634 The Seventh Star Peak After 1 Year (1)
Following Shu Yao's return to the Seventh Star Peak, she barely managed to spend any time together with the blue deer before Xuan Hao showed up again. However, given that she had started getting along with the blue deer, Shu Yao felt sad that she would have to part with it so soon.
Coo!
The blue deer was similarly sad when it realized Xuan Hao was going to take it away as it cried out, whether this was due to the fact that it could understand that Shu Yao had promised it food or because it had grown attached to her. No one would know for certain unless they managed to understand the blue deer language…
"…"
Seeing this scene, Xuan Hao didn't take away the blue deer and instead decided to leave it with Shu Yao. After all, they were now part of the same sect, it didn't really matter to him where the blue deer stayed… On the other hand, the blue deer staying with Shu Yao could also be considered a good thing, as he would no longer have to think of a way to take care of it!
Like this, the blue deer ended up staying together with Shu Yao, as Xuan Hao soon took his leave again after listening to Shu Yao tell him about the visit from a member of the Sky Empire and the sect alliance's formation three years in the future.
…
Leaving the blue deer in the hands of Shu Yao, Xuan Hao soon made his way to Feng Chen, who was busy talking with a group of elders when he arrived.
"Elder Xuan? What brings you here?" Not hiding himself when he arrived, Feng Chen quickly spotted him approaching, as he quickly signalled for the elders gathered around him to leave before making his way over.
"I came because I wanted to know a bit more about the new sect you, Shu Yao and Zu Fei have been busy building over the past year. After all, the only thing I really know about so far is the new hierarchy of the sect that you came up with and the fact that it's almost complete. Other than that, I never really got a chance to learn about anything else…"
"Hm? Really?"
"Yes…"
Seeing Feng Chen's surprised expression after hearing that he did not learn anything about the sect outside what they had talked about a few days ago, Xuan Hao could not help smiling wryly.
It was indeed rather weird for him to not really know much about the new sect. After all, he had come here more than once over the past year to help out with different things. However, at that time, he did not really think to ask about the layout of the new sect…
"I see… Well, if that is really the case, I'm more than happy to explain it to you!"
Hearing Xuan Hao really didn't know much about the new sect that he had even been helping build over the past year, Feng Chen showed an exited expression.
Explaining what they had managed to accomplish over the past year was something he had been proud of. Especially considering how much of an upgrade it would be from the Flying Sword Sect that they had been staying in so far… Of course, the same could be said for the Spring Flower Sect!
"First of all, the name of the sect changed and from now on, we will not be known as the Flying Sword Sect or the Spring Flower Sect, but instead as the Shattering Star Sect! The name was decided on by the elders from both sects and we have already begun informing the disciples about this, as in the future, they will not be disciples from the Flying Sword Sect or Spring Flower Sect, but disciples of the Shattering Star Sect!"
"If I remember correctly, the disciples would be dived into outer, inner and core disciples, with personal disciples existing somewhere outside of this."
"Indeed, we already finished constructing the places for the outer and inner disciples to stay… The only thing we need to build when it comes to the disciples, is the one for core disciples. At least, given the new qualifications required for one to become a core disciple, there won't be any core disciples for now, so we don't need to worry about this…"
Remembering the qualifications required for the different disciples, Xuan Hao could not help smiling wryly as he understood what Feng Chen meant when it came to them not having to worry about any core disciples in the soon to be future.
After all, the requirement for a core disciple was the Nascent Soul Realm! Even his disciples had not reached the Nascent Soul Realm yet, let alone any of the other disciples in the sect!
Even the requirements to become an inner disciple was rather brutal compared to the past, as it required a disciple to reach the Peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Most of the older core disciples should have reached this level, with some of them even reaching the Core Formation Realm… However, there were still a few core disciples who had yet to reach the Peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
In the future, they would go from being a core disciple, to being an outer disciple… Just imagining their reaction, Xuan Hao could not help feeling a bit of pity towards these disciples who had once been at the peak of the Flying Sword Sect. Hopefully they would be able to increase their strength in the future and at least become inner disciples…
Thinking this, Xuan Hao looked towards Feng Chen. Wanting him to continue.
"Ehm! The disciples, outer disciples will share a simple courtyard with a few other outer disciples, inner disciples will get their own courtyard, while core disciples will get a personalized courtyard similar to what the Outer Sect Elders will get. The core disciples will just be located a bit closer to the centre of the sect."
Understanding what Xuan Hao wanted him to do, Feng Chen quickly continued from where he left off, as he explained the places the disciples and Outer Sect Elders would be staying.
Given the strength required for a normal sect elder being the Nascent Soul Realm now, it was obvious that most of the sect's current elders would end up as Outer Sect Elders in the future.
With this in mind, Feng Chen had already covered the places that most of the sect would be staying in the future.
"As for the sect elders, they will get to make their own place even closer to the centre of the sect, while the core elders will be able to build their own courtyard, palace or whatever they desire to stay in next to the lake and the same can be said for the grand elders, myself, and the Vice Sect Master. The plan is for now is that the core of the sect's strength will be staying next to the lake at the centre of the Seventh Star Peak!"
"I see, looks like I will have to find out what kind of place I would like to stay in before I can officially move in." Showing a slight grin before looking towards the lake he had made at the centre of the Seventh Star Peak, Xuan Hao did indeed notice that the area around the lake was mostly empty. The buildings that stood close to the lake when he had been there just a few days ago had seemingly vanished into thin air.
From the looks of it, it seemed like the decision of moving the core power of the sect to gather around the lake was a recent development that had happened in the short time he had visited the Main Star Peak…
However, Xuan Hao didn't mind this, as it would be a good thing for the sect's core power to be concentrated around the lake, as it would be far easier to cultivate around it when it finally filled up.
Not to mention this, it would also help mystify the lake for the disciples and make them look forward to visiting it in the future, as it would be rare for them to see it after different courtyards, palaces, pavilions, pagodas and so on, obstructed the view of the lake from what could be considered the outer part of the sect.
Already feeling like he could see how the Star Shattering Sect would look in the future, Xuan Hao could not help smiling as he looked forward to seeing it.
During the next few years, the new sect that had been born through the Flying Sword Sect and the Spring Flower Sect merging would surely experience an explosive growth period as many of the elders who had been stuck at the Peak of the Core Formation Realm for a long time got a chance to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm in the new environment of the Seventh Star Peak!
