Chapter 134: Elder Zu's secret! ...back at the monasteryIn a cave far away floating in the mountain range, a group of red-cloaked elders was gathered together, standing around a pit burning with green flames. Some maids stood behind each Elder, they were also wearing red cloaks along with male servants who were clothed similarly.A man who had his entire right side injured and laced with marks and deep gashes limped towards one of the elders and whispered something to his ear. The injured man who was whispering was the same male servant who was injured by Elder Lui in the previous encounter after he managed to kill maid Isla.The Elder to which he whispered took some time to check out his appearance and then looked away as he started the meeting. "Elders, the moment we have been waiting for is almost here. We all remember why we started this association. Individually we were weak and looked down on but together, we can get all the fame, glory, money, and power accrued to top Elder
Chapter 135: Ella's Ability!Elder Lui didn't pay any more attention to the exiting Elder Zu. He moved to sit with both Ella and Vera. Ella had the ability to read minds. It was the ability that developed during her activating of her spirituality.Before a commoner could become a monk, they would be tested on their spirituality, and during this test, they could either activate an ability just as Ella had done successfully or could have an increase in physical strength like in Vera's case.After this process of activation, they could then train to improve on the abilities that they have acquired till they reached the level of becoming Elders who are at the top of the power pyramid. To become a top Elder, they have to battle others and defeat them to take their position.Some would choose to go into hiding to avoid any confrontation, but that doesn't work because, during the challenging period held every 20 years, any Elder that doesn't make an appearance would automatically lose his
Chapter 136: Training!Two weeks of intense training had passed by. On a daily basis, Ella and Vera would train to the extent that every single cell in their bodies would be screaming for rest and food. Their bodies would ache for relaxation and their feet would hurt.Under the tutelage of Elder Lui, they would push their bodies to the extreme, their skills to the pinnacle, and their efforts to the maximum.Elder Lui is such a freak of nature, he had managed to move from the level of a junior monk to that of an elder monk in the space of a year. He wanted to use some of his secrets in training Ella and Vera to also stun the world as he had started to.Elder Lui stood directly opposite Ella and Vera, the gap between them was about 4 meters. "Before you engage the Elders on that list, I want you both to master at least two unique skills." Elder Lui said as he stared at the shocked ladies in front of him. They were both shocked because they knew the meaning of what he said and althoug
Chapter 137: Elder maker, Elder Lui!"Good Job Ella, Vera, it is now your turn" Elder Lui called out to Vera who stopped with the play mode and got serious. "l will try now master," she said as she approached Elder Lui."Vera you're good in swordsmanship, you're also very strong. You don't have any element skill, that is why I asked you to use your powerful body to create a skill.""Remember I told you about Elder Di, he used Buddha palm in a battle against me. That was a powerful body skill. That is also why I asked you to try it, but I don't want you to regurgitate his moves hook, line, and sinker, you won't be a master that way but a move stealer. You can use the buddha palm to make your own move but make sure you cultivate it to your own style and make it yours.""So let me see the outcome of your practice this last few weeks and I hope you have a name for it by now" Elder Lui finished speaking and watched Vera closely.Vera was feeling overwhelmed, she didn't know whether to mov
Chapter 138: The Secret Underground TunnelAlisha and her group decided to return after losing the chance to kill general Vhulkrum. The two survivors decided to join him. General Trist also decided to bring along his nephew but Alisha disagreed, she knew how dangerous the monastery was, and besides bringing along a young kid would just be a piece of extra baggage on their dangerous journey.After contemplating for a while, General Trist sent a message to his cousin through a cell phone, to go home at night and to be careful.The group of 6 made up of Alisha Morgan, Lamil Aureo, Marabel Wes, Zain Cole, General Trist Hebb, and Count Slov Dallas all moved deeper into the chimitra continent as they headed towards the monastery.General Trist Hebb and Count Slov Dallas both were at the rear, Lamil Aureo and Marabel Wes were directly in front of them, While Alisha and the conflicted Zain were at the forefront.They had gotten very close to the monastery, in fact, only a dense forest stood
Chapter 139: Elder Zu's defamation ofElder Lui!By the Afternoon time, the entire monastery had been gathered at the venue where Elder Lui and his two disciples were tied to a cross. Their hands were tied at the opposite sides of the cross and their legs were tied down and slightly bent.Elder Zu stood in front of a table of judges who wore a special white robe and sat behind a desk.A hearing is always mandatory for top Elders who were accused of wrongdoings, a monk at a lower level would be punished without trial unless an elder of equal or higher rank spoke up for him or her.Ella could hear the thoughts of Elder Zu clearly, she could also hear the thoughts of the judges, they were just curious, but Elder Zu had carefully planned his plot to kill Elder Lui and make it seem like he was doing the monastery a favor.He was smiling with happiness and confidence at his own plans. Ella was repulsed by the man's thoughts and actions. She wanted to tell Elder Lui all about it but she co
Chapter 140: The Sea of Secrets!After confirming both elders' decision to be tried by the sea of secrets, the Elder Judges decided to move the trial to the part of the monastery where the sea of secrets was located. One by one everyone was coordinated to move from where they were to another part of the monastery. They eventually got to a special part of the monastery which many hadn't seen before.A woman wearing a pendant made of teeth, arranged in a circular fashion around her neck, came out of an entrance made of mud. She wore headgear made of bones and cotton that rose considerably high on her head like a huge hat. Her hands had a small round band having a single tooth attached.She looked at the Elders who stood in front of her and the multitude behind them and looked on with hostility. "What do all of you want?" She asked with a very angry facial expression. One of the Elder judges came forth to speak, "Priestess Elisa, We have a bit of a disagreement involving a serious off
Chapter 141 : The TruthElder Lui moved close to the huge bowl with green liquid and placed his hands into the liquid as instructed, then he withdrew his hands to begin saying his part of the story.His eyes glowed green as he spoke. "4 days ago , Elder Zu came to my cave residence. During our discussions, he practically told me he had some maids he had been sleeping with, he also thought I was sleeping with my maids. When I vehemently refused and asked him to go and report to the elders, but he refused..." Elder Lui started to explain."That is a lie, you're a liar" Elder Zu shouted from the side, he looked enraged. The other Elders looked at him as if looking at a fool."Elder Zu, you are standing before the sea of secrets where nothing can be hidden. If he indeed is lying then he would end up dead." Priestess Elisa said nonchalantly and motioned for Elder Lui to continue. Elder Lui smiled and continued.The maids of Elder Lui looked at Elder Zu with a frown. 'What a fool' Ella thou
