"It’s been a while, Senior Bai." Yuan greeted him with a warm smile.
"Indeed, it has been a while. Last I heard from you, you were still in the Sixth Heaven. Where are you right now?" Senior Bai asked.
"I’m currently in the Seventh Heaven, and I’ve been staying at Kelan’s sect for the last several months," he said.
"What?" Senior Bai frowned after hearing this. "You’ve been at Kelan’s place for several months already? How come I didn’t hear anything about this from him?"
"Oh, he went into seclusion shortly after I showed up."
Senior Bai rubbed his eyes and sighed, "That meathead... he should’ve at least notified me about your return before he went into seclusion."
Yuan chuckled before asking, "How have you been?"
"Same as usual, but I’ve been spending more time at my sect," he said.
"Your sect... that would be the Gates of Heaven, correct?" Yuan recalled participating in a trial that required him to fight a disciple from this sect. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
"Yes, that’s correct. Whenever you have the time, you should visit. There’s one within the Seventh Heaven, as well."
"As well? There’s more than one Gates of Heaven?" Chu Liuxiang asked.
Senior Bai nodded and explained, "I have three sects, one in the Fifth Heaven, the Seventh Heaven, and the Ninth Heaven. Of course, they all share the same name and are essentially the same sect."
"What is the purpose of having three sects?" Bai Lianhua asked out of curiosity.
"It’s quite pointless to have multiple sects if you place them all in the same realm. However, if you spread them apart, you’ll be able to gain many more disciples. Also, it gives those in the lower heavens another method of ascending."
"I see..." Bai Lianhua muttered, as she’d been contemplating branching out her faction recently.
Senior Bai turned to look at Yuan and continued, "The next Sword Emperor Qualifications will be happening soon, and it’ll take place within the Gates of Heaven. You use the sword, right? You might learn a thing or two if you go."
"Sword Emperor Qualifications? What is that?" Li Jinxi asked, her curiosity piqued.
Senior Bai then explained, "In the world of swordmasters, the highest attainable title is the Sword Emperor, much like how blacksmiths have the title God of Creation, and alchemists have the God of Alchemy. The Sword Emperor is, in essence, the God of Swords. However, there can be multiple Sword Emperors."
