Chapter 2007 The Two Enemies

The Blue Silk sect was so massive that numbers could not explain its vastness. There were thousands of mountains, each one taller than any mountain that was in the Poison Fighting sect.

There were 15 primary mountains that everyone had to know about, and other various mountains that held different buildings and halls.

The 15 primary mountains each housed one of the 15 most significant elders of the sect, all of whom were known simply as the 15 Peaks.

8 of them were male elders, and 7 were female. 12 humans, 2 beasts, 1 plant.

There were many other elders, but these 15 were the ones that everyone knew about.

To be involved in the sect, one had to place themselves under one of the 15 peaks so they could gain assistance during their cultivation journey.

Alex had to soon decide which of the 15 he wanted to be under as well. It had been 2 days since Alex had joined the sect, and he had spent the last 2 days doing nothing but cultivating. He had been made to choose one of the many empty mountains and build himself a place to stay in there.

Surprisingly, unlike other sects, the Blue Silk sect provided no home. One had to build it themselves. Alex opened up a cave on the side of the mountain and that was what he planned on making his home. He didn't plan on staying around for too long, so there was no need for him to make a better place at all.

He spent the days learning about the sect and then practicing the techniques he had given to learn. He couldn't learn the Spiritual Conjunction technique without the pill just yet, so he began by learning the Spirit Reversal technique. This was an incredibly tough technique to learn that combined not just Qi but also spiritual energy into one technique to create the defensive technique. It was quite difficult to learn as well and would take a lot of time.

However, that period would absolutely be anything but a lot if someone else were to try and practice the same thing. Alex was confident he could completely learn this technique to the level of it being mere instinct in less than 5 years.

In fact, if he could find a way to do so, he would improve the technique using the Dao of Techniques as well.

Now that 2 days had passed since Alex came here, there were a few things he needed to get to. There were various items that the shield was supposed to provide him for joining, which he had yet to get.

He didn't care about the robes, but a nameplate would be pretty significant. Considering that all of the cities ran under the Blue Silk sect, having an identity belonging to the sect would provide him with a lot of opportunities. The other thing Alex needed to get was the list of 'conditions' that the sect master promised he would get for Alex. He needed to know what sort of conditions they were so that he could get to them as quickly as he could.

"What is this that you're practicing?" a voice spoke in his mind. "Feels weird."

"I'm sure because I killed him," Godslayer said. "Many of the gods had to be replaced because I killed them. The Saber God, I believe his Daoist Title was VioletMirage, was one of my original enemies. I vividly remember killing him."

"You do?" Alex asked in surprise. "I thought you didn't remember much from the time when you were fully mad."

"I don't remember anything during the period in which I did go more and more mad, but at the beginning when there wasn't as much madness, those memories are intact," Godslayer said. "And they are coming back to me slowly."

"I killed the Saber God, the Sword God, the Weapons god, and... the Artifact God. There were other Sages and Reverends that I did hunt down and kill. But there were two important ones that I can't recall if they died. I don't have memories of killing the two."

"Who are the two?" Alex asked curiously.

"One of the men was a Sword Sage and a Reverend of the Sword God. I believe his title was Purplerain. The other one was a man with a Dao of Death. I do not know his name. It may be hidden in my memories that will surface with time."

Alex slowly thought of the various ones. "You killed all those gods?" he asked.

"Those and many more," Godslayer said solemnly.

"Since this may be the same Saber God, do you know if he may have some special skills or techniques that he would pass down to his subordinates? There is a tomb of one of his Reverends that is going to open soon."

"They say he left behind great treasures there, but no one has been able to find it. I'm wondering if it may be something passed down from the Saber God instead. Like, maybe his actual Saber?"

"A Legacy Treasure of the Saber God would not be allowed to be left behind in such a tomb. People would raid it the moment they heard about it," Godslayer said. "As for techniques..."

Godslayer paused a bit as a weird memory surfaced in his mind. "The Saber God, and most of his sages I believe, were capable of replicating their treasures. This may be related to that."

"Replication technique?" Alex asked. Now that he thought about it, Sixghost was named as such because his sabers multiplied when he fought. "Maybe that is it. But why would such a treasure be hidden in a place where only Immortal Ascendants could enter?"

Godslayer had no words. "I do not know in that case," he said. "Since this was a Reverend and not the Saber God, it is possible that it has nothing to do with the Saber God at all."

That was true too. "I guess I will hopefully find out in a few years."
