In the vast mountain range, a team of carriage from the Cyan Sect was winding forward. Both Austin and Tessa were on horses, following the carriage team.
"Austin, | envy you so much. The Spirits Purification Pool is a place that all the disciples of our sect dream to enter. | never expected that an outer disciple like you would have gotten such an opportunity," Tessa uttered, looking at Austin.
Tessa was very much disposed towards him, so although she was jealous that he was given such a chance, she was happy for him too.
"Ha-ha! I'm such a lucky dog! But if you want, | can pass this opportunity to you. | have no problem with that." Austin offered, and a genuine smile flashed on his face.
"Forget it. You deserve it because you are a competent man. I'm not going to take that chance away from you.
Austin, since your combat skills are already superb, if you soak in the Spirits Purification Pool for stime, your power and strength will improve significantly. | can't imagine how more powerful you will be then." Tessa gazed at Austin's face with admiration. She wondered how he had reached a high cultivation level at such a young age.
"Austin, you're so excellent. If I'm a little younger, | might have been charmed by you," Tessa joked.
"You're not old at all," Austin answered half-jokingly.
Tessa's cheeks turned pinkish red upon hearing his remarks.
"Tessa, is the Holy Daughter influential in the Cyan Sect? | am hoping. Otherwise, | chere for nothing." Austin asked as the question suddenly occurred to him.
"Uhmm...
Although the Holy Daughter is young, she is very much respected in our sect.
If the Sect Leader or the elders don't object, whatever she says, counts." Tessa was quite taken aback by Austin's question, but she immediately answered after thinking for a short while.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"That means if the Sect Leader or the elders don't agree, | will not be given a chance to enter the Spirits Purification Pool?" A complex expression flashed on Austin's face.
"Austin, don't overthink. You were able to make a great contribution to our sect when you safely escorted the Holy Daughter back. | think the Sect Leader and the elders won't prohibit you from entering the Spirits Purification Pool," Tessa explained, trying to comfort him.
"I hope so.
Otherwise... Hmph! I'm not that gullible. If they don't agree, | will break in the Spirits Purification Pool no matter how!" Austin exclaimed in a viciously determined tone.
Tessa was shocked at his sudden stubbornness. She immediately said, "Austin, don't think that way.
Our Cyan Sect is a prominent sect which ranks first or second in the Elite Holy Kingdom. Even in the whole South Continent, it is very influential.
| know you're strong. However, the Sky Realm is not the highest cultivation level in our sect, and soutstanding disciples can easily reach this realm. They might overpower you.
The steward of our sect with the lowest cultivation base has already reached the preliminary stage of the Imperial Realm, and most of our elders have reached the Master Realm.
Besides, it's said that our Sect Leader has already reached the Astral Realm.
To be frank, it is not a good idea to provoke the Cyan Sect." Tessa earnestly persuaded Austin, worried that he would do something impulsive. She had been treating him as her younger brother, so she didn't want him to ruin his future for being stubborn and reckless.
After Austin met Angus and the FlEmperor, he had learned that after the Sky Realm, there were still higher levels of cultivation: Imperial Realm, Master Realm, and Astral Realm etc. respectively.
So upon hearing what Tessa had explained, he couldn't help but gasp. He hadn't expected the Cyan Sect to be so powerful and influential.
'The ordinary disciples of Cyan Sect are already at the Sky Realm. Even the worst steward has already reached the preliminary stage of the Imperial Realm, and most elders have reached the Master Realm. What's more, the Sect Leader might already be at the Astral Realm! God! How powerful this sect is!" Austin thought with a sigh.
When Austin was in Sun Sect, even the most powerful cultivator--Theon, the Sect Leader--had only been at the premium stage of the Mysterious Realm. He was no match to the powerful disciples of the Cyan Sect, let alone to the high-rank leaders of Cyan Sect.
In other words, Sun Sect was just like an ant compared to a dragon that was the Cyan Sect. The two sects were evidently worlds apart in power! The Cyan Sect could easily destroy a hundred or maybe a thousand sects like the Sun Sect.
Austin was at the medium stage of the Sky Realm, but his admirable competence had surpassed many cultivators who were at the premium stage of the srealm. It could be said that none of the Sky Realm cultivators was a match for him.
Even so, in the face of the Cyan Sect, he was a minute person, who--although considerably strong--did not pose any danger at all.
With his current power and strength, it was true that Austin couldn't afford to offend the Cyan Sect.
After Tessa had told him about the capability of the Cyan Sect, Austin was acutely aware of the danger he might encounter if he ever tried to mess with them.
"Ha-ha! Tessa, maybe | have overthought. Such influential sect like the Cyan Sect is unlikely to break its words. It won't be that bad." Austin didn't want to talk about the topic anymore, so he tried to dismiss it.
But he was a type of person who would never give in to others. If the leaders of the Cyan Sect agreed to let him enter the Spirits Purification Pool, that would be fine.
Although he currently wasn't capable enough of standing up to them, he had already settled to teach them a good lesson in the future if anything else went wrong.
Tessa was a little worried as she saw Austin's face darkened. She only shook her head slightly since she recognized that there was nothing she could do.
‘Austin, you better not do anything to offend the Cyan Sect. Otherwise, | can't help you, ' she thought to herself. ...
In a luxurious and well-decorated carriage rode Sissi and an old woman.
Both were occupied talking about Austin and the Spirits Purification Pool.
"Miss Ling, are you serious about letting the young man enter the Spirits Purification Pool?" the old woman asked.
"Don't talk about it anymore.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe five stewards who are responsible for escortinghave left us to distract the enemies, and their whereabouts are unknown now.
Do you think we have any other choice except for depending on this young man?" Sissi queried back.
"Yes. That's true.
But | wonder whether our Sect Leader and the elders will agree or not.
The disciples who will enter the Spirits Purification Pool were set a long tago.
There are three disciples in total. One is the nephew of our Sect Leader, the other two are the personal disciples of the Chief Elder.
I'm afraid..." the old woman spoke with hesitation.
"Con! Stop talking about that. Let's wait until we get back to the sect.
Sissi shut her eyes and did not want to say more.
"Got it, Miss Ling," the old woman said immediately.
She recognized that the topic had already cto rest.
The carriage team moved forward along the mountain paths.
"The mountain is too big, and the topography is too complex. At our current speed, it might take a month for us to cross it," Tessa informed Austin.
She was familiar with the complex structure of the mountain range.
"Ha-ha! It doesn't matter. I'm not in a hurry," Austin answered with a smile.
