In the inner region of Galaxy Sect, the Primordial Energy is richer compared to the outer periphery. Cultivating on the Inner Island greatly exceeds the efficiency than on the Outer Island.
Zhao Letian hadn't visited the inner region in the past two months because his cultivation had reached the pinnacle of the True Martial First Realm. He didn't need to accumulate Primordial Energy anymore but was waiting for the right opportunity to break through to the True Martial Second Realm. Afterward, he spent another month practicing Swordsmanship, which similarly didn't require overly rich Primordial Energy.
But from now on, he, Liu Wei, and others like the Galaxy Five Tigers would begin their dedicated cultivation and naturally needed to find a cultivation spot where the Primordial Energy was richer.
The crowd quickly packed up and flew with their Qi Manipulation Flight towards the inner region.
Gliding through the clouds high in the sky and overlooking the tiny islands below and the vast expanse of Galaxy Lake, Zhao Letian and his companions couldn't help feeling exhilarated. This is the life a Martial Artist should have—soaring above the nine heavens, taking in the vastness of rivers and mountains.
Before long, they arrived at a special island within the inner region. No disciples were allowed to monopolize this island; it was expressly for handling various Inner Sect affairs by Star Sect. Zhao Letian and his group were to receive their Inner Sect Disciple Identity Tokens on this island.
"Senior, we've come to collect the Inner Sect Tokens." Zhao Letian led everyone to a hall on the island and spoke to an elder seated behind a table. That elder's cultivation was unfathomable, probably also at the level of a High-level True Martial. Zhao Letian bowed respectfully, demonstrating considerable deference.
"Eh? You've reached the True Martial Second Realm? Why didn't you come to claim your Identity Token earlier?" The elder swept a glance over the crowd, perceiving the cultivation level of Zhao Letian and the others immediately, and couldn't help asking out of curiosity.
Many Outer Sect Disciples would rush to claim their Identity Tokens as soon as they broke through to the Martial Realm, but Zhao Letian didn't come to collect his Identity Token even after reaching the True Martial Second Realm, which was quite unusual.
"Replying to Senior, I was delayed due to some matters before. This shouldn't affect my collection of the Inner Sect Token, should it?" Zhao Letian replied.
"That won't be an issue. I'm just a bit curious. Here are your tokens. No need to refine them; just drip in your Essence Blood to take ownership. Also, state your names so I can register them." The elder said as he took out seven Bronze Tokens and handed them out to Zhao Letian and the others.
Zhao Letian received the token, reported his name, and did as the elder instructed. He cut his finger and dripped a drop of Essence Blood into the token, claiming ownership on the spot.
"This token is truly amazing." After completing the blood recognition, Zhao Letian played with the token in his hand. On the back, four big characters reading "Inner Sect Disciple" were inscribed with vigorous and powerful strokes. The front, however, was very smooth, resembling a bronze mirror, showing Zhao Letian's name and information about his cultivation status.
"The Inner Sect Token, besides being used to identify your identities, also has a communication function. Any important matters within the sect will be directly published onto your tokens. Moreover, you can use these tokens to contact other disciples within the sect, or even directly communicate with the sect's upper echelons," the elder explained.
"Thank you, Senior. I understand," Zhao Letian said as he stored his token and expressed his gratitude.
"After collecting the tokens, you must find an island to settle down and commence your cultivation within the inner region. The rules are the same as in the Outer Sect. To cultivate on a better island, you must strive for it through strength. The sect will not arrange it for you. However, remember, you may vie for islands, but you must not readily resort to injuring others. After all, the Inner Sect is not like the Outer Sect—the sect values every Inner Sect Disciple highly. If you break the sect rules, nobody can save you," the elder warned.
"Senior, rest assured, I naturally will not violate the sect rules. However, this is our first time in the inner region, and we know nothing about the islands here. May I ask Senior to let us take a look at the map of the island distribution within the inner region?" Zhao Letian asked with a calm smile.
"Sure, here's the map. Take a look for yourselves," the elder nodded and produced a simple Beast Skin Scroll.
Zhao Letian and the others spread out the scroll to see it marked in detail with the specific distribution of all islands within Galaxy Sect, including the boundaries of the outer periphery, inner region, and core area.
After briefly scanning the scroll, Zhao Letian memorized the location of some key islands and returned the scroll to the elder. He then led Liu Wei and the Galaxy Five Tigers to leave.
"Master, where shall we go? Should we find a public island to cultivate with others, or should we seize an island for ourselves?" Big Tiger inquired as they flew in the air.
"Naturally, we'll seize an island for ourselves," Zhao Letian replied with a slight curve of his mouth, already having decided which island he wanted.
"Heh heh, indeed. With the Master's strength, plus Weiwei and us, we can definitely seize an island," Big Tiger grinned and nodded in agreement.
Then, under Zhao Letian's lead, the group headed straight for an island deep within the inner region. For a better reading experience, visit *).
The closer they approached the center of Galaxy Lake, the fewer the islands, and the richer the Primordial Energy. Near the fringe of the core area, every Inner Island was occupied solely by powerful True Martial Realm experts.
"Master, aren't we flying too far? There are only a few islands left below. Those islands ahead are probably occupied by the top talents of the Inner Sect. Are you sure you want to directly seize their islands?" After flying for quite a while without Zhao Letian showing any sign of stopping, Big Tiger started to feel apprehensive.
With their group's strength, seizing any Inner Island for cultivation was indeed more than possible, but directly vying for an island held by the top ten talents of the Inner Sect would be challenging.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Zhao Letian said with an unconcerned smile.
Seeing Zhao Letian's confident demeanor, Big Tiger and the others refrained from saying more and continued following him deeper.
After flying for the time it would take to drink a cup of tea, a lush small island appeared ahead—it had mountains, water, waterfalls, and was exquisitely picturesque. The Primordial Energy was incredibly rich.
"Here, this is the place. Let's go down," Zhao Letian said, a flash of brilliance in his eyes as he maneuvered his flying sword to dive down.
"This island is occupied by the tenth talent of the Inner Sect. It should be manageable. Let's go down," Big Tiger recalled from the map they had seen before and followed Zhao Letian's lead in diving down.
"Who goes there? Who dares trespass on this young master's island, seeking death?"
Before Zhao Letian and the others even touched the ground, a black-robed youth flew out from the small island below, riding a Spiritual Artifact and coldly shouted down at them.
