Five Days,
I opened my eyes. I thought that I would be able to cross a minor realm, but I was mistaken. It was harder than I had thought. Even if there wasn't any bottleneck, so to speak, there was still a huge chasm to cross.
I stretched my arms. My body was a little sore after completing so many cycles of the Heaven Devouring Art.
I creaked open the door of the cultivation room to find that the outside world was not as quiet as inside the room. The cultivation room had the wonderful feature of blocking out all sound from the outside. And it worked extrely well until now.
"What is going on, brothers? Why the commotion?" I asked one of the n who was in a fierce discussion.
"You don't know? The Pill Tower has been closed for five days, and it is opening today. Everyone is desperate to leave. All of us ca here to help out the tower, but no one expected the tower to be so unreasonable. The sect has already called for all of the sect disciples to co back if they want to." the man said.
It was at this mont that I realized that every single person that I could see had sect robes on them. The people that the tower had forced to stay inside were from the Sky Heavens sect.
"Boy, is this going to be an interesting showdown to look at." I chuckled.
"So we can leave now?" I asked.
"And you don't want to. You have to get to the Nascent Soul realm in three months and get his throat. Or else, you are screwed." Liu Man reminded .
"The bandit mission has to be finished as fast as possible. I can't afford to be wasting ti on this. Like you said, I need to get to the Nascent Soul realm. That is the priority. And for that, I can't be wasting ti on bandits. I will get this over with, and go back to the sect to focus on getting to the Nascent Soul realm." I said.
"Yes. I am glad that you are thinking straight." Liu Man sighed with relief.
I headed to the center of the floor where the teleportation array was located. It was already sward by people from the Sky Heavens sect and alchemists from the Pill Tower alike. And this was just a recipe for disaster.
"How can you bla for sothing that the Pill Elder has decided? This is just absurd!" one of the alchemists bearing the clover symbol on his robe said.
"You are an alchemist. It was your stupid decision to join this god forsaken tower. We have helped you all this long, and this is the repaynt we get? Don't forget, you are just alchemists. Even if you are in the Nascent Soul Realm and I am in the Core Formation realm, I can kill you if I wanted to!" the man shouted.
My ears perked.
"I can kill an alchemist even if he is in the Nascent Soul Realm? Obviously not now, but later, when I advance in the Core Formation stage. I might be able to get there. He is a pill elder, so he should be in the Nascent Soul Realm or the Xiantian realm, but for soone like that, he has to be in the Nascent Soul realm. The system won't give an impossible task, will it?" I thought to myself.
"Silence! This is absurd! Stop fighting!" a woman shouted. Her voice was sweet, but domineering.
"Senior sister! How can we let the Pill Tower get away with this? They have gone too far. We need to show them that the Sky Heavens sect is not soplace that they can just bully and get away with." the man who was fighting said.
"And are you the sect leader of the sect, or is he the branch leader? Both of you represent nothing but yourselves. This problem was caused by You Feng. That much is apparent. So why don't we bring him out to answer for this impudence?" she snarled.
"Yes! We must get You Feng out here to apologize for this! Where is he?" the man took the alchemist by the collar and asked threateningly.
"He is in the twelfth floor, where all the Pill Elders are. You are not allowed to go there. The branch leader might not be here, but he is going to be furious if you do this." the alchemist said. The fear was apparent in his eyes.
"Let us go there. We are from the Sky Heavens sect. We have no need to fear so branch leader. Not even the main Pill Tower would do this to a sect of the seven." the other disciples rallied.
"This is good. We will be able to drag him out. The system is sure to give out a ssage if I am that close to him. I can confirm if he is Yurian Gale." I loved what was going on. This was just what I wanted.
"Activate the teleportation array. Let us go to the twelfth floor!" the senior sister said as she looked at one of the attendants who was just standing frozen in one corner.
"Forgive , esteed guests, but I am not authorized for this task. The teleportation array will only take you to the first floor. That is the only place that you are allowed to go." he said, his arms and feet trembling.
"Do you even know who I am? Do you think that a core disciple of the Sky Heavens sect just ca here for fun? The sect had plans to take out the bandit problem completely, but it seems that the tower does not care for that at all." the senior sister smiled.
