The Lightning Driver
Chapters. 19. The Sky Dragon Sect
The four human shadows moved swiftly leaving Xia Yu City unbeknownst to anyone. They were Grandfather Zhou, Hua Mei, Gou Long and Murong Qiu.
This trip, deliberately they do at night so as not to attract attention. They also choose not to wear horses when out of the city, this will make it easier for them to move freely.
They traveled through the night non-stop, only taking a short break in the morning, then resuming the journey.
The Heavenly Dragon Sect that could usually be reached within two days of traveling, this time, they could shorten the time to a day less, the entourage did not slow down in the slightest when traveling.
***
The Heavenly Dragon Sect was a first-rate Sect for the Southern Region, with a very strategic position.
The sect was established at the Peak of the Mountain, where the Mountain itself was named Dragon Mountain, because the Mountain was very tall with a shape resembling the head of a sleeping Dragon.
The peak of Dragon Mountain had beautiful little hills with abundant natural energy, on top of these hills stood the buildings of the Heavenly Dragon Sect.
To reach the Peak of Dragon Mountain had been made a spiral staircase with hundreds of number of rungs that culminated in the sect gate. Above the gate inscribed with gallant inscription “Sekte Dragon Sky.” Giving an impression of the authority of the sect itself.
The Heavenly Dragon Sect had stood since thousands of years ago, The number of their disciples were numerous with varying degrees.
In these few years, since Song Ki had served as the new Patriarch of the sect, Song Ki had brought about a major change, especially in terms of recruiting new disciples.
He set the policy, each new recruit was not determined the level of his cultivation, after registering and being declared to pass the sect entrance examination, he said, if his talent was good enough and determined to be strong then he would be declared a temporary outer disciple and have the opportunity to become a core disciple.
Do not say, even though it is only the outer disciples of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, the prestige is already very high for the South.
The advantages obtained by outer sect disciples were also extremely outstanding, with the average cultivation in the Early Stage Earth Realm, as well as the resources the sect provided were also extremely abundant.
The new arrangement of Song Ki, and the formation of the Heavenly Dragon Outer Sect gave tremendous blessings to the Southern Region. So that in just a few years, the Sky Dragon Sect was developing very rapidly, also giving rise to many new talents in the foothills area of Dragon Mountain.
The Heavenly Dragon Sect had several Elders with very legendary names. For example, Song Ki is the Patriarch and all policies are determined by him. But, the outer disciples did not know Song Ki's face, they only knew his name.
Just like people who know Dragons, but have never seen real Dragons.
As was the case with some Sect Elders, their names were extremely famous in the sect. But, they were very mysterious, reportedly the cultivation of these Elders had already reached the Heavenly Realm.
These elders headed their respective fields, Elder Zhou Yun or Grandfather Zhou headed the Library Sect Bureau, Elder Mu Yuan headed the Law Enforcement Bureau, Elder Yang Chen headed the Outer Sect, Elder Yang Chen headed the Outer Sect, and Elder Liu Kang who heads the Artifact and Pill Warehouse.
Among these Elders, Grandpa Zhou became the least favored by the other Elders, in their view Grandpa Zhou had the lowest cultivation, the most, but Grandfather Zhou was also the most respected by Patriarch Song.
In reality, among all the Sect Elders, Grandpa Zhou was the most mysterious person, both in terms of behavior, Silat Science and cultivation. Perhaps only Patriarch Song knew, that Grandfather Zhou's cultivation was the highest among all of them.
He was in a different realm so when he got along with people, no one could guess the realm of his cultivation. There was a guess in the Sky Realm, there was a guess in the Heavenly Realm.
Fortunately, Grandpa Zhou's temperament was not as sadistic as his youth. He is too lazy to take care of small things like maintaining ego and big names.
When Grandpa Zhou's group returned to the sect, many facial expressions looked at them. Grandfather Zhou paid no heed to it, he directly escorted Gou Long to the male disciple residence as well as gave Gou Long an inner disciple identity token.
Grandfather Zhou also advised, that Gou Long report to the Library Bureau and the Bureau of Artifacts so that he could obtain the Book of Martial Arts and resources for cultivation. Then he took Murong Qiu and Hua Mei away with him.
The sect-determined residence for Gou Long, was located on a small hill that was four hundred spears away with the Main Sect area. There, stood three simple huts, two of which were already occupied by disciples who had already entered the sect first.
The place was beautiful with abundant natural aura, ten spears were from the hut there was a small stream as well as a courtyard where to practice.
When Grandpa Zhou left Gou Long there, the two old students immediately introduced themselves, they tried to familiarize themselves with the new college sister.
One of these two disciples was named Ye Xuan, his person was too active and excited. While the oldest one there was named He Fei, he was a little introverted and too serious, a person who did not speak much, was completely inversely proportional to Ye Xuan.
The frenzied Ye Xuan explained many things about the sect to Gou Long. Ye Xuan also explained that, the first one to stay on this hill was that He Fei.
“Junior college! This Wood Rod! He is always stiff and not engrossed in conversation,” Ye Xuan said, pointing at He Fei and teasing him.
“Junior! If there is a problem of something, I will defend you,” continued Ye Xuan while patting her own chest.
“Good! Junior will always remember and ask senior college help!” Gou Long also replied in a friendly manner.
“Junior rest first! Eliminate fatigue and stretch back tired muscles after a long trip! Don't listen too much to this bucket. You will be left far behind if you hear this Bucket talking too often!” He Fei interrupted the conversation between Gou Long and Ye Xuan, warning Gou Long of Ye Xuan's nature.
At first, Gou Long was a little cautious, but when the two seniors were being friendly and welcoming Gou Long well. That prudence simply disappeared, Gou Long was carried away by the atmosphere that Ye Xuan created.
During that brief introduction Gou Long also asked about the cultivation realm of his two seniors, and his answer was truly shocking, both of his seniors were in the same realm as Gou Long.
“Really the Sky Dragon Sect harbors many talents! The disciples who had only joined for a year or two were already in the Late Stage Earth Realm,” amazed Gou Long inwardly.
Such was the stale and brief introduction between the fellow disciples on the Mount.
