Heavenly Sword Sect, the main hall of the Sword Palace. Sebastian stood in the hall, feeling somewhat nervous. Soon, Leng Feiyan appeared in the hall out of thin air and sat at the head of the hall. When she first saw Sebastian, she appeared slightly surprised. "Are you about to break through?" Her voice was as clear as a mountain stream, cold yet with a hint of coolness. Even though Sebastian had heard her voice before, he still felt a bit uneasy, remembering the scene from yesterday. "Reporting to Master, yes." As soon as Sebastian logged in, his cultivation had already reached 500/500. However, he was stuck at the bottleneck of the early Qi Refining stage because each minor stage required specific elixirs for a breakthrough. "Not bad. Your talent is indeed the best I've ever seen." Leng Feiyan's expression finally softened a bit. Perhaps it was because she didn't give Sebastian a warm welcome when he arrived yesterday. "Now, you need a Concentrating Qi Pill to help you bre

The inner hall disciples held a much higher status and position within the sect than the outer hall and branch hall disciples. No matter how high the cultivation of an outer hall disciple, it wouldn't hold any weight in front of an inner hall disciple. Even branch hall disciples had to show utmost respect when facing inner hall disciples. Fortunately, Sebastian was unaware of whether he was an inner hall or even the sect leader's personal disciple; otherwise, they might have treated him like a master. Despite the kind advice from the NPC disciple, Sebastian remained resolute. "bro, I appreciate your concern. Just register the task." "Alright, then. I can only wish you success with the mission and to be careful." "Thank you." After retrieving the task token, Sebastian thanked them briefly and left. Exiting the sect's main gate, Sebastian headed straight for the teleportation array. Each use of the sect's teleportation array required the payment of spirit stones, and the amount

Walking out of Phoenix Melody City, Jacket headed towards the mountains outside the city. The night was deep, and only the moonlight above the sky cast a faint glow. The forest was tranquil, and as Jacket walked, he felt that something was amiss. He immediately quickened his pace. However, no matter how fast he walked, footsteps continued to follow from behind, getting closer. Jacket had to stop, standing in the woods, summoning his Thunder Blade and turning back alertly, saying, "Who's there?" From behind the trees, Sebastian emerged. "The one who's after your life." Seeing Sebastian in the attire of Heavenly Sword Sect, Jacket's heart pounded with anxiety. He thought that Heavenly Sword Sect had sent a large group of people to chase and kill him. But looking around, Jacket realized that there was only Sebastian. And he sensed that the opponent was only a Qi Refining beginner. "So, you're just a little rookie. You think being a disciple of Heavenly Sword Sect gives you the

Crossing an entire major realm and still not having learned any sword techniques, Sebastian found himself in a difficult situation. He only possessed a body technique and a spirit shield through his amulet, but the shield was currently on cooldown. This left Sebastian, who was otherwise quite skilled, feeling extremely frustrated. After all, it's challenging to perform well without the right tools. His health had already dropped by a third. If things continued this way, he was going to meet his end in this fight. Sebastian had no intention of dying, even though the game and reality hadn't merged yet, meaning players could respawn. However, Sebastian had a unique talent that stated if he died, his innate attributes would all decrease by 10%. This was something he couldn't accept. He had finally received an excellent starting hand, and he didn't want to jeopardize it. Did they think he was ready to die? Absolutely not! Sebastian reached into his inventory and retrieved a pill. ​1​:

Plundering the spoils, Sebastian returned to Phoenix Melody City, preparing to report back to the sect. Suddenly, he remembered something. It was his first time going out on a sect mission. Shouldn't he buy some gifts to bring back to the sect leader? Although he knew that Leng Feiyan must have everything he needed, as the saying goes, a small gift carries deep sentiments, and it's a matter of attitude. Especially in this traditional world, respecting teachers and valuing relationships was a must. With this in mind, Sebastian rushed into the city, bought a few ordinary gifts, and then returned to the Heavenly Sword Sectthrough the teleportation gate. Now, there were more players in the Heavenly Sword Sect, and unfamiliar faces were everywhere in the outer hall. Sebastian headed straight to the location where the tasks were issued and submitted the task plaque. The disciple in charge of task assignments was still very enthusiastic towards Sebastian. "S
