The sun began to rise from its quarrel, bringing a reddish glow to emerge from behind the mountain hills. Adding to the beautiful scenery of the area where the Lightning Valley Sect Headquarters was established.
All the inhabitants of the Lightning Valley Sect began to look out from the resting place, they started the day with various activities of each. Some went to the 'Balai Dining' to prepare food or breakfast, some were in charge of cleaning the Sect headquarters. Some started training and others went to the fields to care for the resource crops.
Last night the Taoist Patriarch Lian wanted to celebrate Arya's arrival and introduce her to all the disciples of the Lightning Valley Sect, but Arya rejected her because she wanted to stabilize the newly awakened power from within her since some of her memories returned.
Now Arya had completed the process of unifying some of the Golden Dragon God Emperor energy that was within her. Not only had his cultivation stage increased to the Mortal Swordsman stage, his current mind had also been filled with various kinds of knowledge. His physical strength was increasing, the bones, muscles as well as the cells within his body had evolved to a higher stage.
Arya was not unaware that the awakening of the pent-up power within her had made the God realm and the Demon lower realm shaken. He was aware that his current ability would be very dangerous for his safety to roam freely, because in the future he would not only face warriors but would also become a target for Devils.
Arya smiled in satisfaction over the increase in her strength, with her current abilities, she was already very prepared to earth the scorched Bloody Demon Sect. But before that he has another task that he must complete, namely destroying one of the fragments of the Legendary Heritage so that in the future it does not threaten the benefit of mankind in this world.
When Arya had just finished cleaning herself, someone knocked on her bedroom door.
"Are you ready, Xian'er?" Asked Patriarch Tao Lian after the door opened.
Arya nodded.
"But before that, I will introduce you to all the members of the Celestial Swordsman Alliance."
They then walked to the meeting room. Arriving in the room, it turned out there had gathered many Swordsmen and people from the kingdom who were waiting for the arrival of the Taoist Patriarch Lian who had previously promised to introduce the Golden Dragon Swordsman to them.
"Who is that young man? Why would Patriarch Tao Lian bring a boy to this meeting?
"It looks like the young man bears a resemblance to Physician Xian."
"Yes.I heard that Physician Xian has also joined the Alliance. Could it be that the young man was Physician Xian? But why is her face a little different from the last time I met her."
Everyone in the room whispered to each other, until finally the Taoist Patriarch Lian officially introduced Arya to everyone in the room.
"You must have known that Physician Xian had joined our Alliance." The Taoist patriarch Lian stopped his words and then turned to the side where Arya was. "He is the Golden Dragon Warrior I told you about yesterday."
Arya who had been scraping information from the mind of the Taoist Patriarch Lian seemed to be acting ordinary. The young man smiled and cupped his hands forward.
"Greetings to the Patriarch, elders and gentlemen all. This junior is honored to be part of the Alliance." Arya said politely.
"Sorry Physician Xian, may I try out your abilities a little." A man who looked to be in his 30s stood looking at Arya with a condescending look.
"So your attitude, Ye Han! Sit quickly! This is a meeting place not a fighting arena." Snapped by a middle-aged man who had an incision scar on his cheek. From his clothes it was clear that the middle-aged man was one Sect with a man named Ye Han.
With a feeling of annoyance and embarrassment, Ye Han then sat down. He was actually very eager to prove the truth regarding the ability of Physician Xian which he thought was just fabricated news. 'There may be a dozen-year-old boy that can destroy the middle Sect all by himself.' How thought.
"I'm sorry for the carelessness of our elders, Patriarchs and gentlemen all." Said the middle-aged man while standing up and cupping his hands.
"Alright, I understand your doubts. Just look. To prove this young man deserved to join the Alliance, he would take part in a match to fight for the position of the 20 strongest Swordsman in the Empire." After saying, Patriarch Tao Lian turned her head towards Arya.
Just contact the atmosphere in the meeting room to be rowdy. They felt that something was wrong with Patriarch Tao Lian. 'How can a teenage boy be aligned with great and experienced warriors."
"Patriarch Tao, don't you think too highly of Physician Xian." Patriarch Ye Ziyun of the Stork Sect spoke up.
Patriarch Ye Ziyun did indeed believe all the news circulating regarding Physician Xian, but to be aligned with the Empire's strongest warriors, it felt too excessive. According to him, it would still take decades for Physician Xian to be able to align with the Empire's strongest warriors.
"Uncle I'm not interested in that competition." Aryan spoke telepathically to the Taoist Patriarch Lian.
"Xian'er, forgive uncle. But uncle already said this, so please be willing to join the competition. Don't embarrass uncle. I'm sure your abilities are well-deserved to compete with the strongest warriors of today." Reply to Patriarch Tao Lian while glancing at Arya.
"Why did it become like this.." Rutuk Arya in the heart.
Arya had already drawn up a plan, after all her affairs were done, she wanted to focus on increasing her cultivation to deal with the big problems that she would face later on. For him to follow the strongest Swordsman competition will only attract more attention.
"But uncle.."
The Taoist Patriarch Lian raised her hand as a gesture for everyone to stop talking. "From now on Physician Xian will be known as the Golden Dragon Swordsman."
"You know why I judge her so highly? It's all because I know best who this young man really is. He is Li Xian the son of my younger brother Li Hongyi." Patriarch Tao Lian said proudly and then continued. "If you object, then show your skills in that competition. You will realize that Li Xian's abilities are not inferior to all of you."
"Sorry Patriarch Tao, this young man does not even have the aura of a Swordsman. I can't read his cultivation level either, he looks like an ordinary human being." Said Patriarch Gu Ta Sian of the Dragon Claw Sect.
"Do you forget, if you can't read someone's cultivation level, there are 3 possibilities. First of all, he is an ordinary man. Second, that person hid his cultivation, and that third person is higher in cultivation than you." The elder Din Thai Fung spoke up, he felt furious and could not bear to see his best friend in the corner.
The elder Din Thai Fung said so because he knew that Arya was indeed suppressing the Swordsman aura and disguising his cultivation. The elder Din Thai Fung had also seen for himself when Arya expended his energy that was as high as the Sacred Swordsman while in Lanzhu kingdom. According to him, Arya's current abilities were indeed worthy of being juxtaposed with the top-class warriors of the Ming Empire.
Arya breathed a heavy sigh. All of this had already happened and he also did not want to embarrass Patriarch Tao Lian. "All right.."
Arya then showed her energy that was as high as an Emperor Swordsman, she was unwilling to attract everyone's attention. Even if Arya showed her true cultivation, no one would be able to figure it out, because however the Ming imperial warriors only knew the highest cultivation was at the peak of the Sacred Swordsman.
"Truly a genius young man, I'm sure that in the next decades he will become the strongest Swordsman." Inner Patriarch Gu Ta Sian while smiling proudly. He is very happy to see the talented young generation, because after all the younger generation will continue the struggle of old people like himself.
"Well, only the emperor's warriors have acted as great pretenders. Look at it later, I'll teach you a lesson." Ye Han's growled.
"Alright, with his ability he can enter the competition. In my opinion, it would be best for Patriarch Tao Lian to train him in a few more years. I'm sure in ten years he'll be more mature to take part in the upcoming competition." Patriarch Liu Bei of the White Tiger Sect argued.
"Thank you for the advice of Patriarch Bei.. Actually my goal was to include Li Xian because I wanted him to mature and be able to add to his experience in the competition." Reply Patriarch Tao Lian was relieved.
"Alright, now is the time to discuss about attacking the Bloody Demon Sect." Said General Qian Tangjiang one of the Ming imperial Generals.
"We need time and more strength to deal with them, their abilities are completely unreasonable. We've attacked their hiding places before, but to deal with their Sect disciples alone, my members have lost many lives." Reply Patriarch Xin Fei of the Single Sword Sect.
"Faster is better, now we have less than two full moons. If it passes from that, then their goal of resurrecting the Demon King will be achieved." Aryan Toilet.
Everyone in the meeting room was shocked.
"Young man, how do you know?" General Qian Tangjiang asked in full questioning.
"From one of their members." Reply Arya calmly.
General Qian Tangjiang still did not fully believe it, he was even suspicious of Arya. The information regarding the Bloody Demon Sect was minimal and difficult to obtain, even some of the members of the Bloody Demon Sect who had been captured, none of them were willing to divulge information, the members of the Bloody Demon Sect preferred suicide.
"Do you have any evidence to corroborate your words."
"I have no proof, you believe it or not it's your business. But if the words prove true, then prepare yourself to regret." Arya tried to knock everyone mentally. They clearly know what risks they will face if everything they say happens.
"Young man, talking is easy. Did you know they have strange abilities that seem to be able to live eternally." Ye Han's lips.
"I have faced them several times and a little bit I know their strengths and weaknesses. Every thing must have a weakness, and their weakness is fire, heart and head." Arya.
"Young man, you seem to know a lot about them. What exactly is your relationship with the demon sect." Tukas General Qian Tangjiang was full of suspicion.
"Haha... At a time like this how can you still have time to think of profit and loss. If you lose your members when you stop them now, I don't think that's all that much compared to when you face the Demon King." Arya laughed out loud, she was a little annoyed.
"And even funnier, how can you suspect me of telling you the weakness of the enemy. If you still don't believe me, please ask the members of the Sakura Flower Sect about whether or not this is true." Continue Arya straightforwardly.
"Well, for now we can only trust him. But just in case we should ask the members of the Sakura Flower Sect first about what he said." Patriarch Gu Ta Sian gave a proposal.
"Then what's next for you, young man?" General Qian Tangjiang asked Arya.
"I don't have a plan. My only goal is to destroy them. With or without you, I'm going to destroy them." Arya said calmly, as if to him destroying the Bloody Demon Sect was as easy as turning a hand.
"You're a young man.. With abilities that are only Emperor Swordsman but you already feel the most powerful." Hardik Ye Han's.
The Taoist patriarch Lian held onto Arya's shoulder and then shook her head slowly.
"I'm sorry I don't mean to be arrogant, but if I see your doubts, I'm afraid you'll keep stalling for too long." Arya said politely. "Look, if you believe me, after the show here is over come with me and attack them. Don't worry I'll be on the front lines to pave the way for you."
"Xian'er, I disagree.. It'll put your life at risk." Patriarch Tao Lian said in a stern tone.
"Don't worry uncle, I'm doing this of course already have careful preparation. At least I've gathered a lot of information regarding them as well as their weaknesses."
"I can't decide now. If I'm sure of you and get permission from Your Majesty, I'll come attack with you." General Qian Tangjiang stood up. "All I beg you to say goodbye."
After the departure of general Qian Tangjiang, one by one of them also then left the meeting room. They all felt the need to confirm Arya's words, which was about the weakness of the Bloody Demon Sect that the young man had exposed.
"I don't think about why they're still selfish. But now the destruction is in sight." Arya muttered softly but was quite heard by the Taoist Patriarch Lian and the several elders of the Lightning Valley Sect who were still there.
"This is the nature of man, Xian'er. They will always be selfish, and it will make them turn a blind eye to the reality. But they're also not entirely wrong, because however the information you've been given can't be ascertained." Reply to Patriarch Tao Lian while holding Arya's shoulder.
"Then, let's destroy the heirloom, uncle."
"It's best that after all the events here are over, I don't want anyone to know about this."
Arya sighed. "All right, it's up to uncle."
