"The task I want to assign you is to leave the sect and go to the far north to find a formation master and ask him to help our Sword Cloud Sect!"
The sect leader slowly explained the details of the mission.
“This mission is extremely difficult because several of our Jianyun Sect members who are out in the field are being watched by various forces. Therefore, you must complete this journey alone and without being discovered by anyone.”
The sect leader continued, "This mission is very difficult and will take a long time. It can be said to be one of the most difficult missions that the outer sect deacons of the Sword Cloud Sect have undertaken in recent years."
"This mission only requires you to deliver this letter in my hand to a formation master in the Northern Kingdom. He has always owed me a favor, and now it's time to repay it."
As the sect leader spoke, he took out a small envelope and handed it to Chen Zhou.
"Sect Master, could you also suggest which array master to entrust it to?" Chen Zhou nodded and asked. Since he had agreed, he would grit his teeth and persevere, no matter how difficult it was.
"I will tell you about this when you set off. It is a storage ring that can be used for storage. It has 100 square meters of storage space. You can put all your daily necessities and other things in it, which is very convenient."
As he spoke, the sect leader took off his storage ring and handed it to Chen Zhou. Chen Zhou nodded. His master had taught him how to use the storage ring. He only needed to use a little true energy to put things into the storage ring and take them out in the same way.
"My presence has been completely erased from this storage ring. You only need to input a little of your true energy, and the storage ring will automatically recognize you as its owner. Only your true energy can open the storage ring."
The sect leader continued, then slowly regained his previous cold expression: "You have just entered the Foundation Establishment stage, so you need to choose a major cultivation method as soon as possible. This is only the beginning of your cultivation journey."
"The cultivation realms, from small to large, are the Foundation Establishment Stage, the Enlightenment Stage, the Fusion Stage, and the Heartbeat Stage. These are the four stages of Core Formation, which are also the four important stages to enter the realm of a true powerhouse. Once you pass the four stages of Core Formation, you become a true immortal, refining your golden core and entering the Golden Core Stage."
"Your master and the other six elders are only at the Heartbeat stage. Refining the Golden Core is an extremely difficult hurdle and a major watershed for cultivators. Many people spend their entire lives trying to overcome it, but I was fortunate enough to successfully refine the Golden Core a hundred years ago and enter the Golden Core stage."
As Chen Zhou listened to the sect leader's words, it was as if he had entered another new world. He had heard about the realms beyond the Foundation Establishment stage, but he had never studied them in such detail.
"In the entire Southern Kingdom, I am the only Golden Core cultivator. This is why our Southern Kingdom is so weak. Other sects have many Golden Core cultivators and are very powerful."
Chen Zhou nodded. It's likely that the Southern Kingdom has been trying to maintain good relations with the Sword Sect because of the sect leader's presence. With a Golden Core realm expert among them, no one dares to truly attack the Southern Kingdom.
"Chen Zhou, the heavy responsibility of the Sword Cloud Sect rests on your shoulders. Whether you can complete this mission will determine the fate of the Sword Cloud Sect."
After saying this, the sect leader disappeared, leaving only his last words: "Let's set off tomorrow."
Chen Zhou stood there, clenched his fist, and nodded. The outside world is so wonderful, why not go and see it?
Thinking it over, Chen Zhou picked up the Heavy Edge Sword and put it into his storage ring. Then he turned back the way he came, left the cave, and left one mountain after another. Since he had not yet learned to fly on a sword, he could only walk steadily, one step at a time.
"Ding! The host has not cultivated for one minute. Qi and blood value +4, root bone value +3, true qi value +4."
......
Chen Zhou set off in the morning and walked until evening before finally returning to his wooden cabin on the hilltop. As soon as he entered, he wanted to lie down heavily on the bed.
Only by resting properly can I cultivate properly and complete this glorious mission.
Chen Zhou thought to himself with a happy mood, naturally very excited about leaving the sect.
Like anyone else, I was excited to be going on my first trip after staying home for so long.
Chen Zhou was no exception. He really wanted to sleep, but he was too excited to fall asleep. He could only stare blankly at the roof of the cabin and listen to the system voice in his mind.
Chen Zhou now believes that he will never be lonely even if he goes to complete the mission alone, because he has system notifications at all times, and he also has Ren Lao.
Sitting in the wooden house, Chen Zhou waited for a long time. He thought his junior sister would come to find him.
But why hadn't he appeared yet? Chen Zhou was getting anxious.
Is something bad going to happen?
Just as Chen Zhou was feeling down, the Third Elder appeared.
He was carrying a large box of books and soon appeared before Chen Zhou.
"What are you daydreaming about? You've broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, why aren't you choosing a major cultivation technique?"
The Third Elder spoke with some urgency, having already heard that Chen Zhou was to depart the next day. He had never wanted Chen Zhou to take on any stewardship duties.
The outer sect steward missions are far too dangerous.
However, even the seven elders had no choice but to obey the sect leader's order.
"Master, where is Jiang Ying? I haven't seen her."
Chen Zhou didn't even glance at the book in the Third Elder's hand, and asked directly.
The Third Elder paused slightly. Hadn't that girl already gone down the mountain?
