The Story Never Ends

On the platform, a beautiful woman wearing blue robes was standing near the orb. She had a crown on her head. She put her hands on the orb and closed her eyes. The orb slowly turned into a red color and strong heat waves gathered around her. Slowly a projection of a golden sun formed behind her head. The heat waves radiated by the sun were very strong even though it was just a projection.

Seeing this Joel laughed out loud, "HAHA, I finally found a good candidate after waiting for so long. This is one of the Nine Holy Fires; the Golden Sun Fire."

Jasmine said, "You are very lucky. Such a type of fire is very useful for forging artifacts and alchemy."

Nisha behind didn't understand anything about this and asked, "What are the Nine Holy Fires?"

Emma puffed her chest and replied, "These are the fires that have been bred by heavens and earth. It takes a very long time for such a fire to be born. After being saturated by the aura of heaven and earth for thousands of years, a fire will develop its soul. This fire will be like us living beings that can cultivate. So up to now, only nine holy fires have been discovered."

Ella at her side then asked with a confused look, "But how could such a fire be born from a human?"

David who had been keeping silent said, "I heard that you have to have a very high qualification to be able to capture and refine it."

Leo looked at Joel and said, "There are legends that the sect master of the Divine Smith Sect had already refined two of those holy fires."

Joel said, "There are records in my sect that when the holy fires are refined, its soul dies. The refiner then has complete control of that fire. Maybe someone passed her that fire? Or that fire might have been reincarnated into the young lady. It looks like I have to ask my elder and find out more about her background."

Rosa finally took out her hand from the orb and everything went back to normal. She saw that everyone was looking at her. So, she bowed and looked at Joel and said, "Sir, I want to join the Divine Smith Sect."

Jasmine said, "I wanted to poach her but it looks like her heart is already set upon your sect Joel."

Leo replied, "Indeed."

Joel looked at Rosa and asked in a serious tone, "Why do you want to join me? There are other sects too keeping an interest in you."

Seeing Joel looking at her seriously, Rosa got scared and immediately replied, "I heard that the disciples of this sect are rich and have many powerful artifacts to keep their lives safe. So, I wish to join them."

Listening to her, Joel had black lines on his face. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Listening to her, David also couldn't help but start laughing.

Joel couldn't do anything about them laughing. So, he simply said, "You can stay behind me, we will return to the sect after the ceremony ends."

While the ceremony continued, Davion was still collecting information about the lower grade sects.

"So, there are at least 100 lower grade sects. But most of them only accept disciples having grade 2 spiritual roots. Some of the sects only accept those grades 1 disciples as handyman disciples. But I don't want to work like that. At last, I found three sects with the lowest requirements."

"They are the Bone and Devil Sect, Iron Palm Sect, and the Beggars Sect. I heard that these sects accept disciples of all grade 1 spiritual roots and they don't care about the affinity with elements. Among all other sects, Beggar Sect is involved in protecting all civilians from evil cultivators and battle among cultivators that might occur in a city. The disciples are positioned throughout the whole world. As a result, this sect has the most number of disciples. If I join this sect, I won't be able to go and hunt the demon beasts. So, I may not have any good ways to get experience points. Hence, the possibility of joining the Beggar's Sect is almost zero."

"The Iron Palm Sect lies in the Western Mainland. This sect is famous for its palm techniques and hard body skills. Practicing hard body skills is really dangerous and you might even have internal injuries during practice. So, you need to purchase a lot of medicinal herbs to take care of yourself. So, most people won't join this sect. Even though my golden finger can solve this problem. But fighting like brutes is not my style. Let's give up on this too. Now my only option is the Bone and Devil Sect."

When he was about to make up his mind and go to the tent of Bone and Devil Sect, he heard a terrible sound coming from the platform. When he looked over, he saw a projection of a huge dragon. The dragon looked very different from the real dragon of the Mystic Beast Sect he saw yesterday. This dragon was twice the size of that dragon. It had black horns with red scales all over its body. It also had black stripes over it. Just by looking at it, Davion wanted to kneel and worship it.

When he looked over, he saw that most of the people in the crowd couldn't take it anymore and all went to their knees. He forcibly mobilized the spiritual energy in his body and managed to stand up.

"Damn, even with the golden finger, will I be able to beat that thing in the future?" Davion was completely shocked.
