THE CRIMSON EYED TIGER
"Emperor Ching broke loose of his chains and the heavens turned everyone against him in the process but he still rose to surpass the pinnacle. The only way that I know is that you'll have to reach the pinnacle of cultivation in this realm and conquer the entire realm and break free from the chains of heaven." Terraria said as she gave Reece a possible solution to his predicament.
" Okay reaching the pinnacle that's no biggie, I can do that with your help master I'll reach it." Reece tried to reassure himself as he said it with a smile.
Terraria smiled back and gave him a pat assuring him. She took out a storage ring from the pile of treasure behind her and put everything inside the ring leaving the cave empty. She cleared all her treasure and put them in the ring and handed it to Reece before also going into the storage ring.
"I'll stay here in the ring; I've put all the treasure and resources into it that you going to need in order to reach the top of the Tianxia realm. It'll be inconvenient to walk around with an ancient demon beast so you'll have to always wear this storage ring it has an endless void inside it and I can stay inside." Terraria told Reece of the functions of the ring as she retreated inside the storage ring.
Terraria also connected her consciousness to Reece's so that they could communicate at ease without anyone suspecting anything.
"Reece head for the mountains you see floating around." Terraria gave Reece his instructions as she had already accepted him as his disciple.
As agile as ever Reece jumped to the sky and through the open hole that was above the cave. Using a flying sword given to him he soared through the night sky.
"Yahoo! Yee-haw!" Reece's voice filled the air as he was elated as he soared over the clouds and skies," So this is how it feels to fly, wow it's amazing Terraria."
"Eyes ahead dummy don't forget where we are headed," Terraria scolded Reece who was overly enjoying the experience.
Reece adjusted the flying sword and headed towards the mountains. As he soared above the forest trees, he saw the other Jao sect disciples camping out the crystal tower and around them were several other camps from different sects and empires too.
Though he couldn't spot Lian among the other disciples he still had to stay on his guard as Lian was an unpredictable character. At a distance from the Jao sect he spotted Katia and the Tranquil Lotus Clan disciples camping. Katia spotted him as he was flying over to the Jao sect disciples and called out his name. Just then everyone's head turned to look at him. They stared at Reece as he landed beside his fellow disciples. Most particularly the families sent by the empires couldn't hide their interest in him.
"Senior brother, you're finally here." one of the disciples asked excitedly as he Reece arrive.
"Yes, how's everything here and how are you guys?" Reece inquired about their state and how they ended up there.
"Senior brother, we joined forces with the different sects and families to defeat and ancient beast that guarded this tower. Now we are all waiting as senior sister Huaje and the other sects discuss the spoils." Hwang replied to Reece who was glancing over to the Baihua Empire campsite.
"Stay here I'll get this sorted out quick," Reece then turned back and headed over to the direction the leaders of each sect were meeting to discuss the distribution of the resources in the tower. With a towering presence and wanting to make a statement Reece released his killing intent sending shivers to everyone. He walked stoically like the villain suppressing everyone and scaring them at the same time.
As he reached to where they were he looked at Huaje, his crimson eyes burning the life out of them, blazing like an eternal flame, his hair turned crimson, and the killing intent had become his sword and him the sheath that had unleashed it. He flashed a devilish smile towards Huaje and with a sharp glare he looked at the Yin-Yang empire representative too.
The smile sent shivers down Huaje's vertebrae as she sensed a keen foreboding to what was going to happen right at that moment. Reece flexed his arm out as he fast approached the Kenshin Peak leading disciple, Vandice. Huaje saw this and thought a bloodbath was going to occur as she saw Reece's crimson eyes, hair and the killing intent released.
As she stood up to try to stop Reece, he advanced past her in a quick flash and got hold of Vandice by the throat and choking her as he held her up in the air. Strangling the life out of him and watching him squirm for air with a smile on his face.
"Listen up you all I'm going to say this once only. The Jao sect takes majority of whatever is inside the crystal tower, I don't care what you were going to plan. If you dare, go against the Jao sect I'll take the life out you all. Are we clear?" Reece smirked as he was slowly drawing the life out of Vandice.
Piento tried to intervene and help Vandice get free from Reece's choke hold. With a mere glance from Reece, Piento couldn't move an inch as the killing intent was suppressing him and slowly drawing his vitality. The others who saw this could do nothing but agree to the terms that Reece had so superiorly imposed on them.
"Okay good, I like it now that we are on the same page, Huaje take over from here" Reece smiled cynically as he let go of Vandice who was desperately gasping for air and Piento who was being overwhelmed by the pressure.
Huaje took over from where Reece had left off by trying to sooth Vandice who was almost choked to death. Reece left them and headed towards the path leading to the mountains. Now that he had helped the sect secure the resources within the tower, he could leave them without any worry and go up the path.
"Li Dao, I like that one can we get him to come to our family?" Andrea of house Akaela asked as she was drawn to Reece's show of superiority and thought with someone like him he could help increase their families prestige in the empire.
" Andrea you like almost everyone here just pick one already and lets continue to try and climb the mountains." Li Dao fed up by Andrea answered as he stood up to head for the path.
"Xia Yang did you see that wasn't Reece so cool right now when he threatened everyone just now." Katia who was now fawning over Reece even more said to Xia Yang who was watching as Reece walked away from the ones discusing as if nothing had happened.
" Yeah he was and now the Jao sect has a say in the distribution and nobody can go against them now cause they'll be afraid of Reece and what he may do to them next." Xia Yang replied to Katia as she stood up and wanted to go approach Reece and ask for a hand too.
