On the fourth day,everything was going as usual until a young woman arrived at the foot of the mountain. The young woman was wearing a blue robe that sticks closely to her skin,showing off her curvy figure. Behind her was a bow that was actually about her body size. If something about her really has to be mentioned,it would be the aura that she"s giving off.
Inside the main hall, Nightin was cultivating peacefully as per usual,yet he stopped so when he sensed someone coming towards the sect. No,the person is already waiting for him at the bottom of the mountain. Despite not knowing the reason for the person"s arrival,Nightin still decided to go look for the person.
Shortly after,he arrived at the foot of the mountain and met the woman face to face. A grin formed on the woman"s face as she said "Hey,you must be the sect master of the rising Nirvana sect right? I"m Isabella Leaf from the Leaf Royal family of the Leafal City. I"m the king"s only daughter in fact. How about this, I"ll join your sect if you defeat me. But if you lose, you"ll be my servant. How about it?"
Nightin laughed at her "Miss Leaf,are you sure that you can defeat me? You"re nothing but a porcelain protected by your..."
"Boom!"
An intimidating aura burst out from Isabella which actually shocked Nightin. Nightin took out his sword immediately and readied himself to deal with any coming situation that might arise.
Isabella mocked back at him this time "You may not know,but I"m the youth who is ranked third out of all the city geniuses. I may only be seventeen years old,but I"m already at second realm of martial spirit."
Isabella gave Nightin a smile before taking out her bow and pulling the string,condensing an arrow made out of spirit energy "Have fun with this shot little brother!"
Nightin stood there as he took out his sword, swinging it twice in a row. Two swords of the Nine Mystic Swords collides with the arrow and destroyed it easily. Without any sign of stopping,it dashes towards Isabella.
d.a.m.n it,how is this even possible. Without any hesitation,Isabella dodged to her left,not knowing that the trap had already been laid out for her in advance.
In the past month,Nightin"s cultivation had not only increased,but he also condensed out the third sword of the nine mystics.
The moment Isabella"s foot landed on the ground,a sword shot up from the group and condensed into a net wrapping her up.
The biggest improvement he had made would be his breakthrough one the sword path in which he improved his control mostly. Right now,the movements of his sword won"t be restricted to only those of the sword path,but in any way he wants to. Something that even most first cla.s.s sword master"s aren"t capable of doing. (More details as story advances)
With a swift motion,the net entangled Isabella and trapped her within the sword net.
Isabella struggled and tried to break the net apart with her spirit energy,only for the next to contract tighter causing her pain. "Hey, hey that"s enough alright! I give up already! I"ll join your sect as an elder ok?"
Nightin released the sword net as he asked "I know what you"re about to ask,if it"s a bow technique you want, there"s one of the earth rank which you can learn in advance. In return, you"ll take in some disciples from my sect under you,simply speaking, you"ll be in charge of your own mountain." She definitely has more to ask,I have to be careful.
Isabella puffed her cheeks and said "That"s a promise right! Not only that,I expect no restrictions at all! Also,will resources be given out to my mountain? Will I be able to command every disciple? Will I..."
Nightin couldn"t stand Isabella anymore and had no choice but to cut her off "Alright alright, we"ll talk about all this later alright?"
With that,the new rising Nirvana sect has their first elder with her very own mountain,the mountain of bow path.
Swinging her green coloured ponytail to the side,Isabella stood at the top of her mountain and shouted at everyone "Listen up kids,if you want to learn how to become a great archer,climb up this mountain and look for me! I only accept females by the way!"
Nightin was nodding as approval of her plans until he heard the part "females only" which made him want to vomit blood. Doesn"t this mean that the current male disciples won"t gain access to any archery skills? But of course,he kept quiet as this is what he had promised Isabella just now.
In the end,only two disciples joined Isabella"s mountain,not only that,the two she chose had the best apt.i.tude and looks out of all the females present as well. With this,it acted as a morale boost to the guys who are actually courting them right now.
Nightin stood below as he sighed "I guess this acts as a sort of motivation for them at least."
The very next day,Nightin gathered everyone in the main hall as he made some new announcements "Three months from now,our sect will be partic.i.p.ating in the middle grade sect tournament and we have been granted six spots. With Lancelot and Ayden reserving one each,there are only four spots left."
At this moment,the disciples in the main all were all excited with the wild flame in their heart slowly coming alive,burning with pa.s.sion.
"I must work hard no matter what, I"ll definitely obtain one of the spots!"
"You can stop dreaming, you"re only at the third realm of martial apprentice right now!"
Nightin was shocked when he saw one disciple acting calmly,not only that,his cultivation was at the seventh realm of martial apprentice as well even though he hasn"t received training from any of the mountain leaders.
Deciding in his heart,Nightin remembered the person"s face and decided to get him to stay behind after everyone has taken their leave.
Clearing his throat,Nightin continued "After careful deliberation, I"ve decided to give one spot to every mountain and one to the disciples who have not chosen any mountain yet. After one month time,the candidates must be chosen as they"ll receive special training."
Nightin"s face sent a chill down everyone"s spine as the same thought went through everyone"s mind: The sect master must be up to no good.
Before dismissing everyone,he said "The guy in black robe is to stay back,the rest of you can be dismissed!"
Hearing this,the countless disciples rushed out of the main hall as they headed to cultivate,at this moment, they"ll have to seize every precious moment and resource they can to cultivate.
The disciple asked to stay back wrinkled his eyebrows as he asked "Sect master,can I know the reason behind why I"m staying back while everyone has already taken their leave?"
Nightin smiled at him as he said "There"s no particular reason,you just caught my eye. I"ll just ask you one question,what are you cultivating for?"
The disciple body shook at this moment,clenching his fists tightly he replied "There"s no particular reason,I just want to know the limits of cultivation. While others may be using practical weapons such as swords,knives,axes and many more,my weapon is my spirit essence. My spiritual treasure which is a scroll already at the rare grade."
Nightin looked at him, appreciation could be seen in his eyes "Very well,I hope you won"t let me down three months from now. Just remember this, there"s no limit to the world of cultivation. The only limit is ourselves.
