Chapter 50: The Third Charat Day [2] (1/2)
Acquiring some divine or luminous artifacts was really extremely difficult and the Ozoros ruins was as difficult as any. For thousands of years, emperor Qing Yuan had been trying to get hold of the artifact inside Ozoros but had been unsuccessful. Every thousand years, sects would send chosen premiers to the emperor for this purpose.
To be part of the chosen meant the sect would gain immeasurable recognition throughout the world and the cultivators would be important personalities if they could survive.
Oh, how he wished he could provide a disciple that would represent the flying stars sect in front of the emperor. His name as a master would forever be legendary. But, their sect was one of the smallest, how could they compare to the top sects?
Zhou Lin rested his eyes on Ju Feng.
Could he be the difference he had been waiting for?
”Today, we have a new disciple in our midst, a new disciple from the outer section. I know you've already met him but i want to formally bring him to your awareness again as tradition stated. Ju Feng, come forward.”
”Yes, master.”
Ju Feng voiced from the back as he hurried to the front.
After having Ju Feng beside him at the front, he continued.
”You are all once a new disciple and you know what it takes. As a new disciple, we want to make sure that Ju Feng here, feels welcome and comfortable to be with us. We all want to do everything we can to help him and guide him. Every member of our faction is valuable and precious. I know you all have your eyes set on the upcoming event but we want to train and prepare every member of our faction, together. We want to show everybody that our Lightning reach can be a main anchor of the sect and we can only do that together. Especially, as we want our faction to present representative to the sovereign domain.”
He flicked his hand in the air and it stirred a bit of lightning streaks.
”Ju Feng, here, underwent his tribulations last night. Same day he was accepted. I don't know what that means, but I hope it's something for the better. He will be with Yan Zhihao but all of you have the same responsibilities.”
He turned to Ju Feng with a mild smile on his face.
”Ju Feng, watch, listen, learn and practice. Don't discard their words, you could always learn from them. As a cultivator you wouldn't go wrong on this.”
He whispered to his assistant, Su Ming, a golden core cultivator who had mild temper but her eyes were like lightning hawks, to take over the martial art session before turning to Ju Feng.
”Ju Feng, Come with me.”
”Yes, master.”
He quickly fall behind his master.
Master Zhou Lin took Ju Feng to the open area near his hill and sat down.
”Ju Feng, I tell you this, in this world of cultivation, its all about power. The artifacts, items, techniques and your level of cultivation determine who you are and where you are in this world. Wisdom makes you discern what is and what is not”
His gaze fell and he shook his dejectedly. As a master, he knew a cultivator may believe in having the higher cultivation level than the opponent, but if the opponent had more powerful artifacts or items, the cultivator could be dead. Likewise, if the cultivator had powerful artifacts and items, but didn't have a high enough cultivation level to use them against an opponent who had higher cultivation level, the cultivator might easily die too.
A cultivator might even have powerful artifacts, items and a very good cultivation level but if the opponent had a higher cultivation level and higher technique, the cultivator might also die easily. A cultivator must never think having a divine weapon as a premier warranted a confrontation with a nascent soul. The cultivator would simply die.
”We have lost many fine cultivators who fell into the illusion they could achieve what wisely couldn't be done.”
”Master.. .”
