Immemorial Dragon Sect

"Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Origin Reversal, the Second step... There is a very long way ahead of me. But one day, I believe that I will reach the second step! But first, I need to memorize every rule and information." Fang Min started reading the book all over again. At this moment, a Merlot Soul was reading all of Fang Min's thoughts.

"This child, he doesn't have any talent but he wants to reach the second step that took me so long even at a decent planet. This half-abandoned planet, forget celestial or demonic energy, it has barely any Spiritual Energy. But this Immemorial Dragon Sect is not bad, having some second-step juniors. Only one of my puppets could destroy this sect. If I take over his mind right now, he could die. He needs to turn his mortal soul into a Nascent Soul before I erase his mind So his Soul can withstand it. Forget it, I will help him reach Nascent Soul before taking over. But for now, I can destroy his righteous mindset with some influence." Lin Xiaowen slowly stabilized his condition after several years of sleeping. He was still heavily injured, but not on the brink of death anymore.

Several days later, Immemorial Dragon Sect.

"Rise and shine, kids! We have reached the Immemorial Dragon Sect," Du Ziang called out. Fang Min and Li Chen slowly opened their eyes, feeling utterly exhausted and famished. The past few days had been grueling; they had gone without food or water, and trying to absorb the sect's rules had taken a toll on their minds. Seeing their sorry state, Du Ziang waved his hand and infused them with a burst of spiritual energy. Instantly, all their exhaustion vanished, and they felt rejuvenated.

As Fang Min gazed downward, his pupils shrank in amazement. A massive sect sat atop a towering mountain, with some of its buildings even reaching into the clouds. The sight was like a glimpse of heaven itself. The dragon flew a bit further before finally landing in one of the spacious areas designated for dragons. As Fang Min and Li Chen disembarked, they could hardly contain their excitement and anticipation for what lay ahead.

"Junior Du Ziang greets Senior Brother White Cloud!" Du Ziang quickly descended as well and respectfully bowed to a green-robed person.

"Good, are these kids the new sect members?" White Cloud asked calmly.

"Reporting to Senior Brother White Cloud, these two are from Kunlun Village. Li Chen and Fang Min, Li Chen has good talent, while this Fang Min can barely cultivate." Du Ziang quickly replied.

"Li Chen? Doesn't your division have a person named Li as well?" White Cloud showed a hint of interest.

"Yes, he is the junior brother of Blue-Divisions Li Guang." Du Ziang said respectfully.

"Good, send him to Elder Void Extermination." After saying this, White Cloud turned and left.

"Yes, Senior Brother." Du Ziang grabbed the two of them and flew toward the back of the mountain.

As they approached the waterfall, Fang Min and Li Chen could hear the roaring sound of water crashing down. The mist from the waterfall made it hard for them to see clearly. But they could sense a powerful energy emanating from it. As they entered the waterfall, they felt a refreshing coolness that permeated their entire being.

Du Ziang and the two youngsters walked in through the waterfall and found themselves in a hidden cave. The cave was dimly lit with a few torches on the walls. The sound of water droplets echoed through the cave. They saw an old man sitting cross-legged on a stone platform, surrounded by a faint aura.

"Come in," the old man's voice echoed through the cave, his eyes still closed in deep meditation.

"Junior Du Ziang greets Elder Void Extermination!" Du Ziang was very nervous. This was someone who finished their Origin Reversal, a sect Elder! If this person wanted to, he could kill him with a thought!

Du Ziang brought Fang Min and Li Chen forward and knelt before the old man. "Senior Brother, I have brought two new disciples for the sect," he said respectfully.

The old man opened his eyes and glanced at the two youngsters before him. His gaze seemed to penetrate through them, as if examining their souls. Fang Min and Li Chen felt a shiver down their spine under the old man's scrutinizing gaze.

"Are these two the new sect members?" The old man said in a low voice.

"Reporting to Elder Void Extermination, these are Fang Min and Li Chen, Both new members." Du Ziang had cold sweat all over him.

Suddenly, an extremely strong divine sense entered both Fang Min and Li Chen. The moment the divine sense entered Fang Min, Lin Xiaowen opened his eyes and released a weak wave of Spiritual Energy. Void Extermination was checking if these people were spies from other sects. In front of the divine sense of an Origin Reversal Cultivator, there couldn't be anything hidden. At the same time, he was personally checking their talent. Seeing that there wasn't anything hidden, he withdrew his divine sense and relaxed.

At this moment, Lin Xiaowen looked at the old man.

"This junior has already finished his Origin Reversal. But still, he can't see through me. I already released a weak wave of spiritual energy at the village, and he probably knows that his talent is dogshit. if I increased the talent of this child right now, the second step junior would be suspicious and might even kill me. Although there is a low chance that he would actually kill me, I can't risk it. I don't know the temper of this person and the history of this sect. If there were spies before, it's natural that they are strict. I have no choice but to make a low profile and hide the cultivation of this body. Even if I was found out, I can sacrifice a bit of my soul for a burst of power and escape very far away. However, my soul might extinguish or I might get in a coma for years again. Or I might fail to fuse with someone and die."

"Very well, you may leave now." The old man waved his hand, and in an instant, Fang Min, Li Chen, and Du Ziang vanished. When he opened his eyes, he saw a building. The building was constructed with purple stone and had intricate carvings and patterns etched onto its surface. The front entrance was decorated with two large dragon statues, with their mouths open as if to welcome visitors. As Fang Min approached the entrance, he felt a powerful aura emanating from the building, making him feel small and insignificant in comparison. He couldn't help but feel a sense of reverence and awe as he stood before the entrance, wondering what kind of secrets and mysteries were hidden within its walls.

Du Ziang turned to Fang Min and Li Chen, a smile spreading across his face. "You two, go find Hua Mei. He will arrange a place for you." With a small nod, he flew off, leaving the two youngsters standing in front of the imposing purple building.

"Understood, Senior Du Ziang," both of them bowed respectfully as Du Ziang departed.

"Come on, what are you waiting for?" Li Chen grabbed Fang Min's arm and pulled him into the building. As they entered, they saw a hall filled with nearly thirty disciples dressed in purple robes, each at varying levels of cultivation. Some were at Qi Condensation level 2, while others had already reached level 7 or 8. In the center of the hall sat a person at level 13, surrounded by a group of disciples.

"You two must be the new disciples that Senior White Cloud informed us about," the man in purple said with an air of arrogance.

"I am Hua Mei, Head Disciple of the Purple Division. What are you waiting for, are you not going to greet me?" Hua Mei frowned and looked at Fang Mei and Lu Chen.

"Respectful greetings to Senior Hua Mei," they both said in unison, bowing respectfully.

"Proceed to the back hallway and find room number 19. You two will be sharing the same room," Hua Mei said with a haughty expression.

"Yes, senior brother Hua Mei."

As they walked towards the hallway, they could sense Hua Mei's arrogant attitude towards them. Both of them proceeded towards room 19 and found a simple room with only a bathroom and two beds. Each bed had a purple uniform and two identification jades. After quickly changing into their uniforms, Li Chen's face became twisted with anger.

"That Hua Mei, how arrogant. My Senior Brother Li Guang won't let this matter go!" He quietly said. He was afraid that Hua Mei would hear them. But the rooms had protection against divine senses for privacy, so Hua Mei couldn't hear them. Li Chen was treating Fang Min much better now, a familiar face in this foreign place was very important to him.

"Li Chen, relax. After a while, he will get used to us. And if our cultivation level increases, he won't treat us the same way." Fang Min said with a smile. He was already used to be treated like this since he was an orphan kid. But a Merlot Soul deep inside Fang Min had an angry face as well.

"A mere junior dares to talk to my body like that? If I was at my peak condition, I would slaughter all of them like livestock! However, no matter what, unless this body is in mortal danger, I won't act." Lin Xiaowen was originally a demonic cultivator, so being treated like that, even if not directly him, would make him angry. But he wouldn't act or let his emotions out.

He cultivated for hundreds of years, how could he let go of his emotions like that? If not for his Slaughter Dao being heavily shaken and damaged after almost dying, he wouldn't act like this.

"I should tell him that I exist in the future, but he should get a little used to this world first, or he might think that he's losing his mind and report this to the elders. That would certainly not be good." Lin Xiaowen thought.

"Let's get some rest, Fang Min. All of this has been exhausting," Li Chen said as he looked at his friend, his expression tired. They had been through a lot over the past few days, and the journey to the Immemorial Dragon Sect had been long and tiring.

Fang Min nodded in agreement, and they both quickly changed into their purple uniforms and settled into their respective beds. As Fang Min lay down, he couldn't help but think about the challenges and opportunities that lay ahead of him as a disciple of the sect. But for now, all he wanted was some much-needed rest.

"All of this happened too fast, I am still in shock. Several days ago, I was cleaning the village and living in a small hut. But now I live with the village chief's son and cultivators. It is like a dream." Fang Min slowly dived into deep thoughts before falling asleep.

Fang Min found himself walking in a serene, white forest covered in snow. The air was crisp, and he could feel the coldness on his skin, making him shiver. He continued to walk, following a trail of footsteps in the snow. Eventually, he saw a faint red light coming from deep within the forest.

Curiosity got the better of him, and he followed the light until he saw a humanoid figure lying on the ground, visibly injured and struggling to move. The figure was of a merlot red color, resembling a human but with sharper features and longer limbs. It was covered in wounds and bruises, and its breaths were ragged and labored.

As Fang Min approached the figure, it suddenly opened its eyes and stared right at him. The gaze was intense and unnerving, making Fang Min take a step back. The merlot-red humanoid struggled to speak, but no words came out, only a raspy breath.

Fang Min's heart was pounding in his chest as he watched the figure. Suddenly, a loud bang from the door shook him out of his trance. He woke up with a start, covered in cold sweat. Li Chen was also awake, looking at him with concern.

"What happened?" Li Chen asked.

"I had a weird dream," Fang Min replied, still shaken. "And there was someone or something there, injured and looking at me."

Li Chen looked at him skeptically, but then shrugged. "Well, let's get some rest. We have a long day ahead of us."

They both laid back down on their beds, but Fang Min couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that the dream had left him with. Right at this moment, a voice came from the door.

"You two, Senior Hua Mei is calling you, quickly go!" A young voice said. Fang Min and Li Chen quickly got up and left the room. After passing the hallway and the other rooms, they saw Hui Mei waiting for them at the center.

As Fang Min and Li Chen approached Hua Mei, they could feel his piercing gaze inspecting them from head to toe. His eyes were cold and uninviting, and his body language exuded a palpable sense of superiority.

"What took you so long?" Hua Mei sneered, his tone condescending. "I've been waiting for you for a while now."

"We're sorry, Senior Brother," Fang Min replied meekly, trying his best to avoid eye contact with Hua Mei.

"Welcome, my new disciples," said Hua Mei, with a slightly mocking tone. "As fresh members of our sect, you have the opportunity to pick one spell from our library. Don't waste this chance, as you won't have another chance until you reach the Foundation Establishment stage, which is quite unlikely for you two. Otherwise, you'll have to use your hard-earned Battle Merits or Spiritual Stones to obtain them. Head to the Sect Library, which is located in the northeast direction of the sect. Here's a map to help you find it." Hua Mei handed over a map to Fang Min and Li Chen, who eagerly took it. As they examined the map, they noticed that the sect library was located at the furthest end of the sect, near the outer mountains.
