Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

"Brothers and sisters, I propose that we all together recite scriptures and offer sacrifices for them, for these heroes who have guarded the Divine Church at the cost of their lives, and offer prayers for blessings!" Zhang Xuan said in a low and solemn tone.

Then she shouted loudly, "Please invite the two Divine Grace Envoys and all the Dharma Kings, Incense Masters, and Dharma Transmitters to the stage."

Zhang Yuanjing looked at the flying Candle Dragon and sighed with melancholy in his heart, but he knew that this was the best outcome.

After Zhang Xuan merged with the Candle Dragon, her thoughts, state of mind, and even temperament had undoubtedly changed a lot. The current Zhang Xuan is far different from the Zhang Xuan of Zhangjiawan Village, and also different from the Zhang Xuan in the Tibetan Soldier Cave before. Her aura and demeanor are no different from those of a leader of a religion.

They flew onto the high platform. Zhang Xuan's beautiful eyes moved, and her gaze swept over several Dharma Transmitters, finally falling on Qu Feipeng, and said in a deep voice: "Please Grand Scripture Master Qu lead the recitation of the fundamental scripture sacrifice text!"

In the fundamental scripture of the Candle God Church, there is a special sacrificial text, which was written by a certain leader to commemorate several meritorious officials. It was used by later generations and finally incorporated into the fundamental scripture, becoming an official inheritance of the church.

Qu Feipeng did not decline, nodded heavily, and then recited in his deep voice: "Candle God, please be informed: The Divine Church is in calamity, and the believers are negligent. Whenever there are heroes, they are not afraid of death, going through fire and water, and relieving difficulties! This is the foundation for the continuation and growth of the Divine Church, and it must be widely publicized and respected, so as to comfort their sincere hearts and earnest intentions..."

Zhang Xuan, the Golden Dharma King and other demon cultivators, as well as the followers below, all bowed their heads and chanted, and a solemn and slightly suppressed atmosphere quickly enveloped the square and surrounding buildings.

After the chanting, there were prayers and blessings. This time, Zhang Yuanjing and Fire Crow Taoist, the two Divine Grace Envoys, deservedly became the protagonists, leading the 200,000 people to chant loudly: "Have mercy on us, the people of the world, who have many worries. Only by entering the Divine Church can we be liberated. Seek within ourselves and strengthen our roots. Break through the shackles and enter the realm of saints from mortals. Candle God bestows blessings, diligence and loyalty..."

A grand sacrifice ended, and the Left Divine Envoy led more than a thousand followers with tattered clothes and tired expressions out of the Divine Beast Hall.

The people on the square were in a state of low spirits. At this time, when they saw these followers who had survived the disaster, they immediately released their respect and remembrance for the heroes on them, and cheered for them loudly.

Before coming out, the Left Divine Envoy did not explain what they were going to do, only said that the leader asked them to take them to the square. The scene at this time undoubtedly completely shocked them, making them fascinated and tearful.

Especially those followers from the Southern Three Altars, those followers who hid behind or pretended to be unable to fly away because they were afraid of death when others resolutely threw themselves into the demonic fire, they were ashamed, regretful, and moved. Each of them was stunned and at a loss.

The Left Divine Envoy turned around and said to them loudly: "The leader said that you are the heroes who guarded the Divine Church, and you will receive cheers and worship from everyone with her! Let's go, go to the high platform and enjoy your glory! This is what you deserve, don't be ashamed, don't be timid, and don't avoid it!"

Under the urging of the Left Divine Envoy and the surrounding followers, these thousand people seemed to walk with great difficulty, stepping lightly and heavily, as if stepping on the ground covered with cotton wool. After finally reaching the front of the high platform, each of them stopped, as if sleepwalking.

Zhang Xuan smiled lightly, stretched out her hand and pointed to the huge black dragon hovering in the sky. The black dragon slowly landed, turned its head, opened its huge mouth, and spit out a cloud of black air at the thousand followers. The black air quickly swept over everyone and finally disappeared.

Immediately, in the astonished eyes of everyone, the aura of these people rose steadily, their faces were ruddy, and their hidden injuries were healed without treatment.

In a few breaths, the turbid air from all sides of the square gathered and formed a huge vortex above the heads of these thousand people, and streams of pure turbid air poured into the crowd.

Then, several people broke through the bottleneck and advanced to the next small realm. The fastest to break through were the Blood Refining Realm demon cultivators, followed by the early Foundation Establishment Realm demon cultivators. After that, mid-stage and late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm demon cultivators broke through one after another. Finally, a Great Perfection Foundation Establishment Realm demon cultivator broke through the barrier and successfully advanced to the Holy Core Realm.

These people were immediately overjoyed, knelt down and shouted: "Leader is mighty, Divine Church is invincible!"

The surrounding followers also knelt down on the ground with a rustling sound, and paid homage to Zhang Xuan in an uneven manner: "Leader is mighty, Divine Church is invincible!"

As for the Holy Core Realm demon cultivators, whether it was the Golden Dharma King and others on the high platform, or the Left Divine Envoy below, they all knelt on one knee and put their right hand on their chest in a meticulous manner, and shouted loudly: "Leader is mighty, Divine Church is invincible!"

At this moment, Zhang Xuan truly became the new leader of the Candle God Church.

The next day, in the main hall on the first floor of the Holy殿, the new leader convened the first Holy 殿 meeting after taking office.

Participants: Leader Zhang Xuan, Divine Grace Envoys Fire Crow Taoist and Zhang Yuanjing, Left Divine Envoy, Golden Dharma King, Red Dharma King, Chief Altar Incense Master Chang Guangming and Deputy Incense Master Quan Youxuan among the Eight Incense Masters, Cold Spring Altar Incense Master Zhao Shijie, Dharma Transmitters and eight Holy Core Realm demon cultivators, namely Chief Altar Liu Yunkai, Zong Xiang, Ning Fang, Li Zheyong, Dharma Transmission Altar Qu Feipeng, Nether Altar Chai Laoqi and Wu Tianyu, Cold Spring Altar Zhen Quanfu.

Attendees: The thousand followers who received commendation and blessings at the ceremony. In addition, there were ten attendants who specially guarded the Holy 殿.

Zhang Xuan presided over the meeting, and she said straightforwardly: "Today's meeting will discuss two things: First, the current situation of the Divine Church and how to deal with it. Second, the replacement and supplementation of Divine Envoys, Dharma Kings, and Incense Masters. Now, let's discuss the first matter, please Left Divine Envoy speak."

The Left Divine Envoy quickly stood up and said with a serious expression: "Bai Tianming colluded with foreign enemies to plot against Lord Candle Dragon, causing the tragic death of tens of thousands of followers. The crime is unforgivable. Please announce immediately that Bai Tianming is a traitor and kill him without mercy! As for the rest of the people in the Southern Three Altars, they were all deceived by Bai Tianming. As long as they are loyal to the leader, they can be forgiven for their past mistakes and still hold their original positions. This is the opinion of the subordinate for the leader's reference."

As soon as his voice fell, the Golden Dharma King pushed his chair and stood up, and said loudly: "Leader, I, Lao Jin, agree with the Left Divine Envoy's opinion. Bai Tianming has the ambition of a wolf, betrayed the Divine Church, and cannot be forgiven. We must send someone to arrest him immediately and execute him in the Chief Altar to warn others. If the action is slow, I, Lao Jin, am afraid that this old boy will run away or defect to the Star Moon Sect or the Thousand Sword Sect, and then disgust us, wouldn't that be uncomfortable!

"I also know something about the Incense Masters of the Southern Three Altars. They are all rough people and have no bad intentions. It is possible for them to follow Bai Tianming and ask for some benefits, but if you say that they colluded with foreign enemies and plotted against the Divine Church's inherited divine beast, even if you give them more courage, they would not dare."

Zhang Xuan remained noncommittal, motioned him to sit down, and then looked at the Red Dharma King Long Lingfang. Long Lingfang's face was pale and she seemed a little distracted.

She stood up slowly and said softly: "Lingfang agrees with the Left Divine Envoy's words and will follow the leader's decision! In addition, Lingfang has a request, begging the leader to allow me to resign from the position of Dharma King and no longer ask about church affairs, but only study the fundamental scripture in the Chief Altar."

Zhang Xuan said lightly: "This matter will be discussed during the second agenda item. You should sit down. The rest of the Incense Masters and Grand Scripture Masters, if you have any opinions, please do not hesitate to share them!"
