Chapter 329: Chapter 211: Entry Level
“Your master was born in ‘Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion,’ and after accepting you as an entry-level disciple, you are considered a disciple of both the Senluo Sect and the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion. You must understand this,” Elder Jian said as he led Li Yuanba into the inner chambers of the cave dwelling.
This was the first time Li Yuanba heard that a person could hold discipleships in two different sects, but from Elder Jian’s words, it seemed that the sect was aware of this as well.
“Where is Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion?” He could not recall such a force. Knowing that he dwelled within two major sects, it was surprising he had never heard of the existence of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.
“Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion is not located on the Beishu Continent. If you have the opportunity to reach the Nascent Soul Stage, perhaps you can return to visit Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion!” Elder Jian said, reminiscing in his eyes.
Back when Elder Jian was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he encountered a catastrophic storm at sea. He was sucked into a storm vortex and when he awoke, he found himself on the Beishu Continent, saved by an elder of the Senluo Sect, and became his disciple.
Returning to Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion was impossible. Without the power of a Nascent Soul, crossing seas far more dangerous than Beihai was akin to seeking death.
He was fortunate to encounter a spatial vortex, which safely brought him to Beishu.
Since then, he had been a cultivator of the Senluo Sect. With his master’s help, he eventually became a Golden Core Cultivator and took charge of Ten Thousand Sword Peak.
Though Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion is not considered part of the Righteous Path, it is not associated with Devil Cultivators. Therefore, Elder Jian, born from Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, had little fondness for Devil Cultivators.
It was indeed ironic, a Golden Core Elder from the Demon Sect had little love for Devil Cultivators. But that was the truth, and Elder Jian became one of the most unique existences in the Senluo Sect.
Fortunately, Elder Jian’s master had successfully advanced to Nascent Soul, giving him a strong backing in the sect, ensuring that despite his pride, no cultivator dared target him.
Moreover, with Elder Jian’s formidable strength, now a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, with a sword in hand, he had almost no rivals except for those in the Nascent Soul Stage.
He had also made significant contributions to the Senluo Sect’s unification of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains. Both his strength and achievements left the other elders speechless.
For such a Golden Core cultivator, finding a suitable disciple within the Demon Sect was extremely difficult.
Most cultivators who join the Demon Sect choose to practice demonic cultivation techniques. Even those who do not, influenced by their surroundings, would augment their cultivation speed by practicing demonic techniques.
And for Loose Cultivators joining through other means, those with established cultivation methods, it was nearly impossible to find one who mastered Sword Intent.
That was why, upon seeing Li Yuanba, after a brief investigation, Elder Jian immediately issued an assessment task. Finding a disciple was tough indeed.
Entering the inner chamber, Li Yuanba saw a painting on the wall depicting a mountain peak enveloped in mist, with a towering pavilion at its summit marked ‘Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.’
He could faintly see figures moving within the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, and the mountain’s mist was flowing as well, making the painting seem alive.
He soon realized that it was an artifact; its aura concealed, and he had not noticed it at first.
“Yuan Ba, come and bow to Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion!” Elder Jian stepped forward and solemnly performed a grand ceremony before the Sword Intent Chongxiao Scroll, then instructed Li Yuanba to do the same.
Li Yuanba knelt in front of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Scroll and respectfully performed the triple kowtow ritual of entry.
He then turned and deeply bowed to Elder Jian, who smiled warmly at him.
Li Yuanba stood up straight, his hands clasped as he stood beside Elder Jian.
“Ancestors above, on this day I take Li Yuanba as a disciple of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion. I will ensure that he adheres to the rules of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, and I hope the ancestors bear witness!” Elder Jian declared to the Sword Intent Chongxiao Scroll, and after finishing, he turned to Li Yuanba with a smile, “Now, from this day forward, you are a disciple of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion!”
In his words, Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion seemed even more significant than the Senluo Sect.
“From now on, you can use ‘Ten Directions Sword Cultivation Technique’ as a supplementary cultivation technique, but you will switch to mastering ‘Sky Ascending Technique’!” Elder Jian said more affectionately to Li Yuanba after he had bowed to the Sword Intent Chongxiao Scroll.
“I have been cultivating the ‘Ten Directions Sword Cultivation Technique’ for some time now, and I have a complete version of it, all the way to the Nascent Soul Stage!” Li Yuanba thought Elder Jian might not be aware that he had the complete Ten Directions Sword Cultivation Technique and hurriedly explained.
Changing cultivation techniques had significant implications on a cultivator’s journey.
Li Yuanba had already planned his cultivation path. His clone needed to advance quickly to assist his original body.
“I’m not asking you to give up the Ten Directions Sword Cultivation Technique. As a disciple of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, you must primarily practice the Sky Ascending Technique. Besides, how can the Ten Directions Sword Cultivation Technique compare to the Sky Ascending Technique!” Elder Jian explained with a look of disdain.
Seeing Elder Jian’s attitude, Li Yuanba did not persist, realizing it was pointless. Since his master had said so, changing his main cultivation technique was an inevitability.
Fortunately, he was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, so it was comparatively easy to switch techniques.
“Yes, Disciple will follow Master’s instructions!” he bowed deeply.
“It won’t be a loss for you. If it weren’t for my status as a True Inheritor of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, I wouldn’t possess the complete set of Sky Ascending Technique. This technique is far more powerful than most in the Beishu Continent!” Elder Jian chuckled.
