ch 219 – Plotted Against By The Relatives; An Attack At Midnight (4)
“Big sister, nothing serious!”
“Alright, just tell me. What is it?”
“Big sister, as you know, the nine top sects will be recruiting for disciples in six months. I would like to join into the top of the nine schools — Xiaoyao, and eventually joined Pillar’s Clan of Magical Sword of Kunlunn.
Almost everybody on this continent looked up to the Clan of Magical Sword. Countless young talents wanted to join the leader of the four powers, Pillars’ Clan of Magical Sword.
Legend had it that Pillar was the founder of the Clan o Magical Sword. Pillar was his Taoist name. Back in the days, he has spent several hundred of years in establishing the Clan of Magical Sword, then took off and nobody knew where he went.
But he had already made a name for himself and people were still talking about him tens and thousands of years afterward. And countless of generations after him wished to follow the footsteps of his disappearance.
That included Cheng Zheng Yuan in front of her right now. When he talked about Pillar’s Clan of Magical Sword, it was obvious from the look of both desire and determination that the Clan of Magical Sword was his ultimate goal.
By now Cheng Xiao Xiao was already quite versed in all the different powers on this continent, naturally she had heard of Pillar’s Clan of Magical Sword. She had also heard of the top four powers One Clan, One Temple, One Palace, One Valley – Pillar’s Clan of Magical Sword, a flying sword that slaughters all devils; Temple of Divine Plans, readers of the divine plans; Palace of Mystical Beasts, followings of all mystical beasts; and Valley of Alchemists, making the best dan medicines and magical items.
One could say that these four places controlled this entire continent. Their statuses deeply rooted and impossible to topple and it had been that way the past tens and thousands of years. Their distinguished existence was well established.
Right now, Pillar’s Clan of Magical Sword was a great choice for Cheng Zheng Yuan, who was very fond of swordsmanship. But it would be difficult for him to join with this current status. These four powers only recruit ones with genius talents in their respective fields once every five years and their spots were very limited. Not everyone would be accepted simply because they wanted to join.
Even when there are available spots, they still have try outs; they would not accept anyone who didn’t meet their standards.
Even so, every year countless of talented young men and women still fight to shoot for this near-impossible feat.
First of all, to be qualified for a spot to get tested, one must first join one of the Top Nine Sects, as they would hold all the applicant spots. So, if Cheng Biyuan has his mind set on the Clan of Magical Sword, joining one of the Top Nine Sects would be his natural next move.
Suddenly Cheng Biyuan seemed to have thought of something. With a happy look, he said, “Big sister, you are a Master Beast Tamer, it should be a piece of cake for you to join Palace of Mystical Beasts. Will you be joining them, big sister?”
“Palace of Mystical Beasts?” Cheng Xiao Xiao thought about it for a second, and remembered Gong Zixuan whom she had met once. She had given her a jade badge and asked her to go visit her; could that be what she had in mind?
“Big sister!”
“Oh?” Seeing her brother looking at her inquisitively, she couldn’t help but laughed, “I don’t have any plans for that right now. I think I will stay home for a while longer and think about this at a later time!”
Cheng Xiao Xiao didn’t care too much about the so-called four top powers or the Palace of Mystical Beasts. In her mind, she wouldn’t be any worst off than them once the dimension levelled up.
In addition, she didn’t think she would be able to continue keeping the dimension a secret if she go live under someone else’s roof.
It’d be safer for her to stay at Willow, at least for the time being.
“Big sister, you don’t want to join Palace of Mystical Beasts?” Cheng Zheng Yuan looked at his older sister incredulously.
Everyone viewed joining one of the top four powers as the utmost honor. Once one get inside their doors, not only would one’s family be able to enjoy the benefit of being protected, even the country would be rewarded, which was what made it so enticing to join the top four powers.
