98 : Inner Demons of the Void

Chapter 98

Inner demons of the void

"If an oath is useless, why would Master make you swear it?"

Kong Wen says in a deep voice. He then explains the general points on oaths that relate to mystics. In brief, oaths are like a checkpoint type of barrier. If you break an oath, no matter if you're a mage or martial artist, this oath will follow you forever, like an inner demon. It would only disappear if you manage to defeat it, or ....... if you yourself disappear.

If you are a mage, it is a hundred percent certain that you will remain at that same level from that point onwards. If you are a martial artist, it is even worse. When training to have a breakthrough, the oath will wind around you. At the least, it will leave you with a severe injury. At the worst, it would leave behind a hidden danger making you stuck in that state. That's why a lot of martial artists and mages won't swear an oath lightly.

You XiaoMo listens until he starts to drip with cold sweat. Luckily he didn't break the oath he swore the last time at the Central lineage. If not that plaything would latch on to him like an infection that reaches the bone. Then he will have no hope of ever rising in rank.

But speaking of being loyal to TianXin sect, You XiaoMo feels that he definitely doesn't feel much attachment to TianXin sect. Furthermore, he has no need for TianXin sect's alchemical techniques. If he were to let himself be controlled by TianXin sect for a useless volume of alchemical techniques, isn't that just not worth it?

Luckily Kong Wen didn't ask him swear the oath right away. Passing on the alchemical techniques is a serious matter. Even though he is one of the three highest level mages of TianXin sect, he still can't pass on the alchemical techniques to his own disciple without prior authorization. He still has to report to the higher ups and wait for the elders to discuss it before making their decision.

This lets You XiaoMo heave a sigh of relief.

"Little Seven, this is as far as Master can help you. What comes next will depend on your own efforts. Also, Master promised you the last time that if Elder brother and Second brother passed Uncle Ye's test, Master would grant you a request. This matter is now valid so have you thought about what you want?"

Kong Wen says warmly.

"Thank you Master. But I still haven't decided. Can it wait until I have decided?"

He almost forgot all about that matter.

"Yes. You can tell Master whenever you have decided."

Kong Wen nods his head.

After taking his leave from Master, You XiaoMo trots all the way back. He comes across a lot of brothers on the way. Seeing him, all of them become very excited, congratulating him one after another for passing the assessment. Some of then even slapped him forcefully on the shoulder, praising him greatly for beating the most outstanding Heaven peak disciple, Jiang Liu. All of them can't hide the joy in their hearts, especially the brothers that were mocked by Heaven peak before.

You XiaoMo rubs his nose helplessly. He didn't think that this matter would spread so quickly.

After bidding farewell to those brothers, You XiaoMo returns to his own room. He finds out that the brothers next door have not returned. Remembering that two of the brothers also passed the test, he guessed that they must be out celebrating with everyone.

Pushing open the door, You XiaoMo is just about to walk in when his steps suddenly come to a halt. He feels that there is an additional familiar scent in the room. Raising his head, he sees a figure stepping out from behind the folding screen. Dressed in a set of magnificent white robes, the man's body is slim and graceful.
