Chapter 91 - The Divine Path Sect Arrives (1/2)

It had been a month since the start of Shields forging, today, Marcus had forged the thirtieth one, there was only another seven to go, Krune, of course, was there with Marcus to forge his own Divine Imprints, he couldn't help but be impressed with Marcus' skills, every single shield connected with each other perfectly, but that made some sense, he is a Five Stars Blacksmith after all, only beneath the Hall Master himself who is at the Six Stars.

Marcus started the forging process of the next one while Krune was sat by the side, suddenly, Krune opened his eyes, and a blast of Spiritual Energy filled the room where they are staying, Marcus was a little surprised by that, it was obvious that Krune had achieved a breakthrough.

That was right, Krune had finally entered the 8th stage of the Foundation Establishment, he could have done it a few hours earlier, but he was waiting for Marcus to start a new forging process, like that, he knew that Marcus wouldn't need his Divine Imprint for the next few hours, that was enough time to stabilize the chaotic spiritual energy inside his foundation before the next one needed to be forged.

After this breakthrough, Krune's Divine Sense and soul power increased once again, he brought out the already forged thirty Hexagonal Shields and poured his Spiritual Energy inside, according to Krune's specification, the shields were made so that they could accept any kind of element and not just spiritual energy, just like Lina's weapons back in the mercenary selection where they could be used with fire and lightning.

He then released the shields and used his Divine Sense to control them, they started to float around while slowly spinning, Krune then tried to make a few different formations with them, but it turned out to be harder than he thought, Marcus wasn't kidding before when he said that too much flying shields would put a lot of burden on the soul, and there was still another eight shields incoming.

'Seems like I will need to practice for a while, although I have enough soul power to control them with Divine Sense, it still is hard to precisely use them together, no wonder cultivators at my levels don't like to use too many flying weapons at the same time.'

Krune sighed and then put his shields back into his spatial ring, without having all thirty-eight together, there is no point in practicing now, it will only make him feel weird when more shields suddenly appear in the situation.

In the Makui Continent, several elders, sect leaders, kingdoms representatives, guild heads and other organizations people from all powers in the world were gathered, this is the gathering to receive the representative of the Divine Path Sect who would be overseeing the Martial Gathering this time around, suddenly, a boom could be heard coming from the sky, everyone's eyes lit up when they saw that, it was the sound of a spaceship when it entered the atmosphere, the spaceship was azure like and bigger than any spaceship owned by the people in the Makui Planet, on its side one could the see the heavens symbol emblem of the Divine Path Sect.

This spaceship would also be the one to take the ten Foundation Establishment winners and the Core Formation Realm competitors that are under 40 years old to the Divine Path Sect entrance exam.

The ship approached the city where everyone was waiting and not long after, it stopped right above it, the ship was so big that it could cover one-tenth of the entire city, this is also a way of showing the Divine Path Sect's power in their own territory, the comports of the ship opened and three people could be seen coming down, an elder and two Core Formation youngsters, judging by their appearance, they are obviously under 40 years old as well, even before they arrived on the ground, the people there could already hear the young man complaining.

”Elder, why do I have to come to this place? There is nothing worth spending my time here anyway, this planet hadn't had a successful contestant entering the Divine Path Sect in ages, we could simply ignore them and say that we didn't find anyone worthy of taking notice.”

The young man didn't hide his words at all, the disdain in his eyes was apparent for everyone to see, but he was obviously a member of the Divine Path Sect, so even the Soul Forging Realm cultivators of the Makui Planet couldn't retort.

The Elder heard that and his face darkened.

”Shut up! If our Divine Path Sect starts to neglect the cultivators in our own territory as you say, it won't take long before our Sect's power starts to diminish.”

The other youngster was a woman around the same age as the man.

”Elder is right, I've told you hundreds of times, you never know where a real talent might appear, it's our duty to make sure that the talents of our territory are properly taken care of, this attitude of yours would just send the sect to its ruins.”

The young man snorted and didn't say anything else, but it was extremely obvious that he wasn't convinced by the words of the elder and his martial sister.

They arrived on the ground and were greeted by Kaio Gleem, he was the overall representative selected by vote to speak on the behalf of the powers of the Makui Planet, and also the leader of the Divine Swords Sect, one of the strongest powers of the world at the moment.

”Welcome, my name is Kaio Gleem, we have been waiting for your arrival, Divine Path Sect Elder.”

He then asked.

”May I ask this esteemed elder's name?”

The elder nodded in approval.

”My name is Loni Ravser, an outer sect elder, there is no need to be so polite, it's our duty to oversee all competitions of the planets in our territory, don't mind this idiotic disciple of mine, he is young and hasn't properly seen the universe yet.”

Everyone heard that and secretly let out a sigh of relief, it seems like this time they got an easy-going elder, there have been several times where the Divine Path Sect representative was someone hard to deal with, they have got quite a few representatives that were just like the young man beside the elder as well.

”Elder is too polite, we have gathered all the powers that will have a cultivator participating in the Martial Gathering and are ready to take the elder Loni's orders.”

In fact, the Martial Gathering contents were never decided by the planet itself, but by the representative of the Divine Path Sect, that was also the reason that no power would ever fail in sending someone to hear the contents, the earlier they know about it, the better is the chances of their own contestants during the gathering, from the Yule Continent Mercenary Guild Side, none other than Bary Casfiu came to check things out.

Loni then asked.
