Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao

Chapter 59 Officially Outer Disciples Of The Heavenly Sword Sect

*****************¶¶*****************

"Follow me."

The inner disciple Thomas who registered them was the one that spoke.

Thomas led them to the Outer Disciple Residence and gave to them the white robe of outer disciples and assigned them to their own courtyard.

Arthur found out that the deeper one went into the sect, the denser the spirit essence energy was.

This will speed the cultivation of anyone cultivating in such an environment.

Arthur had never lived in such an environment before. He had seen them in the palace and the Emperor had once assigned one such place to him.

But Arthur declined as he did not want to cause outrage within the Hartfield Royal Family.

Who would be okay seeing a precious place filled with the best of pure spirit energy be given to a 'waste'?

The new disciples were assigned to houses in the boundary which had the lowest concentration of spirit energy compared to the rest.

The inner disciple Thomas handed over keys with a number attached to them to Arthur and the rest.

After that, they all went to their assigned place of residence, where they changed to their outer disciple robe. When they were done, they were called out to meet with Thomas again where he briefed them on the things they should know about the sect.

"Now that you are officially disciples of the sect there are certain things that you must know. And the first of them is the rules and regulations of the sect."

As Thomas spoke, some outer disciples went about to share two books that had the title 'Rules and Regulations' and 'Student Handbook' on their cover with the new disciples.

"When you return to your room be sure to take your time to go through every rule in the book, thoroughly. Just so you know, there are death penalties if some rules are broken!"

Many who had the idea to just gloss through the book or leave it for later immediately changed their minds when they heard that.

"Tomorrow you will all go to the contribution hall where you will receive your contribution tokens. These tokens are what will contain your contribution points which is the only acceptable currency in the sect."

"Contribution points can be gotten by making contributions to the sect, completing sect issued missions, or selling cultivation resources, martial arts techniques, or even winning a sect coordinated contest."

"With contribution points, you can purchase cultivation resources in the sect that you may not be able to find easily outside. Moreover, you can also use it to purchase high-level martial arts techniques or even cultivation methods."

"We also have a place where you can purchase graded weapons for your own use."

Thomas went silent a bit to let his words sink in before continuing, "This now brings me to the five important places in the sect that you must pay attention to."

"Aside from the Contribution Hall that I spoke of earlier, we also have the Martial Arts Library, Alchemy Hall, Weapons Hall, and the Disciplinary Hall. Their names are self-explanatory, if you want more information they will be in the student handbook that has been given to you."

"Finally some advice to you all. Before you go about trying to take on sect missions, first increase your cultivations to the Gold Core Realm as every outer disciple that does not breakthrough in one year after entering the sect will be reduced to a labor disciple with no status within the sect!"

Thomas left after saying that last piece but not before giving Arthur a glance.

'Hmm?' Arthur noticed but paid no heed to it.

Meanwhile, Thomas was thinking something in his heart, 'This should be one of those 'main characters' that you told me about Arthur. I wonder...when I will see you old friend...it has been so many years...how much has changed...'

In a hall within the sect, a secret meeting was being held by the elders.

Only those whose rank was that of Great Elders were here. Along with the Left Guardian and Right Guardian Elders.

And in the head seat, sat the Vice Sect Leader.

"Let us begin!" The Vice Sect Leader whose name was Argath Glaber ordered the start of the discussion.

"You all know why we are here, so I would like to know your opinions on the matter," Argath said with a neutral tone.

The Great Elders looked at each other first thinking of how they should approach the matter.

There was none here that was ignorant of the fact that the Vice Sect Leader wanted his son to be the next Prime Disciple. And before now, everyone thought that it would be him.

But the appearance of Arthur had thrown all of that out of the window because of the rule that the Sect's Founder set since the beginning of the sect.

There were some who took a neutral stance on this matter and would go with whatever was decided, and there were some who were in support of following the old rule set by the founder.

As for the rest, they were full supporters of the Vice Sect Leader.

"I don't suggest we follow the old rule. In this world, a person's value is decided by his or her strength. Let the disciples compete amongst themselves who is stronger and more fit to be the Prime Disciple." One of the Great Elders was the first to speak.

This one was in support of Argath and his son.

"That will not be too good no? Wouldn't we be disrespecting the founder if we did things like that?" Another disagreed.

"I believe the founder will understand if he were here." Someone else chimed in.

? "Believe it or not, the other Prime Disciple Candidates will be very disappointed if we were to announce that the Prime disciple of the sect is chosen ahead of time and it was even a new disciple."

"That is true, so what do we do then? We can not fully discard the rule of the founder, but we can not just make him the Prime disciple, at least not publicly."

The place went silent again as they couldn't decide on what to do.

The Left and Right Guardian Elders said nothing as they were part of the neutral faction as is required of their duties. They would not normally participate in meetings like this but this matter was a very important one.

"I have heard what you all said, here is what we will do..." Argath finally spoke and made the final decision.

In order to be fair, he decided to award Arthur with a lot of contribution points, and rather than announce him as the Prime Disciple, he would be made a Prime Disciple Candidate which was only available to the Elite Ranked disciples of the sect.

The final decision on this matter will be on hold until the Sect Leader returns to duty.

"This meeting is concluded, you can all leave."

Soon, only the Vice Sect Leader was left in the hall.

'It appears that you will finally have a challenge, Son. I will leave this for you to handle, and I hope you will not disappoint me.'
