Core Achived Sect.
Alex and Fengying had arrived at the Core Mountain Sect, their eyes drawn to the majestic mountains that loomed before them. While Fengying marveled at the breathtaking scenery, Alex regarded it with a nonchalant attitude. He found himself perplexed by the uniformity of everything in this world—beautiful, yes, but monotonous in design.
"Let's proceed, Fengying," Alex suggested as he led the way towards a small cabin and a gate situated below the mountain.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
However, their plans were interrupted by a massive explosion echoing from below. Turning their attention to the source of the blast, they spotted Sect Master Lin, who had appeared before them with a smile.
"It seems you're all set. And who's this?" Sect Master Lin inquired, glancing at Fengying.
"Everything is settled. We're ready to go, Master. This is Fengying, my servant. She handles most of the maintenance around our dwelling," Alex responded.
Sect Master Lin nodded, placing his hands on both of them before taking off.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
With incredible speed, they ascended the mountain.
--
Upon reaching the Core Mountains' summit, Sect Master Lin turned to Alex. "This is where you and your servant will reside. Keep in mind what I told you—fellow Core Disciples might challenge you initially. Just demonstrate your strength, but remember, killing fellow disciples is forbidden in our sect, especially among Core Disciples. Come visit me later; I'll provide guidance and techniques. Rest for now, knowing that you've been through quite a bit." He handed Alex a talisman that would serve as their key.
With these instructions, Sect Master Lin departed, leaving Alex and Fengying in front of an immense three-story building. The architectural style reminded Alex of ancient Chinese design with its white exterior and three floors. A gate, featuring intricate carvings, stood before them.
Curiously, Alex could sense layers of protection around the place—formations were etched into the ground, ready to thwart any unauthorized entry with lethal force.
"Shall we?" Alex asked, motioning towards the gate. He pulled out a talisman and inserted it.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
The gate swung open.
"WOW! This is amazing!" Alex exclaimed, his enthusiasm evident.
They stepped into the compound, greeted by a spacious garden. Flamingos and cranes rested by a shining lake, framed by blooming flowers. A bamboo forest provided an idyllic backdrop.
"This is so beautiful," Alex marveled, savoring the tranquility unique to this place. Although the general architecture seemed uniform, this area exuded an inviting charm that distinguished it.
Approaching his assigned building, Alex's smile radiated his satisfaction.
"Let's explore the interior, Fengying," he proposed.
Fengying nodded, but she was still pale, Alex didn't know this but Sect Master Lin was innately releasing some kind of pressure, it was quite passive and was released from Sect Master Lin but, if Sect Master Lin didn't suppress it would just flow out of him anytime, and he didn't suppress it as he thought Alex was more than strong enough to manage to Withstand that Pressure, but for Fengying it was way different, she felt she was carrying few mountains on her shoulders, she could not even say anything not to shame Alex as she didn't want to be seen as a burden, so she withstood all that pain and managed to get to this place, she wanted to rest more than anything now, like after from a hard exercise physical exercise she was extremely tired. Fengying didn't even have the strength to say anything so she just nodded to everything Alex asked, she looked in front of the house and was especially stunned, as She was an Assassin, Fengying always lived in some kind of shacks that the organization gave them, this big Building was first for her, and even without energy she was smiling right now and was extremely excited. She was extremely excited to finally get to live in such a mansion and not just infiltrate to kill someone that he didn't even know, For this chance She was extremely grateful for Alex and vowed to repay him everything when she got strong enough, but before that Fengying looked at the Building that was about to open and was mesmerized by its intricate carvings, She felt some kind of connection to some of them, but it wasn't time for that right now. she needed to rest fast.
BANG!!!
The door swung open, revealing an adorned interior. Carvings of mythical creatures adorned various furniture pieces. Alex was impressed, even though the motif was familiar.
"Let's find our rooms. I have something to do momentarily," Alex informed Fengying before stepping out.
As Fengying headed upstairs to claim her room, Alex found himself in the backyard—a vast, plaza-like space.
"I don't have time for childish antics," he muttered, his eyes flashing with determination. "[Mountain Shatter Fist (10 Mountains) Max]."
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
A colossal explosion resonated, clearing the sea of clouds and creating a shockwave that rippled throughout the sect. Even the elders were alarmed by the sheer power released.
"An explosive force of unimaginable magnitude," commented one elder.
"Who could have created such devastation?" another elder wondered.
"How incredibly potent," mused another.
--
Inside the main temple, Sect Master Lin closed his eyes, unfazed by the explosive noise. He recognized Alex's intent.
"Smart kid. That ought to discourage anyone from pestering you," he murmured, returning to his meditation. He was eagerly awaiting Alex's arrival for guidance and techniques.
--
On another mountain within the sect...
A young man with black hair observed the sky, sensing the immense power released.
"That strength surpasses Soul Awakening Realm... Hah, another contender for Sect Master awaits. It doesn't matter—I will emerge victorious," he proclaimed, closing his eyes.
--
A different mountain...
A young woman gazed upward, a bright smile gracing her lips as she recognized the distinctive technique.
"Zhi Li, I knew you wouldn't perish so easily," she remarked, closing her eyes with contentment.
--
Meanwhile, Alex gazed at the sky above.
"I hope that explosion will discourage anyone from bothering me," he murmured, intending to return to his building. However, a sudden noise interrupted his thoughts. he looked behind him with some annoyance, he didn't want to meet someone now. he looked and.
BAAAAAANG!!!
The door of his building burst open, bringing an unexpected visitor.
