Chapter 524: A Mystery? (1/2)

One month has passed since Raven had become an official 'Chosen of Zeus'.

Many things happened since then. Raven's cultivation had finally consolidated as well his strength. He also have more Avatars working for him now since he cultivated the Myriad Incarnations Scripture to 5th Level. This caused his research speed and his progress to become faster exponentially which effectively makes him stronger.

For the entirety of the month, Raven stayed within the pocket dimension. Once every three days, Kyrie would visit him and give him some books he can read in order to understand the Ancient Elysium Sect better. She would also discuss things with him in order to test his knowledge.

Sufficed to say, Kyrie's been satisfied with him. His memory isn't only sharp but he also has initiative. He gave her an impression of a scholar who's been starved from knowledge. Every knowledge she offered to him were absorbed in no time.

Additionally, Raven was hardworking to boot. He doesn't waste any time, it's as if he's a man possessed. He didn't even sleep at all. From her observations, her Young Lord was certainly getting more and more impressive each passing day.

Being a Chosen already confirms the fact that a person must be a Realm-Surpassing Genius, and since Raven is one, then she's not surprised. But as each day passed, she's starting to think that there's more to this Young Lord.

Whether this is due to him feeling pressured due to his competitors or something else entirely, only time can tell.

On another note, the ban that prevents outer disciples from patrolling the Devil's Cradle was extended by another month. The reasons were unknown but there's nothing that the outer disciples could do about it. Thankfully, there are some supplementary missions they could do in order to make sure they keep earning Merit Points.

The situation of the sect somehow turned weird but Raven was completely oblivious about it. He's pretty much isolated from everything ever since taking up this new responsibility.

So far, neither the Grand Elder or the Sect Master had issued a mission to him. Judging from his pace, Raven still has much to learn and he's planning on learning everything he could before charging to the fray.

Thanks to Kyrie's guidance, his knowledge about certain things fully expanded. Now he understood more things about the sect and specifically knows just what kind of responsibility he has to uphold. He also learned more about the history of the sect. Now he understood why this place was respected by billions of people all over the Divine Realm.

Raven also benefitting from his current status. Right now, he could freely visit any cultivation environment as he pleases. Field of Destruction, Cage of Spacetime. These are two that he focuses on the most since they resonated with his Destruction Laws and Spacetime Laws respectively.

However, something else entirely was occupying Raven's mind right now.

And that has something to do with what happened during the time he went to the Chalice Room.

”I'm so confused…”

Raven's expression revealed a very bothered one right now. He's currently alone inside his room and it's night time, nevertheless he was distracted and couldn't help but ponder about the sudden revelation that came unexpectedly.

'I don't recall anything like that Junior Brother. The badge I gave to you only leads you to the Chalice Rooms. Maybe you just received some form on enlightenment.' This was Henry's reply when Raven revealed what happened to him.

To say that Raven was dumbfounded was an understatement. He did not expect something like this at all. As it turns out, the vision he saw during the moment he stepped inside those large doors was entirely different from Henry's expectations. Even though Henry only alleged it to him just being fortunate and gaining enlightenment about something, Raven doesn't agree deep down.

How can that be possible? First of all, he had experienced multiple sudden enlightenments already, in fact he even found a way in order to get close to entering that state through the help of supplements.

Yes, his experience might be considered as a 'sudden enlightenment' but without a trigger, he wouldn't be able to enter it no matter how many supplements he consumed. This means that something acted as a medium or a trigger for him to enter that state.

It's not an illusion, that he knew. If it was, then how would he explain the numerous constellations present within his Inner World?

It was real. There's no mistaking it, but Henry doesn't seem to be lying either. Which means that either he truly doesn't know or he's good at lying. Either way, this situation really does bother him a lot.

”I really should stop thinking about this.” Raven grumbled. ”It already happened. Whether Senior Brother doesn't truly know or he just can't tell me, I can't do anything about it. Besides, I'm already benefitting from it anyway.”

The benefits he was referring to was the mysterious knowledge he's able to perceive by observing the constellations whenever he can.
