911 Going to the Sec

Name:Gacha Sovereign Author:Fixten
The speed that this monster would be able to pull was faster than your average monster. In fact, they chose specifically the fastest monster in the Martial Saint Stage. 

And Alex could find an array that powered up the carriage to float, making it a weightless carriage. Because it stayed on land and not floated in the sky, the power consumption was also low. This might be the most efficient way to transport people instead of having a floating ship in the sky.

Except, there were forests and towns along the way, making it hard for land transportation like this to cross. He wondered if this carriage could float only when they needed it, but nonetheless, there was still one more important person that he needed to meet before getting inside the carriage.

It was a middle-aged man, almost looked like an old man, facing directly at him. His eyes still held the fierceness just like the good old day as he tried to observe this mysterious man that had saved his daughter.

Aria had requested to leave without anyone here, but it was impossible. At the very least, he should be present to see off the carriage and a few other things.

Alex also had adjusted his power to a 6-Star Martial Saint instead of 1-Star, or else it would become suspicious on how he could fight against ten Martial Saints.

He clasped his hands and slightly bowed to him, showing his respect to Aria's father and the head of the Cypress Family.

The latter found what he meant and let out a long sigh. "I am not your match in terms of like this… Such a powerful young man."

"Father." Aria also bowed her head to her father while smiling. "We will be going in a few minutes, and I believe everything is prepared, right?"

"Of course. This is the recommendation letter for you." He handed two tokens and a letter to her. "This is the proof identity of our Cypress Family and the token of Unsurpassed Blade Sect. The elder in charge of the enrollment will surely instruct you on what you should do next."

"I understand. I shall show this to the elder." She nodded.

"Although it won't be as much as you, I am sure he can follow you for a special admittance, albeit won't get your kind of luxury. It can be said it's a kind of tagging along." He nodded.

"Alright." She smiled and hugged her father. "Father, I will miss you."

"Don't worry about me. Just make sure you keep getting stronger there. You and Adrian will always be my pride, and make sure to whip his ass if he turns bad again."

"…" Her father fell silent while sweating inside. "You girl… Who do you take after, really…"

"Of course, it's Mother. You were often beaten up by her in the past. I will surely get stronger and pay everything Grayfig Family has done in the past." She smirked.

"Haiz. You can let your brother do it because I know that you want freedom the most. However, exempting you from arranged marriage is the most I can do."

"It's fine. At the very least, it won't hinder me during this time. When I return, if I say the sun rises from the north, the elders won't say it rises from the south." She grinned.

"Haha, sure. Try to reach God Rank as soon as possible. I don't know why, but your mother's last words told me that the world would soon become turmoil."

"I heed Father's words." She clasped her hand politely.

The father then looked at Alex while narrowing his eyes. There was a sense of mystery coming from this man. Not only was he able to see through the plot coming from the elder in the day he actually came to this family, but he also had this mysterious aura surrounding him, telling him that he needed to be careful against this man.

At the same time, the mask that covered only the upper part of his head made it look like he was a man with stories. Nonetheless, he shouldn't be that ungrateful for what he had done to this family.

He took a deep breath and stretched his hand while smiling. "I am grateful for what you have done, especially concerning my daughter. So, I would like to leave my daughter in your hand."

Alex twitched his eyebrows as if he felt a hidden intention in his words earlier. Knowing what to do, he chose to clasp his hand and nodded. "I will surely take care of her safety."

The man looked at his hand and smiled, knowing how careful Alex was. He left his daughter in his hand to show whether he had a special attachment to his daughter. Unfortunately, Alex only confirmed her safety, telling him that he didn't have any special feelings for his daughter.

At the same time, if he shook his hand, he could sense his age from his bone alone. Although it wouldn't be that accurate, he could still see how old he was compared to his daughter. And this would also show him the difference in their talent.

And Aria also knew this. She even thought what her father would say that the one in front of him was a forty years old God Rank Expert, he might go insane.

"Then, Father. It's time for us to leave." She smiled and asked Alex to come in.

Alex nodded and got in after her before the father waved his hand and closed the door for them. "Be careful, Daughter."

"Yes." She smiled, and the carriage finally started moving.

"You are very careful, huh." She pouted.

"I don't know what you are talking about." Alex played dumb while sealing his cultivation again to 1-Star Martial Saint.

"The sect will surely check your cultivation, you know. Do you think you can easily fool them with that sealing technique of yours?"

"This hasn't disappointed me even once." Alex smiled while thinking, 'It could even fool many worlds, so it wouldn't expel them or send Lightning Tribulation toward them. There is no way a world like this has the power to sense it.'

"Since you are that confident, I won't say much then." She nodded. "Now, onto the details. We still have a few hours before leaving this carriage to set up the trap. My body double is waiting for me there along with the additional guards. Well, the current guards are waiting for us outside the town right now."

"Sure."

"According to the letter my brother gave me, there will be around a thousand people, with most of them coming from great backgrounds, participating in this enrollment process. During that time, only a hundred to two hundred will be accepted, depending on their performances.

"As for the test, I am not sure myself, but there is a clue regarding this test. First, it will test your talent to wield a weapon. The second test will be a battle royal. We are going to find something during this time, and those with a certain of points or ranks are qualified to take the third test.

"The third test itself is unknown. It depends on the elder in charge. During the past enrollments, some were blessings and gave them many advantages early on, while some were misfortune and held them back for a year or two.

"Still, whether it was misfortune or blessing, you could easily differentiate a true talent among the current batch of disciples. I believe they use that to check something like that, and luck is also a part of strength."

"I completely agree with the luck part." As a Gacha Master, no one would understand how much he relied on luck.

"Then, I would like to know a bit of backstory about you, so when people ask me, I can give the same answer." She smiled, trying to prepare everything.

Alex widened his eyes as he never thought of this. This girl was surely one that made thorough preparation before doing something. He nodded and started explaining his circumstances. "I am Nyx, an orphan. I have been training in a certain master during my childhood. According to my master, he was one of the peak masters in this world, but because I didn't have strength, I couldn't know his true strength, but despite my strength, I still believed I couldn't fight him at all.

"After passing away, he asked to join the Unsurpassed Blade Sect because of my talent in the sword. I didn't know whether he was a loose cultivator or someone coming from a sect, so what do you think?"

"Alright. We will have the backstory as such. Knowing too much is also suspicious, so it's enough for me. The rest will be on you." She nodded. "We can say that on the way to the sect, you met me and saved me. Because of that, I tried to repay you by leading you to the sect and did all this."

"Alright then." Alex agreed with the backstory with her. "Actually, I would like to ask one thing from you."

"Sure. Ask me anything, I will tell you if I know it."

"Did the Peerless Sword God leave a legacy?"

"The Peerless Sword God?" She widened, never expecting Alex to have such an aim. She even wondered whether his true aim was this. Even so, she had no intention of lying. "Yes, he left a legacy—a few in fact. Three of them are inside the Unsurpassed Blade Sect since he was an alumnus there. While there were two for the whole world."

"Ho?!" He narrowed his eyes.

"I will tell you about those in the sect first. The first thing he left behind was his sword. It could be said that the one who could lift that sword would be the leader of the sect and reached the top of the world."

"Since he was a God King, I am sure that the Sword is a peak Divine Weapon. Even the passing time won't reduce the sword's sharpness. However, I have no intention for that." Alex nodded. He had two reasons for not aiming that sword. First, he already asked for a custom-made weapon from the Blackwade Clan. Second, he would gather too much attention during the process.

"I understand your point." She nodded in agreement. "The second thing is a Sword Cave."

"A Sword Cave?"

"Yes. It's a kind of cave with a huge amount of Sword Qi. He broke through in this cave, so when people came in, it would be easier to comprehend Sword Qi."

"Oh, there is such a thing? This is a good place to train." He nodded. "What is the third thing then?"

"The third thing is the Sword Stone."

"What is the use of the Sword Stone?"

"This is a kind of giant stone with Sword Qi engraved on it. This Sword Qi contains powerful Martial Arts that the Sword God used in the past. That was why many were trying to comprehend the things inside to wield his Martial Arts. It was said that the Martial Arts had been polished to such a degree."

"His Martial Arts?" Alex stared at her in amazement. He heard the tale about the Peerless Sword God. In terms of swordsmanship, even his previous life couldn't handle him. Even though both could cut a small world, he was able to cut a bigger one than his previous life.

To train his Martial Art, this might be his chance, Alex thought. "This one is interesting."

"You might be able to do it if what you have shown me during the past few weeks were true." She rolled her eyes.

"What are the two things he left for the world?"

"They are…"
