Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao

================¶¶================

"So you want a rematch?"

Arthur asked with raised eyebrows at Julie.

"Yes," Julie nodded firmly.

"Why, surely you don't believe you can defeat me."

"I just want to fight you with my full strength," her eyes were resolute and her tone was firm.

Julie knew how strong Arthur was but she felt ashamed that he might have underestimated him 'a bit'.

So she wanted to have a rematch after this mission and see how her full strength will fare against Arthur.

'As long as I don't lose in one move,' She thought to herself.

"I understand, I agree to your request," Arthur smiled, he did not take the rematch seriously at all.

"Thank you," Julie said in a voice that is almost a whisper.

"Hey, can I get a rematch too?!"

Aselia who was beside them asked as she suddenly felt left out and didn't like the fact that Arthur was talking to Julie all this while, with her being ignored.

'Is not like she is more beautiful...or that much beautiful than I am,' Aselia had a very competitive spirit and even though she won't admit it, she felt inferior to Julie.

"Yeah, sure. I'll try and make out time after now," Arthur finally turned to her.

In truth, he gave Julie more attention just to see how Aselia will react.

"But hey, by then you all will be in the Martial Origin Realm, and little me will only be a puny Gold Core Realm martial artist. So you have a good 'Chance' of winning," Arthur recalled that the others will be breaking through during this mission.

He was currently at the fifth rank of the Gold Cor Realm and he still has five more realms to break through to reach the peak before thinking of ascending to a higher cultivation realm.

"Hmph! As if you can be called a 'puny' Gold Core Cultivator. Hey, by the way, I am curious about something else," Aselia scoffed.

Julie kept silent and did not comment as Arthur had already seen through her 'shameless' plan of fighting him when they have the power of a higher realm to gain an advantage.

And besides that, she was not much of a conversationist. As she is usually more reserved.

"What do you want to know?" Arthur felt Aselia was about to say something mischievous from her expression.

"Nothing too 'big', I just wonder if as a 'puny' Gold Core Realm cultivator as you say, are you 'puny' there too?" Aselia smirked.

"Oh is that so? Well, after this mission I can 'show' how puny I am. After all, I am better at giving a 'demonstration' rather than an explanation," Arthur looked at certain places on Aselia's body.

"Yeah, right. Not a chance, pervert. Hmph!"

"You are the one who asked but now I'm the pervert? Sigh...girls."

Arthur shook his head and then saw that Julie had a confused expression on her face.

"Wait, don't tell me you don't get it?"

"What? Who said so...of course I do...maybe?" Julie was flustered a bit and pretended that she understood when in reality she had no idea.

"Puff-hahaha! This is what happens when you have no friends!" Aselia mocked her. She won't miss an opportunity to make Julie embarrassed.

"Who said I have no friends...I have...my...uh.."

"Gather around!" The elders had returned.

'Just in time,' Julie mentally felt grateful for the timing.

"Hmph! You got lucky, I would like I hear who are your friends," Aselia turned away.

"Yeah, I would also love to hear about the times that you have won against me. Oh, that's right, you haven't!" Julie retaliated.

"Wooooah, girls calm down. You don't want to create a scene." Arthur said as he saw that they were drawing a bit of attention.

The two girls looked at each other with literal sparks in their eyes and harumphed at the same time.

"Hmph!"

After that, they gathered with the others.

"The coast is clear and the secret realm will be opening anytime soon," said the elder of the Alchemy Association.

He gestured behind him where a monolith could be seen and symbols that were not visible before we're beginning to surface.

"I believe you all know the rules. You gather as many medicinal herbs as you can. And maybe you can even attempt to get the inheritance of the Alchemist if you are able," the elder smiled.

He knew that only Alchemists could take an inheritance test of an Alchemist Master, so he just said that nonchalantly.

Although there were very rare cases where the test is made in such a way that even non-alchemist can attempt and pass successfully but that isn't very likely to happen in this case.

"In there careful as the terrain might be dangerous. Also, it would be better if you never separate as we do not know how big the realm is."

"But you don't have to worry too much as these tokens we will be giving to you will guide you to the core of the secret realm where the inheritance and the most important garden are."

A token carved with unknown symbols was given to the twenty of them.

After that, they waited in silence as they watched the monolith begin to reveal more and more symbols, and slowly, the symbols began to glow and a vibrating sound could be heard.

*Vroom!*

A door of light suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Good! The realm is open, you all can go in now. The token in your hand has a teleportation function in it and if you break it, you will be teleported out of the realm if there be any danger."

"The tokens are treasures from the secret realm itself so you can rest assured."

The twenty disciples nodded and without further ado, they all entered with the Alchemy Association disciples in the lead.

With that, they disappeared into the door.

But the door of light was still there, only that no one else can enter.

"Will be okay?"

"They should. All inquiries and tests show that this is a realm made to pass on the inheritance of an alchemist, so there won't be any fatal danger."

"We'll wait and see how it goes then."

```````````````

Arthur's vision blurred for a moment and he felt a warp-like feeling of displacement before he felt his feet on solid ground.

He opened his eyes and saw that they had entered a different place all entirely.

*Blergh!*

Someone vomited and a few of them followed suit. They could stand the feeling of getting warped to another dimension like the stronger ones.

As for those who did not vomit, they were shaking their head due to dizziness and Arthur was the only one who felt nothing.

'I wonder why?'

No one noticed it except the daughter of the Alchemist Association President.

'How is he okay? Or is he pretending?'

'No, no one can fake such an experience. Maybe he has faced something similar before?'

She began to get curious about Arthur and gave him a good look for the first time.

Arthur walked ahead of the rest and surveyed the area.

They were on a paved road that led straight ahead, and beside the road was a grass field.

'It is not as big as I imagined,' The realm wasn't so big and at the end of Arthur's vision, he could see the rough figure of a mansion.

There were no herbs or spirit beasts as he expected. The entire place was eerily quiet.

Arthur then secretly released his spirit power and was not able to sense anything strange.

'This all feels too normal...eh? Someone is staring,' Arthur sensed a gaze from behind him and turned to see the girl that was looking at him curiously but averted her eyes the instant he turned.

After sometime later, everyone felt normal and they showed the same surprise as Arthur as the realm was normal.

"Okay, let us move. There is already a clear path ahead of us. Looking at the distance we should get there in a few hours."

The president's daughter spoke and then they moved towards the palace in the distance.

The original plan was to break through immediately after entering the realm to be strong enough for any dangers.

But by the looks of things, there was no danger in sight. So they will have to get to the palace first before knowing what to do.

But while they moved very fast, Arthur suddenly slowed down for a bit and then increased his speed to normal.

'So this place isn't all that safe after all...'

His fate sense had been triggered and Arthur kept his spirit power released just in case.

From what he sensed this place was laced with opportunity and danger. But the danger was much greater.

A few minutes after Arthur and the rest had gone far.

*Swoosh!*

In a flash of light, ten figures appeared where Arthur and the others did.

Just like Arthur's group many of them vomited and some fell due to dizziness, but when they got better and looked around, they were just as surprised as their predecessors.

"This is not what we were told we would face."

A blonde-haired boy with cat-like ears spoke as he sniffed around.

"Be on your guard, the humans are already here. We will be going behind them."
