As Lin Tian and his father made his way down the the pagoda Lin Tian was actually feeling slightly excited, If it all worked out then he would be able to start his journey to the peak fairly soon, immersed in his thought's Lin Tian just kept following his father until the sun light hit his eyes, temporarily blinding him, out of annoyance he quickly raised his hand to block the rays.
It only took a minute for his eyes to adapt, since he was in closed door seclusion for a long amount of time it took him some time to adjust, as he lowered his hand his eyes widened in surprise as he was greeted by a long cobblestone pathway with big lush trees on both sides, chirping birds flying above them all and the sun's making everything shine.
Lin Houshin quickly noticed his son stopped following him and turned around, observing his son's countenance of admiration he thought to himself
'Now that I think of it, he never really left the pagoda did he, he was always cooped up in that library'
After letting his son bask in the beauty of the outside for a few more moments he said
"Let's go Tian"
Being brought out of his quick admiration he quickly followed his father and they both made their way towards the sect master's pagoda, the one situated on the center of the 3 great sword peaks.
As Lin Tian followed his father along he couldn't help but appreciate the beauty of the mini forest that he was passing by butterfly's flying around the branches of the lush trees that were present at each side of the bath, ripe fruits hanging in the small bushes that were encompassed by the massive trees, it was truly a sight to behold, but he quickly got bored as he had gotten used to it, after a while they were nearing the pagoda, suddenly Lin Houshin stopped causing Lin Tian to bump into him, he quickly took a few steps back and stared at his father before saying
"Father, why have we stopped? the pagoda is still a little while away"
But he heard no response from his father, rather Lin Houshin's face quickly morphed into one of a grin while staring into the space in front of them as he said
"Old Geezer, isin't about time you show your self?"
Just as his father finished his sentence he heard a hearty laughter
"hahahhaha, it seems your senses haven't dulled"
Lin Tian was naturally confused before he a figure starting to materialize himself before himself and his father, he quickly thought to himself
'Considering how these two are interacting he seems to be the sect master, the infamous Hun Zhi Peng!'
The Hearty laughter stopped after a few moments, the sect master changed his expression from one of laughter to a serious one before saying
" So? What brings you here today? it's been a long time since you visited"
Hearing his words, Lin Houshin Grinned before replying
" This is my son, Lin Tian, and he broke through after 6 months, you know what that means don't you? "
The sect master's eyes widened in surprise before scanning Lin Tian with his soul sense
Feeling those eyes seeing through his body naturally made Lin Tian annoyed because he couldn't do anything about it.
Before the sect master said anything, Lin Houshin added
" So I proposed to marry your youngest to him, and he decided to make a choice after seeing her, what do you say? "
Hearing Lin Houshin's words, the sect master's expression quickly changed into one of contemplation, he thought
' This kid is clearly a genius, breaking through that quick on the beginning of one's cultivation journey means he truly has hope to at least reach Core formation and maybe even that legendary realm.... it would truly be beneficial to have him marry my youngest '
After a few moment's the sect master quickly nodded before taking out a jade from his space ring and saying
" Send Yi Xian to the meeting hall, now "
In response to this a deep voice came out of the jade
"yes master"
Hearing the confirmation the sect master put the jade back before nodding to Lin Tian and Houshin and saying
"Follow me"
It only took a minute or so before they reached the sect master's pagoda once they entered he found that it was quite similar to his own except straight ahead from the main was a humungous, extravagant door decorated with gold patters that were shining, the handles each had a gold dragon encircling them it was truly something to marvel at, once they reached close enough to the door it automatically swung open, revealing a massive hall with the ceilings reaching 200 feet high, a floor made out the strongest stone, on each side of the hall separated by a carpet pathway made of the finest silk, each pillar had a jade stone embedded into it with a number on top ranging from 1-8 at the bottom of each pillar were thrones that belonged to each of the eight elders in the sect, and finally at the end of the silk pathway there three jade thrones each had a jade sword carved into it but it was slightly different from the the swords on the pillars since there were no numbers but the middle throne belonged to the sect master whilst the two thrones on each side, which which were on a slightly lower elevation belonged to each of the supreme elder's forming a shape similar to the podium. It was truly a sight to behold
Lin Tian was drawn out of his admirative sate when he heard a knock on the hall's doors followed by a sweet, harmonious voice saying
" Father, may I enter? "
drew his attention.
