Chapter 204 Aurora's Mother

After successfully applying to the Celestial Harmony Sect, Orion made his way back home, feeling a sense of excitement. He couldn't wait to begin his cultivation journey and explore everything the sect had to offer.

As he arrived at his home, he was greeted by his younger sister, who was eagerly waiting for him. "How did it go? Did you choose a sect?" she asked, her eyes shining with curiosity.

Orion smiled at her enthusiasm. "Yes, I did. I chose the Celestial Harmony Sect."

His sister's face lit up with excitement. "Wow, that's amazing! I'm so happy for you!"

Orion couldn't help but feel grateful for his sister's unwavering support. "Thank you. And the best part is, if I pass the entrance test, you'll be able to join the sect too."

His sister's eyes widened in surprise. "Really? That's incredible! I can't wait to join you there!"

Orion nodded, feeling a sense of pride and responsibility towards his sister. "But before that, I need to focus on passing the entrance test. It won't be easy, but I'm determined to succeed."

His sister looked at him with concern. "Is the test hard? Do you think you can pass it?"

Orion took a deep breath and considered her question carefully. He didn't want to worry his sister, but he also didn't want to make false promises. "Yes, it's going to be a bit of a challenge, but I have been training hard for it. I believe I have the skills and determination to pass."

His sister looked a bit relieved by his answer. "I'm sure you can do it. You're always so dedicated to your training."

Orion smiled at her encouragement. "Thank you. I will do my best."

After their conversation, the siblings proceeded to have dinner. They talked about their day, and Orion shared some of the things he had learned during his visit to the Celestial Harmony Sect. His sister listened intently, fascinated by his stories.

As they finished their meal, Orion excused himself and went to his room. He wanted to prepare himself mentally and physically for the entrance test the following day. He knew that he had to be in top condition if he wanted to succeed.

He sat down on his bed and took a deep breath, closing his eyes and focusing his mind. He began to cultivate his Primordial Qi, a type of energy that flowed through his body and allowed him to harness his inner strength.

As he meditated, he could feel the energy flowing through his body, filling him with a sense of calm and focus. He visualized himself successfully completing the entrance test, contracting a powerful beast and impressing the Celestial Harmony Sect's representatives.

He continued to cultivate his Qi for several hours, pushing himself to the limit and striving for perfection. He knew that every moment of preparation would be crucial in determining his success or failure in the test.

In the grand hall of the Winteria Clan, Aurora stood in front of her mother, the Matriarch. The room was adorned with beautiful ice sculptures and crystals, reflecting the natural beauty of the Ice element that the Winteria Clan was known for.

The Matriarch was a formidable figure, known for her wisdom and strength. She looked at Aurora with a mixture of pride and concern in her eyes. "My dear daughter, I am pleased to hear that you have chosen the Celestial Harmony Sect. It is a prestigious sect, and I believe it will help you cultivate your talent to its fullest potential."

Aurora nodded, feeling a sense of relief that her mother approved of her decision. "Yes, mother. I have been preparing myself for the entrance test, and I am determined to succeed."

The Matriarch's expression turned serious. "I have no doubt that you have the skill and determination to pass the test, but you must also be careful. The wilds around the sect's location are dangerous, and there are many powerful beasts that you must be prepared to face."

Aurora listened intently, taking in her mother's words. "I understand, mother. I have been training hard and have learned how to tame and cultivate Ice element beasts. I will do everything in my power to succeed."

The Matriarch smiled, a look of pride in her eyes. "I have no doubt that you will make us proud. Remember, you are not just representing yourself but also our clan. Do not forget your duty and honor as a Winteria."

Aurora nodded, feeling a sense of responsibility towards her clan. "I will not forget, mother. I will do my best to uphold our clan's honor."

The Matriarch placed a hand on Aurora's shoulder, her eyes filled with warmth and affection. "I have faith in you, my dear daughter. You have always been a remarkable young woman, and I am sure that you will succeed in whatever you set your mind to."

Aurora smiled at her mother's words, feeling a sense of comfort and reassurance. She knew that her mother's support and encouragement would give her the strength and courage to face the challenge.

As the Matriarch turned to leave, she suddenly paused and looked back at Aurora. "Aurora, I also heard that you have an interest in this boy named Orion."

Aurora was taken aback by her mother's sudden question, but she remained calm and composed. "Yes, I am interested in him, but not romantically. It's more about his power and potential," she replied, trying to hide her true feelings.

The Matriarch's interest was piqued, and she turned to face her daughter again. "Care to explain, my daughter? Why are you interested in his power and potential?"

Aurora took a deep breath before continuing her explanation to her mother. "It's just his talent level that makes him interesting, mother. It's the fact that his talent is so unique and mysterious."

The Matriarch raised an eyebrow, her interest clearly piqued. "Unique and mysterious? What do you mean?"

Aurora took a moment to gather her thoughts before continuing. "During the Awakening Ceremony, I noticed that his talent colour was different from everyone else's. It had a close resemblance to the colour of D-tier talent, so he was deemed as a D-tier talent."

The Matriarch nodded in understanding. "I see. But why is that so interesting?"

"Because his talent colour was not exactly the same as the typical D-tier talent colour. It was a clear white and different than usual grey of D-tier talent colour, and also from here on that it gets interesting," Aurora explained, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

Auroar then began to explain all the information about Orion that she has observed these past two days.
