Secrets and Reflections

He handed the Jade Slip to the Guardian Deity General, who glanced at it and then turned and walked into the Resource Treasury behind him.

Fifteen minutes later, Yang Tianyou had a Storage Ring in his hand, filled with all kinds of resources.

The Storage Ring Cultivation Resources Elder Contribution, worth 50,000, which had been light and flimsy, now seemed to have become quite heavy.

After putting away his Storage Ring, Yang Tianyou raised some questions for the Guardian Deity General answer.

Soon, many of his doubts were resolved, and he learned a great deal about the secrets of the Four Symbols Sect.

Ten thousand years ago, the Four Symbols Sect was at its peak, and its seven great Sage Manifestation shook the Lu Wu Realm.

However, in just two thousand years, due to the successive Ascensions or passing away of Sage Manifestation beings, the Four Symbols Sect's strength entered a period of decline.

Within the sect, only two early-stage Manifestation Realm experts remain: the Azure Dragon Clan Master and the White Tiger Clan Master.

The remaining two Lineage Masters were at the Great Perfection the Spirit Transformation. Although they could unleash Sage Manifestation power through Secret Method, they were not Sage Manifestation after all, and their deterrent power was limited.

Even so, the Four Symbols Sect was extremely powerful and should not have been suddenly destroyed.

Unexpectedly, on a certain day eight thousand years ago, many elders and disciples of the Four Symbols Sect, and even many Spirit Transformation Lineage Masters of the twenty-eight branches, all Demonic Transformation and frantically destroyed the sect's gates.

They were familiar with the internal structure of the Four Symbols Sect, so they quickly caused enormous damage, with heavy casualties among the lower-level disciples.

Fortunately, the Four Lineage Masters emerged from their seclusion in time and, through their Sage Manifestation power, ended the turmoil.

Unexpectedly, at that very moment, the mastermind behind it all suddenly appeared.

This person possesses extraordinary strength, with terrifying Demon Dao cultivation, having reached the peak of the Mid Sage Manifestation, and his strength is comparable to that of the Late Sage Manifestation.

After a fierce battle, the Four Lineage Masters, along with the remaining disciples of their sects and the Sixth-Tier Dao Soldiers Guardian Deity Generals, used the Four Symbols Combined Strike Technique to desperately annihilate the mastermind behind the scenes.

However, after the great battle, the entire Four Symbols Sect was on the verge of collapse. The Four Lineage Masters were severely injured, and the Guardian Deity General had their Energy Cores shattered. Without the help of the Origin Power the Secret Realm's origin, they were unable to unleash their Sage Manifestation power.

To make matters worse, the hostile forces of the Lu Wu Realm took advantage of the chaos and frantically hunted down the remaining disciples of the Four Symbols Sect scattered throughout the Lu Wu Realm.

Under these circumstances, the Four Lineage Masters, sensing that their days were numbered, used their last strength to set up the Four Symbols Sealing God Formation, sealing the Four Symbols Secret Realm in the upper layer of the void. In this way, even a Sage Manifestation cultivator who was proficient in Spatial Secret Method would not be able to find the location of the Secret Realm.

Afterwards, the Four Lineage Masters appointed Guardian Deity General had lost their Energy Cores to guard the Secret Realm and preside over the Four Symbols Nine Trials.

In this way, the Four Symbols Secret Realm, as well as more than 80% of the Cultivation Resources and all the sect's inheritance, were preserved.

What followed was the 8,000-year-long period of the Four Symbols Nine Trials, a time of the Chaotic Sea.

Generation after generation of prodigies overcome the challenges, and those who meet the sect's requirements can join the Four Symbols Sect, obtain abundant resources, and swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao Oath to rebuild the Four Symbols Sect if given the opportunity.

After eight thousand years of accumulation, two of the four main branches of the Four Symbols Sect have now been successfully inherited and have produced Lineage Master.

The Lineage Master of the Vermilion Bird Lineage was the first to appear.

This person was known as the Fire Phoenix Fairy. She once dominated the Lu Wu Realm. Four thousand years ago, she cultivated to the Late Sage Manifestation realm, triggered the Ascension Great Dao, Ascension the Upper Realm.

The Fire Phoenix Fairy left behind the sect, Soaring Phoenix Tower, located in the Southern Sea. It is Province-Level Power comparable to the Qin Province Mountain and River Hall, and it remains extremely prosperous to this day.

Four thousand years have passed since the Fire Phoenix Fairy, and the Eight Desolations Saber Saint has emerged.

With his status as Rogue Cultivator and his unparalleled talent in Blade Dao, he achieved a nine-stage evaluation in the Seven Excellent, One Good, One Average, becoming Candidate Sacred Son.

After Nascent Soul stage, he passed the Sacred Son Assessment and became the official Xuanwu Sacred Son. After reaching the Spirit Transformation Realm, he inherited the entire Xuanwu lineage and created the Eight Desolations Arena.

Five hundred years ago, the Eight Desolations Saber Saint Power broke through the Sage Manifestation Pass. Gradually, he stopped deliberately concealing his identity and began to openly guard the Four Symbols Secret Realm.

Because of his status as the master of the Xuanwu Lineage Master, many cultivators who inherited the Four Symbols Sect's legacy have gathered under his command, making the Eight Desolations Arena increasingly powerful. It has now become a behemoth that is in no way inferior to the Soaring Phoenix Tower.

After learning all this, Yang Tianyou had many thoughts. Since they were from the same sect, should he let Xuan Ye lead the clan to move to the Four Symbols Island?

With the support of the Eight Desolations Arena, the Lineage will definitely develop very well.

The idea was undoubtedly tempting, but Yang Tianyou quickly rejected it.

The reason is simple: firstly, the Lineage is too weak, and if they rashly rush in to cling to a powerful force, they might end up being swallowed up without a trace.

Secondly, it would easily reveal that Yang Tianyou had obtained the Four Symbols Sect's inheritance.

If you're an ordinary disciple, it's fine; even if you're Core Disciple, it's nothing special.

However, the status of the Candidate Sacred Son is too illustrious, and too enviable and coveted, so one must be extremely cautious.

It's not too late to cooperate with the Eight Desolations Arena when the Lineage becomes stronger; it's too early now.

Of course, during this process, Yang Tianyou can still use other identities to contact the Eight Desolations Arena, such as inner disciple.

Regarding the name, Xiu He is still fine. After passing through the Four Symbols Nine Trials, the Formation will blur some of the cultivator's memories, and this Formation is controllable. At that time, you can just give the Guardian Deity General a heads-up.

Furthermore, the Eight Desolations Saber Saint should know that he has become the White Tiger Sacred Son; it's just unknown what kind of attitude this powerful figure holds towards him.

Shaking his head, Yang Tianyou continued to think.

He had previously planned to leave the Chaotic Sea with five of his clansmen after the Four Symbols Nine Trials were completed, but now he has changed his mind.

He himself had to return within four years because of the Guanghan Immortal-Demon Illusion Realm, which was an agreement he made with Yunhua.

However, not all of the clansmen need to return to the Lineage.

Especially Yang Xuanwu and Yang Tiankang.

The two of them now possess the status of disciples of the Four Symbols Sect, and have a ladder to advance further.

Although they are not like Yang Tianyou, who can freely enter and exit the Four Symbols Secret Realm.

However, this does not mean they will never be able to enter the Four Symbols Secret Realm.

The Four Symbols Sect stipulates that disciples with the status of Sacred Son Attendant are entitled to multiple opportunities for assessment.

This is to cultivate a team for the future Lineage Master the lineage.

Other disciples also have this opportunity, but the requirements are much higher than those for the Sacred Son Attendant.

The specific rules are as follows:

Core Disciples have one chance to Sect Examination every time they break through a major realm. If they pass, they can be promoted to a higher status, becoming Dharma Protector, elder, or even Branch Lineage Master.

After being promoted, you will also receive a large number of Contribution Points as a reward.

Especially for those who become elders or Branch Lineage Master, the Contribution Points awarded are an enormous sum.

Inner disciple and Outer Disciples also have the opportunity to take the assessment.

However, they need to break through two major realms to get a chance to take the assessment.

In other words, Yang Xuanyang, Yang Tianxue, and the other two need to break through to the Nascent Soul realm before they can take the next round of assessments and advance in status.

This span was too long, so after thinking it over, Yang Tianyou decided not to leave them in the Chaotic Sea, leaving only Yang Xuanwu and Yang Tiankang.

Let these two stay on Coiled Snake Island with Yang Xuanye, and leave the Lineage's development plan entirely to Yang Xuanye.

These two individuals were only responsible for secretly protecting the Lineage and diligently cultivating their skills.

Most importantly, quickly break through to the Golden Core Realm, advance your status, and receive the Four Symbols Sect's Contribution Points reward.

In this case, one of the remaining five portions of Spirit Root Modification Resources should be reserved for Sixth Brother Yang Tiankang.

Now that we've made such a good start in this Chaotic Sea, let's increase investment and develop like a snowball.

Once a certain level is reached, connections can be established with the Eight Desolations Arena and the Soaring Phoenix Tower. In this way, the Lineage's position in the Chaotic Sea and even the Southern Sea will be directly opened up!
