the Li Fire Patriarch's broken Purple Firmament Cup, it had been fused together with the original one. In order to distinguish it from the one he had, Yi Tian had specially changed its name to the Crimson Firmament Cup and passed it to Qu Yifeng.
He would ascend sooner or later, so he had to choose a successor. However, among the younger generation of the sect, only Qu Yifeng was worthy of his attention. Although it was unknown how far he could go on his cultivation path, with him helping him, there was no need to worry for the time being.
Furthermore, Daoist Scarlet Sun had used all his strength to besiege Gu Hui, ignoring the problem of his lifespan running out. Yi Tian also felt that there was a need to account to him, which was why he made the suggestion.
After settling the internal affairs of the sect, Yi Tian discussed with the four Fey Kings, Mo Wen Tian, Daoist Scarlet Sun and company. During this time, he briefly explained the matters regarding the mighty figures from the upper realm, Luo Que and Qian Lingzi.
When everyone heard this, their faces were filled with excitement. As such, the entire Middle State was bound to fall into the hands of the Li Fire Sect. However, Yi Tian stood his ground and did not agree with the method of using power to oppress others.
One had to know that using power to subdue others was a hegemon. It was not a problem when he and the four Fey Kings were in this world. However, once they ascended, no one among the younger generation could hold down the fort. That would be a sign of the sect's destruction.
Furthermore, the various large sects in the Tian Lan continent had friendly relations with him. Why not use these relations to establish an offensive and defensive alliance? It was a simple and easy to understand logic that would benefit both sides. As long as everyone thought about it, they would clap their hands in praise.
To establish an offensive and defensive alliance, they had to come up with something real. The Li Fire Sect had dominated this world for many years, so they had amassed countless treasures.
Yi Tian did not wish to pursue the matter of the Artifact Pavilion being taken away. However, once it was revived, it would be his sect's property, so it would not be convenient for others to visit.
In addition to these, the Thousand Spirit Abyss in the Middle State had to be eradicated. That person was an avatar of Qian Lingzi. Even if the main soul died at his hands, this avatar could still pose a threat to him. Hence, Yi Tian suggested that they should not delay any further. They could sneak back to the Middle State and infiltrate the Thousand Spirit Sect to eliminate it.
At this point, Scarlet Sun's face was filled with worry. After thinking for a while, he said, "Reporting to the sect leader, the Thousand Spirit Sect still has three Yuanying cultivators holding the fort. It would not be easy to eliminate the Thousand Spirit Abyss without anyone noticing."
Yi Tian already knew that if he did not explain this matter clearly to them, they would not be able to carry it out. He raised his head and looked around. Fortunately, Liu Piaopao was still in secluded cultivation in the cave. Other than the four Demon Kings, everyone else present was from the Li Fire lineage.
He immediately sent a secret message to Mo Wen Tian, "Yi Lingfeng originally took his mother's surname, Shi. Later on, he returned to the sect."
After hearing this, Mo Wen Tian's eyes flashed. He knew that there was something fishy about this. The Yuanying cultivators of the Thousand Spirit Sect had also heard about it. Now that he saw Yi Tian's confident look, he could not help but sigh, "Since the sect leader has already planted spies in the Thousand Spirit Sect, then go ahead and do it. How do you want us to cooperate?"
"Divide and conquer." Yi Tian took out a few jade slips and handed them to Mo Wen Tian, "Senior, please send people to deliver these jade slips to the various sects in the Middle State. Mainly the Hehuan Sect, Wisdom Temple, Ci Hang Jing Mosque, Northern Plains Ice Palace, and other first-rate sects."
"What about the day you reach the sect? Could it be that you have thought of how to deal with Yu Xiang? "Scarlet Sun asked after hearing this.
In fact, he had made a lot of contributions to the various sects in the Middle State for so many years. However, he did not have much interaction with the Tiandao Sect. The few times he had met Yu Xiang and Du Ziheng, he did not have much to talk to them.
However, Yi Tian knew that he had to deal with the relationship with the Tiandao Sect well. This time, other than the Thousand Spirit Sect, he had to free up his hands to deal with this matter properly.
After thinking for a while, he replied, "I will personally deal with the Tiandao Sect. Senior, please contact the other sects."
After saying this, he took out another jade slip and handed it to Scarlet Sun, "Senior, please go to the Western Wilderness and bring the Kuiyin Faction back. Four hundred years ago, I had an agreement with the sect leader of the Kuiyin Faction. When the Mythical Fire rises again, I will definitely not forget them."
Scarlet Sun's expression changed as he replied, "I didn't expect to see the return of the Kuiyin Faction in my lifetime. The heavens have really treated me well. I just don't know where they are now in the Western Wilderness?"
"Cha Nu Sect," Yi Tian replied.
