"This place is different from what I imagined. It feels like something out of a horror book." Mariel commented as the four of them stood in front of an old building.
The entire building was full of cracks and moss was growing on the building. It looked as though the building would crash down at any second and the group started doubting whether this was even a sect.
But everyone in the city had pointed them towards this building and the sign posted on the building confirmed that this place was a sect.
"The eternal ocean sect." Kai read out as the four of them walked towards the entrance of the sect. They walked inside the entrance to see an old man around sixty years of age sitting on a desk.
Kai could sense that the old man's cultivation was at the 6th stage of the divine spirit realm but he could also tell that the man was hiding his true cultivation as Kai narrowed his eyes.
"Oh, nice to see some new talent here. It's been so long since someone tried to join this sect. What are your names kids?" The old man asked while coughing as Kai narrowed his eyes again.
"My name is Iak and these three are my sisters." He replied while pointing at the three girls as the old man raised his eyebrows.
"What are your names children?" The old man asked as they started telling their names."My name is Liera." Mariel went first.
"And mine is Lisa." Levina went next as both of the girls had told their fake names to the old man and Hela was next in line.
"My name is Hela." Hela did use a fake name and instead told her real name as the old man nodded and gestured for them to move inside.
"That young man looked as though he was hiding something and judging from the way he was looking at me, he probably knows that I am hiding my cultivation. But he didn't even use his spiritual sense and I couldn't sense his cultivation with my spiritual sense. I wonder why that is?" The old man muttered to himself with a smile as he kept sitting on the desk.
"So it was just an act to separate the people who like to show off." Kai muttered with a smile as the further they went, the better the sect got.
The interior changed from the crack-filled stone one to one made from red marble. The carpet changed from a dusty brown one to a royal blue one as the four of them kept walking before they encountered a closed gate at the end of the hallway.
Kai went forward and touched the gate with his palms as it slowly started to open up. A golden glow suddenly surrounded Kai and the girls as he raised his eyebrows as though he was impressed a little.
"A teleportation formation that will only activate if someone's touches and tries to open the gate. It's not easy to create such formations." Kai commented as the four of them vanished and appeared inside a room with four bunk beds and a small round table in the center of the room.
A note was lying on the table as Kai went up to the table and picked up the note. After reading the contents of the note, he turned towards his girl with a sigh and placed the note back on the table."So we have to live here for a week before someone from the sect will come here to get us and then we will officially become disciples of the sect. According to the note, nothing in this room is monitoring us and I have already confirmed it." Kai explained to his girls as they nodded.
"So we basically have nothing to do huh." Levina said with a small smile as she looked at Kai with desire glinting in her eyes.
"Hela would you like me to put you inside the pendant?' Kai asked as he turned towards Hela who nodded.magic
She could already guess what was about to happen so instead of watching it happen, Hela preferred staying in the pendant. Her body started shimmering as she suddenly vanished and entered the dark space inside Kai's pendant.
"Since I don't want you to get bored, there's a little something there for you to read. Enjoy.' Hela heard Kai's voice echoing all around her.
She turned around to see a horde of bookshelves surrounding her. The bookshelves had the names of the genres written on top of them as Hela smiled and went forward as she started reading the books.
"Why did Hela tell that old man her real name? Wouldn't that cause problems for us since people would recognize her name?" Mariel asked as Kai shook his head.
"That's the main thing. Nobody alive on the spirit realm knows about Hela and who she is. So it doesn't matter whether she tells anyone her real name or not. As for you both, there might be some people around who would know your true names and who you are. So it was a safe decision to not tell the old man your real names especially since he is hiding his cultivation." Kai replied as the two girls nodded.
"Levina, can you please go into the pendant as well?" Mariel then asked as he turned towards Levina who blinked in confusion for a moment before smiling and nodded.
Kai also understood what Mariel meant by that as he put Levina inside his pendant and dropped her beside Hela.
"Why are you here?" Hela, who was reading a book, was confused when she saw Levina appear beside her.
"Mariel apparently wants to spend some alone time with Kai so I am here to give you some company. Which book are you reading?" She asked as she sat down beside Hela and the two girls started reading the story.
While they were doing that, Kai and Mariel were spending some 'alone' time.
