For the past few thousand years, the leaders of the five factions have been fighting for the highest authority. They all wanted to become the new head of the Five Elements Sect, but as generation after generation of leaders passed away, no one was able to reunite the Five Elements Sect.
Until a hundred years ago, when the conflicts between the five factions reached its peak, and the fight finally broke out, the families that were originally living under the Five Elements Sect and settled in the pentagonal city began to leave one after another. No one wanted to participate in this internal conflict!
In the beginning, the various factions all thought that they had the strength to crush others, but in fact, none of them were able to do anything to each other. Then, in the next few years, geniuses from various factions were assassinated one after another.
From then on, the Five Elements Sect no longer had any new blood, and some disciples even left the sect on their own accord, secretly fleeing the pentagonal city!
This state continued until half a year ago, when the previous leaders of the five factions successively fell in battle after being heavily injured. The Five Elements Sect's powerful foundation was finally exhausted as well.
It was also at that time that other powers started to covet the pentagonal city, since this city was extremely large after all. As long as they could manage it well, it would bring about huge benefits, and could be said to be a piece of meat that everyone wanted!
Finally, more than a month ago, the Sacred Sword Sect mentioned by the old man issued an order for the Five Elements Sect to move out within a time limit, surrendering all of her authority!
Fortunately, when the first generation Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect was building the pentagonal city, he used the Five Elements Formation as her foundation. The entire city was a Rank 4 Spiritual Array, and was also a City Barrier Formation.
As a result, the shape of the pentagonal city was different from other cities. Normally, the cities would be square or rectangular shaped, but the pentagonal city was in a pentagonal shape, thus the name pentagonal city appeared.
The reason why it was built like that was because the pentagonal city was not a whole, but instead consisted of five equal waisted and triangular divisions. Each division was an independent Rank 2 spirit array, they were the Gengjin, Armored Wooden, Nong Shui, C Fire, and E Earth divisions!
Although it was only a Rank Two Spiritual Array, when the power of the Spiritual Array was combined with the controller's own strength, the controller's combat strength would greatly increase!
The five sub-arrays were independent and connected to each other. In addition, there was also a third order core array. The final product of this array was a fourth order defensive array, the Yin Yang Five Elements Array!
And the entire array was controlled by the Sect Leader with a core control order. Each of the five branches had a sub-control order in their hands!
Only by collecting the six tokens would he be able to activate the Rank 4 Spiritual Array. Unfortunately, when the third generation Sect Leader went missing, so did the core control order. All that was left were the array control orders of the five branch Sect Leaders!
But even so, as long as he gathered the power of five sub-arrays, he would be able to perform an initial power fusion and unleash the power of a peak of the third step spirit array, which was enough to withstand the attack of a peak True Origin Stage expert!
However, gathering the power of five orders to use the power of a three order spirit array was not the end goal of the battle for the Five Elements Sect. Instead, it was another use for gathering the five orders, and that was to open the inheritance of the five elements left behind by the first Sect Leader!
The reason why the first Sect Leader left such an inheritance was to give his descendants an opportunity to reverse the crisis of the destruction of their sect in the fall of the Five Elements Sect!
As long as one was able to obtain this inheritance, they would be able to create a fourth level expert in a short period of time. Furthermore, there would also be a variety of lowly methods left behind by the ancestor that would be able to lead the Five Elements Sect out of her predicament, allowing him to discover that it would continue on!
Of course, there was only one chance, and the inheritance could only be obtained by one person, which was why the Five Elements Sect had been unwilling to give up on the pentagonal city!
Hearing that, Fang Ming's eyes lit up, he never expected that there would be such a pleasant surprise!
Although he did not know what the inheritance was about, but to be able to create a fourth level Transcendent Mortal expert in such a short amount of time, it at the very least meant that he had good fortune in raising his cultivation.
Others might worry about the aftereffects of his enlightened breakthrough, but he did not have to worry about that. With the external aid of Enlightenment Spirit Diagram of the Heavenly Dao, no matter what kind of power he had, he would be able to purify or refine it.
But they could not rush to obtain the inheritance, at the very least, they had to first ascertain how much strength the Five Elements Sect had left!
"What's your name, old man?"
But just as Fang Ming wanted to continue to ask, he was embarrassed to discover that he still did not know the old man's name!
"My name is Huo Chong. Lord can call me Old Huo or call me Little Tian!" The old man replied.
"En, Little Tian, let me ask you, in Five Elements Sect, how is your overall strength?"
Seeing that the old man's attitude had become more sincere, Fang Ming nodded his head in satisfaction. Then, he asked about the overall strength of the Five Elements Sect!
"Right now, the situation for every faction is almost the same. There are only less than five people who have reached Kong Ming Realm, and among them, only one has reached the peak of Kong Ming Realm, which is the current leader of every faction. The five sub-formation control orders are in their hands!"
After hearing this question, Huo Chong did not dare to hide it. Perhaps he really was afraid of being frozen!
"And among the disciples that are at the The Realm of Divine Concealment level, there are less than ten remaining. Among them, other than the two disciples from the Sky Fire Clan, there is only one other person who has reached the peak of the The Realm of Divine Concealment."
Seeing that Huo Chong was hesitating at the end, Fang Ming coldly continued, "So when the two of us entered the city, my heart was filled with evil thoughts, and I wanted to be your helpers right?"
"This little one swears that I'm not being malicious, I …"
Hearing this ice-cold voice, Huo Chong was so frightened that he immediately shivered. He started to explain, but Fang Ming interrupted him and said, "There's no need to explain, let's talk about the other situation! Un, let's first talk about how strong the Sacred Sword Sect is!
Seeing that the other party was not truly angry, the old man heaved a sigh of relief, and said: "Sacred Sword Sect, in the entire Qingxia Kingdom, can be ranked among the top. His Sect Leader's cultivation is at the middle stage of the True Origin Stage, and there are also two elders at the early stage of True Origin Stage.
There are rumors saying that there are three Patriarchs who have been cultivating in seclusion for a long time in Sacred Sword Sect, and one of them is the strongest one who has reached the early stage of unify. Furthermore, he has all sorts of hidden strengths, and his overall strength is ranked among the top three of all first-rate powers, which is recognized as one of the sects that has the highest possibility of becoming the next strongest power!
"This time, the reason why the Sacred Sword Sect wants to occupy the pentagonal city is actually because of the inheritance of the Five Elements Sect. They want to use this opportunity to expand their development and charge into the ranks of the top powers.
"The Sacred Sword Sect's plan was also known by the other three sects that are ranked in the top powers. They also wanted to obtain the Five Elements Sect's legacy, and they also wanted to occupy the pentagonal city. In the end, it created a situation where all three parties were restraining each other, allowing the Five Elements Sect to have some time to catch his breath!"
Hearing this, the Five Elements Sect had already roughly understood the sequence of events. He just wanted to use this period of time to take the initiative to obtain the inheritance of the first Sect Leader, and use it to reverse the crisis!
Only, after understanding the situation clearly, Fang Ming's eyes flashed. He did not believe that the three sects were really restraining each other, and would descend domineeringly when the Five Elements Sect opens the inheritance!
The reason why he gave Five Elements Sect the time to catch his breath was probably just to prevent a life and death struggle!
