Chapter 100: 2 Blood Moons and 49 Purple stars

There was an unbelievable expression on the sect leader Gamos' face as he looked at Henrick.

"How many stars are visible to your eyes and most importantly, what patterns are you seeing on the two blood moons?"

However, the sect leader Gamos suppressed his shocked expression as he asked two questions to his disciple.

"Hmm...let me count,"

Henrick nodded his head as he started counting the stars in the sky for a minute before replied to his master, "Exactly 49."

"49? Are you sure?"

The sect leader Gamos raised his brows as he asked Henrick to confirm his answer.

'I should stop feeling shocked at his every action. Since he is 'Their' son, I should not compare him with other cultivators,'

At the same, he calmed himself as he silently thought in his head.

"Yes and all of them are in purple colour,"

Henrick nodded his head as he confirmed his earlier reply.

"Purple colour? Looks like he is going to walk down the same path his father once walked on; however, Henrick entered his race's trial ground, unlike his father. He will become even more powerful and terrifying them his father,"

Hearing Henrick's words, the sect leader Gamos didn't feel much surprised as he had mentally prepared in his mind how powerful and terrifying his disciple was going to become.

"Henrick, don't say anything about what you can see in the night sky to anyone. Do you understand?"

The sect leader Gamos looked at Henrick with a serious expression on his face as he asked Henrick.

"Yes, master,"

Henrick didn't understand much; however, he could sense from his master's expression that what he could see in the night sky was definitely not normal. So, he nodded his head.

"Now, tell me what pattern are you seeing on the blood moons,"

Pointing at the two blood moons, the sect leader Gamos asked his disciple with a curious look on his face.

"I am unable to see that pattern completely, master. The pattern is like a blur to me; however, compared to the first time I have seen the night sky, it is somewhat clearer now,"

Rubbing the back of his head, Henrick replied to his master.

"Okay,"

Gamos nodded his head and looked at Henrick for a moment before saying, "I have another task for you."

"What? Another task?"

All of a sudden, Henrick unconsciously shouted out loud; however, he hurriedly closed his mouth.

"Yes, a very simple one," The sect leader Gamos revealed a slight smile on his face and continued, "It is to stare at the night sky daily for a few minutes."

"Huh? That's it? Just staring at the night sky?" 

Henrick looked at his master with a puzzled expression as he felt something was wrong with his master's task.

"Yes, at some point in time, you will see a pattern in the two blood moons. At that time, just inform me what that pattern is, okay?"

The sect leader Gamos revealed a slight smile as he clearly explained regarding the task.

"For what, master?"

Instead of agreeing to his master's task, Henrick asked for a reason for the task.

'Slap'

"Just inform me when you clearly see a pattern on the two blood moons, then I will say,"

What Henrick's got for his question was a slap from his master and moreover, his master didn't give him the reason.

'Nods'

Henrick nodded his head as he rubbed the back of his head.

"Okay then, let's continue walking,"

Soon, both master-student duo started walking while continuing their questions and answers.

Even though Henrick asked many questions, the sect leader Gamos answered very few questions and as for the unanswered questions he replied, 'Ask your senior brother Nick.'

"So, master, what is Nick's current cultivation?"

Finally, Henrick asked one last question regarding Nick.

"He has already tempered his entire body three times after entering the muscle strengthening realm. So, you know what his cultivation is, right?"

The sect leader Gamos didn't answer Henrick's question directly but answered indirectly.

"Peak stage 1 muscle strengthening realm? I need to catch up to him soon,"

Henrick was surprised a little; however, his competitive nature made him excited as he muttered to himself.

"By the way, it's finally time for you to learn about the outer sect and it's traditions,"

The sect leader Gamos was satisfied with Henrick's competitive nature; however, there was some worry in his heart when it came to Henrick's cultivation. 

According to his uncle, he had to delay his disciple's cultivation progress to the Energy condensation realm. So, he had already thought of an idea for it and now he was implementing it.

"I am waiting for it, master,"

Henrick, who didn't know his master's plans, was excited because he was always curious to know more about the outer sect.

"In the outer sect, there are many halls or divisions and each one of them focuses on their own duties,"

Soon, the sect leader Gamos started explaining about the working of the outer sect and Henrick didn't disturb his master as he silently followed behind his master while observing the cultivation abodes here and there.

"As for what those halls are and what they will do, you will know them as you explore the outer sect; however, I will say one important hall for new disciples like you. It is a mission hall,"

The sect leader stopped walking and turned back to look at his disciple who was curiously looking at his sides.

"Are you hearing?"

Seeing that his disciple's focus was on the surroundings and not his explanation, the sect leader Gamos raised his voice as he asked Henrick with a serious expression on his face.

"I am listening to you, master. What is the tradition of the outer sect? Is it related to the mission hall?"

Henrick replied with a serious face as though he was listening to everything his master was saying from the beginning.

"Yes; however, you are not a regular outer sect disciple. So, you need to work harder than others...Hehe,"

When he finished his words, the sect leader Gamos revealed a cunning smile as he looked at Henrick.
