Pink Blossom Tree Sect…
Unlike the Burning Sun Peak, which is situated on deserted mountain land, the Pink Blossom Tree Sect is located in a lively valley surrounded by pink mountains.
The pink color comes from the blooming trees whose petals constantly fall, painting the entire landscape in soft hues. The sect's name was also inspired by the enchanting atmosphere. A small stream of freshwater always flows in front of the sect entrance.
The entire Pink Blossom Tree Sect is a single building containing seven different floors. The disciples and elders use mountain birds to access the higher levels.
A young, beautiful girl was running along the corridors of the ground floor, clearly late for the morning training session. She was holding a long sword in her hand. Sweet moaning sounds filled her ears as she passed by many rooms.
But she completely ignored the pleasure-filled voices—it was a common thing in the Pink Blossom Tree Sect.
"Hey, Chi Kai… I have a new man with me. If you want to test your first banana… I'll sacrifice him for you!" Suddenly, a girl shouted from behind a half-open door. While smiling, she had completely forgotten that her upper body was naked, showing off her snow-white melons without worry.
Chi Kai turned back for a second and cursed angrily. But because she was short of breath, her words mixed in the air halfway.
The lady who was laughing understood the curse and laughed even louder, wearing a teasing look.
Staring at the rising sun from the mountains, Chi Kai picked up speed to reach the training session on time.
While passing through the front entrance gate, she saw many younger girls bringing several male members inside the sect. A little envy appeared on her face as she turned her head away and continued running with clenched fists.
"Once my sister Jia Kai brings that handsome fellow, I'll make him hold my hand and walk around the entire Pink Blossom Tree Sect with a proud face. That day, all these people will cry looking at me." Chi Kai thought as she stared at the large pink tree spread out like a blooming bunny tree.
Under the large pink tree, hundreds of women occupied their positions. Everyone was holding their swords and staring at the elder who stood on a raised stone platform.
Chi Kai hurriedly placed her silk cloth on the ground and took her position. The elder on the raised platform—a middle-aged lady with a plump body—was observing Chi Kai from the corner of her eyes. Chi Kai gave a weird smile, as the elder was none other than her own mother, Su Kai.
But after seeing her mother's serious face, Chi Kai turned her head away and took her position like all the other women.
"Welcome to the class of Classical Sword Art. Along with your dual cultivation, practicing conventional weapon training is crucial for your combat ability. I know that many of you ignore this class because of your future dual cultivation sessions, but I advise you to practice conventional sword art to maintain your strength and balance.
We all know what path we have chosen by standing in this place. But we should also remember that we must live with honor and dignity. If you want to be respected in the outer society, practice this conventional sword art with more dedication.
I, Su Kai, will help each one of you master the Classical Sword Art. With this, you're guaranteed to stand above 80% of the warriors of your age out there.
You must not forget that attending my training session at least once a month is a necessary task. Otherwise, you will be removed from the sect without any negotiation.
Understood?" Su Kai asked in a serious tone while staring at the newly recruited members of the Pink Blossom Tree Sect.
"Yes, Elder. We will obey you," the answer came in a loud chant.
But Chi Kai, who stood last in the line, sighed in disappointment.
"Hey Chi Kai, I'm sure you'll definitely become a great master at Classical Sword Art because you'll never find a chance to enjoy the pleasures of dual cultivation. Like your mother, you'll also stay single and teach this sword art to future generations of the Pink Blossom Tree," Lily, a tall girl, commented in a small whispering tone.
Immediately, a small gang of women around her laughed in a weak, mocking tone.
The smile on Chi Kai's face vanished. She gritted her teeth and stared at the ground with a frustrated look.
"Focus…" suddenly Elder Su Kai shouted and began performing the first style of the Classical Sword Technique.
Everyone followed her with great concentration. They all knew the consequences of disturbing Elder Su's training class.
Far away, atop the seven-story building, an old lady was observing the training class with keen eyes.
"Matriarch, with the arrival of the new disciples, the count has increased to 823 women and 133 men. A total of 33 members passed the final trial of cultivation and left the sect with your token. If my guess is right, three of them may succeed in entering the Eternal Night Sect of Golden Bamboo City," a young lady with a mature face reported in a respectful tone.
"Shin Qi, I'll be proud even if one of the 33 disciples is accepted into the Eternal Night Sect," the matriarch replied, still staring at the horizon.
"Why do you say that, Matriarch?" the lady named Shin Qi asked with a worried look.
"I don't know why, but someone is intentionally blocking our disciples from entering the Eternal Night Sect. For the past three years, not a single disciple has qualified. Seems like my time has become useless," the matriarch said in a disappointed tone.
"Don't say that, Matriarch. You are the genius of your generation and the only woman who succeeded in establishing a sect on her own without any support. Your name, Shijin, will always be respected in the Seven Nations," Shin Qi said in a prideful tone.
