Chapter 202: New Home
The ship landed at the entrance of the Immortal Sword Sect, right at the mountain's base. Thick fog shrouded the area.
"A Seven-Grade Formation..." Chen Tian murmured, his eyes wide with astonishment as he took in the sight before him.
The fog seemed to be an integral part of the sect's defense, concealing the entrance of the sect.
If he was an intruder, then even a Dao Emperor Cultivator would have a hard time breaking through the formation and discovering the true location of the Immortal Sword Sect.
A stair that led to the top of the mountain could be seen through the mist, surrounded by ancient trees and mysterious stone statues.
"Every discipline can return to their respective residences; as for the new recruit, you will need to follow the instructions given by the elders," said the one of the sect elders, his voice echoing through the place.
The disciples dispersed and returned to their designated areas.
As for the new recruit, they stood there in awe, taking in the ethereal surroundings and feeling a sense of excitement and anticipation for what lay ahead."
For them, it was new and uncharted territory, filled with endless possibilities and unknown challenges.
Li Mei Ling and Wang Hao, who were not seen in log time, followed the new recruit with curiosity.
Zou Yang and Qiu Xufeng left, as their task was over and they had completed their duties as disciples.
But before leaving, both of them didn't forget to give Chen Tian a look of resentment.
Chen Tian just smiled and shrugged off their resentful looks, knowing that they can try to hold a grudge all they want; if they try to do anything, Chen Tian doesn't mind showing them that he is not to be trifled with.
"Chen Tian, Bingxin, I also need to go." Yin Yun informed them, her voice filled with sadness.
She didn't want to leave her two new friends, but she had to go report her mission to her master and fulfill her duties as a disciple.
Chen Tian and Su Bingxin understood her obligations and nodded in understanding.
"After I finish with my task, I will come to find that I still need to show you around!" She said with a smile, and after that, she left.
Chen Tian and Su Bingxin wanted to follow the new recruits, but they were stopped by Xu Zhiyuan.
"Both of you, come with me. You don't have to go with them," Xu Zhiyuan said with a firm tone.
With a swift nod, Chen Tian and Su Bingxin obeyed Xu Zhiyuan's command and followed him instead. They were curious about where he was taking them.
Without having the trouble of climbing the stairs that led to the sect.
Xu Zhiyuan's used his Qi and floated upward effortlessly, he took Chen Tian and Su Bingxin letting them follow him closely from behind.
As they ascended, the view became more breathtaking, and they could see the entire sect sprawling below them.
It was a sight that filled them with awe and anticipation for what awaited them at the top.
The stairs that led to the top of the mountain led to the outer part of the sect; there were around 30 thousand outer disciplines in the Immortal Sword Sect.
The outer part of the sect is called Earth Peak.
Xu Zhiyuan didn't pay much attention to the vast number of disciples below.
He was solely focused on reaching the top of another mountain that was higher than the one they just passed, where the inner disciples resided.
The Sky Peak, as it was called,
The inner part of the sect was smaller in size compared to Earth Peak, but it was where the true power and potential of the Immortal Sword Sect lay.
"A-Amazing!" Su Bingxin exclaimed, her eyes widening in awe as she took in the breathtaking view of Sky Peak mountain.
The towering mountain stood proud and majestic, its peak disappearing into the clouds.
The inner disciples who resided there were the crème de la crème of the sect, their skills and cultivation levels far surpassing those of the outer disciples.
Only a select few were chosen to become inner disciples, and there were only 5 thousand inner disciplines in the sect.
The weakest inner discipline was in the Core Formation realm, and the strongest could even reach the Soul Formation realm.
"If you're that amazed by the inner part, wait until you see the core part of the sect," Xu Zhiyuan said with a knowing smile.
"Elder Xu..."
"Call me master," Xu Zhiyuan interrupted, his voice filled with authority.
Chen Tian wanted to ask Xu Zhiyuan about the core part of the sect, but before he could finish his sentence, Xu Zhiyuan interrupted him.
"M-Matser, if this Peak is the inner part of the sect, then where is the Core part?" Chen Tian said, his curiosity piqued.
Xu Zhiyuan's smile widened as he gestured towards the sky.
Chen Tian and Su Bingxin didn't need any further explanation. They both looked up at the vast expanse of the sky, realizing that the Core part of the sect must be hidden within the clouds.
"I-Is it really impossible to reach the Core part?" Su Bingxin stammered, her excitement mixed with a hint of doubt.
Xu Zhiyuan chuckled softly, his eyes filled with amusement. "It won't be easy," he said, "but for those who possess the talent and determination, nothing is impossible in our sect."
"The Qi in this part of the sect is three times stronger than the outer part," Xu Zhiyuan continued as he continued flying toward an isolated portion of the mountain range.
They arrived at a dense forest with towering trees and a thick canopy that blocked out most of the sunlight.
The air was filled with the sounds of chirping birds and rustling leaves.
Su Bingxin marveled at the beauty of the forest, feeling a sense of tranquility wash over her.
Xu Zhiyuan led them deeper into the forest, only to arrive at an open clearing that was close to the edge of the mountain range.
Offering a great view of Earth Peak and the surrounding valleys. Su Bingxin stood in awe as she took in the breathtaking scenery before her.
In the middle of the open clearing, a wooden house stood, blending seamlessly with the natural surroundings. Its rustic charm and simplicity feel like a cozy retreat in the midst of the wilderness.
"From today onward, this will be your home." Xu Zhiyuan declared, his voice filled with excitement.
"For now both of you should take some rest and familiarize yourself with the place. I will be back tomorrow morning to give you your discipline tokens," Xu Zhiyuan said.
"Thank you, master." Both Chen Tian and Su Bingxin replied in unison, their expressions filled with gratitude.
Xu Zhiyuan disappeared from sight, leaving Chen Tian and Su Bingxin alone in their new home.
As they looked around, they couldn't help but marvel at the beauty of their surroundings.
The house blended seamlessly with the natural landscape, and the sound of birds chirping and leaves rustling in the wind created a serene atmosphere.
Not to mention the great view of the mountains in the distance. It was as if they had found their own little piece of paradise.
Overwhelmed with happiness, Chen Tian turned to Su Bingxin and said, "I can get used to this."
