CHAPTER 631: RISE OF A SECT.

Thunder Drake pointed out what he meant when he said they had nothing to lose by saying, "The worst that can happen is that we lose the war, in which case, the Red and Blue Fire sect manages to secure a foothold in our Five Veins Region. We will only get to absorb what’s left of the Purple Flower sect, so we won’t lose out even if we lose the war."

"On the other hand, if we win the war, we will successfully push the Red and Fire sect away and even carve them up. If we win, we might be able to get their cultivation technique and have another means, like our armament, to combine the power of life force and internal energy."

"So no matter how this war works out, we will gain something. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to get the best outcome. And that best outcome is to send the Red and Blue Fire sect running. Then destroying them and devouring them for good."

"In order to facilitate this favorable outcome, you will be given more information and the result of an in-depth analysis of the capabilities, spells, and cultivation techniques of the Red and Blue Fire sect. We will also plan out some tactics that will be executed for this war."

His voice became stern as he said, "It goes without saying that what we will speak about in this meeting and the information we will share is confidential information that is not to be shared with anyone else, not in this room. In fact, once you leave this council hall, you are not to speak of what you learned or what we decided at all."

"Anyone who breaks this rule will be deemed a traitor. If that happens, your body and soul will be incinerated slowly and painfully. I assure you that it is not going to be a pleasant experience. So be warned now."

He stopped speaking and let his warning settle down for a while. As he did this, he let his eyes roam over everyone present in the hall.

After intimidating them, he said, "No one is forcing you to perform in the war. So if you decide to participate, the least that I expect from you is to not leak our plans to the enemy."

"Now let us begin. We will start with the memory crystal containing the information about the Red and Blue Fire sect. This memory crystal also contains the analysis of the general capabilities of their spells and cultivation techniques."

"Once you’re done reading the memory crystal, we will start working on the tactics that we have planned. Just do your job and everything will be fine."

Everyone remained quiet as the array spirit distributed memory crystals to everyone. From it, Arthur was able to gain a better understanding of the Red and Blue Fire sect.

The memory crystal contained the history of the Red and Fire sect and information about how they rose to the peak of their power. It was stated that the Red and Blue Fire sect used to be an ordinary rank 3 family, like the Dyson family and the other cultivation families under the control of the five sects, before they became the mighty rank 7 sects at their peak.

Their rise is said to be epic and swift, and it all relied on one single divine artifact called the Red and Blue Fire pill. This Red and Blue Fire sect was a rank 7 cauldron artifact with a special flame that could be used to refine pills and attack enemies.

The special flame increased the success rate and efficacy of the pills it refined. It was also very destructive when used to attack people, so the special flame had high utility and high firepower.

But what made the Red and Blue Fire pill allow a rank 3 cultivation to become a rank 7 sect was the cultivation technique within it. This cultivation technique can allow cultivators to advance to rank 7. But it also contained a refinement technique for creating a special type of life flame in the life seed that can be used to refine pills and attack enemies.

The life flame that can be cultivated with this rank 7 technique is very similar to the properties of the Red and Blue Fire pill. It also increases the chances of success and efficacy of refined pills and combines the power of life force and internal energy to create a powerful flame attack that is double the normal power of its wielder.

This life flame instantly made the rank 3 cultivation family soar to the sky. Over generations, they rose higher and higher. They didn’t stop rising until they reached the peak of rank 7.

At their peak, they had more than one divine transformation patriarch. They were so strong that they managed to invade entire worlds and consume them whole.

Unfortunately, their rise stopped there. They didn’t manage to rise to rank 8. Not only that, but they also began to decline after their strongest patriarch, who was in charge of the Red and Fire pill, died.

Normally, his death shouldn’t have mattered. People die all the time and are replaced by the younger generation. But the Red and Blue Fire sect couldn’t replace what was lost this time around because the Red and Fire pill was with the patriarch when he died.

The Red and Fire pill was lost, so they lost the special flame that it contained. Without that special flame, they couldn’t produce rank 7 pills anymore.

Without rank 7 pills, they stopped being able to produce rank 7 divine transformation cultivators. They could only manage to maintain their status as a rank 6 sect. But even this became difficult to achieve because they were besieged by enemies on all sides.

The Red and Blue Fire sect was a wealthy sect in its heyday. Not only did they earn a lot of wealth from refining and selling pills, but they also earned more by invading and looting entire worlds.
