A Sect?

It had been almost 1 week since Gu Long stayed at the Bright Blue city inn. His special badge had also been given to him the day after he settled into the inn. During his 1 week in Gu Long City, he had gathered some useful information for him as well.

The most important information is the current year. At first, Gu Long thought that he had awakened only a few thousand years after the battle against the mythical beasts. It turned out that what Gu Long didn't expect was that the war took place hundreds of thousands of years ago. After the tearing of the earth and heaven dao, the world seemed to have lost the energy to cultivate. The past cultivation era disappeared and became an era of darkness.

What Gu Long didn't expect was that when all the supreme powers of the races joined hands to try to save all sentient beings from mythical beasts several groups called themselves saviors spreading the news that the battles were fought by peak cultivators against mythical beasts were lost. and resulted in the tearing of the Dao.

Apart from spreading false news about the defeat of the cultivators, this group also erased some of the histories that recorded the development of cultivation science and resulted in a decline in the world's cultivation development.

Although Gu Long had no definite information from this, he was able to deduce to such detail with just a little information he had.

Because the first information he got while searching this city was that the world is currently divided into regions where each region is at war with each other. And even besides wars between regions, there were also wars between races which were impossible in the past.

In addition to the emergence of a new system called the state which sounded foreign to Gu Long's ears. There is also a new system called a sect. Gu Long also found this strange because at that time people would compete to spread the findings from their research on cultivation so that more people were strong and could protect each other from the attacks of wild beasts.

But at this time not only did they limit the people who could cultivate, they even competed against each other, not only bringing each other down but even killing each other or massacring families as well. This result greatly made Gu Long who lived in the past extremely disappointed and furious over the development of this world.

As Gu Long was contemplating in the room where he was staying he thought about how to improve the state of the world that had gone off the path he had hoped for.

It was then that he suddenly remembered the words of one of his friends.

'If you can't do it alone, then do it together. If you can't do two, do three. If three, four, even five can't. So do it together with many people until you can tear the will of heaven itself'

As those words crossed Gu Long's mind he then thought of an idea that he couldn't have imagined in the past.

"Maybe I should teach people to help me straighten the world?"

Meanwhile elsewhere...

"Master there is a report from the person we ordered to oversee the battlefield forest that the center of the 7-colored heavenly lightning that occurred a few days ago was the central part of the battlefield forest. Since the master had warned us never to approach the center, no one would dare to approach that place. However, some people feel there is a very large but strange energy fluctuation." A beautiful woman with jet black hair and the appearance of a goddess spoke towards a green curtain that was slowly waving in the wind.

When the woman finished saying her words, no sound came out from behind the curtains. The woman wondered what was it that the person she was talking to didn't respond, but she didn't dare to say any unnecessary words in front of the person behind the curtain.

Just as he was preparing to leave the room suddenly the curtain slowly opened revealing a very ordinary interior. Inside the room was an old wooden chair that looked worn out. On it a person sat with his hands on his chin, his head drooping limply like an unconscious man.

But when one looked at that person one would feel a black hole sucking them in like darkness from hell. When the woman saw an old man who was in the room she reflexively immediately saluted using both knees.

"Students pay their respects to master. It's been a long time I haven't seen master, may heaven always be with your long life" While cupping his hands forward.

The man who didn't seem to have the strength to even straighten his head slowly opened his previously closed eyes. As his eyes opened a dazzling light that embarrassed even the brightest stars appeared in his eyes.

The sharpness of the eyes that the old man had was like betraying the old figure who was sitting languidly in the old chair. He looked at the beautiful woman who was paying his respects in front of him and a slight smile appeared on his completely wrinkled face.

"You've grown quite a bit since you were last here" The old man muttered, sounding a little sad but proud.

Hearing the words of the old man in front of her the woman was so excited that her body trembled with the pride she felt. He Lelu raised his head to look at the old man on the chair.

"Without you even I have no right to dream of living in this world let alone to this point now"

"You're not that bad either." The old man replied casually. The man then slowly moved as if he was about to get up from his old chair. Seeing this the woman swiftly tried to stand up and was about to help the old man. But before he could stand up the old man waved slightly and suddenly an invisible force pressed the woman back to her knees.

"I'm not too old to have to be helped just to get up from my own chair." When the old man finished speaking he stood up with a slight bow. He moved his gaze in a direction and his vision penetrated hundreds of thousands of kilometers, after a moment of looking in that direction he then waved his wrinkled hand. As he finished waving his hand the beautiful woman suddenly fell from her kneeling position and slumped weakly on the ground gasping for air.

Seeing this the old man didn't seem to care and spoke to the woman.

"Although your cultivation level will reach a high level, you still have much to learn about the dao of earth and heaven" The old man muttered. The woman who was still drooping limply on the ground tried to answer modestly.

"Uh-huh, okay sir"

"Alright now prepare the flying carriage and elders, I want to take a little trip to the central continent"

"Yes sir"

...

Meanwhile on the central continent in the city closest to the battlefield forest.

Gu Long was leisurely strolling the bustling market in this small town. In the corner of a small alley, he saw a boy lying in a pitiful state. His eyes were closed, his mouth was open, he was breathing like he was afraid that the air would leave him if he didn't inhale with all his might. His body was full of wounds, new wounds, old wounds, bruises, cuts. Almost every kind of wound was on his body.

Seeing this, Gu Long suddenly remembered the past of humans before they knew cultivation. At that time a lot of people hiding underground died from hunger, illness, fighting for food between humans, and many more. He then slowly walked over to the boy and crouched right beside him.

Even though it was near a lively marketplace, the place where the child was lying was slightly hidden in the bustle of the bustling market crowd causing very few people to notice.

Gu Long then looked at the boy closely and pointed his palm up. Suddenly a waiter appeared out of nowhere and began to gather into a one-drop-sized ball of water. Gulong then slowly controlled the water and aimed it at the little boy's mouth. Something that looked like water easily got into the boy's mouth.

When the fluid entered, no changes occurred to the child's body. In fact, suddenly his breathing became slower and slower. What used to be the lungs in the chest work together with the mouth and nose to try to inhale as much air as possible. Now it's slowly starting to slow down. And not long after that he suddenly stopped breathing.

Seeing this, Gu Long slightly shook his head and slowly stood up. He then walked away in another direction from the place. Just before he left the place Gu Long muttered slightly.

"If indeed we are matched later, hopefully, this can help you get to that point" Gu Long then snapped his fingers and something appeared in the empty space and shot towards the unconscious child. The thing moved very quickly and entered through the middle between the boy's eyebrows.
