Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 920: Demonic Flame Sect Master, Lotus Demon Dragon

"Jiuying, how long until this ceremony begins?"

Watching the Divine Monarch Realm cultivators stagger clumsily to their feet from the ground, looking utterly foolish and absurd, Ye Yun couldn't help but shake his head softly.

"It should be soon..."

A smile curved Emperor Jiuying's lips as she responded.

The moment those words landed.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

From afar, a Three Fire God Cult disciple struck the enormous bell atop the ancient clock tower.

Its melodious tones refreshed the spirits of all present.

"Our Three Fire God Cult’s Demonic Flame Sect Master’s ceremony of ascending to Divine King is now beginning, please welcome the Sect Hierarch!"

Once the bell's echoes faded, a woman's crisp voice resounded across the entire plaza.

"The ceremony is about to begin!"

"Ha, finally we can see the most mysterious Demonic Flame Sect Master of the Three Fire God Cult!"

"I’m so excited, it’s my lifetime honor to participate in the Demonic Flame Sect Master’s ascension to Divine King Ceremony!"

"..."

Excitement buzzed among the countless cultivators gathered in the plaza.

"What’s so great about this Pure Lotus Demon Dragon that only entered the God King realm?"

Lurking in one corner of the plaza, the Sun God King kept a blank face, a mocking smirk tugging at his mouth.

In his past life, he had reached the God King Stature Third Layer.

That level utterly eclipsed the so-called Demonic Flame Sect Master's.

Hence, the Sun God King's innate arrogance persisted deep within.

Within the pavilion.

"Is this Demonic Flame Sect Master always mysterious?"

Ye Yun's face shifted faintly as he overheard the chatter below, prompting his question.

His knowledge of the Three Fire God Cult was limited, making this the perfect moment to probe Emperor Jiuying about the man's origins before the Demonic Flame Sect Master showed up.

"The Demonic Flame Sect Master has always been extremely mysterious, usually not managing affairs within the sect, and it’s unclear what he is busy with day in and day out..."

Emperor Jiuying explained unhurriedly.

While speaking, a fleeting, meaningful grin flickered across her gaze.

Ye Yun's eyes blinked, sensing something off.

From Nine Heavens Divine King's subtle smile, he detected a deep bond between Emperor Jiuying and the Demonic Flame Sect Master.

Hmm...

Do they have personal ties?

Whoosh!

Abruptly, a pristine milky white flame burst into existence mid-air, radiating a fearsome presence amid its spotless glow.

Instantly.

Cultivators with weaker bases across the plaza paled dramatically.

"Pure Lotus Demon Fire!"

"It’s the Demonic Flame Sect Master’s unique innate divine ability!"

"We’re truly fortunate to witness the Pure Lotus Demon Fire that purifies any flame!"

Throughout the plaza.

Cultivators burst into another wave of fervent chatter.

The mysterious Pure Lotus Demon Fire kept swelling, stretching to a hundred yards wide, its majesty growing ever more intense.

Even the God King powerhouses turned grave at the sight of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire.

Tut-tut...

Flickering softly, the milky white blaze shaped itself into a holy white lotus.

In the blink of an eye, a young man in white robes, around twenty years old, materialized atop the massive lotus.

"Greetings to the Demonic Flame Sect Master!"

Three Fire God Cult disciples dropped to their knees in worship, their cheers resounding passionately.

Composed and serene, the white-robed youth gestured downward with both hands, silencing the clamor around him at once.

"Congratulations, Sect Hierarch!"

God Kings in the pavilions rose together, hands clasped in salute, offering warm congratulations.

Emperor Jiuying followed suit.

Yet Ye Yun stayed firmly in his seat.

Right then, his pupils contracted faintly as he fixed a piercing gaze on the Demonic Flame Sect Master.

From the vast Pure Lotus Demon Fire displayed moments ago, Ye Yun instantly recognized this Demonic Flame Sect Master as a Pure Lotus Demon Dragon from the Dragon Clan.

"How can there still be a Pure Lotus Demon Dragon in this Divine Land?"

Frowning lightly, Ye Yun whispered to himself.

Among Dragon Clan Divine Dragons, the Pure Lotus Demon Dragon stood out as the strangest variety.

Bearing Pure Lotus Demon Fire capable of cleansing everything, they seemed mighty, yet the Pure Lotus Demon Dragon clan shunned combat entirely.

Unaffiliated with the Ten Super Divine Dragons' bloodlines, the Pure Lotus Demon Dragon answered solely to the Ancestor Dragon.

Their main duty lay in battlefield cleanup.

During ancient wars, the Dragon Clan clashed endlessly with spirits, leaving hordes of mighty spiritual cultivators slain across the Dragon Hidden Continent.

These fallen powerhouses, fueled by undying grudges post-death, readily morphed into undead horrors and monstrous threats to the Dragon Hidden Continent.

Pure Lotus Demon Dragons wielded their Pure Lotus Demon Fire to incinerate these spirit corpses completely.

Thus.

With the spirits fully eradicated, no peril lingered for the Dragon Hidden Continent.

In those eras, the Pure Lotus Demon Dragon clan remained a tiny group, overburdened by endless purification duties.

They stayed perpetually swamped.

The Ancestor Dragon decreed back then that no other dragons could observe Pure Lotus Demon Dragons at work cleansing remains.

Consequently, even fellow dragons viewed the Ancestor Dragon's direct subordinates, the Pure Lotus Demon Dragon clan, as profoundly enigmatic.

"Long Yunzi, why can’t there be a Pure Lotus Demon Dragon in the Divine Land?"

Emperor Jiuying glanced over with a sly, teasing grin.

"Just saying, it’s just that the Pure Lotus Demon Dragon is extremely mysterious, and I didn’t expect it to be the Demonic Flame Sect Master of the Three Fire God Cult..."

Smiling, Ye Yun gave a casual shrug.

"Are you not standing up?"

Emperor Jiuying eyed Ye Yun with curiosity, surprise lighting her gaze.

This Sword Cultivator, isn’t he a bit too bold?

Facing a God King realm powerhouse like the Demonic Flame Sect Master, he sits unmoving.

It’s truly astounding.

"No need, I am not on the same level as this Demonic Flame Sect Master..."

With a grin, Ye Yun shook his head.

As the Ancestor Dragon himself, why would he bow to some trivial Pure Lotus Demon Dragon?

Should he disclose his true self, that Pure Lotus Demon Dragon would kneel in submission.

Still.

For now, Ye Yun held no desire to do so.

He intended to watch and wait.

"Alright then, you really are a stubborn fellow."

Emperor Jiuying let out a helpless laugh.

She assumed at that instant the Sword Cultivator's immense pride kept him from such deference.

Though Long Yunzi stayed seated, Emperor Jiuying figured it posed no issue.

Surely the Demonic Flame Sect Master wouldn't rage during his ceremony over some insignificant Divine Honorable Realm figure.

"Thank you, friends, for coming all the way here to attend my ascension to the Divine King celebration..."

Smiling gently, the Demonic Flame Sect Master began to speak.

There he poised gracefully upon the white lotus, robes billowing like an immortal from legend.

His address as Demonic Flame Sect Master proved remarkably concise.

Upon conclusion.

Lovely female cultivators of the Three Fire God Cult soared elegantly through the sky, bearing fine wines and spirit fruits to distribute among the pavilions.

Cultivators at Divine Honorable and Divine Monarch Realms in the plaza got only a lone cup each.

Emperor Jiuying rose abruptly, lifting her cup skyward. Her stunning eyes fixed on the white lotus youth, she smiled and declared, "Congratulations, Brother Dragon Chan, on entering the Divine King realm!"

"Thank you for your blessing, Sister Jiuying!"

Grinning back, the Demonic Flame Sect Master lifted his cup, a strange gleam in his eyes.

Across the heavens, the pair of mighty Divine King experts toasted remotely, draining their cups in unison.

"These two, their relationship is not just ordinary..."

Observing from the sidelines with icy detachment, Ye Yun's lips curled into a chilly smirk.
