Synopsis

Inside a quiet pavilion located inside one of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom's four largest cultivation sects, a young man slowly opened his eyes with a helpless expression as he gazed down towards the fog located at the base of the mountain that the pavilion was located on top of.

Not only was he the youngest Core Elder in the history of a large cultivation sect, but he was also someone who had transmigrated over with a system!

The system in question wanted him to train up disciples and in turn help him get stronger!

But there was one major problem in all of this… He didn't have any disciples!

Ding~!

Talk about great timing...

Chapter 1

Xuan Hao

"Elder Xuan, the entrance examination for the new disciples is about to begin, would you like to come and join the other elders this time around?"

Inside an isolated pavilion located at the top of a tall mountain peak, Xuan Hao slowly opened his eyes before looking in the direction that the voice had come from.

"Sure, I'll be there in a moment."

After replying, Xuan Hao watched as the person who had arrived in front of his pavilion began making his way down the mountain peak with a happy expression on his face before disappearing inside the fog that had formed around the base of the mountain.

"Earth, Ewaria…"

Letting out a soft sigh as he thought about his current situation, Xuan Hao could not help remembering what had happened over the past few weeks.

Originally he was not from this world. Instead he was from another world, to be more precise, Earth.

Transmigration. Something that he had only ever read about in fantasy novels and webnovels, happened to him, he even had his own system that could be accessed inside his sea of consciousness... And that is not mentioning the fact that his soul had already fused together with the original owner of the body.

Although it did not feel like this had affected him in any way, Xuan Hao understood that he could no longer be considered the same person he was before his transmigration. In a sense, he had become a merger between his former self from earth and his current identity as Xuan Hao...

"Elder Xuan…"

Xuan Hao's sect was called the Flying Sword Sect and was located in the northern region of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom. Although it was not the strongest sect in the Heavenly Sky Kingdom, it still had a lot of influence in the surrounding region... Overlord of the Northern Region of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom. That was the way people normally referred to the Flying Sword Sect!

Even though it was considered the weakest of the four large sects in the Heavenly Sky Kingdom, it was still the fourth strongest sect overall.

Not to mention, inside this sect, Xuan Hao was a core elder!

The youngest core elder in the history of the Flying Sword Sect. Having reached the Nascent Soul Realm at the young age of 21!

The fifth nascent soul elder of the Flying Sword Sect!

Even with all of this information, it had still been a little hard for Xuan Hao to understand his identity after first transmigrating. Even with the memories of the former Xuan Hao merging together with his own.

At the moment, the Flying Sword Sect only had five people at the Nascent Soul Realm. The sect master, vice sect master and two other elders excluding himself.

He was at the Nascent Soul Realm, an elder of a large sect, and an expert ranked among the top five in the entire sect.

This starting point was far better than becoming someone who had to start from the beginning and slowly fight his way up the through endless life and death situations...

Now about the Nascent Soul Realm... In simple terms, it was an extremely powerful realm. Even across the entire Heavenly Sky Kingdom that the Flying Sword Sect was located inside of, the Nascent Soul Realm was the peak.

Even the supreme expert from the Heavenly Sky Kingdom, the ancestor of the royal family, had only reached the Peak of the Ninth Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm!

At the moment, Xuan Hao himself was at the First Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

This strength, however, was only considered strong within the Heavenly Sky Kingdom. Outside of it, on the Ewaria continent, a kingdom like the Heavenly Sky Kingdom was common, you could not even count the exact number of these kingdoms, there were simply way too many of them out there!

The Ewaria continent that he was now living on, was split into four large regions. The North, South, West and East Regions. Each Region had dozens of empires and each empire had hundreds if not thousands of kingdoms like the Heavenly Sky Kingdom under it.

From what information he had managed to gather so far, the Heavenly Sky Kingdom was located in the southern region of the Ewaria continent.

It was easy to imagine how large the Ewaria continent was. Let alone what existed beyond it.

Now... On to the cultivation and the different realms.

On the Ewaria Continent, there was the magical thing known as cultivation, a path to immortality! At least that was what most of the people had said laid on the end of the path...

The cultivation was divided into different large realms that were further divided into even more smaller realms in between the larger realms.

The large cultivation realms he knew of so far was the Qi Condensation Realm, Foundation Establishment Realm, Core Formation Realm and Nascent Soul Realm. Nothing out of the ordinary from what Xuan Hao could remember about the cultivation described in novels of his past life...

There were of course realms above Nascent Soul, but he had no idea what they were at the moment. All he knew about the realms above the Nascent Soul Realm, was the fact that those who surpassed the Nascent Soul Realm were referred to as Lords, capable of destroying an entire kingdom by themselves.

The ones above that were even more terrifying and were were even referred to as emperors. Rumoured to have the power to destroy hundreds of kingdoms with ease.

Not to mention the terrifying emperors who were said to only appear in the core of an empire, Xuan Hao had never seen a so-called Lord level expert before.

The strongest person in the Heavenly Sky Kingdom was after all still at the ninth stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. The neighbouring kingdoms surrounding the Heavenly Sky Kingdom also did not have anyone who surpassed the Nascent Soul Realm and were in a similar state as the Heavenly Sky Kingdom...

A Lord Realm expert was considered strong, even wandering around the Ewaria continent inside the core of the powerful empires. A true expert who could start a kingdom by themselves and reign as a king.

All in all, a person at the Lord Realm could easily destroy the entire Heavenly Sky Kingdom and the Flying Sword Sect along with it... And because of all of this, to many people, a Lord Realm expert was already a mythical existence that only appeared in legends to most ordinary people.

Even with the thousands of years behind the Heavenly Sky Kingdom, it still never had anyone surpass the Nascent Soul Realm. At most someone half a step into the Lord Realm had appeared and that had been the founder of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom!

Breaking through from the Nascent Soul realm and into the realm above was a terribly difficult thing for any Nascent Soul Realm Expert.

Of course, that was for other people. To Xuan Hao, who wanted to reach the pinnacle, surpassing the Nascent Soul Realm was just considered the beginning. Even the rumoured experts referred to as emperors should be within reach!

Smiling widely to himself as he thought about all of this, Xuan Hao entered his sea of consciousness and glanced at a panel of characters that had appeared there.

Name: Xuan Hao

Talent: ???

Realm: Nascent Soul Stage 1

Sect: Flying Sword Sect

Disciples: N/A

Main Quest: [Any disciple reaches the Foundation Establishment realm.]

Main Quest: [Reward: ???]

Side Quest: [Recruit your first disciple!]

[Requirement: At least a talent value of 10]

Quest Reward: [Cultivation Increase of 1 small realm], [Comprehending Sword Intent]

The Rewards for the first main mission was mysterious and the second one was a side quest with generous rewards.

The cultivation increase was nice, but the best thing was the sword intent.

Sword intent was not some special move or anything like that but was rather a concept of sort that would increase his strength in combat.

Those who could comprehend sword intent were all geniuses who had taken the first step on the path of becoming a real sword cultivator.

Sword cultivators were extremely terrifying and could fight those several realms above themselves, that was how the Flying Sword Sect had earned its place as the overlord of the northern region of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom in the first place.

Sword cultivators who comprehended sword intent were even more terrifying.

However, even though the rewards were tempting, he first had to complete the quests.

The first main quest required him to have a disciple reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, while the side quest required him to take in a disciple with talent a talent value of 10 or more.

Both quests wanted him to become a teacher and take in disciples.

"Haaah…"

Letting out a slightly exhausted sigh as he thought about taking in disciples, Xuan Hao got up from his meditative position before getting ready to leave.

These two quests were the reason for him to join this years entrance examination for new outer disciples of the sect even though he did not really want to. After all, quietly cultivating until he reached the pinnacle seemed way more relaxing to him compared to taking in a group of disciples to train... But if he wanted to improve his strength faster, he would have to take in disciples...

"I hope that the upcoming entrance examination has someone suitable, hopefully someone who is quiet, well mannered, easy to teach... And most importantly, does not disturb me..."

Xuan Hao honestly did not have much motivation when it came to teaching a bunch of young people. Even if he had the memory, fighting experience and feelings of the past Xuan Hao after merging together with him. Both of them, were quite laid back. One wanted to just quietly spend his days meditating and increasing his cultivation without any disturbances, while the other spent most of his time sitting down with a good cup of tea, reading a good book.

Thinking about this to himself, Xuan Hao wondered if he could be considered as the past Xuan Hao or a new Xuan Hao, as both of them had merged together during his transmigration and inherited each others Personalities-

Not that there was much of a difference in the first place...

Throwing these thoughts to the back of his mind for now, Xuan Hao made his way towards the entrance of the sect, where the examination for new outer disciple would be held.

Chapter 2

Qing Yi

Reaching the entrance of the sect where the entrance examination would take place, Xuan Hao was met with the sight of a bustling city spreading far into the horizon.

This was the Flying Sword city. One of the many cities under the Flying Sword Sects direct management inside of their territory.

"That should be the place..."

Looking away from the bustling city and instead focusing his attention on the examination ground located a little away from the entrance to the sect, Xuan Hao slowly began making his way over towards the examination ground that was currently bustling with activity as children had come from all over the northern region of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom to try their luck at joining the Flying Sword Sect.

Swish~

ignoring the people present and directly making his way towards a small outdoor pavilion that had temporarily been set up to overlook the entire examination ground atop a small hill.

Not only was the pavilion beautiful to the eye, but it was also here that the other core elders of the sect who had come to watch the yearly entrance examination were sitting.

Two core elders like himself, the vice sect master and sect master were present there, while the outer and inner elders were walking around the examination grounds to prepare the first round of tests.

Although most of them were not present as they remained inside the sect...

All things considered, it was quite a rare thing that all of the higher ups of the Flying Sword Sect had come to watch the entrance examination together.

"Who is that?!"

"I don't know, but for him to enter the pavilion where the higher ups are… Maybe he's a core disciple!?"

"A core disciple?! No way! I think he might be a personal disciple... Or even an elder!"

All the children between the ages of twelve to eighteen were looking towards the pavilion with hopes that one of the powerful elders would notice them during the upcoming tests and take them as a personal disciple.

Therefore, the sight of someone who looked to be at most a few years older than them directly entering the pavilion without anyone stopping him, caused quite a stir among the group of children waiting for the tests to start.

"Everyone! The first round of tests will begin shortly. Report to the place you were assigned upon entry into the examination grounds!"

Just at this moment, a loud voice echoed across the entire examination ground. Interrupting the children happily talking with each other.

"""...""""

Not even a minute had passed before everything on the examination ground had quiet down, as the children all began moving towards their designated area. Deep down, filled with both anticipation and nervousness at the upcoming tests.

Would they fail or jump over the dragon's gate and ascend to a new high? All of it depended on how they did in the upcoming tests!

…

"Elder Xuan, I didn't expect you would be joining the examination this time. Looking to take in your first disciple?"

The moment Xuan Hao entered the pavilion, he was blocked by a giant of man towering high above him, his robust muscles were easily visible under the robe he was wearing.

"Elder Wang Hu, it's been quite some time and yes, I've come to see if I can find someone suitable to take in."

Xuan Hao did not bother hiding his intentions of taking in a disciple as he said this with a small smile on his face.

The person in front of him was called Wang Hu and was one of the two core elders of the Flying Sword Sect, a Nascent Soul expert like himself.

"Really!? You? Take in a disciple!?"

"Yes."

Not expecting for him to respond positively to his question, Wang Hu blinked his eyes as he looked at Xuan Hao with a shocked expression on his face.

"Haha, I see, I see... Guess it really is time for you to take in some disciples…"

Listening to Wang Hu as he gave a few encouraging words about how to take care of his future disciple, Xuan Hao quickly made his way towards the seating space of the pavilion and greeted the rest of the upper echelons of the Flying Sword Sect.

They were...

The Sect Master Feng Chen, a Seventh Stage Nascent Soul expert.

The Vice Sect Master Zu Fei, a Fifth Stage Nascent Soul expert.

The other core elder, Wang Lan, who was the twin brother of the second core elder Wang Hu had both reached the Third Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

To be honest, Xuan Hao still found it surprising how big both of the Wang brothers were and could not help but think about whether or not they had the blood of giants flowing through them.

"Looks like the first round of tests are about to start..."

Spending some time talking with the rest of the elders present, the first round of tests soon began, causing Xuan Hao spread out his divine sense to keep an eye on the examination ground. Hoping to find a suitable disciple among the children taking part in the test.

Wang Hu and the others also stopped chatting and put all their focus on to the examination ground. The children and young adults outside were an important part of the future and would become the new generation of outer disciples and inner disciples of the Flying Sword Sect after today!

…

"Did you see that young man who entered the pavilion? I could not sense his cultivation, so he is most likely above the third stage of Core Formation! Our Fire bird city does not even have someone at the seventh stage of Core Formation, yet some random person among the elders of the Flying Sword Sect is at that level!"

"Hehe, if I can become a disciple of the Flying Sword Sect, then in the future, I will also have the support of a Nascent Soul expert... When I return, even the family's ancestors will have to be polite to me!"

"It's said that the Flying Sword Sect's Sect Master is not only at the seventh stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, but he's only a single step away from the eighth stage!"

There were exclamations of awe and admiration from the listening crowds of people upon hearing about how strong the Flying Sword Sect's Sect Master was. In this world where martial arts were respected above all, experts were naturally sought after and looked up to.

"Not to mention the Sect master, there is still the Vice Sect Master and two Core Elders still at the Nascent Soul Realm."

"I even heard rumours about the Flying Sword Sect recently adding a new Core Elder as well!"

"How strong! If I could become a disciple of the Flying Sword Sect, then my clan's crisis would be easily resolved! Even though the Black Rose Sect is strong, the Flying Sword Sect is even stronger!"

In the crowded examination grounds, a young girl who was about fifteen or sixteen years old stared intently towards the pavilion overlooking the examination grounds where Xuan Hao and the rest of the Flying Sword Sect's strongest experts were seated.

The girl's name was Qing Yi and she was the daughter of the head of the Qing clan that was located in a small city called Bright Sun City.

The Qing Clan that she was part of was not a small clan. Instead, it was one of the two strongest in Bright Sun City!

But when compared to a large sect like the Flying Sword Sect, it was simply not in the same league!

Bright Sun City was a city located in southern part of the northern region. Although it was located in the northern region together with the Flying Sword Sect, the distance between the two was still quite far.

Back when they set out for the Flying Sword Sect, it had taken Qing Yi and the other disciples of the Qing family nearly two months to reach the Flying Sword Sect from Bright Sun City.

As the daughter of the current head of the Qing family, her status was naturally above the normal members of her family and everyone inside the Bright Sun City would be respectful towards her.

However, this status was limited to Bright Sun City and the few cities and towns located nearby.

Qing Yi knew very well, that once she had left the Qing family's sphere of influence, she would no longer be able to enjoy any of the influence or power that came with being from a large family clan.

No one would give her any face due to her being part of the Qing Family. Especially in the core part of the Flying Sword Sect's territory!

Thus, she had kept a low profile since she had left her family's territory towards the start of her journey. Trying her best not to provoke any disasters along the way.

Chapter 3

Qing Family

"Qing Chenyi, it's all up to you to ensure that our Qing Family can survive the crisis we find ourselves stuck in. If you can enter the Flying Sword Sect, then Bai Li and the Black Rose Sect behind him won't be able to do anything to our Qing Family!"

Just a little behind Qing Yi stood an elderly man. Despite his looks, he was not weak in the slightest and he was someone at the peak of the second stage of the Core Formation Realm, as well as the first elder of the Qing clan. His position in the Qing clan was only behind the current head of the Qing clan, Qing Yi's father.

This time, he was in charge of leading a group of promising children from the Qing clan to try and enter the Flying Sword Sect.

The First Elder spoke, but he did not say those words to Qing Yi, the daughter of the clan's head. Instead, he said those words to a white-robed young man standing in the forefront of the group of Qing clan children with a proud look on his face.

Although Qing Yi's status was the most noble and honourable among the disciples of the Qing Family, in terms of talent, she was far from the best of them. Even counting her among the top 10 of the children present would be considered a stretch.

"First Elder, don't worry. I will be sure to enter the Flying Sword Sect and get their support! With me entering the Flying Sword Sect, staying safe from the Black Rose Sect will not be a problem for us at all! Instead of us worrying, it should be the Bai family worrying about themselves in the future!"

Qing Chenyi smiled. Not only was he the number one genius of the Qing Family, but he was also considered as the number one genius of Bright Sun City. In his opinion, joining the Flying Sword Sect was a matter of course. Not difficult for someone like himself at all.

Qing Yi pursed her lips when she heard this. The look in her eyes felt somewhat sad to onlookers.

That's right… Qing Chenyi was the one who had the most hope of entering the Flying Sword Sect. Even the two others behind Qing Chenyi had quite a good chance of entering according to the Qing family.

'I…'

It had to be said that even though she was the sole daughter of the current clan head, Qing Chenyi's talent was way higher than hers.

As the only child of the current family head, she did not manage to inherit her father's outstanding talent but in the end, still enjoyed the family's best resources. However even with this, she could not even rank amongst the top ten of the younger generation of the Qing family…

It was not that she did not work hard. She had already worked extremely hard, maybe even harder than any of the others from the younger generation of the Qing clan. From the beginning of her cultivation, she had never dared to relax in the slightest. However, the so-called talent wasn't something that could be made up for by hard work…

At her age, her father had already broken through to stage one of the foundation Establishment Realm.

"Haha, You? Entering the Flying Sword Sect? Hahaha… Qing Chenyi, are you and the Qing family even worthy of such a thing?"

Right as the members of the Qing family were about to move towards the testing area of the examination grounds, a mocking voice sounded out just behind them. The Qing family's people did not even need to turn around to know who it was.

"What!? Bai Cheng, I'm not worthy? Are you? Get lost!" Qing Chenyi turned around and coldly looked at the black-robed youth behind him.

The young man's name was Bai Cheng, from one of the two great clans of Bright Sun City. He was a member of the Bai family, and he was also one of their younger generations most brilliant talents. Definitely within the top three of the Bai family, though he was quite lacking when it came to using his head...

In the past, Bai Cheng was stronger than Qing Chenyi and had even bullied him and other members of the Qing family from time to time, but later on, Qing Chenyi rose up and suppressed him in both talent and strength.

Whether it was his talent or his strength, Qing Chenyi was above him now.

"Heh, Qing Chenyi, what are you so proud of? When I enter the Flying Sword Sect, I will completely surpass you easily. At the next year's Bright Sun City Grand Competition, I will let you know that being in the lead for a moment means absolutely nothing. Haha, enjoy your place as the number one in Bright Sun City while you can." Bai Cheng did not become angry upon hearing Qing Chenyi but continued to laugh. Acting like the generic villian from any old story...

"Oh? I don't know from which hole in the ground you popped up from. However, since you can enter, naturally I can as well." Qing Chenyi snorted coldly. His talent was above Bai Cheng. If Bai Cheng could enter, so could he.

"Then We'll Wait and see. I'm looking forward to your expression when the examination ends. Hahaha…" Bai Cheng laughed and was about to walk off when he caught a glace of Qing Yi and suddenly froze in place.

"Yiyi, how is it? As long as you agree to marry me, then both the Bai and Qing family will be one big family. When I become a disciple of the Flying Sword Sect, I'll ensure that your Qing family is safe and sound in the future!"

The matter of Bai Cheng's love for Qing Yi was no secret in Bright Sun City. He had gone to the Qing family several times to propose already but had been rejected every time by Qing Yi's father in a domineering manner. He had even been beaten up by him a few times in the process.

Qing Yi's mother had passed away just after she was born. Her father only had one daughter left at this point in time.

He would never force her to do anything she didn't like. Let alone make her marry someone from their rival family, the Bai family.

Qing Yi shot a cold glance at Bai Cheng. She did not say anything. Instead, she looked at the pavilion in the middle of the examination grounds where the higher-ups of the Flying Sword Sect were located.

It was because the appearance of a single person had attracted her attention.

"Who is that?"

"I saw him enter the pavilion earlier, maybe he was there to deliver a message to the higher-ups."

"Eh? Who is he then? Not anyone can enter the pavilion, maybe a young elder?!"

This 'young man' who had appeared only a little after he entered was naturally Xuan Hao.

His appearance once again caused quite a stir in the examination grounds.

However, what truly made people care about him was not that.

Instead… Xuan Hao stood beside Feng Chen!

Who was Feng Chen?

The Master of the Flying Sword Sect!

Not just anyone had the right to stand beside him.

Before Xuan Hao appeared, there were only three other people who did so outside of the Flying Sword Sect and all of them were Nascent Soul Realm experts!

Some people started questioning who Xuan Hao was.

This young man… Who was he?

The son of the Flying Sword Sect's Master?

No, everyone knew that the Flying Sword Sect's Master didn't have a wife. Furthermore, the last person who mentioned anything about him marrying were called in for a meeting with the Vice Sect Master Zu Fei and mysteriously appeared beaten up somewhere in the outskirts of the Flying Sword city.

Quite a few people shivered upon the thought of the Vice Sect Master Zu Fei.

"Heh, You people are quite ignorant, right? This person is called Xuan Hao. Although he is young, he is a Core Elder of the Flying Sword Sect! A Nascent Soul Realm expert!"

"Nascent Soul Realm? The same level as the Sect Master? He doesn't seem that much older than me, how is it even possible to reach the Nascent Soul Realm at such a young age!?"

"There's nothing impossible. This Core Elder Xuan is indeed a Nascent Soul Realm expert. Not only is he one of the youngest core elders in the Flying Sword Sect's history, but he's also the youngest Nascent Soul Realm expert in the Heavenly Sky Kingdom. Don't forget that Nascent Soul Realm Experts can change their appearance easily as well..." Another person reaffirmed.

"How do you even know that in the first place?" Some people still didn't believe the claim.

"I naturally know that because my sister is an inner disciple of the Flying Sword Sect!" That person said proudly.

Within the Flying Sword Sect, there were thousands upon thousands of disciples with distinct levels. The disciples were all divided into three levels, Outer disciples, Inner disciple and core disciple. For example, even if they entered the Flying Sword Sect after a series of selections, they were still only outer disciples. Apart from those lucky enough to be chosen by an elder to become personal disciples.

The position of an inner disciple in the Flying Sword Sect was already high.

As expected, when this person revealed that his sister was already an inner disciple, a few gazes of envy and jealousy were immediately shot over.

How they wished they could have such an awesome sister...
