~ Chapter 2- Ye Tian ~

Actually, They were outer court disciples of Red Plum Sect. They were assigned on this journey to assist in the battle between Red Plum Sect and Green Jade Sect. The war is active in several areas of Northern Valley. However, The area they were assigned to already got wiped out by the enemy group before they even arrived at the scene.

The Northern Valley was an independent territory composed of many tribes. But with the discovery of a legacy tomb of an expert-level character, it got into chaos. Red Plum Sect, Green Jade Sect and various small powers clashed to dominate The Northern Valley for the legacy tomb. Since then many villages and tribes of The Northern Valley were annihilated. Eventually, Green Jade Sect, by using all means captured the legacy tomb. Red Plum Sect retreated due to the fact that there were too many casualties and they just can't continue to ignore the increasing deaths of their disciples.

This group of the outer court disciples was returning back as they continue to look for any survivors.

''Since there aren't any survivors then don't waste any more time here. We are leaving.'' Ordered the leader.

They started to leave the village as they heard a yell from behind from one of the disciples.

''Leader, there is a survivor.''

The leader turned around to look at the disciple that yelled with a surprised complexion. In one of the disciple's hands, He saw a cute baby glaring curiously at the horse-like beast.

''To be able to survive after all of this, his luck is quite good.'' mumbled the leader as he saw him completely unscratched.

''We should take him to the servant's quarters of Red Plum Sect. At least, this will help him live a good life.''

The other disciples nodded in agreement. After searching the neighbouring villages, they eventually retreated back to the Red Plum Sect...

At the servant's quarter, In a shack made of wood, An elegant youth with wonderful features sat on a bed made of timber with his back upright and legs crossed.

''I'm still not able to make a breakthrough.''

He whispered with an unhappy expression as he opened his eyes. He stood up and stared at the night sky.

He was the infant that survived the war and was sent to the servant's quarters. Since then, he grew up under Red Plum Sect with the status of a servant. His name was

'Ye Tian'

He just turned 14 this year and was at the first layer of Qi Gathering

In this world, the strength of a martial artist is measured in stages.

Qi Gathering, Foundation Establishment, Qi Condensation, Core Establishment, Revolving core and Golden Core are the six stages with Qi Gathering being the lowest and Golden Core being the highest.

Each stage is further divided into nine layers with the ninth layer being the peak of that stage.

Most Servant Disciples are in the first layer of Qi Gathering. And, to qualify for an outer court disciple seat, one must be at least in the third layer of Qi Gathering.

Those who achieved the third layer of Qi Gathering despite being a servant disciple are considered to have some talent and are allowed to take part in the outer court entrance exam.
