3. A Breakthrough and a Princess

Since Orval's Golden Core was far more powerful compared to a normal person, he would need to use either an incredible amount of time or a special method. He really did not feel like spending anymore time his current realm, so all he had to do now was decide on his method.

He summoned Burlesque to see what the best method for him to breakthrough was.

[Name: Orval Emerald (Creator and Master)

Current Cultivation: Infinite Extreme Golden Core

Current Art: All Infinite Scriptures

Talent: Infinite

Potential: Galaxy Creation (due to current world highest realm that can be achieved is Rebirth Realm)

Recommended Art: Current art is best recommended

Recommended Breakthrough Method: Infinite Sky Sword Method]

After understanding the best method, he began to circulate his qi in regard to the 'Infinite Sky Sword Method'. After a half hour, a huge sword appeared in the grotto heaven sky above his head. The sword continually collected more and more qi, until it could hold no more. Then at the tip of the sky sword all the qi that was collect began to condense into a sharp cone shaped needle. Without hesitation, Orval brought the huge sky sword down on himself. The sword moved swiftly and came down, passing through his body as if it was not there, slashing through the Golden Core.

The golden core began to shine brighter and brighter, when suddenly, it exploded. What replaced the golden core, was a small soul shaped like Orval. It was full of colors looking like the beautiful night sky.

'Finally, I've broken through to Soul Creation Realm. I can tell my strength has increased exponentially.' Thought Orval. Now he just had to stabilize his realm, then he would check on the others.

Unknown Location in the Universe

The hooded God was still throwing around what looked like random colors, it was as if he was a painter, and he was creating a masterpiece.

"Yes, Yes, its starting to finally take form" said the God with excitement. "Soon the greatest form of entertainment will be created." There was a terrifying and creepy smile on his face.

In front of him was a giant ball of color, if anyone else where to see this they would be confused as to what this was supposed to be.

Glass Planet, Tempest Continent, Royal Capital Tempest Void City

In the palace of Tempest Void City, the Emperor was sitting on his throne, looking down at his ministers. The Emperor was a very powerful man who long ago Reached the Rebirth Realm. He was strong enough to have united the entire continent. His Tempest Void City was a powerhouse sect that only recruited the best of the nobles in the entire continent.

"Everyone, it is time to hold the sect competitions once again. Each one of you has your designated areas to supervise, and as such you need to inform the various sects that they either need to participate or supply a generous amount of materials. The time will be 10 years from now, and will be held here in the royal capital." Stated the Emperor, with a tone of power and authority.

"BY THE WILL OF THE EMPEROR! LONG LIVE THE EMPEROR!" shouted everyone present in unison. Then without hesitation they all vanished like fleeting shadows. Only one person was left. A beautiful and well-proportioned girl.

"Father, in my area there is a sect called the Emerald Gem Sect. As you know they are a very small sect who could never afford to pay up so many materials and it would be a waste of time to have them come here just to lose immediately." Said the princess with a frown.

The Emperor looked down at his beloved daughter. She was very powerful for her age, having reached Nascent Soul Realm at only 18, which has lead to her looking down on others too much.

"My dear Iris, we still need to extend the options. We cannot exclude those who are too weak or poor, otherwise we will always be making exceptions. Also, in the past the Emerald Gem Sect was a powerhouse in its own right, you never know what will happen in the future. Now go." Stated the Emperor calmly and informatively.

"Yes father" Iris said as she vanished on the spot, in a gust of wind.

Emerald Gem Sect

It's been a month since Orval had successfully broken through to Soul Creation Realm. He has now stabilized his cultivation. During this time in seclusion, he instructed Burlesque to start rebuilding the sect starting with the inner sect.

Also, during this period of time all the elders and sect leaders that were in seclusion, have officially broken through and come out of seclusion. The sights of the new buildings were astonishing to say the least. The alchemy elder and inner disciples moved into the new Infinite Alchemy Tower, the Array Elder and inner disciples moved into the Infinite Array and Formation Manor, the beast taming elder moved into the Infinite Beast Cave, and the talisman elder moved into the Infinite Talisman Pavilion. The Sect Leader and Vice Sect Leader moved into the new Emerald Gem Sect Hall. Each of these locations had mini heaven grottos, none of which are as impressive as the one at Orval's palace. During this time, still no one was able to get into the Infinite Legacy Pagoda.

Now that he has stabilized his cultivation it was now time for Orval to go out and speak with his parents and the elders. He called Susie and told Burlesque to have all the elders and sect leaders to meet him at the pagoda.

When Orval and Susie arrived at the pagoda all the elders and sect leaders were already there.

"Thank you for meeting me. I'm sure you have all noticed the changes in the sect. This is only the start, soon this area will be for core disciples, the current outer section will be for inner disciples, and then will will expand outside of our current walls to create a new outer sect area. This will also allow us to create an area for outsiders to visit." explained Orval. "Next we will go into the pagoda."

As they walked towards the pagoda the doors suddenly opened. When they walked in the scene was particularly amazing. The first floor of the pagoda was pure white, with only a the black book floating in the middle of the room. The room was large enough to fit hundreds of thousands of people.

"This is the first floor of Infinite Legacy Pagoda. From here depending on your cultivation realm will allow you to access different floors of the pagoda. Each level is a heavens grotto with different opportunities for everyone each time they go in." explained Burlesque.

Everyone was surprised when they heard this and could not wait to try it out.

"Looks like we have a guest, we should head to the gate to receive them." informed Orval.

With a snap of his fingers everyone present disappeared and reappeared in the blink of an eye at the sect gate. All the elders and leaders were surprised at what just happened but did not have the time to think about it since a group of people suddenly landed in front of the sect gate.

"Attention Emerald Gem Sect! Princess Iris von Tempest has graced you with her presence. Everyone needs to get out here and greet her and kneel on your worthless knees!" shouted the young arrogant looking boy to the side of the Princess.

Everyone kneeled down. "Greetings to the Princess" they all said in unison. Only one did not kneel down and that was Orval. This surprised everyone from both sides, and it especially surprised and angered the arrogant young boy who originally gave the order.

"Why are you not kneeling down, you worthless piece of garbage!" shouted the blonde boy angrily. He began to exude a great pressure towards Orval, this was the pressure of a Nascent Soul Realm.

"Tch" Orval clicked his tongue. To say the least this pressure was very underwhelming, as he was expecting more from a Nascent Soul Realm. He wave his hand and dispelled the pressure, then he began to circulate his own qi. He sent a mass of pressure towards the entire opposing group, bringing not only the young boy, but the entire group to their knees.

"Now I don't really want to fight, but I don't like when people order me around or insult my family." said Orval with a cold stern voice. "I will release the pressure if everyone can agree not to continue with the terrible attitude."

"We agree and I promise, not only will this never happen again, but I will also punish Abel thoroughly." explained the beautiful Princess. "We only came here to give out the orders of the Emperor."

As Orval lessened his pressure the group slowly got up. During this time the members of his sect just kept quiet as they were completely terrified of what was going on. The princess was surprised, she never expected something like this would happened and that there was a person this powerful hidden in such a small sect. It made her excited.

"Thank you for your leniency, ummm…" said the princess.

"Orval, Orval Emerald. I am the son of the Sect Leader and Vice-Sect Leader." Orval explained.

"Thank you Little Sect Leader Orval. I am here on behalf of my father, the Emperor, to inform you that in 10 years we will hold the sect competition. Now if you do not wish to participate you can also pay an appropriate amount of materials and resources. Personally, I hope you choose to participate." Explained Iris.

"Princess Iris, we would be happy to join in on the competition." chimed in Sect Leader Luke. "We will send our best disciples, as to not dishonor the Emperor."

"There will be no need. I alone will participate in the competition on behalf of our sect." stated Orval, with a huge smile on his face.

He then looked at the princess directly in her eyes and said while smirking"It'll be fun. Hopefully, you can entertain me long enough."
