In the course of our journey, I asked uncle many questions, such as whether or not he's married, to which he replied no, or where he got the leaf, which he said he obtained from a secret realm. And other silly question,Xi Hong also occasionally chimed in.
As we continued our talking, we lost track of our time, and before we knew it, we finally arrived at the sect.
Before coming here, I had read about the Heaven Might Sect. It said that the Heaven Might Sect is the best sect to nurture talented disciples outside the holy land, and it's no wonder it's called the best sect, even the outer appearance is so beautiful.
Wow, it's really like a mythical place from the legends, with that fog and all that light
If I have to describe it, there are literally three mountains merged together, with the biggest one in the middle. There are also nine floating islands surrounding the middle mountain with very different properties. It's was very obvious; it's the cultivation world after all
I also kind of want that place for myself.
The building structure across the mountain is also so well-defined that it can be called exquisite, with a big building on the top level of the mountain and a spatial crack big enough you can see it with your bare eyes in the middle level of the mountain. Also, there are thirty-two big pillars surrounding that spatial crack, its very unique pattern was weird, and I am very curious about it, so I ask my uncle:
"Uncle Lan, what do those pillars do?"
"You want to know?" Uncle smiled, then continued, "Well, it's not really a secret, but I will tell it for my cute niece; the simple way to say it is a seal, that pillar is what prevents it from integrating with this world."
That explains the elaborate pattern sculpted there.
"Is that a secret realm?"
"No, that's a mini realm, different from a secret realm, which has a different set of laws altogether. A mini realm was not. And it's used for sect competition for all surrounding sects."
My gaze dropped much lower, when I saw the lower level of the mountain, I saw many buildings dedicated to disciples. There's a bunch of people in there.
It's a really big sect huh, it even has multiple arenas, a training ground, and a marketplace there.
On the right mountain though, I saw a very big pagoda there with a bunch of buildings surrounding it.
What's that? It's so big it's even pierced the sky just like a skyscraper in my last life
Seeing me looking at the pagoda, my uncle said proudly, "That pagoda is the grand library of the Heaven Might. It stores all different kinds of techniques, formations, and alchemy manuals regardless of properties. It's amazing, right?"
"Yeah, it's very amazing. Then can I go there, uncle?"
"Of course, you can go. You can exchange your contribution points to get a manual there, but just this one time. I will give you one-time access to choose one manual from there. Xi Hong, you can get one too," said uncle with a smile.
"Yes, thank you, Uncle Lan."
"Thank you, Master Lan."

So we landed where the pagoda building was, uncle then took out a token and attached it to it's door, letting me and Xi Hong going inside while he guarded the entrance.
"Be careful. You can only go from level 1 to level 3. More than that, your body will be crushed by the pressure."
"Thanks for your reminder, uncle/master."
The inside of the pagoda was very spacious, with many bookshelves lined up surrounding it, there is also a spiral stair in the middle of the library that I couldn't see the end of. From here xi hong and I split up
From the cultivation manga that I know, some powerful masters like to secretly smuggle their techniques on the lower floor.
Knowing that high-level techniques are often smuggled in the lower level based on the cultivation manga I read, I decided to search on level one. It often discovered in the corner, and my guess was right.
There were many old books in the container at the corner. Its appearance was so dirty with dust, just like disposable goods, or maybe it is a disposable book, but I keep insisting that this was a treasure, so I looked through all of them many of them are either has a considerable damage in it or incomplete.
Fortunately found two book with neutral attributes and one book with ice attributes; the others are for other attributes. And I Can't use other attributes Right now because of my realm
I look at the three book I found:
Void Meditation Technique: A meditation technique that cultivates emptiness and stillness within the mind, granting clarity of thought and resistance to mental manipulation.
Soul Severance Technique: A soul cultivation technique that involves the practitioner splitting their consciousness into multiple facets, dividing the mind.
Frozen Heart Palm: A palm technique that freezes the opponent's heart with a touch, causing numbness and sluggishness in movements, rendering them vulnerable to subsequent attacks.
Within the three manual I have in my hand, I like the latter the most because it will benefit me in a long battle against any opponent. But the matter of exhaustion is also a considerable disadvantage; this technique drains the most stamina.
On the other hand, void meditation technique has no noticeable disadvantage; it is the safest technique for me to avoid any mental attack. Whereas the soul severance technique has the most use for me right now, because I want to be able to do multitask if I want to improve in the future. However, to master it I need profound mental discipline and the ability to seamlessly coordinate each fragment of the divided consciousness.
After careful consideration, I chose the soul severance technique because it will benefit me in the long term.
When I got back to the entrance, I saw Xi Hong and uncle waiting for me.
It seems I took a considerable time there.
I saw a book in Xi Hong's hand with a dragon pattern and a tattered cover.
It seems Xi Hong also picked a good book huh.
"Are you done picking a manual?Come here, let me see it."
I hesitated a little, deciding whether or not he can take a look at it, then i I sighed and gave him the book.
He's my uncle anyway,he will not snatch my thing, there's no way he will be so petty, right?
"Here, uncle."
My uncle frowned upon seeing the book content.
"Yueyin, are you sure you want this?"
"Why, what's the matter?"
"It's just, it will be very painful, you know, and there's no one in the entire world who has mastered it."
Knowing that no one has ever mastered it, it must be a very profound technique, and it's usually OP technique, this is a jackpot!
"Yes, I want it. I will be the one who masters it!"
"Really? It will be really, really hurt, you know? it's because it related to soul" my uncle asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, uncle. I am used to pain," I declared proudly.
After all, there's no greater pain than a hit with that long stick.
Seemingly unable to change my mind, my uncle sighed helplessly.
"Then I can't help it. If you can't bear it, come to uncle, okay?"
"Don't worry, uncle. This is easy."
After I said that,uncle then looked at Xi Hong's book content.
"This is a very good book for your attribute, there's also few people who have mastered it. Make sure you train it every day; it may save your life."uncle said smiling
"Thank you for your guidance, master."
"All right then, let's go to the great hall," my uncle said softly.
"Yes, uncle/master."
we flew again to the middle of the mountain, I saw the left mountain is left barren with a big door in the middle acting as an entrance, it's guarded by many people, rendering someone from approaching it.
"Uncle, why is that mountain so heavily guarded?"
"Oh, that's a prison for the sect disciples who break the law of absolute and the disciples who indulge themselves to train demonic cultivation techniques and become fiendish cultivators."
I know about demonic techniques and fiendish cultivators, but what is the law of absolute?
When I looked at Xi Hong, she seemed puzzled too, so I decided to ask.
"Uncle, what is the law of absolute?"
"It's the law that must not be broken as a righteous cultivator. It consists of three laws:
You must not harm a mortal being without reason.
You must be just in your judgment and must have a reason to uphold it.
You must not collide with a demonkind.
If any of those three are violated, they must be sent to this prison and be sealed for their weight of crime."
I see, Then it's simple. I just need to be just; maybe I will also get many contribution points that way.
"Thanks for your explanation, uncle," I said with courtesy.
"It's alright. I also believe my niece is a cute and righteous person, of course, Xi Hong too. You must not let Yueyin fall to the wrong path, okay?"my uncle said jokingly.
"I will not disappoint your expectations, master," Xi Hong bowed.
we arrived at our destination, then my uncle asked for our blood to be dropped at an altar full of blood. After that, my uncle gave a token with our name imprinted on it.
"Congratulations, right now, you are officially an inner disciple of the Heaven Mighty Sect."
I am surprised it was so easy. Is this what it feels like to enter a company through a backdoor?
"Come on, I will escort you to the girls' dorm."
Girls' dorm! That means I will get to know many girls there. Is my love life finally begin?.
"Lets go right away uncle,i cant wait to know them"my eyes sparkled
"Hahaha, okay then, let's go right away," my uncle laughed at my excitement while xi hong sighed
After that we immediately flew to the girls' dorm.
