"Mm, go ahead." Xia Daoyun nodded gently, "Choose a pavilion for yourself in Hanguang Courtyard."
"Yes." Lu Qingshan respectfully replied, then retreated and headed straight towards Hanguang Courtyard.
The Western Rat King, who didn’t dare to speak or even breathe loudly, quickly leaped onto Lu Qingshan’s shoulder.
Xia Daoyun watched Lu Qingshan’s departing figure, ripples appearing in her eyes.
She had heard of Lu Qingshan’s battle achievents.
Having just advanced to Divinity Transformation, he managed to slay three early-stage Integration cultivators. Later, with the cultivation of Divine Transformation Perfection, he smashed open the Qing Luo Sect’s Sect Protection Array with a single sword strike.....
Xia Daoyun was convinced that Lu Qingshan now likely possessed the combat power of a mid-stage Integration cultivator.
Moreover, in her view, with Lu Qingshan’s talent, this was definitely not his limit but rely a beginning.
In the coming period, Lu Qingshan should experience a phase of rapid progression.
Thinking about to what level he would reach in the Divinity Transformation Realm, filled her with anticipation. Even if he eventually attains the combat power of a late-stage Integration cultivator, Xia Daoyun wouldn’t be too surprised.
......
Yun Pass, Hanguang Courtyard.
It is a neatly arranged architectural complex, inhabited by many Integration cultivators of Yun Pass.
To reside in Hanguang Courtyard, aside from being in the Integration Realm, one must also et the battle rits requirent.
Thus, any cultivator who could own a pavilion in Hanguang Courtyard was not only an Integration cultivator but generally among the elites of Integration cultivators.
Lu Qingshan walked along the wide paths of Hanguang Courtyard, searching for a suitable pavilion.
The pavilions that were already inhabited all had plaques with large inscriptions hanging high at their entrances, just like the Liuxu Pavilion plaque hanging outside Xia Daoyun’s travelling palace.
If uninhabited, a blank plaque would be hung.
It was clearly distinguishable at a glance.
"Lu Qingshan." A familiar voice called out.
"Hmm?" Following the source of the voice, Lu Qingshan turned his head and saw the figure of a male cultivator in a grey robe at the entrance of a pavilion not far away.
"Deputy General Tang." Recognizing his features, Lu Qingshan greeted.
It was indeed Tang Ze, the Deputy General of Falling Goose Pass.
Previously, he had shattered the blood-stained warship with a single sword strike, resolving the crisis at Falling Goose Pass, which had led to so interactions with this person.
Tang Ze, who owed a favor to Lu Qingshan for safeguarding Falling Goose Pass, had a lot of goodwill towards Lu Qingshan, and thus greeted him warmly, "Young Sect Master Lu, are you going to see your master?"
Being polite, Tang Ze sighed inwardly....
After Lu Qingshan saved Falling Goose Pass from catastrophe with a single sword strike, he had always held Lu Qingshan in high regard, believing that Lu Qingshan’s future achievents would certainly be extraordinary.
But to elevate him to such an esteem was purely high regard, and how could he have anticipated that in less than a year, this Void Refining novice entering Yun Pass would transform into the renowned Young Sect Leader of the Sword Sect?
"I just ca from my master," Lu Qingshan shook his head and explained, "My master told to choose a pavilion as my residence in Yun Pass."
"Oh, I see." Tang Ze, understandingly, looked at Lu Qingshan and then said, "Now that you’ve reached Divinity Transformation, you indeed qualify to have your own travelling palace in Yun Pass."
"However," he pointed to another area filled with neatly arranged buildings and enveloped in spiritual energy, "Guiyi Courtyard is over there, you’ve taken the wrong path."
"My master said to choose a pavilion in Hanguang Courtyard as my travelling palace." Lu Qingshan explained.
Tang Ze was initially taken aback, then his heart trembled, and he involuntarily furrowed his brows.
It wasn’t dissatisfaction but concern.
Tang Ze had always been extrely grateful to Lu Qingshan for saving Falling Goose Pass, so he truly harbored no dissatisfaction regarding this matter.
However...Yun Pass is a border battlefield.
At such a critical border location, everything must be done by the rules.
Having one’s own travelling palace in Hanguang Courtyard was a privilege reserved only for Integration cultivators with distinguished battle rits.
There are even many Tribulation Crossing cultivators whose travelling palaces are still located in Hanguang Courtyard due to insufficient battle rits.
So how would the Integration cultivators and Tribulation Crossing cultivators in Hanguang Courtyard view a suddenly arriving Divinity Transformation cultivator like Lu Qingshan?
Though Yun Pass is led by the Sword Sect, it is not solely a Sword Sect dominion; there are countless cultivators from other sects.
As the ruling sect, the Sword Sect must do things to earn the respect of other cultivators.
Even as the Young Sect Leader of the Sword Sect, one cannot act recklessly!
If there isn’t a sufficiently convincing reason, this will have so impact on the Sword Sect’s prestige at Yun Pass, however slight it may be.
"Have you enough battle rits?" Tang Ze cautiously asked.
Lu Qingshan answered, "Yes, my accumulated battle rits have already raised my clearance to Grade B."
Grade B clearance is the threshold of battle rits required to reside in Hanguang Courtyard.
"Is that so..." Tang Ze’s heart trembled, he hadn’t expected that the massive amount of battle rits that Integration cultivators required millennia to accumulate had already been reached by Lu Qingshan?
He knew about the initial eight thousand battle rits, but the remaining two thousand, for a Divinity Transformation cultivator, was certainly not sothing achievable in a short ti.
Despite the uncertainty in his heart, Tang Ze said nothing more, nodded and said, "Then go ahead and find one. I have matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving first."
He just returned to Yun Pass to report on the matters of Falling Goose Pass and, incidentally, to check on his travelling palace, and now he’s preparing to return to Falling Goose Pass.
