Bright Fortress!

One of the Four Sects and Eight Demonic Gates of Shuangbao!

Located on Mount Guangming!

This mountain is covered with stones of light, which emit a strong glow day and night.

Therefore, Brighthold is also known as the Land Without Night.

Unlike other factions, Bright Fortress rarely recruits disciples from outside the family; their disciples are part of a family tradition.

The people recruited were all for the purpose of marriage and increasing the bloodline.

Therefore, the disciples in Bright Fort are all family members.

In particular, the lineage of Bright Fortress differs from that of other sects.

They don't value talent as much, but rather bloodline.

As for cultivation, they have their own system of inheritance.

Once you enter the family's ancestral hall, you can obtain the power of the ancestors of Bright Fortress and gain immense strength with just a little cultivation.

This is true of almost all the high-ranking officials within Bright Fortress.

In the hall!

The Lord of Bright Fortress sat proudly, a holy light emanating from his head.

On his left and right were four elders on each side.

In the center of the crowd stood five teenagers.

One of them, radiating a pure white light, stood in front.

The four people behind him stood side by side.

"Holy Son, the Tide Ruins have opened. This time, we must obtain the Ultimate Water!"

"The Lord of Bright Fortress said calmly."

The Holy Son of Light said calmly, "Don't worry, Lord. With my personal involvement, the Ultimate Water is already in my grasp!"

At this moment, Elder Guangming spoke.

"We must not be careless. In addition to us, the Ziwei Sect and Tianyi Sect from the four major sects, as well as the Qigui Sect and Zhannu Sect from the eight demonic sects, will also send people this time!"

"Besides competing for the ultimate water, it's also a great opportunity to showcase the strength of the younger generation of various sects!"

"The Free and Unfettered Immortal Palace will also be sending experts this time. If they take a liking to us, we'll have a chance to enter the Free and Unfettered Immortal Palace for further study! This is an excellent opportunity!"

The Holy Son of Light said confidently, "Elder, I want this spot, and no one can take it away from me!"

Lord of Bright Fortress smiled slightly.

He naturally had absolute faith in the Holy Son of Light.

"Very good. You four must protect the Holy Son well, lest some villains launch a sneak attack!"

The four boys in white knelt down on one knee at the same time.

"Yes, sir!"

"Very well, First Elder, Fifth Elder, I'll trouble you to go this time!"

Lord of Bright Fortress nodded.

The most dangerous part of exploring ruins is not finding treasure, but what happens after you come out.

Many times, they are ambushed and lose their lives when they come out.

However, both the Grand Elder and the Fifth Elder are powerful Emperors, so with them in charge, there should be no problem.

"Okay, let's go!"

The Grand Elder of Light pointed, and a Holy Ship of Light appeared.

The group then boarded the sacred ship and sailed away.

...

Besides Bright Fortress, cloud boats from the Heavenly Will Sect, Strange Ghost Sect, and Purple Star Sect have also appeared.

Many martial artists also went there after hearing the sound.

Although they didn't have the key, they couldn't resist their greed and wondered if they could get a chance to drink some soup.

The crowd headed towards the Tide Ruins.

...

Nestled in the black mountains.

The War Slave Sect was located there.

Although it ranks among the top four sects and eight demonic sects in the Twin Fortresses, the decline of the War Slave Sect is an undeniable fact.

It's not that they lack resources or that they don't have strong leaders.

Rather, it's because they are too picky in selecting disciples.

They absolutely will not accept anyone who is not resilient enough.

Moreover, they do not accept scions of aristocratic families; they only accept those from humble backgrounds.

It's not that they're too picky; there's another reason.

Inside the main hall.

The War Slave Sect Master sat upright in the sect master's seat, his face somewhat pale, coughing occasionally, with faint traces of blood appearing at the corners of his mouth.

"metropolitan!"

A figure flashed by, and two elders walked over with a young female disciple.

The young female disciple had exquisite features and was exceptionally beautiful.

"Father... Sect Master!"

Her name is Murong Ting, the daughter of Murong Tianzheng, the leader of the War Slave Sect, and also the most talented person in the War Slave Sect.

A hint of tenderness appeared in Murong Tianzheng's eyes.

"Ting'er, I'm sorry, you're in seclusion trying to break through to the Saint Realm, I have to interrupt you! It's truly unavoidable!"

When a martial artist is in seclusion to cultivate and break through to a breakthrough, the worst thing to do is to interrupt them.

Once interrupted, at best one's cultivation will stagnate and make no further progress; at worst, one's talent will be damaged, and one will never be able to cultivate again.

Murong Ting shook her head: "It's alright, the sect leader must have something important to tell me!"

"Good boy!" Murong Tianzheng coughed lightly.

"Our War Slave Sect has received great kindness from the Tang family, but we can only watch helplessly as they are imprisoned in the Carefree Immortal Palace, unable to rescue them!"

"Since I was injured by the powerful figures of the Free and Unfettered Immortal Palace, this generation has been incapable of saving anyone. Therefore, Ting'er, you must obtain the Ultimate Water, improve your cultivation, and then go into seclusion for another twenty years. Perhaps you can break through to the Great Emperor realm and find hope of saving others!"

"But that's a bit unfair to you. With your talent, you could have reached an even higher level!"

Murong Ting shook her head: "Father, all I know is that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of gratitude. The Tang family has given my Zhannu Sect a second chance at life and saved our lives, so we should naturally repay them in kind!"

"Oh, good child! Elders, I'm entrusting this to you!" Murong Tianzheng nodded to the two elders.

These two elders are the only remaining elders of the War Slave Sect.

They are respectively called Tengen and Tera.

His cultivation level reached the half-step Great Emperor level.

The elders of other sects are all Great Emperors, while they are only half-step Great Emperors, which further reveals the decline of the War Slave Sect.
