"System, isn't the rate decreasing too much considering the increase of the system points needed?" Ace couldn't help but ask, only for the system to reply coldly.

"You may be the host, but please remember that everything the system does has a reason. If you have any questions towards the pricing, the system would kindly increase the price."

Ace could only sigh and give up for now as he closed the lucky spin panel, considering the mere amount of system points he had now, he would be broke with just a few attempts in which he might not obtain anything useful to him.

"What's the matter, you seem pretty dejected even though your strength increased exponentially." Brimstone couldn't help but ask in bitter laughter as jealousy arose within him, how was Ace so talented despite his young age?

Even when speaking to someone like him who was well-known in the cultivation world, his experience wasn't even enough to understand someone from the younger generation for the first time.

In his life, there were only a few people he couldn't see through and three of them were from the younger generation. This included the Sword Scholar who rarely shows himself and Cody who has never revealed his true strength.

Today was the fifteenth day since the opening of the Sword Tower and two figures stepped out of the Sword Tower at the same time.

The Sword Scholar, Arden and the Illusionary sword master, Cody.

The first thing that happened when both of them stepped out of the Sword Tower was them staring into each other's eyes, battle sparks flying in the air as they unsheathed their swords.

But before the fight before them could break out, Arden's father descended from the sky and easily neutralised their sword aura which was fighting in the air.

On the other hand, Cody's master appeared for the first time as he appeared out of thin air. Only Arden's father noticed his arrival through the distortions in the space and the quick successions of concealment he did with just his thoughts.

This was a man who he revered. He was one of the few people who was recognised to be a Sword Supreme that isn't affiliated with the Sword Court besides him.

The Sword Masters present may not notice this, but in terms of just strength, Cody's master was actually suppressing Arden's father without much effort even though the age difference between them was only a few years which wouldn't matter much at their current stage and age.

"I'm honoured to meet you in this life of mine." Arden's father took the initiative to greet the sword master who was on opposing sides with him.

Even though he might be slightly weaker and he recognises this fact, he was sure that Cody's master wouldn't want to cause a commotion as well. As for the battle between their son and disciple, it would take place in the future when the time comes.

"To think that I would actually meet the Sword Supreme, Cloud in such an unexpected location and situation." Cody's master was the Sword Supreme Thoran.

Both of them were figures that could destroy this entire city in just a single exchange, which was why both sides decided to settle this matter briefly as they asked their son and disciple the same question, "Who was the first person to leave the Sword Tower?"

To their dismay, it was the third person who the Sword Envoy decided was worthy to become their competitor, the young boy Ace who everyone had underestimated. To make matters worse, none of the crowd present noticed Ace leaving the Sword Tower two days ago.

But of course, what happens next had nothing to do with Ace as Brimstone suggested for him to take a few elixir formulas and blueprints and some life experience which can help the alchemists and blacksmiths in his sect grow up to the sixth grade blacksmith.

As for a seventh grade blacksmith, even the Lim family had none and in the Astral Court, there were only a few seventh grade blacksmiths and one eighth grade blacksmith.

Besides that, Brimstone also willingly gave Ace a cultivation tool which might be useful for his disciples as well. It was a crystal which contained the entire life experience of a beast tamer who was at least in the seventh grade, making him a beast tamer capable of capturing a strong demon beast in the Four Domains realm.

"Thank you for the gifts, senior Brimstone, but it seems that I would have to take my leave now." Ace thanked Brimstone sincerely before taking his leave after Brimstone nodded his head.

After Ace left, Brimstone couldn't help but sigh, it seems that this would be the best for Serena as well.

But of course, the story between Ace and Serena had only just begun. It would only start when they meet again in the future, somewhere they would never expect to meet.

"So, how was your time here?" Lucifer appeared the moment Ace located his way back to the forest and ensured that Ace was alone without anyone following him.

"It was great, in just two to three months of cultivation from now, it seems that I'll step into the Martial Apprentice realm with a seamless cultivation base.

"I'm talking about that girl by the name Serena, I don't know if you noticed it, but she has already developed feelings for you since a long time ago." Lucifer chuckled as he opened up a portal and stepped into it with Ace following closely behind.

"How can I not know about that? But I have no way to reciprocate her feelings right now, not when I'm burdened and chained by the shackles of life." Ace sighed and closed his eyes to regain his mental state of tranquilness before answering.

"I understand, but what about when you have strength to change fate as you wish in the future?" Lucifer asked once again.

"I don't wish to think that far for now." Ace answered, dismissing Lucifer from his room and began the process of cultivation with the bag of cultivation elixirs Brimstone had given him before his departure."

Swallowing the first elixir from the bag, Ace started his cultivation process as he sent out one final message to Lucifer.

"Do not send any messages to me until I contact you again."

Cidd received the message but despite the numerous questions he had to ask, he remembered the contents of the message as he made a decision.

It was about time he prepared to step into the Martial Spirit realm which was also known as the Transcendent realm over the next few months while formatting a entry test for the new batch of disciples.

*Whirr*

Spirit energy gathered into Ace as he started to form the seventh layer of his foundation tower.

In these three months, the Nirvana Sect has already become well-known in the fragmented cultivation world. Maybe not to the entire world yet, but in the Nascent mountain area, all of the neighbouring cities knew about the Nirvana Sect.

Most families would also send the elites in their family to enroll in the Nirvana Sect as well, but if there was one thing that made everyone worship the Nirvana Sect, it was the fact that they have cleared out all the bandits or evil forces in the area.

Not only that, they were constantly extending their reach towards the Holy Land of the cultivation world, they were constantly striving to strengthen their foundation.

Just half a month ago, their elder Cidd defeated a middle stage Martial Spirit cultivator from one of the evil forces without much difficulty.

Most of the disciples have also stepped into the peak stage Martial Master realm. As for Lancelot and Ray, they have both stepped into the Great Martial Master realm one step ahead of the other disciples.

Now, the sect was ready for the annual sect competition that would be taking place in less than a month's time and all they lacked was their sect master who is still away.

"Lucifer, please bring me back to the sect."
