Chapter 2159: The Fire Worship Sect Leader Emerges from Seclusion
Above the ’main island’ of the Holy Land of the Fire Worship Sect, clouds and mist shrouded floating islands, each occupying distinct altitudes on four different levels.
At the highest point, there was only one floating island.
Further down, there were a total of five floating islands.
Going further down, there were a total of ten floating islands.
Continuing downward, there were a total of fifty floating islands.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
...
Accompanied by swift gusts of wind, figures from all directions gathered near the highest floating island.
They all simultaneously paused, their movements highly coordinated.
To an outsider, it might appear as if they had rehearsed in advance.
Among them, Azure Dragon Altar Master ’Kaisen Wright’ was prominently present!
Now, it wasn’t just Kaisen Wright, the Azure Dragon Altar Master; even the Vermilion Bird Altar Master, White Tiger Altar Master, and Black Tortoise Altar Master had arrived.
Aside from them, several ’Golden Flame Elders’ of the Fire Worship Sect were also present.
Even Enforcement Hall Vice Hall Master ’Johnny Reid,’ along with other hall masters, had also come.
Furthermore, there were two unfamiliar faces, unmistakably the two ’Vice Sect Leaders’ of the Fire Worship Sect, both at the ’Sixth Ascension Transformation’ level, who were more powerful than Kaisen Wright, Johnny Reid, and others.
At the same time, Kaisen Wright, Johnny Reid, and others proactively greeted the two.
After all, they were the ’Vice Sect Leaders’ of the Fire Worship Sect, with status and power above all, hence they dared not neglect them.
As the two Vice Sect Leaders smiled and responded to Kaisen Wright, Johnny Reid, and others.
"Such liveliness?"
An elderly, lazy voice came forth.
Then, under everyone’s watchful eyes, a very slovenly-looking old man appeared before them all in due time.
The old man wore shabby robes, unkempt, looking more like an ’old beggar.’
However, this figure resembling an ’old beggar’ upon appearing, made Johnny Reid, the usually proud Enforcement Hall Vice Hall Master, immediately bow in greeting, "Lord Hall Master!"
"Lord Hall Master!"
Other Enforcement Hall Vice Hall Masters also quickly bowed in greeting.
As they all paid their respects, the slovenly old man’s ’identity’ became apparent:
Enforcement Hall Hall Master, Eagle Coldring!
"Greetings, Master Coldring!"
"Master Coldring!"
...
Subsequent to Johnny Reid and several Enforcement Hall Vice Hall Masters, each altar master and other Golden Flame Elders also respectfully greeted the shabby old man.
Even the two Vice Sect Leaders of the Fire Worship Sect now smiled and proactively greeted the old man.
This Enforcement Hall Hall Master, though having achieved the same level as them, the ’Sixth Ascension Transformation,’
If judging by strength, even if they join forces, they may not triumph over him!
He was a being with one foot in the ’Seventh Ascension Transformation’ realm!
Faced with everyone’s greetings and salutations, Enforcement Hall Hall Master Eagle Coldring intended to respond... But he hadn’t spoken yet when he seemed to feel something, suddenly turning to gaze afar.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Amidst what seemed like three gusts of wind, three figures materialized not far from the crowd.
Once materializing, the true forms of these three persons were revealed:
An ’elderly’ man in blue clothes, a ’young man’ in purple clothes, and a ’beautiful woman’ in red clothes.
The elderly man, with white hair and an immortal demeanor, seemed like an ascended immortal;
The young man, handsome and poised, emanated a refreshing aura;
The beautiful woman, breathtakingly stunning with an alluring figure paired with a charming face was enough to captivate others.
However, no one here dared to harbor profane thoughts about the ’beautiful woman’ in red clothes.
Seeing the appearance of the three - the elderly man in blue clothes, the youthful man in purple, and the stunning woman in red - they tightened their expressions, faces serious, losing their previous casualness.
It seemed as if the three before them were overwhelming threats!
Only Enforcement Hall Hall Master Eagle Coldring was slightly better, first to regain composure and then with a smile said to the trio, "Today is truly a ’good day,’ unexpectedly meeting the Three Great Protectors."
With Eagle Coldring’s words, their identities became clear:
These were the ’Three Great Protectors’ of the Fire Worship Sect, ranked only below the Sect Leader!
The Fire Worship Sect’s Three Great Protectors were also known as the ’Three Protectors of Wind, Fire, and Cloud,’ namely ’Ethan Tyler,’ ’Bo,’ and ’Laney.’
This ranking was based on their respective strengths.
Among them, the strongest was ’Protector Ethan Tyler,’ the youthful man in purple, handsome and poised, who had long ascended to the ’Eighth Ascension Transformation,’ an essential pillar of the Fire Worship Sect.
Next is the ’Bo Protector’, who is Paisley Flores’s master. With cultivation at the ’Saint Immortal Seventh Transformation’, he is considered one of the elites throughout the Martial Dao Sacred Land, ranking in the top twenty on the Extreme Saint Ranking.
Finally, there’s the ’Laney Protector’. Though she is a woman, her cultivation has also stepped into the ’Saint Immortal Seventh Transformation’, making her one of the rare female powerhouses above the Saint Immortal Seventh Transformation in the Upper Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land.
"Greetings to Protector Ethan Tyler, Protector Bo, and Protector Laney!"
At the same time, led by the two Vice Sect Leaders of the Fire Worship Sect, the others bowed respectfully to Ethan Tyler, Bo, and Laney, their attitude extremely humble.
Ethan Tyler and the other two nodded faintly, their gaze shifting to the floating island not far away.
This floating island is also the one located at the highest point, like an emperor standing at the top, overlooking the world, dominating heaven and earth!
At this very moment.
From within the expansive mansion situated on this floating island, waves of overwhelming and almost invincible aura were continuously emanating...
In the face of this aura, even some of the weaker Golden Flame Elders present felt a certain pressure.
"Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation... It’s indeed the ’Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation’!!"
Suddenly, Bo, one of the Three Great Protectors of the Fire Worship Sect, had his eyes light up, then exclaimed in a low voice filled with excitement.
"Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation? Has the Sect Leader... broken through to the ’Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation’?!"
Upon hearing Bo’s words, except for the other two Protectors of the Fire Worship Sect and Hall Master Eagle Coldring of the Enforcement Hall, everyone else was stunned.
They never imagined:
That their Fire Worship Sect Leader would, in this closed-door session, break through to the ’Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation’ in one go!
The Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation is the ultimate realm that humans and Sacred Beasts in the Martial Dao Sacred Land can reach!
This cultivation realm is also termed as the ’Ascension Transformation’.
Anyone who steps into the Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation ’Ascension Transformation’ can further increase their strength, bringing forth a heavenly tribulation, and upon successfully overcoming it, they obtain the opportunity for ’celestial ascension’.
After celestial ascension, one reaches the next higher plane, the ’higher planes’, becoming a true ’immortal’, wielding supreme celestial power!
"Will our Fire Worship Sect also have a powerhouse at the ’Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation’?"
Recovering from the shock, people led by the two Vice Sect Leaders of the Fire Worship Sect exhibited expressions of elation.
You must know:
Until today, among the three major sects of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, only their Fire Worship Sect lacked a figure at the ’Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation’, which had always been a ’mental burden’ for the high-level members of the Fire Worship Sect.
Now, knowing that their Sect Leader had broken through to the ’Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation’, their mental burden was instantly relieved.
To them:
This ’news’ is more effective than any medicine!
The overwhelming and almost invincible aura flowed continuously from the floating island ahead, as if it would never stop...
Meanwhile, beneath the clouds and mist under the feet of the Fire Worship Sect’s high-level members, within the ’Holy Island’, a group of elite disciples of the Holy Land was in chaos, each panicked as if the ’end of the world’ had arrived.
Although the disciples from each of the Four Symbols Altars felt the aura, they were not overly pressured due to the distance.
Nonetheless, they were very curious:
"What kind of aura is this? So overwhelming! It’s as if it’s invincible!"
"I don’t know."
"It seems to be coming from ’Holy Land’ over there."
...
Similar conversations took place across various locations in the Four Symbols Altars.
While the elite disciples of the Holy Land were in chaos and the disciples of each Four Symbols Altar stood bewildered.
A booming voice, yet seemingly magical, resonated in the ears of everyone in the Fire Worship Sect:
"Let me share some good news with everyone... Our Fire Worship Sect’s ’Sect Leader’ has successfully broken through to the Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation ’Ascension Transformation’!!"
The voice resounded in the ears of everyone within the Fire Worship Sect.
And the content of the message, like a bolt from the blue, struck the elders and disciples of the Fire Worship Sect, leaving them in shock for a long while.
Eventually, it was the elders of the Fire Worship Sect who first recovered, each displaying excitement, "The Sect Leader... broke through to the ’Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation’?"
"The Sect Leader, Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation ’Ascension Transformation’?"
The Fire Worship Sect disciples, who came to their senses after a moment of daze, were also filled with an indescribable excitement.
The Sect Leader of their Fire Worship Sect growing stronger also signifies the growing strength of the Fire Worship Sect itself.
For these disciples of the Fire Worship Sect, it implied only benefits, no drawbacks!
About a quarter of an hour later, that overwhelming and almost invincible aura finally dissipated, allowing the elite disciples within the Holy Land to breathe a sigh of relief.
Even knowing that the aura came from their Fire Worship Sect’s Sect Leader, mentally prepared.
They still felt immense pressure from the aura, a pressure stemming from the soul.
Phew!
Meanwhile, above the clouds and mist above the Holy Island, at the top of the floating island, there appeared a tall and imposing figure out of thin air.
"Sect Leader!"
As soon as the figure appeared, everyone not far away bowed respectfully in greeting.
