“This is a vast world. The 10 Ancient Great Martial Spirits are incredibly powerful, but they are not unrivalled,” the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow explained, “For instance, the Demon clan has no shortage of Divine realm cultivators. Each of the Demon clan elders had their own bloodline divine skills that were comparable in strength.”
The Heaven-Devouring Sparrow was afraid that if Xiao Yun learned too much about his own Martial Spirit, it would go to his head and he’d become too arrogant to keep up his training. So it couldn’t help but caution him a bit more.
“Don’t worry, I’ll continue to work hard,” Xiao Yun said resolutely.
Xiao Yun was somewhat familiar with bloodline divine skills. When the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow absorbed the Tribulation Lightning during his Divine Tribulation, he had marveled at the power. When Emperor Feng waved his palms, it was like a divine phoenix had descended from the heavens. That was the power of bloodline divine skills.
Even though Xiao Yun possessed a Life Martial Spirit, it was far from enough. As the elders had told him, Life Martial Spirits didn’t have as much combat strength, and it was difficult for them to mature into something outstanding. Anyone who awakened this type of Martial Spirit would have to keep a low profile until they could achieve some small accomplishments.
However, after thinking through his situation, at least he now had a definitive goal.
“By the way, you still haven’t told me which clan it was that awakened the Life Martial Spirit,” Xiao Yun suddenly said. This was the main concern on his mind.
Half a year ago, Xiao Yun had heard his grandfather mention that ten years ago, his father had returned home with some serious injuries.Therefore, Xiao Yun’s father must have offended some enemy. However, his mother did not appear after that, which left Xiao Yun with some doubt in his heart.
Could it be that Father went to find Mother?
Xiao Yun couldn’t think of any other reason but that. Since his Martial Spirit may have been inherited from his mother, his mother’s abilities had to be high level. So how could his father be in trouble? At that time, his father had arrived with serious injuries and left Xiao Yun 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,” the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow said with some reluctance. Originally, it didn’t want to tell Xiao Yun lest it become a new obsession in his mind. However, it was also afraid if it didn’t say anything, there would be a knot left in Xiao Yun’s heart.
Down the road, this knot in his heart may become a hindrance in Xiao Yun’s cultivation, so the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow resolved to tell him.
“Oh, which clan is it?” Xiao Yun asked expectantly, perking up.
“The Yao Clan,” the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow said, “Don’t overthink it. The world is very big. When you become strong enough, you will naturally learn all that you should. But before then, knowing too much will only harm you."
“Okay.” Xiao Yun nodded, silently committing the name of the 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 grandfather 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 him 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 aura. Therefore, she had 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 an animal hide. On the surface, runes flickered and emitted a brilliant light. Immediately, a wave of energy shot toward the crowd and lifted everyone onto the magic tool.
"Let’s go!" Following his shout, Manager Qin quickly mobilized the magic tool and aimed it towards the distance.
The hide expanded and became wider than anyone thought possible, and soon it was large enough to carry thousands of people. The light from the runes engulfed everyone. This was to prevent any of the passengers from being harmed by the slipstream caused by the fast flying speed. Most flying magical tools had these kinds of safety features to protect its passengers. Of course, some low-level flight magic tools didn’t have these kinds of features, so their flying speed would naturally have to 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 speed of Manager Qin’s flying magical tool, it should only take less than 2 days to reach our destination. Oh, and 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 this 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 were truly extraordinary if they could allow people to save so much time.
Otherwise, how long would it take to trek 20,000 miles? Even if one were to fly as an Essence Core cultivator, it would cost 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, competition 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 that 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 the 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, one’s heritage didn’t matter. The only thing that mattered was one’s own abilities. Even though the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow could be considered as Xiao Yun’s trump card, it couldn’t be considered his own power, nor could it be a measure of his potential. In the Core Temple, the elders valued the development potential of the disciple more than momentary victories and losses.
“I understand.” Xiao Yun nodded in response. It was difficult for a disciple who depended on external forces to become an expert. However, Xiao Yun believed that even if he did not have the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow, he wouldn’t 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. He had originally 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 situation was 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, had attacked Xiao Yun to no avail. Qiu Yu Feng had no choice but to give up on his grudge.
Xiao Yun didn’t pay much attention to the Qiu family. He trusted that as long as they were within the Heaven Origin Sect grounds, they would not dare make a move against him.
As the group rode the flying carpet, they looked through the patterns of light and watched as the mountains and rivers slowly receded from view. The clouds and mists were flying by. The geniuses from various families gazed behind them. While they were sad about leaving their homes, they were more excited to soon officially join the Heaven Origin Sect.
As long as they were part of the Heaven Origin Sect, they had the opportunity to become experts. Even in the worst case, they would still be stronger than those who remained in the Moonwind Kingdom. With this air of excitement, two days passed with the blink of an eye.
Suddenly, the flying carpet started to slow down. The surrounding curtain of light gradually dissipated, and a cool breeze rustled everyone’s clothes . Before anyone could express their surprise, the thick scent of Essence Qi ahead of them plunged into their noses.
“The Essence Qi here is so heavy, it’s probably 10 times more potent 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 one could feel the massive energy emanating from the clouds ahead.
“Is that the Heaven Origin Sect?” Everyone was so shocked by the emanating energy, they couldn’t help but lower their voices to a whisper.
“Heaven Origin Sect?” Xiao Yun squinted at the scene ahead and clenched his fists. This was the first step in the road to become an expert. As long as he was given the resources he needed, Xiao Yun believed that he was strong enough to make rapid progress.
“You are all about to enter the 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 said to the disciples behind him who had shouted in surprise earlier, "Experts must have the manners of an expert."
“Yes sir. We will keep in mind the manager’s instructions,” the disciples who had been shouting earlier immediately responded after hearing his speech.
Manager Qin did not say anything. He knew this kind of reaction was normal, since many of these disciples were young and not yet mature enough. It was up the nearby elders to encourage them, so these geniuses could grow.
The magical tool was soon enveloped by a mist and and fog that blinded everyone on the carpet, making them unable to tell east from west.
Buzz!
The air rippled in front of them, a curtain of light emerged.
“This is the magic protection array. All disciples need to have an Identity Token to enter and leave the sect,” an elder explained, “In the future, you will need to check in whenever you leave or enter. You will not be allowed to bring visitors into the sect. If you violate these rules, you will be punished or even 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 large enough to cover the entire mountain range, and it emitted an awesome energy. As long as the magical protection array was here, it would be quite difficult for outsiders to invade.
Manager Qin waved his hand and pulled out a badge. He pressed it, and the light pattern flashed. Immediately the magical protection array stirred. A huge gate of light appeared in the air. Immediately after, the flying carpet made a “snap” sound as Manager Qin directed the carpet into the array.
After everyone entered the Heaven Origin Sect, the gate closed automatically. If one wanted to open it, one must have a Heaven Origin Sect badge.
