Chapter 60: Treading the Path of the Sacred Rank
They say fortune lies in danger. Mo Wuyan, a bold man, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, was about to leap towards the sacred pool below.
However, in the next moment, his pupils suddenly constricted. His body was completely immobilized, and no matter how he struggled, he could not move an inch. Even the spiritual energy within his body could not be mobilized.
At the same time, the delicate figures of Cold Frost Venerable and Sacred Cloud Venerable, who had fallen from the sky, were also strangely suspended in mid-air.
This bizarre scene instantly filled Mo Wuyan's heart with a deep sense of fear. The people of the Sacred Flame Heavenly Palace below also showed a look of shock.
At this moment, it seemed as if everyone suddenly understood something. Then, a voice filled with extreme indifference suddenly echoed across the entire Sacred Flame Heavenly Palace: "What are you, to dare to clean up my house for me!"
As the indifferent voice sounded, a chill instantly enveloped everyone's hearts.
As the indifferent voice faded, the temperature of the entire world suddenly rose to an extremely terrifying level. The space where the Sacred Flame Heavenly Palace was located became completely distorted, creating a terrifying scene.
Boom!
In the next moment, the sacred pool began to boil, and a wave of lava thousands of feet high surged into the sky, carrying an extremely scorching aura. From a distance, the lava wave rising from the sacred pool looked like a red tsunami, a thousand-foot wave standing in the air, with a terrifying momentum!
If it were to fall, the force would undoubtedly be devastating, and the entire Sacred Flame Heavenly Palace would likely be instantly obliterated.
Seeing this, some of the Heavenly Sovereigns outside the sacred pool frowned and were about to take action to block the thousand-foot lava wave. However, just as they were about to act, the thousand-foot lava wave did not fall but remained suspended in mid-air.
Then, to everyone's shock, the thousand-foot lava wave actually split in the middle, looking like a huge red curtain slowly being pulled open. The scene was incredibly awe-inspiring, with a strong visual impact!
The world was deathly silent, and everyone stared in shock at the place where the curtain was being pulled open. A figure in black robes slowly walked out, its momentum like a rainbow, against the backdrop of the red curtain.
However, no one could sense any aura from the figure in black robes, as if it were an ordinary person. But this seemingly ordinary figure made even a dozen Heavenly Sovereigns feel a chill, as they could not sense its aura at all?
If even they could not sense the aura of the black-robed figure, there were only two reasons: one, the black-robed figure was indeed ordinary, which was clearly impossible; the other, the black-robed figure's strength had reached an extremely terrifying level, beyond their ability to perceive.
It was very likely one of the legendary Sacred Rank Heavenly Sovereigns, treading the path of the Sacred Rank. This was the realm that all Heavenly Sovereigns aspired to. Once they reached this realm, they would possess the incomparably powerful Sacred Rank strength, making them the strongest among all Heavenly Sovereigns!
Below the Sacred Rank, all are mere ants!

Just thinking about it made these Heavenly Sovereigns feel an overwhelming shock. Wiping the cold sweat from their foreheads, these Heavenly Sovereigns hurriedly bowed respectfully to the black-robed figure.
"Subordinates, we pay our respects to the Palace Lord!"
A dozen Heavenly Sovereigns stood in a line outside the sacred pool, bowing respectfully to the black-robed figure. The ordinary disciples of the Sacred Flame Heavenly Palace below also immediately came to their senses and knelt down, as if paying homage to an emperor!
"Rise!"
Xiao Yan stood in mid-air, hands behind his back, and after scanning the crowd, he said indifferently. With a casual gesture, the delicate figures of Sacred Cloud Venerable and Cold Frost Venerable appeared beside him.
"Palace Lord!" Seeing Xiao Yan emerge from seclusion, Sacred Cloud Venerable and Cold Frost Venerable were instantly delighted and prepared to report on the affairs of the Sacred Flame Heavenly Palace.
"There's no need to say more; I already know." However, Xiao Yan just waved his hand. Before entering seclusion, he had deliberately left a thread of his soul's power in the Sacred Flame Heavenly Palace, so he was already well aware of what had happened in the past three months.
The internal Heavenly Sovereigns of the Sacred Flame Heavenly Palace each acting on their own had been within his expectations. After all, Heavenly Sovereigns were proud and arrogant, and without sufficient strength, it was a pipe dream to control them.
However, now that Xiao Yan had emerged from seclusion, he would not allow this situation to continue. Today, he would reorganize this newly reborn superpower!
Sacred Cloud Venerable and Cold Frost Venerable's beautiful eyes flickered, and they did not say more. Since the Palace Lord had spoken, he must have already planned something.
Then, Xiao Yan's gaze turned to Mo Wuyan, who was restrained in mid-air, his black eyes emitting a cold light.
"Since you have entered the Sacred Flame Heavenly Palace, you must abide by the palace rules. According to the rules, who can tell me what the punishment is for擅自闯入禁地 (trespassing into the forbidden area)?"
Xiao Yan's gaze swept over the dozen Heavenly Sovereigns in the sky, and his indifferent voice echoed, but anyone could hear the coldness in his voice.
Hearing this, even a fool could tell that Xiao Yan was about to take action to rectify the Sacred Flame Heavenly Palace. The dozen Heavenly Sovereigns secretly rejoiced that they had not trespassed, while Mo Wuyan, restrained in mid-air, could not help but tremble with fear.
"Palace Lord, the punishment for trespassing into the forbidden area is death!" One of the Heavenly Sovereigns glanced at Mo Wuyan and then respectfully answered.
"Palace Lord, spare my life! I know I was wrong!" Mo Wuyan was drenched in cold sweat and immediately begged for mercy. He was now filled with deep regret, but there was no medicine for regret in this world!
"The palace rules are as solid as a mountain. Those who violate them will be put to death!"

Xiao Yan did not even look at Mo Wuyan. Then, he suddenly reached out his hand, and Mo Wuyan's body was instantly crushed, a cloud of blood mist raining down from the sky.
Seeing this, everyone could not help but swallow hard, their eyes filled with deep fear. Killing a Heavenly Sovereign of the Immortal Rank was as easy as killing an ant. How terrifying and powerful was the Palace Lord's strength!
With the sound of the explosion, the atmosphere became extremely oppressive. Everyone was silent, and even the Heavenly Sovereigns did not dare to look up at the black-robed figure.
"The Sacred Flame Heavenly Palace is a whole, and everything operates according to the palace rules. I will not hold past actions against anyone, but if anyone dares to violate the rules in the future, they will be punished without mercy!"
After a moment of silence, Xiao Yan's voice echoed again, still as cold as before, making everyone break out in a cold sweat.
Especially the super-strong Heavenly Sovereigns who had been acting on their own and controlling various resources of the Sacred Flame Heavenly Palace. They were now pale with fear, their usual arrogance completely gone.
Sacred Cloud Venerable and Cold Frost Venerable, seeing these usually arrogant Heavenly Sovereigns now cowering like mice, could not help but secretly smile. They admired Xiao Yan's method of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys.
