The Nether Master continued to explain the situation to the rest of them. Shen Tian narrowed his eyes, he was not in anyway going to risk his life by creating a Soul Seal with any of those here. After all, how could be be sure that he would not be required to kill his master in the future?
Thinking a bit more, Shen Tian understood that it was not that surprising for the Nether Master to tell them about it. A Soul Seal was very important to sects, where betrayal was common. Although the Nether Master said the soul seal was created due to the relationship between a master and disciple, it was more about the sect and the disciple.
Not only did they not choose their masters, but they also had to silently wait for the rest to decided whenever they wanted to come or not. The Draconic ruins Realm was filled with opportunities for those who wanted to take the offer, but Shen Tian had the Undying Cycles Realm, which could support him with the energy he required to cultivate.
A beautiful lady smiled, and chose several girls as her disciples, including Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning'er. Shen Tian narrowed his eyes once again, he felt the urge of using Kotoamatsukami on all of them. He was not used to risking the lives of his friends so much, it was an unfamiliar feeling to him.
The beautiful lady looked at Shen Tian, although he seemed to have tried to hide his glare, in fact he was caring about it at all, thus she noticed it. Despite the cold glare, she smiled even at him. 'Seems we have a love bird… He will be a bad influence to the future cultivation of this girl here.'
Most people were set up in a relationship with one of the masters present here. Jing Ye and Jian Yu went with Nie Li, becoming disciples of the Nether Master. The Chaos Emperor and Feng Hao together with him were still undecided, it seems as if they were not going to be chosen by any of the masters present.
"You three, come with me." The only out of the eight Spiritual Gods present, also the one who was the most mysterious of the bunch pointed at the three, it seems they were stuck with this one as their master. Shen Tian This Spiritual God's appearance was not visible, as he was covered in a dark cloak.
They could slightly see silver hair and a brown complexion. He also was very tall, almost nearing two meters. He had a fit physique, his muscles were well developed, but they could not see much of him since the dark cloak covered most of his appearance. Shen Tian did not focus on that part at the moment.
"My name is Li Kong. Your master for the next several years, or till death separates us. You will be joining the Primordial Abyss Sect." Li Kong opened his mouth to reveal a hoarse voice, which did not bother any of them, although cultivators lived to be extremely old, and could look young, they could also be extremely old.
Li Kong seemed to be around his mid twenties, but the obvious truth was that he was far older, maybe even older than the Nether Master, since Shen Tian felt the way he had cultivated differed from that of the Nether Master's or anyone else when it came to that. He was also the one who was most suspicious of the Chaos Emperor of the eight.
"You will be allowed to stay in the Tiny World for another three months, where you can bid your final farewells to your family members, before we depart to the Draconic Ruins Realm through the portal. As a fellow member of the Tiny World, I wish all of you good luck in the Draconic Ruins Realm."
Nie Li talked with the Nether Master for a while, before walking towards Shen Tian, asking him." Do you want to come with us to the Endless Deserts? You can also bring your friends with you. There might be something worth searching for there, in fact I am sure we will be able to gain a lot of treasures from there."
"Endless Desert? I've heard of that place before. I'm unsure, do any of you guys want to go with Nie Li there? Do not hesitate." Shen Tian looked at the others, most of the shook their head, saying no but Feng Hao and Xiao Ning'er nodded,"We might be able to improve our strength when we go there."
Shen Tian chuckled, he understood why Feng Hao wanted to go. He had lost his right to fight for the Death Law, he could not cultivate the Light And Darkness or Fire Law since all of them were occupied, he had to find something to fight for. He could see the conflicting feelings Feng Hao was experiencing.
Xiao Ning'er was also a bit desperate to catch up to Shen Tian, he'd have to talk to her about this issue. It was one thing to keep herself motivated about this, and another to get desperate to the point of doing anything to reach his current level, that definitely was not healthy to her cultivation or herself at all.
He nodded,"I'll send a clone of mine to go with you all, Xiao Ning'er and Feng Hao are going to come with me also, when and where are we going to meet? I'm considering the fact that we have three months before we leave Glory City or the Tiny World for the Draconic Ruins Realm after all."
Nie Li pondered,"We can leave for the Endless Desert in a week, you can bid your farewells to your father and aunt, the journey will last a few weeks, so please do not rush. Chances are that by the time we return maybe we won't have any time left to bid farewell to anyone else." He responded.
