Chapter 23

At this moment, Itachi along with Ling Yuefeng were already at the peak of where the Heavenly Sword Villa Leader cultivates. And this would also be the place where Itachi would spend his cultivation.

The moment he set his feet in this place, Itachi felt the profound energy denser than normal. It was comparable to step number fifty.

"Maybe that ladder has certain limitations..." He thought.

Ling Yuefeng showed every corner of the peak they were on, he was doing this to show Itachi how strong he and the sect are. This could make Itachi respect and admire him at least that was what he thought.

Itachi looked at the surroundings, and noticed that there were some medicinal herbs planted in some places, and when Ling Yuefeng noticed where he was looking, his smile widened.

"See little Itachi, those herbs are treasures that cannot be found in this empire."

"That is an herb that can make a cultivator instantly break through to the True Profound Realm..." Ling Yuefeng commented as he pointed to a purple-looking herb that emanated a strange aura.

Hearing what Ling Yuefeng said, Itachi couldn't hide his surprise. That kind of herb was really rare, and it definitely wouldn't belong to the Blue Wind Empire.

"It's like I thought... Maybe they are related to the four holy grounds."

Itachi kept these thoughts to himself, he knew that even if Ling Yuefeng was treating him well, he still didn't have the man's trust, so he knew when to ask and when not to.

Besides, his current goal was to just get the best place to cultivate, and once he can create the world inside his body, he can think of other things.

The presentation continued for a while, and soon Ling Yuefeng showed the whole peak and also the room where Itachi could cultivate and at the same time rest.

With a smile on his face, Ling Yuefeng asked, "Little Itachi, what do you think? Pretty good right? If you need anything you can tell me, I will do my best to attend to it."

Ling Yuefeng said nothing about asking Itachi to be his disciple, he had other plans that involved sending Itachi to the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region.

Sending Itachi to the Sacred Ground, would be the best choice Ling Yuefeng could make, this was because he would have someone bound to him in that place, and it could bring countless benefits for himself.

But he knew that would be for the future, his goal for now was to make Itachi as loyal as possible, so he would have to show this little boy how good he was by giving him plenty of resources to cultivate.

"Hehe! It will be very easy to fool this child." Ling Yuefeng thought.

Itachi was a little excited to hear Ling Yuefeng's words, so he decided to ask him about the Profound stairs.

"I think cultivating on those stairs is really beneficial, so I wonder if I can cultivate in that place?" Itachi asked going straight to the point.

Hearing what Itachi wanted, Ling Yuefeng smiled, he knew that those profound stairs were bewitching, even Itachi who seemed stable couldn't stop that feeling of wanting to cultivate in that place.

"If it's just that it's very easy, but with your talent, those stairs will soon be useless, since once you break through to the True Profound Realm the stairs become useless." Ling Yuefeng said calmly.

That answer made Itachi realize why Ling Yuefeng did not cultivate on those stairs. The effect of the stairs were lost once you reached a certain level of cultivation, that made sense, otherwise how Ling Yuefeng would allow other people to use those steps.

"This Profound Ladder, is one of our sect's treasures, thanks to this treasure we can have many young people with cultivation above the True Realm Profound." Ling Yuefeng said.

This treasure was one of the main reasons why his sect was the most powerful in the Blue Wind Empire. From what his father told him, this treasure was given to him by an elder of the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region. Before the elder left, he said that this treasure was due to them keeping one of the great secrets of the Sacred Ground.

"That treasure would be very useful if it were taken to the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace..." Itachi thought.

Even though on the surface he had cut his ties with his mother's sect, he still couldn't forget the people who took care of him when he was still a baby. So he was already thinking of ways to take this kind of treasure back with him.

"Anyway, you can go to the Profound Stairs at any time, usually to cultivate in the Profound Stairs you need to pay with honor points obtained by performing quests, but since you are someone I intend to nurture this is unnecessary. I will ask an elder to take you in that place later." Said Ling Yuefeng at which Itachi nodded.

Ling Yuefeng returned to talk with Itachi about the sect and also its rules in which Itachi listened carefully, at the end of his speech Ling Yuefeng gave Itachi a storage ring.

Inside the storage ring were many pills that could help in his cultivation, as well as cultivation manuals, battle techniques, money, a coat of arms that showed he was under the care of the sect leader, and many other things.

"When your resources run out, just talk to an elder and he will provide more resources for you. And you don't have to be shy, our sect doesn't lack resources to nurture you." Said Ling Yuefeng as he said goodbye but not before calling an elder to take Itachi to the Profound Stairs.

The reason for Ling Yuefeng leaving was that his father contacted him because he wanted to discuss the matter of 'Uchiha Itachi'.

The elder summoned by Ling Yuefeng was precisely the same elder responsible for the sect's entrance test. Itachi found out that the name of this elder is Ling Xu, a member of the Ling family.

"To assign a family member to stay with me, he really treats me like someone important..." Itachi thought sarcastically.

"Young Master, please follow me, I will take you to the Profound Stairs." Ling Xu said respectfully as he bowed slightly towards Itachi.

Itachi nodded and followed Ling Xu, he felt that he could make good use of the time he would be staying in this sect. He had already sensed that Ling Yuefeng had other plans for him, but being honest, Itachi didn't care. He just wanted to see what Ling Yuefeng had planned.
