Chương 17: ~Concerned~

Huno brought Luna out and soon energies fluctuated in her body. The energies increased rapidly until the energy level was the same as the low-rank True realm and the two energies became chaotic. Huno's hand glowed and as the energy level increased, he felt pain. The air around became chilly, and a force wrapped around Huno as Luna took to the sky. One by one, the sect master and elders followed, and a battle began.

Techniques one after another blasted at Luna, who blocked, dodged, and countered.

The disciples of the sect stared up, trying to get a glimpse of the battle, but could not. Layers of frost were scattered and floating in the sky, impeding their view.

The third elder clasp his hand together and made a hand sign. The surrounding space glowed as a bell image appeared above him. He stopped the hand signs, stretched his right hand to face Luna, and said, 'harmonious disorder.'

Visible sound waves came out from his hands and headed towards Luna.

Luna froze the air between the both of them and an enormous wall appeared. While doing that, she repelled other attacks. The wall scattered, but the attack was stopped.

'It's time I shouldn't tell you what to do, right?' the sect master said while looking at Huno. Immediately he flew towards Huno and Luna, not giving Huno time to think.

'Luna attack sect master. With everything you got,' Huno yelled. Luna turned to look at him as if asking, are you sure?

'Attack him and attack great elder when you are done,' Huno said. Luna didn't hesitate any longer. She raised her left arm towards her right side and then slash it diagonally down to the left. An airwave flew towards the sect master and he didn't block or dodge. When it landed, there was a cut on his chest and blood flowed out. 'Again and again,' Huno said. Luna struck twice again with her right and left arms. The sect master blocked one and took one.

'Legendary realm,' the sect master yelled loudly. Everyone below heard this, and chills ran down their spine.

'Everyone fall back now,' the sect master voice sounded again.

'Attack great elder once and fly towards the cold region,' Huno said. Luna followed and just like the sect master, the great elder didn't avoid it. Not wasting time, Luna flew away as fast as she could.

The elders looked at each other, smiled, and landed before the sect gates, not saying a word.

'We need to report this, eight elder I will have to trouble you, rest up and by first light you set out, sixth elder fifth elder and third I'll trouble you to investigate the ruins and see if we can get any information about them, maybe they forgot a token or something related to their origin,' the sect master said. 'Understood,' the four elders replied.

'When you are done everyone gather at the hall, (he turned to the disciples around) no one apart from the elders is permitted at the battle site, anyone found there will be considered an ally of them, you all know what that means,' the sect master said. 'Yes sect master,' the disciples replied. 'Pass the news on to everyone,' the sect master added and left. The elders followed immediately and after about thirty minutes, everyone was gathered in the palace hall.

Sitting at the head above, the sect master said, 'I want to know what you think, we have five core disciples each at different realms, I plan on giving some stones to three elders to push them to the peak and invest every stone on the five core disciples to push them to at least the high rank after that whatever remains will be shared among the elders,'. 'I have no say on who the three elders will be as long as there will be no conflict. If there will be, I'll randomly pick,' he added.

The elders looked at each other and then the third elder stood up and said, 'I think the three should be the three youngest among us, if we think about the sect they are the best option, they haven't been in high rank for too long so we old bones who have been here for too long will be a wasted investment in the long run age will eventually tell on us,'. 'Besides, it's not like we wouldn't get right, it will just take time. What is a matter of a year or two in our eyes,' he added.

'It is but a blink of an eye,' the first elder laughed and said.

'Does everyone agree with this?' the sect master asked and everyone nodded. 'Then congratulation to the sixth elder, seventh elder, and eighth elder,'.

The three stood up and said, 'thank you, sect master, thank you, great elder, thank you, senior brothers,'.

~Two Days Later~

'Are we really heading to that place? I don't think we should,' Luna said, trying to dissuade Huno again. 'Yeah we need to, if we want to advance quickly we have to go there, cultivation under the peak True realm requires one to absorb Qi energy, meaning as long as your aptitude isn't bad and you have enough Qi energy you can advance fast, so we need those stones at an enormous amount if we want to reach a higher realm,' Huno said.

'And how fast do you want to advance?' Luna asked. 'I want to get to the peak True realm within four months,' Huno replied.

'Senior brother, I feel that is not good, your foundation may not be solid,' Xue Li's voice came into his ear.

'I don't think so. From my analysis, anyone can advance as long as he/she absorbs energy, having an unsteady foundation will occur when you don't absorb it yourself,' Huno replied.

'Did senior brother or senior sister say something?' Luna asked as she controlled the platform.

'Senior sister said advancing quickly may affect my foundation,' Huno replied.

'Okay,' Luna said.

'Senior brother, what do you mean?' Xue Li's voice came again.

'What I mean is as long as one absorbs the energy by his or herself there shouldn't be any problem of unsteady foundation, that problem should occur with the effect of unsteady mind, a problem when converting cores or when a senior directly inject energy in a junior to get openings in the core, oh I almost forgot about wrongly directing the energy, these should be the causes of unsteady foundation,' Huno said.

'If you think about it, the only difference between using the stones to cultivate and not using them is the amount of energy in the stones and the environment, right? It's not that we are using an external force to cultivate. The stones are a condensation of Qi energy from the environment, right? So using them is the same as using the environment,' Huno added.

'Well, if you put it that way I don't think there will be any problem, but senior brother, to be on the safe side why not extend the time limit you placed, at the very least they cannot find us six to eight months right?' Xue Li's voice came to his ear. 'About two months is the time they will arrive at the sect, they'll follow to the cold region I doubt anyone will want to enter given that, that's like Luna's territory, the legendary realm will surely think of this, so if they don't enter there are only three things they can do, one will abandon the chase for good, two will be set eyes around the cold region which will require a great amount of manpower and three is to spread a painting of you around and declare you wanted, I remember you said the seventh elder added a map into the bag of money, if within one month or no three weeks we leave the cold region through the farthest place from where we entered, senior brother Lee and I can go find a house to rent without exposing your face, you can shut-in for months and no one will find you, what do you think?' Xue Li suggested.

'I have to say, brother, you found a smart sister-in-law for me,' Huno said. 'Not only smart but lovely and wonderful,' Lee Wei from came to his ears.

'Junior sister, brother said, you are smart, lovely, and wonderful,' Huno said.

'Both of you are teasing me,' Xue Li's voice came into his ears.

'Brother she said we are teasing her,' Huno laughed.

Lee Wei laughed and said, 'Brother I cannot explore this place properly, I can't seem to grasp how big this place is, it seems to be small yet spread infinitely, if I keep going I may not be able to get back to the others'.

'Seriously, that's strange. Okay thank you brother, please continue with your cultivation,' Huno said.

'There's something I'll like to talk about also,' Lee Wei said. 'What's that brother?' Huno asked. 'It's not only space that's distorted, it seems the time in here is distorted and in here thinking is slow or stagnating,' Lee Wei said.

'I can't grasp the passage of time in here so I can't tell how long has passed since we came into this place, and when I think too hard and too much my thinking becomes slow, it's not quite serious, but when you try to grasp the passage of time and persistently think too hard, it feels like falling into darkness and emptiness,' Lee Wei added.

'Is that so? Hmm, maybe when I get to a higher realm I'll be able to fix that. It's so annoying I can't see the inside,' Huno said.

'I think when you get to the True realm you'll be able to see it,' Lee Wei said.

'Why do you think so?' Huno asked.

'At the True realm, one can use divine sense and with that, you should be able to see it,' Lee Wei replied.

'That sounds nice. I can't wait?' Huno said.
