159: Chapter 159 A Silver Party?!

"Saint!!"

Granny Jiu, who was sprawled weakly on the ground behind him, let out a desperate roar, but then could no longer make a sound.

A scorching heat erupted from within her body, turning her inch by inch into charcoal, carbonizing her, and then reducing her to ashes.

In the blink of an eye, only a small pile of human-shaped ashes remained on the spot.

Su Mo did not even spare it a glance.

Almost all the high-end fighting power of the Sacred Fire Sect had been slaughtered, leaving the entire Sect existing in name only.

Su Mo naturally did not let go of the resources the Sect had accumulated over countless years.

He had already instructed Heaven Battle and the others to pack up everything valuable and take it away.

Su Mo himself flew straight above the center of the Sacred Fire Sect and casually scattered dozens of Golden Cores.

A contaminated place must be purified with Nuclear Peace.

The next moment—

Boom!

Dozens of blinding light sources rose within the Sacred Fire Sect, like scorching suns descending.

Violent energy shockwaves spread wildly outward, destroying all pavilions, towers, mountain peaks, and Formations in their path.

At this moment, Su Mo had already traveled tens of thousands of miles away aboard the flying boat.

"Is this all there is?"

Su Mo's Divine Sense swept over dozens of storage rings, and seeing the mountains of Spirit Stones, Medicinal Pills, Cultivation Technique Jade Slips, and precious heavenly materials piled inside, his brow furrowed slightly.

Although this amount looked large, the quality was low. This was completely inadequate for the foundation of a Sect with a Legacy spanning countless years.

"Su Mo, look at this."

Heaven Battle's voice interrupted Su Mo's thoughts.

He saw that Heaven Battle was holding a very ancient, dark red token.

This token was neither gold nor wood, and its surface was engraved with vague blood-colored patterns. It had no spiritual energy fluctuations, and mixed in with miscellaneous items, no one would have noticed it.

"What is this?"

Su Mo took the token; it felt slightly heavy, cold, and dead, yet when his Divine Sense swept over it, he "smelled" a sickening bloody odor.

Hearing this, Heaven Battle looked solemn, his tone absolutely certain:

"Blood Prison! This is a token from the Blood Prison Sacred Land!"

He took a deep breath and continued:

"The bloody odor that Divine Sense can perceive on this token is exactly the same as the characteristic scent of the Blood Prison Sacred Land's artifact!"

Su Mo's gaze sharpened, and his fingertips rubbed the surface of the token.

He had vaguely heard of the Four Great Sacred Lands, but he hadn't expected to encounter one so soon.

"The Blood Prison Sacred Land... is very powerful?"

Heaven Battle was stunned for a moment, then gave a bitter laugh:

"None of the Four Great Sacred Lands lack power. They are called Holy Lands because, long ago, every Holy Land had Cultivators who Ascended to the Upper Realm—beings who truly touched the threshold of the Immortal Dao."

"Even now, though the path to Ascension is cut off, the foundations of the Four Great Sacred Lands are still unfathomable. There are even Old Monsters in the Tribulation Crossing Stage residing within them."

"No wonder that Red-Haired Guy had the confidence to say that destroying the Sacred Fire Sect would have severe consequences. So they have connections up high..."

Su Mo pondered silently, then asked:

"The reputation of the Four Great Sacred Lands doesn't seem very widespread. Have they entered seclusion?"

Heaven Battle nodded and explained:

"That's right, the Four Great Sacred Lands have been living in seclusion for countless years."

"According to the ancient texts I have read, it seems to be related to an earth-shattering war in ancient times."

Su Mo waved his hand and said casually:

"Then there's nothing to worry about. Tribulation Crossing Stage Cultivators cannot act freely, and we aren't without the strength to fight those in the Mahayana Stage. What are you worried about?"

Heaven Battle's eyes immediately lit up, and he slapped his thigh hard:

"Ah, you're right."

The worry on his face instantly dissipated by more than half. Due to habitual thinking and the prestige of the Four Great Sacred Lands, he had subconsciously regarded them as insurmountable behemoths. Now, looking at their own strength, the Four Great Sacred Lands didn't seem so threatening anymore.

Heaven Battle chuckled, his confidence swelling like never before.

"I was overthinking things."

...Inside the quiet room of the flying boat, the Mahayana Dao Fruit that Su Mo had seized was floating mid-air, illuminating the entire room in four different colors.

A stream of light flickered in Su Mo's eyes as he analyzed and deconstructed the Law contained within the Dao Fruit before him.

This Law was not pure. Besides the largest portion, which was the Fire Law, there were also the Origins of four types of Sacred Fire.

These four Sacred Fires were wonders of heaven and earth, and their Origins were forcibly refined and fused into his own Dao Fruit by Old Ancestor Jintian, in an attempt to glimpse a higher Realm, but this also led to the Law being chaotic.

"Tsk, his comprehension of the Fire Law was poor, yet he wanted to try something fancy."

A hint of disdain flashed in Su Mo's heart.

In his view, the path taken by Old Ancestor Jintian was wrong from the very beginning.

If he had thoroughly studied the Origin of one Sacred Fire and completely integrated its Law into himself, and then refined all four Sacred Fires step by step, he could have made them complement each other.

But Old Ancestor Jintian clearly lacked the patience and chose the most crude method of Fusion.

Su Mo drove his own Law power, slowly separating the four-colored Dao Fruit and stripping out the Sacred Fire Origins within it.

Soon, four Sacred Fires of different colors appeared before Su Mo, and the original Dao Fruit was left with only a pure red color.

"This fire..."

Looking at these four flames, a bold idea suddenly popped into Su Mo's mind.

He took a bit from each of the four Sacred Fires and paired them with a miniature Golden Core for traction.

A moment later, a four-colored Fire Lotus, centered around a Golden Core, appeared in Su Mo's palm.

The petals formed by the four-colored flames were distinctly layered and magnificent, yet they exuded a dangerous aura.

This Fire Lotus was merely an external shape created by Su Mo; what truly made it effective was the balance between the flames and the Golden Core.

Only when the balance was broken and the five energies conflicted and exploded could the true power be seen.

Thinking this, Su Mo stepped out, holding the Fire Lotus. He needed to find a large enough space to test its power.

With a thought, the power of the Space Law surged around him, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared not far from the flying boat.

"Go."

Su Mo flicked his finger, and the four-colored Fire Lotus transformed into a streak of light, shooting toward a distant mountain peak.

The next moment, five colors instantly intertwined and burst forth.

Compared to the previous single Golden Core explosion, the power of this explosion, mixed with four Sacred Fires, was 30% stronger than before.

Most importantly, the four-colored flames that lingered long after the explosion compensated for the Golden Core's weakness of lacking sustained damage.

"The power is decent."

Su Mo smiled faintly.

These four Sacred Fires and his Golden Core were simply a match made in heaven... After refining the four Sacred Fires one by one, the flying boat arrived above the Six Desires Demonic Sect.

But at this moment, the Six Desires Demonic Sect seemed to be holding some grand ceremony, as countless Cultivators who did not belong to the Six Desires Demonic Sect were continuously pouring into its mountain gate.

Inside the Sect, bursts of celestial music could be heard, and the fragrance of spiritual food permeated the air. Listening closely, one could also hear the wanton cries of women and the heavy breathing of men.

Su Mo stood atop the flying boat, looking at the strange and noisy scene below, his brow slightly furrowed:

"What's going on? It doesn't look like a wedding."

"This is the Blissful Dharma Assembly!"

Heaven Battle explained with a calm expression:

"It is one of the Six Desires Demonic Sect's notorious assemblies, euphemistically called 'Sensing Bliss, Elevating the Dao Heart.' In reality, it uses fine food, wine, spiritual delicacies, and beauties... to lure Cultivators with unstable Dao Hearts here to indulge."
