The guards lead Yu Xiao inside to where the Blue Lotus Sect was located, the moment he stepped into the Blue Lotus Sects outer layer, he felt as if he'd been transported to an entirely different world with an entirely different baring. It was as if it was paradise created by the celestial being of the world, hidden away in a place where nobody would had guessed it would be, such a place was like a dream turned into reality.
Aside from the atmosphere within the Blue lotus sect, there was a key piece of information that shocked him and that was the fact that Bai Li had already arrived a few days ago. How could that be possible he barely managed to reach here within 2 and half months by swimming across the entire Blazing Sea, from there last interaction she had the cultivation of a Qi essence cultivator there was no way she'd arrive first especially after he'd reached the seven depravities realm.
This had stumped him and so he decided once he met with her again that he'd ask her how she managed to arrive so quickly, he followed the guards quietly until they arrived at a massive building that had a sigh saying 'Bai' on it.
"Sir, this is the where the Bai familiy resides we will go inform the young lady of your arrival." Said one of the guards as he went into the the Bai familiy estate to replay the information, shortly after the guard came outside with 2 people one was Bai Li, the other was an old man with white hair.
"You, are you truly the same YuXiao that mask is a new addition from the last time I saw you." Bai Li noticed the mask he'd been wearing instantly, YuXiao responded swiftly.
"Yes Immortal cultivator Bai Li, I am still that same YuXiao you met in the resentment forest."
"That mask on you is quite strange, but how'd you reach the blue lotus city so quickly it took me month to reach here with a flying treasure. You are not even a cultivator and arrived so swiftly, Mind telling me how you managed to pull it off because it takes mortals at least half a year to arrive here." Bai Li was shocked at how he'd manage to reach here so quickly, much like how he'd been curious as to how she arrived here so quickly.
"Flying treasure you say, what are those?" He asked her.
"Right your not a cultivator apart of a sect, most sects distribute treasures to the disciples and one of those are called flying treasures. As the name implies They are treasures that let you fly in the sky and you ride on them, mine is an Mystical Leaf flying treasure." explained as she took out her treasure from her space ring and demonstrated.
This was a marvelous sight for him, he'd never assumed such thing was possible but this was one of the many things he'd end up learning when entering the world of cultivation. That nothing was truly impossible in this world.
"I see what a magnificent treasure," YuXiao replied while in deep thought.
"Now mind telling me how you managed to arrive here so quickly and what even happened to you, your presence feels like its changed." She asked with morbid curiosity.
"Well at first I just went city to city in the direction of Blue Lotus City until I reached the Blazing Sea, I thought it would be much quicker if I swam across instead of around and so I did." He answered nonchalantly.
Immediately both the faces of the old man and Bai Li were filled with utter shock and disbelief
"That's not a very funny joke, only peak Nature Qi cultivator's can barely survive for 10 minutes in there." She assumed that he was joking to conceal how he really arrived here so quickly.
"I swear that I'm not joking," He was dead serious about this.
When Bai Li and the old man saw how serious he was being they became even more shocked, Then the old man finally introduced himself and wanted to place a wager.
"Hahah, thats quite funny kid. My names Bai Zhuo and I want to test you first quickly to verify if what you claimed is possible." Bai Zhuo said as he looked over at the guards and gave them some instuctions.
"Tell Bai Ning to go wait at the arena he's got someone who'd going to be challenging him," Bai Zhuo words shook Bai Li and the guards.
"Grandfather you must absolutely let him duel against Bai Ning, He'll lose his life if he does hes not even a cultivator yet!" Bai Li voiced her concerns to her Grandfather.
"If he truly did swim across the Blazing Sea then he should have nothing to worry about, Boy listen up, If you win this duel I shall pass a Sword technique down to you." Bai Zhuo smirked and tried to make the offering more enticing so he wouldn't refuse.
"A sword technique, can you tell me what its called and how powerful it is?" Yu Xiao was very interested in this sword technique, ever since he saw that sword swing by Liu Yuan and every since then he'd been very curious swords.
"This sword technique is called the 6 Mist demon sword art, and its an very powerful once practiced to a high degree. its also one of the strongest techniques the Blue Lotus Sect has to offer." Bai Zhuo puffed his chest being proud of his Sects resources. YuXiao's started to yearn for a sword and so he was looking forward to getting his first sword technique.
"Alright then, lets head over to the arena Bai Ning must be waiting there already." Bai Zhuo calmly said and started walking into the Blue Lotus sect, while Bai Li followed closely behind and still trying to get her grandfather to call off this duel.
moments later they'd arrived at a massive arena and YuXiao prepared to for his first ever battle against a human cultivator, but before he'd start he requested 10 minutes to prepare himself and naturally Bai Zhuo agreed giving him 10 minutes to prepare himself.
As he'd need it because fighting a cultivator was entirely different from the Evil spirits and much more dangerous as hes about to learn.
The thing he needed right now was a weapon for this battle, so he's attempting to forge a sword made from his Anguish Qi.
A sword that will obliterate anything on its path!
