"This relic was discovered by two real people, I won't tell anyone." Shi Liuli said calmly, "However, every time you start the trial of this statue, it seems that you need to light a stick of incense from the incense burner."

"There are still two sticks of incense in the censer, which means it can be opened twice. After that, we have to find more incense before we can continue using it."

The meaning of this is very clear: it is recommended to use up the incense here until only one is left, and then hand it over to the sect. After all, the sect recommends finding more incense based on this stick of incense, and we can also exchange it for rewards from the sect, so that the benefits are maximized.

Qiu Changtian nodded slightly, and Xu Yinglian was about to go over to light the incense, but found that it couldn't be lit.

"According to the sect's rules, any elite disciple who has made great contributions and is allowed by the headmaster to enter the Cardinal Hall can only participate in the trial once every three hundred years." The statue suddenly spoke, "Your behavior of ignoring the sect's rules will be recorded for the sect elders to review."

Qiu Changtian: ...

Xu Yinglian: ...

Shi Liuli: ...

They finally realized that they had overlooked one thing, which is that after lighting the incense, all the monks in the temple would be able to take part in the trial and obtain scriptures and magic weapons.

In other words, if hundreds of monks were crammed into the hall, then when a stick of incense was lit, the Donghua Sect would lose hundreds of magic weapons and scriptures - this is absolutely unacceptable for the sect.

As a sect of practice, it is necessary not only to distribute monastic resources to monks on a regular basis to help them gain sufficient strength growth, but also to control the frequency and intensity of the distribution. Otherwise, if too much is distributed, not only will the sect’s internal inventory be empty, but if the monk who received the things dies or betrays the sect, the sect’s losses will double.

Nowadays, in terms of distributing resources, the Six Paths of the Demonic Cult adopts an involution model, giving resources to whoever has greater strength; the Three Pure Ones of the Orthodox Cult adopts a review model, giving resources to whoever has greater potential.

But no matter whether it is the orthodox religion or the evil religion, they have actually set up many thresholds and will not let their disciples frequently participate in the secret trials to obtain treasures.

According to what the statue said, the Donghua Sect naturally set up similar thresholds: one is that one cannot enter the Cardinal Hall without making great contributions; two is that one can only obtain a treasure once each time one lights a stick of incense; three is that each person can enter only once every three hundred years.

Therefore, the frequency and quantity of resources distributed by the Cardinal Palace are well controlled.

For Qiu Changtian and the other two, this undoubtedly blocked their way to repeatedly gaining benefits. They could only use the existence of this site to seek benefits from the sect.

"Speaking of this." Qiu Changtian understood Shi Liuli's meaning, and said thoughtfully, "If we from Kunlun want to send people here, we must pass through the East China Sea (after all, we can't avoid Penglai), so Kunlun and Penglai will have to negotiate sooner or later."

"Why don't we and Liuli go back to Kunlun and Penglai to contact the headmaster, and then we can take the lead and arrange this matter... What do you think?"

Xu Yinglian pondered and thought that compared to "discovering the ruins of an ancient sect", it must be "discovering an ancient sect together with the monks from Penglai, and because it is located in Penglai and cannot be avoided, they want to arrange a meeting between the two factions" which is more comprehensive and better reflects the overall situation.

"No problem." She nodded in secondment.

"That's great." Shi Liuli also agreed, "Then I'll go back and test the Master's attitude."

Although it was just a test of the waters, everyone knew that Master Xuan Du would most likely agree to it directly.

As the leader of the Orthodox Church, Kunlun has always been Penglai's largest client and protector. It is impossible for Penglai to become enemies with Kunlun over such a matter.

So everyone said goodbye to each other and flew back to their sect on their swords.

After returning to Kunlun and arriving at Yuxu Palace, Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian told Master Ziwei everything.

The head of Ziwei Sect had a calm expression. After listening, he nodded calmly, waved his whisk, and said:

"I already know about this matter. You can go back. The sect will take care of it."

Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian looked at each other and could only leave.

After leaving Yuxu Palace, Xu Yinglian sighed and said:

"As expected of you, Master. You can remain calm even after hearing about such a big event."

Qiu Changtian casually agreed, thinking to himself: How is that possible? It was obvious that the master had never heard of the name "Donghua Sect", so there was no expression.

Maybe after we left, he would immediately run to look for Immortal Chisong!

…

In Kunlun Tianmen Hall, Immortal Chisong was still sitting on the top of Tianmen Peak, surrounding a chessboard, holding the black piece in his left hand and the white piece in his right hand, and enjoying the game alone.

The head of Ziwei Sect stepped onto Tianmen Peak and bowed:

"Immortal."

"Wait a moment." Chisong Immortal raised his hand, signaling him not to speak, "I just thought of a brilliant move..."

He made a few quick moves, then fell into deep thought.

"Immortal!" Seeing that he didn't respond, the head of Ziwei Sect raised his voice and asked, "Have you ever heard of the 'Donghua Sect'?"

The Red Matsu Immortal was stunned for a moment and said:

"Where did you hear that name?"

"Chang Geng and Qiong Ying found the remains of the Donghua Sect in the East China Sea." replied Master Ziwei.

The Red Matsu Immortal was silent for a moment, then threw the chess piece in his hand into the chess basket:

"Follow me to Penglai Yuqing Temple."

Going to Penglai means that Immortal Chisong will personally take him to explore the ruins of the Donghua Sect.

Master Ziwei quickly followed and asked:

"What kind of sect is the Donghua Sect?"

The Red Matsu Immortal kept walking and said:

"I don't know much about this matter. I only heard my master mention it once during my time in the Chan Sect, but he didn't go into detail."

So Master Ziwei also shut up tactfully.

He noticed that Chisong Immortal said "Grandmaster" instead of "Master", which means that it was that great man who mentioned Donghua Sect...

"Humph." Immortal Chisong sneered, "With the power of a mere sect, trying to resist the intersection of the celestial spheres is like trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm."

Sect Leader Ziwei did not say anything. He knew that the four words "the intersection of the celestial spheres" involved the origin of the world, which was not something that could be explored by the Nascent Soul stage.

The two of them hurriedly flew to Penglai in the East China Sea on their swords, only to see that the Immortal Wanxiang and the Master Xuandu had already been waiting there and came to greet them.

"Chisong." Wanxiang Immortal frowned and said, "How did the youngsters suddenly find the Donghua Sect?"

"Some time ago, Chang Geng told me that he wanted to look for a school of thunder magic," explained the head of Ziwei Sect, "but I didn't expect to find the Donghua Sect."

"What did they get from the Donghua Sect?" Xuandu Sect Master reminded him, "Don't bring disaster upon yourself!"

The Ziwei Sect Master was startled, and when he saw the Chisong Immortal nodded, he quickly said:

"I'll send a letter via flying sword right now to ask."

After saying that, he threw a small sword from his sleeve and flew directly to the west.
