Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao



================¶¶================

Arthur left his residence in the outer court and walked deep into the sect until he arrived at the entrance of the inner court.

There, two men stood on guard and the instant Arthur came close, they spoke at the same time.

"Stop!"

Arthur didn't halt his steps, and neither did he look at them. Instead, he brought out a seal and showed them.

'Huh?!'

Both men became alarmed when they saw that seal and hurriedly bowed their heads.

"We apologize for our insolence please forgive us!" They cupped their fist.

"It's all right." Arthur did not mind as he understood that the men were just doing their job.

Although he did not care about such trivial matters many did and if they were in his shoes, with that seal in hand, they would have punished those men and can even make them lose their job.

Such was the power of the seal he had, or rather the power of the one whom that seal represented.

'The Supreme Guardian, huh... That was the man who Old Man Alfred wanted me to take as my master. But who knew I would be having his help in the end,' Arthur thought in his mind as he walked deeper into the Inner Court.

'Or rather, should I say his beloved granddaughter's help,' Arthur's mind went back to what he would call a fated meeting that occurred a few days ago.

.....

A few days ago...

The Outer Court Rankings were to happen in three days and Arthur was meditating on his next steps in the sect.

Before now, Crixus had come out of seclusion and his name became a constant mention on the lips of the disciples of the sect.

Arthur had gotten wind of information that is not yet known to others at this time.

Crixus defeated and seriously injured a Martial Emperor Realm expert in one move!

At the same time, he planned to challenge the Sword Tower again, and this time with more confidence in clearing it.

After the Martial King Realm, one can not challenge the tower again so this was his last chance.

Arthur received this information from an elder who sent his disciple to share the information.

The Elder refrained from revealing his identity, but Arthur knew who his disciple was.

Thomas, an ordinary inner court disciple was secretly the personal disciple of one of the great elders.

It was the same Thomas who registered them into the sect and Arthur had been meaning to have a private conversation with him due to a feeling he had.

Unfortunately, the guy was very antisocial and avoided talking more than he had planned to.

But before he left, he gave one last message.

"The Senior Elders and Great Elders will be having a meeting soon to decide finally on the matters of the Prime Disciple. If Crixus clears the tower and you still remain an outer court disciple, all support will probably go to him."

After Thomas left, Arthur sat comfortably in his residence and smiled.

Prime Disciple?

The future leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect?

He didn't care about any of those. After all, he will become the crown prince of the Hartfield Empire after the Grand Martial Arts Tournament.

But even that was not anything notable in his heart. His eyes were set on a throne that didn't exist.

A throne that no one had sat on since the beginning of time.

So how can he be moved by rulership in the lower realms?

But since he is here, no one is allowed to be first aside from him.

It was as simple as that.

While Arthur thought about things like this, he stood up and left for the Misty Mountains.

He had spent so much time here that he had not explored the mountain range and he wondered what interesting things he could find.

Without telling Luke of his movement, he arrived at the Misty Mountain Range.

The Misty Mountain Range had a geographic arrangement that made it accessible to all the members of the sect.

There is another part where one can enter the mountain range to train from the inner court and another from the core area of the sect.

But entering from those paths would be dangerous for outer court disciples as the Spirit Beasts in those territories were stronger and could only be faced by the stronger and higher-ranked disciples.

As Arthur walked deeper and deeper into the mountain range, he entered the territory of stronger spirit beasts.

He met those that were as strong as Grand Martial Realm cultivators, who are core disciples.

But he only needed one punch to defeat them all.

While doing this he meditated with his eyes closed and used his soul power to navigate his way through the forest.

As he meditated, he perfected his comprehension of strength and speed intents and was on the verge of a breakthrough when he entered the territory of Spirit Beasts with Martial King Realm strength.

Many of them would have attacked and besieged him but upon feeling the pressure of his soul power they stayed put and some even left their territory in fear.

At this time Arthur sensed a battle ahead with his soul power. He could tell it was between a girl and a Martial King Realm Spirit Beast, and it was at the later stages of that realm.

Arthur walked in and not bothering to change his direction as most of his focus was on his breakthrough.

He was about to understand the Strenght Concept and Speed Concepts.

'Just a little longer...speed... strength...'

In his meditation, Arthur arrived at the place where the battle was taking place with his eyes closed.

His soul power became more tamed and its pressure was cloaked so that the two who were fighting could not sense it.

The girl who was seriously battling the beast noticed Arthur's arrival and wanted to shout at him.

But she withheld her voice when she saw who he was and that he was in a state of comprehension.

"Roar!" The spirit beast was not happy at Arthur's arrival and felt that Arthur had come to help the girl.

This caused it to fight more ferociously and it somehow managed to shift the battle to Arthur's direction and sent an energy attack at Arthur.

"Roar!"

A blast of flames was fired off from the mouth of the beast.

*Zoom!*

'Shit, I was careless!' The girl widened her eyes and moved to save Arthur.
