Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 101 Holy Sect

As time went by, the Black Seal City Pill Auction finally opened amidst the anticipation of countless people.

On the opening day, the thick, pungent smell of blood emanating from the black-clad figures standing like statues outside the auction hall instilled a sense of oppression and dread in everyone present.

The last Black Seal auction directly caused a major upheaval in the entire Black Corner Region.

All the members who participated in the auction, including hundreds of powerful individuals at the Dou Ling and Dou Wang levels, perished, indirectly leading to the complete annihilation of the original forces in the Black Corner Region!

At this moment, another auction in the Black Corner Region is being held. What will happen, and how will it change the Black Corner Region? Nobody knows.

They were afraid.

They are worried.

But we had no choice but to come!

The auction house was a high vantage point offering a panoramic view of the spacious area below. The woman in green gazed at the surging crowd below, then shifted her gaze to the man in black robes beside her.

"I never expected that you would actually be accepted by the sect leader... Your Excellency the Medicine King."

"I am willing to die for the Sect Master, why won't the Sect Master accept me?"

Han Feng calmly said, "I have already sent a message to my old subordinates that after today's auction, all the alchemists in Fengcheng will join our Holy Rain Sect to refine pills."

Upon hearing this, the man in green's eyes lit up.

Because of Han Feng, Maple City holds an extremely special position in the Black Corner Region. This is not only because of Han Feng, a peak sixth-grade alchemist, but also because of Han Feng's powerful ability to gather, which attracts countless alchemists to Maple City and make them his disciples.

If this power could be fully mastered by the Holy Rain Sect, it would be a huge boost for the sect!

"Your Excellency the Medicine King is very kind."

"Everything is the sect leader's will."

"In the past few days, almost all the forces in the Black Corner Region that received invitations have arrived. Therefore, there should be no problem with the holding of this auction."

"With that person in charge, what problems could there be?"

Beside the man in green, Han Feng sneered and said calmly, "The future of the Black Corner Region is destined to belong to the Holy Rain Sect. If these small sects and forces hadn't come today, would they still have a place to survive in the Black Corner Region?"

The man in green glanced at Han Feng with a strange expression. Back then, this Medicine King had fought against Lin Ran and the Holy Rain Sect.

He used to constantly gather powerful figures from the Black Corner Region in Maple City, but now he's in this state, wholeheartedly devoted to the Holy Rain Sect.

Is this the charm of the Sect Master?!

"I have examined all the medicinal herbs that the Sect Master needs, and there happen to be several of them in my Maple City inventory. I will deliver them all to the Sect Master after the auction."

Han Feng spoke, pausing slightly before tentatively asking, "Elder Green, do you know how many people within the sect have possessed the Sacred Jade Token?"

The Holy Token in Han Feng's hand is a Golden Token. Above him in the Holy Rain Sect are only the owners of twelve Holy Jade Tokens.

Seeing the former Medicine King with such an expression, the man in green found it somewhat amusing.

"Your Excellency the Medicine King is joking. The distribution of the three orders is decided by the sect leader himself. How could I possibly know who received them?"

"..."

You don't know anything? You've practically been in charge of managing the Holy Rain Sect, how could you not know?

However, since the woman in green had said that, Han Feng didn't press the matter further, but there was one thing he was already certain of.

That is the holy decree held by the green-robed man in front of him, which must be no less powerful than his own.

even……

It is very likely one of those twelve jade tokens.

Otherwise, how could a mere three-star Dou Huang possess such great authority?

As the two talked, the spacious auction hall below gradually filled with a sea of ​​people. The dark mass of people stretched as far as the eye could see, and the clamor and shouts mingled together, seemingly about to break through the ceiling.

Some prominent figures and leaders of forces in the Black Corner Region occasionally sighed to each other, their eyes darting around, their thoughts swirling in and out of their minds.

The auction did not have any assigned seating; instead, seats were allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

Therefore, some familiar people would gather together to discuss what would happen at the auction. Among them, the most eye-catching place was the northwest corner of the auction, where several of the last remaining Dou Huang powerhouses of the Black Corner Region were gathered.

"Almost, it's my turn to make my appearance," Han Feng murmured.

The woman in green covered her mouth and chuckled, "The appearance of the Medicine King will surely leave everyone present speechless with astonishment."

"..."

"clang!"

In the noisy auction hall, a clear bell suddenly rang out, and the commotion gradually subsided. All eyes in the hall slowly focused on the auction stage.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, the space on the empty platform distorted for a moment, and the next moment, Han Feng's figure, dressed in a black robe, slowly emerged from it, stood calmly on the platform, and cupped his hands in greeting to the four directions.

"A Dou Zong level expert?!"

"Besides Sect Master Lin Ran, the Holy Rain Sect actually has a Dou Zong expert? How is that possible?!"

"Is this the true strength of the Holy Rain Sect?"

The appearance of a Dou Zong powerhouse caused countless Black Corner Domain experts to tremble with fear, their inner terror growing ever stronger.

"Why are you all so nervous? Today is a pill auction, and our sect is counting on your enthusiasm to scramble for the pills."

Accompanied by slightly joking words, and amidst the incredulous gazes of countless people, Han Feng removed his black robe, revealing a face that was all too familiar to them.

In an instant, the entire audience erupted in uproar!

"Han, Han Feng?!"

"The Medicine King? How could he possibly be the Medicine King!"

"Wasn't he killed by Lin Ran? How come he's here?"

"Holy crap, could it be...?"

Incredulous gasps rose and fell, and almost everyone in the audience stared at Han Feng in disbelief, their faces full of astonishment.

Everyone thought Han Feng had died at Lin Ran's hands, but who would have thought that Han Feng not only didn't die, but also joined the Holy Rain Sect, and judging from his appearance, he even broke through to the Dou Zong level!

"This guy... he probably already has ties to the Holy Rain Sect..."

In the corner, the young master of Demon Flame Valley clenched his fists, staring intently at Han Feng, his mind instantly conjuring up countless scenarios.

What? Han Feng joined forces with Lin Ran to assassinate many powerful figures in the Black Corner Region in order to gain control of the entire region.

In order to break through to the Dou Zong realm, Han Feng submitted to Lin Ran and betrayed the powerful figures of the Black Corner Region.

A jumble of chaotic thoughts swirled in the mind of this once powerful figure in the Black Corner Region, who was practically the highest authority there. But in the end, he could only loosen his fist.

No matter how unwilling or angry you are, what can you do?

The old demon is dead.

The pillars of all the major sects in the Black Corner Region are no longer here.

In the Black Corner Region today, the Holy Rain Sect is the king, and Han Feng, at the Dou Zong level, is the undisputed overlord!

Sensing the various expressions in everyone's eyes, Han Feng knew perfectly well what they were thinking.

But so what?

The terrifying aura of a Dou Zong expert roared out from Han Feng's body. A smile appeared on his slightly ugly face as he laughed loudly, "I am Han Feng. You should all know my sect. I am in charge of the Holy Sect Golden Token. Today, I am representing the sect master to hold this auction. If there is any negligence, I hope you will forgive me."

really! !

Han Feng's words immediately caused a stir among the crowd.

This guy did indeed join the Holy Rain Sect, and even obtained the Holy Rain Sect's Golden Token, holding a high position!

It seems that the deaths of the powerful figures in the Black Corner Region, as well as the old demon, were all part of his and Lin Ran's scheme!

Countless eyes flickered, some with disdain, others with apprehension, but not a single person spoke.

Putting aside Han Feng's terrifying Dou Zong aura, the Black Corner Region has never had fairness, only victory and defeat since ancient times.

Regardless of the means used, the victors now are Han Feng and Lin Ran, and that's enough. All the losers have to do is this:

Submission.

Seeing the commotion caused by his entrance, Han Feng said nothing, but clapped his hands with a smile. Two attendants immediately carried in several pills. On the silver tray, a small jade bottle attracted particular attention.

"Without further ado, everyone, next up is the first type of elixir we will be auctioning."

"Battle Spirit Pill!"

The auction officially began, and everyone put aside their complicated emotions and began to participate in the auction.

In any case, the Holy Rain Sect's power is now an unstoppable fact. All they can do now is submit. Even if they don't submit, they should at least show their friendliness and sincerity to avoid being wiped out by the Holy Rain Sect.

Upon seeing the pills appear, many sects and forces immediately offered prices in the millions, far exceeding the value of the Battle Spirit Pill itself. This caused many rogue cultivators who had come specifically to buy the pills to twitch in disbelief.

No way, you guys are just sycophantic like this?!

We independent cultivators also need these elixirs, don't we!

……

The auction lasted for almost a day before finally coming to a perfect end as dusk fell.

Even though Green Robe had anticipated the outcome of the auction, he still felt a sense of joy when he heard his subordinates' report. In terms of gold coins, it amounted to nearly one billion!

According to the original estimate, the value of that batch of pills was only about 100 million gold coins, but it was inflated tenfold.

It seems that the various forces in the Black Corner Region are still quite loyal.

With this huge sum of money, not only can the Holy Rain Sect handle the needs of its early development, but it can also attract countless powerful individuals to join the Holy Rain Sect.

A wealthy and profound sect is always somewhat attractive.

The auction concluded successfully.

The successful auction not only brought great profits to the Holy Rain Sect, but also put the minds of many forces in the Black Corner Region at ease.

Of course, after the auction, Han Feng made a grand gesture and announced on the spot that Maple City would become part of the Holy Rain Sect, and all the alchemists under his command would join the Holy Rain Sect.

The entire audience erupted in cheers once again.

"If any of my fellow alchemists wish to join our sect, we will do our utmost to help you improve your alchemy skills."

Han Feng smiled faintly and said, "I am a peak sixth-grade alchemist, and the sect leader is now a seventh-grade alchemist. I think with our help, you all should understand what this means."

Upon hearing this, every alchemist present looked on with fervent interest.

The guidance of two high-level alchemists is an opportunity that is priceless!

In an instant, countless alchemists were filled with thoughts.

After Han Feng finished speaking, before the crowd dispersed, the woman in green slowly made her entrance.

"The Holy Rain Sect is very satisfied with the holding and results of today's auction, and I think you all should be too."

"Although it is late, there are still some things that my sect would like to tell you all, but I will have to take up a little more of your time."

Upon hearing this, everyone said it wouldn't be a delay or trouble, and held their breath, waiting for good news.

They all knew that what followed was the real big deal!

The man in green glanced around and, without further ado, got straight to the point.

"Everyone is aware of the current situation in the Black Corner Region. The reason why the Black Corner Region has been able to survive between the three great empires is because of the mixed forces and formidable strength of the Black Corner Region."

"But as time goes by, the overall strength of the Black Corner Region has not increased much, but has instead declined. Although the situation in the Black Corner Region is getting better and better, its status will inevitably decline significantly due to its strength, and it may even attract the Empire's encirclement and suppression! I think you all have lived in the Black Corner Region for so long, and you don't want to see such a thing happen."

"..."

Upon hearing this, most of the people present twitched their lips slightly.

The situation in the Black Corner Region is getting better and better, and it's your Holy Rain Sect's situation that's getting better and better.

Don't you have any idea why the overall strength of the Black Corner Region has declined? If your sect leader hadn't slaughtered hundreds of Black Corner Region powerhouses, dozens of Dou Huangs, and two Dou Zongs, would the overall strength of the Black Corner Region have fallen to this level?!

Of course, they only dared to imagine these words in their hearts; they would never dare to say them aloud.

However, although that's how things happened, what the woman in green said wasn't entirely wrong.

With the overall strength of the Black Corner Region declining, there is indeed a possibility that it will be besieged by other empires in the future.

after all.

No one wants an uncontrolled place that poses a significant threat to their country's borders.

"This is a situation that our Holy Rain Sect does not wish to see."

The man in green spoke in a deep voice: "As a member of the Black Corner Region, the Holy Rain Sect naturally has the responsibility and obligation to lead the Black Corner Region to a more prosperous future."

"I'm afraid you're not familiar with the structure of our sect. Our sect is divided into inner and outer parts; the inner part is the sect, and the outer part is the alliance. I'm telling you all this today in the hope that you will also be able to join the outer alliance. I believe that once you join, your status and gains in the future will be far greater than they are now!"

After the green-robed figure finished speaking, the hall fell into a slight silence. After a short while, an elder from a minor faction coughed lightly and spoke in a low voice, "Elder Green, do you mean to subjugate all of us and bring us under the wing of your Holy Rain Sect?"

You can understand it that way.

Han Feng glanced at the elder and spoke calmly.

"I think you are all aware of the current situation in the Black Corner Region. Our sect's intention is to invite you all to join us and form an alliance. This alliance has the power to protect its members, so that we are all in the same boat, whether we are in the same boat or not."

"You may not know, but now the world is in chaos. The Izumo Empire, the Mulan Empire, and the Luoyan Empire have formed a three-nation alliance to conquer Gama."

"Regardless of the outcome of this war, the Black Corner Region, as the center of the four kingdoms, will inevitably face reckoning in the future. Without the protection of a powerful sect... hehehe, you all should pray for your own good fortune."

Han Feng grinned, but his words were full of threat.

Upon hearing Han Feng's words, everyone's expression changed. This was clearly telling them whether they wanted to join or not. If they joined, all was well; if not, they were doomed!

"Even though there is chaos outside, with my Holy Rain Sect here, the Black Corner Region will not descend into chaos."

The man in green spoke calmly: "Since the alliance belongs to the Holy Rain Sect, it can naturally enjoy the benefits of the Holy Rain Sect. The Holy Rain Sect's resource reserves will be open to the sect leaders and heads of all sects in the alliance. Each sect leader and head can exchange for treasures based on their contribution points."

Hearing what the man in green said, everyone's expressions softened slightly, and they nodded. If that was the case, joining this so-called alliance wouldn't be a bad thing.

"Similarly, if there are enough outstanding individuals in your sect, they can apply to join the inner sect of the Holy Rain Sect. Once inside the Holy Sect, they will receive the most comprehensive training and development. All resources, including cultivation techniques, combat skills, and elixirs, will be tilted towards them. Their future achievements will surely exceed your initial expectations."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. After all that talk, this benefit was what truly excited them.

However, many people from powerful factions looked extremely somber.

Sending all the clan's most talented members to these places—what will become of their sect in the future? Isn't this just letting the Holy Rain Sect leech off them?!

"Elder Green, what else do we need to contribute after joining the Holy Sect's external alliance?" another elder from a minor faction asked politely.

"Anyone who joins the outer sect of the Holy Sect will no longer be able to claim ownership of their own sect's power, but will be formally recognized as a member of the Holy Sect and will be responsible for protecting all its interests."

The man in green said calmly.

These words caused an uproar among the crowd.

The Holy Rain Sect not only wants to be the overlord of the Black Corner Region, but also wants to become the only sect in the Black Corner Region!

"Everyone, the Holy Rain Sect was founded by the Holy Decree, and all decisions, large and small, within the sect are made in accordance with the Holy Decree."

"The number of Jade, Gold, and Silver Orders among the Six Orders of the Holy Sect has been determined. If you are willing to join the Holy Rain Sect, you will definitely have a place among these three orders in the future. Those who join later... will not have such benefits." The green-robed man smiled.

Hearing this, the hesitant and unpleasant expressions on everyone's faces eased a little, but they still found it difficult to make a decision immediately.

What they will have to give up is everything they currently possess in their sect!

"My Maple City has joined the Holy Sect, and our sect is now one of the 128 Golden Orders."

Han Feng spoke calmly, but everyone else curled their lips in disapproval.

If it weren't for you, Han Feng, would the Black Corner Region be in this state now?

You've been in cahoots with the Holy Rain Sect for a long time, do you think he'd let you down?

However, they were also quite surprised.

As a Dou Zong powerhouse and a sixth-grade alchemist, Han Feng could only obtain a gold token. Is the value of this holy token really that high?

"With the Holy Emperor's divine authority now widely recruiting talented individuals, how could we possibly refuse?"

Suddenly, an aged voice rang out, and everyone looked up to see an old man with a fawning smile on his face: "My Black Emperor Sect is willing to join the Holy Sect and contribute to its future development!"

It's actually the Black Emperor Sect!

Many people were taken aback when they saw this old man.

The Black Emperor Sect, once the second most powerful force in the Black Corner Region, held an extremely high position and possessed immense strength.

Unfortunately, after the deaths of Mo Tianxing, the sect leader of the Black Emperor Sect, and Mo Ya, the young sect leader, the entire Black Emperor Sect was divided up and disintegrated by the elders. The person who spoke was the most powerful elder in the Black Emperor Sect at present, who also had the strength of a peak Dou Huang.

Moreover, judging from the silence of the other elders, they clearly agreed as well.

As the saying goes, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Although the Black Emperor Sect has lost its sect leader and young sect leader, it still has several Dou Huang powerhouses and wields enormous influence.

Now that the Black Emperor Sect has taken the lead in joining, many other forces have followed suit, and for a time, voices calling for joining the sect have been rising and falling.

"Young Valley Master, we..."

In the vicinity of Demon Flame Valley, an elder murmured in a low voice, while the young valley master clenched his fists, his expression grim.

The Black Emperor Sect and the Demon Flame Valley were once the two strongest forces in the Black Corner Region. Now, both sects are in the same situation, but the Black Emperor Sect has taken the lead in surrendering to their enemy, which is practically putting the Demon Flame Valley in a precarious position!

Many sects had already turned their gazes toward him, as if waiting for him to make a decision. Even on the high platform, Han Feng's gaze fell upon him.

The terrifying power of a Dou Zong expert, even without being deliberately unleashed, is like a biting winter, suffocating and overwhelming.

"So be it. It's just a sect's name. Demon Flame Valley is still Demon Flame Valley, isn't it?"

After a long silence, the young valley master finally sighed and said loudly, "My Demon Flame Valley is also joining the Holy Sect. I wonder what Elder Green thinks?"

The woman in green paused slightly, a gentle smile appearing on her pretty face.

"If the Valley Master wishes to join the Holy Sect, that would be wonderful."

"As long as you all serve the Holy Sect wholeheartedly, the Holy Sect will naturally not treat you unfairly. All holders of Holy Tokens will receive additional rewards of Holy Sect resources every year. The level of rewards varies, such as the reward for a Silver Token... which will be at least no less than a Grade 6 pill!"

These words shocked countless people, and those small sects and forces were overjoyed, hurriedly rising to their feet and bowing in thanks.

The man in green laughed, "Now that everyone has joined my Holy Sect, we are naturally family. The more powerful individuals we have, the stronger our Holy Sect becomes. There's no need for thanks."

"Elder Green, my Lu Ren Gang also wants to join the Holy Sect!"

"I, Bao Huizong, want it too!"

"And me..."

With the Demon Flame Valley and Black Emperor Sect leading the way, coupled with the generous benefits offered by the Holy Rain Sect, almost all sects and forces chose to join the Holy Rain Sect.

The resounding cries of entering the sect continued one after another, and without a doubt, the most powerful force in the Black Corner Region had fully appeared at this moment!

As for how far it can go...

Then it depends on the capabilities of its commander!
