"So itâs Brother Xu Fenn. Since Brother Xu has arrived, why not join us to observe the Emperor Flame Battle?" Wang Yan said with a smile.
"Sure, Iâm very interested in the Emperor Flame Battle. Iâm quite eager to see what a battle at the Immortal Emperor Level looks like. But I donât have an invitation to get inside," Xu Nian said with a smile.
"No invitation? No problem, we have one. We can take you inside," Wang Yan replied with a smile.
"Senior Brother!" Xiao Xuan was immediately a bit angry.
However, Wang Yan ignored her and smiled at Xu Nian.
"Then Iâll trouble Brother Wang," Xu Nian said with a smile.
Although the Divine Fire Sect is not a large sect, it is surrounded by a powerful fire attribute barrier.
If one tries to break in by force, unless they possess power at the Immortal Emperor Level, they will be burned to ashes by the barrier.
This is why Xu Nian was standing at the foot of the mountain earlier and did not enter.
Now with Wang Yanâs invitation paving the way, he could easily enter the interior of the Divine Fire Sect.
"Brother Xu, youâre being too polite," Wang Yan said with a smile.
With that, he led Xu Nian towards the sect entrance.
Xiao Xuan stomped her feet in anger and gave Xu Nian a look of distaste.
Xu Nian shook his head helplessly.
She really is a reckless young lady.
If it were someone else, they might have slapped her to death by now.
"Brother Xu, what level has your cultivation reached? Why canât I see through it?" Wang Yan asked with a smile.
There are many people in the Immortal Realm who hide their cultivation.
So itâs very normal for someone like Xu Nian, whose cultivation canât be seen through in the Immortal Realm.
This is also why Xiao Xuan doesnât know Xu Nianâs cultivation but still looks down on him.
To them, Xu Nian is so young, his cultivation canât possibly be very high.
And they are the geniuses of their sect, the top among the younger generation in the sect.
How could Xu Nian, a loose cultivator, possibly surpass them?
"Iâm just a Profound Immortal," Xu Nian said with a glance at Xiao Xuan, deliberately.
"Senior Brother, I told you, as a loose cultivator, his cultivation canât be that high, but you wouldnât listen," Xiao Xuan immediately said to her senior brother beside her.
However, Wang Yanâs expression didnât change; he just smiled and patted Xu Nian on the shoulder, saying, "Brother Xu Fenn, itâs okay. Cultivation is like dripping water wearing through stone. Being temporarily low in cultivation is no big deal; we all came from the Profound Immortal Realm."
"Thank you, Brother Wang Yan," Xu Nian replied with a smile.
He realized that Wang Yan truly had a kind heart.
When he spoke, his soul didnât waver one bit, clearly indicating he wasnât lying.
However, Xiao Xuan looked at Xu Nian impatiently and said disdainfully, "A waste like you wouldnât even be able to enter the gates of our Earth Immortal Sect."
"Earth Immortal Sect? Youâre from the Earth Immortal Sect?" Xu Nian asked, somewhat surprised.
"Yes, weâre from the Earth Immortal Sect. This southernmost land is our Earth Immortal Sectâs territory. Brother Xu Fenn, donât you even know that?" Wang Yan asked with a grin.
"I do know that," Xu Nian replied with a smile.
He knew the southernmost land was Earth Immortal Sectâs territory, but he didnât expect Wang Yan and Xiao Xuan to be from the Earth Immortal Sect.
"So are you two the only ones from Earth Immortal Sect who came this time?" Xu Nian asked curiously.
"Of course not. We just arrived first; some sect elders will arrive in the next couple of days," Wang Yan responded.
Xu Nian nodded.
I wonder if Li Tian will come.
Since they parted outside Xianjue Mountain, he hadnât seen Li Tian.
And he didnât know if Li Tian found the Earth God Staff of their sect.
"Weâre here!"
As they arrived in front of the Divine Fire Sectâs gate, Wang Yan said with a smile.
Then Wang Yan directly addressed the empty gate of the Divine Fire Sect, "I am Wang Yan, disciple of the Earth Immortal Sect, here to pay my respects."
He then released the invitation, sending it towards the gate.
The invitation flew into the gate and quickly went straight to the top of the mountain.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Three figures floated down in front of the gate.
The one leading was a young man wearing a crimson robe, whose cultivation had already reached the Golden Immortal Peak.
Behind him followed two disciples at the Golden Immortal Early Stage.
"Haha, so itâs Brother Wang, welcome, welcome."
The young man in the crimson robe laughed heartily and stepped forward to greet him.
The sectâs barrier was also opened, revealing a gate.
"Brother Cheng, we havenât seen each other for a hundred years. I didnât expect you to have reached the Golden Immortal Peak. Truly, you deserve to be the number one genius of the Divine Fire Sect," Wang Yan responded with a smile.
"Haha, Brother Wang flatters me. It was just a lucky breakthrough," Cheng Xing said with a laugh.
"Hmph, whatâs there to be proud of?" Xiao Xuan said unhappily.
Cheng Xing laughed heartily: "Junior Sister Xiao Xuan, we meet again."
"Hmph, who is your junior sister?" Xiao Xuan said with disdain.
Cheng Xing shook his head with a wry smile.
"Who is this?" Cheng Xing looked at Xu Nian and asked.
"His name is Xu Fenn, a friend I just met. Heâs here to observe the Emperor Flame Battle. Brother Cheng shouldnât mind, right?" Wang Yan replied with a smile.
"Haha, of course not. Our Divine Fire Sect welcomes him. I wonder what cultivation Brother Xu Fenn has? Why canât I see through it?" Cheng Xing glanced at Xu Nian and asked.
"Just a Profound Immortal," Xiao Xuan said disdainfully before Xu Nian could answer.
"A Profound Immortal?" A faint trace of contempt flashed in Cheng Xingâs eyes, and then he no longer spoke to Xu Nian and turned to Wang Yan, saying, "Brother Wang, please come inside. The Emperor Flame Battle will take place in three days. Let me first show you to your accommodations."
"Thank you, Brother Cheng," Wang Yan responded.
Then Cheng Xing led Wang Yan and Xu Nian and the others to the residence within the Divine Fire Sect.
Ultimately, Xu Nian and his companions were each assigned a separate residence.
Throughout the process, Cheng Xing didnât say a single extra word to him.
"Brother Xu, do you feel that Cheng Xing looks down on you?" After Cheng Xing left, Wang Yan patted Xu Nian on the shoulder and asked.
"No!" Xu Nian said with a helpless smile.
He really didnât care about Cheng Xingâs opinion.
"Actually, donât blame Cheng Xing. If you truly feel insulted, then work hard to improve your strength. Only when you are strong will others respect you," Wang Yan said solemnly.
"Okay, thank you for your wise words, Brother Wang," Xu Nian said with a smile.
He didnât expect Wang Yan would come to comfort him.
Wang Yan said no more and turned back to his own residence.
Xu Nian shook his head helplessly.
The reason he said he was a Profound Immortal was that he didnât want to attract too much attention.
His purpose was to acquire the Divine Fire.
If he revealed his true cultivation level, both Wang Yan and the Divine Fire Sect would focus on him.
That would be very detrimental to his next actions.
"Itâs time to see this Divine Fire," Xu Nian said with a smile at the corner of his mouth.
The next moment, his figure transformed into a phantom heading straight for the main hall on the mountaintop.
This Divine Fire is underground, and the entrance to the underground passage is in the main hall.
