League of Legends?
An Lin’s chest constricted, and he wanted to storm away immediately.

Are you serious?
he asked with a dark expression.
Liu Qianhuan nodded with a sincere expression.
Of course! If you don’t like it, we can call it League of Valor as well!


Our sect isn’t going to be running internet cafes and gaming tournaments as well, is it?
An Lin asked expressionlessly.



Genius! What a fantastic idea! We can recruit all the cultivators with Internet addictions and instigate a gaming sensation throughout the entire cultivation world!
Liu Qianhuan clapped her hands together as if she had discovered a new continent.

Heh… sorry for the intrusion.
An Lin turned to leave.

Hey, don’t go!

Slim fingers gripped onto An Lin’s arm.

If you don’t like the name, we can think of something else.
Liu Qianhuan pouted as she looked at An Lin like a helpless little kitten.

Alright, let’s do some more brainstorming then.
An Lin sighed.
The name of a sect was actually quite important as it almost determined the fate of the sect.
It had to either accentuate the unique qualities of the sect or exemplify a sense of loftiness and grandeur.
Heavenly Court, Ten-Thousand Spirits Immortal Sect, Vermilion Bird Sect, Heavenly Sword Sect, Mythological Beast Sect; all these sects had badss names. If you chose a crappy name, even the gods would renounce you, so there would be no luck bestowed upon you.
Of course, the Heaven Crushing Sect was an exception to this.


Thus, the two of them began to discuss with one another again.
The name was actually quite difficult to think of as there were so many sects out there already. One couldn’t just register a name and steal another sect’s name in the process, right? That would be inhumane.
If one were to steal the name of a weak sect, people would say one was bullying the weak. If one were to steal the name of a powerful sect, a battle would be almost unavoidable.
It would be seen as a blatant provocation if a new sect with the same name as one’s own sect suddenly popped up! On this continent, each sect had to have its own unique name!

Sigh, it looks like all the good names have been taken. How about we try thinking of some more outlandish names?
Liu Qianhuan sighed with a resigned expression.
An Lin pondered for a moment before his eyes suddenly lit up.
Why don’t we call it the Four Nine Immortal Sect?

Liu Qianhuan considered this for a moment before a smile appeared on her face.
You mean like the number of great derivation, forty-nine?


That’s right!
An Lin replied,
Surely no one has a sect name consisting of numbers like this one? We’ll be unique in that respect across the entire continent, and that name is really deep and profound as well!

Liu Qianhuan clicked her finger with joy.
Nice, we’ll call it Four Nine Immortal Sect then!

Thus, the Four Nine Immortal Sect was born from their casual conversation.


After that, they began to discuss some specific details or plans they had for the sect, and before they knew it, they had already reached the end of the path while Liu Qianhuan had made up her mind somewhere along the way.

Alright then, lord of the Sword Pavilion, don’t forget to come over for dinner tonight, and we can discuss more details!
An Lin yelled at the pink-haired figure who was flying away atop her sword.

I won’t forget, Sect Leader, make sure to recruit some solid members into the sect!
Liu Qianhuan yelled back from the sky.
She was going to the school office to make the final arrangements upon which she would inform them that she was going to go to the Four Nine Immortal Sect instead of staying at the Heavenly Court upon her graduation.
Within the university office.
All the teachers were dumbstruck by the information on the form submitted by Liu Qianhuan. What the hell was this Four Nine Immortal Sect?!

Ahem, Student Liu Qianhuan, your aptitude is top-tier even in the entire Kingdom of the Nine States. Only the Heavenly Court can help you reach greater heights and not let your talent go to waste. It would be a waste of your potential to go to any other sect!
a teacher persuaded in a meaningful and heartfelt manner.
Another female teacher also chimed in,
Even if you don’t want to remain at the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Sword Sect is a very good home for you as well. Why would you choose to establish some new sect instead? That’s just absurd!


Okay, okay, prodigies like me will shine wherever I go!

Goodbye, dear teachers, I’ll miss you all!



Liu Qianhuan waved with a smile as radiant and enchanting as a spring breeze before stepping out the door.
As one of the pioneers of the Four Nine Immortal Sect, she had more important things to do.
Perhaps it would be a bit boring and dull at the beginning, but she firmly believed that all her friends were going to unite with her in the new sect.
An Lin’s dorm room was packed full of people; all of whom were his close friends from the university.
After hearing of An Lin’s plans to establish a new sect, the dorm room erupted into gasps of surprise, followed by heated discussion.
Xu Xiaolan immediately expressed her support and stated that she wanted to be the lord of the Flame Pavilion.
However, to An Lin’s surprise, everyone else also expressed their full support of this new sect.
Yao Mingxi and Yao Xiu vehemently requested to join Liu Qianhuan’s Sword Pavilion while Tang Ximen wanted to become an elder who was only responsible for fighting but not teaching.
Su Qianyun was planning to establish a Moon Pavilion and was asking if she could establish a Moon Palace pill-refinement branch there; the type where many beautiful young women gathered together to refine pills.
An Lin couldn’t have approved more of this idea!


Xuanyuan Cheng pondered for a moment before deciding that he could establish the Spirit Pavilion and act as its lord, but he would need a deputy lord, and his attention would most likely be divided between the Ten-Thousand Spirits Immortal Sect and the Four Nine Immortal Sect following his graduation.
Miao Tian, Luo Ziping, and the others also wanted to join the sect, but they hadn’t thought of what roles they could undertake yet.
Tears began to well up in Liu Qianhuan’s eyes upon seeing this.
She had already become accustomed to the warmth of having her friends by her side and not being lonely. However, graduation made her fearful again. She feared that she would lose everything she gained during her time at this school.
But today, she discovered that real friendships could provide perpetual warmth as long as one made efforts to maintain them.

Sword Immortal Liu, I’ll be under your care from now on!
With a broad grin, a thin woman in a green dress slung an arm over Liu Qianhuan’s shoulder.
Liu Qianhuan turned to look at her. Her name was Xin Zhu, and she was one of Liu Qianhuan’s best friends. Her aptitude was quite good, but her sect was quite ordinary, so theoretically, the best choice for her was to join the Heavenly Court. However, she began to hesitate when she heard that her idol, An Lin, was going to establish a new sect and that her good friend was going to be a lord at this sect as well.
In the end, Xin Zhu finally made a huge decision to go to the Four Nine Immortal Sect!

Do you want to reconsider? The sect has only just been established, so there aren’t going to be many benefits being given out here in the early stages!
Liu Qianhuan cautioned.

I’ve made my final decision! If I join now and become one of the sect’s pioneers, I would be set for life if the sect really did become a force to be reckoned with! This is a long-term investment!
Xin Zhu replied with a serious expression.
Liu Qianhuan burst into laughter and flicked her on the head.
Alright, Little Zhu, you’re one of my subordinates now!

Another wave of enthusiastic discussion ensued, after which An Lin finalized the structure of the new sect.
He stood on a chair with a banner in his hand; a
four
character constructed from a golden phoenix and a
nine
character constructed from a true dragon appeared on the banner.

I hereby announce that the Four Nine Immortal Sect, which carries the hopes of the human race on its shoulder, has officially been established!!!

His announcement was greeted by a wave of raucous cheers with the cries of dragon phoenix in accompaniment. No one knew what this sect was going to entail, but they knew that all they could do was to follow their hearts, live every day to the fullest, and everything else would take care of itself.
