407 Ancient Elysium Sec (2/2)
Unlike Luna and the rest, no one contacted him nor received him after he got the badge, leaving him on his devices to search for the sect and presumably join them using it.
After a round of silence, Raul calmed down and rested his back on the seat. He then smiled at Raven and said: ”Hide the badge for now. In the future, don't recklessly take it out otherwise, it will pose great dangers to you.”
Raven was surprised, he then absorbed the badge and hid inside his inner world since Raul's warning was a bit alarming.
Raul was momentarily dazed for a bit, as if he was in the middle of remembering somethings that happened on his life. He shook his head and a wry smile appeared on his face. His attention returned back to Raven as he said:
”I don't even know if I should say that you're lucky or unlucky because of that.” Raul chuckled. ”To think that you've been qualified to join the Ancient Elysium Sect, despite being in the lower realms.”
Raul shook his head, leaving Raven a bit stunned. ”Ancient?”
”Yes. Ancient.” Raul nodded, ”The Old Elysium Sect's actual name is the Ancient Elysium Sect, well not that it makes much of a difference really.”
”Then, Uncle should know how to go there right?” Raven probed.
Raul laughed and said: ”Yes. Well, it's more accurate to say that I've tried to join the Ancient Elysium Sect at least five times but failed.”
”What?” Raven and Albert blurted out at the same time.
Their reactions caused Raul to laugh mirthlessly once more as he said: ”Yeah, you heard it right. This old man right here, tried to join them at least five times yet failed to do so. Don't get me wrong, I'm not resentful about this, in fact I am quite fond of this memory.”
”How can that be?” Albert frowned, ”Are they that strict in their requirements?”
”Well, 'strictness' can be implied in many ways. It's more accurate to say that I merely don't have the qualifications to join them.” Raul replied.
”Hmph, their loss then.” Albert snorted, feeling quite displeased.
”You child…” Raul shook his head, ”I remember telling you that there's a sky beyond the sky. You really won't understand it unless you tried to join before.”
”In front of the Ancient Elysium Sect, our Martial Emperor Sect is nothing but a mere ant. Should they ever send an Envoy here with malicious intensions, then that person alone could erase the entire Blue Marble Planet by himself.”
Raul casual statement left the two reeling in shock. Both of them could tell that Raul wasn't lying to them, and there's practically no reason for him to do so. Still that can't change the fact that the Ancient Elysium Sect was just that powerful.
This time, Raul then focused at Raven and said: ”I don't need to ask whether you plan to join them or not since I could already tell your answer.”
Indeed, Raven didn't need to say much. Just from the blazing fighting spirit he's emitting, anyone could immediately tell the answer.
”Unfortunately, the current you is not enough.” Raul shook his head, causing Raven's excitement to dim down. ”That's not to say that you don't have any chance. You still have less than a year before the next requirement occurs. It's best if you strengthen yourself as much as possible before the recruitment day arrives. Of course, when time comes, I'll personally bring you there. Whether you succeed or not, that will depend on your abilities.”
”Thank young Uncle. I'll work hard to not disappoint you.” Raven answered, his mind was already forming some training plans for the whole year in order to maximize the result of his training.
”Of course, feel free to ask for any resources you need. It would be best if, upon your breakthrough to the Champion Realm, you would condense a Perfected Immortal Champion's Physique since that's the minimum requirement to be admitted to the sect.”
As soon as Raul said this, Raven and Albert could only look at each other in dismay.
