Xianxia: Against The Trend

Spiritual pond

After getting the correct information about the spiritual pond he went to his place to sleep.

He had not slept for a long time, and this time he needed it to restore his spirit.

Reading books and practicing swords every day was indeed tiring, not in line with his previous life experience.

Even students then could relax in his previous life and have sleep, but since it helped him improve his cultivation and understanding of this foreign world he had no choice but to take certain directions.

The information he had gathered from the library also allowed him to have a clear understanding of where he stood in this big world.

Based on his understanding not everyone could enter the main sect.

But the same time, after cultivation level reached a certain point entry to the main sects is usually easy for city branch sects.

He was excited about it too until he realized that the sect one joins is also equivalent to the resources one obtains.

For him, such a decision like joining a sect had to wait. Main sects were just deemed as important in the region he was in.

Based on his understanding there was an existence above the sects they were called mansions.

Above mansions were pavilions and they had more influence and even resources.

The information implied an existence of even higher levels but he could not access it. Based on his understanding it would be better to get involved with higher levels and gain more resources.

The most important thing also was that the sect had restrictions once one joins entering another is deemed taboo.

Even in the other regions some sects have the ability to compete with strongest institutions.

The most important thing was that sects have too much politics and even geniuses might not necessarily gain benefits.

Due to the current situation of mankind it is indeed easy to be cultivated but human politics still exist in that situation.

The other institutions on the other hand do lack such mentality and to gain resources one has to accomplish some corresponding tasks.

For starters, attaining some certain level of achievement in their tests or trials. Comprehension of some techniques to a certain level in a certain time limit.

The benefits of sects stem of standing up for their own. But other organizations unless one is very promising or managed to get a strong backer they might not have protection from those who wish to harm them.

Such small problems however also come with benefits since through the situation one can then operate without restrictions on tjeir actions.

Unless the actions go against humanity no one would care. The same time access to resources is not restricted as long as one has the right contribution.

At this time, Huang was sleeping soundly, due to his exhausted spirit and a group of elders seemed to have arrived in the branch sect.

"Elder Shi why are you here this time. Isn't the rewards for entering the spiritual pond just a normal thing." As soon as a middle-aged man saw the individuals arriving he made some guesses but still asked.

"Elder Lu you have me indeed stayed in this remote place for too long. This time we are here to see those with innate talents and pull them into our sect. Those body cultivators have also managed to use such tricks to steal good seedlings." The man replied rather in a modest manner.

Elder Lu looked at elder Shu and the other white haired woman and just suppressed his thoughts.

Based on the attitude of elder Shi he could see that the woman's identity was not to be questioned.

At the same time, he knew elder Shi, some old fox like him did not care for sect benefits of bringing in a talent.

Perhaps those elders with low positions would still view such things as important but to elder Shi or even Lu they were not worth much.

He had been tasked in guarding the region to some extent it indicated the dark species was almost influencing some locals and might attack anytime.

The existence of devil sects was something to do with it too.

Devil sects are not treated well and any found will be immediately destroyed and members together with it.

The destruction of such entities to the world is too much and since they have joined the enemy then no mercy can be shown.

The number of people killed by the dark species has been increasing for a longer period of time..

The dark species seem to be also endless as they keep coming in the world, but it is more unfavorable to have another internal betrayal.

For someone like that, no mercy is to be provided due to the casualties of humans that have occurred due to the invasion.

Demonic sects are thus not well viewed aa even the cultivation techniques they use are mainly from the other side.

Taking things into consideration, the world is more complicated and Huang feels hr needs to gain more information.

As the discussion between the three took place the next day arrived and everyone was confirmed to have arrived before the entrance to the spiritual pool was opened.

Standing in the crowd, Huang felt some fragrance assault his nose, at this time he understood the reason for many people being obsessed with gaining an opportunity to enter.

He could hardly suppress his urge to run into the pool but it was not just him.

After permission was given twenty individuals rushed in but that did not last long.

The individuals that rushed up were at the front swam but before they could move any further they were unable to move further.

The situation was not as good as they thought, the further one moved in the pond the higher spiritual concentration there is.

Huang had read this in the library so he took his time but found other six were like him.

Apparently they also had some information, this told him that the academy situation. Such people's backgrounds might be better than most and the blue haired teens were also among them.

After observing everyone he closed his eyes and started to absorb the spiritual energy in the pool.

It was too much that even he was sure he couldn't faze it at all. He thus set all his efforts on it and the energy being absorbed was then forced to travel around his body and in the beginning it was somehow taxing but with time the speed increased.

The same time, his body was expelling impurities as the blood was being purified.

The process was slow and each had no deadline for staying in the pool.

The time set might be depended on how much energy one could hold.

Sitting cross-legged in the spiritual pool everyone was busy trying to improve their realms to the highest level. But some individuals seemed to have better techniques and this is aimed at creating a good foundation.

Outside everyone was holding a discussion on who is going to stay for long.

In the same time, the elders that came from outside especially the woman with Elder Shi seemed to be having it easy. Just relaxing in a carefree manner.
