Ch-11 First impression on a supreme sect Gate
I have a hard time believing what I was seeing. It was a gigantic no, an enormous water curtain. This waterfall is too huge, Even the large ship we were riding becomes an insignificant size of a toothpick compared with this waterfall.
If I have to describe the main theme of this waterfall it would be awe and amazement at this supernatural spectacle. It was beyond perfection compared to all the glorious things and wonders. How could I ever imagine I was alive to see this amazing scenery.
Our blue dragon Bowsprit was shining brightly and highlighting my view. From this levitating ship's deck, I saw this tall white waterfall mightily standing in front of the ship.
The high-speed current was making me shout something like
'You shall not pass.'
Its size was too extensive that I couldn't find the top or bottom of the waterfall. These white water jets filled my entire vision from left to right stretching through the horizon.
Levitating between two white cloud tornados while gazing at this white water curtain is quite a novel experience. At both the top and bottom of the ship deck, I could see colorful rays of spectrum formed in the water vapor. The sun was shining a few degrees tilted from our heads.
It means we are currently at noon. I looked around and made a headcount on my roommate from the same cabin and the approximate total headcount. It seems none of the recruits died inside the tornado or drowned inside the whirlpool.
I sneakily walked toward Sanlang. That safety rope was quite tough. I need to check whether he is alright. Since it was my fault, I have to take responsibility for whatever happened due to my unnecessary comment.
"The water curtain you are witnessing is the perimeter of the oceanic sect HQ."
"Even human stage immortal wouldn't be safe if he wants to pass the curtain."
I heard a voice coming from the wristband.
"Now, you guys become a labor disciple of the oceanic sect officially."
I saw a middle-aged man adorned with blue dragon shape embroidery on his robe. Levitating above the bow, his long robe was fluttering without any external cause. For an unknown reason, I knew where he was talking. We all glanced there unconsciously.
He was currently facing the water curtain. Giving his broad back view for us to see. He has long and neatly tied wavy black hair. He has a strong figure and a unique air of authority.
"Even if you are not willing, your destiny gives you the chance."
"So, be grateful for your luck."
He turn back and said with a booming voice
"I'm the Head elder of labor disciple, Huang Tao. Believe it or not many of you guys will die and rot in this sect."
"Before I explain the rules and regulations."
"I'll explain your situation first."
"The first thing you need to know is your identity."
Every one of us looked at him with puzzled expressions. It wasn't because he had a dignified look but because of his words.
"The surging vortex you have passed through is called the Attachment Severing Vortex."
"It swallowed your existence from the people who haven't entered this surging vortex."
"Even things that would remind your existence will mysteriously disappear from your family, lover, and acquaintances."
"So, even if you can go back to the mortal world, nobody will remember your existence."
His explanation dropped a bombshell upon us. Many of us started to panic, some sat down in despair. While I felt both sad and relieved at the same time.
I'm sad because my existence will disappear from everyone I love. The moments I passed with them and the time we spent together. They will disappear with two fingers sign.
As for why I felt relief, It was because I still remember those memories and they didn't inflict any harm on my family and acquaintances. They will continue their usual life, without grieving or worrying about my disappearance.
'I should be happy about it …'
' Still...why I couldn't control my tears?'
'When did I become such a crybaby, isn't like they are all dead or anything.'
'I can still meet them in one day.'
I comforted myself and wiped away my welling tears. Elder Huang Tao watched our parade with an unfazed look.
"Silent!"
His powerful voice stopped whatever we were currently doing and looked back at the scary elder.
"I haven't finished talking."
"You can do whatever you want after I finish talking"
He took a step, straight up his body, and puffed up his chest. His eyes are clear and bright. He has an aura radiating with authority and confidence. As expected of an elder, his virtual image and demeanor are top-notch. He might be a leader who is an expert in his field.
"You are standing before one of the Six Supreme Sects of the Zolus world."
"We never do or have things that aren't necessary."
"The Attachment Severing Vortexes aren't a puny twin vortex just to clean your existence from others' memory."
"The erase in memory of your existence is just an additional side effect from severing your mortality fate thread."
"For compensation, your destiny will not be affected or manipulated by others, and the true way of the immortal path is opened."
"On the other hand, if you die before you become immortal, you won't be entering a reincarnation circle or the gate of Hell and Heaven."
"The Karma you have accumulated this far is wiped clean."
He paused to give us time to process the massive information.
If clearing our existence is a bomb then this is a tactical nuke dropped on our head. But strangely enough, I didn't feel anything about this fact. I have nothing to lose anymore. Instead of believing what others said, I will find what is true by myself.
The elder briefly study our expression and continued his speech
"It's the first investment on you from the Supreme Oceanic sect. Giving you mongrels a starting step for immortal cultivation."
"Don't be Fred. You might be scared at first because you used to live inside a boundary in your whole life."
"At the time you are able to see the vastness of this world and how fragile you once were."
"You will feel gratification for this moment and how lucky you are."
"Now you know about some basics of your identity. Let's go on to the basic rules and regulations."
Elder Huang Tao continued to preach a list of sect's rules and regulations. To shorten his speech it would be
'Follow the rules inside the sect or there would be consequences.'
'The currency system inside the sect is spirit stone and merit points. Use spirit stones to buy or exchange between individuals. Use merit points to purchase services inside the sect.'
'There will be an elite labor disciple who will show the ropes and supervise five to six of us. So if someone wants to know more, ask their guide or mentors.'
These are the important things I memorized from his speech.
"That's all for now, the more I talk, the more you will forget."
"Since we are already at the right altitude, I permit you to look around."
"Welcome from new world fledgling." He ended his speech and disappeared like he never existed there.
Unbeknownst to us, this giant ship was flying above the clouds. I didn't wander around like everyone else. I stood near Sanlang and asked him whether he got hurt from the fall. As for what I could see, he's still fit like a cow.
While we walked toward the ship railing, Sanlang talked about his experiences after his fall in a low voice. Zhao Chi also came beside us and joined our group.
"Wow" I exclaimed in awe.
We arrived at Crest (the top of the waterfall). There was no sound of flowing water. I guess the transparent blue barrier was protecting our ears. If not we would be hearing super loud noises from the flowing water current.
Through the combination of splashing water and sunlight, there is a bridge made out of the spectrum between the ship and the waterfall.
I also found there were other ships, appearing next to us with different kinds of ship styles, bowsprit shapes, and bulbous. They also have different colored glowing barriers.
The mast of our ship started to glow in azure color. An azure serpent shape dragon sign shot out from it.
The other ships also created different signs. I gaze in amazement at those Signs.
There is a red lucky fish with long beautiful wing-like fins. It seems elegant, fierce, and prickling to my eyes.
The orange color sign is an octopus-like creature with seven eyes. It looks cool, intellectual, and proud.
I don't know whether the yellow one is a dolphin or a killer whale. It has fifty percent similarity with both creatures. Every time I see a dolphin, it gives me the vibe of friendliness, cohesive and inquisitive creature.
The Green sign is puzzling too. I couldn't distinguish whether it was a capybara or a pig. The pig in this world is furry and much like a capybara. They look cute but are both docile and aggressive at the same time.
The azure one is on our ship. Domineering, mighty, and intimidating creature from the myth.
Where the indigo color sign is unsurprisingly a Xiang Liu (9-headed serpent the hydra). Snakes are dangerous creatures but this hydra also gives an additional feeling.
Last but not least the violet color sign is a turtle with six legs. The amazing thing about the last creature is 'it has two frontal lags that are pincers like a crab'. It looks strong, steady, and powerful.
I was wondering 'Are these signs going to fuse like a power rangers movie.'
When the realization struck me, these signs really shoot out a laser beam. I hold up my fist and bite it. I have my watch. Here is a million dollars question ' are we going to transform?'
Wait, wait, wait, wait...
All the signs of seven ships and sect identification started to shine brightly.
Wait, wait, wait, wait. I don't want to be...
