《The Calm Death God》Chapter 16: Life-Changing.

Starlight Pagoda Sect, across the entire Green Cloud Continent. Five mighty sects ruled, one of them was the Starlight Pagoda Sect which possessed at least a thousand years of heritage, obviously. Such huge sect contained massive resources for their disciples to enjoy, and the competitive spirit of the youths were also increased.

The Starlight Pagoda Sect wasn't located inside the Whalls Kingdom. The entire sect was located in the Starlight Mountain Range. The whole mountain was the property of the sect and trespassing without a disciple's badge or certificate of entrance meant death.

The entire mountain range covered at least fifty hectares of land. Divided evenly between the Outer Disciples, Inner Disciples, Conclave Disciples, Main Disciples, and the Starlight Pagoda Sect Headquarters. The location of the sect gave a first impression of not so special. But once one entered the mountain range. They would feel the huge imposing pressure of the mountain, and the qualitative increase of the Qi between heaven and earth.

A/N: Note, Body Strengthening Stage lies behind the Qi Profound Realm, practitioners in this stage is practically not a true practitioner until they break to the Qi Profound Realm.

'Qi Profound Realm'. 'Spirit Profound Realm'. 'Foundation Profound Realm.' 'Soul Profound Realm.' 'Sage Profound Realm.' 'Emperor Profound Realm.' 'Great Emperor Profound Realm'. 'Saint Profound Realm'. And lastly, 'Divine Profound Realm'.

External cultivation stages were divided as follows 'Houtian Realm'. 'Xiantian Realm'. 'Wugongdao Realm'. And lastly, 'Yiguandao Realm'.

John floated silently in the air carried around by the fire tornado with the middle aged man beside him. John broke the awkward silence as he spoke. "May I know master's name?"

The scar-faced middle aged man gave a small chuckle and spoke. "My name is Klein. In this sect, I am referred to as the Hell Fire Klein! About that, you will know the history about my nickname soon." Klein gave a small cold smile.

A sense of dread crept in John's heart. ' I have a bad feeling about this...'

Before he could speak further, they started to descend down in the air. A screeching noise pierced John's ears as the air around him distorted, his travelling speed towards the ground skyrocketed, clearly increased by some external force. As for Klein, he floated in the air like an autumn leaf while giving a small warm smile towards John before speaking.

"As my disciple, this shall be the first test for you! Descend from this height to ground without enduring any injuries! Buh-bye!" Klein gave a school girl peace sign before floating sideways to the ground.

"Are you damn kidding me now?! " John miserably shrieked as the ground before him slowly enlarged. John formed signaled with his hand causing it to shine with a scarlet glow. However, he immediately retracted it fearing that his fire element facade might be blown.

The sound of the screeching air gradually increased the ground below became nearer. It was at that moment at a miserable shriek came from the Starlight Pagoda Sect mountain range.

"Save me!!!"

...

The serene atmosphere of the mountain range became filled with a moaning cry. Somewhere on the enormous mountain range, there lies a youth covered in bruises, beside him was a human imprint of his likeness, clearly. His fall on the ground struck him harder than what he had expected.

"Ugh... I never thought that the first master that I would have is such a monster! No- That's clearly not a monster, More like a damn demon!" John cried, he felt extremely wronged.

"What did you say, Kid?" Like a ghost, a figure with a crimson red robe appeared behind him. Making the youth jump in fright.

"Ugh... No-nothing... I didn't say anything!" John hurriedly replied.

"Hmm... Here, take this and throw that dirty rags that you're wearing right now!" Klein coldly snorted, as he threw a crimson red robe towards John. John could only sigh, retrieved the robe and started to undress himself.

The robe didn't contain any striking features aside from the huge pagoda symbol on its left chest. Below the huge pagoda was an imposing calligraphy which read. 'Starlight Pagoda Sect' the robe was crimson red all over and the only part which wasn't covered by the crimson red color was its wrists which was golden in color.

Still, the robe gave off an imposing atmosphere and was quite comfortable to wear.

"You look quite cute with that..." Klein gave a smile that stretched up to his ear.

"Cute, you say?" John snorted before he continued. "Anyways where the hell are we?" John turned to look towards the area, as far as the eye can see were vast amounts of grasses, there was nothing special about the surrounding, however. On the center of this mountain range was a huge pagoda that seemed to pierce the skies.

Is that the Starlight Pagoda Sect Headquarters? John thought.

"Yeah, you're right. I know what you're thinking, but before we dive deeper to that I must make it clear that from now on, you're a disciple of the Starlight Pagoda Sect!" Klein harrumph he stood proudly with his chest stuck out. He even pounded his chest as a tear leaked out from his eye.

"Ugh..." John could only mutter in response to his now master's weirdness.

...

After that small ordeal. The two continued their journey towards the place that only Klein knew, for now. The two walked in this manner for about three hours before seeing a small scale walled village. A plaque hung near the gates that looked imposing as ever which said. 'Outer Disciples Village'.

'Eh? Outer Disciple? I thought I would at least become a Conclave Disciple.'

"Nope, You will start as an Outer Disciple, youngsters like you who are very talented tend to be extremely arrogant. I don't want that to happen to you, and so. I want you to experience the harshness of competition." John stared at Klein in shock who was giving his heartfelt sentiment.

'This guy... Predicted my thoughts?" John thought.

"Well you can say that..." Klein muttered once again which made John stare at him in utmost surprise.

"You can read my mind?" John asked, his tone slow and serious.

"Hahaha, I guess so? Well don't worry about it, you will know how to do this in the future anyways." Klein waved his hand in dismissal.

"Hey, isn't that the [Hell Fire Klein]? Who is that guy beside him?"

"Hell Fire Klein? Ah, that Demon? That demon is here?!"

"Shh... If Klein heard you, then you will regret being born in this world."

"Anyways who is that guy beside him? Wait... Is that the guy who achieved a Third Grade Fire Element Affinity back at the new disciple's entrance examination?! I heard that he will receive the highest development priority granted by the sect! Why is he here?"

The two could hear resounding whispers around the area, the two didn't mind them and calmly entered the Outer Disciple's Village. Just as they entered the city, what welcomed them were innumerable disciples scurrying around the area, some placed stalls near the sidewalks while shouting out the prices of their merchandises.

John looked around and noticed that each and everyone of them had the Starlight Pagoda Sect insignia. To think that a sect would have a marketplace like the outside world! John was astounded.

"Hey, don't stare there at shock. Let's hurry." Klein patted him on the shoulders before proceeding.

'Hmm... This old man, he's quite popular, not in the good way though.' John thought when he sensed the gazes of the disciples around him which immediately gave way.

"Sorry about that!" Klein uttered once again which almost made John vomit blood on the spot.

John learned from Klein that the whole Outer Disciple's Village was divided into five sections. The Marketplace, the Martial Court, and three disciple quarters area. Klein gave John a small medallion which had the insignia of the Starlight Pagoda Sect engraved and the number three signifying that he was assigned in the Disciple Quarters number three.

The old man didn't continue to bother about John anymore after giving him a library pass and a crimson red book which didn't have any titles. John didn't mind the scouring gazes of the crowd before entering a decently sized two story house. John entered the dimly illuminated room and he could hear pitter patter rain like sounds which resonated behind a door.

John had a small revelation... Could it be...?

Before he could move. A creaking sound came out before him before a feminine figure came out. John stared at her with shock. Obviously, the woman thought that she was the only person in the room and so, she let her guard down. She didn't expect that John would suddenly intrude and so. She didn't cover her body with any cloth. She came out from the bathroom stark naked!

"Ah..."

"Ah..."
