Lost Heaven Sect (2)
🕑 Added 2023-11-04 10:50:24 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 65 ---
Over three hundred guests walked into the courtyard. They come from third-grade sects to first-grade sects like Heavenly Sword Villa, Burning Heaven Clan, Xiao Sect, and Frozen Cloud Asgard.
However, walking on the white-paved floor of Lost Heaven Sect really makes them feel like country bumpkins. It is because every building material in this 'new' Sect costs a fortune.
From road to wall, even the freaking greenery on the side makes their eyes twitch in wonder.
"White Course Mystic Gravels."
"Sunrock and Black Slate Stone."
"Even the rare Air Changing Willow Tree." Someone well-versed in business murmured in disbelief.
"No wonder the profound strength in the atmosphere is so pure. The tree alone could purify energy in the one hundred meter square if placed long enough."
Ling Wuguo sighed, thinking that even his Heavenly Sword Villa wasn't this extravagant.
Rich!
Lost Heaven Sect is too rich!
Chu Yueli shook her head at their reaction. She is also shocked when she knows how wealthy the Shadow Realm is.
Shadow Realm's revenue is more than seven nations in the whole continent.
Even the Black Moon Merchant Guild didn't know about this because they operated in micro-sized businesses, such as food and clothes fields under everyone's nose.
But then again, no one knows.
They are moving and living in the shadows.
After walking for five more minutes and enjoying the scenery, they arrived at the courtyard where several Lost Heaven Sect's disciples lined up in a martial arena.
Several seats were 'neatly' placed on a wooden platform to face the martial arena, each made with comfortable materials.
On the center, farthest seat, a purple-robed man sat calmly. He had a tall but toned build, long black hair, and wore a tribal white mask that resembled a demon.
Purple and red auras are swirling around him, giving them a mystic feeling.
'Fuck, we can't sense his strength at all.' The guests thought solemnly.
All they felt when seeing the Lost Heaven Sect was a massive mountain overshadowing them.
They felt like an ant before him.
'Haa... Villa Master, it seems you're making a great choice of sending me here.' Ling Wuguo clenched his hand instinctively.
The Heavenly Sword Villa's Master was suspicious about the Lost Heaven Sect's invitation, so he sent the elder with the most wisdom. If it was any other elder, Ling Wuguo was afraid they wouldn't show enough respect toward this great master.
Xiao Sect's Leader felt overwhelmed but happy at the moment. As the leader of his Sect, he could decide to form a connection with the Lost Heaven Sect's leader right now.
Others aren't so lucky because they sent representatives here.
"Lost Heaven Master, the guests have arrived." Hong Guan bowed to the purple-robed man.
The Lost Heaven Master glanced at the guests and nodded, "Please sit down. The ceremony is about to get started."
'Even his voice carries so much power.' Some people thought when hearing Lost Heaven Master's deep voice.
They sat down, and some disciples immediately placed pleasantries for them, such as food and drinks.
At first, they thought it was normal.
But then they realized the foods and drinks are 'actually' made with rare ingredients, and only the First-Class Sect could afford these in large amounts.
The Lost Heaven Master raised a cup and said calmly. "This toast is for everyone."
"Enjoy the banquet of Lost Heaven Sect's opening ceremony."
"Let's start this with a festive spirit!"
Music started playing as beautiful dancers appeared in the martial arena, showing exquisite movement.
The elder of Chasing Thunder Sect gulped nervously and tasted the food, feeling his profound strength boil in excitement.
Collective gasps echoed on the wooden platform.
"This is..."
"My cultivation shows a sign of breakthrough."
"Miracle, what a miracle!"
Fen Duancang covered his mouth in delight, "If only I could eat this kind of food every day. It's simply too expensive."
"You said that, but even as a Sect Master, I can't afford to do that." Xiao Juetian chuckled helplessly.
The mood becomes merrier as the sight of beautiful dancers and the sounds of music capture the spirit of Lost Heaven Sect's opening.
Everyone is so impressed.
They would have never thought a newly opened Sect possessed such a deep pocket.
ROAR!
All of a sudden, a mighty roar echoed on the mountain range.
Everyone stopped and lifted their heads, watching a massive creature descending from the sky.
It was a dragon.
Scarlet Dragon!
Burning Heaven Clan's Elders, Fen Duancang stared at the 100-meter-long profound beast and trembled. "E-Emperor Profound Beast."
"Damn, there is an Emperor Profound Beast in the Lost Heaven Sect?!"
"That's Lost Heaven Sect's guardian beast, Scarlet Dragon." Hong Guan was 'quickly' introduced to everyone. She smiled and added, "He'll be staying for the opening ceremony."
The Scarlet Dragon opened his mouth and said, "Humans, I hope you give my Sect a deserved respect, or you'll regret it."
Every guest awkwardly nodded their heads.
They didn't know it wasn't a warning but an advice.
After that, the Scarlet Dragon glanced at the purple-robed man on the highest seat and landed on the ground nearby.
'He only sent his avatar.' The profound beast thought to himself.
'Well, that's expected.'
'He's probably watching somewhere else-!' However, when the Scarlet Dragon gazed around and spotted a familiar person in the martial arena, his slitted eyes widened in shock.
As the music stopped playing and the dancer retreated, a black-haired youth in a purple martial robe slowly entered the Martial Arena.
The profound beast wanted to curse but held himself back.
'Fuck, Shit, Motherfucker. What are you doing there?!' Well, his mind is something else.
The youth's appearance caught everyone's attention.
"What a handsome youth." Said a female guest.
"Mhm, I can't disagree with you." Said another female guest.
"At a young age, he already has such a devilish charm."
The youth is over 160 centimeters with a lean and toned build.
That devilish yet handsome face was 'perfectly' crafted with sharp eyebrows, a high nose, and thin lips.
He also has bright golden eyes that seemingly probe the maiden's heart, making him even more charming.
Although he wore a loose purple martial robe and black pants, they couldn't hide some of his well-developed muscle and youthful spirit.
"Master." The youth bowed to the Lost Heaven Master.
"Mm." The Lost Heaven Master responded with a nod.
After that, he bowed to guests, "Esteemed guests."
"My name is Yu Long. I'm the head disciple of Lost Heaven Sect."
"Today, I'll demonstrate our Sect's Profound Arts."
"S-So young..." Someone couldn't help but utter.
"He looks no older than sixteen and a head disciple?"
"Are you dumb? He literally greeted the Lost Heaven Master as his master!" Another guest rolled his eyes.
"Ah, does that mean?"
"Yes, he's the disciple of the Sect Master."
Everyone fell into realization.
Ling Wuguo, Fen Duancang, and Xiao Juetian gazed at Yu Long with interest and curiosity.
A disciple of such a great master shouldn't be ordinary.
But something felt off.
How to put it, this youth feels no special besides his appearance.
Ling Wuguo couldn't sense anything from Yu Long.
'His profound energy is concealed. I can't sense his cultivation base.'
'His breathing is too normal. I can't sense how powerful he is.'
'If he's the disciple of the Lost Heaven Master...' Ling Wuguo glanced at the Lost Heaven Sect's Master, finding the man leaning on the chair relaxedly.
What a relaxing position.
The Lost Heaven Master must be confident in his disciple's ability.
"Before we start... Does anyone have a question?" Yu Long uttered casually.
"How old are you, Junior?" One female guest asked curiously.
Upon hearing this question, every guest's ear perked up.
They stared at Yu Long and waited for his reply.
Yu Long smiled and replied honestly, "Twelve."
"..." Everyone.
"Hahaha, old age has affected my ears." Someone laughed helplessly.
"Twelve years old."
"Profound Veins only matured at the age of 14..."
"Good joke, junior. Good joke." The female guest giggled in amusement.
Yu Long shook his head gently and responded, "I'm telling the truth."
"I'm indeed 12 years old."
"My disciple would never lie." Lost Heaven Master suddenly said, causing the guest to shut their mouths.
Chill penetrated their spines as the invisible pressure was 'slightly' released by the purple-robed man on the highest seat.
Yu Long sighed helplessly, "There is a rare case when one's profound veins matured earlier. And I'm one of them."
"Then... If I may know, what's your current cultivation base?" Ling Wuguo asked this time.
"Hmm, showing it would be faster." Yu Long responded.
As everyone's eyes focused on Yu Long, they could finally sense his profound strength. It was pure and dense.
Crack!
Some people unconsciously shattered cups in their hands.
"P-Peak..."
"Earth Profound Realm..."
Watching the shocked expression, Yu Long laughed like a villain in his heart.
'Hehe, This is what I call hiding in plain sight.'
