Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 6841 Flame God Sect

“Welcome back to the sect, Divine Daughter!”

The gate opened to reveal hundreds of thousands of young disciples already waiting. They stood in lines on both sides of the path, their voices booming together and shaking the ground.

To Long Chen’s surprise, all these disciples had exceptionally condensed and solid auras. It was clear they were experienced and elite warriors.

It was impressive that the Flame God Sect could cultivate true experts even in a peaceful world.

Chi Yutong was like an empress returning to her palace. Her usual smile was gone, replaced with the solemnity and dignity of a superior.

The disciples bowed deeply, not daring to look at her, though they could sense Long Chen following behind her.

Chi Yutong’s status in the Flame God Sect was on full display. Although many were curious, no one dared to show it.

Chi Yutong waved her hand, and the devil corpses behind the chariot landed in front of everyone.

She commanded, “Cut off their heads and extract their blood for the devil lanterns! We will begin the ceremony immediately!”

“As you command!”

Everyone immediately got to work, carrying the devil corpses away. Their careful, measured movements made it clear the ceremony had already begun.

Chi Yutong turned back to Long Chen and asked, “Brother Long, we are offering sacrifices to our ancestors. Do you wish to participate?”

She knew Long Chen was someone extraordinary. People like him often had strong principles, so she wouldn’t force him to join if he didn’t want to.

“The Flame God Sect’s ancestors spilled their blood fighting for the nine heavens and ten lands. All the ten thousand races owe them a debt,” Long Chen replied. “It would be my honor to offer my respects to the heroes of the primal chaos era!”

Chi Yutong smiled, though she felt a bit nervous inside. The appearance of the evil statue made her worry that her own sect’s shrine would have a similar problem.

If Long Chen found a problem, the Flame God Sect would be embarrassed. Still, it was more important to know the truth. She just hoped Long Chen would be a little more discreet this time.

Thankfully, Long Chen’s response was quite comforting, so Chi Yutong led the way for everyone.

Flame runes gathered under Chi Yutong’s feet, creating a path as she walked. The world’s flame energy started to ignite around her.

The flame runes seemed to welcome her home, growing more active with each step. A ripple of flame spread out every time her foot touched the ground.

To everyone’s surprise, Long Chen also caused ripples with every step as he walked right behind her.

The only difference was that Chi Yutong’s ripples were scarlet, while Long Chen’s were multicolored.

“Long Chen, you’re a flame cultivator?” Chi Yuluo couldn’t help but whisper curiously.

“Yuluo!”

Chi Yutong quickly scolded her little sister through a spiritual message. The ceremony had already started, and it was rude to speak now.

Chi Yutong was just as shocked, but she still restrained her curiosity. In any case, asking about other people’s secrets was a serious taboo in the cultivation world.

After being chided, Chi Yuluo hastily shut her mouth and obediently followed from behind.

“Huo Linger, what are you doing?” asked Long Chen.

Huo Linger cried out, “Big Brother Long Chen, it’s not me! The flame energy here is very dense. It automatically nourishes all flames. You are an alchemist and also have flame energy in your meridians. It’s an automatic reaction.”

The flame laws here can automatically draw out my flame energy. So, not even the tiniest flame fluctuation can escape their senses?

Long Chen was surprised. After all, his flame energy came from Huo Linger, and his own was almost nothing in comparison.

All disciples of the Flame God Sect were flame cultivators. Despite her strength, Chi Yutong couldn't sense Long Chen’s flame energy. However, the flame laws here still detected it. This piqued Long Chen’s curiosity even further about the Flame God Sect.

On the other hand, Chi Yutong and Chi Yuluo felt rather embarrassed. Even though they were fellow flame cultivators, they hadn’t been able to sense flame fluctuations from Long Chen.

After some time, they reached a large plaza already filled with the Flame God Sect's experts. In the distance, countless stone mountains surrounded the plaza, also covered with figures. Only those of a certain status could participate in the ceremony from the plaza.

Those who were not qualified could only watch from a distance.

Countless curious gazes fell on Long Chen when he walked in, but no one dared to say anything about it.

At this moment, those who carried the devil corpses placed the devil heads on a platform.

Hundreds of lamps flickered on both sides of the platform, fueled by devil blood. The flames produced from the devil blood emitted a peculiar, invigorating fragrance.

Such holy energy can be refined from foul devil blood? I wonder if this energy is an innate trait of theirs or something they have taken from the nine heavens and ten lands...?

Long Chen felt like the latter possibility was more likely. As the devil blood burned, what had been seized returned to its original master. It could be considered a comforting present for their ancestors.

Chi Yutong held three incense sticks.

Long Chen didn’t know what part of the devil corpses these incense sticks were made from, but when they were lit, furious roars could be heard coming from them.

A large shrine slowly rose at the center of the plaza, filled with hundreds of divine statues.

All the Flame God Sect’s experts tensed as the shrine rose. Their eyes showed deep reverence, and a complete silence filled the plaza.

“Place the incense!”

An ancient voice broke the silence.

Chi Yutong slowly bowed with the three incense sticks, and everyone else followed her lead, including Long Chen.

Chi Yutong relaxed when she saw Long Chen bow. She knew that if there had been something evil in their shrine, he wouldn’t have bowed.

The Flame God Sect’s ceremony was simple. There was no special chanting or long rituals—just the placement of the incense sticks to finish it.

After the ceremony ended, the experts quietly left in an orderly way. There was still no noise or chaos.

In the end, only a dozen elders stayed behind. One of them raised an eyebrow at Chi Yutong.

Chi Yutong introduced, “This is my friend Long Chen. He is not an outsider. You can say whatever it is that you have to say.”

“Divine Daughter, you must go see the sect master. The sect master... he might not make it...”

“What?!” Chi Yutong turned pale.
