Chapter 791: Chapter 8: Watch the Sword

"Can I understand it this way, the method to break through Four Lives in the Divine Land is mastered by the Celestial Destiny Sect?" Li Xin asked.

"No, the Celestial Destiny Sect doesn’t control the method to break through. Each sect has its own method of Core Formation. You need to have the identity of a Celestial Destiny Sect disciple to leave the Divine Land. It’s said that after leaving, the power of the Golden Core will be fully displayed. If you haven’t received celestial permission, you’ll die upon leaving the Divine Land, no matter how impressive your powers are outside, you’ll only be able to wield Four Lives’ power within the Divine Land," Zhang Yuncai said proudly.

Four Lives?

There’s such a thing...

Li Xin smiled, "Old brother, then how can one become a disciple of the Celestial Destiny Sect?"

"The disciples of the Celestial Destiny Sect are selected from all the major sects. I don’t know the specifics, it’s said that becoming a disciple of the Celestial Destiny Sect is both an identity and a responsibility, tasked with guarding the Divine Land’s safety," Zhang Yuncai suddenly lowered his voice, "I’ve heard that the casualties in the Celestial Destiny Sect are significant, cough, cough, it’s all just hearsay, I’ve digressed, little brother, what grade are you?"

"What grade?"

"Just your life stage."

"Third Grade," Li Xin did not hide it, there was no need.

"Tsk-tsk, quite impressive, but it’s also a pity. To have developed your Spiritual Ability to this level, the foundation wasn’t solidly built. In the Divine Land, the newly Awakened are favored for their strong potential and adaptability, with sect support, progressing to Fourth Grade is rapid," Zhang Yuncai said.

Li Xin just listened to these things, it would be great if it were really that easy.

Listening to Zhang Yuncai rambling, it’s clear this old brother hasn’t had such a candid chat with someone for a long time. Divine Land has many Awakened, the various sects gather the elites among them, and most reach the Four Lives status before fiercely competing in Spiritual Ability combat. A portion of them are given the identity of the Celestial Destiny Sect, gaining the identity but still remaining part of their own sect, not affecting this. The Celestial Destiny Sect feels more like a position, being a disciple allows further participation in some tasks or hidden secrets of the Divine Land.

Divine Land, Peak Pool, Golden Sea?

Core Formation... Nine-character True Words, wonder if there’s any connection between the two.

Li Xin thought of Nalan Potter and Ji Mingyue, these two are disciples of Peak Pool, Peak Pool has always maintained a close connection with Li Long. Old Fang is a Life Master, yet he has a Talisman to return to the Divine Land, chances are Old Fang has some ties with the Divine Land.

...

Lang Beichen’s attitude towards him was strange. Thinking back, Lang Beichen was overly attentive and patient. If he were the Golden Scale Guard seeing an outsider, why just lightly question and leave it at that?

Playing the long game? Catching Old Fang?

From his perception, the other party didn’t show great hostility. A Great Angel in the Life Master path doesn’t need his concern.

The noodles were long finished, Zhang Yuncai kept him chatting for a long time, life seems pressure-free but certainly dull, he also has a Third Grade Spiritual Ability level, yet can only be a noodle stall owner, this kind of life is likely quite uncomfortable.

"Little brother, don’t feel pressured, blending in here is normal, if Martial Heart Sect feels right, stay; if not, come to my place, my noodle stall has a place for you!" Zhang Yuncai patted Li Xin’s shoulder and said.

"Thanks, old brother, this knowledge has been very helpful to me, I’ll go report to Martial Heart Sect now."

Old Zhang reluctantly waved goodbye to Li Xin, stuffing two pancakes as he left, seemingly eager for Li Xin to join him in selling noodles.

With two warm pancakes in his hands, Li Xin walked for a long time before finally reaching Martial Heart Sect.

Divine Land has four main cities directly managed by City Lords appointed by the State Lord, with strict rules, and is the most prosperous. In addition, there are one hundred and eight paths surrounding the four main cities, each equivalent to a sub-city but managed by some major families or affiliated major sects in the Divine Land, who only need to pay taxes regularly, below them are several towns and villages.

The mountain gates of major sects typically aren’t in the city but rather in the countryside where Spiritual Energy is more abundant on an Immortal Mountain, although they have portals in the city.

Leaving the city, Li Xin walked a while longer and finally arrived at Martial Heart Sect’s location at Cloud Mist Mountain on Purple Mist Path in Cyan Dragon City.

Looking at the towering Cloud Mist Mountain, breathing in the fresh air, Li Xin stretched his back and stepped uphill, it was quite tranquil.

The sect entrance was a plain, black, varnished wooden door, with "Martial Heart Sect" written in Hera Language on the sign, exuding power, two red lanterns hung beside the door, adorned with two intertwined bronze ancient swords as the door ring, the door was ajar.

Li Xin pushed the door open and called out a few times, but no one answered, so he walked in.

Past the main door, there was a spacious courtyard paved with bluestone, an ancient incense burner placed at the center, surrounded by corridors, training sounds echoed, likely from inside, sounding like quite a few people.

Li Xin did not wander, choosing to wait for a while in the yard while observing the surroundings.

Suddenly, a whoosh sounded overhead, he tilted his head, and a stone grazed past his ear, "Kid, what are you doing? Daring to trespass into Martial Heart Sect!"

A figure suddenly appeared before him, a young man wearing white hemp clothes, carrying a long sword, stared sharply at Li Xin.

"My name is Li Xin, I’m here to report to Martial Heart Sect," Li Xin said, showing the badge given by the Golden Scale Guard.

Upon hearing this, the young man’s eyes widened, "Ah, you’re the jerk who tricked my sister out of the Guiyuan Pill, take this sword!"

With that, he drew his sword and chopped towards Li Xin, Li Xin ducked his head, a Sword Qi swept overhead, snipping off a lock of hair, almost shaved him, Li Xin started running, and the young man chased while slashing, one running, one chasing.

"Stop running!"

"Stop slashing, and I won’t run!"

"How do you know I want to slash you if you just keep running, stand still!"

Li Xin sighed, "Is Martial Heart Sect a reputable sect, why slash as soon as you see someone."

"Fine, I won’t slash you!"

"Put the sword down and I won’t run."

"Fang Chi, what are you doing!" A sharp shout, a figure flashed, Fang Chi was picked up.

Seeing Fang Qingning arrive, Fang Chi immediately turned meek, "Sister, ugh, let go, I’m just intimidating him, didn’t intend to really hurt him, this kid looks like a waste, if I really wanted to hurt him, how could he still be running, I was just venting."

"How many times have I told you, the motto of our Martial Heart Sect is to save lives and heal injuries; Elixirs may be dead, but people are alive!" Fang Qingning said.

"A person may die but eighteen years later is a brave soul again, but an elixir lost is truly gone," Fang Chi murmured under his breath.

Fang Qingning ignored Fang Chi, looked at Li Xin, who had recovered, took his badge for a look, then handed it back to Li Xin, "Are your injuries fully healed?"

Li Xin looked at Fang Qingning, slightly stunned, she turned out to be the Sect Master of Martial Heart Sect, expecting an elder, he didn’t anticipate someone about the same age as himself.
