Ascension of the immortal Asura
chapter-417

John walked over to his parents, who stared at him with an unsure expression on their face. They didn't know how John would react after finding out the truth and talking to his real mother.

"Did you find the answers you were looking for?" Barden asked his son.

"Somewhat," John replied, before embracing both his parents. The three reconciled all their feelings and emotions, while the ship sped forward towards the Heavenly Lightning Sect.

…

A week later, the flying ship arrived within the sect grounds of the Heavenly Lightning Sect. The event had been uneventful, which is exactly what everyone wanted at the moment after the recent series of tumultuous events.

The Fenix Clan members all looked down through the transparent floor in a daze as they gazed at the Heavenly Lightning Sect. The sect, which was nestled in the valleys of a majestic mountain range, appeared like a land of paradise to them.

The sect itself was far larger than they could have ever imagined, and the buildings were massive and grand as well.

"Wow, this is amazing," one of the Fenix Clan members blurted out.

"Right! I thought our Fenix Clan was amazing, but this place puts us to shame. I guess we truly are frogs in a well," another member replied while shaking his head at himself.

"Look! Look at that building in the center of the sect! It's massive!" another excitedly exclaimed as they spotted the Heavenly Lightning Palace.

"Hey John," one of the younger members around his age called out. "What type of status do you have within the sect?"

"I guess I could say that I'm pretty popular," John replied with a wry smile.

"That's so cool!" the youth replied with much enthusiasm.

John could only smile at the reactions of his clan, as his reaction when he first entered the Heavenly Lightning Sect was mostly the same. In fact, his first encounter with the sect was almost dying to Elder Ragur's drake, which was far more embarrassing than what his clan was doing right now.

John's smile soon turned into a look of contemplation as he gazed down at the sect grounds below, as well as the sky above it.

As they reached the very center of the sect, he was able to spot two other flying ships however above the sect. Each ship was incredibly elegant and regal, and John was sure that their quality did not lose out to his master's flying ship.

On the ground below, a throng of people had gathered in the courtyard before the Heavenly Lightning Palace.

John walked over to his master, who was standing at the helm of the ship. The ship began to veer off to the side, heading for the War Hall which his master lorded over.

"What's going on?" John asked Lilian as he walked up to her. "The sect seems to be in quite a buzz right now...and those two flying ships above the sect."

Lilian glanced at John and nodded her head. "You're right, there is something going on. It seems that the representatives from Divine Martial Continents Honorable Alliance and Forbidden Alliance have arrived. They arrived quite sooner than expected," his master explained. "Normally a small sect like the Bloodfiend Sect would be far below the Forbidden Alliances notice. Something strange seems to be going on."

"The Divine Martial Continent?" John replied as he gazed at the two flying ships in the air. "Why are we headed to the War Hall?"

"To safely shelter your clan members for now," Lilian explained. "We'll deal with their branch establishment after we deal with the two alliance factions."

John nodded his head in agreement at his master's words, and the ship sped towards the War Hall. It arrived quickly, and landed in the main courtyard of the War Hall, just before the War Palace. Everyone quickly departed the ship as instructed, and stood in the courtyard staring at awe at the surroundings.

Just the War Hall alone was bigger than the Fenix Clan, and its gothic style buildings drew the intrigue of all who looked at them.

"Vice-Sect Leader!" a Heaven Tribulation Elder called out as they sped towards the ship after its arrival. "Its good to have you back!"

Many other War Hall members quickly gathered around the ship as well, greeting their leader with great enthusiasm. Their questioning gazes quickly looked over at the Fenix Clan, and one couldn't help but ask about it.

"Who are these people?"

The Fenix Clan all had weak cultivation bases, and so they were unsure why the Vice Sect Leader would bother with transporting them to the sect.

"These are members of John's Clan," Lilian explained.

"The Youth War Hall Master's Clan?" one of the Elder's exclaimed in slight surprise.

However, the one who was the most surprised was John, as he heard himself be called the "Young War Hall Master."

"When did I start being called by that name?" John couldn't help but ask. He had never received any such status or name before.

The Elder looked over at John, and instead of looking at him like a disciple, his gaze carried much more respect, like he was looking at a superior.

"Since we heard what you did," the Elder explained. "News of you destroying the Bloodfiend Sect has spread across this entire continent. Your name has truly shaken the entire continent. With you accomplishing such a feat, naturally you have become the Young Master of the War Hall, second only to the Vice-Sect Leader herself."

John stood there in silence for a moment before shaking his head. The Fenix Clan next to John all stared at him with stunned awe, almost not believing what they were hearing. Their very own Young Master was already famous across the entire Yuan Continent, and seemed to be of paramount importance to the sect.

Barden laughed boisterously as he heard this. "Such a thing is only natural for my son."

He felt himself be hit on the shoulder by Rachel, who was embarrassed by her husband's antics. Barden quickly quieted down after being scolded by his wife, while the Vice-Sect Leader addressed the War Hall once more.

"Take care of the Fenix Clan members, and ensure their comfort and safety." she instructed before turning to John.

"Let's go," she said to him before flying off towards the Heavenly Lightning Palace. John nodded at his parents in reassurance before taking to the skies as well, flying towards the meeting of the Divine Martial Continent Alliances.

'This will be my first experience with anything related to the Divine Martial Continent. I wonder what it will be like.'
