《Moonlight Sword Sect》The Sect Master Of The Moonlight Sword Sect (2/2)
Advertisement
After drawing out the shape of a crescent moon above the pouch, I silently wait and begin praying for the pouch to open successfully.
*Klang!* The pouch once again made a sound which is different from before.
It was a success.
With the pouch now unlocked, I slowly open the pouch, revealing nothing but a color of pitch black inside the pouch.
Although it looks like there's nothing inside the pouch, if one uses a "spiritual consciousness" or "spiritual eye," the contents inside the pouch changes and reveals a miniaturized form of treasures and artifacts.
Without being said, I send a wisp of my consciousness inside the pouch, hoping to find the one I needed for the event that will partake right now.
Instantly, my surroundings change from being above the sky to a white hall with swords, artifacts, and treasures lying neatly around me.
Although my vision changed, I can still control my two other bodies if someone tried to foolishly attack me.
I quickly scan the area around me. From ancient books to legendary swords, I scanned them all. Although these books and items are beneficial to the disciples of other fellow masters of the sect, giving them is like giving a child a huge burden.
Also, that old man would be angry.
After scanning the entire area, I head in a particular direction. As I walk to my destination, I simply glance at the treasures from time to time. One noticeable feature is that everything is placed neatly in order. It seems old man Lu is truly obsessed with cleaning.
It's a pity he always nag though.
While walking, I finally see the item that I need. It was a statue wearing a white coat. As I go in front of the statue, I was mesmerized by the outfit the statue was wearing. It was a coat with very intricate designs and patterns with multiple gemstones over it. One can even feel how strong the coat's aura is despite that there's no one wearing it except for the statue itself.
"How did old man Lu got this seemingly otherworldly treasure?" I asked myself. This is something that even those old bastards at the other sects would usually fight for. Even I, the current sect master, is not deemed to be worthy of using treasure.
But who cares, the wedding is more important than being worthy or not.
I continue gazing at it for before using it. There's no really need to rush as time flows differently here. One second outside is equivalent to a minute here so I can continue gazing at it without anyone bothering at me.
Though it affects my vision outside.
The designs of the coat were a bunch of flowers at the bottom part of the coat and a cloud at the middle and top part of the coat. The petal part of the flowers are embedded with void gemstones, making the flowers sewn on the coat look dark violet.
Meanwhile, there were some gold lines on the cuffs and neck part of the coat, making the wearer feel like a noblesse or even a royal sovereign.
At the chest part of the coat lies a pure dark violet circle surrounded by clouds being sucked by the circle.
Seemingly endless, I gaze at the absolute darkness within the circle. Although It was just a void gemstone, one could feel the terrifying aura of the circle just by looking.

After all, this void gemstone is the product of condensed void tribulation; The tribulation where I nearly died.
Anyways, let's continue talking about the details of the coat.
Despite being a coat, there is a pair of pauldrons over the shoulder part of the coat, with the pauldrons being supreme condensed void Qi crystals instead of a normal metal one.
Oh how rich one must be to buy these kinds of crystals? With that size of void Qi crystal, I can only buy 7 at most.
Though all of my money will be depleted in turn.
Also, over the shoulder part lies a tippet with the symbol of an eclipse woven in the middle part of it. There were also gold patterns at the edge part of the tippet, making one elegant.
Finally, at the back of the coat lies the Moonlight Sword Sect symbol with each of the moon phases surrounding it. Each moon phases were embedded by a white or black gem while the sect symbol is very different— It was a crimson one, like a blood moon.
As I keep looking at every detail of the coat, I switch my consciousness' vision from inside the pouch to the hall of light. Luke and the girl were are nearing the hall gates.
Fortunately, there were huge amounts of my fellow cultivators buying or bustling around so the two had no choice but to only move slower.
Oh right, I about to tell you about why is there so many cultivators bustling around.
Well, this day is the day the emperor of the Harruth Empire will be wed to one of the masters within the sect.
Since I couldn't be bothered about the two being in-love, I granted both of them my permission to be wed. If they're in love with each other, who am I to stop them right? Oh!
I see now why Luke wants to have a marriage with the girl! I see now. Hahaha! Truly a genius!
Should I give both of them a marital gift? Hmm…
If I gave them old man Lu's items…
Hopefully, he won't mind since Luke is a descendant of his.
Yes, I should give them my gifts. And then after they raise the child, I can finally let my heart in peace as I rub my face against my nephew's child.
I hope their child would be as cute as me hahahaha!
Anyways, I have to hurry out and change my outfit. I cannot let Luke's marriage fall into ruins!
Everything needs to be perfect!
I once again, switch my consciousness' vision from the hall to the pouch.
I quickly undress the statue and take the coat as I go from each section of the area, taking everything suitable for Luke and the girl's cultivation.
From a cultivation technique to a weapon, I took them all and returned to my persona.
After returning to my persona while taking the coat and some books and weapons with me, I throw the pouch away. Instead of landing on the floor, the pouch instead vanishes.
The pouch was once again, in the void space created by the old man Lu.
*Iiiiinggg….." The door creaks slowly, implying that someone is opening it.
"Crap! They're here already! I need something to cover me! Lux Influx!" I said to myself.

Luke and the girl were here already! How are they so fast?!
Is it because of my meticulous choices when picking up items that made me slower than usual?
Argh damn it! I still hadn't changed yet!
However, as soon as I said Lux Influx, A myriad of light enveloped me, preventing anyone from seeing me. In a short span of time, I quickly place the marital gifts inside my pouch as I quickly undress before wearing the eclipse coat.
"It's so bright in here." I heard a feminine voice. It was the second realm girl.
What a lucky girl she is for having a lovely husband.
"Sect master, we are now here." I also heard Luke's voice. You too are also lucky for having such a wife.
May fate bless you two.
Despite me not being fully dressed yet, I lowered the brightness of the light for the sake of the girl.
No one can take such brightness after all.
"Eh? We are above the sky?" The girl asked.
Thankfully she isn't scared of being above.
I think she can become a promising cultivator one day.
"Please be at ease, Ms. Xiare. This is nothing but a reflection of what's happening outside. Everything that happens outside is sent into this hall." Luke replied.
Oh how nice of you Luke to reply calmly but why are you calling your wife Ms. Xiare?
You're too kind for your own good!
Also, It seems that the girl's name is Xiare.
"Oh haha…" Xiare replied back with a cute laugh.
"Please be patient for the sect master as he may be doing something." Luke spoke to Xiare, with a calm tone on his words.
Well, your uncle is truly sorry huhu…
After a few seconds, I finally wear the coat and added some floating crystals and a floating cape around me. I also wore my crown as I want to last an impression to both of them.
Although I'm wearing my crown, It could be technically said "hovering" above my head. Yes, the crown is also floating. I too am floating.
I look like old man Shi now hahaha!
Slowly, I lift my spell off, causing the entire hall to loosen up the light made by my skill.
As I unveil myself, I use my invisible third eye and began taking a closer look at both of them.
Both of them were amazed with Xiare having an amazed face with her mouth open wide and Luke having his eyes closed while having a simple smile.
Oh come on Luke, you know your uncle is awesome.
And handsome too, don't forget that.
Besides, why are you wearing your knight uniform in the middle of your wedding?! Do you have no shame looking at yourself? Take a look at your future or now wife! Look! She's much more prepared than you!
How foolish!
After finally unveiling myself, I close off my third eye and began looking with them with my two eyes. Luke opens his eyes again and steps forward and said, "Sect master, this is Xiare." Of course, I know that based on your conversations. Just cut to the chase already. Don't be like that old fart Lu!
As Luke said those words, Xiare immediately notice her mouth was open and quickly close it off. See? Even your wife is amazed by my appearance. Truly amazing.
With that being said, I replied back. However, Luke was faster than me, saying, "I have now completed my mission. I need to go back to the outpost. Sorry for troubling the both of you." Luke then bowed at me and at Xiare and slowly left the hall.
Eh?
W-w-w-wait what? Go back at the outpost? What do you mean go back to the outpost? Are you leaving your wife already?
Is marriage really that fast within these days? What the heck?! No one told me about it!
"Wait a minute." I replied back. You can't just leave your wife behind. How could you?
As soon as Luke heard those words, he stops walking and began kneeling at me. Eh? Are you really that dense Luke? Please don't be like your grandfather who's always dense.
"What is it sect master?" Luke asked. There were no signs of anger or malice at his voice. Just pure confusion.
Whaaaat? Are you really dense enough to rival even those densest liquids in the world?
I can't believe this.
"What mission?" I ask in a serious tone. Although there's pressure in it, I can feel Xiare's heart palpitating loudly. For fuck's sake damn it.
However, as soon as I heard Luke's reply, I became confused about what's happening.
"Eh? I thought the mission was to get Xiare here? The contents are clearly written in the scroll?" Luke tilts his head before replying at me. After replying, Luke opens his pouch and pulls the scroll inside his pouch.
As I became more and more confused, Luke suddenly rose up and presented the scroll to me. I then took the scroll up using my "phantom hand" and opened the scroll in front of me.
Indeed it was my scroll. So too is my handwriting. So… why is Luke desperate to get out of here?
"Greetings cultivator Xiare, I, the sect master, Jin Luna of the Moonlight Sword Sect, have some favor to ask of you. Meet me in the hall where the moon shines brightly. A reward will be given if as soon as you complete the favor I ask of you." Luke recited the scroll's contents loudly.
This is the content inside the scroll.
Wait…
Shouldn't be this scroll be at Hyare right now?
I then look at Luke and said, "Shouldn't be this scroll was to be sent to Hyare?"
Instead of being guilty about it, Luke instead tilts his head in confusion.
What?
Why do you so confused?
I should be the one confused here…
"Hyare? But the contents inside the scroll states that Xiare is the receiver of the scroll."
W-w-w-ait. How is your wife now dragged onto this? Wait… This is too confusing for the good ol' me.
As I was so confused by the situation, I blurted out something that they will never forget in their entire lifetime.
"Shouldn't be Xiare your wife?"
"Eh?"
"Eh?"
"Eh?" I too also asked the same question.

Ars Magica
Our vision comes back into focus. Our eyes, while being able to perceive the immediate surroundings, still leave us with our minds uncomprehending towards what is actually occurring. Sure, there are definitive things that we can focus on, like the fact that we're either out upon the open sea or the open ocean, there not being much of a difference with no land in sight, as well as the fact that we appear to be upon a haphazardly constructed metal boat, whose seams are barely able to keep a hold of themselves in the crashing waves. However, that does not let us understand what exactly is causing the waves in the first place. If we were to rewind time, we'd find ourselves upon a calm sea under a peaceful sky with the only difference, being a small whirlpool that would be the precursor towards this uproar around the boat. Lightning flashes in the sky, with no clouds being near, and anyone actually manning the boat has either died towards the cause of the smashing tides in the first place, or are fighting amongst the flashes of lightning, all while trying not to become devoured, demolished, and utterly decimated by the beast roiling in the whirling waves. To better understand exactly what is happening here, there is one singular event that needs to be understood, that needs to be explained, and that is the arrival of a creature named Dave. Stepping back from current events and going towards this creature's first appearance in the world, we begin to hear the sound of water slowly dripping across rocky ground. The cavern is utterly silent except for this one constant, its cause feeding channels downwards, sloping towards cracks in the rubble along the floor from broken stalagmites and stalactites. And there, lying on top of something which had fallen over recently, judging from its cracks, is a person, the creature named Dave. His form is fast asleep, either from the impact or from an intoxication, judging from the smell upon its breath. A bright light suffuses into it for a second, giving life towards the pale skin, before it slowly dies down back to the comfortable black of the cave that it's within. Before this moment in time, Dave did not exist in the physical world. At least, not in the reality that he finds himself born into. We do not know whether or not his existence is simply a cosmic joke, or something that is being played out on purpose. All that we do know, is that one moment, the body was not in the cave, and simply formed in the next. The actual earliest time that we know Dave exists, is the interpolation of the memories of J-209, which we'll begin looking into shortly to gain context towards the coming narrative that is being written and hastily trying to keep itself written. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning: This story has several things which might turn its readers away. The first is that this story has shifting points of perspective. Don't worry about that previous sentence too much though, as the main character will always have a first person perspective associated with them. However, any other character from which we're viewing the story from will either be in third-person, as we are not necessarily in their shoes at the moment, or in first person, given that the narrator is an actual physical presence within the story. For the most part, chapters will be self-contained with their perspectives, so there will not be an abundance of switching perspectives within the same chapter. The most that an average reader would have to worry about is the fact that perspectives can switch between chapters. The second thing is that the main character is a bit on the 'special' side of things. He's not exactly mentally there most of the time, so there will be some times that his personality or his thoughts do not actively align with his actions. The third, and final thing of importance, is the fact that past the first couple of chapters, nothing has been planned in advance. There are arcs and plots that I want to do, want to implement, or have already been set into motion from our main character's introduction to the world, but the method that I use for my story writing and generating leads towards a bit more random chance being enabled. Basically...there's a lot of dice rolling behind the scenes. To not complicate the story further than its regular LitRPG elements, the rolls will not be publicly available. However, there will be knowledge within the author's notes on whether or not there were positive or negative critical rolls that had occurred within the chapter. You have been warned. Updates: Mondays & Fridays (Schedule permitting) Typical Chapter Length: (2,000-3,000)

Reborn Into My Novel
What if you lived in the world of your own creation? As fate would have it, our dear amateur novelist, Ellie, was reborn into the world of her fantasy novel after falling asleep at her computer. Bewildered as she was, the first person that she met was the protagonist of her novel. To add salt to the wound, it was right before the tragedy that decimated his village as per his backstory. Will Ellie save the village (and herself) to risk changing the fundamentals of her novel? Will she instead let the story run its course and leave everyone in the village to their deaths? Disclaimer: This novel is a work in progress and will be updated hopefully at least once a week. Expect minor mistakes (maybe some typos and punctuation errors) since this is the very first draft. The author suffers from perfectionism and impostor syndrome and therefore attempts to use this as sort of a therapy to break away from perfectionism and self doubt. Basically, the author employs a “I don’t care anymore and screw this trash work” mindset just to get stuff rolling and not set any expectations. Basically, basically, the author just wants to write something and not care about planning and quality and all those nice things about writing a GOOD novel since it’s counterproductive. Kthxbye. ps: Thanks for even reading this trash work pps: You’re not trash for reading this trash work btw ppps: Thanks I love y’all so much Shout out!
