"So tell , why are you really here?"
The Sect Leader asked with a serious expression. He had to take this seriously. After all, there was nothing the Emperor does that is simple.
As the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect, he has a responsibility to his sect first before any other.
Although he had currently allied with the Hartfield Empire's Emperor, a cooperation that is currently unknown to the rest of the world and even many elders in the sect, he still had a feeling that there is more to this so-called 'training'.
Arthur sensed the wave of emotions from the Sect Leader and understood that he had no ill will and was just being protective.
It was also because he held no trust in the Emperor.
"I understand your worries. But I assure you that I bear no ill will towards your sect. In fact, if not for certain responsibilities due to my identity, I have co to like it here."
"And besides, I will be leaving soon anyway. My training journey is about to co to an end with the Grand Martial Arts Tournant not far away, I have to return soon enough."
Arthur spoke calmly.
The Sect Leader did not respond for so ti before asking, "Why did you create a faction?"
"That was a decision I made without any hidden agenda. So you don't have to worry."
A silence descended for a while before it was broken by the sect leader.
"You understand why I never took any action to make you our Pri Disciple right?"
"I do."
"Do you hold it against ?"
"No, I do not, and I would rather not take the position." Arthur smiled.
He has his own plans and becoming the Pri Disciple and future sect leader of the sect was not part of his goals.
He already had a plan for this set and it does not involve him taking the mantle of the pri disciple.
"I see. Actually, the rule to make you our pri disciple was set by the founder, but he never ntioned why. We once thought it was because of the potential of one who can clear the sword tower but I believe otherwise."
The sect leader looked deeply into Arthur's eyes as he said this. But Arthur revealed no change in his expression, even his eyes remained calm.
"You want to know what I found up there?" Arthur asked.
The sect leader nodded as Arthur understood his intentions, "If you would not mind sharing."
Arthur appeared thoughtful for a mont before coming to a decision.
'Hmm, I can not reveal the map to the Sword Heart Treasure. But on the other hand...'
Arthur took out a token from his spatial right with a ntal command and threw it to the sect leader.
*tap!*
He caught it and looked at it curiously, and his expression changed when he saw through the intricacies of this token.
"This is from the upper realms?"
"Yes, to be precise it is from a transcendent power."
The sect leader trembled a little. He knew what this ant. Any force that is strong enough to be called a transcendent power ans it has been able to produce Immortals.
An Immortal.
Such a being had never been seen since the last Realm War took place. Over tens of thousands of years had passed since then and no power had been able to birth an immortal.
As ti passed it beca harder and harder to ascend as the Mortal Emperor Realm experience a great loss of essence energy and a weakening of its spiritual laws that are required to ascend.
It was said that on the day all continents return as one, the spiritual essence energy will be recovered and there would be a slimr of hope to birth an immortal, but who knew when that would happen?
So the sect leader made this offer without too much deliberation.
"This is a disciple token, I have already been accepted as an Outer Court Disciple of the Immortal Sect."
Arthur spoke again and this ti, the way the sect leader looked at him changed.
If before he saw him as a talented youngster with a greater background than his, then now he saw him as a light at the end of the tunnel.
This could very well be his hope to ascend to the high heavens.
"Would you be willing to take the place of our Pri Disciple?" The sect leader asked suddenly.
'As expected. To one who pursues the peak of the Dao. A way to ascend to the upper realm is a pie they can not resist, no matter what.'
A disciple of an immortal sect, who would not desire to create a good relationship with him.
Even the mighty forces in the central continent will rush at the slightest hint to curry favor.
'Now I know why the founder left such an instruction. He was showing us hope and a way to grab a hold of the slightest chance to advance. And I almost missed it!'
Arthur smiled at the offer, but he shook his head, "I can't accept this position."
"Why? According to the sect rules you are already the Pri Disciple." The Sect Leader smiled warmly.
'What the?! This old man's skin must be very thick. Just a mont ago you were trying to get to leave and now you want to stay? Sorry, but I am not so cheap, and besides...'
Arthur stretched his hand and the sect leader understood the gesture and returned the token made with an immortal jade back to Arthur.
"I refuse," Arthur replied, causing the sect leader's smile to stiffen.
At this point, the sect leader knew he had ssed up an opportunity.
"Na any price you want, Prince Arthur."
'Oh, so words didn't work and now you want bribery?'
Arthur chuckled, "No need for that. But I do have a proposal that will make up for this."
"What is it?"
"What if I can..."
