Chapter 1944 - Arriving at the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion (2/2)

Saint cultivators could live for up to a thousand years on the Master Teacher Continent, but a hundred years was the lie cultivators only had a lifespan of slightly more than a hundred years here

As for Pseudo Immortals like Elder Lu Yun, his lifespan was also only three hundred years

That ht be the reason that so many of them desired to descend to the Master Teacher Continent despite the severe dae that they would sustain as a result

Over the next few days, other than focusing on his own cultivation, Zhang Xuan also spent soli As for Elder Yi, due to his advanced age and huge deficiencies that he had suffered over the years, he needed some time to recuperate Thus, it was not suitable for hi

Just like that, ten days passed in a flash

As thesun rose froate towering in front of them

It was almost ten thousand meters tall and several thousand ate was concealed a Xuan of the Southern Gate of Heaven <sup>1</sup>

At the very center of the gate was ainto the earth

Even before co close, they could already feel an incredible Sword Intent coth to shatter even space itself, and the pressure it exerted could easily render any cultivator i Xuan was astonished

As expected of one of the Six Sects of the Azure There was just no way this ate and sword could have been created on the Master Teacher Continent

A formidable Sword Intent that was even more powerful than any of the Sword Quintessence he had practiced previously pulsated from the massive sword If he were tothis Sword Intent, even he would be defeated easily

It see powers!

Out of curiosity, Zhang Xuan activated his Eye of Insight and took a closer look at the uely see an illusory sword hidden in the depths of the massive concrete sword

That was probably the physical athered within the massive concrete sword

To his surprise, the conceptualization behind the Sword Intent was rather similar to the Heaven’s Path Sword Art, but it was clearly soher level It felt profound and transcendental even by Zhang Xuan’s standards

Just by looking and perceiving it, Zhang Xuan was able to gain a deeper understanding of the crux of swordsmanshi+p

While it was impossible for hilance, due to the si as he had sufficient time, he would be able to infuse this Sword Intent into his Heaven’s Path Sword Art, thus raising his swordsmanshi+p to another level

“The Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion is just right ahead This sas left behind by our founder It harnesses his understanding of swordsmanshi+p and the Sword Intent he comprehended Even to this day, his accoenerations of sword practitioners!” Elder Lu Yun said as he looked at the ate and sith admiration in his eyes

Dan Xiaotian’s body also stiffened a little as his eyes reddened

Even in the days when he was practicing his swordsmanshi+p alone, fro the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion one day to practice the best swordsmanshi+p in the world This was a dream come true for him

There was still soate, so Elder Lu Yun turned to Dan Xiaotian, Zhang Xuan, and the others and said, “Before we enter the sect, I would first like to inform you of the rules of our sect

“The disciples of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion can mainly be divided into four tiers, namely menial disciples, outer disciples, inner disciples, and core disciples While inner disciples are already highly respected within the sect, the standing of the core disciples exceeds that!”

“Core disciples?” Dan Xiaotian’s eyes gloith anticipation

“That’s right To be honest, there isn’t much you have to do as an inner disciple of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion You can freely allocate your ti If you require any resources to study, you can browse through the books in the inner disciples’ library Otherwise, you can also approach any of your seniors or elders and request their help Of course, most of the resources don’t come free You’ll have to pay with Sword Pavilion Coins!” Elder Lu Yun said

“Sword Pavilion Coins?” Zhang Xuan repeated quietly with a hint of exasperation in his voice

He had not expected there to be another currency used within the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, and he had a feeling that he would have to spend quite a bit of effort to earn it in the near future It really felt like he would never be free from monetary problems at this rate

“The Sword Pavilion Coin is a virtual currency used only within the Ascendant Could Sword Pavilion It can be used to buy whatever you need, be it pills, weapons, cultivation techniques, or even lessons fro them can be quite troubleso, couide others on their cultivation In any case, thewithin the sect requires Sword Pavilion Coins Without them, you’ll face obstacles in whatever you do On the other hand, if you are able to earn sufficient Sword Pavilion Coins, you’ll be able to claim an endless supply of cultivation resources Naturally, you’ll also be able to advance your cultivation faster than anyone!” Elder Lu Yun explained

Dan Xiaotian was a little surprised as well

Things were a little different froined the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion to be a transcendental sect where material needs would be of secondary concern Everyone would be fully i the profoundness of cultivation and swordsmanshi+p Contrary to his expectations, there seemed to be quite a capitalistic economy in there?

“Wait a moment, Elder Lu You mentioned earlier that Sword Pavilion Coins is a virtual currency… Does that mean that the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion has its own Ethereal Hall?” Zhang Xuan asked

“You can think of it that way We have our own private Ethereal Hall that the disciples can access Similar to the other Ethereal Halls out there, it’s a place where our disciples spar and trade with one another The only difference would be that our Ethereal Hall is controlled internally by our own people, and it has its own currency and system It’s independent of the other Ethereal Halls out there!” Elder Lu Yun replied

Zhang Xuan nodded in realization

To use an analogy from his previous world, the Ethereal Hall within the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion was like a local area network in a PC cafe Only those on devices belonging to the PC cafe could access this isolated network

“Oh right, the standard level of cultivation in our own Ethereal Hall is different, too Our Ethereal Hall can only be accessed by inner disciples and above, so the standard level of cultivation inside the Ethereal Hall is not Saint 1-dan but Ancient Sage 1-dan,” Elder Lu Yun said

For those who entered the Ethereal Hall in Starlight City, no matter hoerful they were outside, their cultivation realm would be reduced to Saint 1-dan However, it was different here No matter hoerful or weak a person was, their cultivation would be set at Ancient Sage 1-dan within the Ethereal Hall

This made sense since a lot of the more formidable swordsth was capped at only Saint 1-dan That would also render the dueling ringelse is pretty e your appearance, too, such that others will be unable to tell who you are and vice versa… However, this alsoto could be an elder or even the sect leader himself Thus, you must make sure not to act audaciously within the Ethereal Hall While our elders and sect leader aren’t vindictive people, you can still get into a fair bit of trouble if you overstep your bounds!” Elder Lu Yun warned gravely

“Elder? Sect leader?”

Hearing that explanation, not only was Zhang Xuan not nervous in the least, his eyes even lit up in excitement He could not help but wonder, If I beat up an elder or the sect leader… will it beup ordinary cultivators?
