Chapter 298 Divine Spirit Ablution
The prince calmly answered, "Without any failure, Elder Lo."
James Endoro laughed upon hearing this and was just about to speak up again.
However, Elder Lo waved his hand, gazing deeply at Ezra as he said, "Since that is so, I will naturally give you my full support. I will help you collect the ingredients."
The corners of James's mouth twitched. He had not expected Elder Lo to agree to Ezra Zephyr's rather outrageous request. Ordinary disciples, and even diamond belt disciples like them were not given such treatment all the time.
Feeling rather oppressed inside, James could only glance at Ezra with a forced superficial smile as he said, "Junior brother Ezra, please do not let Elder Lo down. I hope that we will be able to open our eyes during the quarter match and show all of us fellow brother disciples the new version of the pill that you've created. Don't waste the alchemy ingredients you're given."
Some of the disciples that were closer to James sniggered inside. He was clearly putting Ezra on a pedestal. If the latter was unable to show them anything during the quarter match, the other disciples would likely think that he was purely taking advantage, which would in turn lower his reputation.
"Don't worry senior brother James. I will not fail to shut your mouth. I mean – enemy's mouth." Ezra Zephyr said with a wicked smirk on his face, his scarlet eyes glowed.
At the sight of Ezra's seemingly untouchable appearance, James could only coldly snort inside.
Elder Lk looked towards the prince and suddenly raised his hand. A speck of light descended which was received by Ezra. The speck of light turned out to be a token, on which a giant black mountain had been carved. On the mountain's body was an unbroken mountain range dotted with quarters.
"This is?" The prince was puzzled.
Elder Lo explained, "This is your reward for the peak selection ceremony, a slot for the Divine Spirit Ablution."
"Oh? The Divine Spirit Ablution is open?" Ezra was excited. He had been looking forward to it for quite some time.
Elder Lo nodded. "It will formally open tomorrow. Only the diamond belt of the various peaks has the right to enjoy the Divine Spirit Ablution once every 5 months, making it a grand event of sorts. Tomorrow, you will follow Mubarak and the rest there."
The prince looked towards Mubarak, who responded with a warm smile. In turn, the prince of Bloodfang Kingdom nodded.
After giving a few more instructions, Elder Lo waved his hand, indicating for the disciples to disperse.
The prince grasped the tokens in his hands as curiosity and anticipation flooded into his eyes. He had been looking forward to this Divine Spirit Ablution for a long time, and it was finally here at last.
As he kept the token, he mumbled to himself. "I hope that the Divine Spirit Ablution will not disappoint."
"Divine Spirit Ablution, why do I get the feeling that it has something familiar in it?" Pondered Fenrir.
Ezra read his thoughts and replied. "Don't worry, you will see it with your eyes soon."
<Next Day>
Ezra arrived with Sköll and Hati at the gathering point, he saw that Mubarak, James Endoro and the other few diamond belt disciples were already waiting there.
With the exception of Mubarak, the other diamond belt disciples wore nonchalant expressions that gave off a slight air of superiority. They were after all diamond belt disciples, a status that far surpassed a gold belt disciple like Ezra Zephyr.
However, although they were pretty much impassive towards Ezra, the expressions in their eyes began to warm a little when they saw two cubs on Ezra's shoulders. Cerulean and crimson coloured cubs, each sitting on one side of Ezra.
However, a ray of dominance could be felt from those two cubs, the crimson one had his eyes shut as if he didn't care about anything while the cerulean one was growling at every other disciple with nothing but hatred in his eyes.
Mubarak gulped and forced a smile at Ezra and said, "Since you guys are here, let's prepare to make a move."
The prince responded with a smile and a nod.
Mubarak waved his sleeve and a cloud of spiritual energy arrived and everyone sat on it, the cloud brought the group into the sky and began flying in a certain direction.
Martial Cultivators could only fly when they reach the Foundation Establishment stage and for Martial Sorcerers, they had to establish the 5th Circle. These stages were also the requirement needed for an outer mountain disciple to become an inner mountain disciple.
Anyone below that will remain as an outer mountain disciple and have to use spiritual clouds to travel around.
While they were flying past Pill Seeker Hall, another spiritual cloud rose from the Ruin Seeker Hall. Atop the clouds were the diamond belt disciples from the other faction.
On that cloud was also a familiar lady, Aily. With her hot body, she was also quite an attention-grabbing sight, she was an enchanting beauty.
In front of her was the leader of the imprint faction, Lopap. They had the most diamond belt disciples of the two groups and thus gave off a strong and impressive aura. Hence, they audaciously looked towards Elder Lo's group without reservation, several disciples constantly casting their gazes at the only gold belt disciple, Ezra.
Mubarak shot an angry glance at them but did not intend on clashing with them here. With a stomp of his foot, the spiritual energy cloud sped up, rapidly leaving them behind.
Giant peak after peak thrust into the clouds on the vast land, the flying clouds occasionally zipping past in the sky. The calls and chirps of various birds filled the place, and one would even catch sight of squads of disciples in black flying past high in the sky in orderly formations. They were the enforcement disciples of the outer mountains. The entire place gave off a busy vibe.
While they were travelling, Mubarak advised Ezra, "Junior brother, the Divine Spirit Ablution opens every 5 months, and lasts for ten days each time. You should take note of the time you have."
The prince curiously asked, "Senior brother, what exactly is this Divine Spirit Ablution?"
Mubarak did not answer, and merely said, "You'll know once we reach our destination."
All the prince could do was nod his head.
