Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

”We are here!” Smiling to himself as he landed in a small forest just outside the Flying Sword City, Xuan Hao carefully put Bai Ning down on the ground as he put his sword back into his interspatial ring.

During the last few days of travel, Xuan Hao had gotten to know Bai Ning better as there was nothing much to do other than talk and admire the surrounding environment passing by while traveling.

One of the things that Xuan Hao especially liked about the boy, was the fact that he was a curious child that asked a lot of questions, albeit being quite cautious in the beginning.

Luckily after spending a few days with him, Bai Ning seemed to have become comfortable with Xuan Hao and began asking him about all sorts of things, though it was mostly related to the Flying Sword Sect.

”Elder Xuan… I-is that the Flying Sword Sect!?” Walking in through the entrance of the city, Bai Ning exclaimed in a surprised tone as he looked around at all the people walking around the place, this was his first time seeing such a big city!

The city he had lived in all his life was after all not too big and was nowhere near the size of the Flying Sword City that the Flying Sword Sect was personally managing as a means to have a place for the disciple’s family to stay while they were training in the Flying Sword Sect or just have a place for the sect to have a place that they could relax in their free time.

The different shops and restaurants that sold food and snacks were among the most popular and prospers ones.

In the end, the Flying Sword City was made up of different shops mainly for the disciples and other members of the Flying Sword Sect.

Most of them were run by the different disciple’s families as well, so there could not be considered to anyone inside the Flying Sword City not related to the Flying Sword Sect.

Even the weapon shops and alchemy shops in the city, were mostly run by members of the Flying Sword Sect that had decided to retire from the Alchemy Hall or Blacksmithing Hall and wanted to live out a quiet life in the city while still helping the Flying Sword Sect.

”Haha, it’s not the Flying Sword Sect, this is the Flying Sword City that is located at the entrance of the sect. See the mountains over there in the distance? That is where the Flying Sword Sect is located!” Laughing a bit to himself after he saw the shocked expression on Bai Ning’s face, Xuan Hao quickly explained it to him while pointing towards a few mountain peaks visible in the distance towering far above any building inside the city.

A few majestic pavilions could also be faintly seen on the mountain peaks as a fog seemed to form and obscured the vision of anyone trying to see anything outside the thin outline of the majestic pavilions that was visible.

”Wow!” Bai Ning let out a surprised sound as he looked up and saw the mountains towering far into the sky in the distance.

This was his first time ever seeing mountains that tall!

The ones he had seen in the past could only be considered a small hilltop compared to the tall peaks of the Flying Sword Sect!

Thinking about this, Bai Ning suddenly began to feel excited upon thinking about the fact that he would be entering the Flying Sword Sect in the future.

”Let’s get going, it is best if we can get you registered before tomorrow!” Seeing Bai Ning lost in thought while looking at the mountain peaks visible in the distance towering over the different buildings inside the city, Xuan Hao smiled a bit to himself before moving in the direction of the Flying Sword Sects entrance.

Bai Ning heard what Xuan Hao said and immediately returned from his dazed state and looked away from the mountain peaks in the distance and quickly followed behind Xuan Hao as both of them soon arrived at the entrance to the Flying Sword Sect.

”Ah, Elder Xuan is back again! Might I ask who this child is?” Seeing Xuan Hao walking over from the distance, the elder in charge of guarding the entrance to the Flying Sword Sect immediately bowed his head before noticing Bai Ning closely following behind Xuan Hao.

The fact that Xuan Hao was not currently present in the Flying Sword Sect had become quite well known over the last few days, it was after all quite unusual for Xuan Hao to leave the sect, as he had spent most of his time just cultivating beforehand.

Xuan Hao did not really mind this and just nodded towards the elder as he introduced Bai Ning to him.

”This is Bai Ning, he is a talented child and I think he would be well suited for the Flying Sword Sect, so I decided to bring him back with me.”

”I see, so it’s someone Elder Xuan found!” Curiously looking over towards Bai Ning, the Elder smiled kindly towards him while Bai Ning nervously moved a bit closer to Xuan Hao. Clearly nervous upon facing the elder standing at the entrance.

”Well, we will have to get going and get him registered as a disciple before the day is over, so we will be taking our leave for now.” Seeing the nervous look on Bai Ning’s face, Xuan Hao quickly ended his conversation before entering the Flying Sword Sect together with Bai Ning.

The elder at the entrance also seemed to have noticed how nervous Bai Ning was and did not say anything as he quickly returned to guarding the entrance again. No longer paying any attention to Xuan Hao and Bai Ning as both of them walked past him.

This in turn eased Bai Ning up a bit as he soon opened his eyes wide while looking at the large and tall? buildings appearing in the distance as he was fully immersed in the pure and noble atmosphere that engulfed the Flying Sword Sect.

The feeling of entering the Flying Sword Sect could be said to be amazing for someone who had yet to cultivate as the qi was denser than the outside world and given the fact that the Flying Sword Sect was mostly filled with sword cultivators, the qi also carried a hint of sharpness similar to a sword.

Xuan Hao did not disturb Bai Ning as he stood there and felt the qi from the surrounding environment wash over him.

This could be considered the first time that Bai Ning had ever felt qi in his life and Xuan Hao did not doubt that if had a cultivation mantra to follow, he would surely be able to easily reach the Qi Condensation Realm at this moment.

”Ready now? Let’s go and get registered for now.” Watching as Bai Ning slowly opened his eyes with a light blush on his face, Xuan Hao smiled at him as he pointed over in the direction of a relatively small building located a few dozen meters away from the entrance of the Flying Sword Sect.

*Nod Nod

Bai Ning just nodded his head, an amazed expression stuck on his face as he kept looking around himself to observe the surroundings while glancing over in the direction where the main part of the sect was located.

At this point of the day, countless disciples and elders could be seen walking around as they made their way back to their own quarters to either relax for the rest of the day or cultivate. Among them, there were also a large part that headed towards the different profession halls in the Flying Sword Sect, like the Alchemy Hall or Blacksmithing Hall.

Xuan Hao did not really pay any attention to this as he made his way over towards the small building beside the entrance, while Bai Ning closely followed behind him as he glanced back towards the main area of the Flying Sword Sect from time to time.

The appearance of the Flying Sword Sect was hidden away from outside view with the help of a giant array formation that spanned the entire sect, the formation itself was also the reason why a fog seemed to cover up the entire sect when viewed from the outside.

Looking at the Flying Sword Sect from the inside, Bai Ning discovered that the entire sect was surround by mountains on all sides blocking the sect from the outside as the main part of the sect was located in a valley inside the circle of mountains.

The only way inside the sect outside of climbing the mountains, was the small entrance that Xuan Hao and Bai Ning had entered through.

Towards the centre of the sect, Bai Ning also managed to spot several tall mountains seemingly piercing into the heavens above as they easily towered far above the mountains surrounding the Flying Sword Sect.

The tall mountains at the centre could be considered the core of the Flying Sword Sect and was also the place that Xuan Hao along the other Core Elders were staying!

As Bai Ning was still lost in thought, he was soon woken up upon finding out that a door suddenly closed directly in front of him. Preventing him from looking any further.
