"People from the Feng family will take all the rooms at the right side of the hall while the Ling family will take the left side. Now you all can go" The middle aged man leading the full crowd suddenly said after they arrived at the second floor of the ancient pagoda before him along with the other two middle aged men suddenly vanished out of thin air.
"I and my people will meet you all at the banquet tonight" Feng Po said with a light smile on his face as he first put his gaze on Hutton for only a moment before he began to move along with the other people in the Feng family.
’Seems like I need to be careful of these people in this place’ Hutton thought with a grim look on his face.
"You all should go and take a room. But leave the one that is the closest to the ending the hall to me" Ling Huang Chou said with a calm look on his face before he began to move towards the room he spoke of taking.
"Hey Hutton, why don’t we take the rooms that is right next to the Grand elder?" Ling Jun suddenly asked in a low voice.
"Of cause" Hutton answered almost instantly as he began to walk straight towards the room that is right next to Ling Huang Chou’s room.
’Seems like he has already have that thought’ Ling Jun thought with a wry smile on his face as he followed Hutton towards that area.
While Hutton, Ling Jun and a few more people were going to pick a room, Ling Jian could be seen just standing at the place he was when he entered the second floor as he deeply stares at the ominous door at the ending of the hall.
"Young master, aren’t you coming?" Just then, Ling Po Jun called out to him which brought him back to his senses.
"Am coming" Ling Jian answered in a straight tone before he began to walk towards the room that is right at the middle of the rooms.
And so, the people from the Ling family and the Feng family went into their respective bedrooms in the second floor of the ancient pagoda.
’What a simple looking bedroom’ Hutton thought with a calm expression on his face as he observed the room he is currently in.
The room exudes an air of mystique and elegance, with intricately carved wooden panels adorning the walls, depicting scenes from ancient folklore and myth. A traditional opulent canopy bed, draped in luxurious silk fabrics, stands as the centerpiece, its intricate patterns reflecting the craftsmanship of skilled artisans. Soft, ambient lighting from oil lamps casts a warm glow across the room, illuminating delicate porcelain vases filled with fragrant blooms. A faint scent of sandalwood lingers in the air, adding to the tranquil atmosphere. Through latticed windows, the gentle sound of waves lapping against the pagoda’s foundation provides a soothing backdrop, inviting peaceful slumber amidst the timeless beauty of the sea.
’I think I should rest a little before I go check that door at the ending of the hall’ Hutton thought as he approached his bed and sat on it cross legged.
Right after that, Hutton immediately closed his eyes as he began to do some self meditation.
"....Young one..." But not too long after Hutton fell into meditation, a voice suddenly sounded out in his mind which immediately broke him out of meditation.
’Huh? What just happened?’ Hutton thought with a confused look on his face. But he eventually brushed that thought out of his mind as he tries to meditate again.
"....come to me..." Yet again, as soon as Hutton fell into meditation, the same voice came into his mind as which took him out of the meditative state he was in.
’What the f*ck is going on?’ Hutton thought again with a more confused look on his face. But just then, he suddenly felt an ominous aura coming into his room from the door which made him to turn towards the door.
What he saw was a black colored mist coming into his room from under the door.
"What the f*...." Hutton muttered as he came down from the bed and approached his door. After approaching it, he quickly opened the door.
"F*ck me!!" Hutton exclaimed with a look of disbelief on his face as he blankly stared at what is in front of him and his room.
Apparently, what he is seeing now is an endless and empty black void all around him with only his room seen in it.
’How in the world did this happen?’ Hutton thought with a baffled look on his face as he took a step forward out of his room. But as soon as he did, his room door suddenly shut itself before it vanished mysteriously and in a straightforward manner.

Not only that, but right before Hutton could understand what is going on, right in the midst of an endless and empty black void, Hutton found himself at the mercy of an unseen and unfathomable force, dragged relentlessly onward through the darkness. With each tumultuous pull, he felt a sense of disorientation and fear, unsure of where he was being taken or why.
Time seemed to lose its meaning as he was propelled forward, the void stretching infinitely in all directions. Hutton’s heart raced with a mixture of apprehension and curiosity, his surroundings offering no clues as to his destination.
Eventually, after what felt like an eternity, the relentless journey came to an abrupt halt. Hutton stumbled forward, his feet finding solid ground beneath them for the first time in what seemed like ages. As his eyes adjusted to the sudden change, he found himself standing in the grandeur of an ancient and royal throne room.
The room was vast and opulent, adorned with gilded columns and intricate tapestries that depicted scenes of conquest and triumph. A magnificent throne sat at the far end of the chamber, its ornate design hinting at centuries of regal authority.Despite the grandeur surrounding him, Hutton couldn’t shake the feeling of unease that lingered in the air. The silence was oppressive, broken only by the faint echo of his own footsteps as he cautiously made his way further into the room.
’Where am I?’ Hutton thought with a curious yet worried look on his face. But just then he heard a voice trailed into his ear as something appeared right in front of him.
"Welcome, young one"
Hutton’s gaze fell upon the imposing figure seated upon the royal throne. The atmosphere seemed to bend to the will of the man who sat there, exuding an aura of authority that was as palpable as it was undeniable.
The emperor, his features weathered by the passage of countless years and his eyes gleaming with the wisdom of ages, radiated an undeniable presence that commanded respect and reverence. Clad in regal robes adorned with intricate patterns symbolizing his mastery of cultivation, he seemed to embody the very essence of power and dominance.
With each movement, the emperor exuded an air of effortless grace and control, his demeanor reflecting the discipline and refinement of a true master. His gaze bore into Hutton with an intensity that seemed to pierce through the young man’s very soul, leaving him feeling exposed and vulnerable before the ancient ruler.
As Hutton stood before the throne, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe and trepidation in the presence of this domineering figure. It was as if he stood in the presence of a force of nature, one whose influence extended far beyond the confines of the throne room.
Despite the weight of the emperor’s presence bearing down upon him, Hutton felt a stirring within his own spirit, a realization that he stood at a crossroads where his destiny would be irrevocably altered by the encounter with this ancient cultivator. With a mixture of apprehension and determination, he braced himself for whatever trials lay ahead, knowing that his meeting with the emperor would shape the course of his own journey in ways he could scarcely imagine.
While trying to compose himself, Hutton asked with a neither humble nor arrogant tone.
"Were you the one who brought me here, honorable one?"
"Yes I did, young one" The emperor answered almost instantly withba serene look on his face.
"Can I know why honorable one?" Hutton asked again after taking in a deep breath still trying to calm himself down.
When the emperor heard this question, both his expression and his demeanor suddenly became deep and solemn which immediately made Hutton to have weak legs as he tries withstand the aura that is bearing down on him.
’What a formidable presence’ Hutton thought with a darkened look on his face. After a whole 5 minutes went by, the emperor finally spoke up in a deep tone.
"Because I need the right candidate for the mission I have at hand".
