บท 7: The Sect's Past

After freezing 5000 people with a sneeze, Kai calmly looked at Junjun and Riang. They were so frightened that when Kai looked at them, they took a step back unconsciously.

"That was unintentional." Kai told the sect masters and started walking.

"W-w-where ar-re you going." Junjun stuttered because of the cold or perhaps, because of Kai.

"To the inner court." Kai stopped and answered the obvious.

"Are you crazy?! What about these guys?" Riang looked at the frozen people.

Kai sighed and started gathering energy in his hand. A tiny fireball about the size of a marble appeared in the palm of his hand. He threw it towards the sky and the ball of fire suddenly started glowing. It released an extreme amount of heat.

All the frozen people suddenly melted and fell on the ground. All of their clothes were wet and their hair were standing in spikes. Within a few minutes, their bodies and clothes dried up.

After doing that, Kai walked away.

The sect masters stared at his back with fear. After all, they hadn't expected him to be such a monster.

Kai reached the registration desk to ask Kiana where the inner court was. She was sitting there with a bored expression when she saw Kai.

"I passed. Please show me where the inner court is." Kai went up to her and asked nicely.

Kiana was shocked by this but the sect masters had personally watched Kai's test. So he wouldn't be lying about something like this.

"We will go there but first let's get you some robes." Kiana said and started walking.

Kai shrugged and followed her. The entire sect was blue, like blue-blue. From walls to ceiling to robes to pretty much everything. Kai liked blue color but it was too much for him to see everything was in a shade of blue.

Kiana took him to the exchange centre, situated in the mission hall. It was a huge stall where the disciples could exchange sect points for items.

But it had another use. Disciples could come here if they wanted to get their rank upgraded. New disciples received their robes here. They also recieved the sect token.

A middle aged man with black hair and green eyes was sitting there peacefully. Upon seeing Kiana coming with someone he didn't knew, the man simply took out a light blue robe plus a token with a Cresent moon symbol upon it.

"We don't require that Elder Min. Please take out an inner court disciple robe." Kiana siad as she glanced at the robes.

Elder Min was taken back by this. But he still did what Kiana asked and handed her a dark blue robe.

Kiana also took the sect token and asked Kai to follow her. Elder Min eyed Kai carefully but he had already followed Kiana out of the exchange centre.

"The outer court disciples have light blue robes and the inner court disciples have dark blue robes. Whereas the core disciples have jade colour robes. As for the sect masters and elders, we all have royal blue robes. The only difference is our belts. Sect masters have golden coloured strip on theirs. The outer court elders have black on theirs, the inner court elders have silver whereas the core elders have crimson." Kiana explained and handed the robes to Kia.

Kai didn't like robes because they were too old fashioned, but that only extended to himself. When some of his partners wore robes, they looked extremely beautiful in them so he did have any problem with them.

As for the robes, he just tossed them inside his pendant. Kiana coughed as she looked at Kai but she didn't say anything to him.

"Now this is a sect token." Kiana decides to say after a minute and handed the token to Kai, who simply threw it in his pendant.

"When you complete missions for the sect, you can take the reward as sect points or spirit stones. You can exchange sect points for various useful things. The sect token also proves that you are member of our sect." Kiana explained.

"Hmm, anything else you want to tell me?" Kai asked as Kiana though for a moment.

"I know that you are a dual cultivator so I want to warn you about certain things. Since you suddenly became an inner court disciple, many people won't trust you and girls might not want to cultivate with you, no matter how handsome you are. There might be a few rumors about so I hope you don't mind that." Kiana explained as Kai smiled.

"If I was worried about rumors, I wouldn't have become a dual cultivator." He replied as Kiana nodded.

"Do you have any particular talents except dual cultivation?" Kiana asked as she wanted to help him a little.

"I have many talents that you will discover slowly. As for one of them, I can tell that you are a dual cultivator as well." Kai said with a smile as Kiana's eyes widened.

"You might be right about that. Anyways before going back to my job, I will tell you a little about the sect's master. A few centuries back, the Blue Moon sect used to be a dual cultivation sect and it had many strong dual cultivation techniques. They were strong enough to threaten the other great sects and great families. Apparently they were taken over by their greed as they tried to rule the continent by defeating the Zian family.

But the Zian family had a hidden power amongst them who managed to defeat the sect singlehandedly. During that time, the ruler of the Zian family banned our sect from using dual cultivation techniques but after his daughter, the current Zian family ancestor, came to the throne, she lifted that rule.

The Blue Moon sect was allowed to use dual cultivation techniques but at a smaller scale while most of the powerful ones were taken away from the sect. The sect was also forced to become a multipurpose sect and after so much time, we have become a week sect. So if you ever meet another great sect, they would either tease you or take advantage of you. Please steer clear of them." Kiana finished as Kai nodded and thanked her.

"I would like to meet someone on this realm who will be able to take advantage of me. But he or she will probably don't live to tell the tale." Kai muttered to himself and walked away with a devilish smile on his face.
