Walking on the streets of Luo Xia City, Yi Tian was holding a map jade slip in his hand, and he was looking for the contact point of the Ascension Union according to the instructions on it.
Previously, after hearing Mi Jun's introduction in his mansion, the idea of going there to investigate grew in his heart. In the end, he exchanged the saber for 350 merit points, then he asked for a token of the Ascension Union and left in a hurry.
Mi Jun had a good impression of him, and he even suggested that if he had any needs in the future, please don't refuse. Of course, Yi Tian wouldn't reject it directly. He was more than happy to leave this path open for him to secretly sell his goods.
Moreover, Mi Jun also promised Li Baoxiao that he would keep his mouth shut and cover up his identity as a forger. In the end, Mi Jun also left a jade slip for him, saying that it was just about a private matter. If he had time, he could take a look at it. Maybe there would be trouble in the future.
After Yi Tian put it away, he didn't check it immediately. Instead, he wanted to report to the Ascension Union first and find someone to get familiar with.
Not long after, he found the only contact point of the Ascension Union in Luo Xia City with the guidance of the map.
Looking at the three big words' Tai Xing Restaurant 'in front of him, he muttered in his heart. Is this really the contact point of the Ascension Union? Why does it look like an ordinary restaurant?
Walking forward, the waiter at the entrance came to receive him. Yi Tian didn't say much and directly asked to go to the top floor to take a look. The child sized them up with a face full of surprise, then silently led the way in front.
The whole restaurant had eight floors. From the bottom to the top, there were many cultivators drinking and discussing things on the seventh floor. It was like the mortal world. It wasn't until he stepped on the top floor that he saw only a table of cultivators in their fifties by the window.
The waiter just said, "Honorable guest, please help yourself. The shopkeeper will personally receive you in a while." Then he went downstairs.
Seeing this, Yi Tian lightly shook his head, not knowing what to do next. He just followed Mi Jun's advice to go to Taixing Restaurant to find the Ascension Alliance, and the Ascension Alliance had requested to go to the top floor.
Just as he was thinking, the fifty year old cultivator sitting by the window stood up and bowed to him, "I'm the shopkeeper of Tai Xing Restaurant, Chen Taixing. Greetings, Brother Yi."
Yi Tian was stunned. His expression changed as he asked, "How do you know my surname? Did Mi Jun tell you? "
"Brother Yi, you've underestimated the information channels of the Ascension Alliance. You've been serving in the 27th squad of the Inspection Department since you ascended last year," Chen Taixing said with a knowing look, "However, it's indeed beyond my expectations that you could come to me so quickly."
"How unexpected?" Yi Tian asked hurriedly.
"Fellow Daoist, please come over and have a seat first. I'll tell you about it later," Chen Taixing replied with a smile.
Yi Tian also knew that it was a bit awkward to talk like this, so he hurriedly walked forward and sat down opposite Chen Taixing. Then he asked, "So, Shopkeeper Chen already knew about my arrival."
Chen Taixing nodded and said, "Actually, I received the news on the third day since fellow Daoist came to the Spiritual Realm. However, due to the private agreement between the Ascension Alliance and the three major sects, I couldn't take the initiative to contact you."
"What do you mean?" Yi Tian was puzzled.
Chen Taixing sighed and said, "Actually, the Ascension Alliance cultivators are all proud people. How can they enter the three major sects casually? But these people are all elites. If they can be accepted into the sect, they will definitely shine in the sect in the future. Therefore, the three major sects and the Ascension Alliance have an unwritten rule that we can't take the initiative to look for you. Moreover, the Ascension Alliance cultivators can't stop them if they want to leave the Ascension Alliance and join the three major sects. "
Yi Tian immediately understood the Ascension Alliance's situation. It was indeed very difficult for them to gain a foothold in the Spiritual Realm. The most important spirit veins and blessed lands were all controlled by the three major sects, so the Ascension Alliance's headquarters wasn't necessarily a high-grade blessed land. Furthermore, cultivation resources were lacking, so it wouldn't be difficult for the Ascension Alliance cultivators to make a name for themselves in the Spiritual Realm.
Thus, Chen Taixing didn't say much and directly took out a map and pointed to a remote and desolate area. "The Ascension Alliance's headquarters is located in the most chaotic region of the Spiritual Realm, the Blacktide Region. That place is now called Thunderbolt Island, but outsiders call it the Ascension Holy Region. There are currently three Body Integration cultivators overseeing it."
"Three Body Integration cultivators," Yi Tian repeated, but his eyes were filled with disappointment. He didn't think that the Ascension Alliance would only have three Body Integration cultivators. As for Grand Ascension Stage cultivators, they didn't even have a single Grand Ascension Stage cultivator.
One had to know that Patriarch Wu Ye had mentioned that Sect Master Ji Xuanyuan had several Body Integration cultivators by his side in the Lifire Palace. Just based on this, the Thunderbolt Island's strength was nothing. Furthermore, the Body Integration cultivators of the other two sects could easily crush the Ascension Holy Region. He really didn't know where they got their pride from.
With that in mind, a worried expression appeared on his face. "I wonder if the three island lords of the Thunderbolt Island are on good terms with the three major sects. You have to know that the three major sects are still the ones holding up the fort in the Spiritual Realm."
Chen Taixing smiled. "Brother Yi, you don't have to worry about that. The three island lords have always been in contact with the Grand Ascension Stage cultivators of the Lifire Palace. They only established the Thunderbolt Island after receiving orders from the Lifire Palace."
Another Grand Ascension Stage cultivator from the Lifire Palace. Yi Tian's heart stirred. He didn't know if it was Patriarch Wu Ye or the current one. He immediately asked, "When did the three island lords establish the Thunderbolt Island?"
"A few hundred years after the Devil Race's invasion. Back then, only two Body Integration cultivators participated in that battle. After the battle, they were able to receive orders from the Lifire Palace because of their contributions. "Chen Taixing pondered for a moment before replying.
"I see. I believe the two seniors must have provided great assistance back then. That's why we ascended cultivators were able to obtain some space to rest and recuperate. We juniors are truly ashamed." Yi Tian sighed. However, he thought that the ascended cultivators might be the helpers that Patriarch Wu Ye mentioned.
If that was the case, he definitely couldn't join them. That person from the Lifire Palace would definitely not relax his surveillance of the Thunderbolt Island. If he joined them, he would quickly enter Ji Xuanyuan's line of sight. That would be a great disadvantage.
With this thought in mind, the rest of the conversation with Chen Taixing was basically just an excuse. As for the other party's suggestion of inviting him to join Thunderbolt Island, Yi Tian directly rejected it. Furthermore, he expressed his intention to join the Taiqing Pavilion. The reason was very simple. He wanted to pursue the Dao wholeheartedly. It was better for him to join a major sect.
Two hours later, Yi Tian bade farewell and rushed back to his cave residence after exiting Tai Xing Restaurant. Little did he know that Mi Jun was currently in Hong Fei's residence, reporting Yi Tian's visit.
