117 Chapter 117 (1/2)

'Woah! This place is so amazing! It's like a return to the past but with a much grander atmosphere even beyond what i've already seen in the castle of Haran.'

Clark looked around and appreciated the epic show of carefully arranged furniture in the place.

There were a few scattered guards all over the area and these watchers took a uniformed shade of black which in turn painted their cultivator's robes with an intimidating dark light.

It was surprising to see that every sentinel in this inner sanctum all held a cultivation of Peak Stage Foundation Establishment Realm.

It could be gathered from this fact alone on how important this Assessment Pavilion really was unto the Demonic Sword Sect's Foundation.

He got from Wu Da's uninvited monologue earlier that this particular structure seemed to be the key of the Demonic Sword Sect's Formation and perhaps even provided a vital part in the totality of this entire space artifact's complex weave of mysteries.

Our good gamer of course did not believe that the Evil Boy has somehow completely refined this treasure. Far from that in fact.

'I highly doubt that a single piece of this weapon would stay above ground if that Evil Boy has already absolute command of this World Traveler Artifact.' Clark uttered his conclusions inside.

”Young Master Clark, the place that we are going to is called the Sword of Destiny.

This ancient artifact is used by the sect to determine a close prediction of our students' potential. You only need to...”

Outer Disciple Wu Da kept on blabbering on the side but our bored gamer only gave the middle aged man his peripheral attention at best.

As of this very moment, he was very much preoccupied with something else entirely.

'Would the spiritual abundance of the elements return in Nexus, Nancy?' Clark asked because he was concerned about the future prospects of the city and its people.

Those residents in the metropolis were basically a part of his own untapped troops already and it would be a waste if the cultivators growth in there would get stunted to a halt before they could truly hatch their wings and fly to the skies.

'Nexus was a good hub for practice before but it was unfortunate that I completely sucked all the energy from within one hundred and thirty square kilometers of the city.'

Clark shook his head in lament and he was only too thankful that nobody was killed because of his rashness and stupidity just earlier this morning.

”Affirmative, host. This world could hold trillions upon trillions of people and magical beasts alike. A little area like the City of Nexus would get refilled with substantial spiritual energy in no time.

The mortals won't feel any difference at all but the same could not be said to the cultivator clans living within its borders.” Nancy explained promptly.

'Yeah. It seems that i need to replace the formation array inside the city with something more effective.'

Clark knew that it was his fault that every Spirit Gathering Array in Nexus turned to dust in his mishap. He was of course very much willing to compensate them after his entrance in the sect.

'SIGH!'

'Should i wait for when i get another 1 million shop points before purchasing a Mythical Grade Defensive Formation in the city or should i spend it on myself instead?'

Clark mused some more as he was keen to balance the pros and cons of his actions.

'Nah... Nexus ain't going away and there's no danger also for those people right now.

I could just reinforce the same level of Spirit Gathering Array from before and they would never even see any cause of complaint afterwards.

Not like a beast tide or something of worse calamity is on their way towards the city right now also.'

Clark decided and wordlessly commanded one of his undead summons to cast the formation around the city of Nexus.

He chose the cheapest of them all because there was really no need for such a drastic upgrade on the city's defenses.

”Congratulations, host! You have purchased the Basic Turtle Defensive Formation.” Nancy's sweet voice rang in Clark's ears after his quick selection.

- 100 shop points

And the corresponding amount of shop points was also deducted accordingly thereafter.

'No worries. Tonight, i can have another million of these precious shop points and then i can finally choose one more Mythical item in the bag.'

Our bored gamer was thrilled for his next pick and it reflected very much on his face at the moment.

All the way, he sported a cheeky smile on his face which brought forth a lot of hopeful misunderstandings on some people around.

'I must be doing something good! It appears that Young Master Clark is very happy with my efforts!'

Outer Disciple Wu Da straightened his back after this conclusion and went to even greater exhaustive lengths to share whatever shred of knowledge he had unto the party behind him.

Ten minutes of slow walk later and the group arrived at a large archaic hall with little to no design.

At the center of this sparse chamber was a huge sword that floated against the pull of gravity.

There were nine horizontal lines along the weapon's body and it could be seen that a sporadic glare would time and time give a hint of the tones that were hidden behind its every partition.

Wu Da hushed everybody with a firm hand raised in warning before shouting loudly into the empty room.

”Greetings, Elder Tan Hai! I am Wu Da from the Outer Disciples Court and is here to bring new blood to our sect's prestigious name!”

Outer Disciple Wu Da bowed to knee level and motioned for the rest to follow his actions.
