633 Replenishment

"What's this?" I asked as we arrived to the entrance of the sect. From afar all I saw was simple houses and caves far away, but the moment I took a step beyond the gates of the main sect, it was as if I had entered an entirely different world.

"It is our protective formation. Though not many would dare come here to seek trouble with the Slaughter Sect, we still have to keep up appearances. The Red Sun himself had made this," he said.

This was not something I had seen before. The entire sky above the real sect was pitch black with several smaller stars lighting this dreary dark night. As for the realm here, it was like a massive piece of land that was floating by itself in this darkness.

"A spatial fold… in the beyond, you built your sect inside a spatial fold?!" I said.

The herald had a proud smile on his face. "Yes, this was done by the Red Sun himself. Though it isn't much of a secret, this is our bastion. The outer sect that you have seen earlier is what the people of the beyond think that is the Slaughter Sect. but the reality of things is that the sect itself exists here in this fold. This is the inner sect," he explained.

"I see…"

The entire area was at least a hundred times bigger than the outside outer sect. And the number of people roaming about felt like I was going through a bustling city.

Several disciples were interested in the arrival of new visitors.

And you could even hear many of the young female cultivators shouting like fangirls from behind the crowd admiring the two new 'hot' looking guys.

Some of the disciples even asked the herald directly, "Are they new inner students? We haven't seen them before."

"Have some decorum of respect! These are his lordship's guests! Treat them as you would treat a guest, now move out of the way," the herald said as he cut through the crowd.

We followed after the herald until we arrived to the largest building in the inner sect area. A massive palace like building where cultivators that had unfathomable level of strength moved about.

Old Fu's expression turned serious as he noticed the people guarding the entrance of the palace.

"Even the guards are at the void shattering stage…" he said.

"I see," I replied.

The Void Shattering stage is one stage above the Void Stage, and that means that they're the same major realm as old Fu.

And these were nothing but guards. Granted, Old Fu lost a huge portion of his cultivation and had dropped all the way to the Void Shattering Stage, but this meant one thing. That if the owner of this sect, if they wanted malice to befall us, we can't do anything to stop it.

However, we weren't stopped or halted at the gate. The herald seemed to be pretty well known, and the guards allowed us in.

"I can't follow you from here onward. Please place the token I had given you on your chest," he said.

I did as asked and soon a couple young female disciples who's beauty was comparable to Yuyu showed up in front of me.

"Please dearest guest, follow us," they said.

Their voices brimming with youth and had a hint of charm to them. 'Charm cultivation, a nasty thing,' I shook my head as I increased the generation of a blood thickening poison in my body.

This slowed my heart rate and by doing that instantly removed the charm effect. Old Fu on the other hand coughed once to voice his annoyance and immediately the charm effect was dropped.

"Do that one more time and I'll take that as an offense," he said. Stating clear boundaries and immediately got the two girls to apologize.

"Dear guest please forgive us, we just wanted to make your stay more comfortable," they said in unison.

They practiced this I'm sure.

"Guide us to our room please," he said, his tone was still commanding even after asking nicely.

The two guilds headed forward to the nearest staircase and led us to a nearby room. "This is one of our best rooms, I hope you enjoy the view," they said.

They weren't wrong when it came to the view. The entire room had beautiful decoration all over it. Expensive decoration that would utterly blow the general of the Sea of Demon's room out of competition.

The wood making the floor itself seemed to be ancient dragon wood. And the furniture was made of gold jade and precious ancient wood. Along with a mesmerizing view over a massive lake.

The lake hosted several massive carps that occasionally leapt over the waters. And from the depth of the water you could feel a powerful yet sharp Qi emanating from inside it.

"There is a sword at the depth of the lake… seems to be a special treasure," said old Fu.

Yet I wasn't too interested in something like that, what I wanted was some piece of mind and a rest that I haven't had for a while.

I turned to the two girls, "I need some time to rest. Only call me if it is urgent," I said.

"As you wish," they said and calmly closed the door to the room.

I began by looking around the room for any listening mechanism or spying devices, and was surprised to not find anything.

"It is one of the eight sun's sect, there can't be any misshapes."

"I suppose, the shame would be unbearable if one finds out that their conversations and secrets are being spied on in one of the eight sun's homes. Good," I said as I muttered, "Automaton,"

Soon, the automaton showed up, "Would like to enter, my lord."

"Yes, I need to make some things, Old Yu, do you wish to come?" I asked.

"It would be my pleasure, I wish to explore this realm you open and enter at will," he said.

The two of us entered the pagoda. The automaton arrived to welcome us.

"Take care of Old Fu," I said to the automaton.

He nodded to me in agreement and I turned to the old man, "I've yet to tell you my full name," I said.

"I guess I earned enough trust by now," he said.

"Indeed you have, you're a dependable comrad. My real name isn't Shen Mo, that's my avatar's name. Mine is Shen Bao," I said.

The old man nodded to me in acknowledgement. "You can move about the whole of the pagoda. The automaton can take you anywhere you want, and I feel you might be interested in the fifth floor, but do well to explore all over first."

"I shall take your advice to heart," he said. "But what about you?" he asked.

"I've gotten a really good reward from the Dusking Sun. Most of the metals inside that holding bag are things I've never used before, and many of the herbs and plants are stuff I only read about. I need to do some testing and crafting. Also reinforce and replenish many of my exhausted ammunition and troops," I said.

"I belive that would take a long time," he said.

"Not really, the time difference inside the pagoda is pretty powerful. Still, if you need me just ask the automaton he'll inform me."

"Then please go on ahead, I also would need to consume the bodhi roots that I received, hopefully I'll climb back to the Origin Realm," he said.

"I wish you luck then," I said.

The old man nodded to me and followed the automaton, while I went to the white space of the pagoda.

"Now then," I said as I began pouring the content of the holding bag on the ground. "How about we make some magic!"
