Chapter 574: Zera’s Fate
“Now, now, now, tell me, what should I do with this one?” Grand Elder Celestina asked as she walked back to her throne, moving her gaze between Zeras and the Undying Narelle.
“It’s not undoubtable that you have truly passed the test of our ten thousand transformation sect, fair and square, and I have fully agreed to it, and labeled it so.
But I have heard tales of you, tales of your strength, reducing geniuses of even 1st grade clans to nothing.
Acing all three tests, as easy as taking out a sword from its sheath.
There were also some unsavory tales too, but I think they aren’t true based on your mannerism, or I don’t know if you’re hiding them due to your regression. Still, the tales spoke of a very talented and undeniably strong cultivator.
But now, you’re just a boy, whose only specialty is his looks managing to not make me irritated at first sight, something very abnormal…” She said as Zeras furrowed his eyebrows.
She finds the sight of the opposite sex irritating!? Just what type of psycho is he even dealing with here?
“Turning you out of the sect would stain the reputation of the Ten thousand transformation sect, and will only create unnecessary rumors once more, or others saying it was really due to the lack of men syndrome that their forefathers are suffering for is what made us turn you away, while using the regression as a facade.
They might even say we are the one that regressed you so we could send you away. Those are too many stains to bear…” Grand Elder Celestina said, and Zeras couldn’t help but notice something abnormal about the ten thousand transformation sect.They cared too much for their reputation!
Undying Narele had also almost turned him away before, but due to the sect’s reputation, she had reluctantly accepted.
And now this lady was also talking about reputation. Why is reputation so important in such a dog-eat-dog world…
“Let me leave your fate to her…” She ultimately decided as Zeras couldn’t help but turn her attention to Undying Narelle.
“What do you say, young Narelle? Should he be sent away or retained? Your answer will be my final judgment…” She concluded as Undying Narelle turned to look at Zeras, and then the purring fluffy in her arms, before turning back to Grand Elder Celestine.
“I would plead to the sect to retain him.” She said with a bow as Grand Elder Celestine smiled.
“Finality. But may I know the reason why?” She asked with curiosity flickering in those icy cold blue pupils of hers that oozed with coldness.
“It is just as you said, Elder. The stains that will be brought from his eviction would be slightly difficult to bear.
And I also reasoned that, since he said he could achieve the Undying Realm cultivation in the future, and the regression is nothing but a blessing in disguise.
Why don’t we give him a chance to prove his words? For now, he will be demoted to the stage of an Outer Rank Disciple. If he later was able to reach the Pseudo-Universe rank before a 100 years. Then he would be fully accepted into the sect, and become an Inner rank disciple like the rest of his mate. That is my request, Grand Elder Celestine…” She concluded, much to Zera’s quietness through the whole ordeal.
But suddenly a strange scene occurred, as Fluffy suddenly jumped out of Undying Narelle’s arms and walked towards Zeras before climbing on him and sitting at his shoulder.
“Good. I fully support your conclusion. Then hand him over to those who are responsible for the outer sect disciples…” She said as she rose up from her throne and entered into the glass door just behind the throne, her eyes not for once looking at Zeras at all, even as she decided his fate for the possibly hundred years or even more to come.
“Follow me…” Undying Narelle said as she returned back to whence they came from, and Zeras followed behind her…
Arriving outside, they saw that the majority of the Uniconoras had already disappeared with just one remaining, and quickly Undying Narelle climbed up, with Zeras also climbing up a moment later. Soon, the Uniconoras took off, but Zeras couldn’t help but keep his gaze on the two men who acted as guards, giving firm eye contact with them, even as they disappeared into the distance.
————————-
“How would you describe the ten thousand transformation sect, do you still find it as beautiful as before or as it was described…” Undying Narelle asked, as Zeras looked beneath the horse at the evergreen landscape, adorned with female disciples, in twos and threes.
Smiles and happiness on their faces. There was no pain, no anger, no resentments, nor fear in their expression.
Something that was rare in the upper realms, where males rule dominate, and females are more subservient. Emotions like that in a lady were harder to see.
“It is still as beautiful as ever. A haven for females…” Zeras replied as Undying Narelle turned to look at him with furrowed eyebrows before turning away.
“Even though you have regressed in age too, you sound strangely mature, compared to the you before…” She said as Zeras shrugged. He wouldn’t say he wasn’t mature.
Perhaps now, he was just a little more receptive. And trying to see very well before judging…
“Is it not a haven for men too?” She asked as Zeras turned to look at where he was looking, which was actually a place where some males were mixed in with the females.
“It is not a haven for men. Most men that I have seen are acting as guards, which might sound reasonable to some.
But look at those young men. Their eyes, it’s not like the females… It’s like forced servitude…” Zeras concluded what he saw In those young men.
“It Is a female sect not a male sect…” Undying Narelle reminded him before the Unicornoras diced down on a smaller group of mountain.
