Chapter 582: A Clear Path
Zeras turned to look at the last and most important law at the end of the law scrolls. The rule that sealed everything, and it went as such:
“Outer sect disciples are forbidden in every way from disrespecting or irking the inner sect. Every order of the Inner sect disciple must be immediately listened to by the outer sect, placing its weight above everything else except the sect’s rules…”
That basically sealed the fate of outer sect disciples as slaves to the Inner sect, having to listen and obey to every one of their whims, and placing their words above all of their own wishes. But who was he to complain about the sect’s rules that had been there for all eternity? The best thing to do would be to keep his head and face away from the radar of the inner sect disciples.
“Now that I know the sect’s rules like the back of my right hand, I feel more able to breathe well in this tight place,” Khan said as he dropped the law scroll in his hands and safely kept it back within his storage ring, where it could be easily pulled out for him to use to defend himself.
“Now, I’m necessitated by the rules to approach Kenji three days from now and retrieve my duty list from him. I’ll do that two days from now. That gives me two days for free…” Zeras calculated as he looked at the two bronze cards on the bed, and the silver card, which was the special one that Kenji had specially given to him.
“An access to the Martial God Hall?” Zeras said to himself, as his eyes flashed and deep thoughts flashed in his head.
“Now that I have lost all my genes and embrace the path of Astral Cultivation, I raise my stars. What I need is very simple—the energies from the stars!” Zeras determined. Based on the years that he had spent during his event of obtaining the power of the All, he knew well it was because of his soul having been among the energy of the stars that had allowed remnants of the stars to also appear in his soul.
If he wanted to grow his stars, then he had to absorb pure Astral energy. That was also why he had chosen the tallest mountain available in the outer sect, so he could be even higher into the sky and properly cultivate with close distance.
“Now, I need a cultivation manual that enables me to speed up the ability to absorb Astral energy…” Zeras determined as he turned to look at the remaining bronze card and the silver card.
“Now that I have lost all my abilities and also lost the system, I have basically lost any skills that I had. I will have to start practicing Battle Arts like others too…” Zeras determined.
He had always seen the ways his opponents used different art styles, but Zeras had not paid much attention to those arts because he was almost better without them.
He had an almost countless plethora of abilities, so he never saw any sense in sitting down and learning arts one by one, when he had hundreds of different abilities that he could instantly use, as smoothly as his right hands.
But now that he had lost them, he needed the battle arts that help to bolster the attack power of one’s attributes.
“I’ll choose an Astral Cultivation Manual, one with higher grade using the silver card. Then I’ll use the remaining two bronze cards to choose battle arts…” Zeras determined to himself as he kept the three cards back into his spatial ring.
Then he took the last thing on the bed, which was none other than the map, and immediately he looked across it, quickly discovering the location of the Martial God Hall. He hid the map away too, before rising up from the bed, and moving towards the exit, with Fluffy taking its rightful place on his shoulder.
Exerting strength, Zeras shut his heavenly glass door open, before quickly running into the distance. It had been mere minutes since he had lost everything, but now, he had a plan for himself, and his path to something beyond his former self had been clearly highlighted, and that too, by himself.
—
THE MARTIAL GOD HALL!!!
One of the rarest structures in the Ten Thousand Transformations Sect, where all the secret and ancient arts of the Ten Thousand Transformations Sect are hidden, allowing only the disciples of the sect, with a card that allows them to pick up the arts.
Besides, it was also one of the rarest places where the outer sect disciples, inner sect disciples, and very rarely, the core disciples, get to walk into the same gate together.
This, Zeras could confirm as he arrived around 100 meters away from the towering structure, whose top reached into the clouds itself. Instead of being a mountain, it was actually like Grand Elder Celestine’s ice palace, made completely of ice, and about three times larger than her own palace.
At the large arch door of the Martial God Hall, different Ten Thousand Transformations Sect disciples could be seen walking in and out. Even though they were all wearing the same uniform, the inner sect and outer sect disciples could be easily differentiated.
Firstly, based on the type of material used to make the cloth, with the inner sect uniform being around three times lighter compared to the outer sect disciples and also with the single star present in the inner sect disciples’ uniform, compared to the outer sect disciples who had no stars at all.
“Huuuuuu, hang tight on my shoulders, Fluffy. We’ll be in and out before you can wince your nose…” Zeras said with a smile as he bopped the tiny cat’s nose, which winced more than three times. With a calm expression, he walked forward with not much haste, following behind the students entering the large arch gate.
