Chapter 2103 - First Arrival at Holy (1/2)
“The Pool of Rebirth doesn’t just reset your body. The powers of rebirth have a unique way of speeding up your leveling. The leader must think your geno art is ascending too slowly, since you are still only a Marquise. Hence, he has presented you with this opportunity to make use of Holy Heaven’s Pool of Rebirth. Our contract with the Feathers allows us to send three people of our choosing to use the Pool of Rebirth every ten years. You are one of those selected. The leader takes you as someone quite important,” Thousand Feather Crane said, his voice filled with admiration.
“In that case, I will go to Holy Heaven.” Upon hearing that the trip would benefit him, Han Sen did not hesitate. He agreed to become an envoy and travel to Holy Heaven.
Given the precarious situation that the Feathers had found themselves in, they could not risk offending Sky Palace and bringing harm to Han Sen, either. The worse they could do was mocking him.
Since he was gaining access to a valuable resource, though, Han Sen was willing to turn a blind eye to their bad behavior.
“When you return from the Feather, it will be time for the Geno Being Scroll to appear. Will you be entering that competition? You could be the first Earl, easy.” After the question, Thousand Feather Crane smiled.
Han Sen had two geno arts that were Marquise already, and winning the competition would put him atop the list of all Marquises in the universe. It would also highlight the fact he had more than one geno art.
“I am not interested in boosting my reputation.” Han Sen shook his head.
Han Sen wasn’t the only person going to Holy Heaven as an envoy. A few others, including an elder, were going with him. The others would hold meetings with the Feathers to discuss prolonged co-operation between the two races. Han Sen had no objective beyond making use of the pool.
Han Sen followed the group to Holy Heaven. The leader was the tenth elder, Yun Changkong. Han Sen felt safe in his company; he had a good relationship with the man’s daughters and students. If something was to happen, he was certain Yun Changkong would protect him.
The people of Sky Palace treated Han Sen nicely, in part due to his great reputation there. He had done many great deeds in service of Sky Palace, so they all liked him. Many gushed compliments.
They arrived in Feather territory safely. Before they went to Holy Heaven, though, a King of the Feathers welcomed them.
At this point, the Feathers depended on their relationship with Sky Palace for survival. Sky Palace’s protection was the only thing keeping the other high races from attacking them, so they took their commitment to Sky Palace seriously.
When the Feather King looked at Han Sen, however, his expression was filled with distaste. Han Sen couldn’t tell if it was due to the events with Kong Fei or the Blood Feather Knife. When Han Sen entered Holy Heaven, all the Feathers treated him strangely, as well. They were friendly with the other envoys, but they looked at Han Sen with distaste.
Han Sen pretended it was nothing.
When the Feathers learned Han Sen was going to make use of the Pool of Rebirth, though, they went from being annoyed to being terribly upset.
After Ring Feather King showed them the pool, he said, “The Pool of Rebirth it shut down for maintenance, so you’ll have to wait a few days to use it. It will be available to you as soon as it opens again.”
Han Sen resigned himself to staying in Holy Heaven for a while. Luckily, he was an envoy, so nothing awry transpired.
In a meeting room in Holy Heaven, many Feather alphas and high level Feathers were talking.
“The Pool of Rebirth is the holiest relic of the Feathers. How can we allow it to be defiled by Han Sen?” a Feather elder growled.
