After triumphantly leaving the Valley of Spiritual Beasts, Wu Yun returned to the Divine Sword Clan, with his chest filled with confidence and determination. His grandfather, Master Lian, smiled as he saw him and noticed the change in his grandson.
"You're different, Wu Yun. Your aura is stronger and more assured," said Master Lian with an approving look. "It's remarkable how much you've grown in the Valley of Spiritual Beasts."
Wu Yun felt grateful for his grandfather's words.
"Thank you, grandfather. I learned a lot there and feel more prepared than ever to follow my path in cultivation."
Master Lian nodded.
"That's good to hear, young one. But you must not become complacent. There's much more to be achieved. I'm thinking of something that can accelerate your progress even further."
Intrigued, Wu Yun looked at his grandfather with curiosity.
"What do you suggest, grandfather?"
Master Lian smiled and replied,
"The Ancient Dragon Sect is one of the most prestigious sects in the Yuan Continent. There, cultivators have access to advanced resources and techniques that help them grow rapidly. If you enter the outer sect, you'll have unique opportunities to enhance your skills and reach a new level in cultivation."
Wu Yun's eyes lit up at the prospect of joining such a powerful sect. He had always dreamed of becoming an exceptional cultivator and was willing to face any challenge to achieve that goal.
"Grandfather, I want to try!" declared Wu Yun with determination.
"I will do my best to be accepted into the Ancient Dragon Sect."
Master Lian nodded approvingly.
"Very well, Wu Yun. Your enthusiasm is admirable. But know that the test to enter the outer sect won't be easy. The competition is fierce, and only the best are selected. You'll need to showcase your abilities and talent to impress the sect masters."
Wu Yun knew it wouldn't be a simple task, but he was willing to face any challenge.
"I will train tirelessly and prepare for the test. With your guidance, I'm sure I can succeed."
"I'll be by your side every step of the way, Wu Yun. You are my pride, and I know you'll become an outstanding cultivator," said Master Lian affectionately.
In the following days, Wu Yun devoted himself fully to training. He spent hours practicing his sword techniques and refining his spiritual Qi. His grandfather guided him, ensuring he didn't make any mistakes, passing on his knowledge as an experienced blacksmith and martial artist.
Finally, the day of the Ancient Dragon Sect's test arrived. Wu Yun was anxious and nervous but confident in his abilities. He joined a crowd of candidates, all eager to impress the sect masters and elders.
As the test progressed, Wu Yun demonstrated his skill in the art of the sword and his cultivation proficiency. His performance caught the attention of the elders, who saw an exceptional brilliance in his eyes.
After several rounds of evaluations, the sect elders gathered to make a decision. Wu Yun's heart pounded as he waited for the verdict.
Finally, one of the elders announced:
"Wu Yun, you impressed everyone with your abilities. We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted into the Ancient Dragon Sect as an outer disciple!"
A wave of emotion and joy flooded Wu Yun. He couldn't believe he had achieved his goal. With gratitude in his heart, he bowed in respect to the sect elders.
Thus, Wu Yun's journey in the Ancient Dragon Sect was about to begin. He was ready to face new challenges, meet loyal allies, and enhance his skills on the path of cultivation. His destiny was about to intertwine with the world of sects, and he was prepared to embrace this new and exciting journey.
