Zhang Yuhe picked up the jade token and examined it carefully.
After Feng Xiaotian's engraving, the jade token had completely changed its appearance.
Not only had the color of the jade token changed from purple to red, but the patterns and content on it had also undergone significant changes.
The identity jade token of an Inner Sect Disciple was engraved with the mountain and river patterns of the Dao Saint Sect.
However, the jade token now depicted a tall mountain peak.
Dao Sheng Peak.
The grand hall at the top of the mountain peak was faintly visible.
That was the Ancestor Hall.
The text content also changed from Inner Sect Disciple to Elder Zhang Yuhe of the Dao Saint Sect.
"So, I'm an Elder now," he mused, examining the jade token in his hand.
Zhang Yuhe hadn't been in the Dao Saint Sect for long, and he was also a player from Blue Star.
To be honest, he originally didn't have a strong sense of belonging to the Dao Saint Sect.
However, thinking of Feng Xiaotian's encouragement to him, as well as the Cultivation Technique, Divine Ability, and various Cultivation conveniences previously provided by the Dao Saint Sect, Zhang Yuhe suddenly had a peculiar feeling.
He felt that the Dao Saint Sect was his second home.
If one day the Dao Saint Sect encountered a crisis, he would fight for it with all his might.
Just as Zhang Yuhe was lost in thought, Lu Mingfang, who was beside him, spoke up.
"Let's go back to Phoenix Cry Hall first."
After speaking, he strode towards the foot of the mountain.
The three quickly descended the mountain, and it wasn't long before they returned to Phoenix Cry Hall.
Upon returning to the hall, Lu Mingfang waved his hand, and a huge Sect map appeared before the three of them.
He smiled and said, "Since you are now Sect Elders, you will need to re-select your mountain Immortal Cave."
"Take a look yourselves, and tell me when you've chosen."
Zhang Yuhe and Li Tian quickly looked at the map.
The map was similar to the one he had seen for the first time with Cheng Xujing.
It was just magnified several times by Lu Mingfang.
Different colors on the map distinguished different areas.
The mountain peaks where Elders resided were marked in red.
Looking at the large black area on the map, Zhang Yuhe was still somewhat curious.
He had asked Cheng Xujing about it last time, but Cheng Xujing didn't know.
Elder Lu should know, right?
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuhe pointed to the black area on the map and curiously asked Lu Mingfang, "Elder Lu, is there anything special about those black areas?"
Before Lu Mingfang could speak, Li Tian, who was beside him, explained, "I heard there's a passage there that connects to the Demon Realm, the same passage through which the Demon Race invaded Yu Fan Heaven a hundred thousand years ago, but it's been sealed now."
"That's right, the black area is indeed where the spatial passage is located. Old Ancestor Wu Yuemin guards it year-round to prevent the Demon God Sect from secretly opening the passage."
"Unlike other places, the spatial barrier there is much weaker. Once the passage opens, Mahayana Realm Demon Race members can enter."
"The Sect Master has long ordered that no one is allowed to enter the black area. You must remember not to enter the black area without authorization."
After Lu Mingfang finished explaining, he sternly warned them.
"Yes."
Zhang Yuhe was just curious; he had no intention of courting death.
He continued to look at the map, where various mountain peaks were clearly displayed.
Some of the mountain peaks were already marked with names, indicating they were occupied.
Zhang Yuhe roughly counted them, and there were 186 mountain peaks marked with names.
In other words, the Dao Saint Sect had a total of 186 Elders.
Now, adding him and Li Tian, that would be 188.
The number was indeed quite large.
One must know that these Elders not only included those in the Void Refining Realm but also some with Combination Realm Cultivation.
186 Void Refining and Body Integration Elders.
This was the foundation of the Dao Saint Sect's ability to suppress Yu Fan Heaven.
Not to mention, above the Elders, there were also Feng Xiaotian and Wu Yuemin, two Great Ascension Old Ancestors.
Facing this immense power, no one in Yu Fan Heaven could stir up trouble.
Even the Demon God Sect could only secretly engage in minor activities.
As for Zhao Mingyue, the leader of the Demon God Sect herself, she never dared to show her true form.
If she dared to show up, she would probably be instantly killed.
After finishing looking at all the red areas on the map, Zhang Yuhe politely said to Li Tian, "Senior Brother, you go first?"
"Junior Brother, you're too polite. You go first."
After some polite refusals, Zhang Yuhe pointed to a large Lake on the map and said to Lu Mingfang, "Elder Lu, I'll choose here."
The Lake was quite large, spanning several thousand miles.
In the center of the Lake, there were also two tall mountain peaks.
The mountain peaks stood tall in the Lake, reaching into the clouds, appearing somewhat abrupt.
The one Zhang Yuhe chose was one of these mountain peaks.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Tian said, "Then I'll choose the mountain peak next to it."
Zhang Yuhe looked at Li Tian with a slightly strange expression.
Brother, what are you doing?
You're a fire-elemental spiritual body; why are you choosing the center of a Lake as your Cultivation Immortal Cave, just like me?
Of course.
Being in a Lake area doesn't mean there would be a lack of fire spiritual Qi; it truly wouldn't affect Cultivation.
It's just that Li Tian's choice made him feel a bit odd.
Could this guy have some strange ideas?
Zhang Yuhe subconsciously moved two steps to the side, putting some distance between himself and Li Tian.
Seeing that they had made their choices, Lu Mingfang waved his hand, put away the map, and said to the two, "Since you've chosen your Immortal Caves, then go back and Cultivate well."
"The true test comes after Void Refining. Some Elders in the Sect have been in Void Refining for thousands of years, yet their Cultivation hasn't Advanced at all. I hope you won't be like that."
"Yes."
Zhang Yuhe was about to turn and leave when he suddenly remembered that Wang Guofeng was still outside the Sect.
He turned back and asked Lu Mingfang, "Elder Lu, I want to bring someone into the Sect. What procedures do I need to follow?"
Lu Mingfang smiled and said, "You don't need to do anything. As a Sect Elder, you can just bring him in directly."
Hearing this, Zhang Yuhe was very surprised.
It can be like this?
The Dao Saint Sect isn't a marketplace; aren't they afraid of people from the Demon God Sect sneaking in?
Lu Mingfang seemed to know Zhang Yuhe's thoughts, and he continued proudly, "Don't worry. The Sect has an Immortal Artifact that monitors all directions. Once someone with malicious intent enters the Sect's range, the Immortal Artifact will issue a warning."
Immortal Artifact?
Zhang Yuhe couldn't help but widen his mouth.
The Dao Saint Sect has such an Advanced thing?
Thinking of the power of the Immortal-grade Cultivation Technique, the Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture, one could imagine how incredible an Immortal Artifact must be.
Not only was he surprised, but Li Tian, who was beside him, also had an incredulous expression.
Seeing their expressions, Lu Mingfang smiled and said, "Don't think too much. The Immortal Artifact left by the Ancestral Master requires immortal Qi to activate."
"Naturally, no one in the Lower Realm has immortal Qi, so this unattended Immortal Artifact can only automatically monitor and warn; it has no offensive capabilities."
"So that's how it is."
Now Zhang Yuhe finally understood a little.
Just as he thought.
Since the Dao Saint Sect had an Immortal Artifact, how could the Demon Race invasion a hundred thousand years ago have lasted for hundreds of years?
Who could withstand a single blow from an Immortal Artifact?
If the Immortal Artifact couldn't be used by anyone, then it made sense.
