The light dimmed and Ah Chun found herself in a thick mass of fog. It seemed that the teleportation array that sent people to the Heavenly Sword Sect was very far from the Dragon Empire. It was still early morning when they arrived at the foot of the mountain. Although the fog was thick, it was not so thick that one could not see ahead of them. Ah Chun could see that they had arrived at a small town that was situated at the base of the mountain. Even as they exited the array there were sect disciples going to and fro from the mountain entrance into the town towards the shops. Even here the shopkeepers were yelling about their special sales and other goods they were selling.
The buildings in this town were made out of stone. Ah Chun was not sure how they created these buildings since they were solid stone but she figured it was something to do with being a cultivator. She had learned from Mei Liling that besides the sects main palace that most lived in immortal caves. Except for outer sect disciples who were bunked into stone houses three to four disciples per dwelling. Inner disciples and core disciples would get an area to create their own immortal cave. Depending on your position in the sect would depend on where you would get to live.
The Heavenly Sword Sect was located in the Heavenly Mountain Range named after the sect itself and has been around for tens of thousands of years. The mountain range consisted of fifteen peaks. Twelve of those peaks were run by a respected elder and the sect master was the master of the peak that was situated in the middle of the mountain range called Divine Sword Peak. Mei Liling was special on how she was in charge of two peaks that were called the Twin Healing Peaks. Each peak had its own name that it was given when the sect was first created.
No one was allowed to take any herbs from the Twin Healing Peaks without Mei Liling's permission otherwise whether you were an elder or a disciple you would be kicked out of the sect. Even the sect master would change if they crossed Mei Liling to many times. She was considered a special case in the Heavenly Sword Sect. If anyone was to consider who was the most powerful in the Heavenly Sword Sect people would answer Mei Liling. Although most of the time she never got involved in sect matters, if a decision was made that she did not like, she could easily overturn it if she felt like it. The only reason she was not sect master was because she said: "Being sect master is too much trouble! I rather make pills and cultivate!". So even though she was not actually the sect master she was respected as if she was one.
Immortal caves location were given based on what status a disciple had. As said before outer disciples were forced to bunk three to four in a stone house. These stone houses were located near the foot of each peak. Mainly located on the first peak called Destiny Peak near the town. Outer sect disciples were made to wait on the inner sect disciples as well as core disciples. This was so that outer sect disciples could earn their livelihood as well as get free cultivation resources. Sometimes depending on who they were serving they would get a chance to cultivate higher up on the mountain were the Spiritual Qi was denser.
The middle section of the mountains was where the inner sect disciples were located and were allocated a spot to create an immortal cave. The design of the caves was based on what the disciples wanted. Since they were making it themselves.
Core disciples were mainly located on the Divine Sword Peak. This is where the Spiritual Qi is the densest in the whole Heavenly Mountain Range. The second densest area for Spiritual Qi was the Twin Healing Peaks which were located right behind the Divine Sword Peak.
Mei liling had never taken in a disciple so she was the only one who was living on the Twin Healing Peaks. When she was away from the sect she would activate an array that would lock everyone out of the two peaks. She did not want anyone to touch her precious herbs. But now that she had a daughter that was also her disciple this would change. There would now be a disciple who for the first time would have a mountain peak to themselves. Since Mei Liling was planning to give the peak she was not living on to Ah Chun to live.
Now that they had arrived at the Heavenly Sword Sect she had plans for Ah Chun to get more experience, one of those plans was to get her daughter Ah Chun to have some experience fighting other immortal cultivators. Mei Liling was going to make Ah Chun do the admissions test even though Ah Chun did not need to. Mei Liling knew this most likely would not be too hard of a test for Ah Chun, but it was still good to get in this practical experience. So when Ah Chun did missions, later on, she would know how to fend for herself when fighting enemy immortal cultivators.
