If I thought the area for the training grounds was large, the sheer amount of land that Im passing by thats dedicated to the warehouses and sect servants trivializes it.
Buildings and Roads that soar over gaps that are too frightening to ntion.
Theres at least 1000 kiloters of just these buildings here. And I know there are even more out there.
Which makes this situation even more strange.
The amount of the area Im actually seeing from this position within the sect is at least 100,000 sq km large. But my scan from when I first arrived on this world, Privilon, was that the sects area was around 10,000 sq km.
That could only an that the space distortion I noticed when I arrived near the mountain is even more pronounced than I thought. The technical area from the outside, is 10,000 sq km. However, the inside is far larger and just as true.
But how is the question?
From what I can tell, it may actually be a quirk of the mountain itself, rather than a formation created by the sect. Likely one of the reasons they chose this sect.
Despite my subconscious telling I need to focus on the journey, a major realization stops in my tracks and causes to stare up at the sun.
The Revolving Heavenly Light Sect primarily uses primarily light-based techniques as their sect cultivation thods.
If the amount of area in the sect is actually extrely large, with a constant amount of sunlight spread within it, then that ans any large scale, light-based technique used within the sect and facing outwards would be concentrated to an absurd degree!
Adding to that is the defense walls, which concentrate light, going from the top of the mountain all the way to the Outer City walls. Making the amount of light that would co out exponentially larger!
That doesnt even include the shenanigans that could be done to improve light-based cultivation at higher levels
Just as I finished this thought, felt a shift in the air. taphorically and physically.
At the sa ti, my scan alerts t-
Well, Well. Looks like we may have another genius on our hands. Making waves in More than one way, eh?
Oh no. I finally triggered it.
The cultivation information detectors.
As I rapidly turn around, a wizened, elderly man cos into view.
Covered in expensive flowing clothes, he is the picture of a cultivation master that I imagined when I ca into this world.
I can see a knowing smile on his face as he continues.
It appears that youve discovered one of the Majestic qualities of our humble mountain here.
His eyes twinkles as he lowers his voice a little.
But I wouldnt be here speaking to you if thats all you discovered, now, would I? You seem to understand the intricacies of how light in our world works. Sothing that is crucial to our sect.
Despite my attempts to keep my face neutral, there are signs of fear on my face that cant be hidden even with my scan identifying them.
But as my scan works in overti to figure out what needs to be done with my conversation scan, Im suddenly put at ease by my findings and his next words.
No need to be scared, young master. Im only here because you have been shown to have great potential in our cultivation thods. You may not know this, but for all sects, there are general probes that check for compatibility for their thods.
And its not what you think. They cant actually read your mind, but they detect a shift in how Qi reacts to your thoughts. Sothing that shifts when you get a better understanding of the world and your body subconsciously shifts to accommodate.
He gives a wry laugh.
It takes a pretty significant understanding of our world to have such a thing happen, though. Interesting that it would be soone whos already shown to have a different cultivation thod.
I went too deep.
But in this case, it turned in my favor. This is a benchmark that many geniuses hit, who understand how light works.
For people in this world, thats a major achievent. I just have a head start because I ca from a science-based society.
The most important part about this? That this keeps positive attention in my direction.
And being recognized by their cultivation information detector ans itll be much tougher for them to whisk away at this point. As I could be an essential piece of a defense strategy if they ever really need . One of their little-known rules is that others who understand the thod well, even if they dont practice it themselves, can teach newly initiated in case of an attack.
With this information, all signs of worry leave my body, and this cultivator can clearly sense that as well.
I then realize Im not paying him the proper respect.
My apologies Esteed Senior. You may already know, but my na is Jas. May I have the honor of knowing your na?
He gives a bold laugh, before stating sothing shocking.
Theres no need to call by such titles, young master. In fact, I am simply an Outer Court mber, only at the first level of Foundation Establishnt. I go by the na of Ling.
I can feel my face freeze as I process what he just said. I was almost completely sure that he was an elder, though I wondered why the amount of Qi coming off his body did not seem as much as other elders.
But since I wasnt using my scan on him, and assud that he was holding back in a spiritual pressure on my behalf, I had no way of knowing.
It doesnt help that he is the complete picture of what I would imagine a cultivator to be.
But, at the end of the day, I still think hes soone worthy of respect. Its clear he has knowledge that I dont, and has been here for far longer.
So even with that set, I still bow to him and do the proper greeting for an elder.
Nonetheless, you were still my senior and I must pay you the proper respect. Thank you for passing your wisdom onto .
I can see his eyes twinkle yet again, giving a strange feeling.
Was was this a test? Because I feel like there was an ulterior motive for this.
The feeling doesnt fully go away, as he takes sothing out of his side pouch.
Extending far out of it are two swords.
Placing both on the ground, he quickly explains his intentions.
Since weve made our introductions, I know you must be eager to hurry along to senior song in completing your quest.
She sent to make sure that you got here safely throughout the site, as you may be unfamiliar with the grounds.
Ah, that might have been why the guards were looking out for . But why wouldnt they tell if that was the case?
Unless they were looking out for another reason.
Ill need more ti to figure out the politics of this place.
As I finished this thought, I see him wave towards the swords in the ground.
These swords here may not be fast, but I should have just enough power to get us both to her safely. My grandniece should be happy to see you there.
Huh, I guess this will be my first ti on a flying did he say grandniece?
Obviously, since he gave a bomb statent like that, I looked towards him as if I want to ask sothing, but he gives a mischievous smile that lets know its not the ti to ask.
As he climbs onto the sword, stepping on it like a skateboard, I follow in suit, matching his actions to the best of my ability.
As I do so, I can see him flash a few hand symbols and mutter a few words before the swords hover in place. At the sa ti, I can feel sothing similar to a seat belt placed upon my feet. Partially locking to the board. I can sense if I ever wanted to jump off, I easily could and that its only purpose is to make sure I dont fall off.
Slowly, it rises to around 30 feet in the air. Almost imdiately after, it sets off at a fast speed, just a bit faster than I was going. Definitely not my top speed, but one that people would be comfortable with in this Sect.
As we travel along, I turn towards senior Ling To talk further, but I can see him straining to concentrate.
It appears he truly is a foundation establishnt. But one that is full of mystery.
It makes wonder what will happen next.
