"Please, could you tell me where they are?" Zhang Tian asked of the old man.
The Lord of Lords tilted his head, "And what will you do with that information?" he asked.
"He is my friend, I need to help him, they look like they are in trouble," Zhang Tian said.
The Lord of Lords smiled as would a father smile upon his child, "I understand your worry and your fear for your junior brother, however, the distance between here and where he is, is grand and great. It would take you hundreds of years to reach it at your current level. Not to mention, you will not be of aid."
"I might not be as mighty as you, Lord of Lords, but I still take pride in my thousands of years of cultivation," Zhang Tian replied, clearly dissatisfied with being looked down upon.
The old man let out a small laugh, "I am not looking down on you, in fact you clearly are leagues above many cultivators the same level as you. I can see the way law is attaching itself to you, as if Law itself want to be part of your knowledge and power. However, the Sea of Demons is treacherous. In there, the moment you go under to the Sea of Demons and into the Dark Garden is where you will meet your mortality. Any cultivator would find themselves completely helpless and weak, nothing more than a slightly powerful mortal, which is not really anything here in the Beyond."
"..."
"Don't be too discouraged, I am not stopping you to help your junior brother, but I am stopping you from becoming a burden to him. Shen Bao is strong and resourceful, I've seen very few people capable of a fraction of what he had done with so little resources and those people are pillars of their own worlds. Not to mention I'm betting big on Shen Bao to discover the secrets of the Dark Garden and realize the truth of the Sea of Demons," he added.
"I see..."
"Then back to our topic, why worship what you do not believe in?" asked the Lord of Lords.
"I worship the heavens and the parents that had given me birth, as for you, I respect your power and effort that had given birth to the Lord of Lords,"
"I see," the Lord of Lords replied, "However, you gained favor and piqued my interest, so speak your mind what do you want?"
"My wish is far too grand and arrogant to be given by another," said Zhang Tian.
"The words you speak, if others were to hear it, they'll think you are looking down on me, but I think I know what you want," said the Lord of Lords.
"..."
"You want knowledge, understanding and the world's wisdom as your goal. I cannot give you that, for even if I had lived what most would think an endless life, I too know not everything under the machinations of heavens. Thus I cannot grant you your wish. However, I can help guide you in the proper path to seek it. Go down, train with the ways of the Lording Sun and earn your way into the grand library. Then some of your curiosity might be satisfied, but trust me you will come out with far more questions that you entered with," the Lord of Lords said.
"What about my junior brother?" Zhang Tian asked.
"Who do you think I am?" the Lord of Lords grinned.
"The Lord of Lords, the Lording Sun, and one of the mightiest of the Beyond.
"Then by my will, no grave harm shall befall Shen Bao as long as I am watching over him," he said.
Zhang Tian nodded and soon found himself back at the base of the mountain.
He stood up and went back to the group of cultivators he was with earlier since they didn't even move far away.
"You're back already?" asked the Banner Carrier.
"Yes," replied Zhang Tian.
"Have you met the Lord?" asked the Banner Carrier.
"I have," Zhang Tian replied.
"Lies," someone muttered from within the crowd, "If you had met the lord why are you the same as before, not to mention you didn't worship for more than a breath of time, stop trying to act all mysterious and important, newcomer," the man added with spite between his teeth.
The Banner Carrier was about to burst out at the man who just spoke, but Zhang Tian shook his head.
The leader thought for a second and said, "Follow me," then she disappeared.
"Go," old Fu said, "We'll wait here."
"I'll see you guys in a bit," I said as I stood up and simply pushed the cage's gate open.
The distance between the cage and the waterfall was about a dozen or so meters. It was nothing a mortal could ever dream of jumping. Since everyone was affected by the Sea of Demons's atmosphere everyone besides those who have inhuman strength could cross it.
As for me, it wasn't anything more than a single step forward and I was already at the other side of the waterfall.
A man carrying a plank was coming over and when he saw me already out of the cage he couldn't help but grumble under his breath.
"Let the others out, and guide them to the arena," the voice of the tribal leader sounded.
"You, meet me in the arena," she said.
I walked up between the high trees where many of the demon tribe were watching, some were also booing.
Clearly, we weren't very popular right now.
The woman was standing in the middle of the arena, holding a massive spiked mallet over her shoulder as if it didn't weigh anything.
"What is the meaning of this?" I asked.
"My sister said that you were strong, prove it and we will let you go, fight with all you got!" she said.
"That's not fair," I said shrugging.
"I told you, chieftain, these soft skins are nothing but cowards, we should have killed them," said a man whom I saw for the first time. He approached menacingly and stood at the rim of the arena.
Around his neck were dozens of small skulls of rodents. And in his hand was a staff that had the bones and fangs of beasts adorning it. He was fully painted in white and had red tattoo marks all over his body.
This must be the shaman of this village.
"If you find it unfair, I can use only one arm and not the weapon," she said.
"Chief!" the shaman said, he didn't seem to be too keen on giving me an advantage.
"Shut up! I need to see with my own eyes, my sister never lies," said the chieftain.
I smiled, "No, what I meant by unfair, I wasn't talking about myself," I said, "It is you who will perish if I were to be serious," I said.
The booing continued from everyone around us, and it looked like I hurt the pride of the chieftain.
She was angered, "Then don't blame me if you get flattened!" she said as she swung the mallet with enough force a gale wind blew outward of her swing.
"I'll let you have the first move!" she said.
And just as she finished her words, I took a step forward.
...
Everyone in the crowd was too stunned to continue booing.
I was already behind her, with Creeping Demise next to her neck.
"You just died."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
