Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao

Chapter 113 Vision: Things Are About To Get Interesting!

================¶¶================

"I see. Well, in that case, stop all activities to train in the mountains. I will transfer some contribution points that will be enough to purchase healing medicines from the Alchemy Hall for those who are injured."

Luke frowned when he heard that.

"What's wrong?" Arthur asked.

"We had already tried getting healing pills and tonics from the Alchemy Hall but we were told that they were out of stock. Apparently, the Blood Sword Faction bought out everything."

Luke clenched his fist as he spoke.

Sun Wukong was right, the Blood Sword Faction members were taking things too far.

But, unfortunately, their faction's power and influence were weaker. And the only thing keeping many of their members from leaving was Arthur's presence.

"I understand. It appears that the elders are still watching and none have decided to help," Arthur knew what was going on.

"They want to see how I will deal with this before deciding if they should support me and make me a Prime Disciple Candidate."

Arthur could guess the thoughts of the higher-ups.

Although, the sect allowed for competition between disciples and their factions.

There was a limit to what was allowed.

'I have run out of the pills that I took from the Emperor. Cora has no stack of pills either, only medicinal herbs are available within the painting.' Arthur thought of what he could do in this situation.

'If I made her control Ava, that would destroy the illusion that she genuinely received an inheritance.'

Arthur had ordered Cora to alter Ava's memories of what really happened in the secret realm.

But he decided to allow Cora to have the young girl under her Soul Bound technique for now.

Just in case, they might need to use it in the future.

After thinking of things for a moment, Arthur decided that he would learn Alchemy.

He had planned to do so when the time was right as the status of an Alchemist was something valuable even in the higher realms, and he could use it to get some privileges.

Luke and the others waited patiently for Arthur to speak.

"We will still do as I said. Tell all faction members to refrain from entering the Misty Mountain Range until I say otherwise. I will come up with a way for those with serious injuries to recover faster."

"For now, tell them to enter into temporary seclusion. And as for the spies in our faction..."

Arthur stopped his speech as he suddenly saw something in his mind.

His Fate Sense was stirred up and he turned to look at Balor.

Arthur didn't know it but at that moment his eyes shined with golden light for just a second.

But in that second, Balor and the others felt their hearts shudder.

'What in the heaven's name is that?!' Balor couldn't shake the feeling he felt and it had been engraved deeply into his heart.

'Is this his true power?' Sun Wukong's gaze became serious as he thought Arthur did not use his full strength when they fought.

He clenched his fist, 'Invincible, what kind of monster are you.'

'I have only felt like this once in my life. It was the day 'Master' left, the day he revealed that he was more than the drunken old man I believed him to be.'

'This would be the second time I've had such a feeling, and this time it feels... stronger?' Sun Wukong couldn't quite understand.

'Ah, whatever, this just makes me want to fight him more,' his eyes became crazed with excitement at the thought of witnessing Arthur's full strength in battle.

Meanwhile, Luke's reaction was different from Balor's dread, and Sun Wukong's shock and excitement.

'As expected from Master,' was all he thought and then his feelings became peaceful as he felt secure with such a Master.

Arthur was unaware of the seed he had planted in the hearts of the young men before him.

He closed his eyes and furrowed his brows for a few minutes before his expression returned to normal.

Opening his eyes, he looked at Balor, and then at Sun Wukong, finally his gaze rested on Luke.

Arthur smiled, "Things are about to get very interesting."

They did not understand what Arthur meant but he gave them no explanation either and only asked them to go to their assigned rooms to cultivate.

While they left the hall, Arthur took note of Balor's fearful gaze and Sun Wukong's battle intent.

'What is wrong with them?' He shrugged his shoulders and entered the palace in the painting.

In the main room of the palace which was previously Cora's room, he sat cross-legged on the bed, contemplating.

"This is the greatest vision that I have ever seen," Arthur thought back to what he saw.

This would be the third time he was seeing a vision.

The first time allowed him to get a treasured resource that helped him lay a perfect foundation before he began his cultivation.

The second time was the vision that led him to where he was now.

And now, he had seen a vision of a few future events that might take place if he does not interfere.

Even he knew that the future is not set in stone and that whatever he saw can occur differently if he and the people involved made different decisions.

In this vision, Arthur saw Balor receive a fortuitous encounter that will be the beginning of his rise in the world.

He saw Sun Wukong, climb a mountain and return with a wine gourd and a wooden stick.

As for Luke, he saw him entering a secret realm, and when he came out, his entire aura was transformed.

It wasn't clear what kind of transformation would take place but Arthur knew that it would make Luke much more powerful.

Thinking of what he saw for the three, Arthur nodded his head repeatedly, "I did not choose wrongly after all."

But then, Arthur frowned as he thought of the last vision he saw.

"A storm is coming, and I need to be prepared."

"The Grand Martial Arts Tournament...is only just the prelude."
