Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao

208  Triggering a Heavenly Phenomenon!

In the heart of the ruins, remnants of the once-majestic Red Sky Sect, disciples gathered in a cluster of curious faces.

They were gathered together and stood before an elevated platform.

"What does this mean?" n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"I don't know."

"Don't tell me Prince Arthur cleared all the challenges."

"How is that possible? Even Karuq only reached the fifth level in the challenge before he was defeated."

"Yeah, and Karuq has entered the Half-step Martial Emperor Realm and has begun to build his foundation and has already achieved a two-star foundation."

"But if that is the case then why does he get to stand there with the guardian?"

Whispers flitted through the air like restless spirits as they eyed Arthur, the central figure in this unfolding drama.

The guardian, a stoic figure in his imposing robe, stood next to Arthur.

His announcement rippled through the assembly, echoing off the ancient walls.

"Arthur Hartfield is the inheritor of the Red Sky Sect. He has proven himself and defeated all of our best geniuses without a sweat."

"This is a talent that is enough to stand at the peak a hundred thousand years ago."

"Hence, I have no doubt that will do the same in this new age."

Skepticism danced in the eyes of some disciples.

An audible murmur of doubt coursed through the crowd but the words before them was the reality.

A daring few dared to voice their skepticism, questioning the validity of this proclamation.

"How can he be so powerful?!"

"Yeah, he was just a trash prince before!"

These ones were certain heirs of noble families who had treated Arthur unfairly in the past and are still in disbelief of Arthur's growth in strength.

Arthur glanced at them nonchalantly.

'A dragon can't pay attention to an ant.'

The guardian's eyes, like twin flames beneath his hood, glinted with a dangerous light.

With a swift movement, he unsheathed his hidden aura, an ethereal power descended on those who spoke with an otherworldly power.

*Bang!*

Those voices were heard no more as only the mist of blood remained in their place.

In the aftermath, only a chilling quiet hung in the ruins.

The other Princes were quiet and looked at each other silently as they had been the ones to instigate the disagreement.

The most angered of all was Prince Julius who clenched his fist secretly while maintaining a poker face.

'That bastard! Since when did he get so powerful?! Even more powerful than that freak Karuq?!'

The guardian's gaze swept the assembly, his silent warning lingering like a ghostly echo. His voice, a low growl, cut through the stillness.

"Arthur has proven himself through the challenges. His strength is recognized."

Meanwhile, Arthur stood, unperturbed, a silent figure amid the lingering tension.

"Everyone has received appropriate rewards that matched their strength. Now it is time to leave."

He waved his hand and then everyone was teleported out of the secret realm except Arthur.

As the disciples were being teleported out the members of the Red Sky Faction cheered for Arthur's name and even Helia joined in.

She never expected that the name she choosed for the faction will have a deeper meaning in the future.

Meanwhile, Anastasia had a complicated gaze as she was teleported out of the secret realm.

Arthur noticed, 'What's wrong with her?'.

The guardian's cloak billowed as he raised a small bottle, its contents shimmering like captured stardust.

"This is the Spiritual Essence you requested," the guardian stated, his tone begrudgingly acknowledging Arthur's success.

Arthur accepted the bottle, a glint of satisfaction in his eyes.

'With this I can easily breakthrough the Third Level of the Nine Heavens Soul Technique, and finally...'

The guardian's final words were brief but carried a weight that hinted at the depths of the challenges that lay ahead.

"Remember, you have a destiny intertwined with the Red Sky Sect."

"No I don't," Arthur disagreed.

"Tch! Never mind. You just do your part."

With those words, the guardian conjured a portal, a gateway to the world beyond the ruins. A swirl of mystic energy enveloped Arthur, whisking him away to the familiar academy he knew.

----------

As Arthur materialized on the familiar platform, the enthusiastic cheers of his Red Sky Faction disciples welcomed him.

"You did it young master!"

"Yeah, Prince Arthur. Too bad we didn't get to see the scene you promised."

"That's right, did the guardian really beg you to take the inheritance?" Anastasia cheerfully asked.

"What do you think?" Arthur grinned.

'Hmm, she is back to normal again. Something is definitely wrong,' He thought.

The energy in the air crackled with celebration.

Congratulations and cheers filled the space, but amidst the jubilation, Arthur's gaze remained composed.

"Congratulations Prince Arthur. You were indeed a hidden dragon amongst the others."

Many sons and daughters of noble households that always avoided Arthur came to congratulate him and even the Red Sky Faction members.

The members of th Red Sky Faction members were overwhelmed as they were mostly from low class commoner families.

His faction gathered around him, expressions of admiration and respect painted on their faces.

Unbeknownst to them, Arthur's hand discreetly clutched the concealed golden ring, a gateway to a hidden dimension where Freya dwelled in a mansion of quiet solitude.

"So this is the new Mortal Emperor Realm," Freya muttered as even she could sense a great change in the laws of heaven.

She can't explain why she could, but she did.

In the heavens, the ring's concealed aura triggered a celestial response.

A radiant light burst forth, encompassing Arthur's body as a golden red light shot into the clouds shocking everyone around Arthur, including Arthur himself.

Suddenly, across the Southern Continent and beyond, visions of majestic dragons and phoenixes danced in the sky.

A celestial melody, a Heavenly Dao sound that transcended mortal understanding, resonated in every corner of the Mortal Emperor World.

A cascade of purple-gold light descended upon Arthur.

Most of it flowed into the hidden dimension within the ring, infusing Freya with a profound energy.

Simultaneously, a portion landed on Arthur, rapidly elevating his cultivation level.

*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom* *Boom!*

Eight Stage Martial King Realm!

Ninth Stage Martial King Realm!

Peak Martial King Realm!

Finally.

It left him hovering on the verge of a breakthrough, a mere breath away from the coveted Half-Step Martial Emperor Realm.

The phenomenon concluded, leaving onlookers in awe.

"What just happened?" A disciple was stupefied by what he just saw.

"A Heavenly Phenomenon!"

"He just triggered a Heavenly Phenomenon!"

"What does this mean?"
