Elder Sharp moved and landed on the desert.
He looked around him and stared at the boundless red and brown desert. Elder Sharp grieved, a feeling of deep longing in his heart.
"In the past, hundreds of thousands of miles of this place were covered with high mountains and dense forests. It was a fairyland, a sight to behold with its picturesque scenery and abundant spiritual energy.
But now, so much had changed. The place is unrecognizable from how it was before. The place has lost its beauty and wonder!"
Elder Sharp exclaimed. He couldn't stop the tears from falling down his face.
Hearing the sad speech of his, the three elders of the Flame Holy Land were also on the verge of tears. They themselves recalled the glory of this sacred land, and how it was more than one thousand and five hundred years ago.
At that time, the three elders were just outer disciples of the Flame Holy Land. They were sent out to perform a mission, but when they came back, the once prosperous sacred land was gone. An endless brown desert was left in its place.
Elder Sharp could only sigh as the feeling of hopelessness grew in his heart. With a heavy heart he positioned himself in the desert. The sleeve of his clothes danced in movement with the wind. Soon, the space rippled above the desert, and an octagonal ancient well showed up.
The ancient well was the actual entrance to the Flame Holy Land.
It was Elder Brendan who founded the well. He had set up several ingenious magic arrays and a Space-blocking Array in the place, which had sealed the well tightly.
The well was masked and magically hidden. No one could detect its location and that it was an entry point that could lead to the holy land.
Then they all jumped into the well.
As they reached the ground, they were greeted by an abundant green scenery. Overgrown plants and enchanting flowers surrounded the place.
It was a small world. A unique magical place that had been sealed to protect its existence. It was the real ancient Flame Holy Land.
"Hundreds of thousands of years has gone. I did not expect I would go back to this place again."
Elder Sharp could feel the excitement in his body. His hands trembled, and he could feel a rush of energy going through his blood.
Whoosh!
All of a sudden, he dashed forward as if he was running after someone.
Only to stop and feel the surrounding air. He wandered around, nostalgic. He tried to recall every fond memories he had in the ancient sacred land.
Knowing that Elder Sharp was going down a memory lane of people and things in the past, no one went to bother him.
At this time, the three hundred or so disciples who had been guarding the place came out one after another.
Rahul, Zoe and the others were all there. They all went to greet Austin, smiling at the sight of him.
Now that the ancient Flame Holy Land had been carefully cleaned up, everything was in order again. All the corpses of the past had been buried.
Part of the palaces and buildings were cleared out for people to live.
The present Flame Holy Land had looked more like the headquarters of a decent sect.
There were residential areas, cultivation areas, conference halls. All areas were arranged in an orderly manner.
All the disciples, more than three hundred of them, soon realized that a reclusive elder of the ancient Flame Holy Land had been restored to life. After hundreds of thousands of years, finally, he came back.
The disciples looked around each other in excitement. Everyone was filled with joy and anticipation.
Their ancestor, who had lived hundreds of thousands of years ago, had come back to life.
It was nothing but a miracle.
The entire Flame Holy Land was wrapped-up in the celebration. There was so much noise and excitement, even if it was just a few of them there at that time.
Later on in the day.
Elder Sharp summoned the three elders and Austin to the meeting hall.
"There used to be a protecting array in the Flame Holy Land, but now many array foundations have been damaged and can no longer be used.
In the next few days, I will mend what is broken on the array foundation and make the array work again.
This way we could have a very solid defense structure,"
Elder Sharp explained slowly.
"There is a Sect-protecting Array here?"
The three elders and Austin asked together. They were all stunned with the information they just heard.
Mainly, Elder Brendan. He had been in this place for a long while, but he had never found any trace of the array.
"Yes, we have a Sect-protecting Array that used to be powerful. It was well known in the entire East Mainland before, but now it has been destroyed.
To rebuild our holy land, the first thing we need to do is to repair this array,"
said Elder Sharp.
"Elder Sharp, I have studied the array a little, and I have some knowledge of it. Please allow me to help you,"
