Transmigration: Children of The Plane

The Soaring Sword Sect\'s Layout

As the Core Elders arrived, Xue Bai and his group obviously were alarmed. After all, who wouldn\'t be at the sudden arrival of almost a dozen Domain Lords?

But after noticing the distinct robes that were only worn by Core Elders of the Soaring Sword Sect, Xue Bai calmed down and greeted them.

"Xue Bai greets Seniors." Xue Bai gave a standard humble greeting by cupping his fists and giving a small bow.

However, as he did, he noticed the odd and analyzing gazes of the Core Elders, especially Old Long, who was staring at him rather intensely.

"Xue Bai, what did you just do?" Elder Song spoke up first.

One, she wanted to build a good relationship with Xue Bai first, and two, since Old Long was still there, she needed to step up first. After all, how could she let that brute talk to Xue Bai?

"That was my Sword Law, Elder." Xue Bai responded kindly in turn.

The old lady was nice to nice, so he would naturally reciprocate.

"But why was it purple? From what I know, no Sword Law branch is purple?" Old Long spoke up from the side with an inquisitive tone.

But before Xue Bai even registered the question, Elder Song smacked Old Long on the back of his head, sending him stumbling into the dirt.

"You old fogey! Xue Bai\'s secrets are his own. So stop trying to dig into them!" Elder Song berated rudely before turning back to Xue Bai.

"Xue Bai, we should go back to the Soaring Sword Sect. The news of your God-tier grade Sword Law affinity is going to spread fast. And while we are one of the top powers in the Southern Continent, there still are forces who are hostile against us, and now you\'ll most likely be their one target for the foreseeable future." Elder Song spoke before going over to Xue Bai, planning to take him to the sect herself.

Not having any problems with the old lady\'s arrangement, Xue Bai nodded but also gave a request.

"Elder, can you bring along my maid and my bodyguards? They have been following me for almost as long as I can remember, and I would like them to come with me to the Soaring Sword Sect." Xue Bai asked.

Looking at who Xue Bai was pointing at, Elder Song noticed the rather talented Xiao\'er and thought that she could make an exception. But after looking at Big Wang and Small Wang, her white brows furrowed.

"The girl can come. While she isn\'t a monster like you, she could still be classified as a genius." Elder Song spoke as she looked at Xiao\'er closely, "But your bodyguards can\'t. They are neither potential disciples nor Elders we are looking for."

Slightly disappointed, Xue Bai was about to try and refute, but Big Wang and Little Wang spoke up.

"Young Master, don\'t worry about us. We will stay in Soaring Sword City for now. It\'s at the base of the Soaring Sword Sect, so we won\'t ever be far." Big Wang reassured.

"Yes, Young Master. If you ever leave the sect, just send us a message we\'ll be over before you can blink your eyes." Little Wang seconded.

Seeing them so accepting of the situation, Xue Bai relented and let them do as they wished.

"Then, Elders, I will be in your care." Xue Bai spoke, motioning that he was ready to be transported.

After that, Elder Song engulfed both Xue Bai and Xiao\'er in her Spiritual Qi before flying off in the direction of the Soaring Sword Sect.

The trip didn\'t take long, and Xue Bai didn\'t try to converse with Elder Song or the other Core Elders. So after about 20 minutes of silence, Elder Song eventually made it to the base of the Soaring Sword Sect mountain.

"Xue Bai, do you know the layout of the Soaring Sword Sect, or would you like for me to explain it to you?" Elder Song asked as she let Xue Bai down on the ground.

Genuinely not knowing how it was laid out, Xue Bai gave Elder Song the floor for her to explain it.

The Soaring Sword Sect was divided into two Mountain Ranges. One had both the Outer Sect and the Inner Sect, while the second had the Core Region, where Core Elders, Disciples, and any other influential figures stayed.

However, the first Mountain Range was definitely much smaller than the second, as the Outer Sect was kept purposely small and bare. It was a common tradition in the Baishen Plane because anyone below the Qi Sea Realm was seen as children by the ones above it. And this way, the Outer Disciples would also be more motivated to cultivate diligently and reach the Qi Sea Realm as soon as possible.

The Outer Sect had only three Main Mountains for the three main cultivation paths in the Soaring Sword Sect: Alchemy, Forgery, and Sword Cultivation.

Beyond that, the Inner Sect was much larger and had better funding, with 9 Mountains, each led by an Inner Sect Elder, who, at the minimum, were at the Middle stages of the Law Engraving Realm, and the maximum, the Peak stage of the Law Manifestation Realm.

The Inner Sect was also regarded as the true start of a Soaring Sword Sect Disciple, as there, one could take on a Master, choose their path, and even start to comprehend their very own Sword Law.

Xue Bai was also going to be there, but since he had reached the standards of a Core Disciple, it was no longer appropriate for him to go there.

Finally, the Core Region was where the Soaring Sword Sect\'s most important and strongest figures resided. From the most influential aristocratic families to the Core Elders, anyone who had any influence lived there.

And while this usually led to nepotism, no aristocratic family ever dared to go over the line. After all, one bad move and they could be turned extinct by a Core Elder nearby who were Early stages of the Domain Lord Realm, at the least.

Any figure residing in the Core Region, should they step into the Inner or Outer Sect, could cover the Heavens with a palm and do whatever they pleased.

Of course, this rarely happened as almost everyone in the Soaring Sword Sect couldn\'t be bothered with worldly matters and stayed wholeheartedly focused on their cultivation.

The Core Region also had its own mountain range separated from the Inner and Outer Sect, further increasing the gap between the two sides.

It was often even thought that the two parts of the Sect were completely different entities who ran on their own without the interference of the other.

And like the Inner Sect, where each Inner Elder had their own mountain as their own, the Core Elders in the Core Region also had their own Mountain under their name. However, it was much different in the Core Region, as in order to live on a Core Elder\'s Mountain, you would be joining their faction, whereas, in the Inner Sect, it was random.

This way, the aristocratic families, in order to continue living in the Core Region, would be forced to choose a Core Elder\'s Mountain to live on, basically turning them into the subordinates of whoever they chose, greatly suppressing any influence they could have on the other parts of the Sect.

The Sect Leader also had his own Mountain; however, only he and his personal disciples were allowed onto the Mountain.

Elder Song finished with her explanation, looked over at Xue Bai, and started to ask follow-up questions.

"So Xue Bai, which Elder\'s Mountain would you like to join?" Elder Song asked with some anticipation in her voice.

The other Core Elders, at this point, were feeling both regret at not being able to talk to Xue Bai all this time and cursing Elder Song in their hearts for stealing the opportunity.

After all, being able to take in such a monster who would most likely turn into the next Sect Leader would allow their faction to prosper for the next few thousand years!

However, sadly, they were destined to be disappointed.

"Elder Song, is it possible for me to join the Sect Leaders Mountain?" Xue Bai asked, instantly extinguishing their hopes.

"Hahaha, good words, Xue Bai!" A voice sounded above everyone bringing their attention toward it.
