“Whoa! In all my years as part of the sect, this is the first time I’ve seen Madam Daniella bend over
backwards to extend an invitation to someone!”
“Why did Severin refuse? His decision makes zero sense!
“As long as he joins the Sixth Mountain, he’ll become a seventh–grade alchemist in a few more years!”
“I would’ve agreed without hesitation if I were in his shoes!”
The onlookers felt that Severin had done a blasphemous act by turning down such a momentous
opportunity. They all glared at Severin with resentment on their faces. Feeling slightly uneasy at the way
that they were all looking at him, Severin was about to return to Pearl Light Isle when several streams of
light flashed across the sky. Several prominent figures had shown up.
Leading them was a tall, muscular man who exuded a certain brutish character and had pronounced
bronze muscles. Behind him was a man clad in simple training clothes and carrying a sword on his back.
The sword seemed to embody a high–grade spiritual aura, and a terrifying presence fluctuated in the air
around him.
The strong man approached Severin, but not before smiling at Daniella and saying to her, “Haha, your
Sixth Mountain isn’t worthy of Severin.”
Daniella’s expression soured at his remark, and she shot a dissatisfied glance at the man. “What are you
insinuating. Myles?”
Severin observed their interaction with intrigue. Though he did not know Myles, he associated the name with the Seventh Mountain’s peak master–a swordsman par excellence. Myles Merkl was a level nine paragon who boasted extraordinary strength. He was also recognized as the strongest in terms of combat ability among the nine peak masters.
Myles ignored Daniella and came up to Severin. He scrutinized Severin from head to toe, occasionally letting out grunts of admiration. Severin felt uneasy with his gaze and was about to say something when.
Myles finally spoke up.
“Congratulations for your successful progression to the seventh floor of the Alchemy Tower,” Myles declared. He waved his hand, produced a token, and handed it to Severin. “Here’s the token to the Seventh Mountain. Feel free to visit us whenever you have the time. You can choose any spiritual weapon
from our Sword Tomb.”
Unlike Daniella, Myles sought not to recruit Severin as his disciple because he understood that Severin’s status as a core disciple was equivalent to that of the sect’s elders. Besides, Severin’s progression to the near future. If Severin continued to make rapid progress and become the next sect
leader, then he would be positioned higher in the hierarchy than Myles or Daniella! Given the likelihood that Severin would clinch a quota to Midland, even the elders and the guardians would have to look up to him.
With that in mind, Myles’s aim was nothing more than to establish friendly relations. Knowing that Severin was proficient in swordsmanship, he offered access to their Sword Tomb as a sign of goodwill.
Severin accepted the token with a smile and cupped his hands in gratitude. “Thank you very much.”
The time that Severin spent in the sect allowed him to familiarize himself with the Nine Mountains. The Sword Tomb on the Seventh Mountain housed swords from the sect’s ancestors, including various treasures as well as divine swords with different swordwills. Severin’s Scarletsky Sword, for example, was rumored to have originated from the Sword Tomb and was only placed in the sect’s Treasure Pavilion sometime later.
