After hearing this information from Chase, John's mind drifted back towards his mission.
'My biggest hurdle for sneaking through the sect was my cultivation, which clearly identifies me as a disciple. However, if I could get my hands on one of those artifacts, I would be able to assume the status of an Elder. I can only do so about twice before the burden on my soul from the mask becomes too great, but that should be more than enough.'
He had thought about all sorts of ideas regarding the mysterious area he found, as well as how to get inside unnoticed. However, none of his ideas had a good chance of working out, and would only serve in his capture and the ending of his mission prematurely.
'If I assume the status of an Elder who uses a cultivation shrouding artifact, I have a good chance of getting into that chamber without anyone finding out. I guess the next thing to do is visit this artifact hall.'
