Chapter 1796: Unreasonable
ingtong said, “So, I suggest focusing our energy on this trial meeting.”After listening to Wang Mingtong's words, the heads of various families looked at each other with varied expressions.On second t...The next morning, at the gates of Yuhua Men.
Fang Yu stood at the front, Xu Jialu and Zhong Chen followed behind.
As for the little white dog, it burrowed into Fang Yu's chest under her clothes.
"The Jihuo Sect is located in the westernmost part of the southern border region, while we are in the easternmost part. Even with a Shenxing Fu... it would still take quite some time," Fang Yu said.
"It's alright, the official start of the Sect Assembly is at ten in the morning. There are still four whole hours." Xu Jia Lu said.
"No more talk, let's get going." Fang Yu turned to Chen Ye behind him and added, "If anything happens, notify me immediately."
"Yes," Chen Ye replied.
Fang Yu nodded and took out the Shen Xing Fu.
"Whoosh!"
The next second, the three disappeared from Yuhua Gate, flying rapidly in the west direction.
……
In the western regions of Nanyang, bordering the frontier, lies a rolling plateau.
Because of its high elevation, this area has relatively few cities and a small population.
However, in the highest region of the West, there stood a great tower.
This tower is forged from black wood, a thousand meters high, with a blazing golden flame atop its peak.
This is the hallmark architectural structure of Jíhuǒzōng, a Level 1 Immortal Sect at the southern borderlands: Jíhuǒ Tiān Tǎ!
It is said that the flame atop the Extreme Fire Heavenly Pagoda has been burning for over three thousand years, never extinguished.
Many people say that this flame symbolizes the rise and fall of the Jihuo Sect.
As long as the Jihuo Sect can remain powerful, this flame will burn forever!
It was only eight in the morning, yet the entrance to Jihuo Sect was packed with people.
All of these are cultivators from various sects.
Each session of the Sect Assembly will invite representatives from sects with a level five or above within the domain to participate.
Therefore, each session of the sect gathering brings together thousands of top-tier cultivators in a grand spectacle.
As it was not yet time, the main gate of the Extreme Fire Sect had not yet been opened.
Several cultivators grew impatient and shouted, "Since we're all here, just let us in first!"
"Well, even though the conference hasn't started yet, shouldn't we be allowed inside like in previous years It doesn't seem right to keep all of us waiting outside."
"No entry before 10 a.m. This is the rule of our Jihuo Sect. Those who are unwilling to abide by it may leave on their own." The gatekeeper disciples at both sides spoke expressionlessly, "Those who cause trouble, or attempt to break in...will be treated as enemy forces."
As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding noise noticeably decreased.
This is the Jihuo Sect! A first-class immortal sect!
Although they were filled with grievances, no one dared to confront the Jihuo Sect head-on, or else... they would be courting death!
Moreover, the image of the Jihuo Sect has always been one of arrogance... Since this year's sect conference was hosted by the Jihuo Sect, it had to abide by their rules. There wasn't really much they could do about it.
Thus, in front of the Extreme Fire Sect's gate... an increasing number of cultivators gathered.
At this moment, within an ancient hall of the Jihuo Sect.
"This time, the Celestial Palace sent their fourth-ranked Saint Son. They really underestimate our Extreme Fire Sect," a man in a black and red robe sat on the high seat in the hall, his eyes narrowed with malice.
"No matter who they send, my disciple will surely live up to expectations and defeat him, winning back our reputation for the Jihuo Sect!" A relatively young man in black knelt on one knee, his voice firm.
“Well, of course Master believes in you. As our nominal third disciple, your strength has long surpassed that of the chief disciple!” The old man said softly, “This time's sect conference is your stepping stone... If you can perform outstandingly, you will surely make a name for yourself and truly become the chief disciple of our Jihuo Sect, obtaining all the cultivation resources!”
"I can do it!" Lu Yun lowered his head and replied.
……
9:00 AM.
Fang Yu and the two others didn't know how many kilometers they had traveled, but they finally arrived at the gates of Jihuo Sect, located in a highland region.
Before even reaching the gate, one could see a massive crowd of cultivators gathered before it, along with the iconic Extreme Fire Heavenly Tower within the sect.
"So many people" Fang Yu exclaimed.
"There are already over a thousand cultivators here, and this Chi Fire Sect still hasn't opened the doors..." Xu Jiarou frowned and said.
Three people fell from the sky and stood at the back of the crowd.
"This Jihuazong really puts on airs, not letting people in until after ten o'clock!" Xu Jialu said resentfully, "Do they really think that being a first-class Xianmen allows them to do whatever they want"
"That's right, a first-class Immortal Sect can do whatever it wants." At this moment, a cultivator with an eight-character beard turned his head and said, "Fellow Daoist, I suggest you speak softly, lest those gatekeeper disciples ahead hear you."
"Several uncouth individuals had already been driven out, one even severely injured... Quite a tragedy."
"You just jumped in So unreasonable" Xu Jia Lu frowned.
"Sigh, this is a first-class immortal sect. How could they not be arrogant given their status" The Daoist with the eight-character beard sighed, "Let's wait patiently. It's better than being expelled publicly."
Xu Jia Lu looked at Fang Yu.
Fang Yu would of course have no objection.
Back then, in the cultivation world on Earth, there were also similar-tempered sects.
As long as their own strength and foundation are powerful enough, they do have the qualifications to do so. After all, no one dares to get angry at them.
"Just wait." Fang Yu said.
Xu Jia lu nodded, and Zhong Chen naturally wouldn't have any objections.
Thus, the number of cultivators in front of Jihuo Sect's gate kept increasing, slowly reaching two thousand, and then exceeding two thousand.
Half an hour later, the disciple guarding the gate suddenly spoke.
"The Grandmaster has decreed that those holding a five-star invitation can enter early."
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd of cultivators gathered at the door burst into a flurry of discussion.
Besides the Heavenly Palace, which is also a first-class immortal sect, those who can receive a five-star invitation include high-ranking officials from the Eternal Imperial Dynasty and some renowned and powerful wandering cultivators.
After a while, the murmurs suddenly ceased.
All the cultivators gazed forward.
Five monks in white robes walked toward the front door.
From their attire, these five... are representatives of the top-tier celestial palaces!
"This time, Heaven Palace sent the Prince instead of He Mo..." Xu Jialu said in surprise.
"The fourth-ranked Holy Son of Tiangong…"
At this moment, murmurs of discussion arose from the front.
"Oh So the Crown Prince of the Eternal Imperial Dynasty is also the Holy Son of the Celestial Palace" Fang Yu raised an eyebrow.
"So the Crown Prince has already become the Celestial Saint Son… no wonder…" Xu Jialu patted his forehead and said, "No wonder His Majesty would tear up his face with the Crown Prince, that's why…"
Amidst the murmurings, the Crown Prince, with an impassive expression, entered the Fire Extreme Sect along with four disciples from the Heavenly Palace behind him.
After a while, another team arrived in the Tian Gong.
A man clad in golden robes, accompanied by eight soldiers in gilded armor,
"The Eternal Emperor has arrived!" exclaimed a cultivator.rilliant, Fang Yu turned his divine sense back to gaze upon it, and indeed saw a giant blue planet.And at this moment, this blue planet is shrinking rapidly.This also indicates that the puppet is rapi...
