11 Arriving at the location

Time passed at a snail's pace as Sam waited for the ship to arrive. He had been bored of this ship and could only think to waste this downcast time away and that was to read the books on the shelf which he hadn't read through.

While he was reading, he came across some useful information about this world's cultivation ranks.

The ranks were as followed

Bronze (10 times strength on the base strength of a person)

Silver (times peak strength of Bronze Stage when at 10 rank of Silver stage, and so on for the other stage)

Gold

Beginner

Intermediate

Beginner Master

Intermediate Master

Master

Grand Master

Monarch

Grand Monarch

Transcendent

(Yeah, great naming sense again)

After reading these somewhat useful books Sam had finally spent the time that was required for the ship to arrive to its location.

Sam gladly walked out of his room, and not to his surprise 1st Master was outside waiting for him.

As if 1st Master understood with a slight greeting, he lead Sam towards the location they were gonna meet with other forces.

It took them awhile for all the people of Sword Sect to be able to exit the ship. Which was significantly lengthened due to the ship not being able to come close to the shore and had to stop a few miles out. Which forced them to use the boats on board to get to the shore.

Sam did not have to do such thing and was able to fly to the shore. Being so early here he had to wait for awhile until everybody else was here.

He had received many looks from the people that arrived here but none of them approached Sam as they noticed that the 1st Master was next to him. They all just bowed down slightly and moved on, out respect for 1st Master.

After all of them were together, the 1st Master raised his voice to declare, "Get ready, we will be meeting the other forces now but before that we need to reach them. This journey will be the hardest part of our travel, there are many Grand Master stage beasts surrounding this place, we will be infiltrating their territories, which will make us their enemy. Don't lag behind or else it's your own fault if you die." His voice was clearly heard by all the members, they knew they could not stay away from 1st Master as they knew, that these beasts wouldn't wanna fight a powerful cultivator but they would gladly pick up a few snacks if they were laid out there for picking.

The journey through the forest went safely, this wasn't due to luck but just cause Sam was with the group. He had sensed many beasts close to the group but was able to push them away with a flicker of his aura.

Once they arrived to the location, there was an area that lack any presence of trees it was just a flat land, with no sort of topography, just a flat land.

The only abnormality was a few huge tents that stood out in the centre of the field and it seemed like people were coming out of the tents, in response to them arriving.

Once the sword sect was close to the centre they could view 4 other groups, each group having a clamp of at least 1000 people in them.

Out of each group one person walked out, each was their respective groups' strongest.

But from Sword sect there was 2 people, 1st Master and Sam.

When they group met each other, they all eyed Sam, wondering why there would be an extra person from Sword Sect.

They each took a few glances in order to see Sam's cultivation, but such thing was fruitless as they were not able to sense any trace of Sam's Qi. It wasn't cause Sam was hiding but due to it just surpassing everybody else's Qi sense to a point if he physically took a drop of his Qi they would think it was just a drop of liquid.

The only way they would be able to sense Sam's Qi was if he had used it on them.

"1st Master of Sword Sect, this is a meeting that we should not be bringing random strangers to, please send this person back".

The person that spoke was the 1st Master of Flame Sect, he was a quite out raged by 1st Master of sword sect bringing a nobody to this meeting, but could not raise his voice as there were other important matter to worry about, so he asked the 1st Master to quickly send the nobody away so they could start.

"Thats not possible"

1st Master did not take long to answer, he wasn't going to send Sam away just cause he was asked, and he knew it would be worse to send such character away. He wasn't worried about revealing the secrets of the top forces, he knew that hiding such a minuscular secret was not going to help him which is why he brought Sam here.

He wanted to gain Sam's trust by revealing this major secret, which only the 5 forces knew about.

They were about to start an argument that would have started a clash between the sword sect and the forces but knowing that power was everything, Sam released a bit of his Ki to shut them down.

That bit of Ki had suppressed all of the 4 Masters that were against Sam being in the conversation.

After a while they convo was finished, and Sam was in shock...

He could not believe these people really bothered to keep such a thing a secret.

The secret was about this invincible realm only accessible by the 5 forces' inheritance key. He wondered who would be able to get access to the keys to enter this place that only opened once a decade?

The 5 forces were the strongest of Dia Empire, which even the emperor would have to think twice before doing anything. It wasn't because of the Masters but the Guardians of each sect. Not only were those Giardians at the same level as the king but most of them even surpassed him.

So who would dare to steal these keys?

Not bothering about this secret Sam waited for them activate their keys.

A flash of light hit every individual that was on the flat land, after the light left everybody was gone.

Sam saw this light coming towards him, at first he dodged the first light but noticed it wasn't harming him when he touched it.

So he decided to let it engulf him.

(A/N: This part is just for making Sam FTL)
