120 Chapter 120 (1/2)

”A-are you alright, Elder Tan Hai?” Outer Disciple Wu Da asked in a trembling voice on the side.

If he had not known any better, he would have jumped the first chance he got and helped the incapacitated Elder on his feet.

Luckily enough, the bitter years had taught Wu Da to know a golden rule about people in power. They were all of them obsessed about their perfect image and inviolable dignity.

He saw not a few dumb cultivators explode in bits and pieces after hearing these last words in their midst. Never shame the integrity of a master!

”...” Elder Tan Hai stood up by himself a moment later. He did not even have to speak something to know how deep his thoughts were in the present.

His eyes strayed for some precious breaths upwards and was relieved to see that the image of a Purple Throne has already left its last vestiges in the sky.

The unbreakable compulsion that squashed him and all other mortal cultivators originated from that Heavenly Omen.

And it was not that hard to conclude what this all meant for the boy and for the Demonic Sword Sect combined.

”What was that thing, Elder Tan Hai? I witnessed a purple throne above the heavens and then I was f...” Outer Disciple Wu Da started to speak his mind.

He was only taught that there were nine realms in cultivation.

If he knew at this time that there was one last realm to be had then there was no doubt that he would have looked at our bored gamer with an even burning fervor in his eyes.

”It was nothing, young one. A mere figment of what could be. But you best not speak of it again. Not to me or to any other soul ever. Do you understand me, Outer Disciple Wu Da?”

Elder Tan Hai's voice was as cold as the grave and the target of his words could not help the natural reaction of his body.

Wu Da took one step back and felt every single strand of hair on his body stood up in alarm.

”I-i hear and obey, Elder Tan Hai!” Wu Da bowed deeply and his head even reached below knee level in his haste and obvious horror.

The wizened Elder nodded and looked towards a boy in pink robes who was busy helping his women up and even exchanged some senseless banter amidst them.

'Not that it would help much at this point.'

Elder Tan Hai sighed and patiently awaited the child who had the potential to become someone who could control the direction of not only this continent but also the entire world someday.

A few breaths more and everyone finally assumed a sense of subdued tranquillity inside the halls.

Although the previous unnatural phenomena was quite shocking but that has all the more convinced each one of them that a boy with so much promise and future has come to walk amongst them.

Like a priceless diamond surrounded by a multitude of trash.
