Capítulo 26: Ensemble
It has been a month since Neebo had defeated Prince Archilles and had become an apprentice disciple for Zhu Hongwu's Heavenly Sword Mountain Sect. For the entire month, Neebo had been prohibited by Zhu Hongwu to leave the sanctuary, thus he had been busy with nothing but training. He had been eagerly waiting for Zhu Hongwu's reinforcements, Neebo was very much eager to leave the Nefarious Sanctuary that had been keeping him out from the world outside.
Since Neebo was not allowed to approach the pit where Zhu Hongwu has been putting all his attention to guarding, Neebo's mind has been distracted with escaping from this dark prison. He wonders what kind of cultivators, the reinforcement that Zhu Hongwu had called for.
Were they also as strong as Zhu Hongwu and Meng Fu? Neebo was somewhat agitated, but he kept reminding himself that he had a powerful backer in Zhu Hongwu now. He had kept Zhu Hongwu's medallion in his pocket, making sure that he would never lose it. It was his ticket to his salvation.
At this moment, Neebo had exhausted the provisions that were delivered to him by the two King's Guard that was sent to watch over him.
"aaaahhh, what to do? Do I have to starve again for an entire month, until the reinforcements arrives?" Neebo argued to himself as he nibbles his last provision.
"I have told you countless times to train your internal energy so that you could bid farewell to this mortal needs, but you have insisted on training that weird movement art that you have been busying over with." Grecian retorted "You can go and die a natural death if that's what you want! Our contract allows me freedom if it did happen."
Neebo continues his feast like he has grown annoyed to Grecian's eerie voice, "I know it's easy for you to say that, but to me, I take pride in my movement arts. This was the very reason you are here and not sealed below that pit."
"You have been training the same stupid movement since I have allied with you; there must have been something wrong with what you've learning all this time. Not a single sane person would've practice such movements as much as you have been. I do acknowledge your perseverance, but this movement art seems to me is a trash art. You're only wasting time training with it."
Grecian's retort this time irked the nerve of Neebo, "First, we are not allies. I am your master and you are my slave, you get that straight in your head. Secondly, you may mock my movement arts today, but you are not allowed to tell me what to do and what not to do, I know what I'm doing!" Neebo replied angrily
"If we were not bound by the blood oath, I wouldn't even spare you a glance kid! If only you had been listening to me this entire time, you could've made use of the dark energy here and cultivate your internal energy!" Grecian felt aggrieved, he had been giving Neebo advices on how to become stronger, but Neebo had not listened to him, not even once.
"If we were not bound by the blood oath, for all I know, you would've been left imprisoned inside that powerful seal by Senior Zhu!" Neebo snap back, but in a moment of silence, Neebo in his stupor was dumbfounded to what Grecian had said. "Wait what do you mean I could cultivate the dark energy here? You have never said anything about that this entire time, you creepy spider!"
Grecian seemingly raised his head proudly, he had the upper hand.
"I told you many times to train your internal energy, but you just kept rejecting my assistance. I've already given you the technique so that you may be able to utilize the dark energy here."
Neebo slammed his fists on the ground, he was mad. "Do you think I'm that stupid to want to grow spider limbs in my body? Keep your Demonification with you, I don't want it!"
"That's the end of it then, I won't insist on it ever again! Ungrateful bastard." Grecian felt aggrieved as he rested within Neebo's body.
…
Time moved slowly within the Nefarious Sanctuary.
As Neebo trained with his movement arts; the Nine Steps of Suppression's second step. Zhu Hongwu had been keeping an eye out to any anomaly that might escape from the spatial crack that connected the Blue Pearl World and Grecian's World.
On this day, the doors into the Nefarious Sanctuary suddenly swung open. Dozens of powerful aura descended and into the sanctuary. Three groups of people walked into the sanctuary, adorned with their Immortal Sect robes; Gold, Red and Purple. These were the reinforcement that Zhu Hongwu requested from the Three Great Immortal Sects of this world.
Zhu Hongwu's Heavenly Sword Mountain Sect disciples were a group of young and youthful group in their twenty's, with the youngest aged nineteen years. They were all adorned with their golden scholarly robes. These dozen of disciples from the Sect exude sharpness and a composed bearing that emulates a very disciplined and well-behaved youths. The group was an elite group of Level Seven of Qi Condensation Stage Cultivators.
Bai Feng's Starfall Sects disciples were a group of men in their thirty's, adorned with their sleeveless red training robes. These disciples clearly exude a martial supremacy compared to their peers. The eight men were all at the Level Eight of Qi Condensation Stage.
Meng Fu's Divine Void Sect only had four people on their side, two men and two women. They seem to be at the same age group with the Heavenly Sword Mountain Sect, as they bore youthfulness and grace in their movements and aura. The four of them were all adorned with their elegant purple scholarly robes and their presence brought intimidation towards the other two Sects, as the Divine Void Sect was known to be very strict in taking in disciples and only a select few geniuses and prodigies were fortunate enough to enter.
Among the group, clearly, the Divine Void Sect holds the greatest authority among all. And as they all entered the halls of the Nefarious Sanctuary, they came to a halt, as they await the presence of their elders that was deployed to guard the place.
…
Inside the sanctuary, Neebo felt alarmed by the presence of several powerful auras coming from the sanctuary's entrance. Grecian also felt these presences, but he didn't felt any dangers to it. To Grecian, this retaliation and reaction against his world is not enough to threaten the Demonic Sects of his world. This was clearly an idiotic stunt to gather this kind of force and to scout his world.
"Hmmf, puny humans. Do they really think that these Qi Condensation kids are enough to roam around my world safely, tell your senior that if this was the force that was intended to scout my world then he should not expect their return." Grecian spoke within Neebo's mind.
Neebo felt that what Grecian had said was fair, since Neebo learned from Grecian that his world was a higher realm compared to theirs. He felt pity to whomever this presence belonged to.
Neebo felt disinterested, he didn't want to attract the attention of this seniors. He wanted to keep a low profile this time, since he had too much on his plate already. But not before long, Zhu Hongwu's voice resonated within the sanctuary.
"If you want to live, stand beside me." Zhu Hongwu was calm and yet it brought power and authority that Neebo couldn't reject.
Neebo made his way down the pit, avoiding where the powerful aura resides. This past month, he was tasked by Zhu Hongwu to dig a stairway along the pit. This was the only way for Neebo to escape from below the pit. And as Neebo went back into the place that gave him nightmares, he felt that he shouldn't be that scared since he had a very powerful backer at his side. Thus, Neebo went into the pit with complete obedience and trust towards Zhu Hongwu.
As Neebo arrived below, he found where Zhu Hongwu was sitting cross-legged, meditating. Beside him was his greatsword pierced into the earth. Zhu Hongwu stood up and placed both his arms behind his back, displaying a composed and powerful stance.
'Senior Zhu is truly powerful!' Neebo's eyes clearly reflected his awe towards Zhu Hongwu.
Noticing Neebo's stupor, Zhu Hongwu's voice broke the silence. "Neebo, Elder Meng and Elder Bai are coming. If you want to keep your life, make sure to stand behind me."
Zhu Hongwu's message caused a massive panic in Neebo. These were the elders that he had attacked and knocked out after taking advantage of their weakness. He knew that these elders were displeased by what he did, and since this would be their first meeting since that day, Neebo felt very agitated that he ran behind Zhu Hongwu.
Right after Neebo ran behind Zhu Hongwu, powerful auras descended before the pit. One by one, the disciples of the Three Great Sects landed before Zhu Hongwu and the spatial crack.
The disciples from the Heavenly Sword Mountain Sect were ecstatic as they saw Zhu Hongwu; they beamed joyful smiles towards him. "Uncle Master Zhu, it's been a long time." one of the youth stepped out from the group and expressed his respectful greetings towards his senior. This gesture was followed by the rest of the group, as they were reunited with their well-decorated senior Zhu Hongwu.
Zhu Hongwu nodded in satisfaction, but his eyes showed concern and disappointment. This was a very young group, and even though this group was elites from his Sect. Zhu Hongwu was afraid that this is not enough. He had expressed from his message the severity of this crisis, he was expecting that the elders from his sect would be mobilized, but he was wrong.
The youngest of the group stepped out and greeted Zhu Hongwu, "Uncle Master Zhu!" after that, he erupted with his powerful aura. This caught everyone including Zhu Hongwu off-guard.
"First Level Foundation Establishment Stage!" one of the powerful experts from the Starfall Sect cried out.
Zhu Hongwu reacted brightly; he smiled and congratulated the kid. "You've done a great job Yoh, the Sect must be very proud."
The kid named Yoh beamed a joyful satisfaction, "Thank you Uncle Master! If it wasn't for your guidance then, I wouldn't have achieved such feats."
"A stage two expert at such a young age! He must be the Heavenly Sword Mountain Sect's, Namgoong Yoh the White Flash!" another expert from Starfall Sect commented.
A wave of awe and amazement exploded within the pit, even the disciples from the Heavenly Sword Mountain Sect were dumbfounded by Namgoong Yoh's development. Now, he was clearly their groups, strongest. The Heavenly Sword Mountain Sect's Senior Disciple, Kira Musashi felt threatened. He thought his Level Nine Qi Condensation Stage would be leading their group, he was wrong. Since the Heavenly Sword Mountain Sect has nurtured a very highly competitive environment, everyone within their Sect was their rivals. And this had ignited a burning motivation for Kira Musashi to get stronger.
The four disciples from the Divine Void Sect's eyes flashed with interest, they never thought that the geniuses of the world would still choose Sects other than their Divine Void Sect for cultivation. One of the young female disciples retorted, "One day soon, he would find that his decision of not choosing the Divine Void Sect was his fatal mistake."
This comment resounded throughout the pit, and it made its way into the ears of the Heavenly Sword Mountain Sect's disciples. They reacted with hostility; they knew how condescending the disciples from the Divine Void Sect were. And although the Divine Void Sect was never respectful towards others and does not see them as equals, they had the bragging rights. The Divine Void Sect was truly a home for peerless experts, geniuses. And these four disciples had clearly set up the hierarchy within this gathering.
A male disciple from the Divine Void Sect responded towards the comment of his fellow disciple, "Sister, mind your words. Let us not create a discord between each other. We need them if we want to safely accomplish our tasks at hand."
This comment was received well by the female Divine Void Sect disciple as she bowed and took a step back, "I apologize, Senior Brother Dragon."
"Did you hear? She said he was her Senior Brother Dragon. The Divine Void Sect's Senior Disciple, Dragon!" another round of awe from the disciples of the Starfall Sect broke the awkward silence.
Zhu Hongwu on the other hand suddenly raised his head and looked above.
Fwooooooooooooh!
Booooooooooooom! Booooooooooooom!
The pit was encapsulated with turbulent clouds, as two powerful auras landed before everyone. Zhu Hongwu's hand flickered, and the dusts were blown to the side to settle.
At the center of the crowd, the two powerful auras stood imposingly before everyone. It was Elder Meng Fu of the Divine Void Sect and Elder Bai Feng of the Starfall Sect.
