War General Crimson-Spear knew he had finally used the tribulation and a great blessing was before him.
Although he was still in the phase of breaking through, in his mind he knew from this day onward, he was going to take a new path rather than just the War General.
Above in the dark sky, the invisible technique was uplifted and a large white crane was hovering in the air without flapping its wings. On it, a beautiful maiden along with an old man with silver hair and long beard were watching down over the War General.
Yes, she was William's blood sister and her master.
She spoke calmly, "I knew it this will happen when I scan his body."
"Right, without your help, he'll be stuck at the Perfection Stage of Blood Refinement all his life." The old man nodded, "But, Little Sherry, you went overboard this time. If this was someone else, that much of your aura will crush them to death. After this, I'm planning to end this little adventure of our."
Sherry cried out, "You can't do that, old man. You promise me three years."
"Oh really," the old man snorted, "I can do anything and that three years of promise shorten because of this." He pointed to the man was still within Sherry's aura but gradually consolidating its foundation.
Sherry knew the old man was not joking this time. So she changed her tactic.
Fluttering her eye lids like a little girl, she pleaded, "Master, if you do this, I'll stop listening to you and stop cultivating in your legacy. Many of your old friends are ready to teach me their legacies if I agree to be their disciples. I'm only staying with you because you dotted me like your own daughter."
The old man snorted, "You're just a clone, the most sassy one among all of nine clones. There is no point talking to you. We'll leave immediately after this lad finish his breakthrough."
Sherry reached into her spatial jade ring and pulled out a wine calabash and said, "Master, this is the Yang Thousand Spicy Wine that monkey presented to me long ago. I promise to give it to you if agree to keep your promise."
The old man turned and ignored her.
She uncapped the calabash and a strong spiritual fragrance drifted.
The old man quickly snatched the wine calabash and sealed it, saying, "Little girl, that is not the way you treat an Immortal Wine like that." He could only signed thinking that he was present here and didn't spoiled the value of the wine.
Sherry grinned and asked, "Please keep your promise?"
The old man signed and said, "Fine. Since you gifted your master such a great wine, I'll change my mind. We'll stay until the end of the trial. After that we won't interfere with his path. Otherwise his karmic line will be pulled by your good karma. He will lost all his karma value and he will suffer in his path of cultivation."
Sherry understood what her master was saying. She practiced in a technique of Karma. So, whoever close to her would lost their karmic value if she got interacted with them unless they had immortal armament of karma to block her influence. Only those who had higher cultivation realm could stay close to her.
She nodded.
Suddenly they heard something and turned toward the east to spot two person sprinting toward the mountain.
They were fast considering their cultivation level and the Qinggong technique they used.
They stopped not far from the war general.
Sherry and her master gazed down and still remained calm.
The two newcomers— a silver hair middle aged man wearing white daoist robe and the other an old man.
"They are both in the Middle stage of Yuan Foundation realm. Not bad for someone born in this back water place." Sherry was the one who spoke gauging their Qi.
The old man clicked his tongue and sighed, "Too bad, their bone ages suggested one is 340 years and other reached 450 years almost at the end of his rope. Heavenly Dao is too unkind to the cultivator. I could have take them in if they were within 200 years. Too bad, they both have passed their prime. They will never make another breakthrough this Third Realm of cultivation. Just ignore them."
Hearing her master, she couldn't help but muttered, "Indeed the heaven are very unkind to the cultivators. It was very hard to climb up the ladder and become immortal. If one climb a realm there will be another realm which was hundred times tougher than the previous one. The first realm is the Mortal realm of the body foundation. The second realm was the Blood Manifestation Realm which was further sub-stage into Blood Refinement. After the completion of the Blood Refinement, one would reach the third Realm of Cultivation— The Yuan Qi Foundation for Yuan Qi cultivator or Spirit Foundation Realm for Body Cultivator. That War General is currently consolidating to become Early stage of Yuan Foundation Realm"
The two newcomer heard discussion and they looked to see that there was no one.
Both looked at each other and they introduced themselves.
The middle-aged looking man gave a bow and spoke, "Seniors, sorry for disturbing. But this place belongs to my Hornbill Kingdom and I Boris Hornbill happen to be the king of this kingdom. If this doesn't bother, please be my guest and receive my hospitality for a day. I'll arrange a banquet for both the seniors."
Sherry frowned and spoke out, "There is no need. Just leave."
Her master didn't object to her too. Both of them didn't like to have any karmic thread with them. There was no point.
"But, b-ut, this War General belongs to my kingdom. I want to stay and protect him."
"No need. I'll protect him." Sherry spoke out.
The old man was the head of the Blood Awakening Tower stationed here in Hornbill Kingdom. He was wise. He spoked mentally, "My King, let's leave. If we stay here further thing will become nasty for us."
King Boris nodded and both of them quickly sauntered away.
