Arriving at Tianjian, Elder Takes Disciple

[You decide to head to the Tianjian Sect.]

[Based on the location displayed on the True Disciple Token, you believe there are three suitable ways to travel.]

[Please choose...]

[1. Traverse directly through the Qingxia and Lanxia mountain ranges, then cross the central plains to arrive. This is the shortest route physically, but carries the risk of encountering powerful Yao Beasts.]

[2. Head to the capital of the Tianyun Kingdom, where there is a teleportation array. After several transfers, you can reach the Tianjian Sect, but it will cost a large amount of Spirit Stones.]

[3. Carefully bypass the two mountain ranges and travel on foot, which will take a significant amount of time.]

"I choose option two," Su Yang said after a quick glance, making his decision.

Option one was too dangerous. The depths of the mountains were sure to have third-tier, or even fourth-tier Yao Beasts.

Encountering even one could be the end of him.

Yao Beasts wouldn't recognize a True Disciple Token from the Tianjian Sect.

Option three was too slow, potentially taking seven or eight years, or even a decade or more.

Su Yang couldn't wait that long in the simulation.

It would affect his cultivation speed.

[You head to the capital of the Tianyun Kingdom and discover that their teleportation array only activates when a hundred people are gathered. There are still sixty-eight people needed before the next activation.]

[You wait for three months before the required number of people is gathered.]

[You use the teleportation array and arrive in the territory of Huoyun Tower. Their teleportation array, like the one in the Tianyun Kingdom, also requires a certain number of people to activate. However, they only need eighty people, and there are still thirty-seven missing.]

[Two months later, you teleport again!]

[At 18 years old, after several transfers and selling many gifts given to you by the Huaye Sect leader, you finally arrive at the shores of Qijian Lake. Your cultivation realm has reached Qi Cultivation Layer Five.]

"Qi Cultivation Layer Five!"

"A genuine spiritual root is truly potent. To reach this level while traveling and cultivating simultaneously is incredibly fast."

"Once I officially join the Tianjian Sect and have access to sect resources, focusing solely on cultivation, won't I reach Foundation Establishment in no time!"

Outside the simulation, Su Yang did a quick calculation and was startled.

At this cultivation speed, he could at least reach Golden Core in this simulation.

If luck was on his side, Nascent Soul wasn't entirely impossible.

This meant he might even be able to afford this identity using only simulation points.

Then, wouldn't the discount coupons be saved?

Su Yang thought about it.

He felt like his brain had short-circuited.

Save, save for what?

Were discount coupons not meant to be used? Why save them? The same amount of simulation points offered far more freedom than discount coupons.

After despising his own intelligence from the previous moment, Su Yang continued the simulation.

[You present your True Disciple Token and are granted free passage on a boat to Tianjian Island in the center of the lake.]

[The moment you step onto Tianjian Island, the entire island lets out a thunderous roar.]

[This is a ceremony of the Tianjian Sect. The ringing of a bell signifies the birth of another True Disciple.]

[Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, a great many Tianjian Sect disciples surge out from the buildings on the island.]

[Before long, they surround you, observing you with curiosity.]

[You're so scrutinized that goosebumps erupt all over your body.]

[At this moment, they collectively bow: "Welcome True Disciple back to the sect."]

[You are moved by their enthusiasm. Is this the atmosphere of the Tianjian Sect? It's incredibly friendly.]

"Go, go, go, all of you, make way!" A beautiful woman, appearing to be in her early twenties, emerges and drives them all away.

A scene slowly unfolds before Su Yang's eyes.

Hundreds of Tianjian Sect disciples stare at him with fervent gazes.

Then, they all bow to him in unison.

Immediately after, a tall, beautiful woman appears and disperses them all.

She then walks towards him with a smile.

[The beautiful woman tells you her name is Yuanyang, and she is the current senior disciple of Sun Sword Peak.]

[For your entry into the Tianjian Sect this time, you have been assigned to Sun Sword Peak. Of course, if you are not satisfied, you can apply for a transfer within three months.]

[You indicate that you understand.]

[She continues to introduce you to the sect's situation.]

[Soon, you gain a basic understanding of the sect.]

The Tianjian Sect has four major peaks: Tianjian Peak, Earth Sword Peak, Sun Sword Peak, and Moon Sword Peak. Tianjian Peak is the main peak of the Tianjian Sect.

In addition to these, there are 12 smaller peaks and 112 outer sect mountain peaks that are not even worth mentioning.

Only the major peaks are qualified to recruit True Disciples. Even the disciples of the peak master on a smaller peak cannot be called True Disciples; they can only be called personal disciples.

As for the outer, insignificant mountain peaks, they are even less worth mentioning. The masters of these peaks are merely Golden Core cultivators who are not doing well. The disciples there don't even have the qualifications to be inner sect disciples.

The group of people from just now were actually outer sect disciples from the outer peaks. They were a mixed bag, and most of them would follow you around as servants, taking advantage of your unfamiliarity with the sect's situation, to sneak into the major peaks.

Yuanyang led you further into the sect.

Half a day later, you arrived at Sun Sword Peak.

A mountain peak rose from the ground, its height immeasurable. The summit of the peak shone brilliantly, and a great sun was blazing with scorching firelight at its peak.

Yuanyang explained to you that this was a Spiritual Power displayed by a Spirit Transmutation Ancestor tens of thousands of years ago.

You marveled at the might of a Spirit Transmutation cultivator.

Three days later, after the sect entry ceremony, you officially became a disciple of Sun Sword Peak to cultivate!

You found that with the same resources, your cultivation speed had greatly increased.

You looked up at the great sun overhead. Under its illumination, cultivators with fire-attribute spiritual roots and physiques would have their cultivation speed boosted. As long as your body could withstand it, the closer you were to the peak, the stronger the effect of increasing cultivation speed would be.

With your current strength, you could only cultivate at the foot of the mountain.

This was the reason why the Spirit Transmutation Ancestor had displayed this Spiritual Power technique back then.

The other three major peaks also had corresponding treasures or sacred grounds.

This was one of the foundations of the four major peaks.

At 20 years old, you broke through to the seventh level of Qi Cultivation!

In the Qi Cultivation Minor Competition, you took 3rd place!

Gu Changfeng, the Third Elder of Sun Sword Peak, took notice of you and wanted to take you as his disciple.

Please choose...

1, Agree immediately and become a disciple of the Third Elder. 2, Refuse. If you want to take a master, take the strongest. Your goal is the Peak Master. 3, Neither agree nor refuse. Find a way to make the Third Elder your lapdog.

"This option three is a joke!"

Su Yang's mouth twitched.

The peak masters of the insignificant mountain peaks in the Tianjian Sect were all True Persons at the Golden Core stage. For a core major peak like Sun Sword Peak, the elders would at least be Nascent Soul True Lords.

Make him your lapdog?

He had lived for thousands of years, and you, a young man of 20, could make him your lapdog?

Su Yang didn't want the him in the simulation to die young.

"Then I'll agree. Having a master means having a backer, and someone to ask for guidance when you have questions about cultivation!"

"System, choose option one."

[You readily agreed and bowed immediately.]

[Gu Changfeng was also very satisfied with your attitude. He immediately bestowed upon you a life-saving Talisman Treasure and many High-grade Magic Tools suitable for you, arming you to the teeth.]

[That evening, Gu Changfeng analyzed your cultivation path.]

[With your talent, your future goal should at least be a Nascent Soul True Lord.]

[Therefore, you must lay a solid foundation in the Qi Cultivation Realm.]

[You should reach at least the eleventh level of Qi Cultivation before breaking through to Foundation Establishment. Of course, reaching the twelfth level would be even better.]

[You nodded in agreement.]

[Based on the Blazing Sword Technique you had already learned, he recommended eight first-tier sword-based Spell Techniques that were very suitable for you, and guided you on the key points of their cultivation.]

[According to him, mastering any three of these sword techniques to the Spell Seed stage would lay the foundation for cultivating a Spiritual Power in the future.]

[If you mastered all of them, you would have the hope of cultivating the sect's top-tier Spiritual Powers or even great Spiritual Powers in the future.]
