At the Sacred Saber Deity Sect...
During this time, the Sacred Saber Deity Sect was having a sword-handing ceremony for the prime disciples who could evolve themselves to the top of the Immortal Soul stage, half a step to the Divine Emperor stage. Everyone within the sect came to congratulate them. But at that moment, they felt Elder Hai-Tu's phenomenon pillar.
After Elder Hai-Tu's phenomenon pillar appeared, the Divine Emperor stage masters, who were cultivating, all sensed it at the same time and opened their eyes, staring in the direction of the phenomenon pillar that they had sensed. But soon, they returned to their former calm because they still had to cultivate.
As for the disciples that were gathering, they all talked about the phenomenon pillar from which they could sense where it occurred. But as their energy was too low, no one could know and pinpoint the exact location, except for some elders and prime disciples who were cultivators at the half-step to the Divine Emperor stage.
"What is this? Why does Blueland have another Divine Emperor stage master?" said a young man who was the Sacred Saber Deity Sect's number one disciple suspiciously.
"This matter should not be disclosed to other disciples. You should keep this secret." At that moment, a voice rang in the young man's head, telling him to keep this matter from talking to anyone.
The young man did not answer; he just nodded in acknowledgment. He knew from whom the voice he heard came. And he understood the meaning of this order and knew why he had to do this.
Back to In-See City...
When a breakthrough of the Divine Emperor stage phenomenon occurred within In-See City, the people who were doing their own activities all stopped. Some people did nothing but stand still with their mouths agape. But many people were able to regain their senses and start chatting.
"Was that the Divine Emperor stage breakthrough phenomenon!?"
"Tha… that… that's right. Because it's the same as last time."
"But who is it this time?"
"Whoever it is, our kingdom has already gained another Divine Emperor stage master."
"That's right! I can't believe that I can live until today. The day when our kingdom will no longer be insulted by other kingdoms."
"Based on the phenomenon pillar's position, it probably came from…"
"Beyond Earth Sect."
"Yes, Beyond Earth Sect... Huh? The… The… Second Prince!"
Huh!!!
"Second Prince!?"
Suddenly, as the people were talking, a voice interrupted. And when the people turned to look, they saw that the owner of the voice was the second prince of Blueland, Prince Lu-Bei.
Thump!!! Thump!!! Thump!!!
"Respect, the Second Prince!"
"Respect, the Second Prince!"
The surrounding people knelt in unison with respectful and respectful greetings when they saw Prince Lu-Bei. Not only the people but also some cultivators, because they were all in this kingdom.
"Everyone, stand up. Take it easy," Prince Lu-Bei reached out and told everyone. He did not like the formalities much and preferred to be simple.
This time, he had only brought ten guards with him. Each of them was an intermediate Immortal stage cultivator. And the robes they were wearing were all the Beyond Earth Sect robes. But those were just the robes of the inner disciple, not the prime disciple. The reason for this was that they had to return to the capital before being promoted to be the prime disciples of the sect.
And today they came to be promoted. But getting out of the capital was not easy without a mission outside the city. However, this time they were very lucky that Lu-Bei wanted to come to In-See City, and they who were disciples of the Beyond Earth Sect had the opportunity to become Lu-Bei's bodyguards.
"Let's go. I want to meet Young Master Zheng-Fu now," Prince Lu-Bei said with a very happy expression on his face as he thought of the person he wanted to meet.
"Yes, sir!!!"
After speaking, Prince Lu-Bei and the ten guards immediately headed for the Beyond Earth Sect.
"Wow!!! The Second Prince is so handsome! He's even more handsome than the way people have ever described him."
"Of course... Prince Lu-Bei is both elegant and good at education and martial arts too. This is my future husband!"
"He's mine. Don't even think about it!"
"Mine!"
Smack! Ouch! Smack! Ouch! Smack! Ouch!
Back at Zheng-Fu's room...
"Elder Hai-Tu has now been promoted to the rank of Divine Emperor martial master. The next people with a chance to attain the Divine Emperor stage would be… Brother Hai-Dong or Brother Dong-Kuang. These two have a very high chance of breaking into the Divine Emperor stage. As for the others, I'll have to wait and see who can reach what stage."
Zheng-Fu spoke while thinking and analyzing the possibilities for the next person who would advance to the Divine Emperor stage. In his mind, there were two people: Hai-Dong, his sworn brother, and Dong-Kuang, Zheng-Fu's confidant since he had just started his journey.
As for the others, Zheng-Fu did not expect them to reach the Divine Emperor stage. As long as they were at the advanced or intermediate Immortal Soul stage, that was enough. But if anyone was able to break through to the Emperor stage, Zheng-Fu would be very pleased and delighted.
Reaching the Divine Emperor stage meant that the strength and security of In-See City would also increase because just one Divine Emperor stage cultivator could be compared to a hundred thousand of those at the Immortal Soul stage, not to mention the lower levels.
During this time, Zheng-Fu was still within the Beyond Earth Sect to deal with the issues and manage many matters that had arisen on behalf of Dong-Kuang and those in the Great Hall. Since no one was doing these tasks, Zheng-Fu had to take on all of them.
But he did not complain, not even a single word, because it made him know more about what he never knew about the sect, especially what the sect still lacked.
In addition to administering the sect, Zheng-Fu had also ordered some prime disciples to go out and post announcements to recruit a large number of new disciples. The rules for becoming a disciple remain the same, which was a test of a determined and virtuous mind. And the most important qualification was to love and be loyal to the sect.
Zheng-Fu increased the number of disciples this time to push all the disciples to try harder than ever because the more people, the higher the competition. In addition, Zheng-Fu also began to modify and add the system of using scores to exchange items within the sect.
If anyone wanted a good weapon or armor, they could exchange their scores, or they could also trade Qi energy stones and pills. As for the scores, Zheng-Fu had set up the missions for the disciples to perform to earn scores.
But each mission was not one that everyone could take. Each mission had specific conditions and requirements. Therefore, if anyone wanted to do any mission, he or she had to have all the qualifications according to the rules.
However, managing all of this alone was extremely difficult for Zheng-Fu. Even though he sent a request to Lao-Ying-Ba to send someone to help with these matters, it was still not enough to meet Zheng-Fu's needs. But as Zheng-Fu was contemplating a way out, loud footsteps sounded before stopping in front of the door of his room with a loud knock.
Knock!!! Knock!!! Knock!!!
"Young Master Zheng-Fu, the Second Prince Lu-Bei, has come to meet you," the voice of the prime disciple who served as the messenger for Zheng-Fu reported.
"Prince Lu-Bei!? Um... Invite him to wait at the guesthouse first. I'll be there soon," Zheng-Fu replied.
"Yes, sir!!!"
"What is he doing here? Or is the capital in chaos?" Zheng-Fu was slightly suspicious of Lu-Bei's arrival. He did not expect Lu-Bei to come to him, even though the capital had so much trouble.
Ten minutes had passed...
After the prime disciple received the order, he returned to Lu-Bei again before humbly inviting Lu-Bei to wait in the guest house as Zheng-Fu had told him. He then left to continue doing his duty because he knew he should not be there any longer.
Lu-Bei and the ten guards were all invited into the well-prepared guest house that was used to welcome important guests who came to this Beyond Earth Sect
"I didn't expect this Beyond Earth Sect to be this large and formidable," said the Second Prince, Lu-Bei, after he entered the sect through the path from the outer-disciple zone.
"Our Beyond Earth Sect is divided according to disciple levels, so there must be a large space for each level of disciples, Your Highness.
And in addition to the areas for each level of disciples, there are also common areas that everyone can use together, such as the Central Martial Arts Court in the middle of the sect, Skill Hall, Medicine Hall, or even the valley behind the sect where monster beasts live."
"Um... What a good place. I never thought that Young Master Zheng-Fu would be able to create and organize the Beyond Earth Sect so well, even the disciple system. What a wonderful person. My visit wasn't really disappointing either," the Second Prince, Lu-Bei, said with a happy smile and felt very good about coming this time.
"Our Beyond Earth Sect, although only recently established, has a number of disciples and skills that are not at all inferior to the large sects that have been established for a long time.
We're still a new sect now, but in the future, all disciples who graduate from here will definitely go out and build reputations for our sect, Your Highness," the prime disciple who welcomed Lu-Bei said proudly when talking about his sect.
Even the ten guards who escorted the Second Prince, Lu-Bei, nodded in agreement because they were disciples here and also gained a lot of knowledge and stuff while they were here. They were as proud as this prime disciple.
"Of course, I believe so because these ten were also disciples here. All ten of them always perform well. Therefore, the disciples of the Beyond Earth Sect will definitely build a good reputation for the sect, as you say," Prince Lu-Bei praised the prime disciple, saying that he believed in the disciples of the Beyond Earth Sect as well.
At that moment, the prime disciple in charge of bringing Lu-Bei to the guest house stopped his feet and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for complimenting us. I can only accompany you here. Continue walking for about ten lis and you'll find a house there. Young Master Zheng-Fu is waiting for you." He gave Lu-Bei a friendly and humble smile before turning around and walking away.
"Thank you so much for bringing me here."
