Northwest of the center of the Tenglong Continent, headquarters of the Wuyan Palace.
As one of the four major powers, Wuyan Palace occupies a vast and pri area of Tenglong Continent, but today, so strange events are occurring at its headquarters.
Since Palace Master Wu Zhukong left for Xuanyin Hall, all affairs, big and small, in the palace have been handled by the Vice Palace Master, a woman nad Fu Lingxue, who is by no ans a simple character.
Don't be misled by the "xue" (snow) in Fu Lingxue's na; her cultivation involves pure fire attribute techniques.
Because of her long-term dealings with fire attribute matters, this Vice Palace Master is fiery by nature. In fact, many stewards and disciples in the palace fear Fu Lingxue more than Palace Master Wu Zhukong.
After all, Wu Zhukong is focused on cultivation and generally does not concern himself with minor palace affairs. It is Fu Lingxue who handles everything, so over ti, the disciples of Wuyan Palace have beco increasingly respectful and in awe of her.
The Holy Fla Hall is the most important hall in Wuyan Palace. It is said that there is a holy fla within the hall that has never extinguished since the founding master of Wuyan Palace built the palace here, becoming the palace's sacred fire.
Deep within the Holy Fla Hall, a head-sized fla floats back and forth. It seems sowhat transparent, not like an ordinary fla, but its heat proves that it is indeed a fla, the sacred fire of Wuyan Palace known as "Wuyan."
Perhaps it is because of the nearly transparent color of the sacred fire that the founding master of Wuyan Palace nad the sect Wuyan, showing reverence for the sacred fire.
Over countless years, many impressive palace masters have attempted to refine and rge with the so-called sacred fire Wuyan, but all have failed. One palace master was even backfired upon during the attempt and suffered fatal injuries, ultimately dying in despair.
Wuyan Palace was established here, not because that magical Wuyan truly belongs to it. Without certain luck and strength, one cannot even touch Wuyan, let alone refine it.
This is the greatest regret of successive palace masters of Wuyan Palace. Unable to refine that magical Wuyan, the na of the palace is sowhat deceptive. The sacred fire still floats there, eternally unquenchable, and unclaid by Wu Zhukong's generation.
Focused in the middle of the hall, there sits a graceful figure in a large fiery red chair, wearing a similarly fiery red robe—this is Fu Lingxue, the Vice Palace Master of Wuyan Palace, superior only to the palace master himself.
Fu Lingxue seems shrouded in a faint fla, but upon closer inspection, there's nothing there. This strange phenonon causes a subtle fear in the eyes of the Wuyan Palace elders standing below.
"The ssage from the Palace Master, everyone should be aware by now?"
Fu Lingxue slowly lifts her head, waving the letter in her hand, believing that the elders of Wuyan Palace have already gathered information from various sources regarding the ssage from Xuanyin Hall.
"Vice Palace Master, are you saying... there really is a Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit in Xuanyin Hall?"
A certain elder's voice trembles at this, for he is rely a peak Earth Bending cultivator. To him, a Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit, comparable to a Heavenly Realm expert, is overwhelmingly intimidating.
Hearing this elder's question, the other Wuyan Palace elders also focus on Fu Lingxue, hoping for a definite answer from her. It would be best if such a thing did not appear on the Tenglong Continent.
Even if the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit appears on the territory of their potential adversary Xuanyin Hall, such a being's ergence would spell disaster, threatening not only Xuanyin Hall but also the safety of Wuyan Palace.
"Do you doubt the ssage from the Palace Master?"
Seeing the distressed faces of the elders, Fu Lingxue's face shows a hint of anger, with even a flicker of fire in her eyes. Her words instill a chill in the souls of everyone present, silencing further inquiry.
As Fu Lingxue stated, the ssage is verified, so its contents must be authentic. Thus, there really is a slumbering Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit within the Xuanyin Cave of Xuanyin Hall?
"Xuanyin Hall has summoned all cultivators of Heavenly Rank level from Tenglong Continent to break the seal. I shall soon depart as well, but before that, there's an issue demanding your attention!"
Fu Lingxue glances at the letter, then raises her head, continuing: "The Wuyan Cloth, a secret treasure of our palace, has appeared, and four gathered fragnts are in the hands of a young man nad Yun Xiao. Do you understand what you must do?"
"What? Wuyan Cloth?"
Compared to the elusive Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit, it seems that the well-known Wuyan Cloth intrigues the elders of Wuyan Palace more.
Legend has it that the Wuyan Cloth is related to a great secret of Wuyan Palace, pointing to a hidden place filled with lost cultivation techniques and ridian Techniques, and even rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. So say it holds the inheritance of the founding master.
Throughout countless years, no one has discovered that place, but they believe that piecing together the four fragnts of the Wuyan Cloth will surely reveal the location linked to the palace's secret treasure.
Unfortunately, over the years, Wuyan Palace has been constantly searching for the whereabouts of the Wuyan Cloth, but in the end, they have not even found a single fragnt of it.
So at this mont, upon hearing that soone has actually gathered the Wuyan Cloth, how could these elders of Wuyan Palace not be overjoyed?
In their view, no matter who obtained the Wuyan Cloth, it is the private property of Wuyan Palace, and only the cultivators belonging to Wuyan Palace have the right to possess the treasures within the secret land.
"Don't underestimate that Yun Xiao; he is a genius who managed to survive a blow from the Palace Master, perhaps his cultivation talent is not inferior to Xiwa!"
Recalling the news Wu Zhukong returned from Xuanyin Hall, a vague figure in rough clothes flashed through Fu Lingxue's mind. In fact, his last words were already paying great tribute to Long Xiwawa.
Because Fu Lingxue knew that no matter how strong Long Xiwawa's talent was, with his cultivation at the half-step Earth Realm, it was impossible for him to withstand a powerful strike from Wu Zhukong, a strong person at the Heavenly Rank Cloud Realm.
Even a random strike could instantly break Long Xiwawa's tendons and bones, resulting in his death.
"No matter who he is, we must retrieve the Wuyan Cloth. Anyone who dares to claim it for himself must die without a grave!"
The Great Elder of Wuyan Palace had just recently broken through to the early stage of the Floating Life Realm of the Heavenly Rank Third Realm and was at a ti of high spirits. Hearing his shout, all the elders of Wuyan Palace nodded in agreent.
Although the news from Fu Lingxue surprised many elders, the significance of the Wuyan Cloth was too great for them. They couldn't allow it to fall into the hands of outsiders, as it concerned the dignity of Wuyan Palace.
If they didn't know, it would be one thing. But now that they know the Wuyan Cloth is in the hands of a young talent, these elders would have few qualms. There could be many reasons one could withstand the Palace Master's blow—be it taking advantage or the Palace underestimating the opponent, among others.
Boom!
Just as the elders of Wuyan Palace were lost in thought, an unusual fluctuation emanated from the depths of the Holy Fla Hall, drawing the attention of everyone, including Fu Lingxue, towards the source.
There they saw the originally transparent Holy Fire "No Fla" trembling violently, which made the many elders both shocked and delighted, secretly thinking that such a phenonon had never happened before, had it?
"Look, there seems to be sothing appearing on the Holy Fire!"
The Great Elder of Wuyan Palace, with sharp eyes, exclaid, and then saw the Vice Palace Master already striding towards the nearly transparent No Fla, with the elders hastily following.
At this ti, the No Fla was no longer in its transparent, formless state; it was now like a crystal ball capable of recording certain images, displaying constantly moving patterns.
"Doesn't this place seem familiar to you?"
Fu Lingxue, gazing intently for a long ti, finally uttered a soft query, as if asking the others or talking to herself.
"That looks like the ancestral land of our Wuyan Palace!"
With Fu Lingxue's reminder, the Great Elder instantly realized, slapping his right leg, which made all the elders of Wuyan Palace understand.
Wuyan Palace was not initially established here but at the border between the current location of Wuyan Palace and Xuanyin Hall. During that ti, Wuyan Palace was almost untouchable on the entire Tenglong Continent.
Later, when Xuanyin Hall rose to power and took over a small part of the territory originally belonging to Wuyan Palace, Wuyan Palace was no longer as valiant as it was when it was first founded. Xuanyin Hall was then at its peak and full of vigor, forcing Wuyan Palace to relocate its headquarters.
Were it not for the ergence of several strong Palace Masters from Wuyan Palace over the generations, their territory might have been completely swallowed by Xuanyin Hall, ultimately leading to the coexistence of the two forces.
It was also during that ti that the Holy Fire "No Fla" of Wuyan Palace was moved to this new headquarters and placed in the Holy Fla Hall, never exhibiting any abnormalities, except once when it backfired and killed a forr Palace Master trying to refine it.
None of the Wuyan Palace elders expected such a sudden change in the No Fla to occur today.
Many elders had visited the ancestral land, once believing that Wuyan Palace's secret treasures lay within it, only to later prove it was re conjecture without basis.
"Could it be that sothing has happened to our Wuyan Palace ancestral land?"
