The vast and boundless Luzhou is divided into seventy-two Great Dao Domains, each governed by a first-rate power with a Celestial King overseeing it. Each Great Dao Domain is further divided into hundreds of thousands of Middle Dao Domains, each managed by a second-rate power with a True Immortal overseeing it. Below the Middle Dao Domains are countless Small Dao Domains, which are governed by third-rate powers.
The Heavenly Xuan Saber Sect is also a third-rate sect, naturally governing a Small Dao Domain.
The Small Dao Domain governed by the Heavenly Xuan Saber Sect is called the Heavenly Xuan Small Dao Domain, sharing the same name as the sect. While lacking originality, it has its own characteristics; at least outsiders know that the Heavenly Xuan Small Dao Domain is governed by the Heavenly Xuan Saber Sect.
The Heavenly Xuan Saber Sect's headquarters is located in the heart of the Heavenly Xuan Small Dao Domain, within the Million Mountains. The Million Mountains are blessed with the spiritual essence of heaven and earth, making it the most concentrated area of origin crystal veins and heaven and earth spiritual energy in the Heavenly Xuan Small Dao Domain, making it the most suitable place for the sect's headquarters.
From Xuanbei City to the Heavenly Xuan Saber Sect is a distance of hundreds of thousands of miles. Even with a Sky-Rending Flying Eagle, a demon beast skilled in long-distance flight, as a mount, Lu Chengfeng and Gu Huaiyu didn't return to the Heavenly Xuan Saber Sect until the next morning.
On the back of the Sky-Rending Flying Eagle, Gu Huaiyu sat cross-legged, her eyes closed tightly. Facing the rising sun, she circulated the Violet Qi Eastward Sutra, her body surface emitting a faint purple glow, her chest rising and falling rhythmically.
Lu Chengfeng sat cross-legged beside her, quietly acting as a protector for Gu Huaiyu. Just then, a wisp of violet energy emerged from the distant sun, instantly absorbed by Gu Huaiyu. After absorbing the violet energy, the purple glow on Gu Huaiyu's body not only didn't become brighter but instead dimmed compared to before.
Lu Chengfeng looked at Gu Huaiyu in surprise. At this moment, she was certain that Gu Huaiyu was a Violet Qi cultivator, one in a million. The Heavenly Xuan Saber Sect originally had two Violet Qi cultivators, one of whom was the Heavenly Xuan Saber Sect's Master, Heavenly Xuan Supreme, and the other…
Thinking of this, Lu Chengfeng's eyes couldn't help but dim slightly. That was her master, the Grief Severing Saber Master, who had been missing for a hundred years.
“Huff…”
Gu Huaiyu opened her eyes, exhaled a long breath of turbid air, and then smiled at Lu Chengfeng, saying, “Thank you, Sister Lu.”
Lu Chengfeng shook her head and said, “Sister Huaiyu, don't mention that you are a Violet Qi cultivator in front of outsiders in the future.”
“Why?” Gu Huaiyu asked in confusion.
“Violet Qi cultivators are one in a million. You are still weak now. If outsiders know, especially those with strong jealousy, they might make trouble for you and cause you to suffer in the future,” Lu Chengfeng explained.
“But… Violet Qi cultivators don't seem to compare to the purple light phenomenon I created yesterday, right?” Gu Huaiyu said.
“Uh…”
Lu Chengfeng was stunned for a moment, and then said, “Violet Qi cultivators are indeed not comparable to yesterday's purple light phenomenon, but when the purple light phenomenon is combined with a Violet Qi cultivator, you will become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of some people, who will wish they could get rid of you as soon as possible, so don't expose it if you can.”
Lu Chengfeng earnestly exhorted her.
“I understand,” Gu Huaiyu nodded.
“Also, don't say that our Heavenly Xuan Saber Sect is a small sect in front of others.” Recalling yesterday, Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but smile bitterly.
“Don't worry, Sister Lu, I am now a member of the Heavenly Xuan Saber Sect, how can I belittle my own sect?” Gu Huaiyu said with a smile.
Lu Chengfeng nodded and once again instructed Gu Huaiyu on some important matters, such as the long-standing bad relationship between their Grief Severing Peak and Blood Drinking Peak within the Heavenly Xuan Saber Sect, as well as which places within the sect can be freely roamed, which places require passage tokens, and which places are forbidden and must not be trespassed.
“Did you remember everything I just said?” Lu Chengfeng asked.
“Yes, yes, I remember everything,” Gu Huaiyu nodded.
“Really?” Lu Chengfeng was a little skeptical.
“Uh… actually, I didn't remember everything.” Gu Huaiyu scratched her head embarrassedly. She only remembered that the Blood Drinking Peak was the mortal enemy of their Grief Severing Peak. As for the others, she couldn't remember at all. After all, the people of Blood Drinking Peak had already left a bad impression on her, while she had seen the others but had no concept of them in her heart.
Lu Chengfeng glared at her helplessly and said, “It's normal if you didn't remember everything, you will gradually understand.”
And the Million Mountains had arrived.
The Sky-Rending Flying Eagle stopped on a mountain peak, Gu Huaiyu looked around in confusion. All around were towering mountain peaks, where were the buildings?
Just as Gu Huaiyu was about to ask, she saw Lu Chengfeng take out a jade token and softly say, “The sect has a great formation guarding it, only a special token can open the formation.”
As she spoke, Lu Chengfeng gently waved her jade hand, and a stream of energy entered the token. The token suddenly shone brightly, shooting out a stream of light. With a “bang,” the stream of light collided with the void, rippling with dots of light. Immediately afterward, a space teleportation gate appeared in front of them.
The Sky-Rending Flying Eagle carried the two women through the teleportation gate, and the teleportation gate closed instantly.
Inside the Heavenly Xuan Saber Sect, countless palaces, temples, pavilions, and towers were suspended in the sky. The concentration of heaven and earth spiritual energy was dozens of times higher than outside, to Gu Huaiyu, it was like ascending to a celestial realm.
“Sister Lu, what are they doing?”
Gu Huaiyu pointed to the streams of light flashing past around her, each stream of light representing a person.
“They are carrying out sect missions to earn sect contributions,” Lu Chengfeng said with a smile.
“Sect contributions? Is it equivalent to origin crystals?” Gu Huaiyu asked.
“That's right, but within the sect, the use of sect contributions is much greater than origin crystals. Whether it's cultivation techniques, secret techniques, pills, weapon refining materials, finished weapons, or even if you have enough sect contributions, you can even have the Sect Master personally guide your cultivation, which origin crystals cannot do.”
Lu Chengfeng said.
“I see,” Gu Huaiyu understood a little.
“Then Sister Lu, where are we going now?” Gu Huaiyu asked again.
“Let's go to the Deacon Hall first to apply for an identity jade token. Once you have an identity jade token, you will officially become a disciple of our Heavenly Xuan Saber Sect.”
“Really? I'm a little excited,” Gu Huaiyu said with a smile.
Lu Chengfeng also smiled.
Soon, they landed on a high-quality platform, the Deacon Hall was not far in front of them.
“Greetings, Senior Sister Lu.”
“Hello, Senior Sister Lu.”
…
Along the way, people passing by greeted Lu Chengfeng, but their expressions didn't show much closeness, and even revealed alienation.
Gu Huaiyu could naturally feel that although these people were calling her “Senior Sister Lu” on their lips, their hearts were not necessarily so.
She looked at Lu Chengfeng's face and found that Lu Chengfeng's expression was calm, but in the depths of her eyes, she still saw a trace of strangeness.
Gu Huaiyu couldn't help but reach out and hold Lu Chengfeng's hand, saying, “Sister Lu, let's work together to develop and strengthen Grief Severing Peak!”
Lu Chengfeng was stunned, feeling extremely moved in her heart. Strictly speaking, Gu Huaiyu was just an outsider, but she felt warmth from an outsider, in contrast, these so-called fellow disciples gave her endless coldness.
The matter of applying for an identity token for Gu Huaiyu went smoothly, without any other obstacles, which made Lu Chengfeng breathe a sigh of relief.
It was just that during the application process, the people in the Deacon Hall repeatedly asked Gu Huaiyu if she really wanted to join Grief Severing Peak, which made Lu Chengfeng want to draw her saber and chop them up. What? When joining other peaks, you are so quick and ask nothing, why do you have to ask this and that when it comes to my Grief Severing Peak, a bunch of snobs.
Lu Chengfeng was indignant in her heart, but she was helpless, because Grief Severing Peak's current situation was worrying.
After applying for the identity token, Gu Huaiyu officially became a member of the Heavenly Xuan Saber Sect's Grief Severing Peak.
Next, Lu Chengfeng took Gu Huaiyu towards Grief Severing Peak.
But just as they returned to Grief Severing Peak, three beautiful women walked towards them, their faces full of urgency.
“Eldest Senior Sister, it's not good, the Enforcement Hall just sent someone to say that they want you to go to the Enforcement Hall.”
