n?Ken Kei himself felt that his two charges were being a bit impolite but did not dare to chastise them for the weight of their identities. However, he manifested his dissatisfaction by walking briskly forward, trying to force Dante and Beatrice into his pace, but to his annoyance, they didn’t speed up at all.

nSo rather, he now looked like the fool for rushing ahead of his quarry, something that Beatrice was cruel enough to point out.

n“Ken Kei, right? You have to be more observant of your surroundings when given the task to escort others. You don’t want to bring shame to the Pure Heaven Sect, now do you?” Beatrice spoke loudly with narrowed eyes.

nKen Kei’s face paled slightly and became extremely terrible. It was just a small trick he played that wouldn’t have hurt anyone, why did this woman have to be so vicious? She could have said these words anywhere and it wouldn’t matter, but not within the ancestral hall where the Sect Master and the Ancient Elders stayed!

nIn the end, he could only obediently lead forward and not dare to have any killing intent or hatred in his heart, not because he feared Dante or Beatrice, but because the powerful presences who stayed here would be able to detect it.

nSoon the duo was brought to a room that was large and grand, easily big enough to fit a family of western dragons comfortably. The majority of its space was occupied by statues with plaques, detailing the accomplishments of all sect masters before the current one.

nPassing through the golden carpeted main walkway, one would then come to a central audience chamber where a throne on a raised dais existed to the front, and to the right and left were labeled seats meant for what should be sect elders.

nThe audience chamber was naturally in use since the sect master has to hear issues concerning the sect and its territories day in and day out. It was not the kind of situation where one could carelessly say ‘if they were fated, they wouldn’t have collapsed’ because this involved the sect’s interests.

nDespite being number 1 in the world, they faced severe competition from all sides, not to mention various hostilities with evil and demonic factions. If they dared to be lazy and playful for a second, the entire sect would disappear into the annals of time. .

nThe current person who was having his matter heard was suddenly patted on the shoulder by a deacon of security and told to move to the side. Even though the person was confused, they complied immediately.

nKen Kei then led Dante and Beatrice up, through the line and cutting through everyone regardless of status or position. This caused many faces to be filled with curiosity and wonderment, not knowing why these two could break the rules so blatantly and not incur punishment.

nDante and Beatrice stood on the dais with confident smiles, the aura they radiated making everyone feel intense pressure. Their faces changed greatly as many had to rush out of the audience chamber in order to feel normal again.

nEven the main person on the seat, the sect master, was casually glancing at them one second and his pupils greatly constricted the next as he felt their auras. He couldn’t believe that he, the current number 1 in the world who had suppressed his peers who stood at the top with him, would feel a sense of fatal danger from two different people at once.

nWhat almost drove him crazy was the fact that he could tell that the duo did not have any cultivation, and in fact, had never cultivated before in their lives! So, how could they have power enough to threaten him who stood at the peak of the world?!

nThe Sect Master glanced at the elders who sat on either side of him and was chilled to find out that they wore similar and even worse expressions than him in the face of this aura, meaning that it wasn’t his own misconception.

nThis caused him to be more tactful in his words addressing the duo, but nowhere near subservient or weak.

n“Greetings from afar. I heard from the Gate Guarding Disciple that you two are from the Ancient Immortal Family, the Alighieri clan?”

n“Huh?” The entire room of spectators gasped with shock. They never dreamed that Dante and Beatrice would actually be from an immortal family and the unhappiness and disdain in their hearts evaporated quickly as they accepted the events that just occurred.

n“That’s right, esteemed Sect Master. My name is Dante Alighieri and this is my wife, Beatrice Alighieri. We have come down to experience the world and hope to study the path of cultivation in the hands of the number one sect in the world.” Dante responded after cupping his fists in salute.

nEven though he didn’t bow to the sect master as most should, none on the dais were miffed and even those watching did not feel it was wrong.

n“It would be our pleasure to host such esteemed persons in our sect. Would you like to be given the position of Guest Elders?” The Sect Master’s eyes lit up as he asked gently.

nWhat the heck, these two powerhouses were coming to join their sect? For free? Was it Christmas day already or what?

nEven the elders were stunned and then burst into smiles. The sect, despite seeming arrogant and strong, was teetering on the edge of oblivion each day as their enemies got stronger even as they themselves got stronger.

nWith the prospective combat power of these two, their fate would be stabilized significantly if they could even cause those at the top to feel threatened. Not to mention they were now beginning their journey of cultivation, so who knew how strong they could become in the end?

n“Guest elders sound fine. We don’t plan to leech and not return the favor, so you can call on us when the sect needs it and we’ll be there.” Dante promised with a smile.

nIn fact, Dante couldn’t have said a more perfect set of words to the sect master and the elders currently. They wore expressions of extreme satisfaction and immediately entered a good mood.

n“Elder Ling shall handle your registration and affairs.” The sect master stated as he glanced at an aged elder who had his white hair tied in a topknot.

nElder Ling looked pleased to be given the task and stood up, flying toward Dante and Beatrice with a beaming smile on his face. He didn’t even spare a glance for Ken Kei or the other various cultivators who came to seek an audience here.

n“Please follow me.” He gestured to the two, who nodded and turned to leave the Ancestral Hall with Elder Ling.

nThe Sect Master and the other elders watched them leave with smiles until they disappeared. After that, their faces became casual once more and their auras pressed down on the venue, the Security Deacon waving the fellow who had been interrupted previously forward.

n“State your business quickly.”

nAn Elder prompted with a clear expression of irritation on his face.

nThe supplicant was left speechless at the stark difference in treatment from before and now. It really seemed that in life, if one did not have the right background and power, their treatment would be entirely different.

nAs for Dante and Beatrice, Elder Ling took them to the administrative hall where they were expeditiously registered and given platinum-colored tokens representing their status as Guest Elders.

nThey were also given exotic robes with plenty of magical functions on them, but Dante and Beatrice refused. Their current attires were their favorites and they had no intentions of switching out.

nElder Ling looked like he wanted to say something but kept quiet in the end. After this, the duo were taken to the Scripture Library where plenty of techniques were made available to them.

nNaturally, Dante and Beatrice took advantage of this chance to learn the staple technique of the sect, which was called the Pure Heaven Scripture. Since they were starting out, they were given the Mortal and Earth chapters, which covered from Qi Condensation to Ascension. 𝑖𝘦.𝑐𝘰𝘮

nThey would receive the heaven chapter once they either reached the requisite level or made sufficient contributions to the sect. Speaking of that, their tokens recorded their contribution points, the famous internal currency of these sectarian governments.

nAfter that segment, the duo were taken to their residence which was situated on a mountain peak with its own spirit vein near the central one. The courtyard they were given was expansive and filled with elegance, something that could only come out of a scenic painting.

n“Is everything to your liking, Elder Dante and Elder Beatrice?” Elder Ling asked with a smile.

n“More than fine, we are thankful for the kind treatment of the Pure Heaven Sect.” Dante nodded and cupped his fists respectfully.

n“Haha, don’t worry about it. Your resources will be sent over by servant disciples who will take care of your needs for various matters. Is this okay?” Elder Ling laughed as he informed them.

n“Huh? How generous of the sect, we will certainly receive what we are given with gratitude.” Dante asserted once again.

nElder Ling cupped his fists and nodded. “Then let me not take up your time anymore. If you need me or anyone else, please send your assigned servant disciple to seek me out.”

nDante and Beatrice watched the fellow leave before entering their courtyard and beginning to settle down. Now with the various distractions and processes handled, it was time to cultivate.
