Reincarnated With A System In A Cultivation World

"I am going now. This is your problem. This has been good, working together. Now then, I gave you Hu Jin. I have to go now. Best of luck." I said, before trying to leave. I had to get to the main gathering area. Time was running out, and I wasted the entire night up on the trees, doing nothing.

"Wait there one second!" Yu Yutian called out.

"I helped you. I saved your life. Be grateful. Don't dare think that you can actually command me though." I looked back and said coldly. Without giving him another glance, I ran to the thicket. I continued forward for a while, trying to get a lot of distance between them and me.

I jumped onto a tree, and hid myself between the branches.

"Well now, let us see what this guy has in his spatial ring. He is in the fourth layer of the foundation realm, and he was also selected for these trials, so he must have some good stuff with him, right?" I wondered as I took out his spatial ring.

I injected Qi into it, and I could see all of the contents of the ring. There were pills on one side, a few cards, as well as a few books. The spirit compass that I needed was also lying alone on another side. I took it out, and looked at it.

There was nothing special about it. It just had a needle in a wooden construction. But the needle did not point to the north. Instead, it kept pointing towards the south west, for some reason. Thankfully, I was clearly going in the right direction.

"Devices like these amaze me. I really have to find a way to get my own contraptions to help me out in desperate times." I made a mental note as I started moving. I followed the spirit compass to the point now. It was much better than going a few miles and then trying to figure out where the ash trees were located.

After an hour, right when the sun hit its peak, I could see the trees giving way again. But this time, it was not for a small gathering. It was for good. My mouth went agape as I stopped right at the threshold between the forest, and whatever was there in front of me.

The Sky Heaven's sect truly lived up to its name. I did not know how the hell there were so many mountain peaks in the middle of a forest, and why none of them were visible from the entrance of the forest, but they were majestic. I could see people filling the area that was right in front of the gates of the sect. Inside, it looked like the heavens themselves.

Mysterious bridges that seemed to float on the air, and then there were the people flying through the air.

Even though it was the middle of the day, all of a sudden, I could feel a little refreshed. I saw the people in the air, flying on their swords, just like in the stories. It felt surreal.

"So this is the Sky Heaven's sect. Father did a good thing, sending me here. This place looks awesome!" I exclaimed as I walked forward.

Even though it was so difficult to get through the forest, it looked like there were still so many people who got to the selection area. There were alteast a thousand people gathered here. I walked forward. I knew no one here, so all of this felt foreign to me. Du Xiangling clearly wanted to be the lone wolf, and that meant that I had to make new friends. I needed a few connections so that I wouldn't be going in blind.

I looked around, trying to find a friendly face. Soon enough, I found a guy smiling all the time, talking to multiple people. I walked towards him, and he came face to face with me.

"Do I know you, friend?" He asked with a polite face.

"No, actually. I am completely new here. I have no idea what to do. The only thing that my father told me was that there were a few trials. I know about the trials, but I could use the help of someone like you." I smiled back.

"You are new here? But what do you mean, your father told you that there were a few trials? Did you come here from a family? That is interesting. All of us are from the Sky Blue Sect, a subsidiary of the Sky Heaven's sect, and we are all here to try our luck into getting in this sect. You must be one of those people who the Sky Heaven's sect allows to come through the forest every time they open the disciple selections. But I am afraid that I cannot help you here. Maybe if you get in, then I will help you as a senior brother, but until then, the secrets of my sect cannot be divulged to an outsider." the man shook his head.

"So all these people are from subsidiary sects of the Sky Heaven's sect? Doesn't that mean that everyone would be closed off together and that there are going to be so many groups fighting against each other. Why do I have to go through this alone? This is so irritating." I sighed as I looked at a corner to sit down at.

"It looks like this friend was lucky to come to the selection area. I hope that my advice helped you." a friendly voice came from the side.

I looked to see the person who I met at the entrance of the Black Swamp Forest.

"Your advice saved my life. I am grateful to you. Is there something that you want? I am sure that I can pay off my debt." I bowed slightly to him to show my respect. Respect that he deserved. Without the spirit compass, his words were the only thing that kept me on the right path.

"You are indebted to me, are you? Why is it that you have a spirit compass though? I thought that you didn't have one." he asked, surprised.
