Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao

================¶¶================

At a certain hall, the Vice-Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect sat together with two other old men and a few others who were elders of their respective factions.

"So the Hartfield Empire will not be sending any of its students from the Royal Academy?"

"Yes, this means it will be just us three factions that will be entering the secret realm of my Alchemy Association."

Opposite the Vice-Sect Leader, Argath Glaber sat a grey-haired, and long-bearded old man in a purple robe with seven stars pinned in a circle on his left chest, signifying his status as a Tier-7 Alchemist.

This man was the Vice-President of the Alchemy Association. He was a man capable of refining Peak-Grade Tier-7 Pills and Elixirs that even the cultivators that stood at the peak of the Southern Continent, Martial Ancestor Realm experts would fight for.

The three factions had gathered to discuss the exploration of a Secret Realm of the Alchemy Association with the goal of helping the members of the Alchemy Association that will be entering the Secret Realm avert danger.

Alchemists are not very good in battle as compared to other cultivators. This is because they focus on the Alchemy Dao rather than the practice of Martial Arts.

At the same time, they are more likely to increase their cultivations with pills most of the time, which causes their foundations to not be as powerful as other cultivators.

"The secret realm was found by one of our founding members. But he was unable to enter due to a powerful seal that prevented anyone from entering inside.

But a Rune Master analyzed the seal and discovered that it was losing its power little by little.

And in a thousand years, the seal will dissolve on its own. It has been a thousand years since then and the barrier to the secret realm is gone and we can now enter it.

But unfortunately, we found out that it only allows cultivators below the Martial Origin Realm to enter."

The Vice-President of the Alchemy Association explained the circumstances of the secret realm that they are about to explore.

"Moreover, there is a limited quota of twenty people."

"I see, then what does the secret realm contain?" The Fire Spirit Sect's Vice-Leader questioned curiously.

"It is suspected to be an inheritance of an Alchemist that had reached a very high level and said Alchemist may be of Ninth Rank."

"What?! A Tier-9 Alchemist?"

"If that is true then doesn't that mean there is at least a chance to get an opportunity to break through to the Martial Saint Realm?" Argath was shocked by the information that he just heard.

The opportunity to break through to the Martial Saint Realm. A realm that had not been seen in ages, and has even become a legend in the Southern Continent. One of the major reasons is the lack of resources.

And the secret realm of a Tier-9 Alchemist will surely be filled with medicinal herbs of very high grades.

But the most notable thing about Tier-9 Alchemists is that they can concoct pills and elixirs that can help a Martial Saint Realm cultivator to break through to the next realm.

The Nascent Soul Realm.

If the Martial Saint Realm Is said to be a legend to the common population of the Southern Continent, then the Nascent Soul Realm would be a myth.

And anyone that can reach that realm in this continent would be akin to a god to the inhabitants of the southern continent.

In fact, no one can even fathom how much power would be at the grasp of such a figure.

"Such a place exists in this continent? If information about this is leaked, then there will a great disturbance in the continent and even the Hartfield Empire might not be able to control everything perfectly."

In this world, there were some very powerful cultivators that were living in seclusion away from the matters of the world, while attempting to break through to the next realm.

Such men would not mind taking the risk of offending a behemoth like the Hartfield Empire if they could break through. Besides, if they do breakthrough, they will not need to fear the Empire.

"But such an opportunity, I don't believe your association would have willingly shared it, right?" Argath asked.

The Vice-President of the Alchemy Association narrowed his eyes at that question, "Such a big fish cannot be eaten by my association alone and besides there are a few things that can be kept hidden from the eyes of the Emperor."

The Hartfield Empire had known about the secret realm for a long time now. And there were supposed to be the only ones that knew and should share the profits with the Alchemy Association alone.

But all of a sudden the Emperor decided that they will not be participating and the Heavenly Sword Sect and one other sect should be chosen to go with the Alchemy Association.

Although the Hartfield Empire had already made a top-secret deal with the President of the Alchemy Association that even he, the Vice-President of the association is kept in the dark about the details of the deal.

But he won't be revealing that here.

"I see. But what I do not understand is why they are not participating in this matter. This is not how the Empire does things," The vice-sect leader of the Fire Spirit Sect was skeptical about the lack of involvement from the Hartfield Empire.

"I guess they have other plans then, but that is not why we are here. So let us discuss the benefits that will be shared…"

````````````````

Back at the Outer Court Arena, it has been over an hour and it was finally time for the final round.

"All right! Rest time is over, let the participants step forward!" The elder announced.

Arthur heard him and was about to leave the group, but Evelyn suddenly called out to him.

"Good luck on your battle!" she blushed a little, smiling at Arthur.

"Thanks," Arthur replied and walked away as he thought, 'Although I won't be needing it."
