Guang Fu and Lernean walked down the streets of the Heaven sect side by side. At first, people would be wary when seeing Lernean, but when they saw Guang Fu, they sighed in relief and went back to what they were doing.
As they walked around, Lernean could not help but look around in wonder, despite his age. It was his first time ever seeing such grand and elegant things.
"I assume you've spent most of your life hidden underground or something. Welcome to a much better world." Guang Fu said as they walked.
Soon, Guang Fu and Lernean reached a large palace. Hanging above the entrance was a sign that said, "Doctor Ket's".
Guang Fu walked in, followed by Lernean. The first floor of the large palace was set up like a shop. In little containers were healing pills and potions, as well as other types of medicines and pills.
Guang Fu directly ignored them as he found a staircase guarded by two guards and walked up it. The guards did not stop him, but they warrily eyed the following Lernean.
Luckily, both the second floor and the first floor had high ceilings with wide walls.
The second floor, unlike the first, contained only a few hallways and a few doors leading to rooms. Normally, few people were allowed to come up, but Guang Fu was known due to his fight with Yao Mun.
After a few turns, Guang Fu knocked on a door. Next to the door was a plate that said, "Doctor Ket's".
"Come in." A voice said.
Guang Fu opened the door and entered, but Lernean was too big. His nine heads floated down and peered into the room.
"Guang Fu! Good to see you. Did you need something or did you just drop by to say hello?" He asked with a smile.
"Hi Doctor Ket. I've come to heal my friend here." Guang Fu responded.
Doctor Ket took a look at Lernean who was peeking from the doors as his eyes showed a green light temporarily.
"Well he doesn't seem that injured. Appears to heal fast." Doctor Ket mumbled as he pointed two fingers at Lernean and a green beam of light shot out.
"There you go. Don't worry about paying, it's on the house." Doctor Ket said with a smile.
"Thanks Doctor." Guang Fu said as he turned around and exited the door.
He and Guang Fu soon exited the palace.
"Who was he? I didn't think of it much when it happened, but that green light was too fast for me to react to." Lernean asked when they exited the building.
"That was Doctor Ket, one of the eldest Heavenborns, as well as the greatest Healer we have. According to rumor, he had practiced medicine and healing so much and so intensely that he suddenly gained an unknown ability. It allows him to see the entire body of any person with a glance. Along with that, his healing ability went up ten fold." Guang Fu explained.
"He is also at the 6th level of the void traversing realm." Guang Fu added.
"Wow." Lernean said. "Someone at the 6th level of the void traversing realm would be very powerful in our supreme beast race. But here, he is just a doctor."
"Yeah. Peace can help a lot. But soon, we are going into war. Unlike the supreme beasts from your world, we will fight back, and we will grow even faster than now. No offense." Guang Fu said.
"None taken." Lernean said as they continued to walk around.
"You will probably need to leave soon." Guang Fu said. "Before you go, here."
Guang Fu handed Lernean an envelope. One of Lerneans' heads bit it and held it.
"That is an invitation to a ceremony taking place in two months. If you can, you should attend." Guang Fu said.
"I will try." Lernean responded.
As they reached the gate, Guang Fu waved Lernean off.
He then headed off to his house. Until the ceremony two months later, he would mostly be left alone.
Guang Fu's residence was close to the castle. It had a main house and a large yard. Both were surrounded by walls twenty feet tall.
Over the next 2 months, Guang Fu cultivated for 18 hours, then practiced techniques for 6 hours without a single break in between. As he practiced, his eyes showed determination that they never had before.
After 2 months, a familiar face appeared in the yard Guang Fu was practicing in.
"It is time." Tian Ren's wife said.
"Let's go." Guang Fu said without wasting any time.
After a short walk, they made it to a large park. Usually, the park was left alone as an eyepiece, but today there was a stage and tens of thousands of seats.
While the park was very large, taking up a noticeable portion on the map, it was nowhere near big enough to host the entire Heaven sect.
Therefore, due to the special occasion, the no flying rule was temporarily lifted. Ten thousand people sat in seats covering the flat park, while the rest were flying in the skies.
In the seats closer to the stage, one could see important people such as Doctor Ket and many space shattering cultivators. The viewers got more and more unrecognizable as you looked back.
With a quick glance, Guang Fu estimated that the entire Heaven sect was in attendance, as well as some other Heavenborns not technically part of the sect, although all Heavenborns were considered disciples in some ways.
Soon, Guang Fu and Tian Ren's wife got on the stage. Besides a single altar, on which a carved eyeball was held, they were the only things on the stage.
Seeing them get on, the entire crowd quieted down. Even the wind stopped moving.
"Ever since Tian Ren's death, I have been given the title of the ruler of Heavenborns, as well as the sect master of the Heaven sect." Tian Ren's wife began.
"But I am unworthy to sit where he sat. Although many would say otherwise, we all know it deep down. So today, we have gathered in hopes of declaring someone worthy of the title. I believe that this man, Guang Fu, is the only one who could possibly be considered."
