Volume One, Chapter 90
If they died, they would lose eight top-tier combatants, so they had to wait until Ziyue Wan and the others reached a certain level of cultivation.
In fact, Ziyue Wan and the other eight were already not weak. Perhaps the previous generation of eight elders would die within a few years.
This was the tradition of the Eight Suns Dragon Sect—passing down the Eight Suns Dragon Sect's inheritance from one generation to the next.
Why had the previous sect master died while the eight of them were still alive?
Zhao Fu was also very curious. After asking, he learned that the main reason was related to the Eight Suns Dragon Sect's Land of Inheritance, the Eight Dragon Cave.
The Eight Dragon Cave could keep the eight elders from dying and grant them extremely long lifespans. However, those elders had to remain in the Eight Dragon Cave frequently. If they left it, they would rapidly age, and if they did not return for too long, they would die.
That was also why they were rarely seen.
Even eliminating the sect master might not be enough to control the Eight Suns Dragon Sect, because the others would still obey the orders of the eight elders.
Zhao Fu said, "Take me to the Eight Dragon Cave!"
Ziyue Wan said in surprise, "You're just going like this? The eight elders have already surpassed the Heaven and Earth Realm, and they receive a powerful boost within the Eight Dragon Cave."
Zhao Fu said confidently, "You don't need to worry. Just take me there."
After thinking it over, Ziyue Wan nodded.
Ziyue Wan brought Zhao Fu before a massive cave. It led straight underground and was only several dozen meters wide. Stone bricks covered the ground and cave walls all around it.
