Chapter 618: Arising Of Elders…
“Finally got impatient, huh? Just about time…” The gentle feminine voice rang out in the icy throne room as she slowly rose from her grand seat, her flowing white robes and hair trailing behind her, leaving icy trails on the ground below.
The figure was none other than Grand Elder Celestine, whose eyes were as calm as the pristine seas. The grand ice door before her opened with a loud crash as she walked out of the gate, the guards around her kneeling in absolute respect, before she turned her eyes upwards towards the golden pillar in the sky.
Immediately, steps of white ice bloomed from right about a step from her and quickly reeled towards the distant golden energy, as she took a step forward and gently began climbing with otherworldly charm.
But she wasn’t the only grand elder to be awakened…
“You’re sure he is the one, Vega?” Grand Elder Flaming Heart, a lanky man of about 2 meters in height, dressed in flowing crimson robes that seemed to ooze with flames, asked. His eyes seemed to spew out flames.
He stood in front of his flaming lava mountain, beside him none other than his son, Vega, the one who bullied Fluffy in the Martial God Hall…
“He is no doubt the one. His accomplishments in the past year have become quite the source of small gossip throughout both the inner and outer sects…” Vega replied.
“Even if he jumped hundreds of cultivations in a day, anyone who dares threaten my own will be condemned to burn in the deepest depths of hell…” Grand Elder Flaming Heart said with conviction as he rose from the ground with his son Vega, and they both shot into the distance…
It was a high mountain, and on it were two elders, clearly in deep thoughts as revealed by their creased eyebrows and their eyes in perfect focus. Before them was a game of mahjong, which captivated all of their attention.Silence reigned in the place, save for the gentle rustling of the air, but soon a pillar of energy soaring into the sky awakened them back to life as they focused on the distance, where the pillar of light was emanating from.
“I would have been shocked if I had not been to see the strange silence and tension that has been going on through the past months…” The words belonged to none other than Grand Elder Swordworth, who looked at the golden pillar of energy.
“He seemed to be a little capable, considering how much he riled up Celestine, and her going so far as to stop any invitation for him, and also planning to bury his name under the ground. That’s very strange of Celestine normally…” The other elder, a man with a strange flaming red mane around his neck, replied, and he was none other than Grand Elder Lion Heart.
“She had always had a problem with men, especially ones who still have their hearts aflame. And I would say, the young man really is hot-headed enough. Anyhow today goes, I’ll say two hot-headed people are finally going against each other…”
“A beautiful day awaits then, huh?” Swordworth said before they both took to the sky and disappeared into the distance.

“EVERY SECT MEMBER OF THE TEN THOUSAND TRANSFORMATION SECT IS TO MEET IN THE FORGOTTEN ARENA OF THE DEFIER IN AN HOUR FROM NOW…” An incredibly loud roar boomed through the entire Ten Thousand Transformation Sect, as the various inner sect disciples took to the air, and the outer sect disciples also quickly entered into the inner sect, rapidly heading towards the place where they had been commanded.
“Boss!” Kenji said, as Zeras turned his head to the side and saw a fat figure running towards him while breathing out like a dead dog.
Arriving before Zeras, he collapsed onto his knees, holding his back tightly.
“So… so… sorry, Boss. It’s just… it’s just that it has been centuries since I last ran that hard!!!!” Kenji said to him as the young man breathed out all the air around them before he was finally able to steady himself.
“I guessed you would be entering the sect like this, but I forgot to mention to you how it goes…”
“You have no need to bother yourself, Kenji. Irrespective of how it goes, I will be fine…”
“That’s the spirit, Boss. But I bet you don’t even know where the Forgotten Arena of the Defier is, and you have an hour to get there or your challenge will be canceled and you will be banned from entering the inner sect forever…”
“Huh?” Zeras couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow at such a law. He truly had no idea at all…
“This way, Boss, quickly…” Kenji said, as he ran with speed into the distance, which wouldn’t be any slower than a tortoise to Zeras. Then, Kenji suddenly felt a hand grab his shoulder, and then in an instant…
“AHHHHH!!” Kenji cried out in shock as he was lifted up, his head spinning and the world becoming a blur to him.
“Boss, how can you move so fast? You’re almost as fast as a Unicornoras!” Kenji declared, and Zeras gave him a reply.
“Simple. By spending more time training, instead of dreaming about females all day, and not praying for a miracle that will never happen every morning for centuries. Your devotion to those prayers of yours amazes me, Kenji…” Zeras replied to him as Kenji blushed hard.
And truly, Zeras was really amazed by the young man. Every time during the entire year he spent, once Zeras walked past Kenji’s door in the morning, he would always hear the sound of that strange prayer, and that occurred unfailingly for an entire year, almost like a broken cassette playing and playing endlessly.
“You don’t seem to me like a person who is risking all fame and image, Boss…” Kenji said, implying his calm and normal behavior.
“Because fame and image don’t matter, Kenji. All that matters is my time is limited, and I ought to be cultivating right now, which I’m not!”
