Chapter 12 Opportunity
"Sword Sect, the Sword Sect that's ten thousand miles east of Falling Moon City?" Lin Yuan immediately recognized the sect's name.
Before leaving his family's sacred mountain, he briefly learned about the forces in the vicinity of his family, so as not to commit any taboos he should not have done.
After leaving Lin Family Immortal Mountain, travel three thousand miles east to reach Luoyue City.
Ten thousand miles east of Falling Moon City lies the Sword Sect; thirteen thousand miles south is the Beast Taming Sect; and eighteen thousand miles north is the Yin Soul Sect.
The Sword Sect, the Beast Taming Sect, the Yin Soul Sect, and the Lin Family are the four most powerful forces in the vicinity.
Being born into the Lin family was a perfect start, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a terrible one.
Lin Yuan ignored the praise, staring into the other person's eyes, and asked, "Many families and sects are driving people out to conserve spiritual energy and resources to survive the Spirit-Severing Era, so why is the Sword Sect still recruiting?"
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.
Lin Yuan found the Sword Sect's behavior very strange.
He wouldn't dare go without figuring it out first.
"Brother Lin Yuan, you're still so cautious." Lin Chao smiled, then didn't keep them in suspense and explained the reason, "It's very simple. Because the Sword Sect doesn't have a 'Minor Immortal Realm,' they want to recruit disciples to find a 'Minor Immortal Realm' to survive the era of spiritual annihilation, otherwise the entire sect will perish and never exist again."
Lin Yuan's doubts deepened: "Recruiting disciples led to the discovery of the 'Minor Immortal Realm'?"
That sounds even less plausible.
It's all based on a lottery!
"Moreover, the Sword Sect is no weaker than the Lin Family. The Lin Family has a 'Minor Immortal Realm,' but the Sword Sect doesn't?"
Lin Chao was not surprised by Lin Yuan's question. He had not been wasting his time since leaving the Lin family. He immediately explained, "First of all, there is the issue of the Little Immortal Realm. I only learned about it after I came out. The Sword Sect is the only sect among the major forces in this area that rose to prominence in this spiritual energy era. The others, whether it is the Lin family, the Beast Taming Sect, or the Yin Soul Sect, have all survived at least one era of spiritual depletion."
As he spoke, he seemed to remember something and sighed, "I've heard that these forces, especially the family forces, which have survived at least one era of spiritual destruction, are not much better off than the Lin family, even if their internal situation is better. They have many veterans."
"As a sect that has risen to prominence in this era, the Sword Sect is both a righteous sect and a swordsman. Although it is unknown what will happen if it is fortunate enough to survive this era of spiritual desolation, according to the information I have, the atmosphere within the Sword Sect is relatively pure and upright. The sect's disciples still interact with mortals, slaying demons and protecting mortals."
This surprised Lin Yuan.
Cultivators can be said to be a different species from mortals.
Therefore, the attitude of most cultivators towards mortals is, "It's good enough that I, an immortal, don't bother you. You want me to help you? You're dreaming."
But this Sword Sect actually took the initiative to help mortals, which was completely out of the ordinary.
"Then what is the connection between recruiting disciples and the Lesser Immortal Realm?" Lin Yuan continued to ask.
Lin Chao's gaze deepened: "The era of spiritual desolation is about to arrive. For most cultivators, it is despair, a slow death. But for some geniuses, it is not so."
"In the fifty years before the spiritual energy is about to be completely cut off, the spiritual energy will gradually decline. At the same time, the world will be like a last gasp, and all kinds of amazing opportunities will emerge. Among these opportunities is the 'Minor Immortal Realm'. Even the 'Minor Immortal Realm' is not considered a top-tier resource at that time."
"The most crucial point is that these opportunities will be obtained by those with abundant luck."
"So the Sword Sect wants to recruit disciples and find someone with great fortune?" Lin Yuan's expression was somewhat strange.
Isn't this still a lottery?
"No!" Lin Chao shook his head, his eyes shining. "In those fifty years, as long as you can climb up step by step and defeat your enemies, everyone can become a person with great fortune and become the chosen one of heaven."
"The Sword Sect wants to recruit disciples and cultivate someone with great fortune. It is said that if one's fortune is strong enough, one's wishes can come true. The 'Little Immortal Realm' is not a top-tier opportunity, so the chances of obtaining it are quite high."
Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, then asked, "Lin Chao, where did you get this information?"
This information is clearly not something that can be obtained casually.
Lin Chao's expression remained unchanged as he said, "Half a month ago, a disciple of the Sword Sect passed by and mentioned this matter at a gathering of cultivators. Many cultivators are aware of it now."
In fact, this information was given to him by his master, Tianyun, long ago.
Of course, the Sword Sect disciples did mention this, which he then used as a reason.
However, this meant that there were some things he couldn't say.
That is the information that can truly determine a cultivator's path.
But it doesn't matter. As long as Brother Lin Yuan goes to the Sword Sect, he will find out anyway, just a little later.
Lin Yuan, unaware of Lin Chao's thoughts, simply nodded slightly.
He believed Lin Chao, not only because of his relationship with Lin Chao, but also because the lie was easy to expose.
"Brother Lin Yuan, what do you think? The outside world is in chaos right now, with bloodshed everywhere. Even if we find a place with spiritual energy, it's far inferior to a sacred mountain. The Sword Sect is the best place to go." Seeing that Lin Yuan hadn't responded, Lin Chao continued, "If we can join the Sword Sect, and if the Sword Sect eventually obtains the 'Minor Immortal Realm,' and we're lucky enough to get a spot, maybe we can even become senior members!"
At this point, he couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
Lin Yuan did not answer.
After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Is there no limit to the number of people the Sword Sect can recruit?"
"Of course not." Lin Chao immediately shook his head. "To seize the fortune, one needs to defeat enemies and climb upwards. The Sword Sect has limited resources and will only select a certain number of outstanding disciples for training. It's impossible for there to be no restrictions."
"Brother Lin Yuan needs to make a decision as soon as possible. According to the Sword Sect disciples, the recruitment of new disciples started five days ago. The competition is fierce now, and even if you are selected from the best, it will be difficult to join the Sword Sect if you go too late."
"It started five days ago..." Lin Yuan was taken aback upon hearing this, then looked at Lin Chao with a complicated expression, feigning ignorance, "You knew about it all along, why didn't you leave?"
"I was just worried that Brother Yuan wouldn't be able to get the news after arriving in Luoyue City, wasn't I?" Lin Chao grinned, looking a little simple-minded for a moment, but his smile was incredibly sincere.
Those cultivators who wanted to join the Sword Sect rushed there as soon as they heard the news. Those cultivators who were still in Falling Moon City either didn't know about the news or felt that they had no chance at all, so they wouldn't talk about it at all.
Lin Yuan has only just arrived, so it's unlikely he'll receive the news as easily as he did ten days ago.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan's expression became even more complicated. He said, "Then let's go together. When do we depart?"
He decided to go to the Sword Sect and give it a try.
Firstly, this is indeed a good opportunity; if one can enter a sect, the conditions for cultivation will be even better.
According to his original plan, he was to first find a place with good spiritual energy, cultivate to the fourth level of the Fetal Breathing stage, and then, as a rogue cultivator, start looking for resources to break through to the seventh level of the Fetal Breathing stage and get through the era of spiritual depletion.
With the boost to combat power from the Dao Seed's ability to utilize spiritual energy in advance, there is still a chance.
The plan is somewhat idealistic, but it is the best and only option.
Because in his previous view, spiritual energy was about to be cut off, and no major forces would recruit disciples, so he could only rely on himself.
Joining a sect can grant protection, more resources, more supernatural powers, and more methods for gathering qi.
Especially the last one. Although the Lin family also taught him the Qi gathering method, according to his understanding, there are many Qi gathering methods. What the Lin family taught them in advance was just the general one. Once they entered the sect, they would have the opportunity to obtain better ones and lay the foundation for their path.
If he had the opportunity to enter a sect to cultivate, he would naturally be happy to do so, as it would be much better and more stable than his original plan.
Secondly, Lin Chao had missed an opportunity because of him, and given such a warm invitation, even if he didn't intend to join the sect, he was willing to accompany Lin Chao on this journey.
"Then let's set off early tomorrow morning. Brother Lin Yuan, you should get some rest. We'll have to go all out from here on out." Lin Chao immediately made the plan.
"Okay." Lin Yuan nodded. Lin Chao understood this matter better, so naturally Lin Chao would make the decision. Before leaving, he said again, "Thank you very much this time."
If it weren't for Lin Chao, he would likely have missed this opportunity.
Lin Chao's smile remained bright, showing no annoyance at the time wasted, and he said, "Brother, do we brothers still need to talk about these things?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan chuckled and said, "Indeed, there's no need."
