Alex returned to the Profound Star Sect and directly went to the Mission Hall in order to submit the completion of his mission. After receiving the corresponding rewards, Alex went to et his master but didn't find Valerio. But he did find a note left behind by his master.
It seems that his master has left the sect for a few days because of a special circumstance that he can't tell Alex yet. He told Alex not to wait for him and cultivate diligently. He'll soon return.
After reading the note, Alex nodded his head and then went to find Rishi. This ti, he was going to give Rishi the Earthly Spirit Milk and let him increase his cultivation base at a speed that'll surprise not only his master but the entire Outer Sect.
.....
In the core area of the sect, there was a dicinal field where many dicinal herbs could be seen swaying with the soft blow of wind.
This dicinal field was being taken care of by a core elder who is also the Second Elder of the Profound Star Sect. The second Elder has seven disciples and the newest as well as youngest among them all is a man called Cedric Rayes.
Cedric Rayes entered the sect about a month ago and soon beca the core disciple. It is because not only his cultivation base is extrely high, but also because his talent in alchemy could be said to be terrifying.
There are three cultivation lands. They are Middle Land, Purgatory Land, and Thunder Sky Land.
Cedric ca from the Rayes Family which is one of the most powerful families in the Thunder Sky Land. The Rayes Family could be said to be a First Rate Force and is extrely powerful.
Cedric's parents had died when he was still young. He was brought up by his uncle, Abram Rayes. Abram Rayes has a daughter nad Slivya Rosefield. Slivya had her mother, Serah Rosefield's surna.
Well, Cedric possesses a very special bloodline that was coveted by the Rayes Family. Rayes Family wanted to use him as a furnace, extract his bloodline, and integrate it into the eldest son of the leader of the Rayes Family.
To achieve their aim, they imprisoned Cedric for many months and tortured him a lot. Cedric found an opportunity with great difficulty and ran away from the house.
When the Rayes Family got the gist of this news, they sent many people to hunt him down, including Cedric's uncle Abram Rayes. However, instead of capturing Cedric, Abram told Cedric to go to the Middle Land and enter Profound Star Sect.
According to him, his daughter Slivya Rosefield, who could see a glimpse of the future, saw Cedric's fate changing after entering the Profound Star Sect. Slivya sent a ssage via her father's mouth. She told Cedric to enter the Profound Star Sect. There he'll et a person that can pull him out of all his troubles.
This is the reason why Cedric ca to the Middle Land and entered the Profound Star Sect.
.....
In the dicinal field, Cedric tended to the spirit herbs. These Spirit Herbs are very rare. With Cedric's current wealth, he couldn't afford to buy them.
'My cultivation is still weak. I can't trust anyone. If anyone finds out about my bloodline, I'll be in great trouble.' thought Cedric. 'It seems that I have to find that person who can change my fate as soon as possible. But who is he? How would I recognize her? Slivya... You should have at least given a hint so that I could find that person.' Cedric shook his head and sighed.
Cedric was overwheld by his own thoughts. He felt confused and lost. He finally abandoned all his worries and continued tending to the spirit herbs.
The most important thing right now is to get stronger.
After tending to the herbs, Cedric stood up, cleaned his hands, and walked to a small courtyard not far away. This courtyard was built inside the dicinal field. Cedric was living in this courtyard because of his master's order.
He went to his room to cultivate. However, at this mont, he heard soone call him from behind.
"Junior Brother!" It was a soft female voice.
He turned around, only to see a beautiful young girl nad Shivika who looked very pale. Cedric knew this wasn't good. It is because he had t this girl a few tis and he found this girl very suspicious. They had t at the Spirit Herb Garden mostly. But this ti she had co to his house. And his gut feeling said she ca with ill intentions.
"Hello Senior Sister Shivika. Are you looking for so spirit herbs?" asked Cedric calmly.
"Can we talk inside?" Shivika smiled sweetly at Cedric and asked while pointing inside his courtyard.
'No, definitely not!' thought Cedric but couldn't say it aloud. He did not want to alert the enemy.
"Of course, Senior sister," said Cedric while putting a smile on his face.
"Please." He gestured for her to enter his house. He was on guard. His intuition warned him that there was sothing wrong with Senior Sister Shivika. If he is careless, he will definitely suffer.
After stepping inside the house, Shivika's smiling face beca serious. She looked at Cedric and said: "Junior Brother, can I trust you?" She corrected herself hurriedly. "No, rather you are the only one I can actually trust. I have observed you and I know that I can really trust you."
Cedric was shocked. He didn't what this girl want to do. But he beca more cautious and was ready to summon his sword at any ti.
At the sa ti, he also thought: "Could it be that she sohow got the whiff of his bloodline?"
He pretended to be flustered on the surface and lowered his head. "Senior Sister, what exactly do you want? Please clearly say it."
"I know that you have a good heart and you are also very powerful. I want you to co with and enter the forbidden ground of the sect." Shivika said with a serious expression.
"What?" Cedric was really surprised this ti. "But why?"
"Don't tell anyone what I'm about to say." Shivika took a deep breath and said. Then she first looked around cautiously before speaking: "Actually, the sect is hiding sothing very important from the world. It is an egg."
"An egg?" Cedric was really puzzled. He also doesn't know what this egg is all about. What is so special about this egg that the sect needs to hide it from the world?
"Yes, an egg!" Shivika nodded and said: "Actually, it's a dragon's egg. Have you heard about the previous sect leader, Gatlin?"
Seeing Cedric nod his head, Shivika continued: "Yes, as you know, before the previous sect leader disappeared, he offended the most powerful force of the Three Cultivation Lands that connects to the true Essence Sky World!"
"Do you know how he offended that force?"
Seeing Cedric shaking his head, Shivika acted as if she knew he would be like this. So she said: "He stole the egg from a mber of that force after killing him. This enraged that force as they started hunting him down. Because of that force, our Profound Star Sect's strength had fallen greatly, becoming a Second Rate Force."
"Coming back to the point, the egg that Gatlin stole is the egg of a dragon. Not a flood dragon, but a true dragon. He hid it sowhere in our Profound Star Sect and I think the clue must be left in the forbidden ground where only the sect leader and those few selected people can enter!"
"Now, tell , would you like to co with and enter the Forbidden Ground of the sect to look for clues about the Dragon Egg?"
This ti, Cedric knew why his heart was feeling bad from the mont Shivika appeared in front of him this ti. It is because she wanted him to take a big risk with her. But when he heard about the Dragon Egg, his heart also started beating fast. For a mont, he neither denied nor accepted the offer given by Shivika.
Instead, he started pondering over this matter.
Just as Shivika said, the egg was not a flood dragon egg but a true dragon egg. There is too much of a difference between a flood dragon and a true dragon.
Alex had killed a dragon in his previous life. That dragon was a flood dragon, not a true dragon. Killing a true dragon is almost impossible. It is because any True Dragon can obliterate the entire Three Cultivation Lands in a single day and not a single person can oppose it.
And such an egg appeared in the Profound Star Sect. This greatly shocked him.
After hesitating for so ti, Cedric asked: "Let's say, we got the egg. Then who will keep it? How will we divide it among us, since there is only one egg?"
"Don't worry about that. You can keep the Dragon Egg. I just want the Blood Essence of True Dragon after hatching it. I will extract three drops of Blood Essence. Although extracting even these three drops of Blood Essence from a newborn dragon will weaken it greatly, it'll recover with ti."
