The Thousand Spirit Sect's Succession Ceremony was still going on in an orderly manner. Although it was interrupted halfway by Yu Xiang of the Sky Supreme Sect, the Thousand Spirit Abyss displayed his invincible might in front of everyone and suppressed Yu Xiang with his incomparable strength.
Although the two of them had only exchanged a single blow, the fear in the eyes of the Nascent Soul cultivators was clear proof that the two of them were worthy of their reputations.
When everyone's faces were filled with respect, only the He Huan Sect's Hao Ji was smiling. However, when she looked at the Thousand Spirit Abyss, her eyes revealed a bit of admiration.
When they arrived at the main hall, the Thousand Spirit Abyss didn't say much. He told Shi Ningjun to receive everyone and left early.
However, when he walked past Hao Ji, he heard a private voice transmission, "Fellow cultivator's Buddhist cultivation method is not bad. You are on par with an old friend of mine."
Yi Tian's heart shook when he heard this. He thought, "She still found out. This woman is so hard to deal with. To be safe, I'll deal with her by remaining unchanged."
After a while, he only let out a cold snort and walked towards the back of the palace without saying anything. After a few steps, he heard Hao Ji's voice transmission, "Fellow cultivator, are you going to chase after Yu Xiang?"
Yi Tian was really convinced. His thoughts were guessed correctly by Hao Ji. When they exchanged moves in the sky, Yu Xiang had probably recognized him as the fake Thousand Spirit Abyss. The reason why he left in such a hurry was because he was afraid of facing such a terrifying opponent.
At this moment, he really wanted to chase after him and spar with him again. It wasn't easy to find such an opportunity. If he could restrain him, the Heavenly Dao Sect would be nothing to worry about.
However, Hao Ji had to interrupt him at this moment. Fortunately, the people from before were still alive, so she didn't dare to go too far.
Yi Tian snorted coldly and left the main hall with quick steps.
Once he left, Yi Tian's figure flashed and teleported into the sky. He then released his Divine Sense to search for Yu Xiang.
After being delayed for a while in the hall below, Yu Xiang should have gone far away by now.
After three breaths of time, he raised his brow and revealed a gratified expression. Fortunately, his Divine Sense had become stronger after his cultivation level increased. He found Yu Xiang, who was flying at a high speed, at the edge of his spiritual will, about nine hundred miles away.
Although the distance between the two of them was a little far, as long as he used his Divine Sense to lock onto him, it would only be a matter of time before he caught up with him.
Immediately after, Yi Tian's spirit force surged and a green light wrapped around him. His figure flashed a few times in the air and flew hundreds of miles away.
When the distance between the two of them was about 500 to 600 kilometres, Yu Xiang suddenly seemed to have noticed his pursuers. He abruptly increased his speed by 30%.
Yi Tian sensed that his whereabouts had been exposed. Fortunately, he no longer tried to be secretive. He stretched out his hand and formed a hand seal in front of his chest. In an instant, a whistling sound of wind appeared and enveloped Yi Tian. After using the Wind Escape Technique, his speed had doubled. He was now much faster than Yu Xiang. At this rate, he would be able to catch up to Yu Xiang in less than two hours.
Just when Yi Tian thought that there was no suspense, Yu Xiang suddenly changed direction. Originally, he was heading in the direction of the Heavenly Dao Sect. Now, it seemed that he would be intercepted before he could even reach the sect.
If that was the case, it would be a good idea to change locations. After Yi Tian sensed his movements, his brows slightly wrinkled. This was because the direction Yu Xiang was fleeing in was precisely the direction of the Sanskrit Temple.
It could be assumed that he was familiar with Abbot Wuyin. As such, he was looking for reinforcements. Unfortunately, Yu Xiang didn't expect that his relationship with the Sanskrit Temple was even closer than he had imagined.
Unfortunately, with Abbot Wuyin present, they couldn't fight. However, as long as he exerted a bit of pressure, he would be able to keep Yu Xiang busy for a while.
After thinking about this, Yi Tian didn't say anything else and directly turned around to chase after Sanskrit Temple.
Just like this, the two of them chased in the air. However, the distance between them was quickly shrinking. He feared that he would catch up to Yu Xiang before he even reached the Ganruo Temple.
However, this was just this thought. Which late stage Yuanying cultivator didn't have their own unique skills? They wouldn't use them unless they had no other choice.
With a thought, Yi Tian suddenly discovered that his speed had increased by quite a bit. Even though he was still slower than himself, the distance between the two of them wasn't quickly shrinking like before.
He estimated that if this continued, he would be able to escape into the range of the Sanskrit Temple. Yi Tian didn't want to directly rush into the Sanskrit Temple and fight with Yu Xiang. If Abbot Wuyin discovered this, it would be hard for him to escape the blame.
After thinking about this, he didn't deliberately increase his speed, instead closely chasing after him while continuously exerting pressure on Yu Xiang.
Four hours later, Yi Tian flew through the air. After using an eye technique, he was able to see Yu Xiang's figure a hundred li away. However, at the same time, he saw a streak of heaven soaring golden buddhist light rush into the clouds from the distant valley.
Needless to say, the Sanskrit Temple was right in front of him. While muttering to himself, Yu Xiang suddenly sped up as if he was injected with chicken blood. Soon after, he rushed into the range of the Sanskrit Temple.
Perhaps Yu Xiang underestimated Yi Tian's determination. Soon after, a streak of green light arrived at the edge of the Sanskrit Temple's great sect protecting formation. Without even thinking about it, he directly rushed in.
Two streaks of heaven soaring golden light shot out from the valley where the Sanskrit Temple was located. Soon after, two figures flew out, directly blocking Yi Tian's path.
Together with Yu Xiang, the three powerful cultivators surrounded the green light from the left, middle, and right.
When the green spiritual light slowly retreated, Yi Tian's figure was revealed. At the same time, two monks dressed in kasaya appeared from the two streaks of golden light. After a moment, they both said at the same time, "Benefactor Yi, it has been many years since we last met. Your cultivation has improved to this extent, truly worthy of celebration."
From their voices, it was precisely Sanskrit Temple's Abbot Wuyin and Great Master Wuchen. Yi Tian didn't dare be negligent. He hurriedly cupped his fists and returned the greeting, saying, "This one has taken the liberty to disturb the two great masters' peaceful cultivation, truly sinful."
At this time, Yu Xiang's expression became extremely ugly. He continuously swept his divine sense over Yi Tian's body, as if he was investigating something. However, his mouth continuously snorted coldly. From time to time, he would privately transmit sound to Wu Yin and Wu Chen.
Even after hearing Yu Xiang's explanation, Abbot Wu Yin's face didn't reveal any joy or anger. He only extended his hand and made an inviting gesture, saying, "I'll have to trouble the two of you to come to my humble temple's main hall to discuss in detail. This old monk can also act as a host."
Yi Tian had an indifferent expression. After sweeping his gaze around, he directly replied, "Then this one will have to disturb you. Great masters, please."
"Sect Master Yi is a straightforward person. As expected, you are a straightforward person." Abbot Wu Yin's face revealed a trace of a smile. Then, he turned around and said to Yu Xiang, "Then, Sect Master Yu, please come with us."
"This …" When Yu Xiang heard this, he was immediately stunned. Originally, he wanted to borrow this opportunity to deal with the pursuers, but now, even he was involved. Fortunately, Sanskrit Temple's reputation was illustrious. With them present, the other party wouldn't decisively make a move.
Gritting his teeth, Yu Xiang nodded and replied, "Then this one will also have to trouble the two great masters."
Shaoqing's group of four slowly descended from the cloud, directly entering Sanskrit Temple's main hall. When the four of them sat down, Abbot Wu Yin directly opened a sound isolation barrier, sealing off the entire main hall.
After a while, he turned around and asked, "The two of you have barged into my Sanskrit Temple's territory. You should at least give us an explanation."
Without waiting for Yu Xiang to speak, Yi Tian spoke first, "This one only followed fellow Yu here by mistake. The cause is him. If Abbot Wu Yin has any questions, you can ask him."
When Yu Xiang heard this, a trace of anger appeared on his face. After three breaths, he calmed down and slowly said, "In front of Brother Yi, this one's skills are indeed inferior. However, fellow Daoist doesn't have to be so ruthless."
On the side, Great Master Wu Chen actually spoke, "I have known Brother Yi for a long time. I know his temperament as a person. He definitely wouldn't do something like adding insult to injury. Fellow Daoist Yu, I fear you are being too serious."
Seeing that Abbot Wu Yin was clearly siding with the other party, Yu Xiang said angrily, "Brother Yi, what is your intention in disguising yourself as Thousand Spirit Abyss? If I didn't guess incorrectly, the real Thousand Spirit Abyss should have already fallen by your hands, right? "
Yi Tian laughed for no reason. Then, he directly replied, "That's right. Thousand Spirit Abyss indeed died by my hands. As for the Thousand Spirit Sect's succession ceremony, it was also planned by me. It was for the sake of maintaining the current situation of the Thousand Spirit Sect. "
When Abbot Wu Yin and the others heard this, their faces immediately revealed expressions of shock. They looked at Yi Tian in disbelief. After a while, Great Master Wu Chen asked, "Since things have come to this, I would like to hear Brother Yi's explanation. This one believes that you definitely wouldn't kill Thousand Spirit Abyss for no reason and leave his orthodoxy behind."
It was because Great Master Wu Chen knew him very well. Both parties had already formed a certain level of tacit understanding after working together twice in the past. Hence, when Yi Tian admitted it, Great Master Wu Chen went straight to the root of the problem and raised his doubts.
After sorting out his thoughts, Yi Tian directly took out the three tokens of the Li Fire Sect and showed them to the three of them. Then, he revealed his true identity.
Great Masters Wu Yin and Wu Chen were unperturbed. Yi Tian knew that they must have received the jade scroll from the Eastern Ao Li Fire Sect and met Mo Wen Tian.
As for Yu Xiang, he had a look of disbelief on his face. However, he muttered, "Then why did you kill Thousand Spirit Abyss?"
"How can I ignore the sect's mortal enemy? Even if it's a possessed avatar, I can't let it go so easily." Yi Tian smiled and said disdainfully, "My sect was lenient and only killed the culprit. Furthermore, I didn't destroy his orthodoxy. Instead, I allowed it to continue existing in the Central State."
After saying that, he briefly described the fall of the Li Fire Sect and the descent of the mighty figures from the upper realm, Luo Que and Qian Lingzi. Finally, he described the situation of him and He Weiming joining forces to deal with the two of them. However, he left out the key parts.
But even so, it still left the three people present dumbfounded. It turned out that the Thousand Spirits Sect's old Nascent Soul stage cultivator, He Weiming, had disappeared without a trace. In addition, the Thousand Spirits Abyss had been beheaded. As a result, the number one cultivation sect in the Middle Continent was now an empty shell.
Abbot Wu Yin clasped his hands together and chanted a Buddhist proclamation before saying, "Even so, what Sect Master Yi did was reasonable."
Grandmaster Wu Chen nodded in agreement by the side. However, he kept saying, "If revenge breeds revenge, will there ever be an end to it? Sect Master Yi has settled this matter properly. In comparison, the revival of the Li Fire Sect should not be met with much opposition."
Upon saying this, Yu Xiang's expression turned extremely ugly. In terms of strength, only his Tian Dao Sect could be considered comparable to the Li Fire Sect.
However, after exchanging blows with Yi Tian, Yu Xiang knew that he was definitely not the person in front of him's match. Furthermore, when they fought in the Thousand Spirit Sect, Yi Tian did not even reveal his true strength. He easily won and even Thousand Spirit Abyss died at his hands. Yu Xiang was immediately filled with regret. If he had known this would happen, he would have built a good relationship with this person.
On the other hand, the revival of the Li Fire Sect was inevitable. Even a faction like the Wisdom Temple was happy to see it happen, so the other sects would definitely look forward to it. At the very least, there would not be any opposition.
Only now did Yu Xiang realize that Yi Tian was definitely a powerful figure. He had effortlessly allowed the Li Fire Sect to gain a foothold in the Central State. Furthermore, sects like the Thousand Spirit Sect and the Wisdom Temple would definitely jump out to express their stance. Then, the revival of the Li Fire Sect would become unstoppable.
And the only two sects that had a say in the Central State were the Hehuan Sect and his Tian Dao Sect. The Hehuan Sect's Old Demon Hehuan did not care about worldly affairs, so most of the authority was left to Hao Ji. This woman was also temperamental and did not play by the rules. Previously, when they fought, Yu Xiang had noticed Hao Ji's figure among the cultivators below.
The Hehuan Sect could not be counted on. Now, only his own sect had yet to express their stance. It was likely that Yi Tian had other plans in mind when he caught up.
If Yu Xiang did not give an explanation today, it was likely that Yi Tian would not be easy to deal with. Yu Xiang, who had yet to express his stance, had his own plans. If that happened, his Tian Dao Sect would definitely become a thorn in the side of the Li Fire Sect.
Choosing the lesser of two evils, Yu Xiang clearly made some calculations in his heart before he turned around and asked, "May I ask what plans does Sect Master Yi have after reviving the Li Fire Sect?"
This was a question that hit the nail on the head. Yi Tian put away his frivolous look and said solemnly, "Do the few of you know of the legend of Soul Formation and the mystery of ascension?"
A glint flashed in Wu Yin's eyes. After exchanging signals with his junior brother, he asked, "This old monk heard that the Li Fire Sect controlled this realm's Ascension Platform. If one wanted to reach the upper spiritual realm, they had to use this passageway. If one were to rashly use a spatial rift to forcefully ascend, the success rate would be less than 10%. "
"Abbot Wu Yin's words are reasonable. I wonder what Daoist Yu's thoughts are?" Yi Tian asked in return.
Indeed, Yu Xiang was shocked by the words in front of him. His Tian Dao Sect also had records of this world. An existence like the Ascension Platform would definitely be recorded in the records.
In the blink of an eye, Yu Xiang looked at Yi Tian's arrogant face. His heart was bleeding. Needless to say, the person in front of him was the abacus of the ascension platform. It was too tempting. Once it was created, it would definitely cause a stir in the Tian Lan continent. Those itinerant cultivators who lived in seclusion would definitely seek refuge with the Li Fire Sect. And any cultivator who had a sliver of hope of ascension would use this opportunity to get close to the Li Fire Sect.
Upon seeing this, Yi Tian said directly, "I plan to work with the various large sects to create this ascension platform. It can be considered as contributing to the Tian Lan continent's cultivation world."
