The Heavenly Hut Sect Master's Invitation

"Thank you for the gift, True Lord."

Upon hearing this, everyone showed expressions of surprise and delight.

They weren't forging Tier 5 Treasure Ship for nothing. During this period, they earned a sum of Spirit Stone for each piece of spirit wood they refined. Although the profit was pitifully low compared to refining Tier 2 Law Treasure, the Chen Clan had a huge amount of resources.

Each person processed several hundred pieces of Tier 2 spirit wood, which raised the crafting skills of the Tier 2 Artifact Refiner present by at least one or two levels.

Chen Nianzhi paid no attention to the people's thanks. He was in a great mood after successfully refining the Tier 5 Treasure Ship, so he left and flew towards Azure Lotus Isle.

As soon as he returned to Azure Lotus Isle, he found Chen Changxuan had come looking for him. Upon meeting him, Chen Changxuan said, "A few days ago, the Second Elder of the Heavenly Hut Sect came to Qingyuan Mountain, saying that he would like to invite you to Heavenly Hut Mountain for a chat."

"Heavenly Hut Sect?"

Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong exchanged a glance, their eyes flickering slightly as they said, "Inviting us for a face-to-face meeting suggests that the enemy in the Infernal Flame Sea is more troublesome than we anticipated."

Seeing this, the Old Clan Leader nodded and said, "In recent years, news has come from the Heavenly Hut Continent that the Heavenly Hut Sect recently retreated from the Infernal Flame Sea, clearly suffering a silent loss."

"In that case, I'll go take a look first."

Jiang Linglong also said that she and Chen Nianzhi set off for the Heavenly Hut Continent together.

When the two arrived at Heavenly Hut Mountain, they found that the Second Elder of Tianlu Long-Bearded True Lord, had been waiting for them for a long time.

Upon seeing the two, the Long-Bearded True Lord said with delight, "You two have come from afar, and it would be right for our Sect Leader to personally greet you. However, our Sect Leader is currently unwell, so we hope you two fellow Daoists will not take offense."

"Oh?" Chen Nianzhi exchanged a glance with Jiang Linglong, then smiled calmly and said, "It's just a small matter, no need for such formalities."

The Long-Bearded Daoist nodded and gestured, "Please follow me, both of you."

The group walked towards Heavenly Hut Mountain, and soon after, they met the Heavenly Hut Sect in a Spirit Spring cave.

Inside the cave, the Heavenly Hut Sect, dressed in a Daoist robe, coughed twice, his face pale, before saying with some envy, "It's been many years since we last met. I didn't expect that both of you fellow Daoists have made such rapid progress in your cultivation."

"It's a pity that I'm still stuck at the Sixth Nascent Soul Layer realm, unable to advance any further for a thousand years."

Chen Nianzhi's eyes flickered slightly. This Heavenly Hut Sect was Earth Dao Nascent Soul. For such cultivators, the Nascent Soul Late Stage was a huge hurdle, and the hope of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage on their own was extremely slim.

Even with the help of the Heavenly Dao Pill, the chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage stage are no more than 30%. If one's Law Power is slightly weaker, the hope is even more slim.

The Heavenly Hut Sect purchased Heavenly Dao Pill several times in an attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage, almost exhausting most of the Heavenly Hut Sect's resources, but unfortunately, he still could not break through to that realm.

With this thought in mind, Chen Nianzhi couldn't help but feel worried about the Old Clan Leader's Dao Path.

He took a deep breath, paused for a moment, then remembered the important matter and said, "Fellow Daoist, did you seek me out this time because of the Flame Demon in the Infernal Flame Sea?"

"Fellow Daoist is indeed incredibly insightful."

Upon hearing this, Heavenly Hut Sect nodded, a look of seriousness on his face.

He hesitated for a moment, seemingly wanting to say something, but also somewhat holding back.

Seeing this, Chen Nianzhi said, "If you truly want to ask for help, you should explain the situation."

"Well..."

The Heavenly Hut Sect sighed and then began to tell the story in detail.

As he explained, Chen Nianzhi quickly understood the situation in the Infernal Flame Sea.

The Infernal Flame Sea was originally the Demonic Cultivator Forbidden Ground Blood Demon Ridge, a forbidden area for demonic cultivators. It was occupied by the Blood Demon Dao Lord and was the largest Demonic Cultivator Forbidden Ground in the Eastern Wilderness.

Who is that Blood Demon Dao Lord? His cultivation has reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Primordial Spirit, making him one of the top three supreme experts in this realm.

The Blood Demon Reincarnation Art he created, and the cultivation method of the Nine Blood Demon Child, are among the top three supreme Demonic Path Divine Ability in this world.

At that time, the Blood Demon Dao Lord was unparalleled in power. The nine Blood Demon Child alone were equivalent to nine Primordial Spirit Dao Lord, and their power overwhelmed the Eastern Wilderness. He was known as the number one Demonic Path in the Purple Yin Realm.

The collapse and destruction of the entire Eastern Sea Cultivation World, and even the Eastern Wilderness, back then were directly related to the Blood Demon Dao Lord.

The Blood God Dao Lord, who now reigns supreme in the Eastern Sea Cultivation World, was merely a disciple of the Blood Demon Ancestor back then, and was not considered a remarkable figure.

Such Demonic Path Titan, dominating the Eastern Wilderness, is naturally a major threat to Human Race cultivators.

Later, Emperor Jiang came from the Central Ancestral Domain, and his first major enemy along the way was this Blood Demon Ancestor. The two fought a total of three battles.

In the final battle, Emperor Jiang's cultivation had reached Near-Immortal Realm, and he single-handedly annihilated the Blood Demon Ridge.

However, the Blood Demon Ancestor possessed astonishing combat power, and he was not so easy to kill.

In order to kill him completely, Emperor Jiang had no choice but to break apart a Pure Yang Supreme Treasure, piercing through the earth's core beneath Blood Demon Ridge, unleashing endless Earthfire power that completely burned Blood Demon Ridge, transforming it into the million-mile-long Infernal Flame Sea it is today.

Recalling this past event, Heavenly Hut Sect took another deep breath and said, "After the destruction of Blood Demon Ridge, the boundless essence of Fire Vein surging from the earth's core converged in the Infernal Flame Sea, actually forming a Tier 5 Upper Grade Subterranean Fire Vein."

"Unexpectedly, after the destruction of Blood Demon Ridge, the Rootless Demonic Energy also poured into the Subterranean Fire Vein, combining with the essence of the Fire Vein. After thousands of years of gestation, it actually gave birth to the Flame Demon Race."

Chen Nianzhi listened to his detailed explanation, and after a long while, she took a deep breath.

He exchanged a glance with Jiang Linglong, and only then did he understand the origin of the Scarlet Flame True Lord in the ruins of the Sun-Moon Sect.

Indeed, the Scarlet Flame True Lord in those ruins was born from Tier 5 Upper Grade Subterranean Fire Vein, yet he was not completely corrupted by demonic energy.

So he fled the Subterranean Fire Vein, and could only escape to the ruins of the Heavenly Hut Sect by following the power of the Subterranean Fire Vein, where he confronted the Sun-Moon Twin Wheels for thousands of years.

After understanding these things, Chen Nianzhi felt a little excited. That was a Tier 5 Upper Grade Earth Vein, and the treasures it nurtured would probably be of great use even to Nascent Soul Late Stage.

Thinking of this, he asked with a solemn expression, "How strong is the Flame Demon Race in the Infernal Flame Sea? They actually managed to defeat you, fellow Daoist?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Linglong's gaze sharpened slightly. The Heavenly Hut Sect had five Nascent Soul, and even the Heavenly Hut Sect, whose cultivation had one foot in the Nascent Soul Late Stage stage, was helpless against them.

Furthermore, the Heavenly Hut Sect possesses the Heavenly Furnace Token, their most treasured artifact. Logically speaking, even Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator might not be able to suppress them.

Hearing this, Heavenly Hut Sect shook his head and said solemnly, "Within that Infernal Flame Sea, there are five Flame Demon True Lord whose cultivation has reached the True Lord realm."
