Star-defying cultivation

The Arch-Emperor Heavenly Sect

[ Upon successfully reaching the Qi Condensation Realm, you receive your first magical technique: Telekinesis ]

[ Telekinesis: Allows you to move objects with your mind ]

[ New mission added: Join the Sect of the Arch-Emperor of Heaven ]

[ Reward: You will receive a second magical technique ]

Oh! I can gain rewards just by completing your missions? Ye Xian wondered in astonishment.

He then thought about what the cultivator had just said and the mission assigned by the system, which made him wonder why he had never heard of the Sect of the Arch-Emperor of Heaven... Only the Sect of the Heavenly Emperor.

"I was even looking for a sect to join, so I accept." He said after serious consideration.

The young man smiled, happy to see a kid who was serious when it came to his future.

This can only be called a blessing... I left the sect on a mission about three months ago and I'm returning with not only the mission completed but also a talented future disciple. Senior is definitely going to give me gifts. He thought excitedly, before realizing something and his face fell.

"So, are we going?" Ye Xian asked, impatient to see what a cultivation sect looked like.

Meanwhile, the cultivator looked him up and down.

Poor clothes, small stature, and... Why is he so handsome? Heavens! Is this really a blessing or just a curse? What if Senior takes him in and kicks me out? He couldn't help but hold his head, searching for an excuse to run away.

But after thinking about it, he sighed... Fine! It's not his fault that he's handsome, and I, an elected disciple of the sect and an honest person, won't abandon a talented person just for my own interests.

Although he thought this, his heart was a little broken.

"Alright, let's go!" He said as he moved forward and held Ye Xian by the shoulders. It was only at this moment that the latter remembered the village and that he had to at least inform them. But before he could say anything, the young man and he flew directly into the distance in a beam of light.

He couldn't help but look behind him before shaking his head with a smile and muttering, "Simple! When I become capable of flying, I'll simply come back to see you all."

"Ah yes! Thank you very much, Chief Yang!"

________________

Night had already fallen when the young man and Ye Xian finally saw proof that they were already close to the sect.

A mountain range stretched out before them, each mountain surrounded by a huge ancient chain. There were even clouds here and there, which made Ye Xian wonder if he was dreaming.

When standing on one of the mountains, one could see a large river to the right, though no one knew what lay on the other side. To the left was a large, calm forest, dark beneath the starry night sky.

Ye Xian, who had never left the village before, could only be astonished by all of this, and he found the view pleasant.

However, good moments never lasted. The young man accelerated a little more, leaving the mountain range behind. He had personally slowed down after noticing that Ye Xian was admiring his clan's mountain range.

Just after the mountain range, the first thing Ye Xian saw was several much larger and bigger mountains, on which there seemed to be what looked like huge villages, at least from his point of view.

There were 5 mountains to the right, aligned together, and another 5 to the left, with an even larger mountain in the center.

Each of these mountains was much larger than those in the mountain range behind him.

He even wondered what the view would look like during the day. As for the young man, he had the look of someone finally returning home after being away for several months.

He shook his head before turning toward the mountain range on the right and descending with Ye Xian toward an area on the third mountain.

There were several wooden rooms forming a large circle and a single room in the center.

At the same time, the young man shouted, "Chen Badao!" At the same time, a slightly muscular young man who was visibly 19 years old, with slightly long black hair, quickly came out of the room in the center and approached before clasping his fist into his other palm and bowing respectfully.

"Greetings! Sect's Chosen."

The young man nodded before pointing at Ye Xian, who was watching the scene with amusement. To him, this was simply the kind of respect an emperor should receive, which made him excited at the thought of becoming stronger.

"You have a newcomer to take care of," said the young man.

The young man named Chen Badao couldn't help but look Ye Xian up and down, fascinated by his beauty, before focusing on his height and becoming astonished.

A kid? Am I being treated like a babysitter now? Damn! How low has my status in the clan fallen? he wondered, wishing there was a hole in the ground for him to crawl into and hide. He simply felt like he was being made fun of.

He still forced himself to nod with difficulty.

The young man then turned toward Ye Xian before saying with a smile, "Welcome to the Sect of the Arch-Emperor of Heaven. However, you are only an aspiring disciple for now. After passing the upcoming aspiring disciple tournament in one year and obtaining a good ranking, you will be able to enter the outer sect."

He then clasped his fist into his other palm without bowing. "Cultivate well until then without distractions and..." Then he lowered his voice while looking around. "Forget about girls for now. There are plenty in the outer sect, and especially in the inner sect. You can think about them once you leave this place."

This was simply advice given to a junior who was very handsome and could be distracted because of the attention given to him by girls and everything that came with it.

Ye Xian understood and nodded with a smile.

What the hell am I going to do with a girl when I'm only 14 years old and trying to reach the level of an emperor?

The young man smiled in return before flying away in a beam of light toward another side of the mountain. Ye Xian could see a large wall standing there, separating the other side from where he was currently.

Chen Badao then sighed before looking at Ye Xian with disdain. It was in his nature to look down on aspiring disciples in this place, respecting only the disciples of the outer and inner sects. Moreover, he was extremely jealous of Ye Xian when comparing his appearance to his own.

"Go to the room over there..." He said while pointing toward one of the rooms. Ye Xian, who was looking here and there, came to his senses before following the direction pointed out by Chen Badao's finger.

It was the 7th room.

"Tomorrow morning, you start your work, whether you're a child or not. For now, get some rest," Chen Badao said with a cold snort before turning around and heading toward the room in the center.

Bastard! Just wait until my beloved system helps me evolve further, and we'll see who will be ordering the other around! Ye Xian thought with a frown before heading toward the room that had been assigned to him.

Before he could enter, a young man who was a little taller, around 17 or 18 years old, with slightly long black hair tied at the back and falling down his back, was already coming out, forcing Ye Xian to stop. The young man stopped as well before looking at him with an astonished expression.

A child!?! What is he doing here? he wondered in confusion. But these questions were pushed aside, replaced by another one.

Where did he get such hair and a face like that? He had simply never seen hair so long that it almost touched the ground, nor such a beautiful face.

"Yo! That other bastard over there told me to head to this room. I'm going to have to tell him it's occupied," Ye Xian said, pointing toward the room in the center and preparing to turn around. However, the young man's face fell when he realized who Ye Xian was calling a bastard, so he grabbed him by the hand and pulled him inside.

"Idiot! You dare call him a bastard? Are you tired of living?" he reprimanded him, but after seeing Ye Xian's perplexed look, he couldn't help but sigh.

He's just a child...

"Fine, let's say we'll stay together here. That's how things work here. And be good, I'll be back in a few minutes." He then said before leaving, visibly in a hurry. But he couldn't help taking a glance at Ye Xian's hair before leaving.

Oh! So that's how it is? Ye Xian was enlightened. Then he looked around him... It was spacious, with a clean platform and a pillow made of sheep's wool.

He didn't comment and simply sat down. He mainly wanted to talk with the Celestial Voice about how to become stronger, since he was bothered by the fact that he was being directed around here even though, according to him, he was the one who should be directing people.

"I joined the sect! That's it, my reward."

[ For joining the Sect of the Arch-Emperor of Heaven, you receive a new magical technique as promised ]

[ The Sanctuary of a Thousand Swords! ]

"Sanctuary?"

[ The Sanctuary of a Thousand Swords: This is a technique that allows you to create swords that you can use in various situations ]

[ However, this technique is divided into 10 levels, and you are currently only at the first level. ]

[ Level 1: You can create a maximum of 10 weapons, each capable of cutting through metal. ]

[ Would you like to see your status screen?]

"What's a status screen?" Ye Xian asked, having never heard of such a thing.

[ I will take that as a "Yes." ]

What looked like a glowing screen suddenly appeared in front of the bewildered Ye Xian.

[ Name: Ye Xian

Age: 14 years old

Nickname: None

Cultivation Realm: Early Qi Condensation Realm.

Magical Techniques: Telekinesis, the Sanctuary of a Thousand Swords. ]

Ye Xian, who had learned how to read, understood everything written there as he looked at it with great interest.

"I'm here!" The voice of the young man who had gone outside rang out, forcing Ye Xian to look toward the entrance.

"What were you doing, sitting there and staring into space?" the other one asked, making Ye Xian realize that the other person couldn't see his status screen.

"Never mind. You seem lost from what I understand. If I don't help you learn the rules, you might get yourself killed by Chen Badao," said the young man as he sat down beside him.

"I'm Zhuo Yin! And you?" he asked with a sincere smile.

"Ye Xian!" Ye Xian simply said as he straightened up, appreciating the fact that he had a kind roommate.

"Very well, Ye Xian... I'll tell you about the sect! Do you want me to?"

Before Ye Xian could nod, the Celestial Voice rang out.

[ Ask him where The Sword's Source is located! It will be useful for quickly cultivating your Sanctuary of a Thousand Swords technique. ]
