The Legend of the Sacred Sword Cultivator
Ch 18: Preparation

The Cloud Dragon Sect entered into the ranks of the largest sect of the white stream, this sect had stood for thousands of years. Now the cloud dragon sect is led by patriarch Yong Yelu.

The influence of the Cloud Dragon Sect in the Qin Empire was also quite strong and large, as well, so that no sects would dare to seek trouble with this sect if it did not have the strength or support whose strength and influence exceeded that of the Cloud Dragon Sect.

The Cloud Dragon Sect had not long been the largest sect of the white stream, the sect had advanced and flourished ever since it had the great support of the Qin Empire, every emperor family would train in this sect, so that this sect has support both in terms of financial, resources and support of the emperor's power.

This was also one of the reasons for the Cloud Dragon Sect, being respected and respected among cultivators.

One of the imperial families who practiced in this sect was the Crown Princess of Emperor Qin, Qin Lienhua. Princess Qin Lienhua became a special disciple of elder Tang, the elder sister of empress Tang Rourou.

The Cloud Dragon Sect was appointed to host the young cultivator tournament this time around.

"For the matter of prize for the winner of this tournament, the imperial side will take full responsibility." Emperor Qin's right hand represented the empire to deliver the emperor's edict in the important meeting of the Cloud Dragon Sect.

"With all due respect we are grateful for the generosity of His Majesty Emperor Qin." Patriarch Yong Yelu welcomed the emperor's edict with vigor, in addition to having cooperation between the sect and the emperor's side, he said, Patriarch Yong Yelu had a good relationship with Emperor Qin because his Patriarch Yong Yelu was so respectful of Emperor Qin.

"We must prepare as best as we can for this event, as representatives of our sect have chosen princess Qin Lienhua and her two other young cultivators." An elder gave an opinion.

"True patriarch so far the preparation has reached the perfect word, we just have to prepare a plan for all the unwanted possibilities will happen."

Welcome the other elders.

"Well we'll work together for security during the tournament, I'll pick a cultivator's warior to take care of this."

Within each sect, there was a so-called 'Cultivator Warior'.

Cultivator Warior is a great cultivator that every sect has as a dark horse to keep the sect safe from the bad possibilities that occur, this cultivator power cannot be underestimated either. The existence of this cultivator was secret and hidden. Cultivator warriors are often referred to as sect shields.

Every sect, be it a large, medium or small sect or it a white, black and neutral flow sect should have a Cultivator Warior.

After the meeting ended, Patriarch Yong Yelu disbanded the elders and escorted the return of the emperor's side.

~~

"The three of you have officially become representatives of the sect." Elder Shuo Lin met Qin Lienhua's daughter and two others after the meeting ended.

"The teacher and his two other elders will specifically guide your training until the tournament arrives."

After conveying the important things they had to do, Elder Tang as one of the elders who became the guiding coach for the Young Cultivator Tournament participants began to conduct match practice for the three disciples.

~~

"Focus your qi at one point."

"Use your instincts to see the enemy attack."

" Unbelievable Jian'er, you're such a talented student." Chang An was unceasingly amazed at the development of Yang Jian's practice after officially becoming his disciple.

"Thank you teacher. I'll try even better and not disappoint the teacher."

"Good Jian'er teacher believes in you, someday teacher is sure you will be a great cultivator of all time."

Chang An's praise did sound a little excessive, but Chang An sincerely praised Yang Jian.

While conversing about the results of Yang Jian's training they were startled by the arrival of the sect's senior disciples.

"Sorry elder Chang, you were called by the patriarch." the male disciple lowered his head.

Chang An and Yang Jian fell silent at the senior disciple's words.

"Teacher how.." Yang Jian had not yet said Chang An directly cut him off.

"Calm down Jian'er will all be fine." Chang An assured.

They had the same premonition that this must have been related to Chang An raising Yang Jian his disciple and not the son of the patriarch.

"Teacher go first, you can rest." Yang Jian nodded slowly and walked into the residence after Chang An left the training ground.

It felt like Yang Jian had caught up with Chang An to help him clear up this misunderstanding, but he had stopped doing so because he did not want to make Chang An even more burdened.

~~

Five months had passed, during that time also Yang Jian did a closed-door exercise with Chang An.

Although many of the sect disciples who had never seen Yang Jian were so curious about the appearance of the sect's most handsome elder disciple, none of them were allowed to visit, no exception with the patriarchal son of the Jade Stone Sect.

Even Chang An himself coming out from within his residence could be counted fingers, it was also due to urgent matters that he could not miss as one of the sect elders.

All they did every day was practice and practice, even when night fell Yang Jian had not stopped his training until he reached the limit of his body.

Yang Jian only rested when eating and sleeping alone. So was Chang An, in addition to focusing on training Yang Jian. Chang An also trained to continue to hone his skills.

Yang Jian felt that Chang An had the perseverance he had to achieve seeing the persistence of his teacher.

After returning from a meeting with the patriarch, Chang An closed the entrance to his residence, Chang An also looked different from his usual, he became more serious and spoke little. If it had nothing to do with Yang Jian's training, Chang An had never started another topic of conversation.

Yang Jian who always watched Chang An was astonished by the actions of his teacher, but Chang An was silent every time he was asked by Yang Jian, therefore Yang Jian just kept silent and did not ask further, he was trying to understand Chang An's choice was definitely for his own good.

Once upon a time, Yang Jian urged Chang An to share the story, it made Chang An not speak to Yang Jian.

Before Chang An himself chose to tell Yang Jian, Yang Jian promised never to start asking and respecting his teacher's choice.
