Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao

================================

"35 meters per second..."

"This means I am faster than most Peak Gold Core Realm cultivators, and I am still only at the first stage of the Gold Core Realm."

The Wind Ride technique uses wind intent to enhance the practitioner's base speed, so Arthur can only imagine what it would be like when he reaches the peak of the Gold Core Realm.

"Also, I haven't even used my speed intent yet..."

This was another trump card of Arthur, Speed Intent.

It was a very incredible thing to master intent at his current cultivation level.

Cultivators attempt to learn intent when they reach the Gold Core Realm as at this level their perception can sense some of the world's essence.

The keyword here is 'attempt', this means that not all succeed.

And even those that do, it will take a long time to master up to the tenth rank, which they normally learn when they are in the Martial Origin Realm.

But Arthur reached that level of comprehension before he even broke through to the Gold Core Realm. So his speed is understandable.

Moreover, the cultivation technique, Nine Heavens Universal Scripture makes him much stronger than those of the same realm.

"Well, it calls my current realm the Invincible Gold Core Realm for a reason."

Arthur decided to practice more with the technique so that he can use it freely in battle and see how he could fuse it with his battle style.

Two Months Later...

Time passed and Arthur learned the other techniques and reached mastery rank for all of them and he did so in only two months.

However, he used two-thirds of that time to increase his cultivation to the Third Rank of the Gold Core Realm.

Arthur was able to master them quickly because when he studies them, nothing is unclear to him.

Within the cave, Arthur sat in a meditative position.

His Devouring Martial Spirit was released and was rapidly refining a large number of elemental crystals all around him.

At the same time, the martial spirit absorbed from the surrounding essence energy too. With its target being two essence energies.

Arthur only had element crystals for eight elements which were, fire, water, earth, wood, wind, lightning, light, and dark elements.

There were two other intents left...

'Life Essence Energy, and Death Essence Energy...'

If anyone were to find out that Arthur had comprehended these two great intents they would probably be unable to handle it.

As to why let's just say those two intents are kind of special...

As Arthur absorbed them, his cores grew bigger and soon he reached the next level...

"Fourth Rank Gold Core Realm...This should be enough," Arthur muttered.

Arthur was making preparations for an upcoming event of the sect.

"The Seasonal Outer Court Ranking Battle."

Every three months, there would be a ranking battle among the Outer Court Disciples.

This allows the disciples who are ranked lower to increase their rank in the outer court rankings as long as they have sufficient strength.

If you rank amongst the top ten, you will be given the best cultivation abode in the outer sect. At the same time, the top ten outer court disciples are the only ones that receive free cultivation resources every month.

They are also rewarded with a good amount of contribution points which would take them a year to get on their own.

But new disciples are exempted from taking part in the ranking battles until after a year has passed.

Although if a new disciple is strong enough then he or she can participate.

During every recruitment, almost all of the new disciples are at the Spirit Condensation Realm.

With one or two at the Gold Core Realm. But even they would wait till after a year before participating in the ranking battle.

"It is a good time to increase my influence in the sect..."

Arthur had thought about a lot of things since his joining the Heavenly Sword Sect.

His Fate Sense will give hints on what can benefit him, but how much he takes from that or how he approaches the matter is up to him.

His Fate Sense gave him a hint of a powerful treasure in the Heavenly Sword Sect, but that does not mean he will only take that and go.

'I could do something more...'

Arthur had already discussed this with Old Man Whitebeard, and he had learned that if he was able to become the Prime Disciple of the sect, then even if his identity as the Prince was revealed there would be no problem whatsoever.

Arthur asked him to explain more clearly but he said that he is not allowed to speak about some matters freely unless with the direct permission of the Emperor.

So he could only give hints that Arthur can be ambitious and he will face no problem.

'Whatever it is, I will find out anyway.'

It would be a great thing if he became the prime disciple of the sect as the sect will serve him as its future leader.

'Also, when I win the Grand Martial Arts Tournament and become the Crown Prince, the Royal Academy will also be under my jurisdiction...'

``````````

Arthur left his place of training and returned to the Outer Sect.

After entering his little house, someone came knocking.

"Luke, come on in."

"Thank you...Invincible," Luke smiled and walked in.

Although his tone was a bit awkward when he said 'Invincible', which made Arthur chuckle.

"So how's the assignment I gave you going?" Arthur asked after they sat down in his living room.

"I have met with almost every new disciple but most of them were hesitant."

"Why?"

"Well, it turns out that they have already been invited by the older disciples and some of them were even threatened."

"Because of that, they are doubtful of whether you will be able to stand up to the older and stronger disciples at your current level."

Luke had a serious expression on his face as he gave his report.

There were geniuses here who could also cross realms to do battle, and although Arthur had 'potential' in the eyes of the sect, his cultivation was still low.

"Hmm, it happened just as I predicted. So, did you tell them what I asked?"
