Chapter 223 New House

The sun had barely risen when Orion and Lily were up and about, excited for the journey ahead. They had been waiting for this moment for what felt like forever, dreaming of the day when they would leave their old life behind and start anew in the Celestial Harmony Sect.

As they stepped out of their house, they were greeted by a beautiful morning, the kind that seemed to promise adventure and new beginnings.

The sky was a deep shade of blue, and the sun was just starting to peek over the horizon, casting a warm glow over the world. The air was crisp and cool, and the grass was covered in a thin layer of dew.

Orion took a deep breath, filling his lungs with the fresh morning air, feeling a sense of anticipation building inside him.

Lily, too, was excited, bouncing on the balls of her feet as she looked up at her brother with a grin on her face. "Are we really going to the Celestial Harmony Sect, brother?" she asked eagerly.

Orion nodded, a smile spreading across his face. "Yes, we are," he said. "And we're going to make a new life for ourselves there."

As they stepped out of their door, they were greeted by a disciple from the Celestial Harmony Sect, who had been waiting for them with a car to escort them to their new home. The car was sleek and modern, with a deep blue paint job and tinted windows.

Orion and Lily clambered into the back seat, their bags stowed safely in the trunk and settled in for the ride.

As the car pulled away from their old home, Orion couldn't help but feel a pang of nostalgia. He had grown up in that house, surrounded by the familiar sights and sounds of his childhood. But now, as they drove away, he knew that it was time to leave the past behind and look toward the future.

The journey to the Celestial Harmony Sect was long, but Orion and Lily were too excited to care. They spent the time chatting with their escort, learning more about the sect and what life would be like once they arrived.

As they neared their destination, the car turned onto a long, winding road that led up to the entrance of the Celestial Harmony Sect. Orion felt his heart racing with excitement as he caught sight of the towering walls and ornate gates that marked the entrance to the sect. The car came to a stop in front of the gates, and the disciple turned to face them.

"Well, here we are," he said, a smile on his face. "Welcome to the Celestial Harmony Sect."

Orion and Lily climbed out of the car, their eyes wide with wonder as they gazed up at the imposing walls. The gates swung open with a deep, sonorous clang, and they stepped through into a whole new world.

The Celestial Harmony Sect was unlike anything they had ever seen. It was a sprawling complex of buildings, gardens, and training grounds, all built with meticulous attention to detail. The air was filled with the sound of bells and the murmur of voices, and Orion could feel the energy of the place humming through his veins.

"Welcome to the Celestial Harmony Sect," he said, his voice deep and commanding. "I am glad to see that you both made it safely."

Orion and Lily nodded, their excitement palpable. They had heard so much about this place, and now they were finally here.

"We are honored to be here," said Orion, his voice respectful.

The senior disciple smiled. "As well you should be. The Celestial Harmony Sect is a place of great power and prestige. You will find that life here is not like life outside the walls."

Orion and Lily followed the senior disciple as he led them through the bustling streets of the sect. Everywhere they looked, they saw cultivators in their robes, walking with purpose and intent. There were beasts of all shapes and sizes being led through the streets by their tamers.

The senior disciple pointed out various buildings and landmarks as they passed by, explaining their significance and purpose. They passed by the Beast Mastery Pavilion, the Martial Arts Hall, and the Celestial Library, among many others.

Finally, they arrived at a large, impressive building complex on the outskirts of the sect. The senior disciple turned to them.

As they walked through the complex, the senior disciple continued to speak. "This is your new home," he said, gesturing to the building complex. "You will be living here, along with many other disciples of the Celestial Harmony Sect. You will be granted one of the houses there," he added, pointing towards a row of buildings in the distance.

Orion and Lily looked toward the houses in awe. They were grand buildings made of polished stone and intricately carved wood. Each one had a garden in front of it, with brightly colored flowers and delicate bonsai trees.

"These houses are reserved for the most promising disciples of the sect," the senior disciple continued a note of pride in his voice. "Orion, You have shown great potential, and I am confident that you will make the most of your time here."

Orion and Lily nodded, still marveling at their surroundings. The senior disciple led them towards one of the houses, a grand building with a cherry blossom tree in front of it.

"This will be your new home," he said, opening the door and gesturing for them to enter.

Orion and Lily stepped inside, their eyes widening in amazement. The interior of the house was even more impressive than the exterior. The walls were lined with shelves filled with ancient tomes and artifacts, and there was a grand fireplace in the center of the room with a painting of a dragon above it.

"This is incredible," breathed Orion, his voice filled with wonder.

The senior disciple smiled. "I am glad you like it," he said. "This is just the beginning of what the Celestial Harmony Sect has to offer. There will be much more to discover in the days to come."

Orion and Lily spent the rest of the day exploring their new home and getting to know their fellow disciples. They were amazed at the level of talent and dedication among their peers and felt humbled to be a part of such a prestigious institution.
