Chapter 223: First Discovery
If I thought the area for the training grounds was large, the sheer amount of land that Im passing by thats dedicated to the warehouses and sect servants trivializes it.
Buildings and Roads that soar over gaps that are too frightening to mention.
Theres at least 1000 kilometers of just these buildings here. And I know there are even more out there.
Which makes this situation even more strange.
The amount of the area Im actually seeing from this position within the sect is at least 100,000 sq km large. But my scan from when I first arrived on this world, Privilon, was that the sects area was around 10,000 sq km.
That could only mean that the space distortion I noticed when I arrived near the mountain is even more pronounced than I thought. The technical area from the outside, is 10,000 sq km. However, the inside is far larger and just as true.
But how is the question?
From what I can tell, it may actually be a quirk of the mountain itself, rather than a formation created by the sect. Likely one of the reasons they chose this sect.
Despite my subconscious telling me I need to focus on the journey, a major realization stops me in my tracks and causes me to stare up at the sun.
The Revolving Heavenly Light Sect primarily uses primarily light-based techniques as their sect cultivation methods.
If the amount of area in the sect is actually extremely large, with a constant amount of sunlight spread within it, then that means any large scale, light-based technique used within the sect and facing outwards would be concentrated to an absurd degree!
Adding to that is the defense walls, which concentrate light, going from the top of the mountain all the way to the Outer City walls. Making the amount of light that would come out exponentially larger!
That doesnt even include the shenanigans that could be done to improve light-based cultivation at higher levels
Just as I finished this thought, felt a shift in the air. Metaphorically and physically.
At the same time, my scan alerts me t-
Well, Well. Looks like we may have another genius on our hands. Making waves in More than one way, eh?
Oh no. I finally triggered it.
The cultivation information detectors.
As I rapidly turn around, a wizened, elderly man comes into view.
Covered in expensive flowing clothes, he is the picture of a cultivation master that I imagined when I came into this world.
I can see a knowing smile on his face as he continues.
So even with that set, I still bow to him and do the proper greeting for an elder.
Nonetheless, you were still my senior and I must pay you the proper respect. Thank you for passing your wisdom onto me.
I can see his eyes twinkle yet again, giving me a strange feeling.
Was was this a test? Because I feel like there was an ulterior motive for this.
The feeling doesnt fully go away, as he takes something out of his side pouch.
Extending far out of it are two swords.
Placing both on the ground, he quickly explains his intentions.
Since weve made our introductions, I know you must be eager to hurry along to senior song in completing your quest.
She sent me to make sure that you got here safely throughout the site, as you may be unfamiliar with the grounds.
Ah, that might have been why the guards were looking out for me. But why wouldnt they tell me if that was the case?
Unless they were looking out for another reason.
Ill need more time to figure out the politics of this place.
As I finished this thought, I see him wave towards the swords in the ground.
These swords here may not be fast, but I should have just enough power to get us both to her safely. My grandniece should be happy to see you there.
Huh, I guess this will be my first time on a flying did he say grandniece?
Obviously, since he gave a bomb statement like that, I looked towards him as if I want to ask something, but he gives me a mischievous smile that lets me know its not the time to ask.
As he climbs onto the sword, stepping on it like a skateboard, I follow in suit, matching his actions to the best of my ability.
As I do so, I can see him flash a few hand symbols and mutter a few words before the swords hover in place. At the same time, I can feel something similar to a seat belt placed upon my feet. Partially locking me to the board. I can sense if I ever wanted to jump off, I easily could and that its only purpose is to make sure I dont fall off.
Slowly, it rises to around 30 feet in the air. Almost immediately after, it sets off at a fast speed, just a bit faster than I was going. Definitely not my top speed, but one that people would be comfortable with in this Sect.
As we travel along, I turn towards senior Ling To talk further, but I can see him straining to concentrate.
It appears he truly is a foundation establishment. But one that is full of mystery.
It makes me wonder what will happen next.
