THE GREATEST SOVEREIGN

Excuse me brother wait.” Zeno shouted towards man.

The man stopped and turned towards the group.

‘Huh, where did this people came from? I never saw this type of clothes before. Bunch of weirdos.’ The man thought for a moment.

" Huh. You called me?” The man asked Zeno with a confused face.

“Yes, I have something to ask you. If you could hear us it will be a great help.” Zeno said and closed the distance between him and the man.

“Ok, but speak fast I have something important to do.” The man replied.

“What is your name brother?” Zeno asked the man.

“I am Bai Qin, an outer sect disciple of Clear Sky Sect” the man replied proudly.

“Oh, actually my friends and I came from a foreign land and don’t know anything about this land, so we were thinking of you could tell us something about this world. Don’t worry I will pay you.” Zeno asked Bai.

‘Oh, they are even ready to pay for the information, they might be kids of a rich family came here to see the outside world.’ Bai thought to himself.

“This is the Northern continent, its capital is Sun city, it is around 5000 kms from here. There is a city near to this place known as Jade city. If you want to stay here for few days then go there and check-in any of the inn over there. The place is also cheap as it is situated on the outskirts of the Northern continent.” Bai replied to Zeno’s question.

“Ok, thank you for your kindness brother Bai. By any chance are you also going to Jade city?” Zeno asked again.

“Yes, if you want I can take you there.” Bai replied.

“That will be a great help.” Zeno replied with a bright smile on his face.

“Let me tell this to my group” Zeno then returned to his group and explained them the situation.

“Are you sure we can believe him. He look a shady though. See” Sia said in a suspicious way.

“Don’t worry he is a good guy and moreover we don’t have any other choice.” Zeno reassured the group.

The group then followed Bai’s lead.

“Brother Bai I was thinking that if we could join any sect in Jade city. The reason why we came on this expedition is to become martial artist like you.” Zeno asked Bai seriously.

“Oh, so you want to become martial artist. Then you can take the martial arts examination of our Clear Sky Sect here in Jade city that is going to be held after 3 days.” Bai replied to Zeno.

“Then, that will be great. We will do th-” Zeno was going to reply but he was cut of by Bai.

“But it will be very hard. Though this is just a branch of the main Clear Sky Sect, that is situated in Sun city, but still many strong candidates will appear every year to take the examination. The reason behind this is that Clear Sky Sect is one of the four great sects of Northern Continent.” Bai replied coldly.

“Then it is going to be a bit problematic. Actually we don’t know any martial arts techniques, because no one practices martial arts from the place we came. By any chance do you know a place from where we can get basic martial arts techniques that we can practice to pass the examination.” Zeno asked Bai with a serious face.

“I do know a person who sell basic martial arts. But will you be able to learn it within 2 days? Martial arts is not a child’s play. It needs complete dedication and hard work, that you can’t achieve in 2 days time.” Bai replied in an angry tone.

“It’s ok, we don’t have any other choice except this.” Zeno replied.

‘Huh, ignorant fools. Don’t know a thing about martial arts and came here to become martial artist. They will utterly humiliate themselves in the examination. Then they will understand the cruel reality.’

The rest of the group were talking between themselves and following Bai and Zeno’s lead.

“By the way what are the levels of cultivation in this world?” Zeno asked casually.

“Foundation, body tempering, soul refining and godland. Each of them have 10 stages” Bai replied.

“Oh, only these four?”

“No, there exists higher ranks cultivators outside this city. But I don’t know what are the ranks as I have never went to the outside world before.” Bai replied.

“No it’s ok”

“We have arrived” Bai said.

After walking for around 15 minutes they came in front of a huge gate. The city was surrounded by huge walls from all sides. From outside it looked like a huge fortress. There were two guards standing in front of the massive gate. Any one can tell that they are strong just by looking at their physiques.

As soon as the group arrived in front of the gate, they were stopped by the two guards. It was compulsory to show your identity and mention the reason of your visit to the guards before entering the city.

The group asked Zeno what is going on here? Why they can’t enter the city?

“They are asking for our identities and the reason why we came here.” Zeno replied.

“Then what should we do now. We don’t have any identity.” Hiyensia said.

“Don’t worry I will solve this matter. They will always listen to a disciple of Clear Sky Sect. When they ask you why you came here, tell them you wish to join Clear Sky Sect. It will be fine.” Bai replied to the confused group.

After this Zeno, Leo and Bai went to the guards and talked for few minutes. The guards listened to Bai and let them enter the City.

When the group enter the city they saw buildings, shops they only saw in cartoons, people were wearing clothes similar to Bai. The surrounding environment was totally different from earth. The people around them were also startled to see a group of over 20 members wearing clothes they never saw before. This was causing the group to feel a bit uncomfortable with all these gazes from people around them.

To break the awakward situation Zeno asked Bai “do you know any shop from where we can buy clothes of this land? You see everyone is staring at us and it is making the group feel a bit uncomfortable.”

“Yeah I know a good shop, bit it will be costly though.” Bai replied.

“That won’t be a problem. Just take us to the shop.” Zeno replied.

“Guys, first we are going to buy the martial arts techniques from Bai’s friend then we will go for shopping. We are going to buy clothes for us or else they won’t stop staring at us. We will aslo buy weapons for us. After that we will go to a inn to stay for the next 2 days before going to the Clear Sky Sect.” Zeno mentioned what they are going to do next to the group

“Do what you think right, I don’t know anything about this world.” Rik said.

“Yes, we will follow your lead” without asking any question the rest of the group nodded their heads agreeing with what Rik said just now.

“Then, bro Bai lead the way” Zeno turned towards Bai with a smile.
