Magic Sect of Beauties: The Strongest Mage is in a Cultivation World Chapter 7: The Three Matriarchs

The Mashyan World.

Located on the Golden Lower Crown, it was one of the 300 major worlds of the Mortal Realm.

It was world of cultivation, the stronger beings of this world turned out to be won.

This was due to a war that happened almost 15,000 years ago.

Although there were male cultivators, because the battle at the ti took the lives of a good portion of the stronger male cultivators, leaving only the stronger females, the younger males had a hard ti rising to power. Whenever one was close to the sa cultivation as the female leaders, they would go missing.

The Mashyan World boasted four Continents of various sizes.

Northern continent called Northern Ravages was full of wild beasts. The number of beasts in this continent, outnumbered the humans by one to a hundred thousand. The Northern Ravages has the second largest size and the second smallest population.

The Dragon Blossom Sect was an upper class sect which was located within this continent on the midsection of the Dragon's Peak Mountains. The sect was ho to an unusually high number of female disciples, known for their exceptional beauty and formidable martial prowess. It also harbored tens of thousands of disciples, and its mbers were said to practice a unique form of cultivation known as Dragon Vein Cultivation.

The Dragon's Peak Mountains were a majestic mountain range located in the northern region of the Linwu Kingdom.

Linwu Kingdom was a vast and prosperous kingdom located in the central part of the continent, bordered by mountain ranges to the north and expansive plains to the south.

Mu Lingxi stood with grace on the blade of her jian as she traversed the Dragon's Peak Mountains.

The majestic, towering peaks lood around them.

With a thoughtful gaze, she turned to Yang Wei, with whom she'd been gliding through the skies.

Her eyes t his, reflecting a blend of curiosity and disbelief.

"It is incredible, the strength you possess," Mu Lingxi remarked. "But it's still beyond my understanding how you can wield such power without being a cultivator."

Yang Wei, levitating beside her, t her gaze. "I, Yang Wei, would never lie," he stated firmly. "Unless it was absolutely necessary."

Mu Lingxi pondered for a mont, a thoughtful expression marking her lovely features. "Considering your extraordinary capabilities, saying you're from another world outside ours does hold rit, I guess," she contemplated. "It wouldn't make sense for a male cultivator to be this powerful and have peacefully lived in the Mashyan World for so long."

"Hm?" Yang Wei uttered.

"Nevermind," Mu Lingxi replied. "It's not important."

Yang Wei continued to soar silently, his hands clasped behind his back.

"And you're called a, uh," Mu Lingxi rubbed her chin, trying to get the words out of her mouth. "...a mage."

Yang Wei affird, "Yes, that's what my kind are called. Unlike the cultivators, mages aren't battle seeking wild animals." He then muttered under his breath, "And besides, mage sounds a lot better than cultivator..."

Mu Lingxi nodded pensively, acknowledging the varying nature of cultivators.

"True, their behavior is influenced by the worlds they hail from. But I guess in the end, most of the cultivators I've encountered do tend to exude ruthlessness."

In truth, Yang Wei was being partially hypocritical.

This was due to the fact that in his world, mages from across the lands would all challenge him, hoping to attain the title of Strongest. However, this was only because Yang Wei existed and the power balance had completely been altered.

Had it not been for that, there was every possibility that mages would calmly live their lives peacefully as adventurers.

...

Their journey led them to a grand palace nestled deeply within the layers of the sect.

It was the Palace of the Golden Palace.

On her jian, Mu Lingxi gracefully landed in the palace courtyard, inviting Yang Wei to join her.

He descended with equal grace as he curiously looked around.

"So, what's this palace?" Yang Wei asked as his eyes scanned the magnificent structure. "Is it so sort of gateway, or does it hold another role?"

Arching an eyebrow inquisitively, Mu Lingxi regarded Yang Wei. "Are you sure you're not a cultivator?" she challenged in jest.

Even so, Yang Wei replied confidently, "Even mages can possess such knowledge..."

Within each of the countless number of worlds in the Mortal Realm and beyond, there were spatial nodes that spread around them and when accessed, they could be used as a portal to another world. While the spatial nodes of minor worlds could easily be found and accessed, those of the major worlds were rarer. This was because each of the major world possessed more beings of higher power. The more powerful the beings in a world, the harder it was to access it.

Mu Lingxi turned to Yang Wei and invited, "Alright, follow . Let's seek an audience with the Matriarchs at the palace."

Yang Wei nodded and fell in step behind her.

Together, they entered the palace, and the sight that t their eyes was beyond anything one could have imagined.

The interior of the palace resembled the vast expanse of outer space, with pulsating stars, cosmic gases, and majestic asteroid belts encompassing the surrounding realm.

The space inside the palace was astronomically larger than its outward appearance.

Amidst this cosmic spectacle, a woman with wavy brown hair and brown eyes erged from a dense cluster of stars. Her body was ravishing, her shape would make other won green with envy as she had curves in all the right places and a spotless skin.

Her na was Ling iyan.

She was in the 2nd level of the Spirit Ascension Realm; a Spirit Ascendant.

Conversely, she was a 2nd Path Cultivator.

As they caught sight of Ling iyan, Mu Lingxi respectfully bowed as she greeted, "3rd Young Miss, it's been a while."

With a warm smile, Ling iyan inclined her head in return and responded, "6th Young Miss, likewise."

Much like Ling iyan, Mu Lingxi was one of the young masters of the sect, but due to gender they were referred to as "Young Miss".

Being modest, Mu Lingxi expressed, "You don't need to go through the trouble of calling that; Miss Lingxi or even Junior Sister is fine."

Tilting her head a bit as she tucked her hands behind her endowed backside, Ling iyan considered her words with a gentle smile and said, "I'll keep that in mind."

A pause ensued, and then Ling iyan's gaze fell onto Yang Wei. "Hm?" she humd curiously.

Realizing her oversight, Mu Lingxi stepped in and said, "Oh yes, he's actually the reason we ca here."

"Oh, is that so?" Ling iyan responded thoughtfully.

"Yes," Mu Lingxi confird, "I was hoping to have him speak with the Matriarchs."

With an initially solemn expression, Ling iyan remarked, "Normally, I wouldn't grant just anyone an audience with the Sect Masters, but I suppose I could make an exception this ti."

Gratitude shone in Mu Lingxi's eyes as she said, "Thank you, Senior Sister."

Ling iyan reassured her, "It's fine," and then addressed Yang Wei directly, adding, "Besides, I already like him."

Engrossed in his own thoughts, Yang Wei seed oblivious to the conversation, preoccupied with cleaning his ear with his pinky finger.

As the column of light opened, Ling iyan gestured for Mu Lingxi and Yang Wei to step into it.

Mu Lingxi led the way into the column, and Yang Wei followed closely behind.

Imdiately, they entered a multi-dinsional space, and before them stood a grand, golden palace that glowed like a glow stick.

Although the sight always took Mu Lingxi's breath away, Yang Wei seed underwheld.

"Really? A palace within a palace. How impressive," he quipped sarcastically.

Feeling so frustration, Mu Lingxi replied, "Can't you at least show so respect to the Sect Masters?"

Yang Wei shrugged nonchalantly. "I'll only give them the respect they deserve if they've earned it."

Frustrated, Mu Lingxi sighed, holding her face in her hand.

Yang Wei continued, "But they're already doing that little by little."

"Really?" Mu Lingxi asked incredulously.

"Yes," Yang Wei nodded, observing the dinsion around them.

The space was plain white, with only them and the golden palace present. In truth, it was no ordinary space.

Yang Wei remarked, "This space looks like it's above 10 dinsions, at least 12."

Mu Lingxi acknowledged his observation, "The Head Matriarch is almost at the pinnacle of 3rd Path Cultivation, so feats like this are quite easy for her."

As they conversed, Yang Wei walked forward through the plain white space, making his way toward the golden palace.

Inside the palace, the Matriarchs - Blossom Dragon Moon, Blossom Dragon Sun, and the Head Matriarch, Blossom Dragon Star were seated together, engaged in a ga of Azure Tree Xangqi. The ga was set on a round table, surrounded by an Azure Rain Drop and small cosmic roots representing the countless minor worlds that was located at the Bronze Tap Root. With each move, the state of the ga determined the fate of the cosmic roots, either flourishing or withering.

Matriarch Blossom Dragon Star remarked, "Today's ga is quite interesting."

"Of course," replied Matriarch Blossom Dragon Sun, as she made another move in the ga, casting an inquisitive glance at Matriarch Blossom Dragon Moon.

Blossom Dragon Moon sighed, expressing her indifference, "It's okay," though her stoic deanor concealed her deep involvent in the ga.

Only soone that was at the 6th level of the Immortal Realm could initiate a ga of Azure Tree Xangqi. In other words, one had to be an Immortal Ascendant. But, in order to play Azure Tree Xangqi, one had to be at least an Immortal Junior, the 1st level of the Immortal Realm.

Matriarch Yuèhuī Ménglóng, the Blossom Dragon Moon, was an Immortal Junior, at the 1st level of the Immortal Realm.

Matriarch Míng Huīrán, the Blossom Dragon Sun, was an Immortal Junior, at the 3rd level of the Immortal Realm.

And finally, Matriarch Liáng Xīnyuè, the Blossom Dragon Star, was an Immortal Ascendant, at the 6th level of the Immortal Realm.

In summary, they were all powerful cultivators.

Although, there were three Matriarchs and the Head Matriarch was Liáng Xīnyuè, she wasn't the current or direct Sect Master. That position belonged to the 3rd Matriarch, Yuèhuī Ménglóng.

Since Liáng Xīnyuè had almost broken through to the pinnacle of 3rd Path Cultivation, she couldn't effectively stay and guide the sect while pursuing her own cultivation as the Azure Tree (the space that contains the Mortal and Semi-Immortal Realms) didn't have the necessary resources to flourish her cultivation anymore. As such, she initially left it in the hands of the cultivator closest to her in strength— 2nd Matriarch, Míng Huīrán, but then Yuèhuī Ménglóng erged and then the 2nd Matriarch passed it on to her to free so ti for herself, but she would occasionally co to help the 3rd Matriarch.

As for the Head Matriarch, so disciples had never even laid eyes on her and so didn't believe she even existed.

In the end, it was all a matter of hierarchy and cultivation progression that determined who would be the Sect Master and how they would lead.
