467 Arrival (1/2)

”Everyone, come to the Reception Area. We will arrive at the sect within an hour.”

Raven who was relaxing within his private room while counting fake stars, heard this words and immediately stood up. He went ahead and summoned the exit to go outside and meet the other disciples.

Upon reaching the reception area, he saw that some people were already there. They were probably outside of their respective rooms when they heard the announcement which allowed them to arrive here earlier than the rest.

Everyone, including Raven was looking outside. Most of them were trying to get a good look of their surroundings in order to catch glimpse of the fabled Ancient Elysium Sect. Unfortunately, they found out that they were still travelling on the Outer Space and could only see a boundless blanket of darkness with occasional sparkles of stars here and there.

Henry was nowhere to be found yet even though all twelve of them were already in the reception area. But just like the rest, Raven was also looking forward on arriving at the sect.

Although Henry gave them some introductory materials for the sect, none of those actually depicted what the sect actually looks like. In fact, most of the people that knows about the sect only knew it by name and not its appearance.

”Man, oh man! This is so exciting.” Jason mumbled somewhere near Raven as he looked outside. He was like an excited kid on a field trip, his eyes were even gleaming due to excitement. ”We're almost there! I can't wait any longer.”

Even though Raven remained silent, he could somehow share the same sentiments as Jason. Finally, in less than an hour from now, he'll be able to laid eyes on the sect that has been hearing so much about during these past year.

Arriving at the Ancient Elysium Sect is considered as the starting line for him. While his wife and friends were already received by their respective sects, Raven was the only one who started from the ground up. To put it simply, he was already late by a year compared to them. Although one year isn't really short, the amount of innate talent his wife and friends has, might cause him to be left behind. Specially considering the fact that the sect they entered aren't nowhere less popular as the Ancient Elysium Sect.

Now however, he finally reached the starting line. Now he'll have the chance to catch up to them.

Minutes passed by like a blur and only a few minutes were left before their arrival. However, some of the disciples were getting skeptical. Although Henry said that they were nearly there, none of them saw the war ship near any stars or landmass. Its still travelling in the Outer Space and is nowhere near in any possible location of a sect. Still, they waited until the moment and for Henry to arrive.

”Alright, everyone. We're here.” Henry's voice echoed once more, causing the disciples to widen their eyes.

To their surprise, the ship was actually travelling through a spatial wormhole! This caused Raven's eyes to gleam and understand many things.

”Of course! How can I forget about it!?” Raven quietly exclaimed to himself. ”The Ancient Elysium Sect is a reclusive sect! It would make sense for it to not be visible for everyone.”

His words were heard by a few people, causing them their eyes to gleam in understanding as well.

The scenery outside changed, and to their surprise, there was an enormous landmass stretching as high as the skies themselves. The disciples were stunned speechless by this scene. Some of them were even murmuring to themselves.

”Is that where the sect is built? Where are we even?”

”I don't know. It seems that we are inside some sort of a pocket dimension.”

”Are you kidding me? A pocket dimension? Isn't this place too big for that?”

”Well, it is kind of a pocket dimension. According to my elders, this should be an evolution of that concept. It's called 'World Genesis', a feat that only Space Laws experts could achieve.”

”Amazing! A world within a world! What a feat!”

”I'm more curious about that thing over there! That cliff is massive, don't you guys think so too? Heck, half of it even reaches beyond the clouds!”

Everyone then heard footsteps behind them, causing them to be alarmed and turn around. They soon found out that it the source of those were Henry and the two Elders.

”I'm glad that you noticed that, but to correct you, that is not a cliff. It is a mountain.” Henry smiled as he corrected.

Many eyes widened as soon as they heard him saying that.

”Heck! A mountain!? That tall?” Juniper exclaimed in sheer shock.

Henry chuckled and said: ”Yes, it is a mountain. To be more specific, that is the base of the mountain.”
