Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

"This matter is very strange!"

In the main commander's camp, after the Golden Dharma King spoke about the Divine Sect Decree, Chai Laoqi was the first to speak, "Why do these five old fellows not want the two Divine Grace Envoys to enter the main altar? It's understandable that the Right Divine Envoy and the White Dharma King are worried that the Divine Grace Envoys will heal Lord Candle Dragon and disagree with them entering the valley. But why would the Left Divine Envoy agree? Most importantly, he actually took the initiative to sign this decree! What exactly is he plotting?"

The Golden Dharma King said, "Looking at it simply, it's very likely that the Right Divine Envoy joined forces with the other three Dharma Kings to force him to sign it. Even if the Left Divine Envoy disagrees, the Right Divine Envoy can still issue this decree with the support of the three Dharma Kings."

"Dharma King, that's possible. However, don't forget that the spies we planted in the main altar can't send out any information at all. Right now, we know nothing about the situation in the valley. This must be the Left Divine Envoy's doing. And now, they've issued such a Divine Sect Decree. No matter how you look at it, it's harboring evil intentions. What it's targeting must still be our side, and it's likely to be the two Divine Grace Envoys."

Fire Crow Taoist stood up and asked, "What Taoist Chai means is, they will agree to let Lord Candle Dragon identify our identities first, and we will be in danger during the identification process?"

Chai Laoqi nodded and said, "That's right. This Divine Sect Decree seems radical, but it's actually a step back to advance. The real killing move may be in the identification stage. If we're identified as imposters, then the two envoys will be finished. If we're identified as genuine, the two envoys will definitely be trapped in the main altar and controlled by others."

The Golden Dharma King raised a hand, somewhat displeased, and said, "According to you, it's better not to go for identification. The two envoys have important missions, how can they not enter the valley and the main altar? Participating in the identification is always better than not participating. As for the results of the identification, I, Lao Jin, am not worried. Lord Candle Dragon is not controlled by anyone. As long as the envoys please it, it will definitely recognize their identities."

"With the identity of Divine Grace Envoys, even if we're trapped in the main altar, no one will dare to offend us. And, most importantly, the Divine Grace Envoys have much more say than the Left and Right Divine Envoys in the matter of the sect leader's succession. At that time, we can act according to circumstances and have a chance of success!"

Then, he turned to Fire Crow Taoist and asked, "Fire Envoy, what do you think?"

Fire Crow Taoist had already discussed it with Zhang Yuanjing through voice transmission, and immediately said, "What the Dharma King said is very true. Vice Envoy Zhang and I also believe that we must enter the main altar and participate in the Nirvana Sacrifice no matter what. As for the matter of Lord Candle Dragon's identification, we are confident that we can handle it."

The new Divine Sect Decree was delivered three days later. The messenger was still Song Xuren, but with him came several important figures: Altar Master Chang Guangming of the Main Altar, Altar Master Gao Hongyi of the Dharma Transmission Altar, and Altar Master Qi Feng of the Zhenyuan Altar. These three respectively represented the Left Divine Envoy, the Right Divine Envoy, and the White Dharma King.

They were all very familiar with the Golden Dharma King and exchanged pleasantries with each other, but only said some irrelevant polite words, without mentioning the current situation at all. In addition, there were two Foundation Establishment Stage Great Perfection demon cultivators, who were representatives of the Azure and Crimson Dharma Kings.

The content of this Divine Sect Decree was as the Golden Dharma King had said: to hold the Divine Grace Envoy identification ceremony immediately, with one person from each of the two Divine Envoys and the four Dharma Kings as witnesses.

The Golden Dharma King didn't know why the other five parties had reached an agreement so quickly, and felt quite uneasy. But the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. He immediately appointed Zhao Shijie, the Altar Master of the Cold Spring Altar, as his representative to go to the main altar with Fire Crow Taoist and Zhang Yuanjing, along with the other five people. Before their identities were confirmed, he and the more than 20,000 elites of the Northern Three Altars behind him were still not allowed to pass through Mirror Lake Pass.

Mirror Lake Pass was extremely dangerous, with five layers of walls, full of traps. If they wanted to attack by force, they would need ten times the casualties to take it down.

After entering the pass, the environment suddenly changed. The turbid air was unusually thick and active. Fire Crow Taoist felt very depressed, and half of his mana had to be used to resist the entanglement of the turbid air, which was quite uncomfortable. Zhang Yuanjing could use the Devouring Technique to refine and absorb the turbid air, so he felt no discomfort.

After passing through a narrow mountain road five miles long, the front suddenly opened up, revealing a valley of several hundred miles in radius. Waterways crisscrossed the valley, and demonic plants grew densely. Relying on the mountain terrain, houses of varying heights were distributed in a scattered but orderly manner, which immediately brightened the eyes of Fire Crow Taoist and Zhang Yuanjing, who were accustomed to seeing barren mountains and deserts, and were also greatly surprised. If this place corresponded to the Daoist sect's terminology, it was truly a top-notch blessed land.

Chang Guangming saw the expressions of the two and said with a smile, "The two Daoists are very surprised, right! Haha! Do you know why the desolate and dead zone is barren, but this place has such dense demonic plants and gurgling water, almost like a fairy scene?"

Fire Crow Taoist slandered in his heart, thinking that it looked like a demon-filled place, not a fairy scene! But he asked faintly, "Oh, why is that?"

Chang Guangming shook his robe lightly, stroked his long beard, and said with some pride, "This is the credit of the successive sect leaders of my Divine Sect. The two have also seen that the turbid air in the mountain road behind is already very thick, but the mountains on both sides are still barren and lifeless. In this valley, the area is wide, and the turbid air should be dispersed, making it even more impossible to nurture so many demonic plants. Why has it formed such a fairy scene instead? Naturally, it relies on the underground turbid air veins and a vast array of formations!"

Fire Crow Taoist raised his white eyebrows and said with some surprise, "The underground is full of formations?"

Chang Guangming laughed loudly, "Taoist Fire is indeed knowledgeable! That's right, this area of hundreds of miles is full of formations underground. Moreover, the closer to the center, the more powerful the formations and the higher the level of the demonic plants. My Divine Sect has not had a Transformation Stage existence for thousands of years, but whether it's the Thousand Sword Sect, the Star Moon Sect, or any other sect, none of them dare to invade this place! Why? It's because of this powerful formation and the dense turbid air. Even Nascent Soul cultivators will be wiped out no matter how many come!"

Fire Crow Taoist chuckled and did not answer. Although this person's tone was loud, if the underground of Candle Shadow Valley was really full of turbid air veins and powerful formations, it was really not a place where one or two Nascent Soul cultivators dared to run wild. Of course, this person said these things, obviously with the intention of knocking on him and Zhang Yuanjing.

Altar Master Gao Hongyi of the Dharma Transmission Altar was a handsome and tall middle-aged man with a cultivation of the Holy Core Stage late stage, and he looked very kind.

Seeing that Fire Crow Taoist was a little unhappy, he quickly interrupted and said, "My Divine Sect has set up formations in this place, and defending against foreign enemies is only one aspect. More importantly, it is to build a foundation for eternal inheritance, so that the disciples can cultivate in peace and ensure that talents emerge in every generation, providing inexhaustible power for spreading the Divine Sect's scriptures."

Fire Crow Taoist nodded and praised, "What Altar Master Gao said is reasonable. I see that the Holy Core Stage figures in the sect are like shining pearls, numerous and each shining with their own light, stronger than most of the great cultivation sects of the Daoist sect. In this Southern Region, comparing only the Holy Core Stage and Core Formation Stage levels, except for a few super sects, it can be compared with the Divine Sect, and the rest are mostly inferior."

During the conversation, the eight people each took out their flying swords and flew towards the center of the valley. Along the way, patrolling guards approached from time to time, following behind the eight people, acting as guards. When passing over the dark and gloomy, boulder-built houses below, devout disciples often flew out from them, asking the guards what was happening. The guards told them the truth. As a result, a large number of disciples also followed behind. Chang Guangming, as the Altar Master of the Main Altar, turned a blind eye to this, or rather, did not care.

After flying for about three hundred miles, a dozen miles ahead, a patch of pitch-black buildings faintly emerged from the lush demonic plants, flashing with a dark luster under the somewhat dim sky.

Zhao Shijie pointed to the buildings and said, "Two Envoys, that is where the Main Altar and the Dharma Transmission Altar are located. In the middle of the Main Altar and the Dharma Transmission Altar is the Holy Hall where the successive sect leaders resided."

Fire Crow Taoist and Zhang Yuanjing nodded slightly, and the two carefully looked around. As the distance decreased, they gradually saw some differences. The overall style of these buildings was square, except for the one in the middle, which was a large square house surrounded by a three-story building with flying eaves and brackets, which should be the Holy Hall where the Candle God Sect leader lived.

To the left of the Holy Hall was eleven square buildings, one large and ten small. The large one was five times larger and five times taller than the others, appearing extremely magnificent, and even more grand than the three-story building where the Holy Hall was located. It was likely the location of the Main Altar, or more precisely, the place where the inherited divine beast was located.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why the house was built larger than the Holy Hall where the sect leader lived. Moreover, on the outer wall of this large building, a black dragon-like totem was carved, while the other buildings did not have this object. This also shows that this building is the residence of the inherited divine beast.

To the right of the Holy Hall were five neat and tall buildings, surrounded by hundreds of zhang-high pavilions, all built with small stones, which looked very conspicuous, but it was unknown what they were used for.

The closer they got to the Holy Hall, the Main Altar, and the Dharma Transmission Altar, the more silent the other six people became, and a look of reverence appeared on their faces.

Zhao Shijie was the same. Although Fire Crow Taoist looked at him several times, intentionally asking him to explain the names of these buildings, Zhao Shijie kept his lips tightly closed and ignored him.

Fire Crow Taoist had no choice but to give up, and became very vigilant in his heart. The foundation of this Candle God Sect was by no means simple. If he made a mistake, he was afraid that the ending would be unpredictable.

"Yuanjing, be careful when you get to the Main Altar. If something is wrong, use the Earth Escape Technique to escape immediately. As long as you can escape, I, Lao Dao, will most likely be able to save my life!" After thinking for a long time, Fire Crow Taoist could not help but transmit a message to Zhang Yuanjing to tell him.

Zhang Yuanjing nodded slightly, "Senior, I will be careful. After entering the Main Altar, it is best if these six people can follow us all the time, otherwise, it is difficult to say what means that Left Divine Envoy will have! The demon cultivators of this Candle God Sect have many strange methods. Once they attack, this junior may not have time to use the Earth Escape Technique. Even if I can successfully hide in the earth, I may not be able to escape."

Fire Crow Taoist said, "I, Lao Dao, also know this. However, when entering the place where the divine beast is, I estimate that only the two of us can go, and these six people are afraid that they will be stopped outside the door. Before that, if there is danger, you must escape at the first time, do not hesitate!"
