Chapter 27 - Monarchs (1/2)
”I can't still believe of its existence, even though I'm already standing before it.”
”We share the same thoughts.”
Two figures stood amidst the darkness that engulfed them. They both emanated a very peaceful aura that seemed to carry the very symbol of calmness. However, a very tremendous power hid beneath their eyes, befitting an emperor that sat on their own thrones.
Despite their otherworldly demeanor that seemed to isolate them from ordinary people, they are lacking compared to the gigantic archaic gate that is situated before them. The gate emitted a very ancient aura that completely surpassed everything that these two figures had ever encountered.
”I still remember when the senior from that place came. Even the primitive aura that covered that senior's body is lacking before this gate.”
”In the end, what in the world is this gate? For it to suddenly materialize out of nowhere is suspicious…”
”It might be something that heavens had sent to help us.”
They both talked to themselves, feeling rather intrigued by the mysteriousness that covered the gate's origin. They still remembered how this gate just suddenly appeared in the middle of their territory.
Fortunately, the gate had appeared on the underground of the villa, hence it didn't cause that much chaos. It also helped them conceal its sudden appearance, which made things advantageous for them. In this way, they would be able to contact that place.
If someone saw these two figures acting like some bodyguards, they would be shocked speechless. After all, these two figures are the prominent grand elders of the Heavenly Sword Villa. They both possessed the cultivation prowess of a Throne that could annihilate a country region easily.
*Swoosh*
Air wasn't present at the least, yet a wind breeze just flew by these two figures. They both turned their head towards the direction of the wind, and saw a middle-aged man wearing a luxurious type of robe appear before them.
”Clan Head…”
The two figures slightly bowed their heads, showing their respect and loyalty towards the newcomer. The latter wasn't any ordinary figure either, as he is the current leader of the whole Heavenly Sword Villa.
Ling Tianni, the current villa master, who was said to be the most powerful individual within the Blue Wind Empire. Lightning sparks that contained destruction flickered across his eyes, emitting a rather dangerous vibe.
”Mm. The seniors from the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region will soon arrive, grand elders.”
”I see. For now, we'll guard this gate just in case something unexpected happens.”
”Thank you for your effort, grand elders.”
Ling Tianni, cupped both of his fists, conveying his gratitude towards the two figure. His face remained still and stoic the whole time. He then turned his body around, and instantly vanished from the two figures' sight.
”If they are coming, then this gate isn't ordinary at all.”
”Maybe something that completely surpasses our comprehension lies beyond that gate.”
They all stared at the gate before them, while trying to see through the gate. However, even with their all effort, they couldn't scrutinize anything from the gate at all. All they could sense is a desolate land filled with fog.
…
It has been more than a few hours, and Tatsuya was still sleeping within his bed. The Kokyu Cultivation Technique unceasingly utilized this moment, allowing Tatsuya to cultivate further. His cultivation stage had already reached 6th stage of the True Profound Realm.
If others saw his insane improvements, they would vomit blood. After all, breaking through is not an easy feat for everybody, and breaking through to another stage while sleeping is a completely different matter.
His roommate whom he hadn't even once interacted with, had already began practicing somewhere within the villa, leaving Tatsuya alone within the dormitory room. The formation diagram that Tatsuya had planted within the room, still shone at its full glory.
To avoid the exposure of the formation diagram, Tatsuya added another formation diagram on the top of the base diagram. It is a diagram that would fool others' mind, making their own senses unaware of the formation diagram.
It seemed rather easy, but it's actually very difficult. The mere fact that Tatsuya had added the diagram that could fool others had increased the difficulty into another level.
Usually, one would make the formation diagram invisible from others' sight, but Tatsuya already foresaw that it wouldn't work. Cultivators have keen senses, making them the nemesis of illusions. Their hearts have been honed to the point that they instantly see through some weak illusions.
And, Tatsuya wasn't that skilled at Formation Mastery at the moment, that he could completely make the formation diagram invisible from the cultivators that possess the cultivation of Sky Profound Realm and up.
*Thud*
Suddenly, Tatsuya's eyelids completely opened, as he stood up completely, resembling a spear that won't back down against anything. Currently, his innate ability, Elemental Sight, had detected some presence that carried power beyond his current grasp.
(Why are there suddenly multiple presences within the gate?)
