In the Fire Worship Sect's Saint Land, there were two types of Saint Land disciples. First, there were the elite disciples. Whichever Four Symbols Sanctums' disciples who managed to enter the Saint Land from the Four Symbols Sanctums to become a Saint Land disciple were considered an elite disciple. Most of the Saint Land disciples in the Saint Land were elite disciples. Second was the true disciples. Unlike the elite disciples, the number of true disciples in the Fire Worship Sect's Saint Land was not high. There were only about 170 of them.
99% of these true disciples were powerhouses who had already entered the Saint Celestial Stage. The remaining ones were were those geniuses who possessed indigo Innate Spiritual Roots.
With just a blue Innate Spiritual Root, it was enough to allow one to enter the Saint Celestial Stage and become a Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse if there was no accident, let alone someone who possessed an indigo Innate Spiritual Root.
In the current Fire Worship Sect, there were not more than ten people who possessed indigo Innate Spiritual Roots. Some of them were from the older generations in the Fire Worship Sect.
Just take the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect for example, he possessed the indigo Innate Spiritual Root. Similarly, two of the three great Guardians of the Fire Worship Sect and one of the two Vice Sect Leaders possessed indigo Innate Spiritual Roots as well.
The remaining Guardian and Vice Sect Leader, on the other hand, possessed blue Innate Spiritual Roots. However their Innate Spiritual Roots were dark blue, it was very close to an indigo Innate Spiritual Roots.
For this reason, geniuses who possessed indigo Innate Spiritual Roots were given special treatment and could directly become true disciples without having to reach the Saint Celestial Stage due to their bright future. However, there was a rule stating that their cultivation base had to be at the Divine Saint Stage at least. It was as easy as eating and sleeping for these geniuses with indigo Innate Spiritual Roots to break through to the Divine Saint Stage.
In the Fire Worship Sect's Saint Land, all of the elite disciples lived in the vast valley that had been intentionally set up for them. There was a total of 3,000 small courtyards for them to live in. Moreover, the cultivation environment there was even better than the Primus houses in the Four Symbols Sanctums.
As for the true disciples, they did not stay on the Main Island.
They lived on the independent floating islands surrounding the Main Island. They all occupied an island that had a mansion. There was also a large open space in front of the mansion for them to practice their martial tactics and Divine Abilities.
Creak —
A faint sound resonated from one of the independent floating islands.
A young man pushed open the door of one of the rooms in the mansion on the island.
The young man was tall and had a huge build. There was an expression of indifference on his face.
If Duan Ling Tian saw this young man, he would be able to see that he resembled Yang Wu whom he had killed by about 50% to 60%. This young man was none other than Yang Wu's elder brother, Yang Wen!
"Just a little bit more… I'm certain I can successfully comprehend it during my next closed-door cultivation!" Yang Wen muttered to himself as he walked out of the room.
As the Fire Worship Sect's Saint Land true disciple, apart from possessing a cultivation base at the First Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, Yang Wen had even mastered a high-grade movement Divine Ability. During these few years, apart from cultivating, he's also devoted his time to comprehend a high-grade offensive Divine Ability.
It was during his recent closed-door cultivation that he finally saw a glimpse of success while he was comprehending the high-grade offensive Divine Ability!
'Unfortunately… Little Wu is no longer here to see me master a second high-grade Divine Ability!' The moment Yang Wen thought of this, his expression turned grave when he recalled Yang Wu, his younger brother, who regarded him as his idol.
Although 90% of the Fire Worship Sect's Four Symbols Sanctums knew the reason of Yang Wu's death and felt that he had sought death, as Yang Wu's biological brother, he did not think so. In his eyes, his brother could do no wrong. Even if his brother had acted outrageously, as an elder brother, he would support him until the end regardless if he was right or wrong!
Due to this reason, when he learned Yang Wu had been killed, he had regarded Duan Ling Tian as his mortal enemy. He would not rest until he killed Duan Ling Tian.
"Duan Ling Tian has entered the Saint Land?" When Yang Wen left his floating island to go the Central Square in the Main Island, he heard the discussion of a few Saint Land disciples who were passing by.
Based on their discussion, he learned that his enemy, the one who killed his younger brother, had already entered the Saint Land and become a Saint Land disciple.
"He has actually comprehended the Black Turtle Sanctum 's most treasured Divine Ability, the Black Turtle's Barrier?" When Yang Wen found out how Duan Ling Tian had entered the Saint Land, a hint of jealousy flashed across his eyes.
Yang Wen was also from the Black Turtle Sanctum of the Four Symbols Sanctum. He had tried comprehending the Black Turtle Sanctum's most treasured Divine Ability, the Black Turtle's Barrier, but he yielded no results even after so many years.
In the end, he could only give up and comprehend a high-grade movement ability that he had mastered. Currently, he was in the process of comprehending another high-grade Divine Ability.
"Even if I can't kill or cripple you openly… I still want you to have a taste of what it's like to wish you're dead!" Yang Wen's eyes flashed coldly as he left the Central Square at an extremely fast speed as he made his way toward the residence of Saint Land disciples.
He moved menacingly. Anyone could tell he was harboring ill intent.
He was not Li An. As the Black Turtle Sanctum's Silver Flame Elder, naturally, it was not convenient for him to make a move on a Black Turtle Sanctum's disciple, let alone torturing the disciple until he wished he was dead. It would affect his reputation since people would say he was bullying the weak.
If news of it spread out, the Fire Worship Sect would be humiliated. This could cause many geniuses who planned to join their sect to change their minds and join the other two great sects instead. If that happened, it would be a great loss for the Fire Worship Sect.
Due to this reason, Li An feared the Fire Worship Sect's high-ranking officials would expel him from the Fire Worship Sect out of rage.
However, all this did not apply to Yang Wen. He was not a Fire Worship Sect's elder. He was only a disciple of the Fire Worship Sect just like Duan Ling Tian. Even if news of him torturing Duan Ling Tian spread out because he was avenging his brother, it would not affect the Fire Worship Sect's reputation at all. Moreover, as long as he did not kill or cripple Duan Ling Tian, he would not be violating the Fire Worship Sect's rules at all.
This was a loophole in the Fire Worship Sect's rules. It had always been there, and it seemed as though it had been intentionally left there.
Due to this loophole in the rules, there were some people in the sect who were tortured to the point they wished they were dead.
These people who were tortured until they wished that they were better off dead would usually work even harder after that. Some of them managed to seek revenge. Those who did not manage to seek revenge discovered they had progressed further because of it.
One could say this loophole in the Fire Worship Sect's rules had inspired many of the Fire Worship Sect's disciples.
Naturally, in the Fire Worship Sect, there were very few people who would go to the extent of torturing someone until they wished they were dead unless there was great enmity involved and the other person did not accept the Death Duel.
"It's Senior Brother Yang Wen!" When Yang Wen appeared at the Saint Land disciples' residence in that vast valley, it attracted many people's attention.
Yang Wen used to be a Saint Land disciple who lived here as well. However, after he had broken through to the Saint Celestial Stage and became a true disciple, he had, naturally, left this place.
However, many Saint Land disciples remembered him and could recognize him in just a glance.
Whoosh!
Yang Wen moved very quickly and arrived at the side of the valley.
There were five Saint Land disciples gathered there. They were originally talking but became distracted by Yang Wen's presence.
They felt a little awkward with Yang Wen there.
"Senior Brother Yang Wen!"
"Senior Brother Yang Wen!"
"Where's Duan Ling Tian staying?" Yang Wen glanced at the five Saint Land disciples. A hint of arrogance could be seen in his eyes as he looked at five of them.
When the five Saint Land disciples heard his words, they realized they were not his target. They instantly sighed in relief before simultaneously pointing to a direction.
Yang Wen looked at the direction where the five Saint Land disciples were pointing at. Soon, his gaze was trained on a small courtyard, and he immediately flew out.
However, when he reached outside the small courtyard, he did not force his way in. Instead, he sat cross-legged in the air and shut his eyes to attain mental composure.
He cultivated as he waited quietly.
It was not that he did not want to force his way in. However, if he did, the consequences were not something he could afford to bear.
First of all, every stone house behind the small courtyard that the Saint Land disciples lived in had a very strong soundproof effect. Not only that, but a Formation stopping Divine Consciousness from entering was also laid inside.
Apart from opening the door, the only other method to alert the person inside was to destroy the Formation stopping Divine Consciousness from entering or to destroy the stone house.
However, if he did this, there was a huge possibility that the person inside would go crazy due to Qi deviation!
According to the Fire Worship Sect's rules, whoever disrupted the cultivation of a fellow disciple and caused the person to go insane would be sentenced to death regardless of his innate talent and position.
Naturally, Yang Wen wished Duan Ling Tian would go insane, but he was unwilling to pay for it with his own life.
Otherwise, he would not have just planned to torture Duan Ling Tian until he wished he was dead. He felt Duan Ling Tian's life was not as valuable as his own life, therefore he would not sacrifice his own life just to kill Duan Ling Tian.
