Reborn As A Dragon Girl With A System

Chapter 871: Hellos And Goodbyes Sometimes Bring More Hellos

Inside Moon Crest Academy, on top of the sect master's mountain inside his immortal cave, two people sat sipping tea. "You wanted to speak with me?"

"Mm… My family and I will be going into closed door cultivation for who knows how long. We will not be coming out until we reach the peak of this mortal plane. But I do not feel right just leaving the sect unprotected, so I plan to do two things. One is to set up a barrier around the sect that will protect it from any external threats and give you a temporary runic imprint that will allow sect members to leave and come back once. I will also give you a permanent one that will allow whoever you trust to come and go as they please.

"On top of this, I want to give you the strength of someone who resides at the top of this lower plane. This will ensure the sect will never be destroyed during your lifetime. So work hard and reach the peak of this plane." Kana explained.

The sect master looked at Kana and felt touched by her offer. He did wish to keep this sect alive for many more years to come, and with his current life span, he still had plenty of time to extend it if he continued his cultivation. "Then I will be grateful for your assistance."

"Mm…" Kana said as she stood up. "Then please strip down to your underwear. I will begin the runic engraving."

An hour later, a powerful aura came from on top of the sect master peak. The sect master stood outside his immortal cave and looked out over the sect with a smile. He looked the same overall if you ignored the runic marks all over his skin. "Sect master!"

Elder Ning flew over and landed on the mountain peak. His expression was one of shock as he looked at the sect master. "This…"

"Kana wanted to make sure nothing happened to the sect. So she helped me gain more power. Also, you will be getting complaints soon about not being able to enter or leave the sect. Take this imprint and pass it out to the other elders. It is a temporary one. It is good for leaving and entering once. I will give you a permanent one later." The sect master said while handing over a runic symbol on a jade slip. "The instructions are also in the jade slip."

Elder Ning took the jade slip and looked it over before pressing it on his forehead. When he saw what needed to be done, he was quite surprised at how simple it was. "This…."

"Our sect will be secure for many generations to come. So work hard and raise your cultivation so we can watch how our sect grows with our own eyes."

Outside Kana's immortal cave, Kana was sitting down with Nana, who had just recently come back from a mission. "You have worked hard, I see."

"It took a while, but I finally reached the foundation establishment realm. I heard you took Mei Ling in…." Nana lowered her head. She felt kind of jealous of Mei Ling for being able to follow Kana.

"Nana, I wanted to ask if you wished to follow me as well. You can become my sister and grow stronger with me as I work my way through the upper planes of this world and beyond. Although you may no longer be considered human, I can promise you that you will grow to become the strongest out there." Kana offered. She had wanted to bring Nana along with her as Nana was like a sister to her. They had gone through a lot together, and she did not feel right if she did not offer her this chance.

Nana stared at Kana in a daze. She never thought Kana would give her such an offer. It took a few seconds before it fully kicked in before a big smile formed on her lips, and she shook her head. "While it is tempting, I do not wish to leave this world. I know you will eventually leave, and I will grow old and die one day. But I wish to do everything under the power of my own strength. While I know I will miss you, I will always remember you. My path lies here on this world."

Kana smiled and leaned over and hugged Nana. "Be careful and take care of yourself. If you are still here when I come out of closed door cultivation, let's sit and have a long chat."

"Mmm…" Tears began to well up in Nana's eyes. She hugged Kana tightly. She knew this might be the last time they got to see each other again. She hated saying goodbye to Kana, but she had to follow her own path. She may be jealous of Mei Ling, but that was Mei Ling's path and not her own.

Kana said goodbye to everyone else before returning to her immortal cave. She then set up a barrier around the entire place and headed to the second floor. "Is everyone ready?" Kana looked at her family, and they all nodded their heads. "Then let's begin."

It was a warm sunny day with a clear blue sky. On top of a mountain peak outside of an immortal cave, a young woman around twenty five years old stood with a broom in her hand, humming away as she swept the leaves from the stone walkway. She wore a black elder's robe that all Moon Crest Academy elders wore. She seemed happy and content with what she was doing. As if it brought her peace of mind by cleaning this path. A kind of meditiation that eased her heart.

At that moment, she suddenly stopped what she was doing and turned around. A figure appeared from the doorway to the immortal cave in front of her. A lizard tail and two horns with halos hanging from them. Her colorful hair gently swayed as she walked over and pulled the young woman into a hug. "It's good to see you again Nana…."
