Upon hearing the Saint Land’s patrolling elder’s words, Duan Ling Tian nodded and continued to shift his gaze upward.
In the sky, above the gigantic volcano, numerous islands were floating in the air. Buildings were thinly scattered on these islands. Numerous suspended islands surrounded a gigantic floating island like stars surrounding a moon. This gigantic floating island was the Main Island.

That gigantic floating island is the Main Island of our Fire Worship Sect’s Saint Land. It’s also the place where you’ll be staying,
the Saint Land patrolling elder told Duan Ling Tian,
As for those islands surrounding the Main Island, they’re the residences of our Fire Worship Sect’s Saint Land’s Bronze Flame Elders and true disciples. Each of the Bronze Flame Elders and true disciples has their own floating islands.


True disciples?
Duan Ling Tian knew about the Bronze Flame Elders, but this was his first time hearing about true disciples. He turned to look at the Saint Land’s patrolling elder with a confused expression and asked,
Elder, what are true disciples?

The Saint Land’s patrolling elder responded to Duan Ling Tian’s question,
True disciples are the most outstanding disciples in our Fire Worship Sect’s Saint Land. They’re also the future pillars of the sect. There are two ways to become a true disciple. One, one has to possess an indigo Innate Spiritual Root or higher with a cultivation base above the Divine Saint Stage. Second, by having a cultivation base at the Saint Celestial Stage disciple!



Monstrous geniuses who possessed indigo Innate Spiritual Root or higher?
Cultivation base at the Saint Celestial Stage?
Upon hearing the Saint Land’s patrolling elder’s words, Duan Ling Tian’s eyes narrowed instantly. He finally understood what the two words ‘true disciple’ meant. True disciples represented the future of the Fire Worship Sect.
If that was the case, then it made sense that they had their own floating islands around the Main Island.
Suddenly, as though he was reminded of something, Duan Ling Tian asked,
Elder, could it be that Silver Flame Elders, Golden Flame Elders, Guardians, the Vice Sect Leaders, and the Sect Leader are residing in the Main Island?
His eyes were trained on the gigantic island above him.

Of course not!
The Saint Land’s patrolling elder shook his head and said,
In our Fire Worship Sect, whoever has a position as a Silver Flame Elder or higher would be given a residence on the Otherworldly Island.


Otherworldly Island?
Duan Ling Tian was puzzled.

Follow me.
After the Saint Land’s patrolling elder motioned to Duan Ling Tian, he rose up into the air.
Duan Ling Tian followed him closely. He discovered the Saint Land’s patrolling elder was bringing him higher and higher. They continued to fly upward even after they passed the Main Island.
At the same time, Duan Ling Tian had a better look at the Main Island.


In terms of size, the gigantic Main Island was not any smaller than the Black Turtle Sanctum. There were mountains and lakes on it and many lush green plants. There were also many buildings on it.
The buildings were built and organized in an orderly manner. From afar, it looked pleasant to the eyes
‘Don’t tell me the Otherworldly Island is above the clouds in the sky?’ Duan Ling Tian speculated inwardly when he saw the Saint Land’s patrolling elder passing through the clouds and flew even higher.
He realized he had guessed correctly when the Saint Land’s patrolling elder passed through the clouds, and he saw the scenery behind the clouds.

These are the Otherworldly Islands?
After passing through the clouds, Duan Ling Tian looked at the numerous floating islands in the distance.
These floating islands situated above the clouds above the Fire Worship Sect’s Saint Land’s Main Island were separated into four levels.
There was only one floating island on the highest level.
The level below had five floating islands.
Further down, there were ten floating islands.
At the bottom, there were 50 floating islands.



That’s right! These are the Otherworldly Islands!
The Saint Land’s patrolling elder nodded.
Look at that highest Otherworldly Island. That’s the cultivation place of the Sect Leader of the Fire Worship Sect! Currently, Lord Sect Leader is in closed-door cultivation.

The Saint Land’s patrolling elder had a respectful expression on his face when he spoke about the Sect Leader.

The Sect Leader of the Fire Worship Sect?
When Duan Ling Tian heard his words, he narrowed his eyes immediately as a cold glint flashed in the depths of his eyes.
At this moment, due to the Sect Leader being in closed-door cultivation, his wife and daughter were merely being held in the Saint Land Enforcement Hall and were not punished yet.
However, once the Sect Leader of the Fire Worship Sect came out of closed-door cultivation, the Sect Leader will be punished.
Their punishment would probably be death.
If it was possible, he wished the Sect Leader of the Fire Worship Sect would not come out of closed-door cultivation forever. However, Duan Ling Tian knew this was impossible.

The five Otherworldly Islands below are the cultivation places of our Fire Worship Sect’s two Vice Sect Leaders and three Guardians,
the Saint Land’s patrolling elder added.
At the same time, Duan Ling Tian also regained his senses.
He had heard of the two Vice Sect Leaders of the Fire Worship Sect before.


As for the three Guardians, their names were famous! Rumor had it that the three Guardians were all old powerhouses from the Fire Worship Sect. Their positions in the Fire Worship Sect were equivalent to the Four Great Kamapas of the Black Kshetra Sect that was equally as famous as the Fire Worship Sect.

Xie Zong!
Duan Ling Tian could not help but recall Elder Xie Zong from the Black Kshetra Sect when he thought about the Four Great Kamapas from the Black Kshetra Sect. He had snatched his Devilseal Tablet and killed Elder Ku in the Azure Cloud Mansion in the Lower Province previously.
As far as he knew, Xie Zong was the son of the Golden Lion King, one of the Four Great Kamapas in the Black Kshetra Sect! He had already regarded Xie Zong as his mortal enemy since then.
However, Xie Zong was too strong. He could only put aside their enmity for the time being.
When he had gotten stronger, he would definitely look for Xie Zong and kill him to avenge Elder Ku and snatch the Devilseal Tablet back.
‘Xie Zong… Just you wait! I’ll be coming for you soon! At that time, I’ll show you that the person you regarded as an ant previously is able to kill you!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as his eyes shone coldly.
Meanwhile, the Saint Land’s patrolling elder who was still talking caused Duan Ling Tian to regain his senses.

Then ten Other Worldly Islands below are the cultivation places of the ten Golden Flame Elders of our Fire Worship Sect… However, most of the time, these the Otherworldly Islands are usually vacant because the ten Golden Flame Elders are either sent to the Four Symbols Sanctums to be in charge there or to the various major mines at the Four Symbols Sanctums! You came from the Four Symbols Sanctums so I’m sure you know how important the Four Symbols Sanctums and the major mines in the Four Symbols Sanctums are to our Fire Worship Sect, right?!
The Saint Land’s patrolling elder continued to add.
Duan Ling Tian nodded.
Naturally, he knew about this.


In the Fire Worship Sect, not only did the Four Symbols Sanctums provided the Fire Worship Sect with new talents, but it was also the gate to the Fire Worship Sect.
If somebody came to attack the Fire Worship Sect, the Four Symbols Sanctums would be the first to bear the brunt!
With four Golden Flame Elders guarding such an important place, one would feel more at ease.
As for the major mines in the Four Symbols Sanctums, they were the second gate of the Four Symbols Sanctums. If the Four Symbols Sanctums fell, they would stand in and block the second wave of attack.
Coupled with the fact that the major mines had first-grade Saint Stone ores, the major mines in the Four Symbols Sanctums were also guarded by the remaining six Golden Flame Elders of the Fire Worship Sect.
This way why it was so difficult to meet a Golden Flame Elder in the Fire Worship Sect’s Saint Land.
Usually, these ten Golden Flame Elders would stay in the Four Symbols Sanctums and the major mines in the Four Symbols Sanctums.
Those in charge in the Fire Worship Sect were the Silver Flame Elders and the Bronze Flame Elders. These group of Silver and Bronze Flame Elders in the Saint Land was managed by the two Vice Sect Leaders of the Fire Worship Sect. In the Fire Worship Sect, the two Vice Sect Leaders were the strongest after the Sect Leader and the Guardians. Not only that, they were even stronger than the ten Golden Flame Elders.
For this reason, the Fire Worship Sect’s Saint Land that was guarded by them was also the third line of defense of the Fire Worship Sect.
If a powerful enemy attacked, the three lines of defense would be more than enough to stall for time until the three strongest Guardians and Sect Leader make their appearance.
‘Fire Worship Sect… As expected from one of the three strongest forces in the Dao Martial Saint Land!’ Duan Ling Tian mused inwardly.

As for the remaining 50 Otherworldly Islands, I’m sure you can guess those are the residences for the Silver Flame Elders,
the Saint Land’s patrolling elder said.
Duan Ling Tian nodded. It was not difficult to guess after all.

You can look at the Otherworldly Islands from afar. However, if you approach it, let alone you, even I would be severely punished!
A hint of fear could be seen the Saint Land’s patrolling elder’s eyes when he reached the end of his sentence.
The Saint Land’s patrolling elder was merely a Bronze Flame Elder in the Fire Worship Sect’s Saint Land. He was still not qualified enough to cultivate in the Otherworldly Island.

Let’s go! I’ll bring you to register yourself. The registration area of our Fire Worship Sect’s Saint Land is at the Main Island.
The Saint Land’s patrolling elder motioned to Duan Ling Tian once again. As soon as he finished speaking, he descended to the Main Island that was located far below.
Duan Ling Tian, naturally, followed him as well. When he got closer to the Main Island, he saw many people on the island.
These people were wearing the exclusive uniform of a Saint Land disciple.
The chest part of the uniform was embroidered with a fiery red flame. It was a signet.
This was something the exclusive uniforms for the elders and disciples from each of the Four Symbols Sanctum did not have.
‘The exclusive uniforms of the Saint Land’s Silver Flame Elders in the Punishment Zone of the Four Symbols Sanctums’ First Mine and this Saint Land’s patrolling elder also have this signet. I guess it’s the symbol of the Saint Land!’ It was not difficult to guess this as well.
