The Sun Moon Divine Church Leader's furious roar was like divine thunder from the Ninth Heaven, making the three men's minds buzz and nearly knocking them unconscious.
"One day, if you run into someone who isn't afraid of death, even if you tie the Ultimate Emperor Armament around your waist as a belt, you'll still die!"
The Sun Moon Divine Church Leader hated iron for failing to become steel.
This father and his two sons were growing older by the day, yet their intelligence was becoming more and more worrying.
They were so stupid he wanted nothing more than to slap them to death.
"Do you know what the ninth level of the Approaching Dao Realm means? You don't, but I do!"
The leader said, "This matter ends here. Everyone will pretend it never happened! Send someone to investigate the destruction of the Nether Ghost Palace, but just go through the motions. If anyone asks in the future, say the Blood Demon Clan destroyed it."
"Our church has a weakness in the Backer Sect's hands. Though we could ignore it, now is not the time to tear our faces apart with Yaoguang Holy Land."
"If we can take a step back, then take one. Do as they wish."
Li Chunxiao and Li Qingping stabilized Li Qingchang's nascent soul and hurriedly said, "Yes, we will remember!"
Within the Sun Moon Divine Church, ranks were strictly enforced.
Though the three were elders, and Li Chunxiao was even a Supreme Elder, they were still subordinates before the leader!
"Go receive your punishment. If you make a mistake, you should be severely punished."
The leader's tone was cold. "If you fail again next time, I will show no mercy!"
"Yes!"
"Go."
The three felt as though they had been granted a pardon. They immediately retreated, and once they were farther away, their speed abruptly increased. In the blink of an eye, they vanished.
"With such fools around, this church's future is truly worrying."
The leader rubbed his brow, deeply troubled.
They were over a thousand years old, yet they could not even see through such a trivial matter and had to alarm him.
They were simply stupid beyond measure.
"Backer Sect..."
The leader revealed a faint smile. Behind him, a strange vision of the sun and moon rose.
He was clearly standing there, yet it seemed as though he was no longer within this space.
Two days later, amid the cheers of the Backer Sect's elders and disciples, Yun Tian Zhenren and the others returned in triumph!
After this battle, the Backer Sect had obtained an enormous amount of resources, enough to nurture several peerless talents over the next thousand years.
The Ancestral Land and Ancestral Tomb would surely gain new members!
The five First Seats and the Sect Leader gathered within the Backer Sect to discuss important matters.
Xiaxuan Zhenren said, "Senior Brother Sect Leader, during this incident, our sect revealed quite a bit of its strength. Within the sect..."
"You fear there may be spies from other sects?"
Yun Tian Zhenren smiled unconcernedly. "Backer Ancestor had already considered that long ago. Rest assured, no spy can enter."
Gou Yuan Zhenren asked doubtfully, "Why?"
"Hehe, from the day our sect was founded, a special detection grand formation was established, covering the entire sect. Any spy with impure intentions will be discovered the moment they enter the gates, without exception!"
"Our ancestor was thorough and had thought of countermeasures far in advance."
"Our sect prefers to keep a low profile, so we must guard against all threats with utmost vigilance. Unless we have no other choice, we cannot casually reveal our hand."
Yun Tian Zhenren was glowing with health.
This battle had made the Backer Sect rich in a single wave. Saying they were swimming in oil would not be an exaggeration. He was immensely pleased.
With these resources, the Backer Sect's hidden strength would absolutely rise to another level!
Tianji Zhenren snorted and said, "Even we didn't know about this. It was hidden quite deeply!"
He was extremely displeased, resentment gleaming in his eyes. He looked as though he wanted to punch everyone he saw.
The others wisely ignored him, but Xiaxuan Zhenren had not participated in the battle against the Blood Demon Clan and did not understand what was going on.
"Senior Brother Tianji, what happened to you..."
"Junior Sister!"
Tianji Zhenren immediately fixed his reddened eyes on her. "Tell me honestly, how much have you been hiding?"
Xiaxuan Zhenren was stunned. Was that something she could casually reveal?
She roughly understood why Tianji Zhenren was so unhappy.
He must have lost face in the Blood Demon Clan battle. Most likely, he had failed to outdo several of his senior brothers and was feeling bitter about it.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "This junior sister hasn't hidden much. I only just broke through to the sixth level."
Those words were as sweet as honey to his ears. Tianji Zhenren's lips curled slightly as he gave a low snort. "I never intended to compare myself with Junior Sister."
"Pfft..."
Gou Yuan Zhenren could barely hold it in. This old fellow truly cared too much about saving face.
Wuji Zhenren said nothing, while Di Shen Zhenren closed his eyes to rest, wearing an expression that said none of this had anything to do with him.
"Enough."
Yun Tian Zhenren said, "You need not concern yourselves with the sect's trivial affairs. The Sect Leader will have the Sect Leader's Canon to consult."
"It records the management experiences and precautions of every Sect Leader, from Backer Ancestor down to my generation. So there is no need to worry about security."
Everyone nodded.
Yun Tian Zhenren continued, "This time, our sect has obtained countless resources, including sacred weapons and magical artifacts. Later, I will draw up a distribution plan and allocate the resources to every peak."
"I hope my junior brothers can break through to the Approaching Dao Realm as soon as possible. The sect's Ancestral Land needs fresh blood."
Upon hearing this, Gou Yuan Zhenren wore a strange expression. "Sect Leader, isn't that a little too early? I'm only a few hundred years old. If I suddenly pass away in meditation, no one would believe it."
Yun Tian Zhenren said, "You can die in an accident. I've already thought it through for you."
Everyone: "..."
"You may all leave. The resource allocations will be delivered to you shortly."
"Junior Brother Di Shen, stay behind."
Gou Yuan Zhenren and the others cast Di Shen Zhenren strange glances before quietly departing.
Only Yun Tian Zhenren and Di Shen Zhenren remained to discuss important matters.
On Daoyuan Peak.
Ye Bufan was sparring with Mu Qiuxue.
One possessed the Ancient Sacred Body, while the other possessed the Flawed Shadow Immortal Body. The clash of special physiques was exceptionally spectacular.
The two fought back and forth, the battle fierce.
Yet Ye Bufan clearly held the upper hand.
Mu Qiuxue was ostensibly at the second level of the Core Formation Realm, but when facing Ye Bufan, who was at the first level of the Core Formation Realm, she could only rely on her advantage in cultivation to receive his moves.
Fortunately, Ye Bufan had cultivated for too short a time and lacked experience. Only then could Mu Qiuxue barely hold her ground with her cultivation one level higher.
"As expected of the Ancient Sacred Body. Qiuxue will find it difficult to defeat him."
Hua Yunfei took a sip of tea and was fairly satisfied with Ye Bufan's combat strength.
This was how an Ancient Sacred Body should be.
However, he had an even bolder idea.
Since he had already decided to make Ye Bufan his inheritor and the next First Seat of Daoyuan Peak,
then what he was doing now was still not enough.
Hua Yunfei wanted Ye Bufan to become the strongest Sacred Body since ancient times!
To surpass the one who had compiled the Heavenly Emperor Scripture!
This was the small goal he had set for Ye Bufan.
"Bufan."
Hua Yunfei called Ye Bufan over and said, "You have been in the sect for several days now and have performed well. It is time to pass down the sect's true core cultivation technique to you!"
"Thank you, Master!" Ye Bufan revealed a delighted expression.
Hua Yunfei took out a small booklet and handed it to him. "This is the Unfathomable Concealment Art, our sect's core cultivation technique. Cultivate it well."
"The Unfathomable Concealment Art?"
Ye Bufan looked puzzled. This seemed to be a concealment technique, didn't it?
