Chapter 2601: Perfect Form

i Xiaocheng and Su Yuanzhou... I will carve this into your tombstone!"Bu Fan raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "Oh, so you're seeking revenge for that old geezer Su Yuanzhou... You should have said...The palace was quite massive, surrounded by crimson fire lotuses, which were very eye-catching.

Fāng Yǔ retracted his gaze and looked around.

Surrounded by mountains on all sides, the hills are lush and green, teeming with life and vibrant energy.

"This is what the environment of a sect within the fourth-rank group is like It's quite good." Fang Yu blinked and said.

"Forgive me, before Fang Daen we're just a minor sect. Burning the palace is nothing to us." Zhixi chuckled beside him.

And at this moment, Tianlu and Yixuan who were trailing behind lowered their heads, both with displeasure in their eyes.

They thought Senior Sister Zhixi had put herself too low in front of Fang Yu.

The Burning Palace is considered a second-rank sect within the Tian Sha clan. Even if it's not top tier, it definitely isn't insignificant!

Now that Fang Yu is back at the Burning Palace with me, with elders, sect masters, and even the Supreme Elders present, I'm not necessarily afraid of him!

Isn't it just a personal clan cultivator!

Human cultivators are not considered highly regarded throughout the Yunmù Continent!

Even Fang Yu, as strong as he is, knows that there's always someone stronger out there!

There are many powerful clans and powerful cultivators, he can't be so arrogant!

Of course, these angry and embarrassed words they could only keep to themselves, never daring to speak them out loud.

Because of Fang Yu's displayed strength, whether it surpasses that of the elders and the Sect Master remains uncertain...

But to kill them both would be child's play.

Besides, they dared not disobey Senior Sister Zhixi either.

Regardless, Zhixi's current attitude is to try to get closer to this human cultivator.

They are dissatisfied, but they can only bear it.

"Come, Fang Daren, I shall lead you to visit our Burning Palace first, and then to the teahouse. I will ask the Headmaster to come meet with you." Zhixi made a slight bow and gestured with her hand invitingly.

"Master Sure, let's go," Fang Yu narrowed his eyes and nodded.

Zhixi immediately turned around and made a gesture to Tianlu and Yixuan, signaling them to leave first.

Tianlu and Yixuan breathed a sigh of relief, eager to leave.

But before leaving, Tianlu used divine sense to transmit a sound and asked, "Senior Sister, about the death of the three junior brothers, we…"

"First, give the sect master a brief summary of what happened. I will go into more detail later." Zhixi said calmly.

"Alright, then we'll take our leave first." Tian Lu nodded and left with Yi Xuan.

While Zhixi led Fang Yu alone, they slowly walked towards the palace engulfed in flames.

Stepping out of the valley where the teleportation platform was located, what came into view was a grand sight of a large sect.

Amidst swirling clouds and mist, hundreds of disciples sat in meditation on a large martial arts platform, clearly practicing some kind of technique.

And surrounding the martial arts arena were sixteen mountains, each two to three hundred meters high.

Every mountain's body bears inscribed colossal characters.

"These sixteen mountains are controlled by the sixteen elders of the Burning Palace," Zhixi introduced, "The one directly in front, named Dúfēng, is the mountain controlled by the Great Elder."

"How many disciples did you have in total when you burned the palace" Fang Yu asked, looking at the martial arts stage in the distance.

"Here is the inner sect. There are only eight hundred disciples in the inner sect, and the elders will select the best from the inner sect disciples to take as personal disciples. For example, the Grand Elder has eight personal disciples..." Zhixi replied.

"Only eight hundred" Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and said.

"The number of inner disciples is indeed not many, all selected from the elite among the outer disciples." Zhixi replied, "There are roughly 20,000 outer disciples in our Fen Gong."

"Oh... I see." Fang Yu nodded.

He looked at the martial arts platform ahead, his eyes flickering slightly, and a new doubt arose in his heart.

For he saw that the meditating inner sect disciples were almost human in form, with only the mark on their foreheads distinguishing them from humankind.

Could this be the true nature of the Tian Sha clan

Fang Yu also voiced this doubt.

“Our Tian Sha clan, including the vast majority of its members, chose to affiliate with the Divine Clan system many years ago… And all the foundational cultivation techniques our entire clan practices were bestowed by the Divine Clan.” Zhi Xi replied, “After these techniques are cultivated to a small degree of success, we can cultivate divine forms, which is what we look like now. We strive to cultivate, always getting closer and closer to the Divine Clan…”

"So, all the races affiliated with the Divine Clan look similar to you" Fang Yu asked in surprise.

"Yes, as long as you cultivate a divine form, basically everyone looks like this." Zixie replied.

Fang Yu nodded.

That is to say, the appearance of this divine race being is not far off from that of the human race!

Even one could say, there is no difference.

Why is this happening

Initially, on the Tiānchén Star, those pseudo-human races were originally groups that had split off from the human race. It's understandable that they looked similar to humans.

Could the divine race on this Yunyun Continent possibly have also split from the human race

Why are they so similar in appearance

Were the Protoss deliberately cultivated by a deity to resemble humans

Fang Yu recalled what the guide from the Holy Academy had said back then...

The human form is the most perfect form...

"Fang Da-neng, would you like me to introduce which mountain peak each elder oversees"

At this moment, Zhixi's words interrupted Fangyu's thoughts.

Fang Yu came to his senses and shook his head, saying: "I'm not interested in these. Just take me to the teahouse and let me see your master."

"...Okay."

Zhixi replied.

Then, she led Fang Yu along the path beside them, heading towards the deepest part where a palace suspended in mid-air burned with fire lotuses.

Along the way, she met many disciples. Upon seeing Zhixi, they all bowed respectfully with utmost deference.

While Zhixi's attitude was very calm.

"It seems your status within the palace isn't low, eh" Fang Yu raised an eyebrow.

"It seems I've been lucky, nothing more than being favored by the headmaster," Zhixi chuckled lightly.

"Then, what exactly is your identity" Fang Yu asked.

"I am the master's true disciple and also the Holy Maiden of the Burning Palace," Zixi replied truthfully.

"Holy maiden... it seems your cultivation talent is quite good." Fang Yu said.

"Before Fang Da-neng, I am nothing." Zhixi bowed slightly, her posture as low as it could be.

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes, looking at Zhixi, without saying a word.

This Zhizhi gives off an air of profound cunning, hidden deep beneath the surface.

Perhaps, he's also a seasoned old monster who has cultivated for many years and understands the ways of the world.

As for now, Fang Yu still doesn't know Zhixi's true purpose.

But next, you will meet the master of Burning Palace.

The other party's intentions should also become clear soon, there is no need to rush.

"Fang DaNeng, my young lady wants to know, what kind of intelligence were you looking for before My lady will ask the sect leader later." ZhiXi asked.

"I want all the information you have on the Human race," Fang Yu replied calmly.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!."This period of time, I've been thinking, why did you have the confidence to kill me... Now I understand, it turns out you've already allied with this demonic spirit." The Sea God Emperor said softly...
