Heavenly Sword Sect
Thanks to Ding Junhua's deliberate propaganda, news of his impending duel with Xiao Shitou spread throughout the Tianjian Sect.
"Hey, have you heard? Ding Junhua from Lieyang Peak and Guo Yunkai from Lengyue Peak are going to have a showdown at Fengyuntai in a month."
"Tch, what's the big deal? Isn't it normal for disciples to spar? Besides, Blazing Sun Peak and Cold Moon Peak have always disliked each other."
"Wait, who were you talking about just now?"
"Hehe, now you know the key point, right? It's that genius Elder Zhang of Lengyue Peak brought back two years ago, named Guo Yunkai."
"It's him. I heard he's already in the late Foundation Establishment stage, and will soon reach the Foundation Establishment Perfection stage. He's really a prodigy."
"Who says otherwise? Rumor has it that he is the future master of Cold Moon Peak, with a bright future ahead of him."
"That's nothing compared to what you've already done. He's already attracted the attention of the sect leader and the supreme elders. Some even say he's the future sect leader of our Heavenly Sword Sect."
"Seriously? You guys are getting more and more ridiculous. I have no problem with calling him a genius or a prodigy. But he's just a Foundation Establishment kid, and you call him a sect leader? Are you kidding me?"
"Who knows? I just heard it from someone else."
"Hey, who is Ding Junhua who is fighting Guo Yunkai? I don't think I've heard of him before."
"I don't know him either. He's probably just an ordinary disciple from Lieyang Peak."
Many people in the Heavenly Sword Sect know Little Stone, but not Ding Junhua.
Ding Junhua's publicity efforts were quite effective; the entire Tianjian Sect, from top to bottom, knew about it.
The main reason for this is the level of attention Little Stone receives within the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Little Stone himself didn't feel anything about the attention he received.
Since taking on Little Stone as his disciple, Zhang Kaicheng, the carefree True Monarch, was very proud of himself, and for this he was even praised by the sect leader Deng Tianning.
If he had a tail, it would probably be wagging its tail in the air.
Zhang Kaicheng is currently enjoying a leisurely cup of tea in Luo Yong's cave on Tianxing Peak.
Luo Yong is an elder of Tianxing Peak and has a good relationship with Zhang Kaicheng; they are close friends.
He asked Zhang Kaicheng curiously:
"Hey Lao Zhang, your disciple Guo Yunkai's affair has caused quite a stir right now. Instead of teaching your disciple, you have the leisure to drink tea here with me. Aren't you worried at all?"
Zhang Kaicheng waved his hand dismissively and said:
"It was just a normal sparring match. It must have been that old man Zhao Mingzhen who made all the commotion, causing chaos and making everyone think something serious had happened."
You know my disciple, Old Man Luo. He's alright in cultivation, but forget about fighting.
I've tried to persuade them, but it's no use. If we lose, we lose; it's okay to suffer a little.
Luo Yong looked at him helplessly and said seriously, "Old Zhang, are you really not remembering or are you just pretending to be confused? Do you think this matter is really that simple?"
Zhang Kaicheng looked at Luo Yong's serious expression with a face full of doubt.
"It's just a sparring match between disciples, what's so great about it? At most, it's just that old guy Zhao Mingzhen doesn't like me and wants to use Yun Kai to climb the ranks."
Luo Yong sighed helplessly, "It seems you haven't realized the seriousness of this matter. You didn't listen to a word I said before."
Zhang Kaicheng was even more puzzled, "What did you say to me?"
Luo Yong was speechless. "We told you about our Heavenly Sword Sect's Prodigy Plan a long time ago."
Zhang Kaicheng was even more confused. "What 'Prodigy Project'? When did you ever tell me about this?"
Luo Yong was completely convinced of his superiority and pointed at him, cursing:
"Do you still remember Elder Sun Fan, whom you met when you came to have a drink with me half a year ago?"
"Of course I remember. He came from Tianxing Peak, right? What's wrong?"
Luo Yong sighed helplessly, "Have you forgotten what I said to you when we were drinking that time?"
Zhang Kaicheng shrugged. "What did you say? Are you sure you said it?"
Luo Yong pointed at his nose and cursed, "I'm so angry with you! I thought you had another plan, but I didn't expect you to have forgotten about it at all."
Zhang Kaicheng was also getting anxious, "Then tell me quickly what it is."
Luo Yong could only repeat the story again.
"Our Heavenly Sword Sect actually started preparing a plan a year ago, called the Prodigy Project."
This is aimed at promising young disciples, especially those at the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages. Otherwise, why would Xiao Fan, a Foundation Establishment disciple, receive so much attention?
Even if he's a genius, he's only at the Foundation Establishment stage. The path of cultivation is long and arduous; don't you find that strange?"
"Go on."
"The 'Heavenly Pride Plan' is our Heavenly Sword Sect's preparation to advance into the Holy Domain, and there may be two methods."
One option is to directly establish a sect in the Holy Domain; the other is to send disciples to other forces for training, provide resources and assistance, and then give back to the sect.
The specifics haven't been decided yet, but in any case, it's a spot to go to the Holy Land, which is very rare.
Do you know what the Holy Land is? It's a paradise for cultivators, a place teeming with geniuses and experts, where competition is fierce, but it's also a wonderful and vast world.
If a disciple is chosen, we, as their masters, will go with them. Don't you want to see the outside world?
Zhang Kaicheng was stunned by what Luo Yong said, what was this "Prodigy Plan" and "Sacred Domain".
"Oh, is that so? Are you sure you said that? I don't remember saying it at all."
Luo Yong snorted coldly.
"You may not remember, but I clearly do. After Elder Sun Fan left, we were drinking and talking about this."
You were full of enthusiasm then, patting me on the shoulder and saying, "Old Luo, the Holy Land is where we belong. Staying in Yizhou is a waste of our talents. We must go!"
