NOVEL NEXT Chapter 22: Void Training Hall Appears
I continued happily harvesting every part of the Lightning Leopards corpse. Each part was either incredibly valuable or beneficial to my cultivation. Since I only needed to provide proof of success the people who would be sent to find me could work just fine as proof. Guess I'll just head out now. A shame I can't fit everything in my storage bag. My first purchase is going to be a space ring.
I carried the skin of this Leopard on my back as I flew away. I went back the same way I came so it would be easier to find me. Though I was flying a little slowly since I had just fought what I believed to be a 6th order monster beast. Not only that but I completely dominated it. That spear is really something else. Perhaps it's too much of a crutch? Nah, I will face challenges that would require me to be so much stronger than my own realm.
As I was thinking, Two Saint Realms appeared and they wore the clothes of my Purple Phoenix Palace. The two stopped in utter shock. The skin I was carrying was clearly from a peak 6th rank monster beast at least. They looked at each other.
"Have you ever heard of something like this?" They both said pointing at each other.
"I haven't but you must have heard something about this." They both said again.
This went back and forth for a while. I just thought "Really these are the two idiots they sent to come rescue me". My face said it all.
"Greeting seniors, I am Wang An Leiji. Are these two Seniors the ones the Palace sent to attempt a rescue?" I asked politely.
"Ah yes we came to take care of the situation by order of one contribution hall elder." The one on the left said.
"Though it seems we were a bit late and junior has already slain the powerful enemy on his own." The one on the right said.
"Since this is the case we should escort you to return to the Palace." The one on the left said.
"Such is our duty. I'm glad it's just this. I prefer this result over collecting an incomplete corpse." The one on the right said.
"Ahahahahahaha, Seniors are funny. I too prefer this result over the latter mentioned." I said, tickled by the situation.
"Good then allow us to escort you back safely." they both said.
The three of us flew off towards the Palace. I was about to get a big reward for this. I was thoroughly excited by the prospect of getting my own space ring. Though it would have to wait until after I sold the materials. Such is the way of the world. Unless Master Feng gives me a really nice one. Or should I see if my father could give one.Anyways we arrived back at the Palace contribution hall and the elder is still pacing back and forth.
"Seniors, do you know why the Elder is pacing back and forth so worriedly?" I asked, pointing.
"That's because until now no one other than us two knew you were still alive." one of the saint realms said.
Hearing this the elder quickly jerked his head. "Oh thank the heavens. Here I was worried about how to explain to the Palace Master." he said, letting out a sigh of relief.
"Explain what exactly? You didn't happen to make a mistake and then just happen to allow my disciple to go out on such a dangerous mission. Though it was smart to send these two. Thank you both for bringing my disciple back." Master Feng said, having appeared out of absolutely nowhere.
"It was our honor Palace Master! However, we didn't do much. Junior slayed the enemy on his own and even harvested all the materials before we even arrived." one said.
"Yes, Palace Master. My brother and I met up with Junior as he was flying back to the Palace. We simply escorted Junior back." the other side.
"You're telling me my Disciple who just broke through to the True Element Realm fought and killed a peak 6th rank monster beast alone?" Master Feng said, curiously.
"Yes, Palace Master. This is how it was. We dare not lie." They both said.
Master Feng looked me up and down and checked my cultivation base. "I'll believe you in this matter. My disciple has always possessed a great power. So it's not completely impossible if he thinks rationally." Master Feng sighed. "The quest is complete, mark it as such." she added.
"Yes, right away Palace Master. This matter will be looked into." The elder said.
"Have this space ring to store all of your things more easily. I wouldn't want you to have any items degrade on you." Master Feng said, handing me the space ring.
"Thank you master. I'll put my things in it now." I said, immediately transferring over all the items in my bag to the ring.
Someone came running into the Contribution hall.
"Palace Master, a weird Image has appeared in the sky. It is akin to that of a training hall." The person said.
Master Feng went outside and so did I. Perhaps this was the chance my father talked about before. I had to see it. And when I looked up at the training hall I felt the strange pull as if it was beckoning me to come to it. Moreover it was definitely my fathers signature. Though nothing happened just yet I clearly felt the pull.
The Elders and Palace master all were focused on trying to figure out what to do. After all no such event has appeared in the world since time began here. Soon after an Elder returned with news about the hall. All this time I was still cultivating while looking at the hall. Calm, serene and focused.
Then an eight colored light appeared and I started floating up towards the Void Training Hall. A scene that at the moment made Master Feng slightly worried. She almost lost me for good and now I am leaving again.
"Don't worry, Master. This is a good thing. I believe our Palace will grow more as a result. I'll come visit when I can next." I said, just before entering the hall.
"You better! You're my little disciple. How can I just let you leave and not come back." Master Feng huffed, with a pouty face. "Seems I must find another little disciple to keep this master company." she huffed again.
"I'm sure Disciple Leiji will be just fine Palace Master. You yourself said he killed a rank 6 monster beast. That's equivalent to 2 whole major realms beyond him. I'd be worried for the other chosen disciples at this rate." Vice-Palace Master said.
"You're not wrong. My disciple is strong and powerful. I doubt he will lose to anyone in the same realm. Still I must find one to dote on as a child." Master Feng said, clearly not letting this go.
