"Who would want to impersonate you? You are not a famous person." Ji Riyal asked.

"There is clearly one who thought that it would be hilarious to do so. And I hate that person. I don't know what he did, but I seemed to have offended a lot of people." I said.

"Well then, I wish you the best of luck. You seem to be in a spot of trouble. I hope that you can overcome it. It is nice to have someone to talk to." Ji Riyal said as he got up.

"I have one question for you." I stopped him.

"What is it about?" He glanced at me.

"The sword dao. What is that about? You do not have any cultivation, but my intuition tells me that you are much, much more powerful than I am. How is that possible?" I asked.

"Once you get to the Xiantian realm, you will understand one thing about the Heavens. They do not want you to become stronger. No ruler wants to have someone who can threaten his position. The heavens is the same. So it will try to strike down those that get close to it. The same way, there are also those who follow the path that the heavens sends us. Follow the heaven way, and become a part of the heavenly daos. The sword dao is one such path." Ji Riyal said.

"The heavenly daos? I remember reading about stuff like this. Understanding the Daos will probably make me so much more powerful. Oh well, I think that I need to learn more about this world. But how did you learn the path of the Sword Dao?" I asked.

"The path reveals itself to you. It is up to you to seize upon it. I already sense that you have already touched the Dao of Transformation. I can feel that you tried to comprehend something out of nothing, and that is what brought you here. You should do the same thing if you want to learn another Dao." Ji Riyal said.

"I touched the dao of transformation? It must be what I learnt from the Kun Peng Movement arts." I realized.

"One more thing. Following the path of the sword Dao means that you have become subordinate to the heavens, doesn't it?" I asked.

Rumble!

All of a sudden, I heard the sound of thunder high above. The clear sky started clouding up. This was certainly a bad omen.

"I have spoken too much. I am afraid that what you have said is considered taboo. You should not say this again. There are things that the Heavens doesn't want you to speak of, even if you know about it. Luckily, no one was here to hear what you said. Or the karma would have been too much, and the heavens might have stuck down in anger." Ji Riyal sighed with fear.

"I understand. I apologize for the inconvenience that I have caused. But what you have just told me helped me a lot. I am grateful for your help." I clamped my fists together.

"Do not worry about it. We are fellow disciples of the same sect now. There will come a time when I will need to rely on you as well." he nodded at me, and walked away.

I glanced at the sky. The clouds had completely darkened now, but they had no intention of striking down like they looked like earlier. It was too terrifying to look at. I knew that if the lightning struck me, I would be destroyed in an instant.

"He said that I would know about this in the Xiantian realm. Does that mean that to cross from there Nascent Soul Realm to the Xiantian realm, there is a tribulation of sorts required? It must be something related to going against the heavens, like Ji Riyal just said." I contemplated.

This was probably the reason that there were quite a few people at the Nascent Soul Realm, but no one in the Xiantian realm in the Kaishi city. The city lord might have been in the Xiantian realm, but families did not have an expert in that realm that I knew about.

"Master must be much stronger than the Xiantian realm, if he expects me to get there in just three years. Just how much more powerful is he, though?" I wondered.

I stopped my line of thought here. The clouds above also parted at the same speed, and the sky became blue again.

"What happened? Why did the sky suddenly become dark and then clear out?" one of the fellow disciples shouted with shock.

"It must be one of the elders. Or one of the core disciples. They must be undergoing tribulation. I hear that the top core disciples are so strong that even the three families under the crown have tried to recruit them away from the sect!" another chimed in.

"All this useful information is coming in, and yet I am losing out on all of this because my master wanted to have some fun with me. Now, I am stuck trying to listen to their conversation to understand the situation." I shook my head.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Elder! What just happened here? How is it that there were heavenly punishment clouds above the sect? What happened?" an urgent voice came from a stone that was in the hands of an old man.

"Calm down, second elder. The clouds have already parted. But this is indeed a problem. One of the new disciples must have said something that angered the heavens. We must make sure that no one dares make the same mistake. We cannot afford to have the sect crumble because of one bad egg." the old man said.

"The direction is indeed that where the new disciples are. I think that even your disciple is over there?"

The old man's expression darkened.

"Ji Riyal is not the cause. He is a genius of the sword dao. He knows better than to speak of the taboo topics." the old man retorted.

"Whatever it may be, we must pay attention to the new batch. Especially with that man's son in it."
