The Story Never Ends

After diving at least 30 feet deep, he still couldn't see the bottom of it.

"I can already feel faint pressure here. It seems true that even Golden Core cultivators won't be able to reach the bottom due to pressure. Let's see how far I can go."

After reaching 50 feet deep, his body couldn't handle the pressure. So, he used his spiritual energy and the pressure finally went away.

"At level 15, I can only go 50 feet deep without using my spiritual energy. I don't know how long I can last if I try to go deeper. But someone might notice me if I stay here much longer. Should I return or not?" while he was pondering, his Mind-Eye caught a different type of breath coming from the bottom.

When he looked over, he saw a strange thing floating up and down. It looked like a burning fire but it was black in color. "Eh..what is this?"

He got closer and felt its complete breath. The breath was dark and disgusting. It was also trying to influence his mind.

"Don't tell me this is the so-called devil due to which the sect got destroyed many years ago?"

"But it looks too weak. Are there stronger ones below or did they all die many years ago and only the weak ones were left?"

"Will I get experience points, if I manage to kill them?"

Davion had many questions unanswered.

"If I make a move now, it might create disturbances. It looks like I have to sneak here at night." Making up his mind Davion returned back and got into the posture of meditation.

Time passed by and Sect Master Thaddeus came with his hands behind his back.

"Ok, it's enough for this week. Everyone can come out." He said in a deep voice.

Everyone came out and started to leave. Seeing Davion coming out, he asked, "How did you feel and how was your progress?"

Davion bowed and replied earnestly, "Cultivating here is ten times better than outside. If I could stay here for a day, I could have finished tempering my muscles. But I couldn't take it much longer."

"Haha, it looks like you can temper your muscles much earlier. But you should not be too hasty." Thaddeus laughed and gave him some pointers before leaving.

Hendrix was looking at them from a corner with jealousy. These days he has been observing them keenly. Especially, he could see that the Sect Master was always observing Davion and guiding him more frequently.

Before Davion came, he would always get more attention from the Sect Master. But these days, the Sect Master only gave him a few pointers in the lecture hall, and outside he would only speak a few words with him.

"It looks like I have to do something or else I won't get the secret art." Hendrix made up his mind.

Like usual, Davion went to the library and read books.

Thaddeus was watching him from a distance. "It looks like I don't have to keep an eye on him anymore. He doesn't have any improper thoughts and is quite honest. I should not doubt him anymore."

Later at night, Davion got ready to sneak inside the Cultivation Pool. "Using my Mind-Eye, I have been observing that the sect master has been following me the past days. He might have got suspicious when I started to show off my talent. Indeed, this is not his fault, everyone would get suspicious when someone talented joins a sect which is in a very poor state."

"But now, he has confirmed that I am not suspicious. He has been talking with me frequently and giving me pointers more often. Not only that, he used to keep an eye around my cave. But today it's empty. This is the perfect time to leave."

He used his spiritual energy and without making a sound, he followed the same path taken by the Sect Master in the morning. In a few minutes, he was already in front of the pool.

"I should hurry. I must return before the morning bell rings." He took out a sword from his space ring and immediately dived into the pool.

Same as the morning, he used his Mind-Eye and went deep into the pool. He saw that there were more creatures than in the morning. When he came near to them, he could feel that they were producing some strange field that was trying to influence his mind. But they were too weak.

He channeled some part of his spiritual energy into the sword and slashed it casually straight to that creature. The creature immediately dissipated into black smoke and vanished.

"As I thought, they are completely made from the energy coming from below. Not only that, but I also got a few experience points. But the points are too few. They are only equal to those wolves that I killed when I came to this world."

"These creatures have no mind at all. I killed one of them but the others are still lingering over there. It looks like I can earn a lot of experience points. Hehe.." He licked his lips.
