Wait, so we really are just heading right back to Lionheart Town?
Wan Ling shook her head, No, were heading towards Five Mountain Province. Song Lu Tian has offered to shelter us for so ti.
Seeing the confused look on Sages face, she shared a look with Zhu Jiao and they shared another chuckle, You were battling near the border of Five Mountain and Endless Valley. I contacted all of your friends and had them use the rciful Mollusk. I bought a special device from the Thousand Treasures that destroyed a ssaging Jade to get the location of the connected jade. Then we used the loaner Flying Ship to catch up with you in ti.
That explains the lost connection.
The transportation formation fees is the reason we couldnt bring so many people. It's a good thing you recently befriended two other Nascent Souls. The Song Clan is going to protect us while you recover, but youll have to teach so of their refiners how to create Formation Swords. The mbers of the Mount Song Sword Sect all seem to be jealous of Song Lu Tians swords. Normally this would be a big business opportunity, but well have to trade it for a favor.
Sage nodded, It was an obscure thing I saw ntioned in the Holy Fla Sect Library. I developed a rudintary technique to create an item set, Im sure there are many more impressive ones out there in this endless world.
Your own technique? Well, then youll have to be half a teacher to so weapon refiners in the Mount Song Sword Sect. Weve done so business with them over the years, but this is a good opportunity to deepen the relationship.
Zhu Jiao smiled, Youre so excited, Sister Ling. You should thank those Tiankongs, when everyone was drinking they begged to see the rest of their family. That little punk Jiyao got into a bragging match with Song Lu Tian and lost badly. That girl Baozhai tricked them into battling over who was the most generous, and that led to us being offered their protection for a hundred years.
Sage released a long sigh, I really will owe him greatly. It is definitely worth trading that technique I created to shelter with them. So many of Kings wives and descendants are already there, so it should be fine for us to stay with them.
He looked at both Zhu Jiao and Wan Ling, wondering how he got into this strange position, but not daring to voice such thoughts. Then he bowed his head to each of them in turn, Forgive for not being strong enough to protect and provide for you.
Two voices spoke in unison, Idiot.
The Five Mountain Province didnt get its na because it only had five mountains. In fact it was the place where two mountain ranges t, the province had hundreds of mountains within it and was quite a popular place for rogue cultivators. For so reason, mountains naturally seed to have higher densities of energy in the air around them, which made them a very popular place for cultivators to set up their headquarters. Sage also thought they liked to be secluded or look down on the normal mortals, so it was a given that with so many mountains there would be many cultivators occupying them.
It was also encouraged by the rule of the province, the Mount Song Sword Sect. They considered themselves a righteous sect and ruled their province quite loosely. They let other cultivators do as they wished, and rely sent their own disciples out to gain experience. With so many roaming disciples eager to right the injustices of the world, their province was kept orderly without them having to keep track of anything. With such a loose hand and such good territory, many smaller sects and clans were constantly ford and destroyed, which bred lots of opportunities for their disciples to enter battle, which was just what they wanted. Other provinces would create strict rules for the local sects and clans, but the Five Mountain Province was far more free and chaotic to create a good place for their disciples to struggle and build their fa.
The actual source of the provinces na was the Five Mountain Sword Sect Alliance. An alliance of five sword sects, split among different Kingdoms, with each of them being nad after a mountain. Just like the Artful Life Alliance was created to allow them to compete with first rate powers, the Five Mountain Sword Sect Alliance was created to allow them to deal on equal terms with a Kingdom. Even if the five sects were in different kingdoms, they were treated with respect and care by the royal families because of their cohesiveness. This greater privilege is what enabled them to lead their province so loosely, since they werent required to contribute so many resources to the Dou Kingdom. As a concession, so of the county prefects were essentially managed by the Dou Kingdom, but it ant they had free reign in the rest of their province.
Sage had only picked up bits and pieces of this in the past, but now that they were heading to the Five Mountain Province, he brought out a mory Sphere filled with general information that had been collected by his Information Network as well as from the scrolls and books hed looted from his foes. While he was always finding himself too busy to carefully learn it all, he always took care to store it and transfer it onto mory Spheres. That technique he invented long ago to copy pages and maps into a mory Sphere at high speed served him quite well. Most of it really wasnt important, but he wanted to know as much as possible before falling under their protection. In the past he didnt have much choice so he chose to trust them with Kings wives and children.
This could all be so sort of elaborate trap. Sending Song Lu Tian to help save , just to lure back and complete their collection of monsters. The Human Seal is definitely no secret to them now, could they want to steal it?
Sages worries turned out to be unfounded. The Mount Song Sword Sect were indifferent to his arrival. They t with only one Elder Song who greeted them and then dismissed them just as quickly, treating the matter as only a minor trifle. Sage could tell the man felt no threat whatsoever from the enemies that had given him such a terrible ti. For him it was a great calamity, but to the Mount Song Sword Sect it wasnt anything but air. They were sent to stay with the rest of Kings family and found that theyd been given their own mountain.
Unsurprisingly, many of Kings children had already ford many relationships with the Mount Song Sword Sect mbers. They had brought many Hoplites along with them, which ant they already had access to a crude Human Seal. Many hundreds of Bird type Demonic Beasts had already been collected from all over and inducted into this plan. They were given Human Seals and could form partnerships with the Sect cultivators. The Beasts werent official mbers of the Sect, but they could act as mounts or fight together as partners in exchange for cultivation resources. The crude Human Seals left them all looking like demi-humans with feathery ears and clawed fingers, but it only took a short while for the people of the province to grow accustod to the demi-human teammates of the Mount Song Sword Sect Disciples.
The Tiankong Family basically beca the beast taming division that the Mount Song Sword Sect never had and were treated quite decently. Sage was quite happy that Song Lu Tian had been able to secure such a nice place for them. He was afraid they would get turned into slaves, but because of Song Lu Tian and also the sects reputation, they treated them quite fairly.
