Chapter 7: Clear Sword Peak

[Clear Heaven Sect]

The Clear Heaven is one of the sects in the Eastern Region. In fact, it is the Overlord Force in the Eastern Region.

Many children of different families gathered competing to win admission to the sect, however, only a select few entered the sect.

A week ago information about the demonic sect's taking humans as sacrifices reached the Sect's ear. As an overlord sect in the Eastern Region, the Clear Heaven Sect is the leading force in the fight against demonic cultivators, especially Elder Maxwell.

As soon as he received the information, Elder Maxwell had left the sect. This had worried the sect master. It's because, even after a week, there is still no communication with the grand elder. "As the most powerful and prominent sect in the Eastern Region, we will be in trouble if we lose Elder Maxwell." The sect master, Rodwell sighed to himself. "Over these years, many forces have been appearing out of nowhere. Our spies report movements from all the sects." His gaze fell on the elders present. This was a meeting. There were eight elders on the meeting hall. All of them had aura's at the Spirit Tempering Realm.

"Sect Master, based on recent information, the other sects are likely to attack us in 10 time at least. We must prepare for the worst".another Elder said. The other elders nodded. This was Elder Ratto.

50 years ago, he had saved the sect master and as compensation, he was given the Elder's position. He saw just a rouge cultivator at that time and needed a place to belong to, so he didn't refuse the position.

He now had a cultivation lower than the Sect Leader and Grand Elder, 7th Stage of Spirit Tempering Realm. He always wanted the Grand Elder's position, but he was not enough.

That was when demonic sects and other sects in the Eastern Region came to him. They only wanted one thing. Weaken the Clear Heaven Sect from the inside. As someone who saved the sect master, he would be the most trustworthy person in the sect so the plan was successful.

Over the years Elder Ratto had stolen treasures from the sect and handed them to his backers. That had cause a decline in the sect.

A weak ago, a plan to lure Elder Maxwell out and besiege him had been issued. No one would have thought that this man talking about strengthening the sect is in fact the one destroying it from the inside.

"Yes. Most of our core disciples are close to the Core Formation Realm." " We should give our all to nature them and bring them to the Spirit Tempering Realm in 10 years worth of time." But that won't be easy with our current resources"."sect leader, what do we do?" Several elders said.

Some had gloomy expressions on their faces. The sect master thought for a moment. Then he said. "Elders, Bring all the disciples into the Spiritual Spring Pond. From today, all the Elders will protect the disciples while they breakthrough uninterrupted."

He knew it. If you disturb a person while they are busy cultivating, they may go to Qi Deviation and die right after. It is important to avoid disturbing them.

The elders nodded. "As for Elder Maxwell." The sect master looked out and said. "He might have fallen into a predicament. We should have already received news from him by now. We should prepare for the worst." He didn't say anything about giving the Grand Elders position to anyone. Elder Ratto was inwardly furious. But he didn't reveal it.

The elders left leaving the sect master alone. At this moment, the sect master felt a familiar aura approaching. Quickly, he stood up and ran out and flew to the Clear Sword Peak.

[Clear Sword Peak]

As soon as Elder Maxwell arrived at the Clear Heaven Sect, he had concealed his arrival. He brought Lennon with him to site see the Clear Sword Peak.

Lennon was mesmerized by the seen on this sect. The Clear Heaven Sect was built in a mountain. The mountain had nine peaks surrounding the core area of the sect.

There are beautiful lush flowers, grasland and tall trees. When a person comes to the Clear Heaven Sect, they will first need to climb the stairs that lead to the gate of the outer area. To enter the inner sect, you would need to pass through a bridge.

The largest area is the outer sect area with thousands of houses. One room has 4 disciples each. One can imagine just how many people are living there. In the inner area, there are at least 300 Houses. While the Core Area has tens. This is also the area were the Sect Leader lives. This are contains the most precious treasures of the sect.

For example. There is the Spirit Gathering Hall. It is a hall that has a pond inside. There are formations that gather Qi from the outside and absorb it it into the Spiritual Pond. That's how the spiritual Qi upon condensing becomes a water substance and forms the Spiritual Spring Pond.

The peaks also had their own areas that make them important. He was really impressed by the way the sect looked. He also questioned the old man about the internal situation of the sect. He didn't want to be troubled by internal strife.

"You will be living here." The old man pointed at small house at a distance. The Clear Sword Peak is really really ordinary looking. There are only four houses and arounding them are spiritual plants, grass and flowers. It is clear that the old man is a loner who who farms spiritual plants and cuts the grass to pass the time.

Lennon nodded. The old man explained. "These houses are, the Pill House, Weapon House, Kitchen House and My House. I don't have much time to live so I am giving you my house to live in." His gaze fell onto the other houses and he said." The pill house has all my research in alchemy and the Weapon House has my weapon research and treasures I've refined. "

He gazed at Lennon. He wanted to say something, but before he can say it, Lennon replied." Don't worry, I will take good care of them. I don't think I will even need much. You don't have to worry. " Lennon was smart.

The old man had used his Qi to open the barrier of the Clear Sword Peak. This had caused his dispersing Qi to disperse even faster. His life force was quicky draining even faster. He had also used his Qi to control the Clear Sky Sword when they were coming. At that time, Lennon didn't say anything.

He could see that this old man was ready to die. He just wanted to do his best to bring Lennon to his sect and give him his legacy.

Maxwell smiled to himself. He could see that this boy can read the situation. Swish. The Clear Sky Sword appeared on his hand. At this moment, he cut of his connection with his sword. Pfft. He coughed up a mounth full of blood.

His aura became even more weaker and his voice became even more shaky. "You, Yo. Young Man, take it. Th. This is my signature weapon." His face was pale. His lifespan, which had been at least months fell like a meteor.

He was serious. Even Lennon had no choice to accept it. This old man was way too pitiful. "Sigh". Lennon sighed to himself.

He took the sword and looked at the old man with a strange expression. Inwardly, he asked himself. 'would I be like this one day?'. He didn't believe it.

He wouldn't let himself fall into such a state. "Ha. Ha. Ha. I can now die in piece." Old Maxwell laughed loudly. He had a joyous look on his face as if he got a valentine gift.

"Young Man, I am going. I won't be coming back." He turned around and walked towards the gate of the Clear Sword Peak. When he was at the gate, he gazed back at Lennon and their gazes met. "Keep carefree and live freely." He continued to walk out of the gate. On the ground near Lennon was the tokenthat opens the barrier. Lennon looked at the direction that the old man left.

"Now I have a sect to protect me while I accumulate strength. Before anything big happens, I must reach the peak of Body Tempering Realm.

He took the token on the ground and placed it in his robes. Then at the same time, he pulled out another token from his robe. It was the one he got from the ancient Beast Secret Realm. At this moment, space shifted and at the same time. His body disappeared completely.
