Journey to the sect

At the morning

Its morning and the Li family woke up. They went to the courtyard and saw Elder Xiao with his eagle spirit beast. Elder Xiao then said that they will be leaving. So the Li family and Elder Xiao rode the flying spirit beast and went to Myriad sword sect. On the way there was a big forest and occasionally you could see spirit beast ranging from 1st grade - 6th grade. Some spirit beast even tried to attack them but they retreated when faced with Elder Xiao's aura.

Elder Xiao explained that the forest was called spirit forest located in spirit mountain. Spirit forest was very popular since many people come here to find rare materials, herbs etc and some come to improve their combat prowess by fighting with the spirit beast's. This was also the shortest route to Myriad Sword Sect. On the way they also saw boundless mountains and at the foot of the mountain was the Kung City. This city was filled with mines and miners. The Zhang Luo mountain range was filled with precious metals and people here mined the resources. The metals are used by refiners to make various weapons and other items.

The group continued on the journey to the myriad sword sect. At that time Li Xiu was getting bored so he asked ," Elder, how long will it take to reach Myriad Sword Sect?" The elder smiled and said it will take 11 hours to go to Myriad sword sect. After 5 hours they stopped at a small place to rest. Elder Xiao, Li Yan and Zhou Lin prepare the place to sleep while the eagle spirit beast tried to hunt spirit beast for food.

At the same time

Li xiu didn't have anything to do so he meditated and circulated his qi to make his meridians and Dantian stronger. After one reaches peak of houtian all of their 81 main meridians are opened and these meridians are responsible for storing qi until Xintian stage. All of these 81 meridians are divide into 9 gates that are connected to Dantian. These 9 gates are closed until Xintian realm. Without opening these gates one can't use Dantian so can't enter Xintian. One of the greatest ability of Xintian is to use qi outside of body. Under Xintian realm one can only use qi to strengthen the body and put some qi barrier on their body parts but after entering Xintian realm one can easily manifest qi outside of body to do many things like how elder Xiao used his qi from his fingers to ignite fire. Qi also has various types which are linked to various attributes. There can be more than one type of qi in one's body. For example Elder Xiao has both fire and Sword qi. He may also have more types of qi. Types of qi are formed when you cultivate cultivation techniques. The better the cultivation technique, the better the purity and strength of the qi. So Li xiu doesn't use any cultivation technique since he can get better one at Myriad Sword Sect and this is also the reason he stayed in Xintian first stage In Xintian every one realm means opening one gate and gaining greater access to Dantian. 1st stage Xintian means Li xiu can use 1/9th of Dantian to store his qi. When one reaches peak of Xintian they will gain full access to Dantian and can turn the qi of Dantian into solid core to step into spirit core realm. For having a good foundation Li xiu is tempering his Dantian.

After the place was setup Zhou Lin called Li xiu over to help her cook. Li Xiu agreed and helped his mother cook. The eagle had hunted a 3rd grade initial stage spirit beast as Li Xiu couldn't handle the meat of higher level spirit beast. Li xiu then helped his mother to cook this spirit beast. Li xiu has to say that his mother makes the best food. He has ate in many famous restaurants of Zhou kingdom but still no one could make better food then his mother. It was also because his mother was a mid tier profound grade spiritual chef. Spiritual chef is a popular profession which deals with cooking food. Food made by spiritual chef is delicious and can even improve cultivation. So spiritual chefs are invited in banquets to cook for guests. Even in Zhou kingdom there was only one mortal grade high tier spiritual chef who worked for royal family but even he wasn't comparable to Zhou Lin.

Zhou Lin then prepared the food. It was then served to others. Li Yu and Li Xiu drooled at the food but Elder Xiao was still expressionless. It's understandable as Elder Xiao was a elder of a 1st grade sect. He can eat meals made by even heaven grade spiritual chef. The full moon was in the sky and the night was peaceful. But that doesn't mean that the forest is safe. Many spirit beast lurk at the night to hunt their prey.

On the camp

Li Xiu sat on the ground after eating the food. He had a very satisfying experience. He looked up to the sky and blue moon and said in his heart," Myriad Sword Sect, I am coming." Elder Xiao had told them that today was the Primordial Chaos full moon. At this time the various laws of the world intertwine in harmony. At this night many cultivators can get enlightenment so many cultivators mediate at this night in hopes of getting an enlightened. Li Xiu felt something looking at the night sky. He really loved it and enjoyed the harmony at this night. But elder Xiao said that to feel the harmony of Dao even great geniuses must be at spirit core realm. However Li Xiu could feel the harmony of Dao . Then the purple.ginseng like herb glowed purple under the reflection of the moon. Li Xiu then felt connected to the herb and something was telling him to eat the herb so he took it and bite it. After he swallowed the whole purple ginseng like herb. After swallowing the herb Li xiu didn't felt anything but after 3 minutes
