Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao



================¶¶================

'With this, you would be the mightiest of all your predecessors,' said a voice in Zaith's head.

'I have always wondered, why did it only appear now? Why did my predecessors only speak of it and had never seen it?' Saith asked the voice.

The voice went silent for a while before responding, 'I will tell you of these matters in due time. You should know that there is also a reason why you are the only one since the beginning of your clan that is able to connect with Mr like this. All I can say is, grow stronger as fast as you can.'

The voice spoke no longer no matter how much Zaith urged it.

Their discussion only took an instant since they communicated their thoughts, so there was no change that was noticeable on Zaith's face.

"Now that you have the artifact you only need to get its counterpart that has been lost in the Heavenly Sword Secret Realm," said the elder.

Zaith nodded and returned the artifact to his spatial ring. He can not bind it to himself at this point because it is incomplete.

His ancestors lost the weaker part of the artifact in this location many years ago, but they also did not know that the other half of the artifact that they had longed for was here also all along.

Zaith would be the first to have the real deal in his possession, but first, he has to enter the Heavenly Sword Secret Realm.

"The secret realm is only opened to the Elite Disciples and Core Disciples, along with the top ten inner disciples. Do I have to take one of those ten spots?" Zaith asked.

The older shook his head at Zaith's question, "No, young master, since you have me you do not need to go through that process."

"All great elders have a quota that is assigned to them and they can give it to anyone they like. I will announce you as my personal disciple and you will be able to train in my residence."

"So when the time comes, you will go into the secret realm with the other disciples. But you also need to increase your strength as the possibility of getting into conflict with the stronger disciples is high."

"I understand," Zaith nodded.

His strength has increased greater than he expected but he knew that he would not be a match for the strongest disciples if he did not use his clan's secret technique.

But doing that will expose his origins which would not be good for him and his clan. And as the scion of the Asura clan, he has a responsibility upon his shoulders that he can not ignore.

'Wait, someone already knows my origin,' he just now recalled that Invincible had known about his true identity from the first day they met.

He didn't know what came over him when he spoke his full name to Arthur as that was not among the plan.

But he also thought it would be okay since there is probably no one who should know of his clan's existence in this place.

It is only when he uses his technique that a certain group will find out that he is here.

"Good, let's leave," the elder waved his hand and an aura carried Zaith into the sky, flying with him to the mountain that is his personal abode.

...

Back to Arthur...

"So all your time with us was just an act and you were only here to run errands for those guys?" Luke spoke with cold eyes on Evelyn.

Evelyn had her head down. She was feeling great guilt as she had grown attached to this group of people.

'But I had no choice!' She said in her heart, holding back herself from trying to play victim even if she was.

"What? You are not going say anything?!" Luke raised his voice.

"I..." Evelyn found the words she wanted to speak stuck in her throat.

What should she say?

That she is sorry?

What good would that do?

So Evelyn kept her silence. Even though her deal with those bastards has been fulfilled, she could not say anything about it.

If she did, then all she was trying to save will be lost.

"You-" Luke still wanted to say something but a signal from Arthur stopped him.

He knew what he had to do.

"From now on, you are no longer a member of this faction, and...you are no longer my friend," Luke said those words with gritted teeth.

Due to some events of the past, Luke was disgusted with traitors the most. And now to find that someone he saw as a friend betrayed his trust.

'Just like before!'

'I can't believe I even wanted her to get into my master's heart due to our talk back then.'

Evelyn trembled when she heard his words and without raising her head, she used her movement technique and left with great speed without bothering about the direction.

Although Luke felt that things might be more than they seemed, he was too angry to care.

"And you ungrateful bastards, leave now."

The four who kneeled at that time wasted no time and scurried away too. They felt ashamed but they also felt a bit of anger for being dismissed like that.

Due to that, one of them left a comment after getting far away.

"You guys will never win against The Blood Sword Faction!"

Sun Wukong was incensed at that and wanted to chase after them, "Those little-"

"Leave them. They are just a bunch of no-names."

Luke then looked at the others.

"You have seen how much we have grown under Invincible. Those that stand with this faction will all receive benefits as you have the faction's best interest at heart."

"And believe me when I say our rise is not far even though we are weaker compared to the others. After this Outer Court Ranking, you will know."

After a bit of talk, they all returned to the sect, leaving the unconscious Blood Sword Faction members there.

Although they would be in danger of beast attacks, Luke and the others could not care less.

The next Outer Court Ranking Battles are just around the corner, and Arthur has a plan.

But at the same time, a piece of news was spread in the sect.

"Senior Crixus is out of seclusion and has challenged an elder!"
