Witch, please have some self-respect!

Discussions erupted inside the Talisman Stone Hall.

As first- or even second-tier rune masters of high status, they have access to more information that others cannot.

The truth of the matter was vaguely deduced.

"Something terrible has happened! The demon race's actions are definitely related to the Golden Rock Mountains not far from Golden Light City. The Heavenly Demon Temple is going to war with our Holy Sect!"

"Could it be true that there is a demigod's creation beneath the Golden Rock Mountains?"

"The demon race likely intends not only to massacre the city, but also to seize Golden Light City as a stronghold to confront us!"

It seemed that one of the talisman masters came from Jin Guang City. He was filled with grief and indignation, and he spat out a few words through gritted teeth.

"The demon race...should be exterminated!"

Shen Yun was also greatly shocked.

The demon race has breached the city!

The significance is absolutely different. Destroying Golden Light City is not as simple as retaliating against the Demon Slaughtering Sacrifice.

The impact will be so profound that this land may be engulfed in war and bloodshed in the future.

Because the three eighth-order dragon veins extending from the only ancestral vein of the Azure Fiend Secret Realm are divided among the Holy Sect, the Purple Cloud Sect, and the Heavenly Demon Holy Palace.

As branches, the three origins are very close to the central ancestral vein.

In fact, the further west the Azure Fiend Secret Realm extends, the lower the grade of the dragon veins and the fewer powerful cultivators there are.

The powerful individuals are all gathered at the three eighth-tier dragon veins.

Although the Holy Sect controls a region spanning millions of miles in the southern part of the secret realm, it is a narrow strip of land bordering the demon race.

The Holy City and even the lair of the Heavenly Demon Temple are only 20,000 miles apart.

It's not far.

Golden Light City is a large city located two thousand hundred miles away from the Holy City, not too far, and also close to the territory controlled by the demon race.

Rumor has it that the Lord of the Heavenly Demon Temple appeared near the Golden Rock Mountains, essentially venturing deep into enemy territory alone.

However, Jin Guang City is near the Jin Yan Mountain Range. Now that Jin Guang City has been destroyed, it would be difficult for it to be occupied by the demon race.

That day, the Demon Saint Palace Master was no longer alone in his advance; Golden Light City transformed into a bridgehead for the demon race.

If it is really as we think, the demon race has invaded human territory.

A full-scale war is about to break out, and it will be a protracted war.

The discussion was to be held behind closed doors in the Talisman Hall. Since Shen Yun was not staying there for supplementary cultivation, he took his leave and went to the noisy square outside.

After being filled with righteous indignation, the Heavenly Crafts Bureau gradually returned to peace.

It was Golden Light City that was destroyed; the Holy City was safe. However, everyone was walking hurriedly, their expressions showing a hint of worry.

Things are about to get turbulent.

"Demon race...city breached...Golden Rock Mountains...Heavenly Craftsmanship Palace...Illusion-Breaking Powder..."

Looking back at the giant cauldron-shaped building, Shen Yun tightened his grip on the jade crystal in his arms.

A time of great turmoil.

"Could it be because of Xiao Yifan?"

Shen Yun couldn't help but think that chaos was bound to ensue wherever the Chosen One resided.

Could he really be some kind of chosen one?

"The Hall of Holy Lineage Inheritance".

Shen Yun stopped a dragon-scaled horse, its four hooves galloping like a phantom, gradually disappearing into the distance on the wide street.

The news of the fall of Jinguang City had just spread, and had not yet disturbed the prosperity of the Holy City.

After passing several celestial palaces high in the sky, the Blood Sea Realm is the only entry threshold, with faint celestial music drifting down from it.

The Blood Sea can fly through the sky and burrow underground, separating the immortals from the mortals, which is truly admirable.

Two hours later, they finally saw the Inheritance Hall in the center of the Holy City.

A 100-meter-tall ancient building rises from the ground, solemn and dignified, covered with mottled traces.

The first building that the Holy Sect built when it first arrived in the Azure Fiend Secret Realm is said to be the Inheritance Hall in front of us.

It is the core of the holy city.

It symbolizes the continuation and inheritance of the sect, and is a place where disciples pass on their skills and exchange for treasures.

Those who wish to join the Holy Sect must also pass the examination here.

After getting off the carriage, bronze puppets patrolled past on both sides from time to time, and cultivators dressed in yellow outer sect disciple robes came and went in droves.

Most of the disciples of the Holy Sect were at the late stage of Body Nourishing cultivation, which gave Shen Yun a sense of pressure.

News of the fall of Jinguang City spread even faster within the Holy Sect, and everyone was in a hurry, preparing for the upcoming great battle.

Exchange for stronger techniques, elixirs, runes, formations, and magical artifacts to enhance your strength.

"Are you really here to join the Holy Sect?"

The disciple in charge of receiving them looked at Shen Yun, whose hair and beard were completely white, with surprise. This was the third time he had asked.

Shen Yun looked at the reception disciple with short black hair in front of him and nodded seriously.

In this world, it's really rare to see people with short hair. He couldn't help but take a few more glances, feeling a sense of familiarity.

"Old sir, do you possess the nine levels of body cultivation, and with the support of various techniques, can your punch unleash a force of 100,000 jin?"

The short-haired young man looked troubled after speaking.

Even if they meet the requirements, Elder Sun, who is in charge of recruiting disciples, probably wouldn't want to accept them.

That's too old.

A punch that can deliver 100,000 jin is one of the few ways for those with insufficient physical constitution to enter the Holy Sect.

Nourish the body through nine levels, and you will have the strength of 100,000 jin.

Shen Yun calculated that the cultivation techniques and combat methods he practiced had to be at least at the "Dharma" level, and only with the blessing of perfection could he barely meet this requirement.

Alternatively, one can cultivate both Heavenly Skills and True Methods to meet the requirements.

Shen Yun shook his head, "I'm only in the early stages of body cultivation, how could I possibly meet that requirement?"

"Then come and make me happy." Upon hearing this, the short-haired disciple's face darkened.

"I am a newly initiated first-level talisman master, and I intend to enter the sect through secondary cultivation."

Shen Yun quickly handed over his identity jade token and badge.

"Oh, so it's a minor."

The short-haired disciple's eyes lit up. As soon as the news of the fall of Golden Light City came out, the elder ordered that auxiliary cultivators be recruited first.

Alchemists and talisman masters, in particular, are consumables, and these are the two types that are most scarce in battle.

No assessment is required; they will be directly incorporated into the sect.

What the Holy Emperor lacked was talent in this area.

"Oh, so you're the guardian of Senior Sister Feng's spirit fields!"

Upon seeing the information on the identity jade token, the disciple became even more enthusiastic and pulled Shen Yun to complete the sect entry procedures.

Things went more smoothly and easily than Shen Yun had imagined.

"Once I inform Elder Sun and receive your waist token, you will be a disciple of my Holy Sect."

After a few simple procedures, the short-haired disciple asked Shen Yun to wait outside.

Seeing the short-haired disciple walk away, Shen Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief. The Holy Sect truly was a place where hidden talents roamed.

Although the disciple who was receiving him was enthusiastic, his every move brought him a great sense of pressure.

It felt like it wasn't at the Blood Sea Realm, yet it seemed to exert even more pressure than someone at the Blood Sea Realm.

Shen Yun looked around the rest of the Inheritance Hall. The largest area was the exchange area, which was also the most crowded with disciples.

That was inside the Holy Sect, a place where resources were exchanged for contributions, and it was divided into small rooms.

Secondly, there is the Sutra Repository on the other side, which is less crowded and is where outer disciples exchange for cultivation techniques.

One is the sect's treasure trove, and the other is the scripture repository; they truly live up to the name of the Hall of Inheritance.

"The library may contain the legendary divine power to compensate for one's innate talent."

Shen Yun was extremely envious of these two places.

This is only one floor. Above it are two more floors serving the inner disciples, and above that are three more floors.

...

Deep inside the main hall, the Fenglei and Fengdian brothers had just finished exchanging items using their contribution points.

In the disciple recruitment area, an old man with a white beard and white hair who looked familiar caught their attention.

The two exchanged a glance; both were in the mid-stage of the Body Nourishing Realm, so they weren't likely to misjudge each other.

"Then why does it look so much like Steward Shen?"

"No way, what is Steward Shen doing here? Could it be that Su Wan'er is qualified to join the Holy Sect?"

The eldest brother, Feng Lei, was a thoughtful man and considered one possibility.

Or perhaps you've encountered some kind of difficulty?

After discussing it for a moment, the two decided to go up and say hello.

Even if the old man has exhausted his potential, he is still someone the young lady values ​​and brought along.

We should help each other.

In particular, Shen Yun also possessed a communication stone belonging to Feng Luoyi, which none of them had.

"Shen Yun?"

"Steward Shen?"
