BXBX NOVEL Chapter 62: Bai Yue Sect
Zarnak wants them to move on and just go on with their life.
"I will leave Petricia here then. Tell her if you have chosen and are ready. I will wait outside this place."
Alex feels it's better they wait outside since many goblins will probably hate them.
Staying here will also make Emily more depressed, so it's better they stay away from the area.
He then stood up and prepared to leave, but Zarnak stopped him. "Hunter, you haven't told me your name."
"Just call me Alex. What do you want to talk about? I doubt you can tell me any useful information."
"I have two more requests."
This made Alex frown, but he gestured for Zarnak to continue.
"I hope you won't mistreat my people; they've gone through a lot.
I cannot tell you the details, but every goblin here still has much potential to become stronger. As long as you treat them right, I am sure you won't regret it.
And for my last wish, I want you to kill me in a duel."
Alex agreed since his wish was not too much.
He also understood Zarnak's last request; if he had just killed him without Zarnak fighting back, it could probably have attracted some attention from the one who created this dungeon system.
He felt more curious about the potential Zarnak mentioned, but Alex knew Zarnak could not tell him about it. Otherwise, he would have already spilled all the details to make sure Alex treated his people better.
Meanwhile, in the cultivation world, MingYue has arrived at the secret realm.
The trip went smoothly, with only some monsters attacking them, but this posed no problem. MingYue didn't even need to raise a finger.
MingHao and ZanLu easily finished them off.
The entrance to the secret realm is now moved deep in the mountain.
ZanLu took out an engraved mana crystal that functions like a key. When it's near the portal, it reacts, making the portal appear.
The mana crystal key was made by Alex with Vesa's help; the idea also came from Alex.
Since the nature of the energy is different, this will confuse cultivators trying to find out the nature of the crystal in case they get their hands on it.
The air started to vibrate, creating a portal that amazed MingHao and Jian Feng.
In their knowledge, only a really big sect under an immortal can create its own base inside a secret realm.
Inside the portal, they quickly could feel the rich energy in the air, but it was different than the one they were used to; they could not put a finger on it. It was just different.
It's not weird since they breathe in concentrated Mana, all coming from high-quality mana crystals Alex sent.
Since there are already many studies on how Mana affects the human body positively, they are not afraid of any bad side effects. As long the mana particle in the air doesn't pass a certain threshold.
Alex looks forward to what will happen; they hope some people will mutate and get their own abilities, like on Ainode, Alex's planet.
In front of them, a big gate made of steel blocks the way, giving everyone a feeling of awe and reverence.
Above it, there is no plank; instead, the sect name, 'Bai Yue sect,' is engraved directly on the wall.
The name comes from Alex.
Ming Yue still remembers when he suggested it, "In my world, vampires are often related to the red moon, but red also sometimes means something sinister, so let's just use white then.
Bai Yue In my language, Bai means white, and Yue means moon, White moon. Your name also has Yue, so it's a good match."
MingYue liked the name Bai Yue, so she agreed to use it.
In total, the Bai Yue sect now has 6 islands, with only MingYue able to enter the highest area.
The commoners all now stay on the first and second islands, with the sect members on the third to fifth islands, separated by their position.
Vesa has merged a few islands to build bigger living spaces.
Now, they only have outer disciples focusing on their practice to strengthen their foundation and discipline.
However, the training they undergo is not the same as that of other sects; it's a mix of cultivation methods and modern professional army training.
Usually, a cultivator's training would focus more on individuality.
When they enter a sect and their potential is assessed, they then start strengthening their foundation, taking some resources from the sect to ensure the qi is infused into their body correctly.
Depending on their talent, they will then be given a secret technique by the sect.
Those in the sect who have low potential will then be given tasks to do the daily chores, while those with great potential focus on cultivation.
After their foundation is stabilized, their schedule will then start to change, adding training for secret techniques.
They then split into outer disciples, the low grunts that are basically just a better word for servants, the inner disciples that they will use as cannon fodder, and finally, their real students, the core disciples.
The so-called geniuses or heaven-chosen.
This makes the social class even more defined; as the name suggests, the servants lick the cannon fodder's boots while they follow the geniuses, prepared to be ordered by them.
"MingYue, don't you see this is a waste of resources?
It's like the sect only needs some workers and servants, then they get it for free by baiting them with useless cultivation methods, in the end, all to feed those chosen ones.
They then try to instill loyalty by giving them many privileges. So, we better change it."
