Chapter 173 Ch-173: Divine Beasts? Celestial Sword Sect

RUMBLE

Xiao Mo and the sect master were startled as the entire sect began to shake and rumble.

"What's happening?" Xiao Mo exclaimed, glancing at the sect master, who wore a puzzled expression. The sect master, with a furrowed brow, headed outside, and Xiao Mo quickly followed suit.

"What's that?" Xiao Mo mumbled, observing the treasure pagoda. A beam of golden light shot out from its top, turning the sky above the sect into a dazzling golden hue. The sect master squinted in amazement.

"Sect master, any idea what's going on?" Xiao Mo inquired, perplexed as he had never witnessed such an event with the treasure pagoda before.

"I'm just as clueless as you are. This is the first time I've seen something like this in the treasure pagoda," the sect master replied, nonchalantly shrugging his shoulders. He sensed no malicious intent from the constant illumination of the golden beam in the sky.

"Could it be because of Wang Ming?" Xiao Mo recalled the young man his projection encountered in the lower worlds, the one who completed all 100 floors.

"Wang Ming?" the sect master asked, confused, having never heard of this name before.

"Yes, the guy I mentioned earlier, the one who conquered all 100 floors," Xiao Mo explained.

"Oh, right. It could be. I've never seen anyone complete all 100 floors, not even previous sect masters. The records only mention the challenges, not what happens after completion. Even I couldn't manage it," the sect leader admitted. Xiao Mo, the surprised elder, nodded in understanding.

"So, this might be the result of completing all 100 floors," the sect leader concluded.

"Supreme Elder, you mentioned he was favored by the heavenly laws, right?" the sect leader inquired after a brief silence, prompting Xiao Mo to respond with a nod.

"Give me the details," the sect leader requested, and Xiao Mo explained, causing the sect leader to take a deep breath.

"He must be someone of formidable existence from the past or someone who inherited a powerful legacy. Otherwise, how could someone from the lower worlds possess such a high-ranked technique?" the sect leader mused, considering that even many people didn't have ancient rank techniques.

"You mentioned he also had some kind of pupil technique, right? I think it might be higher than ancient rank, perhaps even mythic rank," the sect leader suggested, making Xiao Mo's eyes widen in shock.

"Do you think he could be a divine beast? I didn't sense anything from him that could connect him to divine beasts," Xiao Mo added.

"Could be, who knows? Most powerful pupil techniques belong to divine beasts, and maybe he hasn't awakened his bloodline. Anyway, it will take him time to ascend," the sect leader shrugged, drawing from his encounters with similar potent pupil techniques that often belonged to divine beasts. He had a hunch that Wang Ming might be one of them.

"I see," Xiao Mo mumbled.

"It's good you gave him the sect token; we'll have a strong cultivator in the future," the sect leader praised Xiao Mo, smiling. Acquiring someone as talented as Wang Ming was a significant gain for them. Engaged in his own thoughts, he didn't notice Xiao Mo's strange look.

"Uh, sect master, he didn't agree to join," Xiao Mo said with a wry smile.

"Huh?!" the sect leader exclaimed in shock, looking at Xiao Mo with surprise after hearing his words.

"Did you forget to mention our sect's status in the Upper Heaven to him?" the sect leader asked, giving Xiao Mo a disapproving look. Xiao Mo's eyebrows twitched, sensing the sect leader's concern that he might have overlooked such crucial information in his excitement over finding a talented disciple.

"I did inform him," Xiao Mo clarified.

"Then, what's the problem?" Xiao Mo questioned, aware of how coveted their sect was, and it was unusual for someone to refuse a direct offer from the Supreme Elder.

"Eh, Sect Master, he is a Dual Cultivator," the elder said with a wry smile. The moment the sect leader heard this, he was stunned, and then his expression darkened. He understood the implications of Dual Cultivators and was surprised at how proficient Wang Ming was in the Dao of Sword despite being one.

"Hmph, so what? We have many females in the sect. If I offer rewards, they would be more than willing to be with him," the sect leader dismissed with a casual wave. Ignoring Xiao Mo's weird look, he turned to gaze at the tower.

"Sigh, this is going to cause a commotion; look, the disciples are already gathering there," the sect leader pointed outside. The treasure pagoda, initially with very few disciples, now attracted them like moths to light due to the radiant glow emanating from the tower.

Outside , a few moments ago

The disciples of the Celestial Sword Sect, going about their tasks, were startled when they felt the sect shake for a few seconds.

"Hey, what the hell was that?" asked a disciple, but before getting a reply, his eyes widened when he saw the next scene: a golden light shooting out from the treasure pagoda, lighting the sky in a brilliant gold.

"Hey, what the hell is that light?" said a female disciple with astonishment in her voice. Despite being an older disciple, she had never witnessed something like this in all her years.

"Look, it's coming from the treasure pagoda! Let's go and check," said another disciple. The disciples who were idling around or in the middle of their tasks hurried towards the treasure pagoda, and after some time, most disciples gathered at the entrance of the pagoda.

The disciples were a bit taken aback, seeing this scene for the first time, and were confused about why it occurred until a disciple among the crowd shouted.

"Hey, look over there!" the disciple who shouted pointed his finger toward the 100th floor, which was bathed in a golden glow. The disciples all saw this, their pupils constricting in shock, mouths agape.

"What the hell, why is the 100th floor lit up?" asked a disciple in disbelief.

"It couldn't be, could it?" asked another disciple nervously. A nearby disciple replied with a gulp.

"I think it is exactly what you're thinking. I think someone completed all the floors of the treasure pagoda," the disciple said, nervously swallowing saliva, while others who heard him were initially in disbelief and then broke out into an uproar.

"What! Which disciple completed the treasure pagoda?" shouted a disciple.

"I think it could be a Core disciple," said another disciple in the crowd.

"No, do you think disciples could do it? I think it was an Elder of the sect," another older disciple among the crowd said, and some thought about it, finding it reasonable.

"I think it is the sect master," said another disciple, which made the most sense. However, their eyes widened, and jaws almost fell to the ground when they saw the next scene.

In the sky, some golden texts started to form, and when they read it, they were in disbelief.

Wang Ming, Lower World

"What the hell!" everyone exclaimed when they saw this. They weren't shocked about the name, but the fact that someone from the lower world managed to complete all 100 floors, a feat even the previous sect masters failed. They knew the kind of trial they had to face and rubbed their eyes to check if they misread the text.

"Wang Ming, who the hell is this?" shouted a disciple.

"Damn, how can someone from those lower world trash be able to complete this?" said a disciple, a bit angry. Many looked down on the lower world, considering them destitute and as frogs living in a well.

"Heavens, if he manages to ascend, he will be a powerhouse," said a beautiful female in shock, covering her mouth with her hands.

"Wang Ming, huh? That guy is lucky. If the tower showed his face, some might want to cut the grass before it grew," said another disciple in a serious voice.

"I'm pretty sure news will reach the other sects as well," said another disciple, to which the others nodded in agreement.

"Everyone, what the hell are you doing here? Don't you have anything better to do? Leave this place this instant!" Everyone shuddered upon hearing the voice of the Supreme Elder who was being followed by the sect lader and hastily left without a word. Xiao Mo sighed and gazed at the letter in the sky

"This is going to be a problem, Sect Master. People from the other sects will probably get the news within a few days and might come to your sect for information," the Supreme Elder, Xiao Mo, said, looking back at the Sect Master, who remained calm.

"Hmph, if they come, so what? I will not say anything," the Sect Master snorted. He understood how other sects also coveted talents like Wang Ming to enhance their sect's standing. Even though he wasn't sure if Wang Ming would join, he had no intention of sharing information with other sects to prevent his rivals from acquiring such a talented individual from the lower heavens.
