The Path to Sainthood from Fairy Tail

There is nothing wrong with what Li Xuan said.

Their original powers have been sealed, and the power they can exert is only the innate realm given to them by the Immortal Tomb and the cultivation they have gained through their own practice.

But in this world, the most a warrior can do is to commit violence among ordinary people.

Cultivators, higher-level warriors, dynasty armies, ferocious beasts, demonic beasts, etc., each one is a very dangerous existence, and can even easily kill innate warriors like them.

All actions must be based on strength, otherwise they are all in vain. Without strength, you can't take a single step in this world.

Without strength, you can only be content to be an ordinary person without dignity, assets, and the ability to decide your own destiny.

In this world of extraordinary power, ordinary people don't even have the qualifications to die together.

Jie Li also knew that what Li Xuan said made sense, but their current situation did not give them more choices.

"So, what level do we have to reach before we can freely explore the outside world?"

Li Xuan thought for a moment and said, "We need to at least reach the sixth or seventh level of Qi training. At this level, we won't have any shortcomings in combat endurance. Then, if we learn some auxiliary combat techniques and use some props like talismans, we will be able to stand on our own."

Jie Li wrote down everything Li Xuan said, then turned around and waved, saying, "Time is precious. After you finish eating, continue your training and strive to reach a level where you can accept missions as soon as possible. We really don't have much time left..."

Jie Xu walked farther and farther away until he completely disappeared from Li Xuan's sight.

Li Xuan looked at the ordinary food on the table and picked up a few at random and put them in his mouth.

Although he no longer feels as hungry as before, he still cannot practice fasting and needs to supplement food to meet the energy needs of life activities.

The two of them continued to practice in their respective rooms, and the outer disciples' benefit of one hundred spirit stones began to be consumed continuously.

A month passed and the two walked out of the room at the same time.

After so many days, the two of them did not have the free and easy and elegant look that monks were supposed to have. Instead, they looked very embarrassed, like beggars wandering around the world.

They were covered in dust and their hair had started to curl from not being taken care of for a long time. They looked like two savages.

Li Xuan saw Jie's miserable look and immediately smiled: "How are you?"

Xie Li replied casually, "I should have reached the fifth level of Qi training by now, but I've never been able to grasp the Qingyun Sword Technique. Perhaps I just don't have a strong aptitude for swordsmanship."

"Then we're about the same. At our current level, the two of us should be able to take on some relatively simple tasks together."

"So what are you waiting for? We'll be there soon!"

Li Xuan waved his hand and smiled awkwardly: "Wait a minute, do you think it's really appropriate for us to go out in this state?"

"Why is image so important? Our time is precious, how can we have time to care about these things?"

"No, no, no. You have to understand that when we go out on a mission, we represent the reputation of Qingyun Sect. As disciples of the sect, we have to be responsible for the sect. I won't say more, go wash up."

In the end, Jie Yu couldn't persuade Li Xuan, and finally had no choice but to go back to wash up and change into fresher clothes.

Li Xuan didn't know why, but his hair grew at an unusual speed. After straightening his messy hair, the length had reached his waist.

Originally, he wanted to cut off the extra hair, but Li Xuan changed his mind and decided to take another approach.

He tied his long hair up into a high ponytail. If he changed his clothes into white, he would really be no different from the immortals in the storybooks.

After the refreshed Jie Lu came out, he saw a very flamboyant young man with long hair standing on the wall. His long hair fluttered in the wind, like a banished immortal.

Xie Xu narrowed his eyes slightly and asked curiously, "What are you doing? A special ritual?"

Li Xuan shook his head slightly and then jumped down from the wall.

He said disappointedly, "We are monks now, so every action must be carried out in accordance with rules."

Jie Lu disagreed with Li Xuan's statement, "Is that so? But I heard that all a cultivator seeks is to be free and unrestrained in the world. If one is bound by rules and regulations, can it still be considered a cultivator?"

Li Xuan waved his finger and explained, "Your understanding is wrong!"

"Everyone wants different things. Isn't freedom about following your own heart? If you blindly pursue the freedom of others, you're putting the cart before the horse!"

"Just like some people don't like to communicate with others, so when they have the ability, they retreat to the mountains, practice alone, and don't communicate with others. To outsiders, such people are very free and easy."

"There are also people who like to be lively and bustling, so they transform themselves into ordinary people and experience the ups and downs of life from an ordinary person's perspective."

"In short, those who are bound by rules are those who have no independent thinking and go with the flow."

Li Xuan gave a long speech, but Jie Li didn't seem to listen.

He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, as long as you are happy. When are we going to take the mission?"

"Now."

Just as the two were about to take on the mission, a core meeting of Qingyun Sect began.

The sect leader said with a worried look on his face, "It's only been a month, and those two have already reached the fifth level of Qi training. Their talent is certainly not a problem, but they're just too young and have no experience at all!"

The second elder echoed, "Yes. They actually want to go out on a mission at this time. Isn't this putting themselves in danger?"

The Third Elder said solemnly, "I think this is also a good opportunity to make them realize that there are always people better than you and there are always higher standards than you!"

The Qingyun Sect used to be pretty good. At least there were many talented people with natural spiritual roots, and a few of them could be found during every disciple-recruiting ceremony.

Unfortunately, before they could realize their talents, their souls returned to the underworld and their bodies disappeared.

After so many empirical analyses, they found that the main reason for the death of these geniuses was that they were overprotected.

Although they are geniuses, when they meet a genius among geniuses, they will find that they, as geniuses, are only worthy of looking up to others.

The strong sense of gap makes them lose their minds and even do things that ordinary people cannot understand.

This result was caused, on the one hand, by the small size of Qingyun Sect itself, which could not be compared with those real big sects; on the other hand, by the fact that those geniuses were too arrogant and could not accept the fact that others were stronger than them.

Once one's heart is broken, there is no chance of recovery.

The Sect Master pondered the Third Elder's words carefully, then raised his head and said to the elders present, "They need experience, but they are weak right now. I think they still need a highly respected and powerful elder to protect them."

The Second Elder agreed, "Indeed, the outer disciples' mission isn't too difficult. I suggest that the Third Elder be assigned this arduous mission of protecting the Dao!"

Sect Leader: "Agreed!"

The other elders: "Agreed!"

The third elder stood up and shouted, "I disagree!"

"Why didn't you let me go on field work without my consent?"

The third elder pointed to several other inner sect elders. They were not as advanced as him in terms of realm or qualifications. Logically speaking, he could just pass this kind of thing on to the people below him.

The Sect Master soothed him, "Third Brother, those who are capable should take on more work. We're giving you this mission because we value you! Look at the other elders. The First Elder is incredibly busy, needing to manage the sect's overall situation. The Second Elder...is also incredibly busy. As for the other elders, they all have heavy cultivation tasks to complete. So, it seems only you can accomplish this mission!"

After hearing the sect leader's reasons, the third elder was dumbfounded. What's the difference between this reason and fooling a fool?

Although he was not very smart, he could see that these people just wanted to assign this important but troublesome task to him.

Under pressure, the Third Elder finally compromised again: "Alright, I'll take your mission this time! But you have to promise that when I call for help, you must arrive immediately, otherwise I won't care about the lives of those two guys!"

The sect leader rarely smiled. He walked over to the third elder, patted his shoulder, and said, "Don't worry about that. One arrow pierces the clouds, and thousands of troops will come to meet us!"

Just as the Third Elder was about to leave the meeting room dejectedly to find the two ancestors, the Sect Master reminded him:

"Oh, right. This mission is long-term. Until those two can handle it on their own, you'll have to do all the tasks!"

The third elder, who had just walked to the door, was so frightened by the sect leader's words that he stumbled and fell.

Now, he could only pray that those two people were not mission-crazy, and that they would go out on missions as little as possible and stay in the sect more to practice.
