How could those who once commanded three armies and fought hard on the battlefield be soft-hearted in their temperament?
Since the group of people planned to murder him, there was no need for Caspian to show mercy. While a cultivator traveled the world, everything must be done according to their conscience. Hence, Caspian did not feel at fault for killing those people.
Just as Caspian shook the remaining blood on the Wave-Breaking Sword, there was a sudden sound behind him. The next moment, Handsome’s panicked voice came, “Ahh? What happened?!”
Caspian turned his head and suddenly saw the little white pig turned into a white light, jumping around the fire and shouting. Handsome was not fully awake yet, and it faced the opposite direction as it jumped at the moment.
“Everything’s fine now,” Caspian said lightly and took out the storage bag on Dylan’s body.
After jumping for a while, Handsome opened its sleepy eyes widely, and the pig finally figured out what happened. When Handsome saw the guy who called it a pet was dead, the little pig smiled brightly, and its hoof slapped at the ground hard, obviously overjoyed. Handsome quickly drooled.
“Caspian, did you prepare these for me? Can I eat them..?”
In just a short while, the pig drooled and it could not hold back anymore. On the other hand, Caspian hesitated for a moment before nodding. The next moment, Handsome cheered and turned back to its original size and pounced forward. Next, the pig opened its mouth and ate the corpses one after another.
The dead bodies disappeared in thin air in the blink of an eye, swallowed by Handsome. After eating, Handsome slumped to the ground again with satisfaction. The huge pig’s head faced the fire, his eyes narrowed with contentment, and it let out a long sigh. “This is so comfortable…”
By that time, Caspian also finished checking Dylan’s storage bag, and there was nothing valuable, just some common materials among cultivators. Nonetheless, all of the stuff naturally belonged to Caspian now. After tidying up, Caspian said to Handsome, “Get up! We should continue our journey now.”
“But it’s not dawn yet?” Handsome twisted and turned, obviously unwilling to move.
“It’s time for me to go back.” Caspian shook his head.
Without waiting for Handsome, favonovel.com walked directly into the darkness.
“Hey! Wait for me!” Seeing that Caspian ignored it, Handsome suddenly became anxious. Then, with a sway of his body, favonovel.com turned into a cute little white pig, and his limbs and hoofs slammed in place. After that, the pig suddenly turned into a white streak, chasing after Caspian in the dark. Soon, it landed on Caspian’s shoulder.
“Caspian, I heard that you’re a sect disciple. What kind of place is a sect?” Handsome asked curiously. Then, it saw Caspian smiling faintly.
“A sect… It is a place where your friends are.”
While speaking, Caspian quickened his pace and quickly blended into the vast darkness.
***
Seven days later, they finally arrived at the Heavenly Stars Sect’s mountain gate, and there was a familiar aura in the air. Caspian’s eyes also showed a hint of joy. Even though Caspian did not practice in the Heavenly Stars Sect for long, favonovel.com had a deep affection for the place. That was the place Caspian found a new life for himself, and his dear friends and respected teachers were here.
That time, Caspian left slightly longer than expected, and favonovel.com was away for nine months. As Caspian stood in front of the mountain gate of Heavenly Stars Sect again and looked at the familiar scenery, favonovel.com felt the intimacy of returning to his hometown for the first time. When Caspian returned to Salleria before that, favonovel.com did not have such a sentiment.
Handsome squatted on Caspian’s shoulder, staring at the vast lake and bright stars hanging in the sky before favonovel.com in amazement. Since the pig was born, it lived in that fantasy array. Even though the fantasy array was enormous, it only had landscape and food. Handsome never saw the outside world. Then, Caspian and Daisy broke into the pig’s fantasy array by chance, allowing Handsome to leave.
It wanted to see the outside world. In the past few months on the road, the pig wondered many times whether the decision it made was wrong. The world outside the fantasy array seemed to be no different from the inside. However, its belief was completely wrecked.
“It‘s so beautiful… That’s so amazing…” Handsome sighed in amazement as it stared at the lake and stars.
“So delicious…” Handsome started to drool when it saw the passing Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciples.
Caspian frowned slightly and coughed softly. In that instant, the little white pig quietened, and its eyes showed a hint of determination. Handsome sat upright, looking at its front as if it did not just show its gluttonous side just now.
Handsome had no choice but to do that as it knew the curren t situation it was in now. Unfortunately, that was the world of cultivators, and if the little pig were careless, it would be snatched away and become someone’s “pet”.
Caspian also explained there were expert beast trainers among the cultivators, and the method was to get rid of the monster’s mind and make it a weapon that knew no pain. Handsome was horrified when it heard that However, Caspian also told it that as long as it did not reveal its true colors and was cautious in words and deeds, there would be no problems under normal circumstances. Due to that, Handsome was well-behaved at that time. After all, there was a price to pay to see the world outside the fantasy array.
It was not long before Handsome followed Caspian on board, crossed the lake, and officially stepped into the Heavenly Stars Sect’s territory. Caspian did not return to his residence immediately but went straight toward the Dazzling Stars Palace.
The Dazzling Stars Palace was where favonovel.com made a bet with Adrian last time. The Dazzling Stars Palace handled the rewards for disciples as well as the appointments and dismissals of personnel in the Heavenly Stars Sect. That included the promotion and authentication of the status of a disciple.
Caspian ascended from the first-stage Pulse Control Realm to the second stage. In terms of identity, favonovel.com could already be promoted from an apprentice to an outer disciple. Becoming an outer disciple first and foremost meant the advancement of status. In the future, all apprentices would address Caspian as their senior regardless of their age. More importantly, favonovel.com could enjoy more resources provided by the Heavenly Stars Sect in the future.
The Heavenly Stars Sect had 15,000 apprentices, and when it comes to outer disciples, the number has dropped to 4,000. The number was not even a fraction of the apprentices. From that, it could also be seen that although they were all in the Pulse Control Realm, the promotion from the first stage to the second stage was by no means as simple as it seemed.
It was precisely because of the difficulty of promotion and the sharp decrease in the number of promotions, one could qualify and enjoy more preferential treatment from the sect once their realm improved. After Caspian was promoted to an outer disciple, the number of spiritual stones favonovel.com received from the sect every month for cultivation increased from one to three. His living environment would also be completely changed from a compound where many people live together to a separate residence. That was what Caspian needed most right now.
