Death... and me

Chapter 2968: The Next Sect Master

A few tens of kilometers away, Roan's expression changed as he looked in Rean's direction. Obviously, he also saw everything that just happened inside the World Splitting Sect airship. 'What was that? Sword Intent? It felt like it, but it was different...'

Rean was just as shocked. 'How would I know? It felt like my Sword Aura, but it wasn't. Let me ask him first. Perhaps this is the Fifth Level of Weapon Intent we were looking for.'

Rean then took a deep breath and asked with an excited expression. The attack just now used the same principle as the contest he participated. It carried absolutely no Elements, laws, or Cultivation Energies. Without those things, Rean and his Second Grade Starlight Body should make him as strong as Diliy, if not stronger. Yet, he went all out and even used his Spiritual Energy and Elements to counterattack Diliy just now. Nonetheless, he lost miserably, and that was while using a proper sword against Diliy's Wooden one!

"That just now... Initially, I didn't feel any Sword Intent at all. It felt like my Sword Aura when it came in my direction. However, it was also different. Was it..." Rean commented.

"It is not," Diliy shook his head, feeling very satisfied with Rean's expression. It was the first time since this meeting started that Rean showed some interest. "I've seen the Fifth Level of Weapon Intent before when I visited another planet."

Those words reminded Rean of Kuslau's words. Kuslau mentioned that the Gondel Clan Master paid a visit to another planet where a cultivator from the higher realms demonstrated the Fifth Level of Spear Intent. Most likely, Diliy was also there during that time.

"However," Diliy continued, "this is the result of what I've been working on since then. I feel like I'm getting close, but, at the same time, I'm still far. All I can tell is that I'm in the right direction." Diliy then smiled again. "How about it? I don't mind teaching you a little more... if you decide to become my disciple."

Rean took a deep breath. After all the fights on the platform, Rean and Roan begin to slowly picture what the fifth level could be. Yet, Diliy was much, much further away. He truly might be the key to the fifth level. "I'll be honest, I'm very interested in the Sword Intent you showed me. However... I feel like I must tell you the other part of the story. Even if I accept you as my master, I won't be staying for long. I have things to do back home, and even if my home is not on this planet, I will still find it, even if I have to die trying."

Diliy liked how straightforward Rean was with his words. "That's okay. You won't be staying for long, but you probably will spend the next few decades or even hundreds of years here. Sure, a few decades or centuries isn't long for cultivators like us. Nonetheless, that will be enough time to teach you properly. I feel like you have everything necessary to surpass me, and you will do that quite fast."

Rean bitterly smiled. Few decades? Centuries? It would be a miracle if Rean and Roan stayed more than ten years already. Once the Void Shattering Pill was completed, they would reach the Void Tempering Realm straight away.

Rean and Roan already know how to feel and control time due to the fact they were once Late Stage Divinity Realm cultivators. That said, they only needed to reach the Void Tempering Realm to be able to open Spatial Gates. There was no need to wait for the Space-Time Realm to do it. At that time, this planet would be of little concern to them.

"I don't think I will need all that time, but that is up to you," Rean spoke truthfully. The man seemed worth of respect, but in his abilities and his personality, so he didn't want to trick him.

Diliy laughed in response, though. "Hahaha! You youngsters are all so full of energy. You still don't understand how long the path of cultivation is. Very well, even if it doesn't take that long for you to leave, I will still take you as a disciple. How about that?"

Rean shrugged. He told the truth, and Diliy took it as a joke. That was not his fault anymore. "Alright. I will join the World Splitting Sect and be your disciple. Nonetheless, I still have a few things to do in this city. It can not wait. Is that fine?"

Diliy didn't mind. He has achieved his objective already. "No problem at all. The airships of my World Splitting Sect will be leaving tomorrow morning. If you are ready, you can come and join us on our way back. If not, just use the teleport formations in the city. Our sect obviously has a few connected here."

Rean nodded. "Great. Then I will take my leave. See you later, old man." Rean immediately turned around and left the room, leaving Diliy with a bewildered expression. How many people in this world dared to be so casual with him?

Rean knew nothing of Diliy's thoughts and simply jumped from the airship and flew down. 'You heard it. Was that a good decision?' He then asked Roan.

'Yes,' Roan obviously thought it was the right choice. Anything that could make them stronger was always welcome, especially that Sword Intent. 'Go ahead and find a blacksmith workshop. I'll be there in a while.'

At this time, Roan was sitting face to face with the Lincae Sect Master, Unitten. They were playing the exact same Battlefield Board as Roan did in the contest. Surprisingly, Roan wasn't winning by a country mile. He held the advantage, but it was only slightly.

Unitten happily played his turn, seeing he had a worthy opponent on the other side. "How

long has it been since I had so much fun... Young man, you should definitely come to my Lincae Sect. I'll make you the next sect master."
