Having not visited Bixian Mountain for many years, the Pavilion Master of Cangzhen Sword Pavilion still felt that the rumors in the martial arts world were true.
The Bixian Sect has indeed declined somewhat.
However, she also saw signs of the Bixian Sect's revival, like a withered tree sprouting new leaves.
The new houses under construction, the constantly activated teleportation array, and the divine sword radiating divine light in the distance all instantly fill one with awe for the Bixian Sect.
"As expected of a celestial sect, with a thousand-year heritage, it still has considerable foundation," the Pavilion Master of the Hidden True Sword Pavilion asserted.
Seeing how much the Pavilion Master valued the Jade Immortal Sect, Lu Ruoshui, the successor of the Heavenly Mandate, felt relieved and happy.
Her biggest worry was that the Sword Pavilion would look down on her brother Ye's sect.
Seeing that the Pavilion Master already valued the Bixian Sect so much, Lu Ruoshui was naturally delighted.
The disciples of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, being newcomers, also curiously examined the great sword in the Hidden Profound Valley that occasionally flashed with divine light, and began to discuss with curiosity what kind of ancient ruin it was that was so magical.
"Our sister sect has arrived. Welcome, welcome to the Pavilion Master! Our sect has truly failed to greet you properly, please forgive us." Zhang Yuzhen, accompanied by her husband, the Sect Master of Yanbing Sect, and her senior sister and other disciples, came to welcome the Cangzhen Sword Pavilion group.
The phrase "sister sects" truly resonated with Xu Qingzhu of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, instantly bringing her immense joy and allowing her to feel the deep-rooted and long-standing relationship between the two sects. It wasn't just empty politeness; she genuinely felt the passionate bond between the sister sects.
Pavilion Master Xu Qingzhu immediately came over to greet Zhang Yuzhen: "Since we are sister sects, we are like family. There is no need for a distant welcome. It is I who feel sorry for disturbing you today with all of Qingzhu and her disciples."
After a series of responses, and of course, some pleasantries, that's how feelings develop.
During the pleasantries, they got to know each other. The Pavilion Master of Cangzhen Sword Pavilion met the former leader of Bixian Sect and the current leader of Yanbing Sect. Seeing the two leaders at once, he immediately felt that the trip had been worthwhile.
Senior Sister Qi Xue also said to Lu Ruoshui, "Junior Brother has already instructed that your sect's disciples will live on the mountain just like our sect's disciples. They don't need to go down the mountain to set up camp. They will eat and sleep with us."
"Thank you, Senior Sister. I'll go and inform the Sect Master right away. She'll be so happy to hear that." Lu Ruoshui was delighted; the Bixian Sect was treating them so well and providing such thoughtful hospitality.
As expected, after Lu Ruoshui reported this matter to the Pavilion Master, Pavilion Master Xu Qingzhu repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Zhang Yuzhen, but Zhang Yuzhen refused, saying that this was the proper way.
Please let them rest first, and let her disciples take them to the guest rooms.
Pavilion Master Xu Qingzhu immediately followed suit and gladly complied, leading her many disciples and several senior sisters to the arranged accommodations.
After arranging rooms for them, the senior sisters also specially instructed Ye Liang's good friend Lu Ruoshui that she should treat the mountain gate as her own sect, and could walk around and enjoy the scenery without having to be formal.
Lu Ruoshui also thanked her fellow disciples from the Sword Pavilion on behalf of her, saying, "Thank you, senior sister. Look, they were thinking the same thing."
They also said that they would definitely visit their senior sisters later to express their gratitude.
"You're too kind," the senior sisters said, leaving after making arrangements for them, telling them not to feel awkward.
Sure enough, after the senior sisters left, the sect leader summoned Lu Ruoshui and several elders for a meeting. She spoke about the relationship between the two factions, and told them about things that their disciples should pay attention to, and not to do anything that would damage the sect's dignity or the sisterhood between the two factions.
These instructions clearly demonstrate how much the Pavilion Master values the sisterly friendship between the two factions.
Although the two factions have a long history of interaction, there has been no substantial contact for decades. To put it bluntly, the reason why the Hidden True Sword Pavilion values its friendship with the Immortal Sect so much must be because the strength of the Jade Immortal Sect has greatly increased, to the point that Pavilion Master Xu Qingzhu believes it must have a great influence in the martial arts world, so it cannot be ignored. That is why the Pavilion is so concerned about maintaining its sisterly friendship with the Jade Immortal Sect.
When the Pavilion Master's instructions were conveyed, all the female disciples of the Hidden True Sword Pavilion gladly accepted the order.
It was a rare treat to have arrived at a sect that was also a women's sect. It was convenient to move around without any worries, so they were naturally happy. Soon, they formed groups of three or five and began to wander around the sect.
Every place has its own local customs and traditions, and every mountain gate has its own unique scenery. The beauty of the immortal sect is different from that of their sect's sword pavilion, which naturally attracted the disciples' longing.
They started to wander around.
When they encountered disciples from the immortal sects, the disciples would greet them warmly and welcome their arrival. This made the disciples of the Sword Pavilion feel the friendship between the two sects. It wasn't just something that was said when the two sect leaders met; the disciples themselves could feel it.
"Elder, what do you think of Brother Ye's sect?" Lu Ruoshui asked the elder beside her, asking for the opinion of the Bixian Sect on Brother Ye.
Elder Shen, who had a good relationship with Ye Liang in Songcheng, immediately smiled and said, "This trip was worthwhile!"
"Elder, you're right. Those four words are it. This trip was worthwhile!" Pavilion Master Xu Qingzhu, having overheard the conversation between the two behind him, couldn't help but chime in.
"Sect Master!" Seeing the Sect Master interrupt, the two women were naturally worried that they had disturbed his thoughts, and immediately apologized slightly.
Xu Qingzhu waved her hand slightly, not caring about the matter, and then pointed to the ruins of the divine sword that shone with divine light, saying, "That place must be extraordinary. I think it must be the place where the immortal sects inherit their traditions. Since we have come to the Bixian Sect, how can we not pay homage to this divine sword that shines with divine light? Only by going there and paying homage to the divine sword can we say that our trip has been truly worthwhile!"
"Then I'll ride my flying mount and take everyone there." The fact that Ye Liang had given her a flying mount was already known to the sect, and it couldn't be kept secret any longer. Of course, Lu Ruoshui hadn't deliberately tried to hide it from the sect leader or Elder Shen. She had already informed them. So, she could bring it up now.
"It's so convenient that Ruoshui has the Flying Treasure Golden Gourd. Let's go then. I'll trouble Ruoshui to make a few more trips and take our disciples there in batches. They must also want to see the land of the divine sword for themselves." Pavilion Master Xu Qingzhu also made a request to Lu Ruoshui.
Lu Ruoshui was naturally willing to serve her fellow disciples and immediately agreed.
Immediately summon the Golden Gourd and take the Pavilion Master and several elders there first.
Seeing the golden gourd flying above the mountain gate, heading towards the ruins of the divine sword, the junior sister came over to inquire about the situation. After learning that the sisters of the Hidden True Sword Pavilion wanted to pay homage to the divine sword, she gladly rode her flying gourd to help Lu Ruoshui send them there.
With the help of their senior sisters, who used flying treasures to transport them, the Sword Pavilion disciples finally got their wish and went to pay homage to the sacred sword that everyone believed could represent the Bixian Sect.
It feels as if one hasn't truly visited Bixianmen without going here.
