Reincarnated With A System In A Cultivation World

"It looks like you are speaking to someone. Your little friend?" I heard a voice behind me. Startled, I turned around to face Li Tian.

"Yes. I was talking to Liu Man." I stuttered.

"You should come out of this place now. You have been cooped up here long enough. I will instruct you later. I am a little busy. I have to go somewhere for a while, so during this time, I suggest that you stay out of trouble." Li Tian said, smiling.

He was smiling at something, but I couldn't tell what it was. Something smelled fishy about it. I shook my head and nodded.

"This is your identity token, and these are your sect robes. You will be required to wear these when you are inside the sect, and when you leave outside on sect business. We need to show everyone that we are the Sky Heaven's sect." Li Tian said.

I glanced at the token. Made out of wood and with my name engraved on it, it was the cheapest thing that could possibly exist that could tell my identity. But I could feel some weight to it which I didn't understand.

I turned the plaque to the back and my eyebrows raised up. There were weird inscriptions on it, and they seemed to be doing much more than just be a design.

I threw the token into my spatial ring and put on the robes immediately. I then looked at my master.

"How will I leave this place, master?" I asked.

"You know how to fly up now, don't you? Fly up. I can handle a few damage costs." he smiled.

"Really?" my eyes brightened. The last nine days that I spent here made me hate this place. My spear appeared in my hands, and I threw it at the ceiling with all the force that I could muster.

It was just a building after all. Walls and stones couldn't hold a candle to a cultivator's strength. Or so I thought. The spear that I threw at the ceiling hit the ceiling and bounced back towards me.

I caught it, surprised by this interesting outcome.

"Do you think that you could break free out of this room with that little help? Come on, now. Use some force." Li Tian smiled.

I gripped my spear tighter, and this time, I used a proper attack.

Blue Dragon Spear Art! First Form!

I jumped toward the ceiling and hit it hard with the spear. At a close distance to the ceiling, I was able to see what was going on. At the moment that my spear hit the ceiling, there was a white layer of light that seemed to absorb the damage.

It seemed to be generated by all the runes and arrays that were inscribed on the wall, that only appeared when it was attacked.

"I am the sect master of one of the most powerful forces in the whole kingdom. Do you really think that a room that I personally use will be broken out of with just that? Even my sneeze can kill you if I am not careful. Come on now. Use all of your power." Li Tian chuckled.

"All of my power? Oh well. I will never actually be in a fight with him. I don't need to hide any of my trump cards from him." I said to myself as I readied myself to use a proper attack.

"Blue Dragon Spear art! Fifth Form! Blue Dragon Breaks through hell!" I shouted as poured in Qi into my spear. But for some reason, I needed more Qi. This attack was taking way more Qi than it needed to.

"Roar!"

I could hear the sound of a blue dragon roaring. The spear in my hands was restless. It flew forward to the ceiling, ready to break it open. But the white barrier kept strong. It stopped the spear from moving further.

I could see the manifestation of the azure dragon right behind the spear. It tried to push towards the ceiling as well. With each passing moment though, more and more of my Qi was getting depleted.

The ceiling was still not showing any signs of damage. I panted, trying to catch a breath. This attack was more consuming that all the other times that I had used it before. And I was not voluntarily putting in more Qi into this attack. This was something that happened on its own.

My Qi was falling got dangerous levels now. The spear was losing its lustre, and the manifestation of the blue dragon had disappeared. The spear fell down, and I caught it.

"What happened? I was not able to make even a dent?" I looked at the ceiling with shock.

"That is because you are that weak. For someone to break out of this room, he needs to be as strong as me, able to move between two places like I can, or he needs to be in the Nascent Soul Stage to break through with sheer strength. Maybe Liu Qian can break through the room. But you sure as hell cannot. I wanted you to do this so that I can give you one simple task. In two years and nine months, you need to be able to break through this barrier on your own. And if you can, then I will allow you to leave the sect and go to the royal capital." Li Tian said with a serious voice.

"Go to the royal capital? What if I am not able to do this?" I asked.

"I will cripple your cultivation in front of the entire sect, and let the news of that spread to the royal capital." Li Tian said coldly.

"What?!" I took a step back.

"I am just making sure that you live. Now, go out, and go live your sect life. Just remember. There is a looming deadline over you."
