Master Of Great Calamity Chapter 4

Chapter 4 - Qingyang Sect

Soon, it was time for the pride of Taiyue City to set off for the immortals.

In the past ten days, not only Qingyang Sect, but the other four major immortal sects in Yue Country had sent envoys to pick out disciples from those who made the list.

In past years, some candidates were favored by many and the sects would compete for them. This was a favorite pastime for the citizens of Taiyue City. But this year, no one paid attention.

Everyone set their attention on someone in a special situation.

The top candidate, Fang Yuan, was about to leave on the immortal's vessel to become a servant for the Qingyang Sect.

Serving the immortals is a job that no normal person aspired to have.

They follow the immortals deep into the mountains, where they can't enjoy the pleasures of mortals and can't ascend to an immortal who stood above others. Their lives are a short few decades, spent wasting away deep in the forests. It is a pity in everyone's mind.

However, Fang Yuan made a surprising choice.

Many in Taiyue City were lamenting Fang Yuan's choice and misfortune. It might have just destroyed his life.

The enormous immortal's vessel floated in the sky above Taiyue City. It looked like a huge cl.u.s.ter of black clouds. A ladder made of clouds descended from the vessel onto the ground. The chosen candidates climbed onto them as if they were floating.

Below, the citizens of Taiyue city looked up toward these youth heading toward the heavens with faces of awe.

Fang Yuan couldn't endure their looks and had stepped onto the vessel earlier, silently sitting in a corner.

He knew that he had almost become a joke in Taiyue City, yet, he didn't mind.

He had carefully thought about his choice and decided in the end that it was the right one.

He decided that he liked cultivating and would like to step onto this path.

To enter as the candidate on top of the list and receive the immortal's true teachings was, of course, the best; but since the only path to accomplish his goal was to become a servant, he chose it without hesitation.

The basics were the same, no matter if he received true teachings, or worked as a servant. He didn't care about other people's mockery or false sympathy.

"Oh, Brother Fang?"

As the chosen candidates ascended onto the vessel and entered the cabin, they immediately saw Fang Yuan.

They looked awkwardly at him and nodded.

After this greeting, they said no more, and each finding their own place to sit.

Fang Yuan acted as normal. If someone greeted him, then he would return the greeting. If no one did, then he would continue reading silently.

He had many volumes in his arms. Most were given by Mister Zhu before he set out. They included subjects such as medicine, divination, devices and many others. These were all things he had to learn before starting on his journey of cultivation. Since the True Comprehensions of the Way was fake, these were all knowledge that he had to learn from scratch.

The students on the vessel were those entering the Qingyang Sect. They looked forward to cultivation and continuously discussed their futures. But, whenever they saw Fang Yuan, their happy mood would be affected. This person scored better than them but was being sent to Qingyang as a servant. It felt like a thorn in their hearts.

"Haha, Brother Fang, it seems like you shouldn't be sitting here!"

Finally, someone went over to Fang Yuan's side to disperse the tense atmosphere.

The person was called Zhou Qingyue. He was the little master of the Zhou Family. Although he was chosen, he was far worse than Fang Yuan, Lu Xingyao and Qi Xiaofeng. Not only was he ranked last of the second-tier list, he almost didn't make it.

Fang Yuan looked up at him and frowned, "What do you mean?"

Zhou Qingyue looked left and right then smiled, "We are all going to the Qingyang Sect to cultivate, but Brother Fang is going there to work. We walk different paths and shouldn't be sitting together. Otherwise, when we discuss the secrets of cultivation, there may be contents that someone of your position should not know and bring you misfortune. Haha. If that is the case, then wouldn't we be hurting Brother Fang?"

What secrets could disciples who have not stepped into the door have that others may not hear?

All the disciples knew that this Zhou Qingyue just wanted to find an excuse to drive Fang Yuan out of the cabin.

Their eyes turned to Fang Yuan. Many in agreement.

After all, Fang Yuan's presence here made them feel uncomfortable and stifled their excitement.

"Brother Zhou, you've said too much!"

There were others who felt somewhat distressed at this scene. A blue robe girl spoke up with a frown as she could not bear it any further.

"Yes, we are all countrymen and should take care of each other when we reach the immortals. Why embarra.s.s another?"

Right after, many who shared the blue robed girl's belief spoke up as well, persuading Zhou Qingyue to stop.

"Haha, I was just kidding…"

Zhou Qingyue laughed awkwardly and withdrew.

It wasn't because of the others, but as he faced Fang Yuan's calm face, he started feeling worried.

In the past, Fang Yuan had always walked far in front of them. Even now, they were afraid to underestimate his existence. Even his arrogance as a rich little master lost its drive…

"I feel that Brother Zhou's words are correct!"

Just then, a faint voice suddenly sounded and startled everyone in the cabin.

The person who spoke had a large build and wore a luxurious purple robe. He was staring coldly at Fang Yuan with disdain. As others looked at him, he said coldly, "When I stepped onto the vessel, I saw that the left forward side had a little cabin that seemed to be made for servants. Brother Fang probably stepped into the wrong cabin and shouldn't have come here!"

Hearts immediately sank as they saw the speaker being General Qi's son, Qi Xiaofeng, who scored in one of the top positions of the second-tier list. Both his background and his future were greater than others.

Since he had spoken, others were afraid to continue. Zhou Qingyue felt satisfied.

Although Zhou Qingyue didn't expect these words from Qi Xiaofeng, it was not surprising. Everyone knew that this Qi Xiaofeng harbored feelings for the number one beauty, Lu Xinyao, without having his love returned. This was fine, but more importantly, Lu Xinyao was almost betrothed to Fang Yuan. This tied Qi Xiaofeng into a knot that he couldn't endure.

Looking at surrounding faces of sympathy, pity, and mockery, Fang Yuan didn't say anything. He glanced at Zhou Qingyue, then at Qi Xiaofeng. Then he lightly closed the volume in his hands and stood up; afterwards, he actually left.

The atmosphere in the cabin was awkward. After some time, Zhou Qingyue laughed. "Finally, we can talk without worry!"

"Haha, Fang Yuan used to be so overbearing in the past, but now he is so pitiful…"

The atmosphere in the cabin gradually improved. Some laughed along to flatter Qi Xiaofeng.

"No need to mention him in the future. Fellow brothers and sisters, we should take care of each other after we enter the immortals," said Qi Xiaofeng with a faint laugh.

Immediately, numerous people responded. After entering the Qingyang Sect, Qi Xiaofeng would be the leader of the disciples from Taiyue City.

Just then, Fang Yuan who had just left the cabin revealed a helpless, bitter smile.

"Even though I had called you an idiot many times in the past, I had never expressed it. Yet you would shame me so?" sighed Fang Yuan as he heard the laughter in the cabin.

Despite this, he naturally understood that it was not about how he had been overbearing with others before, but more due to his own bad luck!

There may be a thousand wrongs, but the worst is that he was no longer the top of the immortal's list!

He held onto the vessel and was gradually lost in thought.

The vessel was flying in the middle of the sky. Looking through the field surrounding the vessel, Fang Yuan could see an endless sea of clouds. His heart relaxed. With a laugh, the discomfort in his chest disappeared as pride rose in its place. "When I get a chance in the future, I will let you guys see what is meant by domineering!"

Others may believe that he Is going to the immortals to become a servant. But Fang Yuan's heart was set on going there to cultivate. It will be his first step into the world of cultivation!

The vessel was quite fast. If it were a mortal traveling from Taiyue City to the Qingyang Sect by horse, he would need more than half a month. But with this treasure of the immortals, they arrived in an hour. Since Fang Yuan was the only one outside the cabin, he became the first to see the immortal mountain of the Qingyang Sect. Its infinite magnificence struck him senseless.

The home of the immortals is a scene unimaginable by mortals. A series of towering peaks stood tall within the mists. From afar, it seemed as if they were floating on clouds. The sunset dyed the clouds purple. And on top of the purple clouds stood many immortal halls floating in the sky. It really is like heaven!

Fang Yuang gazed upon the four wonders and twelve sceneries of the Qingyang Sect for the first time.

As Fang Yuan stared at the dazzling mountains and palaces, an uncontrollable voice rose from his boiling blood. He yelled, "Qingyang Sect, I came after all!"
