Emerging from the portal, we appeared in a field, with an incredible view of the smaller mountains in the sect. It was clear we were on the huge mountain I saw from the Airship. The clouds moving around below us, poking in and out of the different mountains, which from this perspective you could see each one of them had a symbol on them denoting their area of expertise. The closest ones being the alchemy and Formation sigils on two huge mountains right in front of us. It was quite the sight.

"That will be your view waking up every morning, its quite nice isn't it."

I could only nod. I was going to be living here, even my area as a nascent soul cultivator wasn't as nice as this place, I seemed to have leaped over the dragons gates pretty high. Turning around, the amazement just seemed to compound as the immense mansions that appeared before my eyes, that rivaled the one the Ghost devouring Sect leader had. There were 14 of them. It was incredible.

"Now my compound has been left abandoned for the past 100 years or so, so It might be a little dusty, I am going to declare you as my chief disciple"

Pointing to my new abode, he quickly disappeared, ready to put into action his new plan. I wasn't totally happy about that but the opportunity that this was presenting is still very solid. Walking towards my new home, i was contemplating the best ways to invest this new found power. I could very easily create a team within the sect that promotes chaos, add many unknown variables to the mix, that was the way I could go about it, of that I was sure. Coming up to the giant house, I was put even more in awe of it all. Even just the spiritual power in the surroundings would be enough to get me to core formation in a matter of days.

This would mean a huge change to my plans, especially with the cultivation assistant array that was for sure in the abode. This was going to be a big deal. I could feel that much already.

Walking through the beautiful landscape towards the house, I had to remind myselfs of the risks and I couldn't get ahead of myself. Just as I was about to enter the abode, I felt a wave of energy come out over and around me. With that wave of power that seemed to radiate all throughout the sect, came a message that I wasn't best pleased to see.

"Grand Elder Leo has taken on a new chief disciple. Bryen Kringer is now the Chief disciple of Grand Elder Leo, as well as the Prime Disciple of the Towering Mountain Blacksmith school, Rejoice for our great sect will only become greater"

Fantastic, now there were a lot more targets on my back than there might have already been. I wasn't sure if this Grand Elder knew about the potential risks, as the powers that be probably still assumed I at least had some sort of soul burn, even if their instruments say otherwise.

They would still have a bit of lingering doubt. Especially now that I pretty much immediately trade up for a Grand Elder over my original position in the hierarchy, that just seemed to scream shady.

I was stopped from entering the abode, once again by a few more local shouts. The force on them was also far greater than the gentle swell of information that had been the original message. So the force of the shouts themselves stopped me in their tracks. That was far more believable when I saw the people stopping, they all had similar sigils on their robes that Chu had, just with a little more embellishment. The other thing was that they were either Peak golden Core practitioners or low Nascent Soul, these must have been the Chief disciples of the other Grand Elders, they all seemed a bit annoyed that they now had a peer that hadn't even reached foundation Building yet.

"Who the hell are you?"

One of the Nascent Soul cultivators took the lead, he also seemed like the most annoyed about my existence for whatever reason. So that in itself wasn't exactly a good sign. He landed right in front of me. His aura blossoming out to try and bring me to the ground. The abode recognizing me as the owner, sent out quite a strong spiritual array to stop him, so that was good. It didn't totally stop the titanic force of the powerful nascent soul, who rivaled even my prime Soul. Even more complications thrown into the mix. I had to come out strong though, because for the moment I was supposed to be the naive kid from the countryside, who hasn't had to deal with any martial tyranny before.

"My name is Byren, I am the new disciple of Elder Leo, he says that i have the perfect Constitution to practice the Emerald body"

The mention of emerald body seemed to take the aggressive guy by surprise. He even stepped back a little bit, that was both a good and bad sign. At least the methods he was passing down to me were something potent that could even make the disciple of another Grand Elder step back in shock.

Unfortunately that would put even more targets on my back. With that reaction it set my resoluteness. I was now in an incredibly risky position, but the ultimate downsides would just be my death. With this amount of risk I could introduce a lot of chaos very quickly. I may as well just keep putting targets on my back. That should be the only way to proceed, there was no reason to mitigate the risk, so I may as well just go all into a strategy, even if that blows up in my face, the Prime wouldn't have lost much, and we might actually be able to bring down the most powerful sect in the region down a notch.
