Chapter 73: Mystic Fire Sect

The just-risen sun shone softly on the Rewa city streets, bringing with it a flurry of early-morning activity.

After the breakthrough, Kritos quickly arrives in his room through the window. As he didn't sleep in the night, Kritos feel quite tired.

He remembers that today he has to visit the Clan practice arena for the training. Captain Mitchell instructed them to regularly practice twenty moves of the Earth Swallowing technique for seven days. After seven days, their bodies will adapt to digest the Stone powder.

However, Kritos felt that just in one day, his body had already been modified. 

The Blue crescent moon physique has assisted Kritos to digest the Stone power and also helps his body to adapt it quickly.

Kritos thinks he wouldn't need to practice twenty moves of the earth swallowing technique to achieve success in the earth swallowing technique. His Blue Crescent moon physique already assisted him.

Hence, he decided to rest for a few more hours. Kritos don't like to train or cultivate with a tired body.

Once again, Kritos closes his eyes and drifts into a peaceful place.

Tiny specks of dust seemed to dance in the shaft of afternoon sunlight that slanted through Kritos room window.

"Aah…"

Kritos lazily opened his closed eyelids. He saw the sourcing sun from his window.

Upon waking up again from the bed, Kritos brain replays the last few scenes of his dreams.

In the last scene of his dream, Kritos saw a man with eight wings talking to him.

"The Human race doesn't have the potential to challenge the rulers of the cosmos. You may have the best potential among humans. But compared to the entire Cosmos, you are nothing." 

"But I had killed many devas and Blood demons. They are nothing in front of me. Let me go; I will show you the ultimate power of a human."

"Haha… you think you have the capability to kill Devas."

"Boy, you are on the wrong road. The real Devas--------

***

It was one of the two scenes which Kritos remember after waking up.

As for the second scene, he vaguely remembers that the boy in his dream changes his race from human to something else.

He drank a red liquid substance, after which the boy in his dream experienced a transformation.

Kritos rarely found a change in his body. But he can feel that the boy is no longer a human. On his back, four wings are continuously sprouting.

***

After arousing from the bed, Kritos left his room. 

From his parents, he learns that Grandfather invited him to the Clan hall.

Kritos could not be anything but puzzled when he heard the Grandfather had called him. 

" Maybe he heard something about tomorrow's incident."

After Kritos reached the clan, he saw his grandfather talking with somebody.

When Kritos saw Lakhan, he respectfully bowed. " Grandfather"

Lakhan couldn't help but praise him inside. In terms of mentality, his grandson is more mature than anyone.

Lakhan has observed his grandson throughout the last two years. Sometimes he behaves like a naive and ignorant boy, but if any closely observe him, they will discover the true Kritos.

'How can a late one be innocent? In history, all the late ones were clever like a fox.' Lakhan thought

He was pleased with his grandson's demeanor. 

Lakhan didn't mince words, straightforwardly saying," I heard you rejected the joining offer of Captain Mitchell. Are you sure about it? It's a dream of every youth to get an offer as you."

'So, Captain Mitchell had visited grandfather to convince him about joining the force.' Kritos thought

"Sorry, Grandpa, but I don't like to be restrained by the laws and rules of the Army. I wish to go on an adventure and explore the world with my own eyes." Kritos replied

Significantly few youths thought about going to the adventure where death is common. 

Compared to it, joining a sect is more beneficial and safe for an individual where you could easily get the techniques and skill by just displaying the strength.

Mostly those cultivators who don't have an option other than risking their life for strength would depart for adventure.

"Adventure! You know what you are talking about, with your status as a late one, you can easily join a sect and peacefully cultivate in a good environment. Adventurers have to daily risk their lives for the power."

In the Sincromas world, there are many inheritances left by the experts. When an expert approaches the end of their life. They mostly prefer to make a domain where they store their treasures and techniques so that their legacy is never lost in time. However, it's not easy to obtain them. Some experts set some rules regarding obtaining their legacy, like age requirements, cultivation requirements, and many more.

To obtain the strength through the inheritance of an expert, some youth depart on an adventure to find them. However, many sects and clans are also searching for the Inheritance Domain. 

Even if an adventurer found an inheritance domain first, they have to allow others to enter into it.

On the other hand, a sect never allows anyone other than its sect members to enter into the domain.

Kritos knows the risk of being an adventure. Still, the benefits of being an adventurer are huge.

Sect! 

In the sect, you are prohibited from taking any treasure obtained in the inheritance domain by yourself. Sect masters may award them with something for their excellent work, but still it will not be good as the treasure obtained in the domain.

"Grandpa, by only becoming an adventure, I can experience the life of a cultivator. A dream does not become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination, hard work and risk. Grandma, he who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in his life." Kritos solemnly said.

Hearing the bold words of his grandson, Lakhan thought for a second and then stared at his grandson.

"Ok, if you are so willing to become an adventure, then I can't force you to join the army." Lakhan sighs and then takes out a box which was lying beside him.

"Still, I want you to accept this box."

****

In a mountain valley about ten kilometers away from Stone Door gate.

"Boss, Franklin of Stone mountain, was taken in by someone else." A man reported.

"What are their origins?" A man with crimson red hair furrowed his brow. He was called Venerable Tin. He had more than one hundred and fifty subordinates and was one of the major powers in this area.

"Haven't found out yet," This man said with slight terror. Seeing the anger on Venerable Tin's face increase, he hurriedly explained, "We don't know where this bunch of people came out off. There aren't many, but they aren't weak. When they were taking down Franklin, there were only a few dozen people."

"A few dozen?" Venerable Tin's expression changed. "Franklin should also have about sixty-something people, and isn't Franklin rank two core mage?"

Rank 2 core mage definitely was first-rate experts in the Fallen Mountain. In battle, the effect of an expert like Franklin was enormous, he could take on seven or eight core Realm experts by himself.

The man raised his head to look at his leader, seeing the anger on Leader's face decrease, his heart relaxed slightly. "The battle finished very quickly, and did not leave traces."

"Does this group have some powerful talisman?" Venerable Tin pondered. He was clear about Franklin's strength. He had wanted to conquer Stone Mountain a long time ago, but he had not acted due to his fear of Franklin's strength. He had more than one hundred and fifty people under his command, but no one was rank two core realm. Suddenly hearing that Franklin had been defeated, he naturally became wary.

Did the group also have Rank 2 core realm experts?

If it was like that, then it was terrible! It meant the other side had at least two rank two core realm experts. The other possibility was the group had a powerful talisman so terrifying that even Franklin had to surrender.

No matter which possibility it was, it was not good news to him.

If it was possible, he wanted to immediately take his group and leave behind this place. With the power he had, there were not many that dared to target him.

However, when he thought about the things inside the cave, he gave up on the thought of escaping.

That thing was really too important to him!

Venerable Tin was not a person that did not have brains. He was very clear that once the group had digested Franklin's power, their own strength would quickly increase. The next target would definitely be them.

After thinking for a while, he raised his head and said in a deep voice, "Call the Three Brothers of Sloppy Mountain for the Meeting."

Mystic Land!

It was a place that is isolated from the Sincromas world due to some reason.

This whole land is ruled by a sect called Mystic Fire Sect.
