Stillwater City. West of the city. A high-class restaurant.
Zhou Tong was quietly seated at a table by the window, holding several books in his hands.
He picked up the wine cup by his side, draining it in one gulp, and then turned the wine cup to the next page of the book in his hands.
As he flipped to the next page, the image of a divine sword that towered into the heavens appeared on the page.
This was a divine sword whose sword aura towered into the heavens. Just by looking at this sword, one would feel as though one would be sliced apart by it. This was the symbol and symbol of a school recorded in this book.
"The Skysplitter Sword Sect. One of the top three super sects of Stillwater Commandery. They currently have three Immortals, dozens of Primal Daoists, and more than ten thousand Zifu disciples. This school is founded on the sword, and is skilled in sword arts. It has been eighty million years since the Skysplitter Ancestor founded the school. "Reading the introduction within the book, Zhou Tong nodded slightly.
The books by his side naturally introduced the various schools and powers of Stillwater Commandery. These books were specially prepared for those who came to take on a master. You could go to any of the larger stores in the west of the city and easily buy these books.
Although when he had entered the city, the soldiers at the gates had given him a black book, the contents of that book were simply too simple. In addition, most of it was just an introduction to the rules and geography of Stillwater City. It was far from what Zhou Tong wanted to know, and so he had no choice but to spend his own money to buy the basic introductions.
"The Skysplitter Sword Sect has been around for eighty million years. Who knows how many sects and clans of the Shrouded Heavens world in this period of time alone!" Zhou Tong sighed in praise.
These two worlds truly weren't the same.
In the Shrouded Heavens world, all of the cultivators fought for longevity, but in this world, it was simply too easy to live forever. In addition, in terms of stability, this world far surpassed the Shrouded Heavens world.
However, it was clear that there was something different about it. The Shrouded Heavens world's greatest advantage was precisely this sort of competition where the strong preyed on the weak. It was precisely because the competition was so fierce that the major powers weren't stable. In this world, however, virtually all of the major powers had been monopolized by the major powers. It was virtually impossible for unaffiliated cultivators to make a name for themselves.
"Mm. So this is the Black-White College that Ji Ning entered in the original novel? The most powerful school of Stillwater Commandery, which once gave birth to a Celestial Immortal?! "Zhou Tong carefully read through some of the introductions within the book.
Although the Skysplitter Sword Sect claimed to have three 'Immortals', their so-called 'Immortals' were nothing more than Void-level Earth Immortals. At most, they were Loose Immortals who had failed their Celestial Tribulation. They were far from comparable to the Celestial Immortals of the Black-White College who had undergone the Celestial Tribulation.
A single Celestial Immortal was enough to determine that the Black-White College was one of the most supreme schools of Stillwater Commandery.
Although the Celestial Immortals of the Black-White College had perished countless years ago, the foundation of the Celestial Immortals still wasn't something that other schools could compare with. Heaven Immortals who had transcended their Heavenly Tribulations and Earthly Immortals and Itinerant Immortals who had not transcended their Heavenly Tribulations were two completely different worlds.
"The Black-White College … its roots are quite deep, and it does indeed have the second scroll of the [Chi Ming's Diagram of the Nine Heavens]. However, how can a place like this compare to the Raindragon Guard of the Grand Xia Dynasty?" Zhou Tong skimmed through the scroll, then made up his mind.
The Raindragon Guard was the most powerful military force of the Grand Xia Dynasty. It was an army completely composed of Immortal cultivators, and one had to be at least at the Wanxiang level in order to join it.
In addition, the Raindragon Guard was directly subordinate to the Grand Xia Dynasty, and had an extremely special status.
The entire Stillwater Commandery had many powers and countless schools, but the two truly ranked at the top were the Marquis of Stillwater and the Raindragon Guard. The Marquis of Stillwater was the master of Stillwater Commandery. As a landowner, he naturally had a very deep foundation. The Raindragon Guard, however, was directly subordinate to the center of the Grand Xia Dynasty. Not only did it have many experts, it also had the entire Grand Xia Dynasty behind it.
Perhaps the Raindragon Guard in Stillwater Commandery didn't have as many resources as the Marquis of Stillwater, but in terms of the foundation behind it, there was no comparison at all. After all, behind the Raindragon Guard was the Grand Xia Dynasty.
"After joining the Raindragon Guard, you won't have as much freedom. Thus, many Immortal cultivators would rather join a school than join the Raindragon Guard. In addition, for many Immortal cultivators, if they join a school, they'll have a master to guide them, making it easier for them to train. But after joining the Raindragon Guard, they won't have a master to guide them. They'll have to rely on themselves. "
"But 'it's easier to train in a public school'. The Raindragon Guard definitely has many resources and divine abilities that you can't buy in the outside world!" Zhou Tong said softly.
Others might need the guidance of a master, but Zhou Tong didn't. To put it bluntly, in terms of understanding the Dao, who in the entire Stillwater Commandery was qualified to be his master?
Moreover, Zhou Tong himself was already a Manifestation Realm cultivator. Those sects basically only accepted Violet Palace Realm cultivators as their disciples, because cultivators in that realm had the greatest potential to be molded.
Otherwise, if you were already at the Wanxiang level and your path towards the Dao was more or less set, what would be the point of teaching you?
In fact, if a Wanxiang level cultivator joined a school, they wouldn't be valued at all, much less be able to learn anything from the school.
In terms of techniques, divine abilities, and the like, which school could compare to the Raindragon Guard, which was a direct subordinate of the Grand Xia Dynasty?
The Raindragon Guard just so happened to be the place where someone like Zhou Tong, who had extremely high self-learning abilities and didn't need the guidance of a master, should go. The other schools were far inferior to them.
"The Raindragon Guard should be the place with the greatest number of books. These books will be able to greatly broaden my horizons, and allow me to gain a more complete and direct understanding of the training system of this world." Zhou Tong closed the book. He had already decided to join the Raindragon Guard.
In the next few days, Zhou Tong continued to wander about Stillwater Commandery City. He took a quick stroll, took a look at the customs and customs of this world, and also went to many shops and shopping malls to 'broaden his horizons' and see many different things.
And then, he left Stillwater Commandery City, heading towards the Crimson Dragon Mountains outside the city.
The Crimson Dragon Mountains was the branch of the Raindragon Guard in Stillwater Commandery. This mountain range rose and fell in a continuous chain, surrounded by clouds and mist. It was shaped like a dragon, and the entire mountain range was covered with a layer of crimson red. From afar, it looked like a crimson fiery dragon was quietly lying within the clouds.
"That's the Crimson Dragon Mountains!" Zhou Tong could see the mountain range from afar, and he could sense the terrifying aura emanating from it. There had to be countless formations and restrictive spells set up within it.
The dragon head of the Crimson Dragon Mountains was the reception area for this branch of the Raindragon Guard.
Zhou Tong rode the wind and descended from the skies.
Right at this moment, two Zifu Disciples dressed in crimson red armor walked over. Their eyes were cold as they rebuked, "Who goes there? Why have you come to our Crimson Dragon Mountains?"
Zhou Tong glanced at the crimson armored cultivators as well. He said to himself, "The rumors don't live up to their reputation. There are actually cultivators below the Wanxiang level here? They must have entered through the back door! "
However, Zhou Tong didn't say anything. He just said calmly, "I've come to join the Raindragon Guard."
"Oh? If that's the case, then follow me! "
