Chapter 85: "The Heavenward Sect will surely rise to greatness!"
Chapter 85: "The Heavenward Sect will surely rise to greatness!"
"This..."
Within the Heavenward Sect, hundreds of disciples stared at the projection of the Memory Stone in mid-air, their faces filled with awe and disbelief. For a moment, they were at a loss for words.
A Spellcaster, that's normal.
A Sword Cultivator, also normal.
But why does the combination of these two make it so damn abnormal?!
Is this the effect that two Foundation Establishment Cultivators can achieve when working together?
"Did you learn it?"
The Inner Sect Elder of the Heavenward Sect turned to the Outer Sect Elder beside him, his face filled with hesitation, and asked, "What do you think? Can we select a few disciples and replicate this strategy? This kind of coordination will definitely yield excellent results in the upcoming inter-sect competition among the younger generation."
"Huh?"
The Outer Sect Elder let out an 'ah' sound, somewhat incredulous, and turned to look at the Inner Sect Elder, "Elder Liu, don't you want to take a look at the Spellcaster's techniques? He has cultivated the Lightning Summoning Art to the Great Perfection Realm at the first stage of Foundation Establishment, which is already incredible, even though it's difficult, it's not impossible."
"But his Spirit Energy is like an unlimited supply, casting spells one after another. Even though Fufeng City was experiencing a Demon Clan invasion at the time, and the Spirit Energy was at its peak, you should have at least retreated from the battle to recover your Heart Technique, right?"
"Look at him, he didn't even stop for a moment."
"And that Sword Cultivator, which Sword Cultivator can have such a fast Flying Sword at the Foundation Establishment stage? Not to mention our sect, how many can the entire Great Xia produce?"
"Moreover, this familiar technique, this familiar Flying Sword, isn't this Sword Cultivator the former number one Sword Cultivator of Great Xia, the White Robe?"
"How can this be replicated?"
At this moment, the disciples below, who were originally stunned, also reacted, realizing the impossibility of replicating this.
On the grandstand of the Sect Plaza.
"Sect Master."
The Grand Elder of the Heavenward Sect spoke with a grim expression, "The annual Sect Disciple Martial Arts Tournament held in the capital city is about to begin. This year, we still haven't cultivated any exceptional disciples. Why don't we let Zhao Yishi participate this time?"
"Even if he doesn't win the championship, he should be able to achieve a good ranking and bring some positive feedback to the sect."
Although Zhao Yishi hasn't obtained any entries that can be paired with the 'Giant Sequoia', he has found several Body Cultivation techniques, and his strength is not to be underestimated. He can literally punch a mountain, which is a bit exaggerated, but he's not weak either.
Among the younger generation of disciples, he is considered outstanding.
However, in previous years' "Sect Disciple Martial Arts Tournaments," the Sect Master has never allowed Zhao Yishi to participate.
The Sect Master's intention was that Zhao Yishi must create a resounding impact, directly boosting the Heavenward Sect's reputation. If he participates, he must be the first.
This would bring about an extremely significant effect.
"No rush."
The Sect Master of the Heavenward Sect stood on the grandstand, his eyes narrowing slightly as he gazed at the projection in the air, deep in thought, and said, "That Spellcaster, Chen Qiu, is Zhao Yishi's new friend from the Celestial Path Secret Realm."
"Zhao Yishi's friend is the Heavenward Sect's friend."
"Chen Qiu hasn't joined any sect yet and is a Loose Cultivator. If I send Zhao Yishi to recruit Chen Qiu, he will most likely not refuse to join the Heavenward Sect, after all, even though our sect has declined, we are still one of the top sects in Great Xia."
"If we can recruit Chen Qiu into the Heavenward Sect, not only will he likely achieve a good result for our sect in this year's 'Sect Disciple Martial Arts Tournament,' but..."
"Just imagine..."
"If these two grow in the future, a World-Class Body Cultivator and a Heaven-Drawing Spellcaster, wouldn't they be invincible?"
"And I never thought that the former top Sword Cultivator of Great Xia hadn't perished, but his cultivation had declined significantly. He's also without a sect. If we can convince the Supreme Elder to come out of seclusion and withstand the pressure from the Capital Zhang Family, we could take this person into our sect."
"You should know about his talent in the Sword Dao. A few years ago, he and Ji Taiping were regarded as the most likely candidates in Great Xia to achieve Nascent Soul through the Sword Dao!"
"If we can help him restore his cultivation..."
"Then, in the future—"
"The Heavenward Sect will have one World-Class Body Cultivator, one Heaven-Drawing Spellcaster, and one Unmatched Swordmaster!"
"Isn't it just a matter of time before the Heavenward Sect thrives?"
"After I pass away, my memorial tablet can be placed at the highest position in the Heavenward Sect's ancestral hall!"
The excitement in the Heavenward Sect Master's voice grew as he spoke, already envisioning the scene of three Peak Core Formation experts, clad in long robes embroidered with the sect's emblem, overlooking the masses. As the sect master, if he could lead the sect to such heights, it would be a death without regrets!
"It's decided!"
The Heavenward Sect Master slapped his thigh, his voice filled with enthusiasm and excitement. "Let Zhao Yishi leave the sect to travel the world. As for Chen Qiu, although we don't know where he is now, a child of Heaven's Pride like him can't stay hidden forever. He will definitely reveal himself in the future!"
"Once we find Chen Qiu's whereabouts, we'll create an opportunity for Zhao Yishi to meet him."
"Remember, don't be too deliberate. Don't tell Zhao Yishi anything, and don't reveal any hint of recruitment. These children of Heaven's Pride often have proud personalities and dislike people with ulterior motives approaching them."
"Zhao Yishi is a simple-minded child. Just let him do as he pleases, and as long as he builds a good relationship, the rest will fall into place, won't it?"
"Such a child of Heaven's Pride can't remain a loose cultivator for life, right?"
"I have a premonition—"
"I can almost see the scene of the Heavenward Sect's name resounding throughout the Great Xia Nation."
"The Heavenward Sect will surely flourish!"
In a mountain gorge within the Heavenward Sect's territory, Zhao Yishi lay with his mouth full of spring water, nestled in a crevice. He simultaneously activated the "Invisibility Technique" and "Disguise Technique," blending his body seamlessly with the surrounding nature.
Only his mouth, filled with spring water, remained visible.
From the side, it looked like a hot spring, no matter the angle.
At that moment, several maidens, clad in thin veils, were frolicking in the hot spring.
"Sister, how did you find such a hidden hot spring?"
"Yes, and the temperature of this hot spring is just right, very comfortable. The surrounding scenery is also beautiful. If only I could live here every day, but my master keeps pushing me to practice the sword. I can only sneak out occasionally, and it's so annoying."
"Shh, keep your voice down. This is the Heavenward Sect's territory. I also stumbled upon this place by chance while chasing a wild rabbit. If we make too much noise, we might attract the Heavenward Sect's patrolling disciples, and we'll be expelled."
"Look, sister, the hot spring water is bubbling."
"You're just not used to it. Every hot spring bubbles."
Zhao Yishi listened to the playful voices of the maidens above while relishing the momentary peace. He enjoyed this kind of life—quiet and serene.
Just then—
A communication bracelet embedded in his wisdom tooth transmitted an urgent mission from the sect.
"Sigh."
Zhao Yishi, who had been reluctant to get up, contemplated the severity of disobeying orders and heaved a long sigh. He slowly rose from the mountain gorge, towering like a giant.
