MTL NOVEL Chapter 920 A Trip to the Sword Sect
```
Time swiftly passed, and in the blink of an eye, there was only one month left until the Myriad Spirits Gathering began.
Lu Xuan was still in his cave abode, unhurriedly cultivating spiritual plants.
Liyang Taoist Sect was not very far from the Heavenly Star Cave; it was less than half a day's journey, which was convenient and easy.
In the Sword Grass spirit field, all ten stalks of Thousand Thunder Sword Grass had successfully condensed Sword Grass Spirit Seeds, with an astonishing one hundred percent success rate.
Lu Xuan carefully extracted the small Sword Spirit Seeds, wrapped in silver-white lightning, from the Sword Grass and stored them in the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.
The ten stalks of Thousand Thunder Sword Grass had yielded a total of thirty-six Sword Grass Spirit Seeds, six more than the previous batch.
He was highly pleased in his heart.
"From now on, I can plant the Thousand Thunder Sword Grass on a stable, large-scale basis."
"Unfortunately, improving the fourth-grade Thousand Thunder Sword Grass to Five-grade Sword Grass is as difficult as ascending to the heavens."
"Without the long-term influence of some special wonder or treasured land, it is hard to achieve."
Although he had the Dongxuan Sword Stele and that mysterious Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath in hand, upgrading to a Tier 5 Sword Grass Spirit Seed was not easy. He would need something similar to the treasured Sword Pool from his time at the Sky Sword Sect.
"Who knows in what year or month I will have the chance to improve to a Tier 5 Sword Grass Spirit Seed."
Lu Xuan said to himself, expressing a particular fondness for the Sword Grass spiritual plants.
Back when he was merely a Qi-Cultivator, he had attracted the attention of high-level members of the Sword Hall like Shen Ye due to a Sword Grass he cultivated by chance, which led to him obtaining many rare Sword Grass specimens.
Furthermore, the rewards from the light clusters that emerged after the Sword Grass matured were also incredibly generous.
In some sense, the Sword Grass also represented the unforgettable times during his days in the Sky Sword Sect when he gradually accumulated strength.
He paused in the Sword Grass spirit field, memories of past days surfacing, his face revealing a gentle smile.
...
Liyang Taoist Sect.
At the thousand-feet tall mountain gate, clouds twisted around each other, and cranes soared, presenting an ambiance befitting the Fairy Family.
Your adventure continues at My Virtual Library Empire
Several hundred miles from the mountain gate, high above, a giant spatial crack silently appeared, and a sword-shaped flying vessel shot through the rift and became visible.
On the vessel stood five Sword Cultivators with otherworldly demeanors. The leading middle-aged Cultivator had a profound presence like an abyss, and with silver-white twin swords on his back, his Sword Qi was vast and boundless. Two silver-white ribbons of Sword Qi, the spawned Sword Spirits from his twin swords, twined around him.
The middle-aged Cultivator was the True Sword Master of Dongxuan Sword Sect, a late Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, who had come at the invitation of the Liyang Taoist Sect to attend the Myriad Spirits Gathering.
Behind him, four Sword Cultivators stood respectfully.
The one leading them was a youth with a sword shadow behind him called Mo Yuanfeng, a True Sword Disciple of Dongxuan Sword Sect with an early Nascent Soul Stage Realm.
The other three were core disciples of the Sword Sect, two in the Golden Core Late Stage, and one in the mid-term of the Nascent Soul stage.
If Lu Xuan were present, he would certainly be surprised.
The mid-term Nascent Soul stage Sword Cultivator, with his handsome appearance and black and white eyes, was none other than Ge Pu, with whom he had formed a deep friendship back at Sky Sword Sect.
"We've finally reached the Liyang Region."
Excitement flickered across Wan Chong's face as he stood at the rear of the flying vessel.
Because the Dongxuan Sword Sect was countless tens of thousands of miles away from the Liyang Taoist Sect, separated by more than ten realms, and to avoid any mishaps as well as to show respect, the True Sword Master decided to come early.
Fortunately, the journey was smooth, and they arrived near the Liyang Taoist Sect without incident.
"Eh? Over there, there is a group of monks from who knows where."
Wan Chong looked towards a point more than ten miles away in the high sky, where a giant lotus was swiftly heading towards the gate of the Liyang Taoist Sect.
In the center of the lotus were several monks, their bodies bathed in Buddha's light, with the sound of chanting faintly resounding deep within the hearts of several onlookers.
Noticing Wan Chong's observation, a large monk with the Nascent Soul Realm gave a Buddhist chant and nodded towards the giant sword flying vessel.
High above on the flying vessel, the True Sword Master slightly nodded in return as a gesture of greeting.
```
"This is a high monk from the Floating Temple, with Master Konghui at the forefront, in the Late Nascent Soul Stage Realm, possessing the Vajra Dharma Body. Most divine skills and magic treasures find it difficult to breach his physical defenses,"
Mo Yuanfeng briefly introduced to Ge Pu and the others behind him.
"The Floating Temple is said to be situated within the well-concealed Little Thousand Buddha Nation. I didn't expect to encounter their monks here,"
Wan Chong said softly with some excitement.
"Junior Brother Wan, Junior Brother Ge, and Junior Brother Zhou, you are here to represent the Dongxuan Sword Sect at the Myriad Spirits Conference held by the Liyang Dao Sect. Remember to be cautious in your actions and not stain the reputation of our sect,"
"But don't be timid. If there are cultivators with malicious intentions and provocations, strike when you need to,"
Mo Yuanfeng instructed with a solemn expression.
"Yes, Senior Brother Mo!"
The three nodded together.
Mo Yuanfeng was a True Sword Disciple of the Dongxuan Sword Sect and one of the most outstanding sword cultivators among the younger generation, with a realm at the Early Nascent Soul Stage. His mastery of the Sword Dao was profound and he was greatly admired by all.
His status was not below that of some of the elders within the sect; it was only because he was still recognized as a Sword Disciple that he was still referred to as a Senior Brother.
"Senior Brother Mo, I have always been amicable and not one to initiate conflicts with others,"
Clearly, among the three, Wan Chong had the most lively personality, saying so jokingly to Mo Yuanfeng.
"However, Junior Brother Zhou has a fierce heart, and he might not be the same as me,"
Wan Chong turned his head to look at a young man with a cold demeanor beside him.
There was a long and slender sword scar in the middle of the young man's forehead, from which a ferocious and sinister aura seemed to be leaking.
Hearing what Wan Chong had said, the young man named Zhou Chao remained unresponsive, his eyes indifferently fixed forward.
"Senior Brother Mo, I will heed your words,"
"Just that after many years of returning to the Cloud Void Domain, quite a few fellow disciples from the Sky Sword Sect were relocated through the teleportation array entering the Liyang Region,"
"After arriving at the Liyang Dao Sect, during the month before the Myriad Spirits Conference, I would like to inquire around and see if I can find traces of old friends,"
Ge Pu spoke gravely.
The reason he came to participate in the Myriad Spirits Conference, in addition to his exceptional talents which were highly regarded by the sect, was also closely related to the disciples from the Sky Sword Sect.
When they had moved back from the Sky Sword Sect to the Dongxuan Sword Sect, since there were only three Nascent Soul True Monarchs, all at the Early Stage, and the disciples they could fully protect in the Void were limited, most of the disciples were sent to the Central Continent, far away from the demons invading the East Wasteland.
This time coming over, if he could find former sect members who were recognized for their talents and cultivation levels, they could return to the Dongxuan Sword Sect under the protection of the True Sword Master to alleviate some of the regret from the past.
"Junior Brother Ge, now that you've returned to your previous place of cultivation, you must show me around the local customs and practices of the Cloud Void Domain,"
Wan Chong said with a smile.
"Senior Brother, when I had entered the Dongxuan Sword Sect, I had only recently broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage, so I'm more familiar with the East Wasteland. If Senior Brother wishes to have company, we could together explore Central Continent,"
Ge Pu said somewhat helplessly.
"Why not take a trip to the East Wasteland then?"
Wan Chong suddenly proposed.
"That won't be possible,"
Ge Pu shook his head.
"Why not?"
"The East Wasteland has been occupied by demons from the Outer Realms,"
"..."
Wan Chong touched his nose and chuckled awkwardly.
