Chapter 3: Travel Records of Drunk Daoist(I)
If one were to look closely they would discover that this group was located inside a tree branch of a massive tree. The famous, Ancestral Purity Tree.
Perhaps if one is at a higher position, they could be able to see the tree clearly. But that would mean they had to be really high up in the sky. The Ancestral Purity Tree was massive almost covering half the Continent.
Anyone that would be confused as to why the group of white haired women gathered on the tree, would not know much about the Purity sect.
In the Abyssal world, legends about Immortals have always existed and yet difficult to find their presence. But the strongest factions in the world have Immortal Artifacts. Each was considered an important clan protecting treasure, but the Purity Sect was different. Their founder didn't forge any artefact for them, rather the Ancestral Purity Tree was considered their sect's heritage.
Instead of an Immortal Artifact, they have the Ancestral Purity Tree. It is also why they have managed to retain their position despite lacking an Ancestor level powerhouse. Even the weakest factions in the Abyssal world have at least more than one Ancestor level figure sitting in charge.
The benefits of the Ancestral Purity Tree were not that great to other factions and thus they ignore it. After all one has to be practicing the legacy of the Purity sect to gain twice the results with half the effort, while close to the Ancestral Purity Tree. But their sect's path is not something any other clan would be willing to accommodate, after all it had a lot of restrictions.
It was rumored that this tree was the one the founder of the Purity Sect sat under and gained enlightenment in the path of Light and Purification, giving is some of this qualities.
In the Purity continent, they can be said to have a huge influence as the tree covers half the Continent.

Lu Tian city...
Wang Lu's figure finally took the final steps on the stairs and arrived at the door to the balcony. He walked in, panting slightly. No one could be able to tell that he had just come from the cold snow outside.
He walked in and called out, "Mom! You are back! What good things have you brought me!" He asked with a smile.
The woman standing before him just smiled at this, before taking out some small book out of nowhere.
The moment it appeared, Wang Lu was beaming, and was not shocked as he had seen this scene more than once. He looked but failed to realize how that book apeared on her hand. That being the case, why not focus in the book than where it was taken out from.
He raised his hands to collect the book, then said his thanks after getting it, moved to the side and sat on the floor not caring about his image.
The woman was used to this and could only helplessly shake her head. "What a selfish brat! You actually forgot about your mother after getting your hands on the book! Let's see how I deal with you next time."
She might have been complaining, but deep down she was happy, and her figure didn't leave the balcony, rather she moved back to her original spot and continued to look into the distance.
Only Wang Lu was immersed in the book, and if one were to look at the cover, they would see the words, "Travel Records of Drunk Daoist!"
He had been reading this since he was able to, and it has become one of his favourite things. From the records, he was able to understand how this world was not ordinary early on. Even at five years old, he was very aware of the dangers that exist in this world. Since he has not seen other kids his age, he could only learn reading from the tutors hired by his parents. At the same time, came in contact with this 'Travel Records of Drunk Daoist' making his mother get him one every time she left.
His father had not been around for a while, but he didn't focus on this at all. Right now, he was immersed in the book.
This time the story being mentioned was of a young sword cultivator challenging people from all over, and how he had reached the Purple Mansion and defeated in less than three moves. The description in the book was very vivid, and he could almost imagine that he was present. The person that defeated him was said to be the disciple of Grandmaster Jin Mi, Wushuang. Even more details about Wushuang were written in the records. Apparently, he was born in an average family, but Grandmaster Jin Mi took him in as a disciple because of his special physique, 'Azure Yang body'.
He had read the records for a long time now and heard about numerous physiques, and even how each of them had some advantages, and the only downside was that people with special physiques couldn't practice any cultivation techniques at will, rather they could only follow the path that fit with the physique.
After checking part of the records, he didn't continue. He decided to leave most of it for later, after all he couldn't get the record daily. But even so, he had read about physiques in most of the records and came to an understanding by now, thus he murmured softly, "It turns out this with physiques are prisoners in their own blessings!"
He didn't expect Qin Zhu to hear it and asked, " Brat what are you mumbling about?"
"I'm just wondering why these people with special physiques are all arrogant and incapable of seeing the fact that they are limited by the physiques." He just spoke casually as he hid the records in his own clothes.
Seeing her son's antiques she couldn't help but burst out into soft laughter. No matter how many times she saw this, it was always funny in her eyes.
"What are you doing? No one will steal that record from you!" She couldn't help but scolded him lightly. But that didn't change his actions.
She could only change the topic, "Why do you think those with physique are limited because they can't practice other techniques?"
"From the records, I realized that everyone with special physiques had weird techniques and even martial arts that they practiced, but when defeated they always had some reason for this, such as claiming they had yet to get permission to visit the special environment for cultivating their special physiques. Clearly, they put a lot energy into their physiques and ignore other aspects." There was something he didn't say, that was the factions behind this physiques had a role on the owners of the physiques choice.
But he still continued with something else, "The strongest people mentioned in the records taking discples or even accomplishing something great have many means and none of them seemed to have a special physique."
She pondered for moment and soon seemed to have come to the same conclusion. What Wang Lu didn't realize was that the look in her eyes changed and she seemed to remember the conversation with the figure in the shadows before sneering. "I should be thankful that I had a child! Or else I would have failed to realize such a simple fact. Special physiques are actually not about the faction's face rather than the practitioner's cultivation. Even if one has a strong physique so what? Don't they just end up being controlled by the cultivation environment. I think my situation is just fine, getting the elders to help me would be no different from putting shackles on my hands again!" She thought silently.
At the moment, Wang Lu didn't know what his mother was thinking, he was already starting to prepare himself to descend downstairs.
How could he read the whole record once, it came out almost once a month. Since that was that case, he would read only a small part and continue later.
