BXBX NOVEL Chapter 247 Submission
After those three boldly written words, there was nothing else on the scroll. Up and down Seth keenly scrutinized the scroll but he couldn't find any other information, and with that, he turned to Aimy.
"What is this?"
Having stopped crying, Aimy had already wiped her tears, with her eyes becoming fixated on the scroll which Seth had in his hand, not reacting even when Seth questioned her.
It took Seth waving his hands in front of the woman's face before she turned her head to him, her eyes beginning to turn moist once more, but she shook and head and firmed them up.
"Yes," Aimy asked.
"What is this" Seth repeated.
Aimy was first taken aback by Seth's question, surprised by his ignorance, but then she recollected herself and answered him.
"Ticket for the heavenly storm sect exam in 10 years" Aimy answered him.
"SECT" Seth repeated not exactly familiar with the word.
"Don't you know what a sect is?" Aimy asked seeking confirmation.
"No" Seth answered.
"They are cultivation schools with deep foundation, schools established by top cultivators and are usually a force on their own, greater than even kingdoms"
Sounds nice, but am not really looking forward to going to school" Seth said handing the scroll back to Aimy with a frown.
"No this isn't just any school you can find around, it's one located in a higher level world, and not just any high level, but an immortal world." Aimy hurriedly explained, but when she saw no look of interest on Seth's face, her face contorted into a frown.
"You don't know what an immortal world is do you?" she asked.
"No," Seth said.
"It's a world where the peak cultivation stage reaches the immortal realm" Aimy explained, her expression showing she was angry at Seth's ignorance.
"You mean like Egaroth" Seth inquired but it seems his words flipped Aimy's switch and she forgot she was begging him.
"No you idiot, this is just a world full of arrogant idiots who dare to call the stage above the 9th level immortal, were they to step into an immortal world, they would be nothing but slaves used for labor," Aimy explained, and then quickly came to her senses on her behavior.
"I am sorry I didn't mean to insult you "Aimy began trying to explain, but Seth ignored her and turned back to the scroll.
"If this Sect is as great as you say it to be, then what makes you think I won't just kill you and be off with it"
"You tell me of an item that can take me to a world with cultivation far exceeding anything I can imagine, how am I to believe you when you just so naively exposed its existence and gave it away," Seth asked.
Truth be told, Seth already concluded that Aimy was lying, he found it hard to believe that a clumsy woman like her could be in a position of such an item.
"There is a pickup point where the school will come to find cultivators who wish to partake in the exam, and that pickup point will be revealed to only its owner when the time is right".
"Hmm" Seth chuckled," so what you're saying is that there is a seal here which allows only you to be able to find the pickup point, and unless you make me something like its owner, it would be useless to me," Seth asked.
"Yes," Aimy said.
Hearing a reply, Seth only smiled and took his eyes back to the scroll, a smile on his face as his enlightenment sphere was put on full blast working to understand whatever seal was on the scroll before him.
3 minutes later, Seth looked away from the book, a complicated expression on his face as he looked at the scroll in his hand.
Within that 3 minutes, Seth had used the first 30 seconds to correctly pour in his qi and have some unfamiliar symbols light up on the scroll and that was where his success ended.
Using the next minute, Seth tried to read and understand the symbols before him, but like he was reading another language with completely different rules, he could understand nothing.
As for the remaining 1.5 minutes, Seth spent that time trying to keep his eyes which were begging to ache open, a task which he eventually failed and cost him half of his enlightenment points
Seth had a feeling that if he were to persist, the next drain on his enlightenment sphere would see it disappear in less than 10 minutes with no gain.
"It's different" Seth silently commented.
"Of course it is, it's an item from an immortal world, you can't even begin to comprehend the abilities of such a world with your current knowledge," Aimy said.
"And how did you get something so valuable?"
"It's a treasure of my family, Irene initially wanted to use it, but well things didn't go as she wanted and so it's been handed to me," Aimy said.
"And you're just going to give it away? Seth probed but this question ticked off Aimy.
"What would you have me do" She gritted out," compared to going to some great world, I'll rather have my sister with me, besides it's not like you'll help me for free "
"So do you accept, you kill for me Zuroc and bring me his body, and in return I give you the scroll," Aimy said, her voice firm, yet the trembling eyes which she used to stare at the scroll gave away how much she treasured it.
"Sure," Seth said," I'll take the deal".
With the appearance of the scroll, a lot of new considerations popped up in Seth's mind.
Though he hadn't discerned much, the little he had gleaned from the scroll told Seth of a kind of proficiency and profundity in sealing that he had never encountered.
Despite the seal on the scroll being used only to prevent unauthorized access, the sealing implemented in its creation actually surpassed the teleportation block he had encountered in Ashad.
"I'll be keeping this then," Seth said, the scroll in his hand disappearing into his space ring.
Aimy wanted to complain, but in the end could only bow her head in defeat, coming to terms with the fact that she had given away the scroll.
Aimy's depression didn't last long though as the next second a huge frame suddenly blocked her vision and she couldn't help but let out an " eep" when her buns were squeezed.
"What are you doing" Aimy stammered, wanting to get out of Seth's grip, but his hands which were firmly grabbing her butt kept her in place, and then not long after a kiss claimed her mouth and kept it from asking useless questions.
"Nice" Seth said, after releasing Aimy's lips, watching as she bowed her head unable to look him in the eye, and put no real effort into getting out of his grip
The minute Aimy went forward to confess her betrayal to Seth, she had basically submitted herself to Seth.
"Do you hate me?" Seth asked, lifting Aimy's chin
"Why would I, you're my savior at the moment".
"Fine, we'll sign a contract and you'll tell me all you know about Zurac. Before Irene gets back, I want to be gone by then."
"If you leave so suddenly, what will I tell Irene," Aimy asked.
"Tell her I left on important business and to wait for me in the last valley," Seth said.
