"Disciple Yun Fan requests an audience with the Patriarch!"
Not long after, Yun Fan arrived in front of an independent cave abode in the depths of the forbidden area and cupped his fists.
"Come in!"
He had heard this old voice in the secret realm, so he was not unfamiliar with it. Yun Fan stepped directly into the cave abode.
An old man with a withered face was sitting in the cave abode.
It was the Fire Spirit Patriarch, Cang Lie.
"Yun Fan, the rewards for the inner sect season should have been given by the Sect Master, Mo Qiandai, but do you know why I want to give it to you personally?"
Yun Fan did not expect the Patriarch to ask him this question and could not help but be stunned.
Before Yun Fan could speak, Cang Lie continued, "Firstly, it's to highlight the great contributions you've made to the Fire Spirit Sect and the entire Primordial Chaos Continent. Secondly … "
Cang Lie paused, but Yun Fan still listened carefully.
"Secondly, I plan to give you a secret mission. I wonder if you're willing to accept it?"
"Huh?"
Yun Fan was completely stunned. He did not know what the Fire Spirit Patriarch was up to.
Cang Lie sighed and continued as if he was talking to himself.
"More than a month ago, I received a report from a spy that the three major families of the South Flame Continent are about to rebel!"
Yun Fan raised his eyebrows.
All the families in the South Flame Continent were attached to the Fire Spirit Sect. Among these families, there were three that were at the top.
They were the Nangong family, the Han family, and the Nie family.
Could it be that they dared to go against the Fire Spirit Sect?
Cang Lie said, "These three families are very powerful and can even compete with the Fire Spirit Sect. They seem to be attached to the Fire Spirit Sect on the surface, but in fact, they have formed their own factions. It has been many years since they paid tribute to the Fire Spirit Sect.
"However, I rarely pay attention to these trivial matters. But this time is different. I received a secret report that some people in the three families have begun to form an organization and secretly plan a war to destroy the sect. They want to overthrow the Fire Spirit Sect and replace it! "
"What benefits can they get by doing this?"
Yun Fan was puzzled.
The cultivation resources of the three great clans were no less than that of the Fire Spirit Sect. Why did they have to replace the Fire Spirit Sect?
Cang Lie glanced at Yun Fan and said, "The current you is qualified to know some things. Allow me to explain them to you."
"If a cultivator wants to raise his cultivation level, he must use a large amount of resources as well as higher level cultivation techniques. The higher the level, the stricter the requirements for these two things."
"Below the Four Symbols Stage, there's nothing much. Above the Four Symbols Stage, other than the huge increase in resources required, it also requires a higher level cultivation technique to assist."
As he spoke, he looked at Xiang Yunfan and said, "If this old man didn't guess wrongly, your cultivation method is at least at the low level of the Earth Rank, right?"
Yun Fan's heart skipped a beat when he heard that. He did not expect the Fire Spirit Ancestor to be able to tell the level of his cultivation method.
Cang Lie smiled faintly and said, "Don't be nervous. The reason this old man knows is that only by cultivating a cultivation method above the Earth Rank can one break through to the Four Symbols Stage. If your cultivation method is below the Earth Rank, you won't be able to step into the Four Symbols Stage even if you have the spirit of the Four Symbols!"
Yun Fan suddenly understood. Fortunately, his Burning Technique had already devoured the Three Thousand Flames Spirit Fire and advanced to the middle level of the Earth Rank. Otherwise, even if he refined the spirit of the Vermilion Bird, he would not be able to step into the Four Symbols Stage.
Cang Lie continued, "The Yin-Yang Stage above the Four Symbols Stage requires a cultivation method that is at least at the high level of the Earth Rank. As for the Celestial Stage, one needs to cultivate a Heaven Rank cultivation method!"
"Heaven Rank cultivation method!"
Yun Fan was shocked. He did not expect that there would be a cultivation method requirement to raise one's cultivation level.
"That's right!"
Cang Lie nodded and said, "Only the upper level sects have a Heaven Rank cultivation method. As a subsidiary sect, only the Ancestor and the Grand Elder are qualified to go to the upper level sects every five years and borrow it for ten days. As for how much you can understand, it depends on your own ability."
"It turns out that a Heaven Rank cultivation method is so rare …"
Yun Fan sighed.
At the same time, he was secretly glad that he had the Xuanhuan Reading System. As long as he continued to devour the Mystical Fire, his Burning Technique would be able to advance to the Heaven Rank sooner or later!
Cang Lie sighed and continued, "This is the suppression of the subsidiary sects by the upper level sects. This old man has been practicing for decades and has just stepped into the Celestial Stage!"
"However, there is still some hope. Once you step into the Celestial Stage, you will be considered to have stepped into the ranks of the strong in the Primal Chaos Continent. You can dominate a region and fight for more resources.
The Ancestor and the Elders of the independent clans do not have such treatment! A Heaven Rank cultivation method is something that can only be chanced upon but not sought. Therefore, their cultivation level will forever be stuck at the Yin-Yang Stage and will not improve much! "
"And those ambitious clans will definitely not be willing to remain silent like this. When their strength accumulates to a certain extent, it will be time for them to take action!"
Yun Fan continued, "So, they plan to replace the Fire Spirit Sect and become a subsidiary sect of the upper level sects to fight for the opportunity to step into the Celestial Stage?"
"That's right!"
Cang Lie nodded indifferently. Then, he looked at Yun Fan with bright eyes and said, "I need someone to help me find out who's behind the rebellion. That way, I'll be able to suppress that person with lightning speed and use him as a warning to the rest.
Otherwise, if this old man acts rashly, it will only make the three major clans feel that they are intimately interdependent. Then, it will be difficult to deal with them! "
"Why did you choose me?"
Yun Fan asked with a frown. This kind of thing was really a little troublesome.
"Because you are clean!"
Cang Lie stared at Yun Fan and said, "You were born as a servant, and your connections are not among the four peaks. The three major clans have many spies in the other four peaks, so they will definitely alert the enemy! Therefore, this old man is most at ease with choosing you! "
Yun Fan rubbed between his eyebrows and said, "I can also choose to refuse, right?"
"Of course you can, but …"
Cang Lie laughed deeply. "You may not have the chance to see Su Mengqi again in the future!"
Boom!
Hearing this, Yun Fan's face suddenly darkened.
"Are you threatening me?"
There was no trace of emotion in Yun Fan's voice.
He hated being threatened the most. Even if the other party was a half-step Celestial Being, he was not afraid at all!
Someone as powerful as Devil Lord was killed by him. How could he be afraid of a half-step Celestial Being?
He still had the inheritance of the Nie clan's ancestor in his body, as well as 30% of Devil Lord's demonic aura in the ancient temple. Once he self-detonated, even a real Celestial Being would die.
Cang Lie couldn't help but laugh when he saw Yun Fan's baleful aura. He couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. Perhaps it was this unruly temperament that created Yun Fan, who was unwilling to be mediocre.
"Don't misunderstand. What I mean is that with your current strength and status, it will be difficult for you to be together with Su Mengqi in the future … Don't say that you don't like her. This old man knows that you call her 'Master's wife' every day …"
"Uh …"
Having his thoughts exposed, Yun Fan felt a little embarrassed.
"If you are willing to accept this mission, this old man will go against all opinions and confer you the title of 'Fire Spirit Saint' after it's done! Moreover, one-tenth of the treasures of the traitorous clan will be yours!
"With such status and resources, you will have a chance to win the heart of the beauty!
"This is not a threat, but a fair deal!
"Now, tell me …" Cang Lie smiled. "Are you willing or not?"
