A World Worth Protecting

Chapter 237: Sect of the Four Lineages

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The moon base was like a city made of gold. Even though it didn’t cover a large area, it could hold tens of thousands of people. From the buzzing that emerged from its depths, the entire area seemed to be in operation.

The four major Dao Colleges were gathered on the Public Square within the base. In front of the Public Square stood a large oblong vortex glowing in a myriad of colors. The glow appeared from within, spreading to the surroundings, and a power of teleportation was churning within the vortex.

The vortex was the array formation entrance to the Mystic Luna Realm. Stepping into it would transport one to the assembly point belonging to the four major Dao Colleges within the mystic realm.

On the Public Square of the moon base where the four major Dao Colleges gathered, the disciples from the four major Dao Colleges looked at each other and familiarized themselves with one another as Ethereal Dao College arrived. The four Sect Lord also gathered, chatting with each other softly, accompanied by the Core Formation cultivators from each of their Dao Colleges.

According to the tradition of the four major Dao Colleges, every time the Mystic Luna Realm was opened, the Sect Lords from each of the colleges would arrive personally. That was to prevent any accidents from happening. Therefore, there were at least five Core Formation cultivators who came along as guardians.

The overall vibe of the area was one that was relatively pressuring. That was especially so as the disciples from the four major Dao Colleges weren’t particularly acquainted with one another. Though having met each other in previous instances, they couldn’t be considered strangers either.

That was even more so for the senior disciples. After meeting each other, they exchanged greetings, with some of them gathering in groups while some stood alone by themselves. As they observed the surroundings, they noticed the vortex’s teleportation portal, and their eyes were filled with anticipation and desire.

For Wang Baole, as a Federation seedling, more people knew about him than the number of people he actually knew. At the same time, amongst the disciples from the three other major Dao Colleges, he noticed some familiar faces. Be it Li Yi, the black-faced youth from the Spirit Breath Village, or other people, they all carried an awful expression the moment they saw Wang Baole. Some of them gritted their teeth with hatred, but that couldn’t stop the sense of familiarity arising in Wang Baole’s heart.

“Sometimes, I feel that the four major Dao Colleges are relatives to one another. Even though we do not live together, we still meet often.” Wang Baole sighed with emotion as he looked at Zhuo Yifan, who was standing beside him. As he spoke, he even raised his hand to greet people from White Deer Dao College.

Zhuo Yifan nodded his head. In reality, they weren’t the only ones with such a thought. There were many others from the three other major Dao Colleges that felt the same way. That was exactly the reason why the four major Dao Colleges were known collectively as an alliance, and the formation of an alliance was also the outcome that the Dao Colleges were trying to create and achieve.

As the disciples from the four major Dao Colleges sized each other up and interacted with each other, time passed. The Sect Lords from each of the Dao Colleges also finished greeting and communicating matters. Finally, the Sect Lord from White Deer Dao College began making an announcement, just before the disciples were scheduled to enter the Mystic Luna Realm.

The Sect Lord from White Deer Dao College was an elder that carried a sage-like vibe. His eyes seemed to encompass the galaxy, and he always carried a smile on his face, making him seem like an extremely amiable person. However, only those who understood his character would know that White Deer Dao College’s Sect Lord was extremely ill-tempered and would unleash his wrath once something didn’t go his way.

He merely cleared his throat, but that was sufficient to make all the disciples from the four major Dao Colleges, including cultivators from White Deer Dao College and its branch college, instantly fall silent as they focused their attention on him.

The cultivators from Holy River Dao College and Ethereal Dao College were confused, but followed suit and remained silent. Wang Baole blinked his eyes several times, and as he looked at the Sect Lord from Ethereal Dao College, a croaky, dull voice arrived upon his ears.

“I want to emphasize this once again!

“Even though there are occasional conflicts between the four major Dao Colleges, they are all healthy competition, and its goal is to ensure that we can advance forward without stopping!

“If any of you have misinterpreted the relationship shared between the four major Dao Colleges and think that we are battling each other till death, that would be a great mistake!

“Internally, the four major Dao Colleges advance forward by upholding ourselves strictly, while externally, the four major Dao Colleges are the four lineages of a sect!

“Therefore, unity forms the basis of our survival in the Spirit Inception Era. All of you, remember that regardless of whether you’re here or outside, and regardless of the situation, there should be no internal conflict and no killing of each other!”

“In reality, all of you belong to the same clan. If any of you were to be so vicious as to kill your fellow brothers, the four major Dao Colleges would be ruthless in executing you. You have to believe that even one incident like this that affects the unity of the four major Dao College would be taken with all seriousness!” Listening to White Deer Dao College elder’s words, the disciples from the four major Dao Colleges all fell silent, but they were experiencing a torrent of emotions internally.

As cultivators who were at the fifth level or had perfected the True Breath realm, they were already well aware of the relationship shared by the four major Dao College as described by the elder. Furthermore, in its cultivation of disciples, each Dao College had integrated information like that into the disciple’s curriculum. However, that was the first time that the message was sent out loud and clear by a Sect Lord from the four major Dao Colleges.

That meant there should never be battles and killings happening between them while they were within the Mystic Luna Realm. To them, that meant a release from the stress of having to stay alert and cautious of each other, which was something they instinctively felt they had to do.

As if sensing the different thoughts running through the minds of the disciples from the various Dao Colleges, the Sect Lord from White Deer Dao College smiled as he began speaking again.

“I will give all of you five minutes to get to know each other. After that, the mystic realm is declared open!” The moment the White Deer Dao College Sect Lord finished his words, he turned his attention away and made arrangements to give out survival jade slips.

The jade slip was crystal clear with a jade-green color. Wang Baole held it in his hand to feel it and realized that it encompassed a similar force as that of the nearby vortex. It was as if once crushed, it could influence the arrival of the array formation.

Thinking about the use of the item, Wang Baole hurriedly kept it safely.

While the process of distributing the jade slips was going on, the disciples from the four major Dao Colleges started to interact more with each other, riding on the foundational relationships they shared with each other previously. Very soon, the disciples from the four major Dao Colleges began to mingle with each other, greeting and chatting with each other.

As a Federation seedling and a relatively famous person, numerous disciples from the other Dao Colleges naturally flocked to Wang Baole in an attempt to get acquainted with him. Wang Baole was passionate towards the cultivators who had approached him with kindness and initiative.

As they got to know each other through casual conversations, they also exchanged information regarding the Mystic Luna Realm. Slowly, a cultivator from Holy River Dao College caught the attention and curiosity of Wang Baole.

That person was a young man who appeared calm throughout. He was not a Federation seedling, and Wang Baole had never seen him before in the Spirit Breath Village. However, there were a lot of people crowding around her.

Even a beauty like Li Yi couldn’t compete with the youth.

“Who’s that?” Wang Baole asked a new cultivator friend from Holy River Dao College curiously.

“That person is a senior disciple from our Dao College. Her name is Shi Ling, and even though she isn’t a spirit body, her natural intuition towards the spirits far exceeds others. To a certain extent, her senses are sharper than those spirit bodies. According to the words of our Sect Lord, she would definitely shine in the search for fragments on the Mystic Luna Realm,” the cultivator from Holy River Dao College explained to Wang Baole, his tone carrying a hint of jealousy.

“She’s so impressive?” Wang Baole blinked his eyes several times, as he thought about whether he should get acquainted with her. As the distribution of the survival jade slips concluded, the Sect Lord from White Deer Dao College cleared his throat, causing everyone who was just getting to know each other to fall silent as they looked towards the elder.

“As for how to establish the foundation, all of you should be clear that this requires at least twenty unique fragments. Exactly how many of the fragments are required would be made more clear after you have entered and found the first fragments.

“The method to find the fragments is simple. All you have to do is to activate the most basic cultivation technique that you have learned before—the Qi Fostering Art!

“The Mystic Luna Realm is different from earth. Spirit Qi spreads within a smaller area and isn’t present everywhere. Therefore, only areas with the fragments would give off Spirit Qi.”

“Use the technique of refining Spirit Stones to absorb the surrounding Spirit Qi in order to gauge how concentrated it is within the Mystic Luna Realm. This will allow you to find usable fragments that can be used to reach Foundation Establishment!” As the White Deer Dao College Sect Lord finished his sentence, he paused, looking at the thousands of disciple before him and smiled.

“Finally, I wish all of you the best of luck!”

“The mystic realm is hereby open!” He raised his right hand and waved. Instantly, the teleportation portal of the vortex roared loudly, churning at high speed, and a blinding glow erupted from within.

Wang Baole was shaken, and the others were also filled with anticipation. The excitement in their eyes was undeniable. The instant the vortex teleportation portal opened, they all rushed out, charging towards the vortex.

Amongst the crowd, Wang Baole also leaped, with positivity in his eyes and anticipation towards his cultivation reaching Foundation Establishment stage. Together with the rest of the people, he stepped into the vortex and disappeared!
