After returning to the Fire Division, Lin Langtian's days returned to their usual tranquility.

However, in secret, the many disciples of the Fire Division had some interesting topics to discuss, and these topics naturally revolved around Lin Langtian's defeat of Wang Yan, which greatly enhanced the prestige of the Yuan Sect.

As the second most wanted person on the Blood Rock Land Sect Wanted List, and also a member of their mortal enemy, the Dao Sect, Wang Yan has caused the deaths of many Yuan Sect disciples over the years.

Therefore, the news of Lin Langtian's defeat of Wang Yan spread quickly, which inevitably caused a series of shocks. Many Yuan Sect disciples were secretly amazed and envious of Lin Langtian's talent.

It was precisely because of this dazzling achievement that Lin Langtian was able to firmly establish himself in the Yuan Sect. His status as Fire Division Spirit General not only elevated his position within the Fire Division, but his position as the Deputy Chief of the Enforcement Department further made him a powerful figure within the Yuan Sect.

It should be understood that the Enforcement Department is a special department within the Yuan Sect. Although it is not among the Eight Divisions, everyone knows that in any power, the law enforcement agency is a powerful and influential department.

According to the rules of the Yuan Sect, the Enforcement Department is ranked above the Eight Divisions and only obeys the orders of the Three Grand Masters.

For Lin Langtian, a mere disciple, to be promoted to the Deputy Chief of the Enforcement Department is clearly a promotion that bypasses his usual rank.

Even though some doubts occasionally arose among the higher-ups and ordinary disciples of the Yuan Sect, they gradually disappeared thanks to Lin Langtian's contributions and the Sect Leader's persistence.

When the disciples of the Fire Division meet Lin Langtian, even those with more seniority than him, they are always full of respect and bow to call him Senior Brother.

As for the previous Spirit General Ling Chi, he will likely be gradually forgotten as time goes by.

Although Lin Langtian didn't care much about this treatment, he knew that he had now truly entered the sights of the Yuan Sect's higher-ups.

As he rises step by step, he may one day seize power in the Yuan Sect, or even replace the Three Grand Masters.

Of course, Lin Langtian is only thinking about this idea for now, after all, the process is too dangerous, and with his current strength, it is still a long way from achieving this goal.

As for the position of Deputy Chief of the Enforcement Department, although Lin Langtian held this position, with his current Nirvana Stage strength, he didn't interfere much in its affairs except for occasionally going to the Enforcement Department to clock in and report.

Besides the impact on Lin Langtian himself, the trip to Blood Rock Land was also a great thing for Mo Tie and the other disciples who joined the Fire Division along with Lin Langtian.

Within the Fire Division, competition is fierce and there are many people, so competition and factionalism are inevitable.

Under normal circumstances, these newly joined disciples have the lowest status because they have no one to rely on, and naturally, they are inferior to some of the veteran disciples in terms of cultivation conditions.

But this time, with Lin Langtian becoming Fire Division Spirit General and firmly establishing himself in the Yuan Sect, these new disciples now have a strong backer.

Furthermore, thanks to Lin Langtian's reputation, the veteran disciples of the Fire Division not only dared not make things too difficult for them, but even began to curry favor with Mo Tie and the others.

In addition, Song Yun and others who were subdued by Blood Rock Land have unknowingly gathered a considerable number of disciples behind him, and there are faint signs of a new faction that follows him.

Many intelligent people within the Fire Division noticed this sign, and Ling Chi was one of them.

As the previous Spirit General of the Fire Division, Ling Chi was extremely dissatisfied after being defeated by Lin Langtian, even though it was because he was not as strong as the latter.

Therefore, when Ling Chi harbored resentment towards the triumphant Lin Langtian Lin Langtian, he went to great lengths to trip him up.

Although Ling Chi is no longer Fire Division Spirit General, he has held that position for many years. Therefore, relying on his past prestige, he has still gathered a large number of trusted subordinates to secretly oppose Lin Langtian.

Therefore, the Fire Division was divided into three major factions in a short period of time: one was the emerging faction led by Lin Langtian, another was the old Spirit General faction led by Ling Chi, and the last was a neutral faction that did not care about anything.

Faced with the challenge from Ling Chi, a defeated opponent, Lin Langtian smiled faintly. He didn't even personally intervene, but instead handed the matter over to his subordinates.

He is no longer the lone wolf he once was. Besides Mo Tie and others, Song Yun and others are now his capable assistants.

In particular, after Su Qi returned to the Yuan Sect, he was promoted to the ninth Personal Disciple Grand Disciple of the Fire Division. This means that Lin Langtian's faction now accounts for four of the nine Personal Disciple Grand Disciple of the Fire Division, making it the largest faction in the Fire Division.

Therefore, even if Ling Chi wanted to challenge Lin Langtian's authority, he could only suffer in the face of the prevailing trend.

Under the constant suppression from Lin Langtian's faction, Ling Chi's faction is finding it increasingly difficult to survive.

Over time, the morale of Ling Chi's subordinates began to waver, and many even deserted Ling Chi's command. In just half a month, this faction that attempted to oppose Lin Langtian rapidly declined, leaving only some of Ling Chi's loyal followers struggling to hold on. It was only a matter of time before it collapsed.

As for Lin Langtian, he spent most of the month after returning to the Yuan Sect in seclusion cultivating on his own small mountain peak.

In the quiet room, a tall, slender figure sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

This person was none other than Lin Langtian.

Time passed indefinitely. At a certain moment, a surge of powerful Mental Power suddenly roared out from Lin Langtian's Mud Pill Palace, and instantly, dark clouds gathered in the sky outside the room.

If there were any Symbol Master present, they would be surprised to find that these dark clouds were the Wind Lightning Tribulation that all Symbol Master feared!

"Boom!"

The next moment, thunder suddenly roared in the sky, dark clouds rolled, and then a bolt of lightning, about ten feet thick, tore through the sky and blasted towards Lin Langtian below with lightning speed.

Lightning was incredibly fast, rushing into the room in the blink of an eye and mercilessly blasting towards Lin Langtian's crown.

Call out!

However, just as the lightning was about to strike Lin Langtian, a very hidden black hole spread out directly from above Lin Langtian's head, and then, like a bottomless pit, swallowed the raging lightning python whole.

Under Spirit Aunt's careful cover, Lin Langtian can now use the power of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol with extreme caution within the Yuan Sect without worrying about being discovered by the Three Grand Masters.

Sizzle!

As the lightning surged into the black hole, Lin Langtian's body trembled violently, with arcs of electricity dancing across his surface, creating a dazzling spectacle.

Lin Langtian's face twitched slightly as the lightning rushed into the black hole, revealing a hint of pain, but he quickly suppressed it.

"Boom!"

Above the sky, after the first bolt of lightning struck, the dark clouds began to churn more violently.

Just moments later, massive bolts of lightning, accompanied by deafening roars, rained down like a torrential downpour.

The lightning that was raining down from the sky finally began to subside after more than ten minutes.

As the last bolt of lightning struck, the pervasive dark clouds finally dissipated, and the Wind Lightning Tribulation came to a complete end.

"Laugh!"

The next instant, Lin Langtian's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, a dazzling light flashed from his pupils, and an incomparably powerful Mental Power surged out from his body.

"Eight Seal Heavenly Talisman Master!"

Sensing the formidable Mental Power now, Lin Langtian stood up, a smile slowly curving his lips, a hint of joy in his eyes.

Since the Heavenly Talisman Spirit Tree matured, his Mental Power cultivation has been advancing by leaps and bounds. In the past month, he has devoured Twenty Heavenly Talisman Spirit Trees in succession. Finally, his hard work has not been in vain, and his Mental Power has reached the level of Eight Seal Heavenly Talisman Master!

The Mental Power of Eight Seal Heavenly Talisman Master is enough to place him among the core disciples even in Fu Valley and God Sect, which specialize in Mental Power. In the Yuan Sect, which focuses on Yuan power, he is even more proudly at the top.

With Lin Langtian's current strength as Eight Yuan Nirvana Stage cultivator and Eight Seal Heavenly Talisman Master, if he were to encounter Life Profound Stage expert like Mu Ku, he would be confident in fighting him even without activating his Demon Seed state!

Thinking of this, Lin Langtian smiled slightly, and was about to stretch when his expression suddenly changed.

He could sense that a strange and powerful energy suddenly emanated from that area, spreading outwards... towards the Fire Division...

Just then, several hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, followed by Mo Tie's familiar voice, which was also panting.

"Senior Brother, the Flame Demon Space has opened..."

Deep within the Fire Division lies an extremely massive mountain, and above this mountain, a colossal Fire River roars past.

At this moment, the Fire River, which never stopped flowing, began to exhibit some strange behavior. Not only did its roaring speed slow down, but also, within the Fire River, streams of immense molten energy were continuously pouring down.

Its appearance was as if a giant hole had been torn open in the Milky Way...

The molten energy, like a torrent, rushed down and finally poured onto that enormous mountain peak.

Buzz!

Under the sustenance of the Fire River, the mountain began to tremble, with rocks constantly falling and huge cracks appearing at its summit.

Whoosh!

As the mountain peak underwent a dramatic change, countless whooshing sounds of wind quickly echoed from the surrounding sky.

In just a few minutes, the surrounding sky, giant trees, and mountain peaks were almost entirely filled with a dense sea of people.

In an instant, this once tranquil mountain forest became incredibly lively.

The clamor and discussions converged and spread out in a jarring manner, even shaking away the clouds in the sky.

These figures were not only disciples of the Fire Division, but also some disciples from the other Seven Divisions who came out of curiosity.

Such a situation, where all Eight Divisions disciples gather together, is extremely rare in the Yuan Sect, except for the Division Trial.

This shows the high regard in which the Chaos Abyssal Demon Flame is held by the disciples of the Yuan Sect ...

Call out!

Several streaks of rainbow light suddenly streaked across the distant horizon, finally appearing before the mountain closest to the one that had undergone the dramatic change. The two at the front were none other than Fen Cang and Yan Ba.

Beside them followed seven others, all of whom were quite old and possessed powerful and profound auras, no less than Fen Cang.

These seven people were none other than the heads of the other Seven Divisions of the Yuan Sect!

This time, the opening of the Flame Demon Space actually attracted all the heads of the Seven Divisions...

"So many important figures have come..."

High in the air, Song Yun, one of the Personal Disciple Grand Disciple of the Fire Division, looked at the figures in front of him and couldn't help but click his tongue and laugh.

"There's nothing strange about that. Apart from a few department heads, I think even some elders are watching this place from the shadows. With the talent that Senior Brother has shown, I'm afraid no one will question whether his subduing of the Chaos Abyssal Demon Flame is just empty talk anymore," Pang Lie said.

"If Senior Brother can truly subdue the Chaos Abyssal Demon Flame, then our Fire Division might one day surpass the Heaven Division and become the leader of the Eight Divisions. Even the Three Young Kings, Senior Brother might not necessarily lose to them in the future." Su Qi stared at the shaking mountain peak, eager to try.

Upon hearing this, Song Yun and the other man remained silent for a moment.

As the most Personal Disciple Grand Disciple of the Fire Division, they were well aware of the difficulty in subduing the Chaos Abyssal Demon Flame.

For hundreds of years, every time the Flame Demon Space opened, it ended in disappointment. I wonder if this time will be an exception.

However, what they were certain of was that if Lin Langtian subdue the Chaos Abyssal Demon Flame, his prestige would definitely reach a level comparable to the Three Young Kings.

"Where's Senior Brother? Hasn't he arrived yet?" Su Qi looked around and asked in surprise.

"Mo Tie and the others have already gone to Senior Brother's residence; they should be arriving soon," Pang Lie said.

"Speaking of which, the events of the past few months have felt like a dream. Who would have thought that we would end up serving under a disciple who has only been with the Fire Division for half a year?"

"But speaking of which, my Senior Brother is indeed very generous. After I refined the Sub-Flame of the Vermilion Bird Sky Burning Flame, I felt that the power of the Flame Emperor Canon increased by more than 30%..." Song Yun exclaimed.

"Yes, although our Senior Brother is a newcomer, he is incredibly strong. His becoming Spirit General is a great blessing for both the Fire Division and us." Pang Lie nodded in agreement.

"I can sense that Senior Brother is definitely not an ordinary person. There's no need for us to be sentimental. We should just follow his Senior Brother and do our jobs well from now on. As for the benefits, Senior Brother will not treat us unfairly," Su Qi said with a light laugh.

Upon hearing this, Song Yun and the other person naturally nodded. Just as they were about to speak, a large number of whooshing sounds came from afar, and then dozens of figures swept over and landed not far from them.

The appearance of this group caused a stir among the Yuan Sect disciples around them, and their gazes toward them became more respectful.

Upon seeing these people, Song Yun exclaimed in surprise, "It's the Three Young Kings and the Spirit General from the other Seven Divisions! They actually came too..."
