Chapter 634: Chapter 62: Return to Kunlun, Follow-up Surges Chapter 634: Chapter 62: Return to Kunlun, Follow-up Surges “This relic was discovered by the two True Ones, and I will not speak of it to anyone else,” Shi Liuli said calmly.
“However, it seems that each time the statue’s trial is activated, an incense stick must be lit from the burner.”
“There are two sticks of incense left in the burner at the moment, which means it can be activated two more times.
After that, we will need to find more incense sticks in order to continue using it.”
The meaning of these words was very clear: it suggested that they should use up the incense until only one stick remained, then hand it over to the sect.
After all, the sect would then figure out how to find more incense, and they could also exchange it for rewards from the sect, thereby maximizing the benefits.
Qiu Changtian gave a slight nod, and just as Xu Yinglian was about to light the incense, she discovered that it couldn’t be lit.
“According to the sect rules, any elite disciple who has made great contributions is permitted by the Sect Leader to enter the Cardinal Hall, but they can participate in a trial only once every three hundred years,” the statue suddenly spoke.
“Your actions, ignoring the sect rules, will be recorded for the sect elders to review.”
Qiu Changtian: …
Xu Yinglian: …
Shi Liuli: …
They finally realized that they had overlooked one thing: after lighting the incense, all the cultivators in the hall could participate in the trial and obtain scripture scrolls and magical treasures.
That is to say, if they filled the hall with hundreds of cultivators, then once a stick of incense was lit, the Donghua Sect would lose hundreds of magical treasures and scripture scrolls-which was definitely unacceptable for the sect.

As a cultivational sect, it was necessary to distribute cultivation resources to cultivators regularly to help them gain sufficient strength.
They also needed to control the frequency and magnitude of distribution well.
Otherwise, if they distributed too much, not to mention the emptiness of the sect’s internal reserves, if the cultivators who received the resources fell or betrayed the sect, the sect’s loss would also multiply.
Currently, in terms of distributing resources, the Demon Cult Six Paths uses an involution model, distributing to those with higher strength, whereas the Three Pure Orthodox Sect uses an audit model, distributing to those with higher potential.
But whether it’s the Orthodox Sect or the Demon Cult, they actually set up many thresholds, not allowing their cultivators to frequently participate in secret realm trials to acquire treasures.
According to what the statue said, the Donghua Sect naturally also set similar thresholds: first, one must have made contributions to enter this Cardinal Hall; second, one can only acquire a treasure each time an incense stick is lit; third, each person can only enter once every three hundred years.
Therefore, the frequency and quantity of resource distribution by the Cardinal Hall were well controlled.

For Qiu Changtian and the others, this undeniably blocked their path to repeatedly reap benefits.
They could only use the existence of this relic to negotiate benefits with the sect.
“Speaking of which,” Qiu Changtian, understanding Shi Liuli’s implications, mused, “If our Kunlun wants to send people here, we must go through the East Sea (inevitably involving Penglai), so Kunlun and Penglai will have to negotiate sooner or later.”
“It might be better for us and Liuli to each return to Kunlun and Penglai to contact the Sect Leader, take the lead, and arrange this matter… What do you think?”
Xu Yinglian thoughtfully considered that, compared to “discovering an ancient sect relic,” it was definitely more comprehensive and demonstrated greater vision to say, “We discovered an ancient sect relic together with a Penglai cultivator, and as it is located in Penglai territory, we are unavoidably involved, so we wish to arrange a meeting between the two sects.”
“No problem,” she nodded in agreement.
“That’s very good,” Shi Liuli also concurred.
“Then I will go back first to gauge the Sect Leader’s intentions.”
Though it was about gauging intentions, everyone knew that the Master of Xuan Du would most likely agree right away.
As the leader of the Orthodox Sect, Kunlun has always been Penglai’s biggest client and guardian, and Penglai cannot afford to antagonize Kunlun over such matters.
So, they bid each other farewell and returned to their respective sects by sword control.
Back in Kunlun, upon reaching the Jade Void Palace, Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian reported everything in detail to the Ziwei Master.
The Ziwei Master, with a composed expression, listened and then nodded lightly.
With a flick of his horsetail whisk, he said:
“I am aware of this matter.
You may go back now; the sect will handle it properly.”
Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian looked at each other and then could only take their leave.
Upon leaving the Jade Void Palace, Xu Yinglian couldn’t help but exclaim:
“It’s just like Master to remain unflustered upon hearing such significant news.”
Qiu Changtian casually echoed a sentence, secretly thinking, “How could that be possible?
It’s clear that my master simply never heard of the ‘Donghua Sect’ before, so he had no expression on his face.”
“Perhaps after we leave, he would immediately go and seek out the Chi Song Immortal!”
………
In the Heaven’s Gate Hall of Kunlun, the Chi Song Immortal still sat at the pinnacle of Heavenly Gate Peak, surrounded by a go board, holding black pieces in his left hand and pinching white pieces in his right, playing by himself with great enjoyment.
The Ziwei Master ascended to Heavenly Gate Peak and greeted with a bow of the head:
“Immortal.”
“Wait a moment,” Chi Song Immortal raised his hand, gesturing for him to be silent, “I’ve just thought of a brilliant move…”
He swiftly played several pieces and then fell into deep contemplation again.
“Immortal!” Seeing no response, the Ziwei Master, out of helplessness, raised his voice and asked, “Have you ever heard of ‘Donghua Sect’?”
Chi Song Immortal was stunned for a moment, then asked:
“Where did you hear this name?”
“Changgeng and Qiong Ying found remains of the Donghua Sect in the East Sea,” the Ziwei Master replied.
Chi Song Immortal was silent for a moment, then tossed the chess pieces in his hand into the chesspot:
“Follow me to Penglai Jade Pure Temple.”
To go to Penglai, that is to say, Chi Song Immortal was prepared to personally take him to investigate the Donghua Sect ruins.
The Ziwei Master quickly followed, asking:
“What exactly is the Donghua Sect?”
Chi Song Immortal kept walking without stopping and said:
“I also know little of this matter.
It was only during the Clarify Cult era that my great master once mentioned it, but it was also mentioned vaguely.”
Thus, the Ziwei Master wisely closed his mouth.
He noticed that Chi Song Immortal had used the term “great master” rather than “honored master,” which meant that it was that powerful being who had mentioned the Donghua Sect…
“Hmph,” Chi Song Immortal said with a cold laugh, “To resist the convergence of the Heavenly Spheres with the mere power of one sect is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.”
The Ziwei Master didn’t speak, for he knew that the phrase “convergence of the Heavenly Spheres” was related to the origin of the world, not something the Nascent Soul Rank could inquire into.
The two of them hurried to East Sea Penglai on their swords and saw the Wan Xiang Immortal and the Master of Xuandu had already been waiting there, coming up to meet them.
“Chi Song,” the Wan Xiang Immortal said, frowning, “how did the juniors suddenly find the Donghua Sect?”
“Some time ago, Changgeng told me he was going to search for a place housing Thunder Method,” the Ziwei Master explained, “but who would’ve thought they could actually find that Donghua Sect.”
“What did they get from Donghua Sect?” the Master of Xuandu promptly cautioned him, “Make sure not to bring calamity upon us!”
The Ziwei Master was startled and saw that Chi Song Immortal nodded.
He hurriedly said:
“I’ll send a Flying Sword message to ask right away.”
As he spoke, he threw a small sword from his sleeve, which directly flew towards the west.
