System: Replicating The Heavens

Alex left with Elder Valerio and soon arrived in front of a cave. Alex looked at the cave and his eyes flickered as an attribute panel appeared in front of him.

[Name: C Grade Dimension Gate.

Detail: C Grade Dimension Gate hides a dimension inside. This dimension is more like a secret realm and at the same time, it is different, for this place exists somewhere in the same world. C Grade Dimension Gate just connects a place to a different place.]

Alex was Shocked. He didn't expect what was in front of him. His astonished face was seen by Valerio and he was also surprised. Valerio didn't expect Alex to recognize the Dimension Gate.

"Do you know what is in front of you?"

To confirm, Valerio asked with a smile. Alex subconsciously nodded his head but soon realized and hurriedly started shaking his head.

Valerio had the same smile on his face. He had lived for too long, how could he be fooled by a kid? But he didn't say anything. He took out two tokens and gave one of them to Alex.

"This is the key to entering the Dimension Gate. Remember, without the key, you won't be able to step past the dimension gate. In fact, you might be seriously injured if you try to force your way in."

Alex looked at the token and saw complicated patterns carved on it. The token was black in color and was in a rectangle shape, and the patterns on it were silver in color. A very small-sized light dot seems to be moving on the patterns.

At this time, Valerio injected his spirit energy into the token, causing the patterns on the token to suddenly light up, enveloping Valerio's entire body into silver radiance. Then Valerio stepped past the dimension gate that was actually the cave's entrance.

Alex witnessed everything and felt like he was dreaming. He had never seen something like this before.

He also did the same, entered and passed through the C Grade Dimensional Gate, appearing in an entirely new environment.

Alex actually found himself standing in front of a beautiful lake whose area was about 500 square meters. This lake looked too beautiful and silver radiance could be seen n the surface of its water.

Not only this, a few golden and silver carps could be seen swimming and having fun inside the water.

At the border of the lake, there were beautiful flower plants. This lake was actually at the center of a big verdant grass field.

Not far away was a small courtyard.

Valerio was standing in front of the courtyard.

Alex arrived in front of him and silently admired the scenery. And after some time, he became serious and asked: "Master, how many Deacon Elders are there in the Profound Star Sect?"

Valerio pointed at a stone bench in the courtyard and gestured for Alex to sit down.

"First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Valerio Piroddi. As for where I came from, it's too early for you to know. Just remember that I'm just a guest elder of Profound Star Sect, I don't truly belong here. I have another two disciples, but they are not in the Essence Sky World."

"En-hmm, don't ask any question. You are not strong enough right now, When you can at least become an Exalted Void Stage expert, I'll answer your questions." Valerio knew Alex was about to ask some questions, so before Alex could ask, he stopped him.

"Let's talk about the outer sect, there are a total of 18 sections and 8 danger zones in the outer sect of Profound Star Sect. Other than that, there are at least thousands of buildings. Among them are the Mission Hall, the Technique Impartation Hall, the Hidden Treasure Pavilion, the Spirit Pill Pavilion, the Pill Refining Tower, the Weapon Refining Workshop, etc. You won't be going to these places often, however, the Mission Hall will be a place you will go often in the future."

After a pause, Valerio continued, "In the Mission Hall, there is an elder guarding it. He is the Elder you just met. Don't provoke him for no reason. He is only responsible for recording the blood essence of the new disciples every year. You have to accept missions from the other elders who are on duty in the Mission Hall."

"Besides that, there are a total of 600 Deacon Elders in the Profound Star Sect, and only 200 of them are in the sect currently. The rest of them are in charge of all kinds of resources in the Sect. For example, the mines, trading companies, and the market. Because every year, we have to hand over 30% of our income to force of the Middle Land that is directly connected to other parts of the world. Since you came from the Wasteland, you should know that there are three cultivation lands and they are just like a dot in the ocean in front of true Essence Sky World. This world... It is a high Levelled World. Well, you'll know about these things in the future.

Coming back to the point, I was talking about the strongest force of the Middle Land that is directly connected to the rest of the Essence Sky World, the Flame Dragon Clan."

"You must be curious. There are more than six hundred Deacon Elders, but only a thousand outer sect disciples are accepted every time in the disciple selection, right?" Valerio said with a faint smile.

"Yes!" Alex nodded.

"Everything is because of the resources. Profound Star Sect used to be a First Rate Force, however, the ancestor of Profound Star Sect, Gatlin, provoked the Flame Dragon Clan somehow. That caused not only the disappearance of the sect's ancestor, it also caused the decline of the Profound Star Sect. Now, there are not enough resources. There is no way to support a large number of disciples. The Profound Star Sect has seventy to eighty percent of the resources. All of them were spent on the inner and core disciples, and some of them were left behind that belong to the outer sect disciples. But... To grow stronger, disciples need a large number of resources. But we don't have enough resources. What should we do?"

"Snatch! Yes, you heard right. If you have sufficient strength, snatch resources from others. Only then will you have the chance to become an inner sect disciple, and become the true target of the Profound Star Sect's cultivation." Valerio continued.

"It seems like this Profound Star Sect isn't as tall as the outside world. Resources still need to be robbed. However, compared to the forces of Wasteland, it is much better." Alex sighed in his heart.

"Although your current cultivation base is a little low, your combat strength is very strong and you are also young. Be careful when you walk outside. Who knows, someone would stab you in the back for resources. Also, you have to pay more attention to Morcus and Antonio." Valerio said.

"I will remember it in my heart." Alex nodded his head in agreement. He also knew that Morcus and Antonio are hidden dangers and he should be extremely careful of them.

"Alright, the cultivation and martial skills you are cultivating don't seem weak. So, I'll not give you other cultivation techniques or martial arts skills. If you have any problem in the future while comprehending something, you can come and ask me." Valerio smiled, then turned around and left, leaving Alex deep in thought.

First of all, Alex finally knew why Gatlin was injured and his cultivation was sealed. He has actually offended the most powerful force of the Middle Land, the Flame Dragon Clan.

And he actually disappeared.

It is no wonder why Gatlin was living in the Floating Cloud Academy. It is because he knows if he returned to the Profound Star Sect, this time, the Flame Dragon Clan might erase the Profound Star Sect from the surface of Essence Sky World.

Well, this Flame Dragon Clan actually attracted Alex's attention. It is because it was the only force that knows how to connect to the rest of the Essence Sky World.

Well, the Three Cultivation Lands are divided because of the Death Valley, and Death Valley is also the reason why it is separated from the rest of the Essence Sky World. Only Flame Dragon Clan is powerful enough to lead everyone, crossing the Death Valley and stepping into the true Essence Sky World.

This Death Valley is also quite mysterious though.

Alex had made up his mind to explore the Death Valley after becoming strong enough.

Right now, many secrets were already standing in front of Alex. It is just that they are covered in curtains, blocking Alex's sight. As long as Alex could become strong enough to remove those curtains, he could come in contact with those secrets that are currently out of his reach.

And Alex was determined to remove the curtains and know the secrets.
