Chapter 573: Intense Questioning...

Immediately, the temperature in the room dropped by even more Celsius as Grand Elder Celestine stepped down the steps and inched closer towards who remained kneeling on the ground.

Slowly, the lady stretched out her gloved hands, gently touching Nazia’s forehead.

The entire group watched with fearful eyes as they witnessed a silent show hit ripple spread out from Nazia’s forehead, whose eyes remained completely covered in white, while Grand Elder Celestine remained with her eyes shut.

“Reading Memories...” Zeras thought in his head while keeping silent.

Ten seconds passed, and finally, Grand Elder Celestine broke off her contact from Nazia’s forehead as Nazia collapsed on all fours, and Grand Elder Naxia stared at her with a slightly irritated gaze.

“You were ordered to test the young man, but all you did was get easily tricked by him, and you forgot the purpose of the mission you were given.

For such negligence, I would have normally sent you to three years imprisonment in the Temple of Moratua. But due to how honorable a person your master is, I will be reducing your sentence to three months,” she said as she waved her hands, and immediately Nazia disappeared from the hall, leaving her sect sister behind.

Then, she turned her attention to them once more as she slowly walked past Undying Narelle and came to stand before Zeras.

“What do you say in defense of yourself?” She asked, looking down at Zeras, who felt the temperature decrease even more.

“The requirement given to me to pass the test is to last against her for five minutes, to not get eliminated. Something which I successfully did,” Zeras replied as Grand Elder Celestine shook her head.

“My regression might be seen as nothing short of an unforeseen disaster, one not even I saw coming. But a cultivation regression, no matter how devastating, doesn’t mean I would not reach the Undying Realm rank in the future. It only means I might need more time than planned.”

“Oh really?” Grand Elder Constatine asked, with a slight mocking tone mixed with undeniable disbelief.

“Not all bad situations are really bad; perhaps it might be a blessing in disguise. A way to set things right once more, the mistakes or wishes that I wish I had learned before arriving at the Universe rank. I can correct them now with my regression. Regressing definitely made me lose some of my strength, but definitely not my potential. I would be capable of reaching the Undying Realm Rank in the future.”

“And what proof do you have to support your claim? That you still have your potential, that you will be capable of reaching the Undying Realm Rank in the future?” She asked, and Zeras remained quiet.

“I have nothing but my unwavering will,” he replied, and she simply huffed.

“Stand to the side,” she ordered as coldly as ever, as she walked towards the remaining ten girls.

“From today henceforth, you ten are one of the Ten Thousand Transformation Sect. You will be clothed, fed, protected, and grown by it.

Anyone who faces you with ill intent, not belonging to the Ten Thousand Transformation Sect nor its orders, would bear the full, unbridled wrath of the entire Sect,” she declared before turning to Nazia’s younger clan sister.

“Take them to a new abode, and explain to them all the rules of the sect,” she ordered the lady who gave a nod and walked out with the ten girls.

Now, there were only Zeras, Undying Narelle who carried Fluffy, and Grand Elder Celestine remaining...
