Eighteen years old and he had the cultivation of the third sky of Dao comprehension. Moreover, his cultivation had reached this level in just a year. Even with the guidance of his master, the ones able to catch up to Lei Ao were only those rare geniuses.

It could be imagined that Lei Ao's potential in the future was limitless. With the blade faction taking in this good seedling, the various large sects couldn't sit still anymore. They believed that not long from now, the blade faction's strength would break the balance in the current cultivation world.

In the room, the blade faction leader and Lei Ao sat facing each other and said: "Now that you have joined the sect, there are some things that I need to explain to you. My name is Shi Yuan, I am the blade faction's outer hall master. "

The blade faction was divided into two parts, one was the outer court, and the other was responsible for the sect's diplomatic affairs. Second, the inner hall was responsible for the operations of the entire sect. The main members were the grand master and the various grand elders, and they held the greatest power.

The Tyrant Sword Pavilion and the Saber Sect were the two strongest sects in the cultivation world. They had always been secretly competing with each other, seemingly wanting to distinguish between the strong and weak on the surface. In reality, it was not because they wanted to annex that huge faction.

Regardless of who annexed who, either of these two forces had the opportunity to unify the entire cultivation world. Although the other sects were not lacking experts, their numbers were far inferior. Unless all the sects formed an alliance, only then would they be able to stand on equal grounds with the blade faction's Sword Pavilion.

The blade and sword sects had always fought openly and secretly, while the other sects just watched with cold eyes. They were safe and sound. But now with Lei Ao, this genius, joining, the blade faction would definitely dominate the Tyrant Sword Pavilion. At that time, that invisible balance would be broken and the cultivation world would no longer be calm.

This was the reason why the leaders of the Tyrant Sword Pavilion and various sects had such a hard time dealing with Lei Ao. If it wasn't for the middle-aged man's interference, they probably wouldn't have been able to stop themselves from destroying Lei Ao.

"The one who spoke for you was called Yang Feng, he's from the Rogue League," Shi Yuan said.

The Dispersion Alliance was not a sect, but an alliance of rogue cultivators. Lei Ao saw the description on the stone steps.

This alliance only gathered the rogue cultivators together, preventing the large sects from bullying you. Even if you joined, it would not restrict your freedom.

Originally, this was the most suitable choice for Lei Ao, but this Rogue Cultivator would not teach you how to cultivate. Those rogue cultivators would act on their own and occasionally do some quests for the Alliance in exchange for some Pulse Crystals.

Although Yang Feng was young, he held a very high position in the Rogue Alliance. It was said that he was persecuted by a certain sect when he was young.

From Shi Yuan's words, Lei Ao knew that this Yang Feng was unfathomably powerful. The first thing he did after joining the Rogue Alliance was to snatch the vein crystal mine from the hands of the various factions, forcing them to reshuffle and acknowledge the existence of the Rogue Alliance.

"Listening to his last words, it seems like your strength is not just at the third level of enlightenment. Just what is going on?" Shi Yuan raised his teacup and looked at Lei Ao with a puzzled expression.

"This …" Lei Ao hesitated for a moment and honestly replied: "I am indeed only at the Third Sky of Sky Realm, but my cultivation is a bit higher."

"How high?"

"Nine Heavens."

Puff. Shi Yuan spat out his tea crazily, and his face showed great shock. It took him a while to come back to his senses, "The Nine Heavens …" How was this possible? You really only cultivated for a year? "

"I only cultivated for a year. However, after I escaped from the village, I once ate a type of golden fruit. It was at that time that my cultivation level increased."

Lei Ao had already thought of a way to put it, so he slightly modified his story, and carefully described the appearance of the golden fruit tree to Shi Yuan.

"I've never seen such a fruit." Shi Yuan shook his head and said, "But spiritual roots that can help you improve are extremely rare. It's such a great fortune for you to have such a fortuitous encounter."

The two talked for a while longer. Shi Yuan tapped on Lei Ao's body from the side, didn't find anything suspicious, and told him to go back and rest.

On the second day, the disciple recruitment test continued, but Shi Yuan brought Lei Ao back to the blade faction first, leaving the disciple recruitment to the others.

No matter what, a good seedling like Lei Ao, which was rarely seen in ten thousand years, was enough to attract the attention of the old people within the sect. With the way the Tyrant Sword Pavilion did things, they would not let Shi Yuan easily take Lei Ao away.

So in order to be safe, Shi Yuan had used the cicada in the middle of the night. By the time the large sects discovered them, the two of them had already arrived at the foot of the blade faction.

The blade faction was built behind a towering mountain, the cliff was very steep, and there was no way to climb up. The stone wall carried Lei Ao and flew, and after a few jumps, they arrived at the peak.

This mountain peak was called Sky Blade, but it was the blade faction's barrier. It was just to prevent mortals from entering, but behind the mountain was a low mountain range. On the mountain range, there were buildings. This was the blade faction's sect.

At the highest point of the mountain range, there were several grand halls, the largest of which was the blade faction headquarters. It was the sect head's place to handle matters, and the rest were where the elders of the sect lived.

Shi Yuan brought Lei Ao and ran straight to the main hall. He stopped at the door and said to Lei Ao, "I'll go see the Sect Leader first. Stay here and don't leave."

Lei Ao agreed as he looked around at his surroundings.

The main hall took up a large amount of space. Behind it was a bamboo forest, and it was quiet and serene. There were a few elders' houses nearby, but all of them were closed.

According to what Shi Yuan said, these old fellows always liked to go into closed door cultivation when they had something to do.

On the east side was a large herb field, and each of them was being guarded by a person. This was an important resource of the large sect, and the person in charge of the herb field was a new disciple.

While guarding the medicinal field, the elders of the sect would teach them how to use the true energy within their body. Only when they achieved a certain level of cultivation, or were selected by an elder, would they officially become inner sect disciples.

The time that the new disciple spent guarding the medicine field was three years, which meant that Lei Ao's first three years would also be spent in the medicine field.

There were many buildings on the south side of the hall and it was also the most lively area. From time to time, loud and clear shouts could be heard and people would spar with each other every day in order to increase each other's strength.

Not too long in the future, he would become one of them. Lei Ao had a faint sense of anticipation.

After a while, Shi Yuan came out to let Lei Ao in and reminded him, "The Sect Leader has summoned you personally and seems to have the intention of taking you in as his disciple. You have to be careful when you ask him questions."

Master is taking me in as his disciple? Lei Ao felt a bit dizzy. This happiness came too fast.

Sitting in the middle of the hall was a middle-aged man who appeared to be in his forties. His eyes were sharp like lightning, and his expression did not seem angry at all. This was the blade faction sect master. Just his casual posture was enough to make Lei Ao feel a great deal of pressure.

As the head of a sect, he was the symbol of the sect's spirit. He didn't have a name, only a nickname: Saber Emperor!

Just like the Tyrant Sword Pavilion's Sword Emperor, the Saber Emperor's strength and influence had always been among the top in the cultivation world. He was the kind of expert that could shake the world by stomping his feet.

"Your name is Lei Ao?" The Saber Emperor smiled amiably. "There's no need to be nervous. Let's sit and talk."

"Master Xie, uh, I think I'll just stand there." Lei Ao didn't dare to act rashly.

"Shi Yuan told me everything about you. You escaped because you killed someone, and on the way, you accidentally ate a kind of golden fruit, which allowed you to reach the ninth heaven of enlightenment, right?"

The Saber Emperor did not ask about strength. The cultivation realm was very important to him. As long as he could reach that realm, raising his strength was only a matter of time.

"Yes." Lei Ao repeated the words in his heart. Facing the sharp gaze of the Saber Emperor, he didn't even dare to raise his head.

Furthermore, the place of Lei Ao's birth had previously been verified by Daoist Priest Huairen. It did indeed have the name Sang Mo Village. The Saber Sect only needed to send someone over to investigate and they would know. Saber Emperor believed that Lei Ao would not lie.

Eighteen years old and at the ninth level of the Refinement Realm, his zhenqi awakened by itself in the midst of battle and he successfully opened up all twelve meridians. If one were to look at the most outstanding disciples of the various sects with such aptitude, it was as rare as phoenix feathers or qilin horns.

From the very beginning, when he heard Shi Yuan's one-sided speech, to now, he had witnessed it with his own eyes, the Saber Emperor was indeed very interested in Lei Ao.

But as the head of a sect, every word and action had a profound effect on the sect. If he accepted a disciple, then his disciple would also become one of the candidates to become the next sect head.

Therefore, he had no choice but to treat this seriously. Even if he wanted to accept a disciple, it was not something that he could decide on by himself.
