A World Within the Sect

As the brilliant light faded, Jiang Daoming and the other inner disciples found themselves standing before the majestic main entrance gate of the Celestial Sword Sect. The gate, adorned with intricate carvings of celestial beings and swords, exuded an aura of grandeur and power. It was a sight that left them in awe.

Led by the Core Elder, they passed through the gate and entered the hidden world concealed by a powerful formation. The moment they stepped inside, a wave of profound energy washed over them, permeating the air. It was as if they had entered a realm completely separate from the outside world.

Jiang Daoming's eyes widened as he took in the breathtaking sight before him. The sect was nestled within a mountain range, with eight magnificent peaks towering above. Each peak had its own unique name and held a distinct aura.

The First Peak, known as Azure Peak, stood as the symbol of the Celestial Sword Sect's mastery of swordsmanship. Its Peak Master, Li Wuxin, was renowned for her unparalleled sword skills and strict discipline. Disciples who chose Azure Peak dedicated themselves to honing their sword techniques under her watchful eye, striving for perfection in every strike.

The Second Peak, Verdant Peak, was a haven for alchemists and those who wished to delve into the mysteries of herbal medicine. The Peak Master, Elder Xiang Yu, possessed profound knowledge of alchemy and medicinal herbs. Disciples on Verdant Peak immersed themselves in the study of herbs and alchemical practices, seeking to unlock the secrets of immortality.

The Third Peak, Crimson Peak, attracted those with a talent for formations and an affinity for manipulating energy. The Peak Master, Elder Feng Ling, was a master of formations, capable of creating intricate arrays with devastating effects. Disciples on Crimson Peak delved into the intricacies of formations, learning to harness their power for both offense and defense.

The Fourth Peak, Golden Peak, was a domain for beast tamers. Its Peak Master, Elder Yu Zhen, had a profound connection with the spiritual beasts that roamed the sect's surroundings. Disciples on Golden Peak developed their skills in taming and communicating with spiritual beasts, forming unbreakable bonds with their animal companions.

The Fifth Peak, Adamantine Peak, housed the masters of artifact refining. Its Peak Master, Elder Chen Xin, possessed unparalleled skills in crafting and enhancing weapons and artifacts. Disciples on Adamantine Peak honed their craftsmanship, striving to create divine weapons that could rival the power of legends.

The Sixth Peak, Tempest Peak, was a sanctuary for disciples with a talent for the martial arts of fists and bodies. The Peak Master, Elder Zhang Feng, was a formidable warrior with indomitable strength. Disciples on Tempest Peak trained their bodies and fists, seeking to master powerful martial techniques and become living weapons themselves.

The Seventh Peak, Tranquil Peak, catered to those who sought spiritual enlightenment and tranquility. Its Peak Master, Elder Liu Xuan, was a wise and serene cultivator who guided disciples on the path of inner peace and spiritual growth. Disciples on Tranquil Peak focused on cultivating their minds and attaining spiritual harmony.

The Eighth Peak, Starry Peak, was dedicated to the exploration of the cosmos and the mysteries of the stars. Its Peak Master, Elder Lu Yan, was known for his profound knowledge of astronomy and astrology. Disciples on Starry Peak delved into the secrets of the universe, seeking to unlock the cosmic powers that lay hidden within.

And finally, the Ninth Peak, Celestial Peak, was the main peak of the sect, where the Sect Master resided alongside the Grand Elder and the highest-ranking elders. It was a place of great importance, where important meetings and decisions were made. Access to Celestial Peak was restricted to elders and select disciples.

Jiang Daoming and the other inner disciples were given the freedom to choose the peak they wished to join. As a sword sect, it was expected that every disciple would have a certain level of proficiency in swordsmanship. However, there were also opportunities for disciples to specialize in other areas such as alchemy, formations, beast taming, artifact refining, and martial arts.

Excitement and anticipation filled the air as Jiang Daoming contemplated his choice. He was drawn to the allure of Azure Peak, where he could further refine his sword skills under the guidance of Peak Master Li Wuxin. However, the other peaks beckoned to him as well, each offering unique paths of cultivation.

As Jiang Daoming mulled over his decision, he couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude and privilege for having the opportunity to join such a prestigious sect. The journey ahead promised challenges, growth, and the realization of his dreams. He knew that he has to seize this opportunity to cultivate and bring out his full potential.
