《Death… And Me》Death... And Me

Elder Guliva had been following them all the way to Majorias. Every time the 10km test worked, he grew more excited. Finally, he couldn't help but breathe cold when he saw Majorias City's Gate in the distance.
Just like Rean said, the regular pulse of Electrical power couldn't go all the way to the Sect anymore after 180km. However, that was only considering the smallest amount of energy that Rean had instructed the Lightning Affinity Disciples to use. After that, Rean simply told the guy to double the power, which was an effortless task for that disciple. Rean made sure to make the cable thick enough to hold high tension, so the increase changed nothing for the cable itself. If Rean wasn't wrong, that disciple could increase his Electrical output by another ten times, and the cable would still be able to easily hold the tension.
Sure enough, the Electrical signal ran all the way to the Sect's entrance once more. When Rean received his confirmation, he simply nodded with a smile. As for Guliva, he already felt excited at that point. By the end of the journey, the Lightning Affinity Disciple had no need to increase the power output anymore. Just like that, 300km was achieved without any issues!
Elder Guvila saw the last test inside the City working without problems too and laughed out loud.
"Hahaha! Great! We can simply use some simple combination of signals, and messages could be delivered instantly without any cost. How good will that be? The impact in the Sect's affairs will be huge! Rean, I need you to come back with me to report it to the elders in the Sect straight away."
Rean nodded without caring much. First of all, he was pretty sure it would work to start with, so it wasn't any big surprise. It only gave him a lot of work, that's all.

"Sure. I'll take this opportunity to ask the elders there for something else too."
Guliva didn't know what Rean wanted to ask, but he was pretty sure that they would accept after hearing what Rean had just done.
Guliva didn't want to wait anymore. He simply grabbed Rean and dashed away. But before that, he warned the cultivators who were there as well.
"I don't want to hear a single word about it outside. Anyone who breaks this rule will be punished according to the Sect's rules. Also, come back to the Sect immediately."
Without even looking back, he disappeared in the distance with Rean. The disciples were taken aback by that order, but they quickly recovered and left too.
With Guliva's cultivation and speed, it only took them two hours to cover all the 300km back to the Sect. Guliva also warned the other Lightning Affinity cultivator at the Sect entrance and quickly rushed inside. The guy, obviously, wouldn't dare to say a single word now.
In just a few minutes, Guliva arrived at Hulian's residence. He had Rean explain everything and confirmed that everything was true. Hulian couldn't help but feel excited. Right after, he took out a Voice Transmission Talisman and said a few things on it. The Talisman quickly burned before completely disappearing.
"Come with me, we are going to see the Sect Master."
Rean was taken aback. The things escalated a lot faster than he expected.
Hulian then brought Rean and Guliva all the way up to the mountain. There, one could see a big building with its top covered by the clouds. However, Rean didn't have time to admire it since Hulian brought him inside straight away.
He quickly noticed that several other Inner Sect elders appeared one after another as well. He still remembered most of them from the Sect Entrance Exam. They were all waiting in front of a big gate, not daring to enter without permission.

"Hulian, what happened? Why did you summon a sect meeting?"
Hulian smiled before saying.
"Wait for the Sect Master to call us inside the room. I'll explain everything there."
The other elders looked at each other, perplexed. They were even more puzzled by the fact that Rean was there as well. Why would Hulian bring a kid to see the Sect Master?
Suddenly, a voice came from behind the gate.
"Enter."
Hulian took a deep breath and pushed the gate open. Rean and the other elders quickly followed in. Inside, one could only see several seats. At the very center, there was a young lady who seemed to be in her mid-twenties. Obviously, she was Mia Orzute, the Dalamu Sect's Master.
On both her sides, one could see another seven people. Three women and four men. Rean recognized five of them, especially a certain woman, Elder Tiria. For a second, she reminded Rean of that night enjoyi- cough, cough... reminded Rean of his attempt to heal her injury made with Umbral Energy.
As for the other two, Rean didn't know who they were. However, it wasn't hard to guess that they were also Core Sect Elders, who he hasn't seen before.
The woman in the middle then looked at Hulian before asking.
"Hulian, why did you call this sect meeting? Although it isn't much of a problem for us to gather, it would be better if we don't interrupt others unnecessarily."
Hulian bowed to the lady and answered.
"Hulian was aware, but this was necessary as well."
Hulian then looked at Rean and called him forward. He did the same thing with Guliva, who came just as a witness to Rean's work.
"Explain everything to the Sect Master."
Rean gulped down some saliva as he looked at that lady. Even though she seemed very young, Rean could guess that she was probably older than most elders here.
[So we met this woman again.]
Rean was taken aback by Sister Orb's words. However, he didn't have time to ask her about what she was talking about.
"Paying respects to Sect Master. I'll explain everything to the best of my ability."
Rean knows very well what such a communication system would mean for the Sect, so he was quite excited to be here now. Rean then took a deep breath and began to tell everything about his project during the last few days. When he finally talked about the part where he tested the Electrical Signal up to 300km in Majorias City, all the elders' expressions changed. Even Mia looked somehow surprised. It's just that she was a lot more collected.
"Rean Larks, right? Is what you said true?"
Rean nodded.
"This disciple wouldn't dare to lie to Sect Master."
Mia then looked at Guliva, who quickly bowed and confirmed Rean's word.
"This lowly one can guarantee that Rean is talking the truth, Sect Master."
Mia nodded before looking at everyone.
"This is indeed a huge thing for our Sect. The problem here is another thing, though. How can we hide this... errr... Electrical Communication System... from others?"
All the elders narrowed their eyes. The cables are expanded for long distances. Hiding this new communication system would be too hard.
Rean, on the other hand, immediately shook his head.
"Perdon me for being blunt, Sect Master. But I believe that hiding this would be one of the most idiotic things we could ever do."
Everyone looked at Rean, surprised. They had to admit that he had some guts to talk with the Sect Master like that.
