Vast Wave Realm.
The Divine Light Sect.
The continual ringing of the morning bells awakens all the disciples, leaving them refreshed and engrossed in the practice of Qi Refinement.
The sound of morning exercises reverberates throughout the sect.
Full of vitality.
Atop the Seven Colors Peak, Qi Yuan is lying on his bed; the sound of the morning bells seeming particularly piercing to his ears as he covers them with his hands.
The wooden puppet cat also slightly opens its mouth and emits a sound.
"Time to get up!"
"Time to get up!"
Qi Yuan waves his hand, stuffing a small dried fish into the wooden puppet cat's mouth to silence it.
He changes his position, settling comfortably back to sleep.
Indeed, he sleeps in while the sun is high - who else but a celestial being, would I be!
After an unknown period, Qi Yuan leisurely wakes up.
He takes in a deep breath of fresh air.
"Hmm, the air of this different world is so sweet and fragrant."
Originally, Qi Yuan was a part of the countless population of the Blue Star, transmigrated to this world half a year ago.
Unlike his previous world, this world has extraordinary beings, it has Cultivators.
By chance, Qi Yuan joined the Divine Light Sect, becoming a disciple of Seven Colors Peak, and its only disciple.
After finishing his morning grooming routine, Qi Yuan, neatly dressed, gets up and leaves his courtyard.
Yesterday, the master passed down a message, instructing him to do some tasks.
Qi Yuan, standing halfway up the mountain, looks towards the peak; towering into the clouds, filled with immortal aura.
Qi Yuan glances at the palace in the clouds, and murmurs, "Another day to miss my master."
The clouds atop the peak ripple momentarily and then vanish, as if nothing had happened.
The master resides at the top of the peak, and has ordered Qi Yuan not to ascend.
Qi Yuan didn't see the gathering and dispersing of the clouds at the peak and instead descends the Seven Colors Peak.
Today, it's the disciple acceptance ceremony of the Divine Light Sect.
He is about to represent the Seven Colors Peak, one of the five peaks at the Divine Light Sect, to recruit disciples.
The vast Seven Colors Peak only has one useless disciple, him, which the sect somewhat disagrees with.
Of course, because the Peak Master of the Seven Colors Peak is powerful, those objections are kept to themselves.
However, now even the Peak Master of the Seven Colors Peak has objections to Qi Yuan, which is why these additional disciples are to be recruited.
Qi Yuan slowly descends the Seven Colors Peak.
At the halfway point of the mountain, Qi Yuan pauses.
There's a massive tree here, several feet tall; looking down from above...
"This is an ordinary grass. However, three days ago, the True Duke of Withered Wood and the Empress Dashang had an assignation here."
Qi Yuan is under the big tree. He glances at the tender, vibrant grass, as a string of text floats across his mind.
He pauses.
If he remembered correctly, when he came here a few days ago, he saw...
"This is a common piece of grass. However, four days ago, a wild dog urinated on it."
"This patch of grass is quite interesting."
Once Qi Yuan embarked on his journey of Qi Refinement, he found that his eyes seemed a bit off - they could see things others couldn't.
For example, the first time he looked at the cultivation technique his master gave him.
Seven Colors Fire Refinement Technique.
What he saw was...
"This is a spirit-level cultivation technique, with a total of 1371 obvious flaws and a number of other undiscovered flaws.
If you cultivate this to a supreme state, you will become a certain unmentionable entity's sustenance."
Qi Yuan stood there, stunned, as he read the messages.
Then he went to look at other cultivation techniques.
Most of them were about the same.
The supreme state?
Sustenance?
Seems far away?
Not something a small Qi cultivator like him should be considering.
Of course, his cultivation level had also reached a plateau at the Qi Refinement stage.
Because, according to what his eyes revealed, once he broke through his current cultivation level, he would solidify his status as sustenance.
Therefore, today's Qi Yuan is constantly seeking an appropriate cultivation technique, and working hard for this purpose.
...
The Sect Hall was filled with divine radiance.
Kang Fulu, white haired, hovered mid-air with a whisk in his hand.
Behind him, the eldest disciples of the other peaks stood firm.
Kang Fulu gazed at the hundreds of new disciples who had just passed the assessment and showed a satisfied look.
However, thinking of something, he slowly asked, "Hasn't the person from Seven Colors Peak arrived yet?"
"Brother Kang, you know the character of the elder brother from Seven Colors Peak..." a man in a golden robe spoke in a low voice.
Kang Fulu, upon hearing this, fell silent.
At that moment, a voice was heard: "Elder Brother Qi Yuan of Seven Colors Peak is here."
With that voice, Qi Yuan, clad in a white robe, appeared before everyone's eyes. Standing tall, carrying a jade pendant, he arrived with the light shining on him.
Many disciples of the Divine Light Sect, along with the newly initiated disciples, looked at Qi Yuan with varied expressions.
"Who would have thought Senior Brother Qi Yuan would descend from the mountain!"
"He's more handsome than what the rumours suggest…by threefold."
"It's a pity, such a fine figure, yet…"
"Yet what?"
"He behaves oddly, he has mental problems!"
"What?"
"Actually that's not quite right, he just has a different practice from others. He belongs to the 'obsessed' branch, and all cultivators of this lineage have quite unique personalities!"
"A madman in the world of Cultivation? Better to avoid provoking."
"Even though he's a bit crazy, he's a true genius with profound insights in cultivation. Many senior brothers and sisters even seek his advice on cultivation issues."
The disciples below were all conversing, and many of them looked at Qi Yuan with peculiar looks.
In the Vast Wave Realm, there are three types of people that shouldn't be provoked.
First, don't provoke a physician; second, don't provoke a Sword Cultivator; third, don't provoke an Obsessed Cultivator.
Physicians wield medical skills and can heal the injured and save the dying.
Any cultivator could get injured in a magical battle at any time and would need a physician to heal them quickly, hence one should not provoke a physician.
Besides, physicians are usually good at concocting deadly poisons and venomous pills that can kill in a hidden way. It's better not to offend them.
Sword Cultivators have tremendous combat power and decisiveness in killing. If possible, it's better not to provoke them.
Yet, Obsessed Cultivators are quite unique.
Cultivators of this lineage obsessed with a single thing.
It might be a sword, a flower, or even a person.
The extreme obsession implies mental problems.
These cultivators are difficult to deal with, who knows when a mental patient will suddenly go mad?
Qi Yuan is one of such Obsessed Cultivators.
"Junior Brother Qi Yuan, you are somewhat late," Kang Fulu said softly.
"I stayed up late last night," Qi Yuan yawned.
The eldest disciples from the other peaks remained silent after seeing this.
Kang Fulu said, "Since everyone's here, let's start admitting disciples."
At present, the square was filled with disciples who had just passed the entrance assessment.
These eldest disciples of the different peaks were responsible for selecting disciples and incorporating them into their respective peaks.
Kang Fulu stepped forward and looked at the hundreds of new disciples below, then spoke slowly.
"Divine Light Sect is one among the three great Cultivation sects of Dashang."
"Congratulations, everyone, for passing the tests. From now on, you are disciples of the Divine Light Sect."
Hundreds of young boys and girls on the field listened to this and felt a bit excited.
After all, Divine Light Sect is one of the three most powerful Cultivation Sects in Dashang.
Once you join the sect, you become an exceptional person.
Kang Fulu was quite pleased with the performance of the crowd. He continued to speak.
"Divine Light Sect has five peaks, you can choose to join any one of them."
"This is Zhuge Miao, the eldest disciple of God Medicine Peak."
"This is Xu Yiyi, the eldest disciple of All Dharma Peak."
"This is Qi Yuan, the eldest disciple of Seven Colours Peak."
"This is the Wild Man, the eldest disciple of Battle Peak."
"I am Kang Fulu, the sole disciple of the Peak Master of Five Radiance Peak, son-in-law of the Sect Master of Divine Light Sect, the embodiment of the Five Radiance Holy Method, the founder of the Lesser Sunlight Technique, and the Chief Disciple of Five Radiance Peak."
As white-haired Kang Fulu spoke, five divine colored lights shone on top of his head, making him look incredibly radiant and noticeable.
Yes, Kang Fulu, he was also known as the most noticeable package of Five Radiance Peak.
