Chapter 487: Four Element Gathering World - 487
Floating cross legged in front of the giant brush was the grand elder of the Writing Sect. As Zhu Yi stepped into the mountain, he opened his eyes.
"Have you made your decision?" He asked.
Zhu Yi nodded. "I wish to join the Sword Sect of the higher world."
The Grand Elder nodded. "It is the Sword Sect of the Four Elements Gathering. That is the name of the higher world you will be going to."
As he finished speaking, the Grand Elder took out a map and threw it to Zhu Yi.
"Go to the marked mountain. Someone from the Sword Sect will come and pick you up soon."
Zhu Yi thanked the Grand Elder and left. After a day of traveling, he landed on top of a lush mountain. There was a powerful nascent soul realm beast here, but Zhu Yi sent it flying and waited.
He practiced his sword for a month while waiting. He did not go into the time bubble. His lifespan was still an issue.
He was around 3,800 years old. Although he had plenty of time to grow, it was not enough in this world. Hopefully, such an issue would be solved in the next world.
As he practiced, the sky above him suddenly began to crack. Cracks spread out and the blue sky was replaced with space.
Within that space, a man stood with his arms crossed, looking at Zhu Yi. Zhu Yi silently stared back.
After a moment, the man reached out with his hand. His hand seemed to move through space and grab Zhu Yi.
Upon grabbing him, the man shot up. The universe moved past Zhu Yi at a speed he could hardly see. Everything was blurry. He was wrapped in a coat of Qi by the man carrying him so that he would survive. When he was able to see clearly once again, he was standing in what appeared to be some sort of old temple.
There were no walls and only pillars, yet the harsh space outside did not enter. Zhu Yi was able to naturally breathe. Looking around, he saw multiple people moving around the area.
Most notably, there were blue arrays on the ground circling the outside of the temple.
The man leading Zhu Yi walked on the ground like everyone else. This seemed to be a place that even he was not too special in.
Instead of walking towards the many arrays circling the outside of the temple, Zhu Yi was led to the center of the temple. There were around ten arrays here, and the man stood on one of them.
"Stand here." The man said.
Zhu Yi nodded and stood on the same circle as the man leading him.
The man took out a card and threw it to a person wearing a blue robe. Without a word, the person wearing the blue robe turned the card into specks of light and waved his hand. Once again, Zhu Yi felt as if he could not feel anything around him.
Just a moment later, he was hit with a breath of fresh air. He felt the intensely dense Qi around him. It felt as if he had gone from hell to Heaven in just a moment. As he opened his eyes, he saw a sight he would likely never forget in this life.
An endless gray metal ground surrounding him, a sky that seemed bluer than anything else he had ever laid eyes on, a burning sun that felt more intense than his birth worlds by a thousand times, and in the distance, four floating balls of color representing the four elements. On each of the balls was some sort of design or creature.
The man who led him silently watched Zhu Yi get used to the surroundings.
After a moment, Zhu Yi shook his head and regained clarity. He looked at the man that led him.
"Welcome to the Sword Sect branch of the Four Elements Gathering."
Now with clarity, Zhu Yi looked at the ground again. He felt a clear sword intent coming from it at all times and in all areas.
He looked at the man curiously. "What are we standing on?"
"The sword of the sect master of the Sword Sect. Expanded millions of times of course."
Zhu Yi was amazed, but the man interrupted his thoughts.
"We need to get you registered. I am elder Chit of the Sword Sect. Until you find a master or teacher, I will be guiding you."
Zhu Yi nodded as elder Chit took out a large sword from a spatial ring.
He sat it on the ground and stepped on it. "This is the main mode of transportation of the Sword Sect. Step on."
Zhu Yi was amazed and stepped on the sword with elder Chit. As he did so, the surroundings suddenly whizzed past at an indescribable speed.
In an instant, the sword stopped and Zhu Yi got off.
In front of him was a large metal building. Like the ground around them, it constantly gave off a feeling of sword intent.
There was no door, just a wide open arch that Zhu Yi was led through. All around him were people. Some were young and weak, while others were young and strong. There was also no lack of older cultivators.
Without exception, each one had a sword on their body. Looking around as they walked, Zhu Yi saw five colors of clothing. Red, brown, blue, green, and gray.
Looking backwards, Zhu Yi saw the four giant balls that represented the four elements. The color of the clothes and the balls matched up.
As they walked, elder Chit noticed Zhu Yi looking at the four balls. "Those represent the four elemental sects of the world. They are the Celestial Ice Sect, the Heavenly Phoenix Sect, the Mountain Earth Sect, and the Godly Wind Sect. Those are the four rulers of the four element gathering world."
Zhu Yi nodded. "What is the status of the sword sect?"
Elder Chit seemed to smirk with pride. "We aren't counted. Our sect is a universal sect. We are just a branch. We don't interfere with them, and they don't dare interfere with us."
Chapter 488: The Sect Master - 488
Zhu Yi's assessment of the Sword Sect was increased due to Elder Chit's words. As they continued walking, he spoke again.
"Why are there different colored clothes?"
Elder Chit looked around. "There are 5 colors of clothing that the people in the Sword Sect wear. Gray is the color of those who are the main disciples of the Sword Sect. The other colors you see means that the person is part of one of the four sects and came to the Sword Sect because they use a Sword. You can think of them like exchange students."
Zhu Yi nodded in understanding. Before long, they reached a large room with around ten young children waiting in line.
Zhu Yi looked at Elder Chit, and Elder Chit spoke. "This is where talent is tested. These children were found around the Four Elements Gathering world and seemed to have talent. You will be tested here, but you don't have to wait in line."
Saying this, Elder Chit walked past the line of people and stood directly in front of an array on the ground. Zhu Yi followed him.
As soon as the child on the array was done, a man with glasses spoke. "Great Rank meridians. Basic rank sword talent. Fire affinity. Can be accepted as low-rank member. Next."
The child walked off of the array and Elder Chit signaled Zhu Yi. Zhu Yi stepped on the array and Zhou Fan took action. As the array lit up, Zhu Yi felt as if something was viewing every part of his body. When the light died down, Zhu Yi saw the man with glasses, now without glasses. His jaw was dropped.
"Meridians undetectable. God-level Sword talent. Unknown Affinity, Space affinity, Fire affinity." After speaking, he did not say anything else. He did not have the authority to decide on Zhu Yi.
Elder Chit appeared from behind Zhu Yi and grabbed him by the collar with a serious face. Zhu Yi felt as if the world around him moved at an impossible to understand speed.
When he could see clearly, he was in front of a large door. Sitting on a chair to the side was an elderly man. His gray hair was so long that it bundled up on the floor.
Upon their arrival, he looked up.
Elder Chit bowed. "High Elder Jue. I request to see the sect master."
High Elder Jue looked at him seriously. "Is it because of that child?"
Elder Chit bowed again. "Yes sir."
High Elder Jue thought for a moment and nodded. The door behind him opened. "You know the consequences of bothering the sect master without a proper reason."
Elder Chit bowed once more before walking into the room. Zhu Yi silently followed. None of this was unexpected.
As the door behind them closed, Zhu Yi looked around. It was as if he had entered another world. There was another sky, a mountain, large fields, and even another sun.
Elder Chit walked fast towards the mountain. Upon arriving at it, they walked up. They did not fly, most likely because it was not respectful towards the sect master. Although they walked, it was not slow, and instead extremely fast.
They arrived near the top of a mountain and saw a courtyard. This sight reminded Zhou Fan of his residence at the Cosmic Sect.
Elder Chit stopped outside and bowed. "Elder Chit requests to meet the Sect Master."
After a brief moment of silence, they heard a voice. "Come in."
Elder Chit led Zhu Yi through a door and saw a man sitting on the ground cultivating. There were many spirit stones around him, all of them top-grade.
The Sect Master opened his eyes. "What's the matter?"
Elder Chit responded. "This child here was brought up from a lower world. We tested his talent, and the results were surprising. Unknown meridians, God-level sword talent, unknown affinity, space affinity, and fire affinity."
As Elder Chit spoke, the Sect Master eyes widened. By the end, the Sect Master waved his hand. "Take your leave Elder Chit. I will talk with this boy."
Elder Chit bowed and left.
The Sect Master looked at Zhu Yi. He immediately asked questions. "In what mortal world were you born in?"
"I don't know the name of it. Do you know a Chen Jie?" Zhu Yi asked.
The Sect Master nodded. "Chen Jie's world. I see. When you were young, did you ever receive something from the Cosmic Sect?"
Just as Zhu Yi was about to answer, Zhou Fan spoke. "Say yes."
"I did. Was that something important?"
The Sect Master nodded in realization. "So you rejected it."
"Say yes." Zhou Fan said again.
"Yes." Zhu Yi responded.
The Sect Master fell into thought for a moment. "How would you like to accept me as a teacher? Not a master, but a teacher."
Zhu Yi looked at Zhou Fan.
"I don't mind." Zhou Fan responded.
"I accept." Zhu Yi said.
The Sect Master smiled. "That's good. You see, our branch of the sword sect isn't doing so good compared to the others. In the wider universe, we are considered to be one of the weakest branches in terms of disciples. I am an inner world realm cultivator, like many of the other branch masters, but the disciples that come from here are always lacking. How would you feel about representing the sword sect in a competition?"
"I can do that." Zhu Yi responded. The Sect Master clearly had high hopes for him.
"That competition decides a lot for the branches of the sword sect. If you win, it will also benefit you. You will be able to join the main Sword Sect, which resides on the world tree."
Zhu Yi was surprised. The competition seemed extremely important.
"This competition is for anyone in the void traversing realm that has been a member of the Sword Sect for more than a hundred thousand years. It is considered a youth competition since even the oldest Void Traversing realm cultivator is only ten million years old. I will teach you to the best of my ability on the condition that you do your best in the competition."
Zhu Yi agreed without hesitation.
