Leaving the Sect

Xue Bai didn't plan on bringing Xiao'er with him this time. So after telling her his plans and pushing away Xiao'er, who was crying her eyes out, he was off.

Xiao'er was still only at the 4th stage of the Organ Tempering Realm, and while that was alright for a Southern Continent Genius, Xue Bai knew there was a lot of room for improvement.

So before he left, he told her that if she managed to break through two more stages before he returned, he would give her a reward when he came back. And she, of course, accepted the deal, but still saddened about the fact that Xue Bai was leaving her, she cried for a few minutes before letting him go.

Xue Bai also bid Ye Rou farewell, but since the two weren't too close, the goodbye didn't last long. He also wanted to go to Jiang Xiaorou's peak and do the same, but after remembering their first encounter, he gave up on the idea.

Hence, with no more things holding him back, Xue Bai took the teleportation array that was on the mountain and left.

The teleportation array took Xue Bai to the City Hall in the Soaring Sword City, saving Xue Bai hours of travel time. And after showing his identity to the guards watching it, Xue Bai went over to where the Wang Brothers were residing.

They hadn't changed hotels and continued to stay inside the same one that Xue Bai had booked in temporarily. So Xue Bai didn't need to take any time and contact the twins and ask for their new location.

Entering the lobby once more, Xue Bai scanned it quickly before finding what he was looking for, the Front Desk.

Currently, as the hype from the Soaring Sword Sect entrance exam had died down, there was only one person staffing it, and it was a young average looking girl around the age of Xiao'er.

Her cultivation wasn't much to speak of, though, as even Xue Bai could see through it, and it was only in the Muscle Nourishing Realm.

During the 5 physical Realms, the only realm that gave you a lifespan increase was the Blood Exchange Realm. Any cultivator who completed the Blood Exchange Realm would be granted with a 100-year lifespan, which was almost double the mere 60-year average lifespan for mortals.

So for any cultivator with low talents or extremely poor background, after reaching the Muscle Norushing Realm, they would stop cultivating and calmly accept their fate.

"Miss, can you send a message to the people living in these two rooms?" Xue Bai asked politely to the receptionist, ignoring her flushed face, "Tell them that their Young Master is here and waiting for them in the lobby."

"Yes, give me one second, Young Master!" And before she could embarrass himself anymore, the young girl ran off to complete Xue Bai's task.

Xue Bai knew why she looked so embarrassed, but he didn't care much since he was used to it. So after sitting down at a chair nearby, Xue Bai waited for the twins to come down.

Thankfully the hotel was well worth its reputation as the best in Soaring Sword City, as, within 5 minutes, the Wang Twins arrived in the lobby.

They were skeptical when the receptionist first came to their rooms and told them that Xue Bai was downstairs waiting for them. After all, Xue Bai had just joined the Soaring Sword Sect a little more than a week ago. How could he leave so soon?

But after the girl explained who was downstairs, they were convinced and ran downstairs as fast as they could.

They hadn't broken through during their time within the city and were already missing the opportunities they received by following Xue Bai. So after being called by him, they didn't dare to delay even by a second and ran down as quickly as they could.

"Young Master, where are we going this time?" Big Wang asked as they arrived in front of Xue Bai.

However, he didn't answer them but instead stood up first and made his way out of the hotel lobby.

The twins weren't offended by Xue Bai ignoring them but instead merely followed behind him, thinking that he didn't want to explain his plans in the open.

And after walking out, Xue Bai pulled out a carriage that Yue Zifeng had given to him from his Spatial Ring and hopped in.

This carriage was better than his previous carriage in every manner. From its durability to its speed, nothing that Xue Bai's previous carriage could do was better than the new one.

But most important of all, the carriage had the personal symbol of Yue Zifeng branded onto it. With two swords intercrossing, one blue and one red.

The twins seeing the new extravagant carriage had many questions, but since Xue Bai seemed to be in a rush, they held them back and took their usual seats.

Little Wang drove while Big Wang sat on top with his Spiritual Sense spread out.

"Take us out of the city first, and then I'll explain where we are going." Xue Bai spoke from the inside.

"Young Master, which gate do you want us to exit from?" Little Wang asked as he sat in the driver's seat.please visit panda-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m

"The South Gate." Xue Bai answered calmly.

Nodding, Little Wang didn't ask any more questions and followed his Young Master's instructions.

Xue Bai's carriage eventually caused many people to do double takes, but since no one dared to impede its way, the Xue Bai quickly drove through Soaring Sword City without any interruptions.

"Young Master, where to now?" Little Wang asked as the carriage finally made it out of the city.

Xue Bai then gave him a set of coordinates before telling Little Wang to go as fast as the carriage could allow him.

Before joining the Hundred Flower Sect, the female 'Child of the Plane' was extremely nomadic and spent her days going from city to city, looking for any opportunity she could get her hands on.

And the set of coordinates that Xue Bai gave him was of a city on the border of the Southern Continent. There, the female 'Child of the Plane' would get into trouble with the City Lord's son and then, after a long chase, would be able to kill him.

Xue Bai wanted to not only stop the confrontation but also try and recruit the Child of the Plane to the Soaring Sword Sect. At first, Xue Bai wanted to recruit her as a subordinate, but since that idea would most likely never be able to come to fruition, he took a step back and planned to get her into his sect.

Either way, she would be able to stay close to him in the near future. And with closeness comes familiarity, so as long as Xue Bai played his cards right, he could be able to build a good relationship with the girl.

Xue Bai had also had the thought of trying to seduce the girl and possibly go that route, but the morality of it was definitely gray, so he shut down that idea before it grew up.

He wasn't opposed to the idea of a harem, especially being in a world where strength mattered above all, but still bringing a girl into his harem, not for feelings, but greed, didn't sit right with Xue Bai.

Little Wang, on the other hand, seeing the coordinates was extremely confused.

The region where the coordinates were was in the most barren part of the Southern Continent, which was usually called the Barren Lands. Because it was so far away from the Central Continent and where Spiritual Qi spread out from, it might as well not have had any.

Because of that, even people in the Qi Sea Realm were rarer than a Phoenix feather or a Qilin horn over there.

As for the higher realms? They might as well have been myths because not only was there nowhere near enough Spiritual Qi to supplement breakthroughs past the Qi Sea Realm, but most people didn't even know what came after the Qi Sea Realm there.

There were no legacies passed down from stronger cultivators as anyone who advanced that far had long cut their ties with the Barren Lands, making the higher Realms such mysterious existences.

"Young Master, are you sure you want to go that far down south? There will be nothing for us down there." Little Wang had to make sure that Xue Bai didn't give him the wrong set of coordinates.

"When have I ever been mistaken about these things?" Xue Bai scoffed, "Just go to where I marked."

And after saying so, he stopped responding and turned on the Spiritual Qi Gathering Array Formation that was inside the carriage. Time stopped for no man. Just because he was on other business didn't mean that Xue Bai was going to slack on his cultivation.

The Spiritual Qi Gathering Array Formation in the carriage was indeed much weaker than the one on his peak, but since it was still helpful, Xue Bai turned it on, planning to cultivate during most of the trip down south.

He had made a bold promise to Yue Zifeng as well, so he had even less of a reason to slack.

Little Wang, outside, seeing Xue Bai, stopped responding, just sighed, and set off.

Leaving earlier would allow the group to arrive earlier, and Little Wang wouldn't be able to cultivate while he was driving the carriage, so instead of trying to complain to the obviously close-minded Xue Bai, he simply started driving with dropped shoulders.

The coordinates that Xue Bai gave them weren't very close either and were extremely far. And even with their new upgraded carriage, it would still take at the very least three days to get there. So Little Wang didn't waste time and started their long journey in search of the second and final 'Child of the Plane' on the Southern Continent.
