Shi Xuan's trip to Star Mountain can be regarded as knowing a lot of information, at least he knows the purpose of the Moon Worship Sect's actions over the years, and he also knows where their weaknesses are, and they have an extreme need for the power of faith of believers, which may be their fatal weakness.

This westward journey also allowed Shi Xuan to meet a hidden master like Old Man Zhou, the existence of the Tianji Gate undoubtedly made the Moon Worship Sect like a fish in the throat, and the bond between them for thousands of years, the Tianji Gate knew their purpose well, and they were in the forefront of the position, monitoring the Moon Worship Sect's every move, which also made Shi Xuan feel relieved.

After the next day, Shi Xuan decided to leave the territory of the Moon Worship Sect, which was full of dangers, he was alone and helpless, and it was useless here, Old Man Zhou still continued to be active near the Star Picking Mountain, guarding against their actions at any time.

After this trip, Shi Xuan also completely understood why the Moon Worship Sect insisted on supporting the Danyang Empire to launch a full-scale war, in order to spread their teachings in the territories of the four empires, and turn all the most important citizens of the five empires in the southwest continent into his own believers, so as to achieve their goal of collecting the power of faith.

However, the actions of the Tianhua Sect and the allies can be regarded as completely ending their illusions, without the vast territory and believers of the five empires, Beicang's actions have also failed one after another, and their purpose has also been successfully destroyed by the Tianhua Sect.

The wars and expeditions of the Tianhua Sect and the allies for many years have consumed a huge amount of their own strength, and more than half of the disciples have been killed or injured over the years, but with the reputation of the past few years, there are countless newcomer disciples who come to sign up for the sect every year, and they have successfully made up for the number of fallen disciples, and their strength has been replenished. After Canghai established a strategic base, the Tianhua Sect obtained the support of countless spiritual materials from these places, and the sect developed rapidly, with the current situation of the Tianhua Sect, it was enough to continue to expand the recruitment of new disciples and further enhance its strength.

Tianhua Sect is changing with each passing day, with the return of the disciples of the Southern Expedition, the sect is hot again, a generation of new people is better than the old people, years of war, more than half of the disciples of the older generation are killed and injured, but most of the many disciples who survived have been successfully promoted to become new elders, and many of the older generation of disciples have successfully stepped into the spiritual realm and become new elders within the sect.

After the end of the Southern Expedition, Dai Tiande held a huge celebration ceremony, and promoted a large number of disciples who had made meritorious contributions in the war and had outstanding strength.

Although Shi Xuan, Jiang Yuheng, and Dai Mengli have not yet returned to the sect, they have also been awarded the title of elder of the sect, and the core disciples such as Shi Xuan, Su Cheng, Yun Yixuan, Zhao Zhuo, Zhong Ling, etc., have all been promoted to the title of elder.

It's just that compared to the elders of the older generation, the age of these core disciples of them is too young, Shi Xuan and almost none of them are more than twenty years old, such a young elder is rare in the history of Tianhua Sect.

This celebration of the merit and award can be regarded as an encouragement to those new disciples and set an example for these new disciples.

Shi Xuan left the vast western region controlled by the Moon Worship Sect and headed towards the Tianhua Sect, on the way through the vast territory controlled by the two behemoths of Tianyin Pavilion and Wind Thunder Pavilion, after years of secret development, Tianyin Pavilion and Wind Thunder Pavilion also glow with a strong atmosphere, their two sects have remained neutral for many years, avoiding the catastrophe of the mainland, and their strength is also unfathomable, and they have a huge voice on the southwest continent.

Shi Xuan rushed towards the sect across half of the southwest continent, and walked through many regions along the way, enveloping the Tianheng Empire, although the Tianheng Empire has begun to restore normal order, and the scourge of the blood demon has been fully controlled, but the horror caused by the super earthquake induced by the Tianxuan Mountain Range is still shocking, and they want to get out of this disaster, and they can't do it in one or two decades.

Danyang Empire, since the war subsided, Jiang Yuheng was in charge, under his governance, now the people have restored normal order, has begun to fully recover their vitality, Danyang is now the four seas of the country and the people, Jiang Yuheng's prestige has also reached the extreme, but Jiang Yuheng's heart, Tianhuazong is his home, he is not attached to the imperial power.

At Jiang Yuheng's insistence, he is preparing to hand over the Danyang Empire to Jiang Yulin, this year Jiang Yulin has gradually matured with the assistance of Li Jiye and others, and will be enough to hold the imperial power in the future, Jiang Yuheng has long been ready for the Zen position, he left the empire since he was a child, and his feelings for this place have also gone with the death of Jiang Bingkun.

Before the Zen throne, Jiang Yuheng had already started to prepare at this moment to help Jiang Yulin eradicate several tumors with huge threats in the country, and the powerful ministers led by the Shadow Moon King of the Shadow Moon Fortress had always been an extremely unstable factor in the Danyang Empire, before he took the throne, he would eradicate this scourge, and Jiang Yuheng would definitely not let this huge trouble fall into Jiang Yulin's hands.

After many days of climbing mountains and mountains, Shi Xuan finally returned to the sphere of influence of Tianhua Sect again, and the continuous expedition for many years also made him tired, Tianhua Sect was his second home, and when the wanderers outside were tired, they would want to return to their own home.

In the territory controlled by the Tianhua Sect, Shi Xuan met a lot of new disciples who were out on duty, these faces looked very fresh, and many of them had just started, but their aura was very extraordinary.

With the full recovery of the aura of heaven and earth, and the abundance of aura on the continent, many children showed excellent cultivation talent at a very young age, and they began to practice earlier than many previous spirit masters, and these newborn spirit masters caught up with the excellent era, and the latecomers prevailed.

Shi Xuan was also shocked, their disciples in that session were already very demonic, but compared with these second disciples who came later, the records they had set before were broken one by one.

Among the newcomer disciples of the Tianhua Sect, there were once again freshmen who had stepped on the tenth-level heavenly rank, and there was more than one person, and they were still younger than when Shi Xuan was introduced, such a talent really made their older generation of disciples embarrassed, the times have changed, and many terrifying talent disciples have been born, and these people have caught up with the excellent cultivation era as soon as they were born.

Shi Xuan flew over the mountain and came to the mountain gate of Tianhua Sect for a long time again, he landed in front of the mountain gate, out of respect for the sect, the disciples were not allowed to trespass on the sect at will.

Most of the disciples guarding the mountain gate are a group of new disciples, when Dangshan County stepped into the sect, all they saw were fresh faces, their immature faces, there were high expectations, and there were also many envy on their faces, watching many of the older generation of disciples in and out of the sect flying away, very envious.

When Shi Xuan entered the sect, those newcomer disciples began to discuss: "You don't know yet, right? The senior brother who entered just now was the biggest dark horse in the sect that year, and the only disciple who broke the record of the tenth level of the heavenly rank that year, and he was also awarded the title of elder by the sect a few days ago, the teenage elder is too terrifying?"

"I've also heard of Senior Brother Shi Xuan, he has made great contributions to the sect over the years, my brother was on a mission in the Tianxuan Mountain Range before, and his whole body was crippled, it was all because of his elixir help that he fully recovered, otherwise my brother might have stopped in the Heavenly Vein Realm for the rest of his life?" said a disciple.

"I also heard that he is the most proud disciple of the Spirit Forging Hall, and he has reached the peak of his spirit forging skills, and he will be a hot figure in the sect in the future?" someone said.

"Among the younger generation of disciples in the sect, the only ones who can compare with him are Su Cheng and Yun Yixuan, and his prestige is not comparable to ordinary core disciples," a disciple sighed.

"I heard that among the disciples who started this year, there were also two demons, both of them successfully broke the record of the tenth level of the Heavenly Order, their age was even younger than Senior Brother Shi Xuan at that time, among them, Senior Brother Ji Cheng and Senior Brother Shi Xuan are also the ultimate controllers of the two elements, it's terrifying, I don't know if Ji Cheng will be able to surpass Senior Brother Shi Xuan in the future?" someone discussed.

"It's hard to say, after all, Senior Brother Shi Xuan has practiced for so many years more than him, and his actual combat is the best among all the rookie disciples," someone said.

As soon as Shi Xuan returned to the sect, he was seen by many disciples, many of whom were disciples of the older generation, who were very familiar with him, and had been on missions together for many years, and had long been familiar with each other.

There were also many new disciples who had not seen him, but they had also heard of his reputation, and many disciples along the way Shi Xuan took the initiative to greet him: "Senior Brother Shi Xuan, you are finally back, thank you for your elixir, if it weren't for you, our disciples might have become wasted people for the rest of their lives?" A disciple who was on a mission in the Tianxuan Mountain Range with Shi Xuan and was seriously injured met Shi Xuan and was grateful.

"A few of you, how are the meridians recovering now?" Shi Xuan recognized these disciples at a glance, they were also considered to have lived and died together at the beginning, and the meridians of several of them were broken at that time, and they almost stopped in the Heavenly Vein Realm.

"It's been a long time ago, if it weren't for the ambergris chalcedony you sent back, we wouldn't have been able to recover our bodies, now that the meridians have improved, and even been greatly strengthened, my cultivation in the future will definitely break through again, I have reached the ninth order of the Heavenly Vein Realm by now, and I am not far from breaking through", a disciple said happily.

"I am also happy for you to see your brothers' injuries improve, and I hope you can go further in the future", Shi Xuan blessed.

"Senior Brother Shi Xuan doesn't know yet, right? A few of your core disciples have already been awarded the title of elder by the sect, and in the future, you will all be at the elder level, and you can even start accepting disciples?" someone said.

"Yes, all the disciples who have made meritorious contributions on the battlefield over the years and whose strength exceeds that of the Spirit Spirit Realm have been promoted to the title of elder, and in the future, the senior brother will be regarded as the person who really holds the real power", someone congratulated.

"Actually, these titles don't matter, whether we are disciples or elders, we will always be disciples of the sect, Tianhua Sect is our family, and we will continue to work hard for the sect in the future," Shi Xuan said calmly.

"Senior Brother Shi Xuan has a broad mind, I admire him, but now the sect is different from the past, the competition between the core disciples within the sect has been extremely fierce, Su Cheng, Yun Yixuan and many other core disciples have attracted a lot of disciples and have received the support of many people, but now Senior Brother Shi Xuan, you have not established your own group, I am afraid that you will be completely suppressed by them in the future?" These disciples who have received Shi Xuan's favor have always supported Shi Xuan.

"I was aware of it many years ago, but as you know, I don't want to have a fierce competition with all the senior brothers in the sect, this kind of power struggle is very likely to push the sect into the abyss, and I don't want to see the former senior brothers end up looking at each other for power," Shi Xuan said.

"But you don't see them as opponents, but they are always on guard against you? As long as you exist, you are a potential threat to them?" said Shi Xuan's supporter.

"Actually, I'm not afraid that they will attack me, what I'm afraid of is that if they attack you people who silently support me, your situation will be dangerous in the future?" Shi Xuan worried.

"Senior Brother Shi Xuan, no matter what happens in the future, you saved the lives of our disciples, we are all your most loyal supporters, if they dare to deal with you, we will definitely not stand idly by," someone said.

"Yes, we support you," said many of the disciples.

"Thank you for your support, don't worry, as long as Shi Xuan is alive, no one dares to bully us, I don't offend anyone, and others don't want to mess with us", Shi Xuan said to his supporters.

"Senior brother, this year, the sect has recruited new people, there are two demon-level disciples who have been hungry in the primary election, and both of them have successfully broken the challenge of the tenth-level heavenly order, and one of them is also a highly compatible person of the two elements like you, and his strength and talent are extremely terrifying, and he is just eleven years old, which is really terrifying?" someone said.

"What's his name?" Shi Xuan asked.

"Ji upholds, the wind element and the fire element are highly compatible, and the talent is not below you", someone said.

"It's really unimaginable, I'd like to see him when the time comes, what about the other one?" Shi Xuan was surprised.

"The other person is called Lei Chenxi, the ultimate controller of the thunder element, and his strength is extremely terrifying," said a disciple.

"Could it be that all the extreme elements in this world have become cabbages? so many appear at once?" Shi Xuan was a little speechless.

"Yes, Uncle Zong is speechless, although the arrival of these talented disciples has strengthened the sect, but this is too much to hit others, they are now the target of many core disciples, Su Cheng and Yun Yixuan, many core disciples are competing for them", a disciple said.

"It seems that in the future, our disciples will also be chased after by the rookie disciples, and you can't take it lightly, right? These young people's cultivation talents are extremely high, you can't slack off?" Shi Xuan said.

"Listen to Senior Brother Shi Xuan's teachings, we won't be left behind," said many supporters.

"Okay, you guys also go to cultivate, if there are any difficulties in the future, you can go directly to the Spirit Forging Hall to find me, whoever dares to bully you in the future and report my name, whoever feels that you are your enemy, is the enemy of me Shi Xuan", Shi Xuan said.

"It's enough to have a senior brother, let's leave first", many disciples dispersed, and Shi Xuan continued to walk towards the Spirit Forging Hall.

The news of Shi Xuan's return was seen by countless disciples, and it soon spread to the ears of many core disciples, which also made them feel pressure, as the most talented disciple, Shi Xuan has great competitive potential, and has always been feared by Su Cheng and Yun Yixuan, these core disciples.

The Spirit Forging Hall is still the same as usual, the entire mountain peak is filled with green smoke, these are all coming from the forging workshop, Shi Xuan walked outside the many forging workshops, listening to the crisp and pleasant forging sound, based on these sounds alone, Shi Xuan can judge the merits of these disciples' forging skills at this moment, this is the result of the improvement of forging techniques, and now in the entire sect, the spirit forging skills can be with him for a long time There are no more than three disciples.

He has already begun to walk out of his own path along the way, even Du Chunhua can teach him not much, in the future, the path of the spirit forging master will be almost interrupted, and the broken path needs to be continued by them, the new generation of spirit forging masters.

Most of the elders of the older generation of Tianhua Sect chose to retreat, and they have delegated power to the hands of the new generation of disciples, and the actual controller of the Spirit Forging Hall at this moment is Du Qifeng, although he is the son of Du Chunhua, but with his strength and spirit forging skills are enough to convince the public, now seventy percent of the disciples of the Spirit Forging Hall are personally taught by him Spirit Forging Technique, once for the veritable hall master of the Spirit Forging Hall, and now he has also been promoted to the title of elder, and has a huge voice within the sect.

The same is true of the other nine peak masters, they are basically the first disciples to take charge of their respective disciples, and they are also trained to become the next peak master or hall master, Tianhua Peak as the core of Tianhua Sect's full strength, has always been very important, and now it is Lin Zixu who is in charge of Tianhua Peak, before the battle in the sea, he was seriously injured, and was pierced by the mirage prince Mirage's war spear piercing his body, although the external injury recovered, but the unique demonic curse power of the Mirage Dragon Clan has been tormenting him, even now it has not been able to be completely cured, Lin Zixu has been dealing with the affairs of the sect with injuries these days。

As the core of the power of the Tianhua Sect, even if Lin Zixu was seriously injured, he did not slack off in the slightest, he never gave up the status of the future successor easily, with the prestige of this southern expedition, his position in the sect was difficult to shake.

Shi Xuan walked in the Spirit Forging Hall, and met a lot of disciples along the way, they all took the initiative to greet Shi Xuan, he had a transcendent status in the Spirit Forging Hall, even if he wanted to compare with Du Qifeng, it was not much better, his Spirit Forging Technique became the benchmark of the Spirit Forging Hall, and many disciples asked him for advice.

When he came to the forging between himself and Zhao Zhuo again, he heard a crisp and pleasant forging sound, and after a while, a fifth-order spiritual material suddenly lost its brilliance, Zhao Zhuo put down his forging hammer gloomily, obviously very frustrated, since he stepped into the spirit realm, he returned to the spirit forging hall and has been immersed in the cultivation of the fifth-order spirit forging technique, but it took a long time to fail to succeed, which made him feel a double blow, during this period of wasting countless spiritual materials, making him feel extremely distressed.

Shi Xuan observed behind him for a long time, and finally discovered the root cause, which was the same situation that Shi Xuan encountered when he first encountered the fifth-order spirit forging, Zhao Zhuo was in a hurry, and his repeated failures caused him to refuse to give up, and he consumed a lot of soul power for many days in a row, and the result was getting worse and worse.

At the moment when Zhao Zhuo was annoyed, he suddenly felt the deceased pure soul power coming from behind him, and his soul power suddenly filled, "Now, will you try again?" a familiar voice came.

Zhao Zhuo turned around and found that Shi Xuan had been behind him for a long time: "When did you come back?" Zhao Zhuo looked confused.

"At least an hour, look at your tired soul, spirit forging has extremely high requirements for soul power, you have been immersed in this for many days in a row, your soul is tired to the extreme, naturally it is impossible to succeed, I have been behind you for so long and you haven't found out, this is caused by serious exhaustion of soul power, go back and rest for a few days, and try again?" Shi Xuan said.

"Aren't I in a hurry? You've succeeded before, and if I continue to fall behind, won't it be a hind for you?" Zhao Zhuo said.

"In addition to hard work, the spirit forging technique also needs the cooperation of pure soul power, in the future, when the soul power is not full, don't try it easily, this will hurt the origin?" Shi Xuan persuaded.

"Okay, I'll believe you once, and this time I'll come back just in time for you to help me confirm it?" Zhao Zhuo said.

"Why didn't you see the old man?" Shi Xuan asked.

"The master went into retreat, most of the elders and hall masters of the older generation began to retreat, many first disciples began to take over the Ten Peaks, and the sect is ready to decentralize power," Zhao Zhuo said.

"Originally, I wanted to study hard with the old master, but it seems that there is no chance?" Shi Xuan has not learned some special skills from his master since he reached the fifth order, is there a chance this time.

"The master told us before the retreat that the path of the spirit forging master in the future has been broken, and we need our junior disciples to continue to explore, even he can't get out of the way," Zhao Zhuo said.

"I have expected this for a long time, but I have never dared to face it, but since the predecessors were able to open up this path, we and the juniors should not lag behind them, holding this meeting Hongyanling can be regarded as having a lot of gains, and when you practice for a few days, I will just have a good discussion with you, and I will also explore the way forward," Shi Xuan said.

"It's okay, you haven't returned these days, and there is also a dark tide in the sect, the battles between many core disciples are abnormal, the battles between factions are gradually surfacing, and the wind and waves in the sect are gradually emerging, you also have to be prepared?" Zhao Zhuo said meaningfully.

"I've already gotten news from other disciples, don't worry, with the prestige we have worked hard to build up over the years, it's not easy for them to bring us down, if people don't offend me, I won't offend people, we are not soft persimmons, and it depends on whether his teeth are tough enough to deal with us?" Shi Xuan said confidently.

"I just like to see you look confident," Zhao Zhuo said happily.

"By the way, I'll give you a few good things", Shi Xuan took out a few grandmaster-level fire-type weapons from Na Ling, these weapons were all found from within Huangchao Mountain, and Shi Xuan specially brought them to Zhao Zhuo and a few fire-type spirit masters.

"Wow, Shi Xuan has gained a lot this time? These things are not common, even the head of the sect and other uncles have to be greedy?" Zhao Zhuo held a war spear and couldn't put it down.

"You can keep the rest, right? If you see which disciple is pleasing to your eyes, you can win it over by the way, which will also be beneficial in the future," Shi Xuan said.
