176 Hidden Dragon Obelisk (1/2)

Tsuji looked at Ryuu incredulously as she spoke sarcastically, ”Yeah and I am 2 year old, and the joke of yours is tasteless.”

Katsumi: ”Why did you shout sister?”

Tsuji: ”What are doing here sister I thought you would be with our dear brother and as for me shouting it was because Ryuu is making a bad joke stating he is only 15.”

Katsumi rolled her eyes as she spoke, ”I felt as if I was a third wheel between them as such I left to join you, and you are right fellow daoist brother it is not nice to lie about your age and here I thought people accused us woman of being trying to hide our age.”

Ryuu literally pouted at that as he spoke, ”I am telling you I am 15 years only, if only I could prove to you.”

Yura: ”We could use the 'Hidden Dragon' obelisk to taste Ryuu's claim.”

Tsuji: ”Hmmm it would work well then let us take a small detour.”

Ryuu looked confused at that as he asked them, ”What is this 'Hidden Dragon' obelisk thing?”

Tsuji spoke with a smile, ”When my ancestor founded our empire, he first started with a small village this very city rests on the ground where the ancient village of Habakar was once present. One day an obelisk fell from the sky and landed near the village, which is currently the center of our city, we do not know how or who created the obelisk but it has strange powers as it seemed to record the cultivation level, age and name of a person, but it is some limitations such as it is firstly only able to hold a hundred names whenever someone better touches it the person whose name is at the lowest is removed another limitation is that it only records the name of a person who is below 45 years of age.”

Ryuu was now intrigued at that as he spoke, ”Cool then let us go there will the students from your school participate as well Senior Yura.”

Yura: ”We were planning to as well at the end of our trip but if we are visiting there why not.”

They soon reached the tall grey colored obelisk which seemed to have nothing special except names of people written on them.

Ryuu looked at that with interest he could not identify the material used to make the obelisk, 'interesting may be if I move close I might be able to identify the material but if not because of lack of knowledge about various materials I could ask my teacher about it later on.'

It looked like a carnival as a large number of people were present from various walks of life trying their luck on the obelisk a long queue had been formed in front of it as the guards managed the line a fee of 10 low tier spirit stone was required for anyone who were hopeful about putting their name of the obelisk, but unfortunately so far none succeeded even after that everyone just wanted to touch it as a joke.

Ryuu mumbled under his breath, ”People have too much free time and money.”

Katsumi who was nearest to him just snorted at that.

Yura: ”Girls form a line here and Ryuu where do you want to stand?”

Ryuu: ”I am well off near the back.”

As the queue moved forward only a single person was able to have his name imprinted on the obelisk only to have it erased soon after as all of a sudden a group made their name on the obelisk replacing many previous name holders.”

Tsuji just grumbled in frustration causing Ryuu to take a glance at her as he asked, ”Is something wrong senior?”

Tsuji sighed in exasperation as she spoke, ”Well nothing my sister's name fell to the 15th position. Ryuu do you see that name up there.”, Tsuji pointed to a name at the top of the list Nobuyoshi, ”That name is my great great grandfather it has been more than a few thousand of years since his name took the first position no one has been able to dethrone him, when he reached a very high realm he just left with his wife since then no one knows where he went.”

Ryuu looked at the name which was at the very top, ”Nobuyoshi 42yrs. 4th rank Primal Daoist, glowing in gold.”

”Ah Yura how have you been?”, came a suave voice as man walked towards her dressed in expensive looking clothes.

Yura groaned as she spoke in a tired voice, ”What do you want Dong Bao?”

The person named Dong Bao smirked as he spoke, ”Why so cold Yura I just came here to say hello to you nothing more.”

Yura: ”Since you have done so now leave.”

Dong Bao gave a sly smile as he spoke, ”My you all girls from 'Golden Immortal Fairy' school are such cold hearted.”

Suddenly there was huge commotion amongst people as the obelisk gave released a small chime, ”Look look the second name on the list has changed, 'Dong Guo, 40yrs., 9th rank Wanxiang adept'.”
