272: Supreme Elder of the Divine Fire Sect

Afterwards, Jiang Ye returned to the Thunder God Palace, intending to recall Shi Feng and Shi Bao back to the Vajra Gate. After all, only the Gravity Training Ground there was the most suitable place for them to accelerate their Cultivation speed.

Thunder God Palace Main Hall

Thunder Heaven and others from the headquarters, Thunder Leopard, and the Palace Revered Master were all present. Jiang Ye had also been summoned.

Thunder Leopard said, "Jiang Ye, you're not too clear on how to Ascend to the Divine Realm, are you?"

"Right, Revered Master, please explain it to me in detail!"

"The Nine Spirits Sect, the Divine Fire Sect, and the Loose Cultivator Alliance in the Spirit God Realm—these three powers each possess a special Magic Array to travel to the Divine Realm. However, they all ultimately arrive at a place called the Divine Mine Site. People from our lower Realms who go to the Divine Realm mostly end up as slaves there, mining Spirit Stones for them. Therefore, it's very difficult for us to establish a foothold in the Divine Realm."

Jiang Ye seemed thoughtful and said, "It seems surviving in the Divine Realm is even harder than imagined!"

"With your current strength, you can live freely and without worry on this continent. There's no need to go to the Divine Realm."

"I don't want to go either, but I have no choice. I must go!"

Thunder Leopard said, "Then what are your plans next?"

"I want to borrow the Vajra Gate's Gravity Training Ground again to go into seclusion for a period. I'll Breakthrough two more Realms, and once I reach the ninth stage of the Super Profound Realm, I'll go to the Spirit God Realm."

Thunder Heaven said, "It's been confirmed that the upcoming opening of the Super Profound Space will contain spirit breaking liquid. If you can reach the ninth stage of the Super Profound Realm and find the spirit breaking liquid inside, you might be able to directly Breakthrough to the Spirit Profound Realm!"

"Oh? So that's why you mobilized so many people to come here?"

"You might not know the situation regarding the quota competition for this Super Profound Space. Because of the confirmed existence of the spirit breaking liquid, the Nine Spirits Sect, the Divine Fire Sect, and the Loose Cultivator Alliance—these three forces—will each take one hundred spots. The remaining two hundred spots will be contested by forces like us. So, even if we enter the Super Profound Space, it will be very hard to compete against those three powers."

Jiang Ye asked, "How many Super Profound Realm cultivators will those forces send in?"

"There's a bone age restriction for entering the Super Profound Space; no one entering can be over thirty years old. But those three forces still have over thirty Super Profound Realm cultivators entering. I've heard the strongest among them have already reached the ninth stage of the Super Profound Realm. As for the Disciples of our Four Great Divine Palaces, only a handful can reach the Super Profound Realm before the age of thirty."

"The gap is too large. Even if all the forces getting the two hundred spots united, they wouldn't be a match for any one of those three powers."

"Other forces with a chance of getting spots have already chosen sides. For example, the Sword God Palace has chosen the Nine Spirits Sect, while the Ice God Palace and the Illusion God Palace have chosen the Loose Cultivator Alliance."

Jiang Ye asked, "What about us? Which power have we chosen?"

"The headquarters is still in discussions. We might... hmm?"

Suddenly, *riiiip!* A space in the hall tore open, and five people wearing fiery red robes walked out. The aura of the eldest among them was extremely powerful, startling everyone in the Thunder God Palace to their feet!

The Elder walked over and said to Jiang Ye, "You must be Jiang Ye, right? I didn't expect your Yang Fire aura to be hidden so deeply."

Jiang Ye didn't sense any malice from them and asked, "Who are you?"

"I am Fire Cloud, the Grand Elder of the Divine Fire Sect. I've come to find you for two matters." Fire Cloud took out a fiery red bottle and handed it to Jiang Ye, saying, "Take a look at this item. Do you need it?"

"Hmm? What's this?" Jiang Ye was startled, sensing the immense fire energy contained within the bottle. He estimated the energy inside was equivalent to at least five Thunder Spirit Pools.

"This is our Divine Fire Sect's number one treasure—divine fire liquid!"

Jiang Ye said, "What do you mean?"

"The divine fire liquid can be given to you, but on the condition that you accept the position of Grand Elder of our Divine Fire Sect."

Jiang Ye asked, puzzled, "How did you discover that I Cultivate a fire-attribute Cultivation Technique?"

"Previously, we obtained a Jade Slip with a recording. It contained footage of you taking action against the Star Profound Palace."

"So that's how! If I accept the position of Grand Elder, are there any restrictions on me?"

Fire Cloud shook his head, "No restrictions whatsoever. However, if one day the Divine Fire Sect faces calamity, you must intervene!"

"Good! I accept. But I need to go into seclusion for a while recently. After the matter of the Super Profound Space is concluded, I will go to the Divine Fire Sect."

"No problem! Our Divine Fire Sect will also have one hundred Disciples entering the Super Profound Space this time. We hope you can come to lead them then."

"Good! Then the Disciples from the Thunder God Palace who obtain spots can also join the Divine Fire Sect's camp!" Jiang Ye said.

Thunder Leopard said, "You are now a Grand Elder of the Divine Fire Sect. The Thunder God Palace will follow your arrangements."

Fire Cloud said, "Good! I'll leave all matters here to you. When it's time to enter the Super Profound Space, an Elder will lead the team here to coordinate with you. Then I'll return first to report."

Jiang Ye cupped his hands, "Thank you for your trouble!"

After the people from the Divine Fire Sect left, Thunder Leopard and the others were quite surprised. Thunder Heaven said, "Then I'll send a message back to headquarters now, telling them to immediately stop contact with the Loose Cultivator Alliance. We have already joined the Divine Fire Sect's camp."

Not long after, Jiang Ye went to the Vajra Gate, heading straight to the ninth level of the Gravity Training Ground.

"Such immense pressure! Combined with the energy from this bottle of divine fire liquid, I will definitely Breakthrough to the ninth stage of the Super Profound Realm within half a month!"

Spirit God Realm

In the Thunder God Palace reception hall, Palace Revered Master Zhang Xu and a female Elder from the Loose Cultivator Alliance, Huang Tao, were discussing matters regarding entering the Super Profound Space.

"Elder Huang, the terms you're offering are still a bit lacking. Inside, conflicts and major fights are bound to break out over the spirit breaking liquid, and the probability of casualties is high."

Huang Tao said, "Palace Revered Master Zhang, the terms we're giving to the Illusion God Palace and the Ice God Palace are the same. If we give you more than them, it will be difficult for us to explain it to them."

Zhang Xu hesitated, thought for a moment, and was still prepared to agree to their offered terms. Just as he was about to speak, a Thunder God Palace Elder rushed in, looking very anxious.

"Palace Revered Master, you haven't agreed to join the Loose Cultivator Alliance yet, have you?"

Seeing his nervous expression, Zhang Xu asked, "We're still in negotiations. What happened?"

The Thunder God Palace Elder breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good! Our Thunder God Palace has already joined the Divine Fire Sect's camp. I'll explain the specific reasons to you later."

"Huh? Whose decision was that? I'm currently still discussing joining the Loose Cultivator Alliance with Elder Huang Tao!"

"The Divine Son sent back a reason that the Thunder God Palace cannot refuse. We had no choice but to join the Divine Fire Sect's camp!"

Zhang Xu saw he was unwilling to say it here, meaning it must be of great importance. He said to Huang Tao, "Elder Huang, then I must apologize to you regarding this matter!"

Huang Tao said, "Oh? What terms did the Divine Fire Sect offer you?"

The Thunder God Palace Elder said, "No terms at all. Everything will be arranged after we come out of the Super Profound Space."

"Huh? Were you threatened by the Divine Fire Sect?"

"There was no threat. Everything will be known on the day we enter the Super Profound Space. For now, it's temporarily inconvenient to disclose it to outsiders. My apologies!"

"Heh, then forget it. We already have the Ice God Palace and the Illusion God Palace joining us. Farewell!"

After Huang Tao left, Zhang Xu asked, "What exactly happened over there?"

"Major news! The Divine Son urgently sent a message back saying that one of Thunder Leopard's Disciples has just become a Grand Elder of the Divine Fire Sect, and he will lead one hundred Disciples of the Divine Fire Sect into the Super Profound Space."

Zhang Xu was greatly shocked, his eyes wide open as he looked at him, "What did you say? Are you sure the news is true?"
