Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao-Chapter 60 Breakthrough: Gold Core Realm |[End Of Volume I]|

*****************??*****************

======== Arthur's POV ===========

After Thomas the inner disciple left, I entered the courtyard assigned to me. Which was small compared to what I was used to, but it was okay for now.

And speaking of Thomas, something about him feels familiar to me but I can not tell what is.

'I guess I'll find later then,'

After entering the house and surveying it, I found it to be somewhat acceptable. There was a living room, one bedroom, a bathroom, and a kitchen.

I walked into the bedroom and sat down to think about what had happened today.

It had been a long day and I would be lying if I said I was not feeling tired.

'But the day was a fruitful one too.'

I now have a clear idea of what I should be doing now.

'First I need to break through and ascend to the next realm of power. With my current reputation in the sect and my 'name' I might attract some trouble.'

'And if what I know from the novels I read in the past are true, then I am very sure that there would be trouble. In fact, maybe some young master out there is already planning and coming up with schemes to get to me.'

I had no idea that my speculation was spot on.

'In short, I need to be constantly raising my strength. Who knows, I can just wake up one day and find out that cultivators from the upper realm are here to make us lower realm people their slaves.'

'Or maybe I will take a little stroll one day only to come back and find out that those I cared about were taken away from me.'

'And worst of all, I have like literally the strongest entity in the world after my ass, a.k.a the Eye of the Grand Dao.'

I remind myself of the challenges ahead so I will not get caught up with how everything Is working smoothly for me.

I knew too well that anything can go wrong in a world like this and I can not afford to be complacent with little success.

After that, I opened the student handbook and read through it to understand more about the sect.

Reading through, I found out about the different ranks of disciples and the requirements to be promoted.

Right now I was at the bottom of the sect as the lowest ranked outer disciple.

'But that won't be so for long.'

I also learned from the student handbook that there is a ranking system within the sect.

There are the outer-court rankings for outer disciples, the inner-court rankings for inner disciples, the core disciple rankings for core disciples, and finally the Elite Disciples Ranking for the elite disciples.

And above all these disciples are the Prime Disciple Candidates who were the most influential disciples in the sect.

The Prime Disciple Candidates were disciples that the sect was nurturing the most and was competing to become the Prime Disciple who is the official disciple to take up the position of Sect Leader in the future.

Currently, there were ten prime disciple candidates and as for the requirements to become one, it was not stated in the handbook.

The next thing I paid attention to was the Martial Arts Library. This was where the battle arts of the sect were stored.

To learn any martial art, a disciple will have to pay for a corresponding number of contribution points.

But every new disciple is given free 10 points which are only enough for the lowest grade of martial arts.

After reading through the student handbook, I opened the other book about the sect's rules and regulations.

When I was done reading them, I kept them aside and closed my eyes.

I have the ability to remember every single thing I read after seeing them once. That was what allowed me to finish all books in the Royal Library except the martial arts techniques.

I wanted to rest after the long day, it was already evening and I felt like sleeping.

'But I can not rest now...'

I remembered a quote I heard once back on earth that says;

"When it seems as though things are moving in the right direction and your success is building up and all your hard work is bearing fruit, that is when you work harder than ever!" e together slowly.

Time passed and the ten drops fused to become one big drop of essence energy. I didn't stop there and continued to compress them.

After an unknown amount of time, I finally condensed the first core which was gold in some places and red in some, from what I sensed with my spirit Power.

When I opened my eyes it was approaching morning. And although I feel energized, I am a person who likes sleep so I decided to get some of it.

Just as I lay down on the bed and closed my eyes, I sensed a presence in my room jolting me up.

"Who?!"

"Calm down young master, it's me."

"Old Man Whitebeard? How did you?... You know what, never mind."

Turns out Old Man Whitebeard came to visit. It was only because he revealed his presence that I was able to sense him.

"Young Master Arthur, my name is Alfred Stone if you must know."

"Oh, I'm sorry about that way of addressing you, I had gotten used to it," I felt embarrassed as I never called him Old Man Whitebeard to his face before.

"It's fine," Alfred wasn't mad at him as he had known about it all along.

"I see you have advanced in your cultivation Young Master, congratulations."

"Thank you, but what brings you here?"

"There is news from the Emperor concerning the Grand Martial Arts Tournament," Alfred's expression became serious.

"What happened?" ｆ𝘳e𝒆w𝗲𝐛𝘯𝐨νe𝚕.cｏ𝓶

"The Martial Emperor Secret Realm will be opening earlier than predicted and because of that, the date for the Grand Martial Arts Tournament has been brought forward."

I knew it, I was right about not resting. Just as I predicted, something I did not expect happened.

I took a breath and asked Whitebear- I mean Alfred, "How much time do I have?"

"It is..."
