Freakish Thing
[Ding!]
As Blade berated Chu Peng, a system prompt appeared in his vision.
[Congratulations on completing an appointed mission]
[Description-: Reach the Martial Sovereign realm in three years]
[Completion score-: Perfect]
[Reward-: System Upgrade, 30,000 System points, Profound-Grade Defense Treasure]
[Does the host wish to acquire the rewards now]
"Oh, I've not gotten time to see the rewards after upgrading to level eight, yet here I can upgrade to level nine..?" Blade leisurely stated. But, he wasn't planning to take the system upgrade, at least, not at the moment. Firstly...
Urgh!
The intent from Blade's eyes intensified as Chu Peng's willpower shattered and he fell unconscious. A light breeze stopped his body from falling into the pond once more as it carried his body to the side of the pool...
Thereafter, slowly exiting Blade's chest was the origin-grade katana that floated in the air before penetrating deep into Chu Peng's chest.
"Now, accept the rewards!" Blade ordered.
With Chu Peng embedded in the ground via the use of his katana, even if Chu Peng re-awakened with ill intentions, the katana will immediately devour the blood in his body. As a regular human, he'll need to rely on the luck of all of his previous lives to survive that state!
Argh!
Immediately thereafter, Blade gritted his teeth. No matter what, this was painful. The higher the level, the more pain he underwent. But, the rewards were also equally great.
Right after this, his soul, willpower, and comprehension speed would all face great improvements so what was this little pain?
Thinking like this, Blade was afraid that he'll begin to enjoy the pain... He might or may have already become a masochist..!

Heavenly Celestial Sect... The meeting hall... A dark and gloomy aura permeated the air as the expressions of the sect's elders, sect leader, and overseers were extraordinarily contorted and constantly frowning.
"So I can assume that most if not all of you have already heard or may have been present to see the actions of that Limitless Sky Sect Young Holy Child."
Suddenly, the Sect Leader's voice reverberated throughout the palace hall. His aloof azure eyes seemed to have created the skies and stars. Like a detached immortal, he peered down at the several gazes of Elders of his Heavenly Celestial Sect.
"Things have become troublesome. The Holy Lands will open in possibly a few years. If our disciples are to go against that child named Blade, they'd need to be at least infinitely close to the martial sovereign realm or maybe already in the martial sovereign realm... Hmm, Blade himself might be a Martial Sovereign!"
Thrum!
His words reverberated throughout. The many elders contorted their expressions when the sect leader mentioned Blade being in the Martial Sovereign realm.
"Sect Master, even though his speed of cultivation is perverted and he defeated the Heavenly Demon Sect's Chu Peng soo easily, I refuse to believe that he's already reached the Martial Sovereign realm."
An Elder expressed his opinion. Becoming a Martial Emperor in a few months was non-sensical enough but to become a Martial Sovereign, that was too much.
"Yes, Sect Master, I too can't imagine something like that. To be fair, that brat could have been sneakily using a special treasure. Maybe he is a Martial Emperor and coupled with a special treasure, he could easily defeat Chu Peng of the Heavenly Demon Sect."
Another Elder agreed and just like that, the palace hall became rowdy and more elders expressed their opinions.
Bam!
With a slam of his palm onto the stone table, the Sect Leader reclaimed the attention of the elders as they focused on him.
"Under no circumstance should we underestimate the Young Holy Child of Limitless Sky Sect. Who is to say that he isn't a genius comparable to those from the Limitless Void World, and who is his master?
It is a true Holy Child... And one of the Limitless Void Worlds, a faction that has the deepest and most mysterious past... A faction filled with resources from ages ago and as a true holy child, Astral Fabel has resources comparable to the very Limitless Sky Sect, and probably even more...
That Blade Pure-Heart is highly likely acquiring resources from his master who originates from the Limitless Void World. It isn't a surprise that with his perverted talent, coupled with the endless supply of resources, he'd reach the Martial Sovereign realm!"
Thrum!
His logical words entered the ears of the surrounding elders. Even the two Overseers had contorted expressions when comprehending the words spoken by the Sect Leader much less these Elders!
"But, there isn't a need to be too demoralized. We simply need to produce a genius comparable to that Blade Pure-Heart of Limitless Sky Sect..." The Sect Leader calmly said. His eyes remained emotionless throughout, unaffected by the situation his Sect faced.
"How?" An Elder stood to his feet. His face was pale and his body trembled. "How are we to produce a monster comparable to that freakish thing?!"
Expecting such a reaction, the Sect Leader smirked. "Simple... Elder Sophia!" The Sect Leader's cold gaze landed on a young girl who carried the title of Elder. She sat on one of the closer seats to the top of the table, signaling her status as one of the most powerful and experienced Elders.
"Yes, Sect Leader?" Athena's master, Sophia replied in a calm voice.
"Don't you have a Young Holy Child who, according to your words a few months back before she left to explore the continent, is a freak of nature?" The Sect Leader said, referring to Athena...
"Call her back to the Sect. Just like the others with the title of Young Holy Child, we'll be completely focusing on them and focusing all of our cultivation resources on them.
Even if we wouldn't produce a genius that can cultivate as fast as Blade Pure-Heart, we can produce one who can catch up to his realm... The Martial Sovereign realm is different so his speed will immensely slow down unless he wishes to damage his soul...
It'll be enough time to skyrocket the cultivation bases of at least one of our disciples to the Martial Sovereign realm before the appearance of the Holy Lands!"
"Yes Sect Leader, I understand..." Sophia replied, still retaining a voice filled with calmness.

As crimson-red flames coated his skin and dried his body, Blade adorned a set of new clothing consisting of long black pants and a black form-fitting t-shirt under a long black robe that accentuated his tall and handsome figure.
At an earlier stage, between his brows was a sword mark left my Astral but now, what remained was a golden pattern that released an innate aura of detachment from the world. Like a cultivator who had already become enlightened, and had seen through the workings of fate and destiny.
Staring at the screen floating up and down in front of his eyes, Blade had a calm smirk that would dazzle most if not all who saw. While leisurely approaching Chu Peng, yanking out his sword and storing it inside of his Origin core, Blade placed his hand on his chin, thinking out loud.
"There's quite a bit of thing to do. Firstly, I'll need to deal with those two idiots, then I'll need to make sure this idiot remains somewhat alive, I need to improve my cultivation...
I also need to check each system perk individually, and finally, see what benefits 40,000 system points can give me in improving and strengthening my soul so that my speed of cultivation can increase..."
Now that he wasn't in a state of adventure and was back in the Limitless Sky Sect, Blade was in the perfect environment to finally go over all the gains he had gotten in these past months.
Improving his cultivation was a no-brainer. And the system shop might be capable of quickening this process. He, Blade Pure-Heart, much rather shock his opponents, not with his genius talent but cultivation base...
Instead of walking the path of defeating opponents one and two major realms above himself, wasn't it much better to be three or four major realms above the enemy? Surely, this was most definitely the case!
And to do this, he'll need to rely on his system shop. As for the idiots he mentioned. One struggled to regain his thinking ability as he squirmed under Blade's feet. The other two he referred to were two who argued and intensified their auras, seemingly about to battle.
"These two... Sigh!" Blade was quite disappointed as he grabbed Chu Peng by the neck and exited the room.
His figure flashed as he appeared outside the small yet large cottage and into the bamboo field where he saw two figures, one a Goddess of Flames and the other a Goddess of Ice, about to commence a life-and-death battle.
