Sect Master's Immortal Journey

Chapter 317: Telling stories

Amidst the boundless and desolate Demon Wind Gobi, three foreign guests arrived. In this extremely desolate place, occasional glimpses of greenery could be seen, and small animals occasionally roamed about.

This location was the southernmost part of Demon Wind Gobi, already very close to the territory of Jiuqu League. As an outer region of Demon Wind Gobi, not only were there no demonic beasts, but even ordinary wild animals were seldom seen.

Three figures stood high in the sky, with fierce gusts of qi whistling past, rustling their bodies. Yet, these three individuals seemed completely unfazed by the forceful gusts and the freezing cold of the high altitude. They simply stood there, seemingly waiting for something.

After an unknown period, an elderly man with fiery red hair and an imposing demeanor finally spoke, a hint of impatience in his voice.

"Senior Fei Tian, may I ask why we've come to this place? There are no demonic beasts or any other abnormal situations here."

The elderly man was none other than Daoist Master Roaring Blaze, the Grand Elder of Earthfire Sect.

His question was directed at an elderly man with white hair, a small stature, and a face full of wrinkles. At first glance, one would think he was too old to move, with not much time left in this world. It was unimaginable that he was Fei Tian Daoist Master, the most respected and experienced Gold Core Daoist Master of Flying Swan Sect.

Fei Tian Daoist Master appeared nothing like a Gold Core Daoist Master, resembling an ordinary mortal elder instead. He didn't answer Daoist Master Roaring Blaze's question but gazed intently below.

A trace of displeasure flashed across Daoist Master Roaring Blaze's face. If anyone else had dared to disregard him like this, his irritable temperament would have erupted. However, facing Fei Tian Daoist Master, he had to hold back his anger.

This wasn't just because Fei Tian Daoist Master hailed from the ruling Flying Swan Sect in the Endless Sea of Sand, but also because Fei Tian Daoist Master had been renowned for over three hundred years in the Endless Sea of Sand. When he was making a name for himself in the desert, both Daoist Master Roaring Blaze and Guang Zhi Daoist Master hadn't been born yet.

Despite only a few years of cultivation, Daoist Master Roaring Blaze always felt an intangible pressure in the presence of Fei Tian Daoist Master, preventing him from acting recklessly.

Cultivators of Earthfire Sect, practicing the special fire attribute techniques of their sect, tended to be impulsive and difficult to control. However, after reaching the Foundation Building stage, their temperament would usually become more restrained and patient.

Due to significant flaws in Earthfire Sect's inherited techniques, Daoist Master Roaring Blaze, despite his exceptional talent, had been incapable of forming a core. Fortunately, he had caught the eye of a senior from Fire Cloud Sect, who gave him a clump of Third Fire Essence refined with great care. Additionally, he was taught a secret technique of Fire Cloud Sect. After years of hard cultivation, he barely managed to form a core.

After reaching the core formation stage, Daoist Master Roaring Blaze's character had changed, becoming somewhat gloomy.

He didn't press Fei Tian Daoist Master further and instead gestured to a middle-aged Taoist beside him.

This unremarkable-looking middle-aged Taoist was Guang Zhi Daoist Master of Forest Spring Watch. In the face of Fei Tian Daoist Master, he and Daoist Master Roaring Blaze were natural allies.

"Senior Fei Tian, we have been here for quite some time without accomplishing anything or detecting any abnormalities. Senior, weren't we supposed to head into the inner part of Demon Wind Gobi to investigate the movements of demonic beasts?"

"Are we spending too much time here, risking missing out on important matters?"

Guang Zhi Daoist Master spoke respectfully.

Finally, Fei Tian Daoist Master reacted upon hearing Guang Zhi Daoist Master's question.

He chuckled and said, "You young people lack patience. When you reach my age, you won't be so hasty."

"Can we not be in a hurry? We've been away from the sect for so long, and this old man is taking his sweet time," both Guang Zhi Daoist Master and Daoist Master Roaring Blaze silently complained.

Ever since they set out with Guang Zhi Daoist Master and Daoist Master Roaring Blaze, Fei Tian Daoist Master had been dragging his feet. He first brought them to a quiet place in the territory of Flying Swan Sect and engaged in profound discussions on cultivation and Dao with them.

To be honest, Fei Tian Daoist Master truly lived up to his reputation as an experienced Gold Core Daoist Master. The knowledge he shared was substantial and greatly benefited both Guang Zhi Daoist Master and Daoist Master Roaring Blaze.

The two of them were enthralled by Fei Tian Daoist Master's teachings, hoping to learn as much as they could from him. An opportunity to learn from such a high-level Gold Core Daoist Master was truly rare and might not come again for a hundred years.

They even forgot about their sect's affairs, staying with Fei Tian Daoist Master for quite a while.

Only a few days ago, Fei Tian Daoist Master finally stopped his teachings and brought them to Demon Wind Gobi.

Though Daoist Master Roaring Blaze and Guang Zhi Daoist Master were reluctant to leave, they had no choice. According to their agreement, they had to accompany Fei Tian Daoist Master to explore the Demon Wind Gobi.

However, unexpectedly, after Fei Tian Daoist Master led them into the Demon Wind Gobi, he kept circling around the periphery and showed no intention of going deeper inside. Initially, they were relieved not to exert themselves dealing with Third Rank demonic beasts. But Fei Tian Daoist Master suddenly became inexplicable, creating an uneasy feeling in both of them.

After indulging in some nonsense due to his seniority, Fei Tian Daoist Master finally got to the point.

"Do you two know what this place is?" Guang Zhi Daoist Master and Daoist Master Roaring Blaze shook their heads, a little puzzled. They had carefully observed the area, but it seemed like an ordinary stretch of desert.

"Over a thousand years ago, Purple Gold Sect was the ruler of the Endless Sea of Sand. Eight hundred years ago, the sect committed a grave mistake, leading to the downfall of the Primordial Spirit True Monarch and several Gold Core Daoist Masters."

"At that time, many sects, including ours, rose up against the rule of Purple Gold Sect. Qi Family, which had recently moved to the Endless Sea of Sand, also joined the opposition. Fire Cloud Sect and Yellow Lotus Sect's East River Branch, outsiders to the region, took advantage of the situation and launched a large-scale invasion."

"After numerous bloody battles that spanned hundreds of years and resulted in countless sacrifices, our sect emerged victorious and became the new ruler of the Endless Sea of Sand."

Guang Zhi Daoist Master and Daoist Master Roaring Blaze exchanged glances, wondering why Fei Tian Daoist Master suddenly brought up these worn-out stories. The rise of Flying Swan Sect was widely known throughout the Endless Sea of Sand, and they, as native cultivators of the region, had heard these tales enough times since childhood.

Nevertheless, considering Fei Tian Daoist Master's status, they could only patiently and obediently listen to him retell the story.

"During the process of unifying the Endless Sea of Sand, our sect resorted to many clever tactics. As a result, Fire Cloud Sect and Yellow Lotus Sect's East River Branch have never accepted their defeat and have been constantly raiding our sect for years, even engaging in several major battles."

"Over three hundred years ago, it was in this very place that our Gold Core Daoist Master had a decisive battle with the Gold Core Daoist Masters of those two sects."

"Our Gold Core Daoist Master emerged victorious, forcing the Gold Core Daoist Masters of Fire Cloud Sect and Yellow Lotus Sect's East River Branch to make a solemn oath never to set foot in the Endless Sea of Sand again."

As Fei Tian Daoist Master spoke, his enthusiasm seemed to reignite, making him appear much younger.
