SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

On the top of the tall rock pillar of Rising Sun Peak... A cold, serene atmosphere enveloped the top of the rock pillar.

Peak Master Porus kneeled before the old patriarch of the Eternal Sun Sect, who was silently meditating while sitting on a boulder. His long staff was fixed in the boulder while the patriarch sat in a lotus position.

Porus waited silently before the patriarch. Time passed slowly, and the patriarch opened his eyes after a long delay. The old patriarch stared at Peak Master Porus for a long time before speaking.

"Don't you think it's too early?" The old patriarch asked with a questioning look.

"We should hit the metal when it's hot. He is going to face an opponent who is a realm higher than him, and in a month, he will experience an inheritance. If my guess is right, the wizard association will conduct a recruitment tournament after three lunar circles.

I think it's a perfect time for Kent to experience the Gate of Dying phenix. Don't forget your promise, patriarch." Porus explained patiently without giving any chance for the patriarch to refute his request.

"Shhh, the time really flows differently for youngsters." The patriarch muttered as he remembered Kent's first day on sect.

While Porus waited patiently, the patriarch, who had sat in the same spot for decades, slowly put down his legs and stood up with heavy breathing. The boulder he is meditating on turned into rubble after the patriarch stood up.

Taking a step forward, the patriarch picked up his powerful staff and turned his gaze towards Porus. "I can only take your disciple near that dying phenix. But it all depends on the fate of your disciple—whether he can gain something from that dying phenix. In any case, don't put much hope." The patriarch said this before inhaling loudly.

Porus bowed deeply, his forehead nearly touching the ground, gratitude etched across his features. The patriarch nodded slowly, acknowledging the respect shown. With a heavy heart, he then turned towards the Solar Volcanoes, where the Dying Phoenix, a divine beast under the protection of the Eternal Sun Sect, had taken refuge.

For taking shelter in the Eternal Sun Sect and for keeping the secret of her presence, the phenix divine beast promised to bless a disciple of the Eternal Sun Sect.

In all these years, they reserved this chance for a potential candidate who could serve as patriarch of the Eternal Sun Sect in the future. But after hearing Mohini's words about supporting the patriarch to become a supreme magus, the patriarch decided to use this opportunity for Kent.

Inside Kent's residence...

Kent sat in the swinging chair while listening to the chatter of the ladies. Sophia prepared a hot water medicinal solution for Kent and let him place his feet in it. As he leaned back on the chair, Sophia took on the role of healer and began massaging his neck and shoulder with care.

Luna sat beside Amelia, who was lying on the bed.

"Hey, Sophie, what happened to your anger now? Didn't you want to question Kent for speaking about your love in front of all the crowd?" Lucy asked in a teasing tone.

"What?! No… nooo… It's all my stupid brother's fault. Why would I be angry at Kent?" Sophie replied hurriedly while glaring angrily at Luna with a cursing gesture.

"Then what about your tripartite proposal?" Lucy asked again, ignoring Sophia's angry glares. Even Amelia started laughing after hearing that question.

"What is that?" Kent, who closed his eyes in relaxation, asked without opening his eyes.

The tree ladies became silent at Kent's question. The ladies felt shy to speak about it. Sophia and Lucy gestured for each other to speak.

"Don't tell me that you three want to do something with me. If that is the meaning of a tripartite proposal, I won't object to it." Kent replied calmly while controlling his smile.

Both Lucy and Sophia's faces turned red as they exchanged glances. "Shameless, that's not what it means." Amalie cried out in a frustrated tone.

"Ohh…" Kent exclaimed disappointingly while grabbing Sophia's hand to massage his templates.

"After a long discussion, we three decided to put a restriction on you." Amelia spoke in a serious tone.

"What restriction?" Kent opened his eyes hurriedly and turned towards Amelia.

"From now on, if you want to love or marry any woman, you should get our approval. Without me and my two sisters' approval, no other lady will be allowed to be part of your life." Amelia explained while observing Kent from the corner of her eyes.

Kent's eyes went wide after hearing about Amelia's condition. Immediately, his bride Thea, Maya from the poison sect, and Mia Snow of Silver Leaf Town, who took his first breath, appeared in his thoughts.

"Yes, you are a pleasure doctor. So many women will try to snatch you. So, you must get our approval before accepting any woman's love. We three are your protection spells." Sophie added with a righteous expression.

"It's not protection; it's all damn curse spells." Kent muttered, thinking of his future.

"Why are you not saying anything? Say yes to our proposal." Lucy demanded from the side.

"Before saying yes, you should know that I have a promised bride. Even though she doesn't like me, things might change in the future. Also…" Kent paused as he hesitated about revealing the information about Mia Snow. Lucy personally knew her, as they were from the same town.

"What?! Another girl?" Lucy cried out in a surprised tone.

"As expected, sister, we definitely became part of a harem." Sophia uttered emotionally while taking a seat beside Amelia.

The argument followed as the three ladies demanded Kent approve of their tripartite proposal. As the issue reached a climax where he had to say yes, someone knocked on the door loudly.

Thanking God in his heart, Kent hurriedly stood up to answer the door. But Sophia pulled him back onto the chair.

"Let me see who it is." She replied with an angry glare and rushed outside. With a heavy sigh, Kent sat back, avoiding the serious glares of Amelia and Lucy.

Outside, just as Sophia opened her eyes, she felt rooted to the spot. The person before her was an old man with a powerful aura glowing all around him.
