“This world is very large, the 10 Great Martial Spirits of the ancient times are incredibly powerful, but their existence is not without rivals.” Heaven-Devouring Swallow explained, “For instance, the Yao clan has no shortage of Divine Realm cultivators. Each of the Yao clan elders has their own bloodline divine skills that are comparable in strength. ”
The Heaven-Devouring Swallow was afraid that Xiao Yun had too much knowledge now and would temporarily become proud and arrogant enough to lose the basis of his martial ability. It couldn’t help but remind him a bit more.
“Don’t worry, I’ll continue to work hard.” Xiao Yun said resolutely, nodding his head.
Xiao Yun was somewhat familiar with those with bloodline divine skills. Back when the Heaven-Devouring Swallow devoured the Tribulation Lightning during his Divine Tribulation, he wondered how powerful that was.
When Emperor Feng waved his palms, it seemed as if a divine phoenix had descended. It had emanated that kind of power.
Even though Xiao Yun possessed a Life Martial Spirit, it was far from enough. As the elders have said, Life Martial Spirits don’t have as much combat strength, it was difficult to mature into something outstanding. So anyone who awakened this type of Martial Spirit will have to keep a low profile until they can get some small accomplishments.
However, after clarifying his situation, at least he now had a definitive goal.
"By the way, you still haven"t told me which clan had awakened the Life Martial Spirit?" Xiao Yun suddenly asked. This was the main question he had wanted to ask.
Half a year ago, Xiao Yun had heard his grandfather mention that ten years ago, his father had returned home with some serious injuries. In light of this, Xiao Yun"s father must have offended some enemy. However, his mother did not appear, which left Xiao Yun with some doubt in his heart.
"Could it be that father went to find mother?"
Other than that, Xiao Yun could not think of other reasons.
Since his Martial Spirit may have been inherited from his mother, his mother"s power level should not be low. So how can his father be in trouble?
At that time, his father had arrived with serious injuries and left him to be raised in Violet Cloud County! All sorts of doubts lingered in his heart, but now Xiao Yun had finally uncovered a small clue.
“In the Heavenly Capital Domain, there was indeed a clan that had awakened a Life Martial Spirit.” Heaven-Devouring Swallow said with some reluctance. Originally, it didn’t want to tell Xiao Yun since it was afraid it would put too much pressure on him. However, it was afraid if it didn’t say anything, there would be a knot left in Xiao Yun heart.
Down the road, this knot in his heart may become a hindrance in Xiao Yun"s cultivation. So the Heaven-Devouring Swallow eventually decided to tell him.
"Oh, what clan is it?" Xiao Yun said with sudden interest, asked expectantly.
"The Yao Clan." Heaven-Devouring Swallow said, "As for other matters, you don"t want to overthink this too much. This world is very large. Later when you are strong enough, you will naturally come into contact with all this. But if you are not strong enough, knowing too much will not be beneficial for you."
“Okay.” Xiao Yun nodded, silently committing those two words “Yao Clan” into his heart. Perhaps this clan was his mother’s clan. Later when he became strong enough, he could use this as a clue find his father and fulfill his grandfather"s wish.
Xiao Yun knew that he was not the only one who was worried about his father; his Grandpa must be worried as well. Otherwise, Grandpa wouldn’t have told him about these things.
Two days later, it was finally time for the Heaven Origin Sect disciples to gather. Xiao Yun bid farewell to Emperor Feng and left the palace.
Princess Yu Yao did not come to see off because her bloodline was starting to awaken, which completely changed her aura. If she went outside, other people would easily discover the change in her situation. Therefore, she has not left seclusion since the last time she was out with Xiao Yun.
In the military drill grounds within the Imperial City, Manager Qin and some Heaven Origin Sect managers landed on the platform and surveyed the scene below.
There were hundreds of disciples lined up neatly, waiting to depart.
Xiao Yun stayed with Manager Qin because he was joining the core temple directly instead of any of the peaks.
“Everyone is accounted for, prepare to depart.” Manager Qin glanced at the youths below, and pulled out a piece of hide. On the surface, the above runes flickered and emitted a brilliant light. Immediately, a wave of energy shot toward the crowd and lifted everyone onto the magic tool.
"Depart!"
Following that shout, Manager Qin quickly mobilized the magic tool and aimed it towards distant void.
The hide opened and became wider than anyone thought possible, capable of carrying thousands of people. The light completely shrouded everyone. This was to prevent the slipstream caused by the fast flying speed from hurting any of the pa.s.sengers.
Most flying magical tools would have these kinds of safety features to protect its pa.s.sengers. Of course, some low-level flight magic tools do not have these kinds of features, so their flying speed would be much slower.
Xiao Yun stood by Manager Qin’s side, surrounded by other managers on either side.
“The Heaven Origin Sect is relatively close to the Moonwind Kingdom, it’s only 28,000 miles away. Based on the breakneck flying speed of Manager Qin’s flying magical tool, it should only take less than 2 days to reach our destination. Oh, there will be opportunities for you to earn these types of flying magical tools after you join the core temple.” Yuan Rong smiled and explained to Xiao Yun, who was next to him. Even though Xiao Yun was not joining the Medicine Peak, Yuan Rong’s enthusiasm was not reduced.
Yuan Rong was optimistic about Xiao Yun’s potential, so he did not feel any resentment at all.
“28,000 miles?” Xiao Yun quietly asked. Magical tools are truly not ordinary, it allowed people to save so much time.
Otherwise, how long would it take to trek 20,000 miles? Even if you were to fly as an Essence Core cultivator, it would take up a lot of Essence Qi.
“I already explained your situation to the elders inside. After discussing with the elders, they unanimously decided to forgive your sins and allow to join the core temple. However, compet.i.tion in the core hall is fierce. Everyone gathered there is the pride of their family, if you want to receive more resources than the others, you must stand out from the crowd."
Manager Qin could not help but smile, "Of course, I believe based on your talents, it would be hard for you to be overlooked, no matter where you are. It"s just that when you reach Heaven Origin Sect, you will have to rely on your own strength. You can’t become too dependent on your demonic spirit."
Within the Sect, your heritage doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters is your own abilities.
Although Heaven-Devouring Swallow can be considered to be Xiao Yun"s trump card, it cannot be considered his own power, nor can it be a measure of his potential. In the core temple, the elders valued the development potential of the disciple more than momentary gains and losses.
"I understand." Xiao Yun nodded, he understood the reasoning. It’s difficult for a disciple who depended on external forces to become an expert. However, even if Xiao Yun did not have the Heaven-Devouring Swallow, he did not believe he would be weaker than the others.
Afterwards, some of the other elders explained to Xiao Yun some of the Heaven Origin Sect rules and so forth.
This made Qiu Xuan Rong, who stood beside him, absolutely livid. Some Qiu family youths also frowned.
"This guy." Nearby, Qiu Yu Feng’s eyes went dark, flashing glimmers of coldness.
Qiu Yu Chen was his older brother, so he bore a strong grudge against Xiao Yun. Originally he thought that he could take Xiao Yun’s life during the examination. How could he have guessed this would be the result? As of right now, Xiao Yun’s outlook is the best out of all the disciples in this batch.
Even though Qiu Yu Feng resented it, there was nothing he could do about it.
Last time, he and Qiu Xuan Zhen, two powerful clan elders, attacked him to no avail. He had no choice but to give up on it.
Xiao Yun didn’t pay much attention to the Qiu family.
He believed that as long as they are within the Heaven Origin Sect grounds, they would not dare make a move against him.
While riding on the flying carpet, looking through the patterns of light, the mountains and rivers slowly receded from view. The cloud and mists were flying by. The geniuses from various families peered back behind them. While they were slightly sad about leaving, they were more excited because they will soon be able to officially join the Heaven Origin Sect.
As long as they entered the Heaven Origin Sect, they had the opportunity to become experts. At worst they will still be stronger than those who remained in the Moonwind Kingdom.
With this air of excitement, two days pa.s.sed with the blink of an eye.
Suddenly, the flying carpet started to slow down. The light curtain gradually dissipated, and a cool breeze rustled everyone’s clothes . Before everyone could express their surprise, the thick scent of Essence Qi ahead of them plunged into their noses.
"The Essence Qi here is so thick, it’s probably 10 times thicker than the Essence Qi in the County."
“Everyone look, there is a mountain range towering over the clouds.” A shout of surprise buzzed through the crowd.
Soon after, all the youths started staring towards the scene in far in front of them. There was a peak surrounded by clouds, and you can feel that there was a ma.s.sive energy emanating from the clouds ahead.
“Is that the Heaven Origin Sect?” Everyone was shocked by the emanating energy. They couldn’t help but whisper quietly.
"Heaven Origin Sect?" Xiao Yun squinted slightly and stared at the scene ahead and clenched his fists. This was the first step in the road to become an expert. As long as he is given resources, Xiao Yun believed that he was strong enough to make rapid progress.
"You guys are about to enter Heaven Origin Sect. From this day forward, this is your home, so there is no reason to make a fuss. As long as you are strong enough, you can overcome the nine heavens and look down upon the world. Otherwise, even if your body is in the clouds, you are still an ant." With a solemn expression on his face, Manager Qin spoke to disciples behind him who had shouted in surprise earlier, "Experts must have the manners of Expert."
“Yes, we will keep in mind the manager’s instructions.” Some disciples who exclaimed earlier immediately responded after hearing his speech.
Manager Qin did not say much. He knew these types of actions were normal since many of these disciples were too young and their mindsets were not mature enough. It was up the nearby elders to urge them on appropriately, so these geniuses can grow.
Along with the flying magical tool, everyone was soon enveloped by the mist and fog.
Within the mist and fog, everyone was blinded by the mist and was unable to tell east from west.
Buzz!
Immediately after, a ripple in appeared in front of them and a curtain of light emerged.
"This is the magic protection array. All disciples need to have a Ident.i.ty Token to enter and leave the sect." An elder explained.
"In the future, you will need to register whenever you leave or enter. You will not be allowed to bring visitors into the sect. If you violate these rules, at best you will be punished, at worst you will be expelled. This place has many rules, everyone should take care to memorize all of them.”
Everyone quietly nodded, afraid they would miss something.
The curtain of light in front them was very large, it covered the entire mountain range and emitted an energy that awed people.
As long as the magical protection array was here, it will be quite difficult for outsiders to attack.
When Manager Qin waved his hand and pulled out a access card. He pressed it and the light pattern flashed. Immediately the magical protection array of the school stirred. A huge light gate appeared in the air. Right after, the flying carpet made a “snap” sound as he drove the carpet into the array.
After everyone entered the Heaven Origin Sect, the light door closed automatically. If you want to open it, you must have Heaven Origin Sect access card.
