"I was only a common outer disciple of the Flame Holy Land.
One day, I went out with several other outer disciples to improve ourselves through trials.
Before we finished our cultivation outside, we heard that something happened to our headquarters. Because of that, we came back hurriedly.
But when we arrived there, we found that our headquarters was gone.
Instead, an endless red desert replaced it.
We looked everywhere in the desert but we did not find our companions and superiors.
Later, one of our sect elders appeared right in front of us. He was badly injured and dying.
Before he died, he entrusted us with the ultimate magical treasure of our sect and asked us to rebuild our sect," Elder Brendan recalled.
He walked up to the dead bodies as he stared at them.
As he saw the rest of his companions, he looked lonely.
It was only then that Austin and Earth Hermit knew of the elder's true identity.
'It turns out that Elder Brendan was just a common outer disciple of the Flame Holy Land.
I bet Elder Leder and Elder Damian were those who went out for the trials with him, ' Austin and Earth Hermit thought.
The three of them continued moving. Elder Brendan took the lead, while Austin and Earth Hermit followed behind him.
Since Elder Brendan used to cultivate here as a disciple of the Flame Holy Land, he knew this place very well.
As they kept walking forward, they ran into countless corpses on the ground.
The corpses did not rot at all. It looked as if they were only asleep.
After passing through several mountains without taking a break, the three of them came to a scenic place.
The mist made of thick spiritual energy enveloped the entire area. There were falls, streams, and plenty of splendid palaces there. Both Austin and Earth Hermit were stunned and enthralled by the breath-taking scenery. They felt like they were in a wonderland.
"This is the center of our headquarters.
Only the senior members and principal disciples had access to this place,"
Elder Brendan said as he gestured to introduce the place.
After appreciating the view, he then led Austin and Earth Hermit to another location.
"This is the Sacred Cliff," Elder Brendan continued.
Austin and Earth Hermit glanced around. There were numerous rare flowers and herbs, as well as grand buildings. Visible spiritual energy flowed in the air, making the place look mysterious.
A towering cliff lay in front of the three of them. It stood so tall that they were not able to see the top of it. The massive waterfall, which was about a thousand meters long, was hanging from the mountain like a milky curtain. It was truly a spectacular view.
Austin could clearly feel that the spiritual energy was a dozen times denser and richer here than in the outside world. Even though he just stood still without doing anything, his body could still absorbed the spiritual energy automatically.
The two of them were fascinated by the natural landscape.
Out of the blue, nine dragon shadows in the distance flew towards their direction and disappeared right into the beautiful cliff.
"Those are the nine natural vessels of dragon energy,"
Earth Hermit exclaimed in excitement as he spotted the dragon shadows.
It was shocking that the nine natural vessels of dragon energy showed up here.
A spot on the cliff lit up brilliantly, illuminating the whole space.
The next minute, a carving appeared out of thin air from the spot where the dazzling light came from.
The picture bore an image of an elder who was dressed like a Taoist. He held a simple box in his hand.
The image made the carving look so vivid.
The elder in the picture stood straight, exuding a solemn air.
"He was our holy lord. Oh my god! The jade box in his hand is the Flame Scripture!"
