Chapter 7: Flaming Buddha Sect

Deep within the forest lay a hidden village, its inhabitants the remnants of the once-flourishing Flaming Buddha Sect. Alas, the sect met its tragic end with the implementation of the Sect Execution Decree by the Leon Kingdom.

In their struggle to survive, the survivors banded together and established a small village nestled deep within the woods. It served as their sanctuary, a place where they could rebuild their lives amidst the shadows.

Amidst the tranquility of the village, the air filled with the spirited cries of the young disciples, aged between 10 and 15, engaged in martial arts practice. Led by a seasoned middle-aged instructor, they diligently trained, throwing punches and strikes with focused determination. Each blow resonated with their unwavering spirit. After completing a hundred repetitions, they would take a moment to sit and cultivate their inner strength.

However, in a fateful instant, a sudden disturbance shattered the peaceful atmosphere. A blinding surge of crimson light erupted, engulfing the entire village in its radiant glow. The villagers shielded their eyes, momentarily blinded by the unexpected spectacle that unfolded before them.

"You, go and inform the elders and the village chief," commanded a resolute voice. The urgent call to action stirred the villagers into motion, and the message quickly spread throughout the village. Panic and concern filled the air as everyone realized the need to evacuate and seek safety.

Within moments, a group of warriors assembled, Ten individuals stood ready to defend their home and the lives of their fellow villagers. Among them, three possessed formidable strength, having reached the Foundation Establishment mid-stage realm, while the others were skilled practitioners at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

They formed a united front, prepared to face any threat that might jeopardize the safety of their community. Their commitment to protect their people fueled their resolve as they awaited further instructions, ready to carry out their duty with unwavering courage.

"My friends! We cannot allow any harm to befall our small residence," declared the instructor with determination in his voice. He was a respected figure in the village, on the verge of achieving the esteemed rank of martial master. While this accomplishment might have seemed inconsequential in the past, with the downfall of their sect, he had become a crucial figure for their survival.

Addressing a fellow warrior named Lu Shen, he continued, "Prepare for our escape! Gather all the essential supplies needed for the village to continue on. And if something untoward happens, I will activate the reporting talisman." His words resonated with urgency and a deep sense of responsibility.

An hour later, three figures moved swiftly through the forest, their steps quiet and calculated. An unsettling silence hung in the air as they ran at full speed for ten minutes, yet encountered no signs of the usual beasts that roamed the area.

After some time, their eyes caught sight of a significant discovery ahead.

In front of them stood a portal, a swirling vortex within the void. Its appearance was both captivating and daunting, reminiscent of a starry sky. The weakest among them, seemingly enchanted by its beauty, extended his arm towards the portal. However, Instructor San Mu, the strongest member of the group, swiftly grabbed his wrist, halting his impulsive action.

"Caution is necessary," Instructor San Mu cautioned, his grip firm. "There may be treasures inside. The sheer magnitude of energy emanating from this portal suggests the presence of something extremely dangerous." He pondered for a moment, rubbing his chin. The potential for a high-ranking treasure within presented an opportunity for their sect to rise again, and he couldn't let it slip through his fingers.

"As the strongest, I shall venture inside first," San Mu declared, determination evident in his voice. He handed a talisman to the others and instructed, "Hold onto this talisman. If I do not return within two hours, use it to return to safety." The group nodded in agreement, understanding the gravity of the situation.

With his giant sword in hand, San Mu stepped forward and entered the portal, disappearing into its depths.

As San Mu stepped through the portal, the world around him transformed. The vibrant forest he had known disappeared, replaced by an unfamiliar landscape. Towering trees, enormous bushes, and exotic flowers surrounded him, creating a surreal and breathtaking atmosphere.

Confusion washed over San Mu as he took in his new surroundings. "I'm still in a forest, but everything seems... different," he mused, his gaze scanning the colossal flora.

Suddenly, a rustling sound disrupted the silence, capturing San Mu's attention. He swiftly concealed himself behind a sturdy tree, peering out to investigate the source. His eyes widened as a tribe of goblins emerged, led by a G-rank goblin. Just as he was about to relax, a ferocious F-rank wolf pounced on the goblin, its fangs effortlessly tearing through the creature's neck.

San Mu's instincts kicked in, and he seized the opportunity. In a blur of movement, he closed in on the wolf, his presence radiating power and determination. With a forceful strike, he shattered the wolf's bones, delivering a decisive blow. The beast's lifeless body fell to the ground.

Breathing heavily, San Mu surveyed the aftermath of the battle. He noticed the goblin's remains and intended to salvage what he could, recognizing the value of its components. However, amidst the blood-soaked scene, something caught his eye—a small pill, tainted with crimson stains.

Intrigued, San Mu instinctively consumed the mysterious pill without hesitation. As the pill dissolved in his mouth, a surge of energy coursed through his veins. He felt his strength amplifying, his senses sharpening, and an overwhelming power resonating within him.

Overwhelmed by the potent effects, San Mu instinctively settled into a meditative stance, basking in the newfound power and channeling it to solidify his breakthrough. As time passed, his aura intensified, and a seismic wave of energy emanated from his being. With a sudden burst, he ascended to the esteemed rank of a Martial Master.

San Mu's eyes snapped open, filled with a mix of exhilaration and determination.

"This..." San Mu looked around. If what he was currently guessing turned out to be the truth then the flaming Budha sect would once again rise and not only that but will become stronger than it was previously.
