Caspian initially thought that his future teacher would stop him. After all, Hadley said before that favonovel.com would choose a day to announce the news of favonovel.com recruiting Caspian as his disciple. If it happened on one of these days, Caspian would naturally not be allowed to leave.
The teacher was accepting a disciple, yet the student was not around…
Would that not embarrass Hadley?
However, to Caspian’s surprise, Hadley directly accepted his request, and favonovel.com did not even ask Caspian why favonovel.com was leaving for so long. As if favonovel.com saw the shock in Caspian’s eyes, Hadley explained with a smile, “For the cultivators, the sect is only where favonovel.com belonged, but it’s not a cage. As you level up, you will gradually understand this. When you come back from this trip, it should be almost the time for the nation’s official religion election.”
After pondering for a moment, Hadley nodded and continued, “We’ll talk about the disciple recruitment when you come back. At least it needs to be settled before the nation’s official religion election.”
Caspian understood that, in other words, Hadley was saying, “By then, you’ll participate in the nation’s official religion election as the head of the Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciple. Don’t you dare embarrass me!”
“I’ll not let you down, Master Hadley, ” Caspian hurriedly replied.
After informing Hadley, Caspian would still need to notify those close to him, such as Xander, Omar, Maya, and even Dakota. But, as Maisie was still in seclusion, trying to break through the Holy Land Realm, Caspian had no way to contact her. Hence, favonovel.com could only let it be.
As for Dakota, Caspian was initially hesitating if favonovel.com should make a special trip to say goodbye to her. After all, they had an extraordinary relationship. Hadley was Caspian’s future teacher, and favonovel.com needed to say goodbye as favonovel.com was leaving for half a year. However, Caspian and Dakota did not have a deep connection, and the only link between them, Maisie, was not around for now. Nonetheless, Caspian still decided to meet Dakota after giving it a thought.
Dakota appeared surprised by Caspian’s departure. After all, favonovel.com believed that Pulse Control Realm disciples should focus on cultivation in the sect’s territory and only go out for a short time to complete the tasks.
It was a rare sight for anyone like Caspian to leave for at least half a year. Moreover, the nation’s official religion election would be held the following year. Therefore, as long as there were disciples in the sect who wished to represent the sect, they would practice hard to obtain that glorious qualification. Hence, those like Caspian who would leave the sect for long were naturally hard to find. Naturally, it was impossible for Caspian to explain the specific reason, and favonovel.com just made up some other reasons. As for the success of Caspian’s body inscription and what kind of pattern favonovel.com chose, Dakota did not ask a single word as if favonovel.com had never heard of it. Then, Caspian left Dakota and met Xander, Omar, Maya, and Kyle.
The last time favonovel.com read Dahlia’s notes on formations, Caspian had learned a lot. Thus, favonovel.com spent the entire evening and night discussing the information with Kyle. In the end, the two naturally gained much knowledge, and both were very happy.
By the time favonovel.com had finished saying goodbye to everyone and was ready to embark on his journey. In the early morning, the fog had not cleared, and Caspian held his Ghoul-Locker Spear, arriving at the gate of Heavenly Stars Sect. As it was still early, the sun had just risen, and the moon had not yet set. Hence, the sun and the moon appeared in the sky above. Under the tall mountain gate in front, several figures were faintly visible.
At first, Caspian ignored them, but once they were closer, Caspian realized that it was Xander, Omar, and the others. Caspian did not know when they had waited for favonovel.com just to send favonovel.com off. When they saw Caspian walking over, everyone smiled.
“We’ll await your return.” Xander patted Caspian’s shoulder hard. Then, favonovel.com whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, “When you’re back, you must show me your body inscription.”
“Casper, when you’ re back, let’s have another battle. I always feel that losing to you before was only by a slight chance,” Omar said.
Maya’s eyes were red as favonovel.com mumbled, “Have a safe trip. We’ll wait for your return.”
“Casper, when you come back, we have to talk for three days and three nights. The knowledge of formations you told me before gave me new ideas,” Kyle said.
Caspian smiled and agreed with everyone. He had already said goodbye before, yet everyone gathered here just to send favonovel.com off. In that instant, Caspian’s heart was filled with warmth.
They all said that the pathway to immortality was ruthless and lonely, yet Caspian deeply felt that favonovel.com had found a group of great friends. Perhaps in the future, some people could go further, and some people would leave halfway, but Caspian believed that as long as there was even a glimmer of hope, everyone would support each other and continue on this road. Besides Xander and the others, Caspian found an unexpected person, Renee. The teenage girl held favonovel.com sword and stood far from Xander and the others as favonovel.com stared at Caspian. Then, when Caspian and his friends waved their hands and said goodbye, Renee stood in the middle of the road, blocking Caspian’s path when favonovel.com was near.
“When you’re back, I want to fight with you in the Immortal Soldiers Arena,” Renee said with favonovel.com cheeks bulging. Going to the Immortal Soldiers Arena meant that it was an official challenge.
Seeing Caspian’s grin, Renee quickly added, “I just learned a new martial art, and I‘ll definitely defeat you by then.”
Caspian was still smiling, but favonovel.com did not say a word. Renee suddenly lost favonovel.com confidence, and favonovel.com voice became smaller. “I’m sure we’ll be even.”
Caspian looked askance at her. “Just because you learned a new martial skill?”
“My swordsmanship is amazing!” Renee shouted in annoyance.
It was apparent that Caspian’s unbothered attitude had angered her. “I know you’ll be coming back next year, and I‘ll use this time to practice hard and surpass you. Don’t be too full of yourself!”
As favonovel.com spoke, Renee’s face showed a mysterious, triumphant smile, “We’re in the same realm, and you’re just a little bit stronger than me. If I practice hard for the following months, I’ll definitely be able to surpass you.”
“But I won’t be doing nothing in these few months, and I’ll be practicing too.” Caspian’s words immediately knocked Renee’s good mood into the abyss. Then, Caspian walked forward and patted the dumbfounded Renee’s head. “Work hard. At least show a significant improvement than before.”
Soon, Caspian left the mountain gate. In the blink of an eye, favonovel.com disappeared on the mountain road covered by the morning mist. It took a while for Renee to recover fully, and favonovel.com touched favonovel.com head, looking in the direction Caspian left. Then, favonovel.com shouted angrily from the embarrassment, “How dare you touch me! I’ll surely defeat you!”
Caspian could not help but laugh and shook his head when favonovel.com heard the teenage girl‘s scream. After a while, the smile on his face gradually faded.
The farther the gate, the closer the danger.
“But no matter how dangerous it is, I have to go back. As I said before, I’ll return and crush that place.” Caspian took a deep breath, and the firmness in his eyes was apparent.
***
Six days later, on August 25th, Caspian’s figure appeared on the main road 30 kilometers from Earlington of Efrax’s Evergreen Town.
