The Story Never Ends

"This is the reason why we let cultivators coming from the outer region join us as handyman disciples if they are in the Qi refining stage and outer court disciples if they are in the Golden Core Stage. Not only that, but talent is also necessary. Since you have come from the Outer Region, you might have either missed the Sect Selection Ceremony or you have very poor talent." Lilianna explained.

When Davion heard the word talent his expression changed as he didn't want to join as an outer court disciple. He wanted to get good-quality pills so that he could level up much faster. This was the reason why he showed his cultivation at the Golden Core Stage hoping to become an inner court disciple.

Seeing his expression she chuckled, "As I thought, you wanted to become an inner court disciple. However, I can make an exception for you."

"Really?" Davion's eyes lit up.

"Yes, I can let you become an inner court disciple if you have mastered the Devil Summoning Art from Thaddeus," She smiled.

"This.." He got worried as he didn't want to show it to anyone.

"You don't need to worry much about it. You must be wondering how I became friends with Thaddeus even though he is from the Outer region. This goes way back to hundreds of years ago when we met each other for the first time while exploring a secret realm." She reminisced about her past.

"This was the first time that I had seen the Devil Summoning Art and I was really impressed by it as it was very useful in the secret realm. So, I asked for his help in exchange for pills that would help him to breakthrough."

"However, I don't need you to show it to me right here. I just want you to help someone with this Art later on." She looked at him mysteriously while saying this.

Davion thought for a while and decided to agree with it as it didn't sound so difficult.

"Thank you, Elder" He bowed and cupped his fists.

"You made a good decision." She then pointed her index finger towards the ring Davion showed her.

The ring glowed and slowly started changing. It became blue in color and a pattern of thunder could be seen. Only after this did she stop and take back her finger.

"There are many courtyards for the disciples in the Inner Court Peak. They are always surrounded by a defensive formation so that nobody can disturb them during their cultivation. So, they need a token provided by the elders to enter through it."

"This ring will allow you to enter the courtyard at the bottom of the Peak. The higher you go, the better the courtyards are and more resources get allocated. However, they have already been taken by the disciples. You can challenge them and get their courtyard but remember they are far stronger than you." She reminded him of a few more things.

"I understand." Davion nodded in understanding.

"Ok, you can leave." She waved her hands and he was sent to the rocky steps in the blink of an eye.

"I.." He wanted to ask how to cure Ryland but he was already sent out here.

"I will help your dragon after you finish the task." Lilianna's voice came through his ears. It seemed like she hadn't forgotten.

He bowed in that direction and left.

When he reached the bottom, he saw that Stella was still waiting there. Seeing him coming, she asked, "Did you finish what you came for?"

"Yes." He smiled and showed his ring.

"Sheesh…"

She sucked in a cold breath. "You.."

"Hehe, I've become your Senior Brother." Davion was in a good mood as he managed to join the sect as an inner court disciple.

"I can't believe that you managed to become an inner court disciple this easily." She was shocked.

"Maybe he has a great background," She thought.

Davion asked, "How about you show me the way to the Inner Court Peak? I'm new over here."

"Oh! Of course." She came back to her senses and led the way.

In a few minutes, they had already reached the Peak. It was the same as before. There were rocky steps that led all the way to the top. The only difference was that the aura of heaven and earth was not so concentrated over here. But compared to the outside, it was still better. He already saw his courtyard which was at the bottom. It was also covered by a defensive formation. However, it was far smaller compared to the ones in the Core Disciples Peak. Even so for someone who was living in a small cave in the Bone Devil Sect, this was heaven.

He used his Mind-Eye and tried to see whether he could bypass it. He found that this formation was far weaker compared to the ones in the Core Disciples Peak. As a result, he easily managed to see through it.

"Senior Brother, I will be leaving." The moment they reached here Stella bade her farewell.

"Ok, Thanks for your help." Davion thanked her.

"No problem." She replied and ran off.

He then walked towards the courtyard with his ring on as he was going to use it as his main spirit ring.
