Chapter 105: Qinglong Continent
"I really can't understand your Tevat Continent rules to summon someone and become their Dao Partner for the rest of their lives," Yin Yun expressed her bewilderment, shaking her head in disbelief.
"It's such a unique and fascinating concept. I've never heard of anything like it before." She found the concept both unique and captivating, unlike anything she had encountered before.
"But I suppose that's what makes your continent so intriguing." Yin Yun looked at Chen Tian, her admiration evident in her eyes. "You must share a special bond with your Dao Partner."
"True," Chen Tian replied with a smile. "The bond between me and Su Bingxin is unlike any other."
Yin Yun nodded, her curiosity piqued. "So, how does one go about summoning a Dao Partner? Is it a difficult process?" She asked in an excited tone.
Chen Tian and Yin Yun had been engaged in conversation for a few minutes, and to Chen Tian's surprise, he didn't mind it at all.
The girl before him possessed not only a captivating beauty reminiscent of a fairy but also a unique charm that intrigued him.
He discovered himself genuinely enjoying their exchange and felt a growing eagerness to continue talking to her.
Likewise, Yin Yun, who rarely engaged in conversation with others in the sect, found herself astonished at how effortlessly she could converse with a stranger.
Yin Yun had always possessed a childlike curiosity. On the Qinglong Continent, the idea of summoning a Dao Partner was completely unheard of, making her particularly intrigued by this novel concept.
The Qinglong Continent, known for its enchanting landscapes, mystical creatures, and formidable cultivators, was a totally different from the Tevat Continent's.
Although Yin Yun had heard about the bond between cultivators and their partners on the Tevat Continent, she had never personally witnessed such a phenomenon, fueling her fascination even more.
Chen Tian scratched his head, admitting, "Honestly, I don't have a clear understanding of how it works either. I believe it's a matter of fate and destiny."
He continued, sharing what he had heard, "Legend has it that when two cultivators share a profound connection and their energies harmonize, they can forge a bond and summon a Dao Partner."
"Oh, so that means that it's not something that can be forced or controlled," Yin Yun said, as she began to understand.
"Does this not happen on the Qinglong Continent?" Chen Tian was curious about other continents.
Yun Yin shook her head and replied, "No, it's not something that happens only on the Tevat Continent. Every continent is different." Yin Yun's response brought a thoughtful expression to Chen Tian's face.
He realized that his view had been limited to his experiences on the Tevat Continent, but Yin Yun's words opened his eyes to the vastness and diversity of this world.
"I see," Chen Tian replied, his voice tinged with curiosity. "So, each continent holds its own unique secrets?"
Yin Yun nodded, her eyes gleaming with knowledge. "Indeed," she affirmed. "Just as the natural elements vary from land to land, so do the cultivation techniques and laws that govern them.
Chen Tian's curiosity grew, his mind brimming with newfound possibilities. The realization that there were countless continents yet to be explored filled him with excitement and a thirst to know more about this world.
"Tell me more," he urged, his voice filled with anticipation. "What is it like on the Qinglong Continent?" Chen Tian asked with curiosity, since after this test he will be going there to enter the Immortal Sword Sect.
So knowing about the place will be beneficial for him.
"Hmm, the Qinglong Continent is like a fairy land, a place where the spiritual Qi is ten times more potent than here," Yin Yun reflected. "It's a stark contrast to this continent, not to mention its vast size."
She continued, painting a vivid picture of the Qinglong Continent, "The landscapes are awe-inspiring, adorned with majestic mountains, expansive oceans, and thriving forests."
Yin Yun emphasized, "The people there possess exceptional cultivation realms, far surpassing what we typically encounter here.
The Immortal Sword Sect, located in the heart of the Qinglong Continent, is renowned for being one of the top sects in the Qinglong Continent.
"Oh, so there are other top sects on the Qinglong Continent?"
"Yes," Yin Yun nodded, then started explaining to Chen Tian more about the structure of the Qinglong Continent.
She didn't mind explaining it, as she knew that with Chen Tian's talent, he was sure to enter the Immortal Sword Sect, so it didn't hurt to share some information with him.
Chen Tian listened attentively as Yin Yun described the various top sect realms on the Qinglong Continent.
Most of all, there are five top sects on the Qinglong Continent.
The Immortal Sword Sect specializes in the art of swordsmanship and is known for its powerful sword techniques.
The Soaring Phoenix Sect specializes in fire-based cultivation techniques and is known for its ability to control and manipulate flames.
The Thunderbolt Peak Sect focuses on lightning-based cultivation techniques and is known for its mastery over thunder.
The Frost Lotus Sect specializes in ice-based cultivation techniques, is known for its ability to freeze and immobilize opponents, and is known for only accepting women.
Lastly, the Buddha Sect specializes in exorcism and is renowned for its expertise in banishing evil spirits and demons.
Chen Tian was fascinated by how many sects there were.
Yin Yun didn't finish and explained that they were supposed to be the six top sects, but the last one was an evil sect, which is why it wasn't mentioned earlier.
All these Top sects have a place in the Qinglong Continent, and the center of the Qinglong Continent is the ruler of the continent, the royal family, which is on par with the top sects.
The Huang royal family that lives in the central capital is considered to be on the same level as the top sects in terms of power and influence.
After the royal family and the top 5 sects, there are many sects and clans under their rules that hold varying levels of power and influence.
These sects and clans may not be as prominent as the royal family and the top sects, but they still play a significant role in the governance and dynamics of the Qinglong Continent.
"I understand, so the Qinglong Continent is ruled by the five top sects and the royal family," Chen Tian said as he nodded.
"Yes, that's correct," Yun Yin replied. "The royal family holds the highest authority, followed by the top 5 sects.
However, there are also numerous other sects and clans that hold different levels of power and influence under their rule.
While they may not be as prominent as the royal family and the top sects, they still play a crucial role in the governance of the Qinglong Continent."
"Then what about other continents?" Chen Tian suddenly asked, curious about the power forces beyond the Qinglong Continent.
Hmm." Yin Yun paused, considering Chen Tian's question.
"Beyond the Qinglong Continent, the power dynamics may vary. Each continent has its own unique governance structures and power hierarchies.
It is difficult to generalize without specific knowledge of each continent.
However, it is safe to assume that similar power structures exist, with royal families or ruling authorities holding the highest authority, followed by influential sects or clans.
These power forces, whether on the Qinglong Continent or other continents, shape the political landscape and play of their continents.
This is all the information I have on them, as I have never been to another continent other than this one." Yin Yun explained.
After talking for 10 minutes, Chen Tian had gained much information regarding the Qinglong Continent and the palaces there.
While they were engrossed in conversation, Long Wei's voice echoed once more throughout the room.
"Ten minutes have passed; it is time to start the second trial," Long Wei announced.
Hearing Long Wei's voice, everyone stopped talking and turned their attention towards him.
The mention of the second trial brought a sense of excitement to the room. Chen Tian, having gained valuable information about the Qinglong Continent and its palaces, also looked towards Long Wei.
He then tilted his head and looked toward Yun Yin. With a knowing look on his face, he said.
"It's time to proceed and complete this trial,"Chen Tian stated.
Yin Yun nodded her head in agreement. She got up from where she was sitting and stood, walking close to Long Wei like other participants.
