Seth opened his eyes and he could feel the strength flowing through his veins. His body was energized and partially reformed.
He didn't understand what have happened on that strange dream, but feeling how his body had internally changed he knew it wasn't just a normal dream. The paralyzing poison has been completely expelled and it seemed he got a kind of resistance to these poisons.
"He woke up!"
"Seth are you alright?" Caizhi asked worried.
"Hm? Where are we?" He was in an unfamiliar room and currently laying on a bed.
"After you passed out, Lilian and I carried you to the city. This is a room we booked in an inn we found."
"Where is Lilian right now?" Seth looked around and didn't see Lilian anywhere in the room.
"Well... It's like this. After entering the city, we found out that there is an abnormal flux of people visiting this place. Every inn we went was already fully booked. We ended up finding this place, but... There was only a single room left. Lilian went outside, trying to discover why so many people are coming here and to find us another place to stay."
Creak!
At this time the door opened and Lilian entered with a downcast countenance. She looked around and saw Seth already standing up from the bed.
"Oh! You finally woke up!"
"How long did I black out for?"
"You stayed in that situation for eight hours. All that time your body reacted really strange, sometimes some red lines were appearing on your skin. We thought you were poisoned by the elves since they are known to use poison on their arrows nowadays."
Lilian approached Seth and said: "I don't know what sorcery you did but, all this time that girl didn't leave your side."
Caizhi blushed after being exposed.
Seth smiled and asked changing the subject: "Anyway, why are you dispirited?"
"I went out to gather information and it seems that there will be a huge event happening in this city soon. All the inns are completely full."
"An event? Caizhi told me that the city is crowded, what event can possibly fill an entire city?" freeweb novel.co m
"Hm, what do you know about our current influential power position?" Lilian asked as a human being, so her point of view was directed towards the human territory.
"There are some kingdoms within the human territory. The majority of them, there is a power controlling the central power. However, there are a lot of different sects that are formed outside the central power. They just need to vow their loyalty and contribute for the central powers." Seth told her what he understood about the scenario.
"You're on the right track, however, there is more. Our Blazing Phoenix Sect sits at the third place among the ranks of power, and we have a lot of sects that were formed within our territory and follow us as their leader. Even so, our existence can only bow to the Higher Grounds."
"Higher Grounds?" Seth asked.
Lilian nodded.
"There are three Higher grounds that are far stronger than any nation and they are the rulers of our territory. Although, you will not see any of them appearing that much on the outside world, as they are sects fully focused on cultivation."
Lilian continued: "This week, the biggest event in this city history will happen. One of those sects will be recruiting the most talented individuals for training. On top of that, this sect is known to have the most beautiful females, and they will ever only accept females as their disciples."
"Only females?"
"Could this be..." Caizhi looked in shock.
"Yes, one of the strongest sects in this world will be recruiting. The Glazed Lake!"
"The Glazed Lake is responsible for one of the most important contributions for this continent. Their sect arts are based on the water element and its ice variant. They used that proficiency to map the oceans surrounding the entire continent. That is a fact worth enough to be remembered for, however, what makes than more famous is that any female they recruit is a peerless beauty."
"And they have one of the top three beauties in the entire world!" Caizhi continued.
'What the hell? Is there even a top three for these things?' Seth couldn't understand why people valued beauty so much.
"Top three beauties? Care to explain?" freew(e)bnovel.com
Lilian and Caizhi looked at him like he was some country bumpkin. A stare that a stylist would give to someone that knew nothing about fashion.
"It's said that god has specially given these women all his care. The Elf Queen's only daughter. It's said that every flower would worship her whenever she appears. She lives hidden deep in the elf territory. People gave her that nickname of Fairy of Nature."
Seth listened with attention.
"The deceased Devil Empress daughter. They say her beauty is like the shiny moon illuminating the night skies. Her personality is cold and frigid and she rarely interacts with someone. Her nickname is Silver Nights as she has a silvery hair that seems flawless."
"!!!" Seth's jaw got so open that you could easily fit an apple inside now.
"Hm, why are you doing that funny expression?" Caizhi asked.
"Huh? It's nothing, she must be really beautiful to be described like that."
"She is. People say that before the Demon empress passed away, she was not only beautiful, but cheerful and happy as well. It added even more to her beauty."
Lilian continued: "The other one is the Deep Lake Goddess, our human goddess. She is by far, the most talented person in the entire continent. Rumors are that she has recently entered the Mana Sovereign Realm, an unprecedented achievement for a person on her age. I think she is twenty-seven years old now, the other Sovereigns around the continent are all over three hundred years old at least."
While Lilian talked about the Deep Lake Goddess her eyes sparkled with admiration. It's almost as if she was the pride of humanity.. This actually made Seth develop a bit of interest towards this Deep Lake Goddess.
