Chapter 52: Returning to the Azure Sky Sect
In the heart of the dense forest, Jiang Lei is standing beside a fallen monster's lifeless body.
It is one of the very creature he had killed during his searching for the Dreadfang Ravager. But he can't use Dreadfang's body to show that he completed sect's mission.
Leave aside the fact that its body was completely shattered into pieces, even if that wasn't the case he would never have dared to show its body to the sect.
Jiang Lei is not stranger to the nature of humanity, if he revealed that he had killed a powerful monster at foundation establishment realm like this one, it would attract many unwanted attention. Even High officials in the Azure Sect might become suspicious of him. This will only worsen his life in the sect.
He knows very well that the tallest trees in the forest were often the first to be felled, although he is very strong now, but he is surely not enough powerful to challenge the Azure Sky Sect.
He will soon breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment realm and that novice level pill can not only help him to breakthrough but it will also strengthen his foundation, the only reason he wants to participate in the competition is the breakthrough pill.
As for the shattered remains of the Dreadfang, he hid it carefully, even the dead body of a strong monster at foundation establishment realm is very precious, not only it can help in making many different types of pills, it can also be used to create spirit food or even create Refined grade weapons.
He wants to sell its body to the alchemist guild because he can get the most value from this shattered body now.
Jiang Lei could only sigh looking at the 4m huge body of the monster, " If I also would have spirit rings like those strong cultivators too, I wouldn't have to take this monster to the sect openly."
Jiang Lei sighed, realizing the advantages of having spirit rings in this Cultivation world, this is the only reason why he didn't cary the body of the Dreadfang with himself.
Jiang Lei harnessed his Qi, using it to lift the monster's lifeless body into the air and with that he also soared through the sky, heading back to the Azure Sky Sect.
The wind rushed past, carrying with it the scent of the forest below —the vast forests, winding rivers, and the distant mountains passed him one by one.
As Jiang Lei flew through the sky, the vastness of the world spread out beneath him.
____________
Unlike last time where he could only run, flying this time was faster for Jiang Lei. He swiftly moved through the air, it didn't take him more than an hour before he reached the Tianxia City.
He straightly headed for the Azure Sky Sect.
From above, he saw the familiar sect entrance with its tall buildings and beautiful design. Carefully, he landed just outside the sect's main gate.
Jiang Lei gently placed the monster's body on the ground.
As soon as he landed, gasps and hushed whispers filled the air as many passersby before the sect's gate froze in their tracks.
"Wow, look at that, such a big monster!"
"Who is this young boy? He's so young to have caught such a monster."
Jiang Lei's appearance caused quite a commotion. People couldn't believe their eyes.
One curious disciple asked, "How did he manage to capture this giant beast?"
"I heard that there are many monsters like this in the Mistwood Forest."
"He actually dared to go to Mistwood Forest alone. He's incredibly brave!"
The crowd watched in awe as Jiang Lei carefully placed the monster's body in the sect's outer area.
The guards at the sect's entrance were also surprised to see Jiang Lei carrying the massive monster. They looked puzzled and asked, "Who are you, and why did you bring this monster here?"
Jiang Lei didn't say anything, he just reached into his bag and retrieved the sect's token, which identified him as a disciple. He handed it over to the gatekeeper and calmly replied, "I am an outer disciple of the sect."
Gate keepers were shocked to listen Jiang Lei.
"Unbelievable! He must be quite talented to have done this at such a young age, and we still don't even know about such a genius in our sect."
"Yes, but this token is not fake, who dares to use the fake token of our Azure Sky Sect, until the person is tired of living.
"I have some important matters to attend to. Can I enter the sect now?"
The guards examined the token closely and then handed it back to Jiang Lei. "Alright, everything seems to be in order. You may enter the sect."
As Jiang Lei entered the Azure Sky Sect, a hushed murmur again spread among the bystanders.
"Jiang Lei, right? He's just sixteen!"
"That's impressive for someone his age."
"Imagine what he'll achieve in the sect."
"I heard he's an outer disciple. If he's this strong, what about the inner disciples?"
"It's a new era for the Azure Sky Sect, with talents like him."
The conversations buzzed among the bystanders as they watched Jiang Lei and the massive monster's body he carried. The Azure Sky Sect now, buzzing with excitement and anticipation as it welcomed its young disciple.
