My Informative Cultivation Life

"Let's go, I'll take you to Wenjian Pavilion. You'll be staying there for the next three days," Elder Lin Meng said with a smile.

"Thank you, Elder!" Wang Tianli clasped his hands and bowed.

Yang Ji also collected his thoughts at this moment, no longer dwelling on the matters of the Sword Realm, and followed Wang Tianli and Hao Yun in clasping his hands towards Elder Lin Meng in salute.

Thereupon, the group of three followed Elder Lin Meng to a splendid palace high in the sky.

Elder Ji Shen had already been waiting there.

Following a brief conversation with Elder Ji Shen, Lin Meng left the palace to greet guests from other sects. .net

After Elder Lin Meng had left, Ji Shen turned to Yang Ji and the others, and only then asked, "Did you gain anything from your trip to the Sword Cave?"

The three of them each recounted the sword techniques they had acquired.

Upon hearing the accounts of Wang Tianli and Hao Yun, Ji Shen kept nodding with a continuous smile.

But when Yang Ji spoke, a clear change appeared on Ji Shen's face. Looking deeply at him, he was visibly moved as he said, "Xiao Yang, I didn't expect you to actually obtain a Supreme Sword Technique!

It seems that coming to the Immortal Sword Sect was indeed a fortunate turn of fate for you, and you have brought honor to our Wuji Dao Sect." His smile grew even more radiant, as he lavishly praised Yang Ji with his eyes.

"The disciple just stumbled upon this opportunity by chance," Yang Ji humbly said with a smile.

Stumbled upon chance?

Hao Yun's expression shifted, and he stealthily glanced at Yang Ji twice, thinking back to the previous auction. A thought so preposterous it felt absurd to himself crept into his mind.

Could it be that his luck is even better than mine?

This... should be impossible!

He must have just resonated with the insights of a senior.

Hao Yun shook his head inwardly, dismissing the thought.

As for Yang Ji obtaining a Supreme Sword Technique, Wang Tianli and Hao Yun were only slightly envious and did not dwell on it too much.

After all, both their backgrounds and statuses were extraordinary, and their horizons were beyond what other disciples could compare with. To say nothing of Supreme Sword Techniques, even Immortal Techniques were within their possession.

Therefore, they regarded all of this with equanimity, merely revealing a slight surprise at Yang Ji's fortune amidst their smiles.

In this manner, the group settled down in the palace.

Everyone was happily getting along, seeming to enjoy each other's company. Mingling with these geniuses with grand schemes, broad visions, and great luck, Yang Ji found his own perspective broadening considerably. He asked for advice with an open mind and learned quite a bit.

Additionally, he also learned why the Immortal Sword Sect had hosted such a grand event.

By inviting the Nine Great Dao Sects to participate, the first reason was to encourage exchange, to strengthen the ties and relationships between the various Dao Sects. The second was to accumulate good karma and enhance the sect's fortunes. Giving out gifts was giving opportunities, tying the threads of karma, interweaving bonds of goodwill.

There is no sect in the world that can thrive forever without decline, and the Immortal Sword Sect's actions were simply to create a glimmer of hope for the sect's survival.

Furthermore, as Elder Ji Shen mentioned, events like the Immortal Sword Sect's Sword Appraisal Event were also organized by other sects, only not focused on sword appraising but employing different methods.

For instance, the Chunyang Sect would hold a Pill Appraisal Event every thousand years, the Changsheng Sect would host a Longevity Event every six hundred years, the Divine Ascension Hall would hold a Divine Ascension Event every thousand years, and so on.

Even though the methods varied, they all ultimately served the same purpose of fostering exchanges between Dao Sects.

If calamities arose, with the bonds of acquaintance, other Dao Sects wouldn't stand idly by wherever they can lend help.

Learning from history, all the major sects have grown wiser.

During the three days that Yang Ji and the others stayed in the palace, people from the other Dao Sects also arrived one after another.

After three days, the Immortal Sword Sect sent someone to invite Yang Ji and the others to attend the Sword Appraisal Event.

Yang Ji and the others followed the disciple who had come, soaring into the Nine Heavens Clouds and arriving on a sword platform.

At a glance, there were ten such sword platforms, each looking like a massive pillar reaching for the sky.

Each sword platform was three li apart, arranged in a circular fashion in all ten directions, with clouds and mist swirling around, full of spiritual energy, and auroras shining, displaying an extremely strong celestial atmosphere.

In the middle of the ten sword platforms, there was also a smaller sword platform situated lower, with a name inscribed on it—the Sword Appraisal Platform.

These three characters were strong and forceful, and each stroke seemed like a sharp Flying Sword ready to soar out, giving an intensely sharp sensation akin to swords.

Yang Ji and the others sat down on the sword platform, and now looking out, he saw that the other platforms already had people seated on them.

These were the representatives of the other Dao Sects!

They were from Zangxian Observatory, Chunyang Sect, Kuju Palace, Cangkong Temple, Divine Ascension Hall, Heavenly Dao Sect, Xianyi Sect, Changsheng Sect, in addition to their Wuji Dao Sect and the host, the Immortal Sword Sect—these were the strongest Ten Great Dao Sects of the Taichu World.

The delegates that came from these Dao Sects all brought only four individuals, each of the caliber of top-tier Mahayana, Daozi, True Successor, Quasi True Successor.

These disciples from various sects had distinct appearances and extraordinary demeanors, brimming with valor, clearly individuals with great prospects on the path of immortality.

Yang Ji observed them closely, curious about what the disciples from other Dao Sects were like.

Seeing where his gaze lay, Wang Tianli took it upon himself to introduce, "Junior Brother, see over there at Xianyi Sect, the Daozi they've brought this time is named Fang Tianzhe, a genius who has slain three Dao Calamities."

Yang Ji followed his gaze and saw a young man wearing a moon-white robe with heroically slanting brows, his entire demeanor calm and his presence commanding.

Sensing Wang Tianli's gaze, Fang Tianzhe even offered a faint smile, conveying his greeting with condensed energy, "Brother Wang!"

Wang Tianli smiled back at him, evidently an old acquaintance.
