Chereads / A Shadow's Reincarnation / Chapter 35 - Compensation

Chapter 35 - Compensation

When Elder Lv saw Blake performing those hand seals like his life depended on it, he quickly understood his saint's intention and dejectedly sigh. 'This misunderstanding...is a bit too big, isn't it?'

With a flick of his hand, he released Blake from the Void constraints before flicking his saint's head with a bitter face.

"Ouch!" Having been suddenly flicked and thus lost his concentration, his series of hand seals immediately disappeared as he stood there in a daze.

"Young Saint, can you please calm down and listen to me." Elder Lv bitterly asked again while he lamented in his heart. 'Haiz...Who knew dealing with a child was so annoying?? Oh Great Ancestor, this descendant isn't ready for this massive responsibility yet!'

10 minutes later...

Seeing that his saint has finally calmed down, Elder Lv took a deep breath before continuing on.

"Okay...I'm going to start from the very top, alright?" Elder Lv made sure to say every word slowly and clearly because he was afraid that his saint might think that he was about to harm him in any shape, way or form.

Blake, who was still in a daze nodded.

"My name is Feng Xian but you can call me Elder Lv. I am a nameless elder of a nameless sect located in a nameless mountain ridge of a nameless realm." Speaking up to here, Elder Lv paused for a moment to let his saint digest this bit of information.

3 breaths hadn't passed when Blake was already trying to see through this almighty before him. What nameless elder of a nameless sect located in a nameless mountain ridge of a nameless realm? Blake straight up didn't believe any of this nonsense. Heck, even a fool wouldn't have believed this almighty was some nameless person of a nameless sect located in a nameless mountain ridge of a nameless realm either!

If it weren't for his teacher's black token, Blake was certain he'd be annihilated by that space warping heaven shattering attack of this almighty. Blake had deployed the strongest magic barriers he could cast at that time while still maintaining Battle God Aura and Flower Maiden's Grace but it was all for naught. That beam of rainbow energy completely disregarded his defenses as if it was cutting through tofu before finally being stopped by the purple energy barrier deployed by the black token.

Thinking back on how he had nearly lost his life to the person in front of him, Blake felt incredibly uncomfortable that he had to swallow this anger since the person in front of him was millions of times stronger than him.

On the other hand, Elder Lv immediately knew what his saint was thinking when he had merely glanced at his saint.

From one simple glance, Elder Lv could tell what kind of person his saint was and what kind of life had his saint lived before to get to this stage. From one simple glance, Elder Lv could tell that his saint was a tyrannical figure that conquered his realm through force and fear all the way till his death. With one simple glance, Elder Lv knew that his saint, even after reincarnation, was never forced to swallow a loss since it was him who had always done the killing.

In order for the boy before him to properly portray the position of the Saint of Chaos, Elder Lv decided that his sect will use up all of its resources to nurture and develop this boy into an outstanding genius worthy of his ancestral title!

Following that, Elder Lv proceeded to explain a prophecy regarding him being the nameless sect's hero as well as also being the nameless realm's destroyer. After letting Blake process all of that information, Elder Lv then told him that he will receive the sect's full support when he reaches God realm later and will be the brightest star of the entire Multiverse ten thousand years after that.

After what felt like an eternity, Elder Lv finally stopped talking and Blake felt his three world views flip upside down. During that long endless talk about his elder's plan to make him a great genius, Elder Lv had mentioned 'Heaven' once before switching back to 'nameless realm' in his explanations.

Having read a ton of books back when he was still living in Tokyo back in that outer realm, Blake immediately scoured through his memories until he remembered a book that mentioned there being a Heaven that Gods and Goddesses resided in since the formation of the Multiverse.

Although Blake was certain that there was an Underworld for at the lowest layer of the Multiverse, Blake never thought about there being a Heaven since the gods and goddesses he met before were cultivators that had grasped the concept of the Heavenly Dao.

Piecing together Heaven's existence along with the unfathomable pure rainbow energy being emitted by Elder Lv, Blake concluded that Elder Lv was a native of the legendary Heaven and his nameless sect was definitely grand and strong enough to even blot out the 9 Central Realms.

Sucking in a cold breath, his eyes began to sparkle as he tried to guess his teacher's origin. If Elder Lv this almighty was only an elder of the sect in Heaven, then how powerful would his teacher have to have been to create such a sect? But after thinking for a while more, Blake shook his head in dismay as he knew he'd find out sooner or later when the time was right.

Elder Lv who had been carefully observing his saint's expression at this moment couldn't help but raise his brows. Looking at the wowed expression of his saint, he knew that his saint had already figured out his origin and had started to wonder about his teacher's origin.

"You'll know when you get stronger."

"Hm?"

"Your teacher's origin. I will tell you when the time is right." Using his Heavenly Sense to determine the time from the flowing time elements, Elder Lv continued. "It's already late, kid. Hurry home now. I'll be going too."

But before Elder Lv could fly off, Blake suddenly screamed at him. "Hey! What about my compensation?!"

"What compensation?" A sense of foreboding suddenly welled up within Elder Lv as he suddenly remembered something.

"My compensation for nearly killing me! You can't just fly away scott free without giving me some compensation, that's blatant robbery if I've ever seen one!"

"But kid, you're merely a Magic Emperor…Even if I give you some of my artifacts, you won't be able to use any of them since they require one to be God realm at least. Same goes for the elixirs and manuals on me."

"Please repeat your words! I'm a Magic Emperor with Magic Saint aptitude! I was a dual Martial angel & Magic Saint that reigned at the top of my world for a whole generation! Even if I can't use any artifacts or elixirs, manuals should still be fine right? Also, since I'm now the saint of your nameless sect, shouldn't you be giving me some gifts as the first step to becoming a heaven defying genius?"

"This…I alone cannot decide for my sect…"

"There's no need to think about it anymore! Just give me the secret art tailored made for the saint and I'll forget about your little mishap of almost costing me my life! Deal?"

"This..." Elder Lv was still hesitant about taking this deal since it'll be a loss to his sect if the saint were to die early and the sect's secret arts fell into enemy hands.

"It's fine if you don't want to give me too. Besides your nameless sect's secret art, I want the 7 Heavenly Blades of Chaos instead!" When Elder Lv thought that Blake was taking a step back from wanting his sect's secret art, Blake came up with an even bolder request for the sect's founding artifact!
