Sword Realm

Chapter 1

The Sword Sect. Void Mountain. Labor Peak.

As a famous large sect in the southern territory, the Sword Sect had its back to the Grand Myriad Mountains and faced south towards Grand Qin Empire, and it occupied Void Mountain that extended continuously for over 500km. There were seven main peaks and 36 minor peaks on Void Mountain, and Labor Peak was one of these minor peaks. As its name implied, Labor Peak was where the Labor Disciples of the sect resided.

Even though Labor Peak was where the Labor Disciples resided, its scale could already compare to a small city in the Grand Qin Empire that was capable of accommodating a few tens of thousands of people.

The first glimmer of dawn had just arrived. As always, Yang Ye awoke at this time, and then he briefly washed his face before leaving his room with the broom behind his door.

As he gazed at the glimmer of dawn on the horizon, Yang Ye took a deep breath of the pure and fresh morning air. After a short moment, Yang Ye's seemingly immature little face was covered in a firm expression, and he said in a low voice, "Work hard! Persist! Don't give up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked quickly towards Cool Breeze Gorge.

"Look! Isn't that the former Outer Court Disciple?"

"So, it's him. Even you know that's in the past. Now, he's only a Labor Disciple, and he sweeps the floor just like we do."

"What a waste of such a handsome little fellow! He looks to be only around 16 or 17 years old now. At this age, his future was originally limitless. Unfortunately, he has come here to do odd jobs now. What a pity!"

"I heard that an Outer Court Elder recruited him as an Outer Court Disciple at Southpeace City, yet who would have known that he would actually be unable to absorb Profound Energy for an entire year, and in a moment of rage, that Outer Court Elder reduced him to a Labor Disciple. Supposedly, he's the first Outer Court Disciple in the history of the Sword Sect that was reduced to a Labor Disciple, and he even obtained the title of number one piece of trash in the Sword Sect!"

"The Sword Sect's number one piece of trash! Tsk tsk, this reputation of his is truly resounding!"

Yang Ye's footsteps stopped upon hearing the voice of discussion in the surroundings, and his right hand held tightly onto the broom within it. After a short moment, he took a deep breath and paid no further attention to those people as he walked swiftly towards Cool Breeze Gorge.

Cool Breeze Gorge was situated at the back of Labor Peak, and it was surrounded by three small hills while a sunken gorge lay at the center. Luxuriant grass that looked like a green carpet grew within the gorge, and countless towering trees covered in leaves blotted out the sky. This was where the Labor Disciples usually gathered herbs and wood, and it was also the place Yang Ye usually trained.

On an enormous rock, Yang Ye tossed the broom casually to the side before sitting cross-legged on the enormous rock, and then he withdrew a letter and a little clay figure from his chest. He'd received this letter from his family last night, and because he'd been working for almost 16 hours yesterday, he didn't have the time to read it at all.

As he gazed at the little clay figure in his hand, Yang Ye's slightly immature face revealed a wisp of a gentle smile. The clay figure was extremely small, and it couldn't be said to be exquisite, yet its features were clear. It was something his younger sister had made according to his appearance. Even though it didn't quite look like him and was rough, it was the most precious treasure to him.

After lightly rubbing it for a while, Yang Ye placed the clay figure back beneath the clothes at his chest. He looked at the letter in his hand and lightly blew off the dust on it, and then he carefully withdrew the letter within the envelope before reading it.
