Mystical Journey

Panda Novel

Scarlet Snow Headquarters, in the courtroom.

A golden pillar of light that reached the sky and touched the earth had shot down directly from the outer space, descending upright onto the basilica right in front of the courtroom.

Garen led all of the Scarlet Snow Sect powerhouses to stand in front of the golden light. There was a modest smile on his face when he gazed upon the light pillar.

Shh…

The light pillar scattered, revealing a group of nine people inside.

These nine people wore peculiar golden clothes. Eight of them looked considerably normal, but the leader looked exceptionally strange.

He was a Two-faced Person!

He had a man’s face in front and a woman’s face on the back of his head. It seemed like these male and female faces were sliced into two halves and glued together from the back. It was extremely peculiar.

The leader wore a golden skirt-like outfit. He had no hair, and his shiny bald head reflected some faint, silver shades. He had obviously absorbed some specialized substances into his body.

“Scarlet Snow Sect! How daring!” The moment he descended, the leading Two-faced Person spoke in a shrill yet bewitching voice. He used a universal language to chide Garen loudly, but he spoke very strangely.

“I’m here to pay a formal visit to the great Lord Emissary,” Garen was still dressed in a white robe and golden helmet. The helmet made it impossible to see his face underneath clearly, as everything was merely pitch-black.

He led his group of Non-falling Level powerhouses to face the Two-faced Person and the others before bowing slightly.

“Pay a formal visit? Do you still think that it’s necessary for you to pay a formal visit after you openly and brazenly broke the rules of the Alliance?!” The Two-faced Person’s entire body was brimming with extremely terrifying distorted forces when he exposed his Level Nine Peak powers completely without bothering to conceal them at all.

Aside from him, there were two Level Nines among the eight other people behind him, while the remainders of them were Level Eights. It was clear that only large-sized sects could receive insider information like this.

“Despite the Major Battle being in sight, you actually dared take advantage of the void and enter before assaulting the headquarters of the other sects. According to the rules of the Alliance, a severe capital punishment in accordance with the laws may be inflicted upon those who break the rules!” said the Two-faced Person sternly in a shrill voice.

The atmosphere became tense suddenly. The powerhouses of the Scarlet Snow became anxious instantly, as auras of mutual hostility filled the air around as if they could strike at any time.

However, Garen raised his hand and signaled everyone to remain calm. He faced the other party head-on and opened his mouth.

“Allow me to inform you, Lord Emissary. The small-sized sects received support from the other sects that were their close friends. The great concern regarding this matter made it impossible for us not to dispatch our troops immediately to help the other sects eliminate any future troubles…” Garen explained in a respectful tone. “A shocking secret was concealed within it as well. All of the powerhouses who were there can attest to this.”

Garen lowered his head immediately after that and transmitted a few voice messages.

Although the Two-faced Person and the others were initially harboring traces of an unconcerned attitude, their gazes became more serious after this voice transmission instead.

The voice transmission ended quickly. Garen had even transferred a series of images that were actually his memories of the battle between him and the dark colossal dragon.

After they had finished looking at the images.

“Everything that you mentioned was real?!” The Two-faced Person’s tone relaxed. The spies among the Energy Machinists had apparently infiltrated them to this extent. This was simply unimaginable! Since they were a large-sized sect, they were unfortunately unconcerned about the small and medium-sized sects. He recalled this now and thought about the consequences that would occur in the event that these sects suddenly revolted during the Major Battle…

The aftermath would be unimaginably severe!

The Two-faced Person himself was of a high ranking, he also knew that some Mech Pilots were against the overall arrangement of Energy Machinists. However, he had not expected that the situation had reached this stage. Moreover, he had never anticipated that his heart would suddenly suffer a great shock the moment he heard Garen mention these things.

“I can assure you that everything I said was true!” Garen answered in a strangely confident manner. “If you don’t believe me, you can look for the other Guardians of the sects that I’ve visited and ask them yourself. It’s impossible that this matter is a lie. I do not have the powers great enough to lie about this.”

“The Major Battle will officially begin in a few days! If what you said is true, we will have to deploy even stronger forces here as well. However, we’re afraid that it’ll be very difficult to transfer forces to attend to this area!” The Two-faced Person’s tone had calmed down. “If what you said is true, you deserve great credit in this matter! I will relay your merits to the three Holy Lords properly!”

When he saw that Garen’s powers were clearly at Level Nine Peak through the images, the Two-faced Person looked squarely at him now. Moreover, he started to humble himself when facing Garen after receiving such major news.

“Thank you very much, Lord Emissary.”

“The pleasure is mine, Sect Master Garen,” The Two-faced Person was more polite now. “I was wondering if the Guardians of any other sects in the Scarlet Snow Alliance were here. I was hoping to meet them personally and ask them briefly about the entire situation.”

“This isn’t a problem,” nodded Garen. “My own sect accidentally received a mysterious and specialized treasure that can strengthen one’s own powers recently. Since we sensed that the Energy Machinists would probably encounter great difficulties, I resolved to invite a few Sect Masters with whom I have good relations to come forward and share this with me. Right now, they’re coincidentally here as well and have not left yet. Lord Emissary, you can question them freely at any time.”

He purposely emphasized the treasure and its strengthening capabilities clearly when he mentioned both of them. His intentions to bribe the other party could not be any clearer.

The Two-faced Person’s gaze faintly stirred suddenly when he heard this. A treasure that could upgrade their powers at this grade was simply something extremely precious. These abilities were not something that could be achieved by just using anything.

“Lord Emissary, this way please,” Garen extended his hand and led the group of nine people toward a stone staircase on another side that led to a banquet hall.

The remaining Ice Demon Generals exchanged glances secretly and dispersed naturally after taking the hint. Only the Level Eight Osho Ice-Ocean remained like an old housekeeper who began acting in a friendly manner towards the few Emissaries.

Along the way, Garen used the Imprint to openly inform the few Guardians to come forward and pay their respects to the Lord Emissary formally.

The few Guardians over there who had undergone his parasitic controls displayed certain vigilant responses respectively. They clearly exhibited attitudes of not wanting to share the treasure that they had received with even more outsiders.

This made the heart of the Two-faced Person, who had assumed he was eavesdropping on the voice transmissions, even more determined.

“Didn’t you say that we were only sharing it among these few people? Why is there another additional Emissary now?” said the mummy through the voice transmission unhappily. “Should I be worried that he won’t even be able to reach Level Nine Peak?”

“The Lord Emissary is different. He’s unlike the previous Emissaries…” Garen persuaded him with kind words before the mummy reluctantly agreed and cut off the connection while huffing.

“Was that the golden mummy? I’ve heard of this person. Wasn’t he just on Level Eight? How did he get to Level Nine suddenly?”

Within the group of Emissaries, a blue-haired girl behind the Two-faced Person opened her mouth and asked suddenly.

“This…” Garen made a face which hinted that it was difficult to explain.

“It’s a scam!” The woman stopped asking disdainfully.

They were all Two-faced People, but some of them were unsatisfied with the blue-haired woman. This allowed Garen and the others to see that this group was not completely united.

The Level Nine Peaks of the large-sized sects were unlike the average Level Nines. Their trump cards could be similar to the dark colossal dragon or perhaps even stronger. Moreover, they could also use other means of resolving their issues. Naturally, Garen would not choose to use violence.

The group was led into the banquet hall quickly.

A few Guardians were already waiting there. Although their behaviors were secretly disdainful, they were still forced to put in sufficient effort into their appearances. After all, these Emissaries represented the entire Federation of Energy Machinists.

When they entered the banquet hall, the group of Emissaries paid no attention to the handsome men and beautiful women who were currently serving the food while fluttering about like gorgeous butterflies. Instead, the gazes of these Emissaries were focused on the few Guardians who had stood up from their seats.

The Energy Machine Imprints of the Energy Machinists in this grade could be used as extensive databanks. The information of these Guardians would naturally be included inside as well. Within a short span of time, the group was clearly aware of the exact details regarding the three Guardians here. They even uncovered the strength of their sects and some other detailed information.

However, the thing that truly shocked them was that these few people’s strength and the information that was listed were severely mismatched. On average, their strength was critically underestimated by at least a full level!

Even so, how significant would the difference of one level be if they had already reached Level Eight?

One would only need to compare the quantities of those of Level Eight and those of Level Nine to discover the magnitude of the obstacles between those two levels.

According to the official statistics, there were more than sixty thousand Level Eight powerhouses in the entire human race.

On the other hand, there were only more than five thousand that reached Level Nine. This included the number of internal Mech Pilots in the entire human race. However, since it was impossible to estimate the current total human population, these were merely rough calculations from earlier.

The human race and the Finite people ruled more than ten thousand habitable planets and over a hundred thousand inhabitable ones. There were at least seven to eight billion people on each of these planets.

These enormous populations were spread across two gigantic nebulae.

There were only over five thousand Level Nine powerhouses throughout these populations. The difference between them was extremely terrifying.

After all, not every planet occupied Guardians that were Level Eight or above. Only the important planets would have Level Eight, Level Nine, or even Level Ten Perpetual Motioners defending them. Most of the remaining planets would naturally not be allocated with such an important military strength.

Moreover, these statistics were basically stagnant for more than a thousand years without any changes. Throughout a period of over a thousand years in the other worlds, there were seemingly no groups of Level Eights that could break through to Level Nine, or at least there were not enough to affect the numbers and cause changes. The difficulty could be seen through this.

In order for a Level Eight to enter Level Nine, other than experiencing at least a thousand years of hardships, they would also need to grasp the realm of the Sublime Board. They would experience soaring improvements if they were able to grasp these realm-like things. However, it would be a complete waste if they were unable to comprehend it throughout their entire lives no matter how much of it they accumulated.

The Emissaries were shocked now because these three people who were only listed as Level Eights in the information a thousand years ago had apparently entered Level Nine instantly. It would not be a big deal if they had merely entered Level Nine, but now they were apparently at the Level Nine Peaks as well!

“This…” The Two-faced Person suppressed the shock in his mind forcibly. He instantly understood that this was definitely the effect of the treasure that Garen had mentioned earlier.

“Lord Emissary, you guessed it correctly,” Garen transmitted his voice to him secretly. “This treasure is the reason why I went on an expedition to form an alliance. I knew that my own sect could not support first-rate resources like this at all. This is the primary reason that the Scarlet Snow Alliance was truly established. If you are willing to join us, I will naturally give you a part of this treasure, Lord Emissary. This treasure can only be used once on each person but it can increase and strengthen various aspects of one’s physical qualities by over tenfold. It’s extremely terrifying!”

The Two-faced Person was already abnormally greedy from the start. A tinge of expectation flashed in the depths of his eyes immediately after he heard the things that were said.

“Let me see this treasure first.”

The remaining Emissaries could not suppress their curiosity and expectations either. They were all looking at Garen.

Garen invited everyone to sit down first.

“Lord Emissary, you arrived at such a good time. If you, Lord Emissary, became a member of our alliance, our forces would definitely increase greatly,” When he noticed that the gazes of the crowd were hopeful but somewhat impatient as well, Garen did not say too much.

He turned his hand and faced his palm upwards. A spherical flesh ball covered in blue tentacles lay on his palm quietly.
