Chapter 407
---
After recovering his energies for a bit, Raven went out and was headed towards the Sect Master's chamber along with Albert.
The Martial Emperor Sect is situated at the centermost part of the Blue Marble Planet, coincidentally, the Sky Blaze wasn't too far from where it was, which is why it didn't take long for the Sect Master and the sect disciples to arrive at the Highlander Clan, to make things even more simple, there's also a long range transmission gate connecting the two, making the travel quicker than going on foot.
The sect is located within a mountain range, each of this mountains are occupied by at least 100 disciples of the sect. anwhile, the inner disciples and more important mbers of the sect lived inside the sect itself, where the density of energy is almost five-tis greater compared to the outside. The reason for this is because the sect is built under a 4th-Class Heaven Grade Spiritual Vein, in tandem with a special formation built by the experts of the sect, every ounce of energy produced by the Spiritual Veins will never go to waste.
In a nine-floored pagoda located in the middle of the sect, there is an underground passage that leads towards where the spiritual vein is. Within this underground space is a simple room protected by dozens of array formations. This is where Raul, the current Sect Master, is located.
After confirming their identities, Albert entered with Raven, both of them feeling a little bit dizzy from the sheer density of energies here. Raven even involuntarily clicked his tongue, he had no doubts that if he cultivated here, then he would produce double the results with half the effort.
"How are you feeling." Raul's firm yet gentle voice yanked Raven back to reality, he then hurriedly perford a bow and greeted him.
"I'm feeling fantastic City Lo- I an, Sect Master." Raven corrected himself.
Raul let out a hearty laugh and said: "Drop the formalities, Young Raven. If its just us, feel free to address as Uncle."
"Yes, Uncle." Raven didn't fuss about and did what he was told.
"Good!" Raul nodded, he then gestured the two of them to sit down. After that, he turned towards Raven and said: "You really got us worried about you. As far as I know, the probing should only last for at most a week, yet you were monitored for a whole month. It was good a thing that you weren't treated as a Variable."
Raven laughed nervously and said: "Yeah, I was on the edge for the whole ti. Thankfully, I really didn't pissed the Heavenly Laws off. But its all fine, I got so unexpected harvest from that situation."
"Right, I felt that you were experiencing short bursts of enlightennt. Your luck is quite good, with your harvest, you law foundations and comprehension would be quite solid. This would benefit you in the long run. But rember that deducing laws shouldn't be rushed. You've your own path to take."
"Thank you for your advice, Uncle."
"Hmm!" Raul nodded and continued, "Now that's out of the way, do you have any plans for the future?"
As soon as Raul asked this question, Albert's eyes brightened with approval. He knew that the underlying aning behind his question. Raul wanted Raven to join the Martial Emperor Sect.
By now, him and the Highlander Clan were already convinced that Raven isn't simple. If it weren't for him telling them that he ca from the lower realms, they would've guessed that he was a descendant of a very powerful clan or sect. His deanor is firm and he's quite talented, not to ntion that Raven just got the approval of the Heavenly Laws, aning that from now on, his brilliance would beco even more dazzling.
What Raven lacks right now is background, and this sothing that the Highlander Clan wouldn't hesitate to give him, not just for the sake of repaying the kindness he gave them but also as a ans gaining a rising powerhouse as an ally.
It's a win-win situation.
However, it seems that the two of them got a bit excited. From Raven's reactions, it would seem that they weren't destined to keep him with them.
Raven silently produced a badge filled with unique fluctuations and a glossy black luster. Raven's gaze turned a little hit solemn as he asked: "I wonder if Uncle heard about the Old Elysium Sect?"
As soon as he dropped this question, Raul's eyes visibly widened and his breathing turned a little bit heavy. Albert was quite puzzled but decided to remain silent. It was clear that Raul knew what this badge signifies and it must be a shocking thing, causing him to montarily lose his cool.
This black glossy badge was sothing that Raven got from the Lower Realms. Back when he was still roaming the plane, he discovered agents of Black Curtain Guild moving so teorite rocks. After intercepting them, he got hold of the teorites and when they inspected them together, they mysteriously ford into a badge that he's holding now.
All Raven knew about the Old Elysium Sect is that, it is a rather reclusive sect. He heard about this na during his previous life but he didn't pay much attention to them.
Unlike Luna and the rest, no one contacted him nor received him after he got the badge, leaving him on his devices to search for the sect and presumably join them using it.
After a round of silence, Raul cald down and rested his back on the seat. He then smiled at Raven and said: "Hide the badge for now. In the future, don't recklessly take it out otherwise, it will pose great dangers to you."
Raven was surprised, he then absorbed the badge and hid inside his inner world since Raul's warning was a bit alarming.
Raul was montarily dazed for a bit, as if he was in the middle of rembering sothings that happened on his life. He shook his head and a wry smile appeared on his face. His attention returned back to Raven as he said:
"I don't even know if I should say that you're lucky or unlucky because of that." Raul chuckled. "To think that you've been qualified to join the Ancient Elysium Sect, despite being in the lower realms."
Raul shook his head, leaving Raven a bit stunned. "Ancient?"
"Yes. Ancient." Raul nodded, "The Old Elysium Sect's actual na is the Ancient Elysium Sect, well not that it makes much of a difference really."
"Then, Uncle should know how to go there right?" Raven probed.
Raul laughed and said: "Yes. Well, it's more accurate to say that I've tried to join the Ancient Elysium Sect at least five tis but failed."
"What?" Raven and Albert blurted out at the sa ti.
Their reactions caused Raul to laugh mirthlessly once more as he said: "Yeah, you heard it right. This old man right here, tried to join them at least five tis yet failed to do so. Don't get wrong, I'm not resentful about this, in fact I am quite fond of this mory."
"How can that be?" Albert frowned, "Are they that strict in their requirents?"
"Well, 'strictness' can be implied in many ways. It's more accurate to say that I rely don't have the qualifications to join them." Raul replied.
"Hmph, their loss then." Albert snorted, feeling quite displeased.
"You child…" Raul shook his head, "I rember telling you that there's a sky beyond the sky. You really won't understand it unless you tried to join before."
"In front of the Ancient Elysium Sect, our Martial Emperor Sect is nothing but a re ant. Should they ever send an Envoy here with malicious intensions, then that person alone could erase the entire Blue Marble Planet by himself."
Raul casual statent left the two reeling in shock. Both of them could tell that Raul wasn't lying to them, and there's practically no reason for him to do so. Still that can't change the fact that the Ancient Elysium Sect was just that powerful.
This ti, Raul then focused at Raven and said: "I don't need to ask whether you plan to join them or not since I could already tell your answer."
Indeed, Raven didn't need to say much. Just from the blazing fighting spirit he's emitting, anyone could imdiately tell the answer.
"Unfortunately, the current you is not enough." Raul shook his head, causing Raven's excitent to dim down. "That's not to say that you don't have any chance. You still have less than a year before the next requirent occurs. It's best if you strengthen yourself as much as possible before the recruitnt day arrives. Of course, when ti cos, I'll personally bring you there. Whether you succeed or not, that will depend on your abilities."
"Thank young Uncle. I'll work hard to not disappoint you." Raven answered, his mind was already forming so training plans for the whole year in order to maximize the result of his training.
"Of course, feel free to ask for any resources you need. It would be best if, upon your breakthrough to the Champion Realm, you would condense a Perfected Immortal Champion's Physique since that's the minimum requirent to be admitted to the sect."
As soon as Raul said this, Raven and Albert could only look at each other in dismay.
