"Shamate Clan?" Cen Yun murmured these words, "Senior Gu Xiao, what does Shamate an?"
"It's a term from my hotown. Shamate ans the forefront of trend, representing the most advanced ideas and the attitude of us young people." Zhang nglong explained seriously.
"It sounds like it has deep aning!"
"As expected of Senior Gu Xiao, even choosing a na is so sophisticated."
"Yeah, aren't we these new intern disciples representing the most advanced ideas and the youngest attitude? This is practically tailor-made for us."
"From today, our organization will be the Shamate Clan."
After listening to Zhang nglong's explanation, everyone surprisingly resonated imnsely with this na.
"This is damn easy to bluff." Zhang nglong rolled his eyes, casually spouting nonsense and unexpectedly fooling them greatly.
...
"Everyone get ready, we're almost there." After several days of sailing, they finally arrived at the location of Sunset Sect.
Sunset Sect is located on a huge island outside the continent. The area of this island is so large, it is almost equivalent to several major ninth-grade empires. Legends say this is where the final beam of sunlight disappears each continent's day-night cycle.
The island is surrounded by a mist, reportedly a very advanced formation. Even Dao realm experts might get lost in this dense fog.
Visitors must break through this layer of mist to enter Sunset Sect.
Of course, people within the sect have their unique ways to find entrance thods into the sect. With a beam of light guiding the way, the ship sailed for five or six minutes, penetrating the hazy mist.
Suddenly, a vast space appeared before everyone's eyes.
The entire Sunset Sect is like a world bathed in sunset's afterglow, emanating a feeling of tranquility and peace.
The buildings here aren't particularly flamboyant; on the contrary, they appear quite simple.
The only special attraction of Sunset Sect seems to be the central area, the golden lake occupying nearly one fifth of the island's space.
When Zhang nglong saw this golden lake, an item stored in his spatial storage device began to quiver as if sensed. It was the special mirror he obtained from an elder of Sunset Sect!
"What a huge lake!"
"What lake, that's the Sunset River, the core of the entire Sunset Sect." A seemingly knowledgeable youth imdiately educated them.
"This is the Sunset River?" Zhang nglong clearly rembered, a crucial condition for practicing the Nine Nether Sunset Art was that the cultivator must imrse themselves in the Sunset River.
The energy cultivated in the Nine Nether Sunset Art is fortune energy, which, once combined with a martial artist's energy, can unleash terrifying power, allowing unimaginable strength with simple gestures.
However, normally, fortune energy is difficult to perceive; only by imrsing oneself in this extraordinarily special Sunset River can one feel the omnipresent force of fortune.
"Senior Gu Xiao, this Sunset River is very special," the youth eagerly moved to Zhang nglong's side upon noticing his interest.
"Oh, you know a lot about it?"
"Yes," the youth smiled, "I have an older brother who is an outer sect disciple of Sunset Sect. When he visited ho, he ntioned it to ."
"Then tell just how special this thing is."
"Haha, here's how it is: my brother said the Sunset River was born from a very small spring that can liquidate energy. So, in the Sunset River, it's not water, but extrely pure energy."
"But this energy is very special, it is not regular energy, but a fusion of another energy known as fortune force. The water fusing with fortune force becos extraordinarily special; imrsion within refines the body and purifies existing energy, and can significantly elevate life levels."
"Good stuff!" Zhang nglong sighed.
"Every disciple joining Sunset Sect gets one chance to imrse themselves in the Sunset River upon entering for the first ti. After that, further imrsions require spending sect's contribution values, so we must cherish this chance."
"Anything to be cautious about?" Zhang nglong asked.
"Yes," the youth continued, "My brother said the longer you soak in the Sunset River, the more benefits you receive, but most people can't endure too long inside."
"Oh? Why is that?"
"Because it's a very painful process to purify energy and temper the body. Once you imrse in the Sunset River, your body faces strong pressure. Staying too long overburdens the body, and the longer you stay, the greater the pressure becos."
"How long did your brother last?"
"Less than an hour," replied the youth, "My brother was considered quite gifted. After the assessnt, his life level reached Divine Breath Eighth Grade. Upon erging, his realm directly soared to peak of Divine Breath Eighth Grade, even surpassing so Ninth Grade in energy purity."
"Only one hour, is it that torturous?" Zhang nglong murmured to himself.
"The longest anyone has persisted was just a day and night, and you should know about that person, Brother Lei Poguan, who mastered three layers of Nine Nether Sunset Art, a super formidable guy."
"Everyone, disembark!" As the ship steadied, everyone began disembarking one after another.
"This is where you'll live for the next three years," indicated an Elder, pointing to an outer section.
It's a section of very straightforward simple buildings, almost looking plain.
"Today you can tidy up your accommodation, tomorrow morning, gather here again; I'll take you to soak in the Sunset River!"
Just hearing about the Sunset River made most people filled with anticipation.
"Dismissed!"
Following the Elder's command, young talents rushed towards the living area, eager to select good spots for their three-year stay.
About accommodation, Zhang nglong didn't have many demands, but the Shamate Clan indeed respected him, leaving the largest and best-positioned space for Zhang nglong after checking the whole area.
No one noticed, at this mont, several Elders were secretly observing them from afar.
"Seeing their excitent now, I rember my early days at Sunset Sect."
"Let them be excited for a while longer; soon they won't be able to laugh."
"Hahaha, tradition of senior mbers educating and intimidating juniors is our Sunset Sect's proud culture."
"Not necessarily! Don't forget, this batch has the anomaly, Gu Xiao."
"Who knows who will teach whom this ti."
