The representatives of the various large sects in the Purple Firmament Palace expressed their agreement. After that, Yi Tian divided the materials needed to build the ascension platform into more than ten portions, and each sect would receive a portion.
After arranging the collection of these materials, everyone dispersed and went back to collect the materials. Each collection of materials was limited to ten years, and each sect had to pay at least one-tenth of the allocated amount.
The entire project was estimated to take a hundred years, and after it was completed, Yi Tian would personally guard the place. As such, the representatives of the various large sects were satisfied with this arrangement. If it was someone else guarding the place, they might not be able to trust him.
At the same time, Yi Tian arranged the construction work on the spot. Du Ziheng, as an array master, was in charge of supervising the various cultivators and integrating the array patterns of the array components. Li Fire Sect's Weapon Pavilion's first seat, Huo Chilian, was in charge of refining the various components of the ascension platform's array. The disciples of the Weapon Pavilion also needed to apply for various auxiliary tasks.
Yi Tian himself went into seclusion and focused on refining the Six Paths Boundary Wheel. This was the main component that connected the Upper Spiritual Nine Realms, so it was best to leave it to him.
The other large sects would also send Jin Dan refiners above the fifth rank to participate in the construction work, and they would listen to Huo Chilian's arrangements. This way, no one would be left out if they had the money and strength to contribute.
Everyone was satisfied with the distribution of work. After all, the project was massive, and if it was undertaken by one sect alone, it would definitely be difficult to predict its strength. Gathering the manpower and material resources of the various sects could make up for their weaknesses.
After the discussion, the cultivators of the various large sects bid farewell and hurriedly brought the news back to their sects. It was likely that the late-stage Yuanying cultivators behind the scenes were still looking forward to this.
With Yi Tian's promise, they would probably think of ways to go into seclusion and cultivate, so that they could break through the natural chasm and reach the Soul Formation realm as soon as possible.
After the guests left, Yi Tian swept his gaze across the many Li Fire Sect disciples present. Only Master Chi Yang was absent. After asking a little, he found out that Master Chi Yang knew that he did not have much time left. In recent years, he had been running around and exhausting himself. Now that he felt that he was nearing the end of his lifespan, he was in seclusion in a cave residence in the back of the mountain.
Upon hearing this, Yi Tian revealed a trace of desolation on his face. He thought about how Daoist Scarlet Sun had taken care of him all this while, which was why he was able to achieve what he had today. Now that he was nearing the end of his lifespan, it was fortunate that he had rushed back to the sect. Once this matter was settled, he would definitely pay him a visit.
Mo Wen Tian opened his mouth and said, "Sect Leader, you've been running all over the place all these years, contacting various powers to work together to build the Ascension Platform. It has indeed been tough on you. Junior brother Chi Yang had experienced a thousand years of calamity, and had witnessed the Li Fire Sect's rise from decline to prosperity, so he would definitely be satisfied. It's a pity that he suffered from the three parts of Xuan Yang back then. After that, he suffered for a thousand years. He's really at the end of his rope. Others can't help him even if they want to. "
"Senior Apprentice Brother Mo's words are understandable. Senior Apprentice Brother Chi Yang has been assisting me all this while and has contributed greatly. His greatest wish was to see the Li Fire Sect rise again. Now, his wish has been fulfilled. "Yi Tian said with a sigh.
Qu Yifeng hurriedly went forward and said, "Sect Leader Senior Apprentice Brother, please don't feel any regret. Patriarch Chi Yang once told me that the best thing he did in his life was to accept you into the sect. Some trivial matters are inevitable. Besides, Senior Apprentice Brother can still meet him one last time. At the same time, it will fulfill his wish. "
Upon hearing this, Yi Tian's face revealed a look of desolation. Following that, after arranging the matters at hand, he waved his hand to signal for everyone to leave. After a while, he turned around and slowly walked out of the Purple Firmament Hall's back door, flying towards the forbidden grounds in the back mountains.
The hinterland of the Li Fire Sect was about a few thousand miles. The area designated as the forbidden grounds of the sect spanned about four to five hundred miles. It was equivalent to the area of influence of those central sects.
Yi Tian flew in the air for less than half an hour before he found the cave abode Chi Yang was living in, following the directions of the forbidden grounds.
When he came to the entrance of the cave, he saw a golden seal flickering. Immediately, he stood outside the seal and shouted, "Senior Apprentice Chi Yang, I'm back. Please open the door for a chat."
Just as he said that, the golden seal cracked open, revealing a hole about three feet wide. From within, Chi Yang's voice could be heard, "Sect Leader Junior Apprentice Brother, you're here. Quick, come in. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
After entering the seal through the crack, the cave door slowly opened. Yi Tian did not stand on ceremony as he strode in. After a while, the seal slowly closed, and the cave door automatically closed.
Chi Yang's cave abode could be considered extremely simple. There were no additional decorations along the way. There were no spiritual plants planted around it.
When he walked deep into the cave abode, he saw a spiritual spring in the middle. From it, there was spring water with rich spiritual energy. After it gathered into a pool, it slowly flowed out of the cave abode from a corner.
Chi Yang was sitting cross-legged beside the pool. However, the aura around him was intermittent, and it looked like it would not last for more than a few years. He stared at Yi Tian for a while before saying, "Junior Apprentice Brother, you've worked hard to mediate with the various large sects. I believe this Ascension Platform can be built according to plan."
Yi Tian walked forward and extended his hands to bow. Then, he slowly sat down in front of Chi Yang before saying, "Senior Apprentice Chi Yang, you flatter me. I'm just doing what I should do. After the Li Fire Sect's revival, the Ascension Platform's construction is imperative. "
"I know. Back then, the Li Fire Patriarch was able to dominate this world more or less because he controlled the Ascension Platform. However, he was able to convince people with his strength back then. Many cultivators in this world did not hesitate to go bankrupt in order to ascend. "Chi Yang said with a smug look.
"Junior Apprentice Brother has never heard of this." Yi Tian said with a look of doubt, "Using strength to convince people is a hegemon. However, in less than a thousand years, there will definitely be trouble."
Chi Yang nodded and extended his hand to stop Yi Tian from speaking. Following that, he said in an aged tone, "Even someone as strong as the Li Fire Patriarch would lose to the Heavenly Dao, what more others. However, Yi Tian, I did not misjudge you. The Way of the King that you walk can ensure that my Li Fire Sect can continue on for a long time. "
Yi Tian blushed and said slowly, "Senior Apprentice Brother, you flatter me. Junior Apprentice Brother is only doing his best. It's up to Heaven's will."
Chi Yang said with a smile, "You've already done a good job in official matters. However, you're still careless when it comes to private matters. Thankfully, I still have some face to help you out. "
Yi Tian was stunned when he heard that. He secretly wondered how Chi Yang knew about his private matters. Furthermore, he did not know what it was. Immediately, he asked humbly, "I don't know what Senior Apprentice Brother is referring to. I really don't know."
"Yi Lingfeng has quite a deep relationship with you, right? Don't tell me you don't know him." Chi Yang said as he stroked his beard.
"He's my descendant." Yi Tian knew that he could not hide this matter, so he openly admitted it.
"Although Senior Apprentice Brother Mo has never said it explicitly, even I can tell, much less that meticulous wife of yours, Liu Piaopao." Chi Yang said with deep meaning.
