Chapter 348: Teachings, Wealth, Companions, and Location (1)
The blue Dragon Star, a celestial body approximately 100,000 li in diameter, loomed in the distant space, a million li above ground level. Its presence felt almost eternal, a constant fixture in space.
Wu Yuan and Kuang Long stood next to Earth Immortal Xiang Sheng.
"In this immortal slip, you will find essential information about our sect, including my contact details in both the Redmoon Immortal Realm and the Dragon Star Immortal Realm," Earth Immortal Xiang Sheng said, passing Wu Yuan and Kuang Long an immortal slip each.
The two accepted the slips.
"After deciphering the immortal slips and reading the information inside, you will gain a deeper understanding of the sect," Earth Immortal Xiang Sheng continued. "Should you have further queries, do not hesitate to contact me through the immortal realms."
"Thank you, Elder," Wu Yuan and Kuang Long chorused respectfully.
Neither of them were fools. None of the outer disciples or inner disciples who previously joined them on the flying boat had received Earth Immortal Xiang Sheng’s immortal realm contact details. They both understood that Earth Immortal Xiang Sheng was extending a helping hand to them.
"Alright, head to your respective residences," Earth Immortal Xiang Sheng instructed. "Remember, joining the sect is merely the beginning. Dedicate yourselves to cultivation and do not slack off."
"Your disciple status will be protected during the first Dragon Star Tournament you participate in. However, a poor showing may lead to a reduction in cultivation resources provided, as well as a loss of face."
"Those who reach the higher echelons of the sect earn their position through merit," Earth Immortal Xiang Sheng emphasized. "If you wish to rise above others, you must prove your worth."
"By your second Dragon Star Tournament, failure to show progress may result in status demotion to inner disciple," Earth Immortal Xiang Sheng warned. "As the one to induct you to our sect and guide you thus far, I do not wish to see this happen to either of you."
"Thank you for the reminder, Elder," Wu Yuan and Kuang Long replied.
Dragon Star Tournament? Wu Yuan wasn’t too sure what it meant, but he surmised that it likely involved some form of competition within the Dragon Star Immortal Sect.
"Very well, I shall depart now," Earth Immortal Xiang Sheng said. Stepping forth, he transformed into a streak of light and soared toward Dragon Star, leaving Wu Yuan and Kuang Long behind.
The two exchanged a glance.
"Senior Brother Li, what should we do now?" Kuang Long inquired, a tinge of uncertainty in his voice. "Fly to our residences? It seems to be hundreds of thousands of li from here."
For outer, inner, and hereditary disciples, those of a lower status would address those of a higher status as ‘Senior’, regardless of their cultivation level. For disciples within the same status, the hierarchy of disciples was defined by their admission time. Wu Yuan joined the sect one day earlier than Kuang Long, hence he became the senior brother.
"Fly over?" Wu Yuan arched an eyebrow, chuckling. "How long would it take for us to cross that distance?"
A flight speed of 12,000 li in a single breath, is this the flight speed of a Void Refiner cultivator? Wu Yuan marveled inwardly.
It was equivalent to 2000 li per second, and this was just the first-stage Void Refiner phase!
Soon, he found himself outside Dragon Star, in a space shrouded in wisps of fog. Through his identity token, Wu Yuan could 'see' the entrance to another world. This entrance wasn’t too big, but it couldn’t be described by any unit of measurement. It seemed to twist and fold space in strange ways. Wu Yuan, who had yet to comprehend the profundities of space, could not understand how it worked.
It was only with the help of the immortal slip from Earth Immortal Xiang Sheng and the power granted by the sect that Wu Yuan was able to navigate to this strange worldlet.
Hum~ As space twisted, Wu Yuan stepped into the new world.
The scenery around him shifted.
This place? Wu Yuan surveyed his surroundings, taking in the massive sky city before him. His Soul Force extended out, confirming that it spanned over 20 li.
His eyes were immediately drawn to a temple, flanked by rows of halls on either side. Beneath Wu Yuan’s feet lay the entrance to the sky city, and behind him loomed a massive spatial vortex leading back to the world outside.
Whoosh! There was a flurry of movement as dozens of figures approached Wu Yuan from the distant structures and halls, each exuding a vibrant vital aura.
They gathered swiftly before him, led by a middle-aged man in flowing white robes and an angular face. His eyes were bright and exuded a keen intelligence. He wore a badge above his breast engraved with a single blue line. If one observed it closely, it seemed to give off the impression of a vast river.
The middle-aged man bowed toward Wu Yuan, "Lu Zhu pays his respects to the Heir."
"We pay our respects to the Heir," echoed the dozens of figures who also wore white robes. Their badges were embellished with only a smattering of blue dots resembling raindrops, their vital auras notably weaker.
Observing this, Wu Yuan couldn't help but marvel inwardly. Though the immortal slip had given him a heads-up, witnessing it firsthand still felt unreal.
The leader was an Amethyst Cradle cultivator, while the dozens or so individuals behind him were all Golden Core cultivators!
They were the guardians of this worldlet, subordinates assigned by the Dragon Star Immortal Sect to Wu Yuan.
Such treatment was customary for all hereditary disciples.
"Custodian Lu, as I am new here, I will be relying on your help in the future," Wu Yuan said with a smile.
"Haha, you are too kind, serving the Heir is my duty," Lu Zhu replied, returning the smile.Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com
