Elder Praxx strode past John and descended deep into a chamber below his mansion, in which a massive training room was located. Like this, John trained with Elder Praxx for the next week regarding many things, such as honing battle instincts, assassination arts, and much much more.
John's days were spent training with Elder Praxx, while his nights were spent cultivating and preparing to break through to the next realm, as well as exploring the sect when he could. For some reason, John felt his nerves become more and more taught, and so he became much more careful when looking around the sect for any and all clues.
Eventually, he realized that Elder Praxx was his best source of information, and that any further exploration was mostly useless. Slowly but surely, Elder Praxx was revealing more and more information to John.
