Chapter 976: Scarlet Snow Sect 2

The battles of each of the three main prodigies ended quickly. The examiner then took Garen and the other young man and flew towards the outside of the main arena.

“Guru, you only managed to bring two people today, huh?” A bald man with a white beard who was fully dressed in white flew over from the faraway sky. Three youths followed behind him. There were two girls and a boy.

“I could say the same about you. Your gains weren’t much bigger,” said the examiner helplessly while shaking his head.

“We only get our turn after the main sects are done with their selections. This is something we can’t help,” nodded the bald old man while stroking the bushy white beard that covered his entire face. “Alright, I’ll send these people off first. Let’s go drinking at the same old place later.”

“Mmhmm, okay,” the examiner agreed. He took Garen and the other young man away before walking past the bald old man.

Garen flew off with him while being wrapped in the Energy Field. He gazed downwards while they traveled past Star Core Plaza below them quickly. Stretches of areas filled with light yellow buildings were left behind instantly.

He passed by the inn that he was staying at yesterday quickly as well as the monumental forest of famous people.

Whoosh!

A light green aircraft shuttled past the three people. It created strong winds that caused ripples to surge through the examiner’s invisible Energy Field.

The examiner was unbothered and continued flying forward. High-speed aircraft would occasionally fly past him quickly.

Soon, the long stretches of houses and buildings below them became more spaced out and dilapidated. The aircraft that were flying past them at low altitudes decreased significantly as well.

A soft crashing noise that sounded like a moving water source echoed from below.

Garen looked downwards. They had currently arrived at the top of a continuous stretch of yellow rolling mountains. Down below, a gigantic white waterfall was slowly flowing behind it.

“This is the Guana Great Falls which is one of the most famous scenic spots in Planet Naga. There are many types of creatures living inside these waters. Energy Machinists from different places who want to research natural genetic banks come here to retrieve samples. Both of you can come here next time too,” explained the examiner softly.

He pointed at the edges of the waterfall. Many tourists were currently taking pictures there. There were even a few suspended aircraft that were hanging in mid-air above the waters of the waterfall. They were trying to salvage something unknown from the there.

After passing by the waterfall, the trio entered a gigantic yellowish brown ring. It was actually a ring-shaped building that was made up of layers of circles that were stacked on top of each other. When looking down at it from above, it resembled a pile of rings of various sizes that were placed together.

A white beam of light was shooting out of the center of the ring in an eye-catching manner. It was abnormally thick and faint buzzing vibrating noises were faintly echoing from it.

“We’re here,” the examiner flew downwards and rushed into the gigantic light beam in the middle. His speed continuously increased as he kept going.

“Pay attention to your balance! This is a public teleportation light beam. Accelerate and go towards the transfer zone on your own!” He threw out the last sentence quickly as his current speed had reached an extremely fast degree.

Garen could only feel that light beam approaching him at full speed. It was getting bigger and thicker before his entire field of vision was filled with white light instantly.

Hum!!

That buzzing noise flooded his ears and made it completely impossible for him to hear any other noises. There were no sensations throughout his body either, as if he had immediately fallen into a world that had nothing but white light.

About a few seconds later, his vision brightened suddenly before a vast wild forest that was filled with vibrant and dark green shades appeared.

The earth was slightly black while the surrounding plants were lush and green. The herds of deer below them scattered and ran off in all directions because they were frightened.

In the faraway sky, a thick clump of purely white clouds were shaped like a funnel. The lowest point of the funnel that was also the sharp end at the bottom happened to be connected to the top of a white tower in the forest below.

The tower was slender and serene like a thin inclined pyramid. Black aircraft that were the size of flies revolved around it. From afar, these aircraft that were moving extremely slowly emphasized the hugeness and magnificence of the tower.

“This is the Fermium Cloud Tower. It was Scarlet Snow Sect’s most dazzling and illustrious symbol previously. However, once the sect dwindled, it lost its Cloud Circulatory System. Hence, fewer people were willing to come to come here after that,” the examiner Guru sighed.

“It’s truly magnificent…” the other young man praised sincerely.

Garen praised it as well and nodded. Although he did not know the function of the Cloud Circulatory System, it was obvious that it was an extremely important installation.

“Is the Scarlet Snow Sect inside this place?”

The examiner glanced at him and nodded impatiently.

“Just wait a little longer, we’re almost there.”

The trio floated mid-air silently. The white light beam that teleported them here was only capable of performing one-way teleportation. Hence, there were no traces of the white light beam on the place where the trip had appeared. It was clear that they would need to use other means to go back from here.

Within less than five minutes, a white streamlined Flying Ship approached them from afar. It shot out towards the front of the trio before halting quickly.

“Alright, this is the designated public transport Flying Ship. You can get on now,” said the examiner while patting Garen’s shoulder.

A little square shaped door was opened on the Flying Ship now. A White youth with a delicate and pretty face was standing in the doorway.

“Master Guru, I apologize for the troubles you had to undergo throughout your joinery while escorting these new members here.”

“It wasn’t a big deal. I made a promise to all of you and I would certainly deliver. These two are little prodigies from the Central Metropolis who can also be considered as Elites. Including the three previous ones, I have fulfilled my promise to the Elders,” nodded Guru. Unlike the incident in Nagadako, he sounded slightly more dignified and proud this time. There were also subtle changes in his manner.

“Many thanks, Master Guru,” the youth bent his waist and bowed respectfully. He wore a little pauldron on his shoulder. This piece of armor was entirely white and had sharp edges. A little red heart was painted on it as well.

Guru turned his head and nodded at Garen with a kind expression on his face.

“Alright, you can go now. He was sent by Scarlet Snow to meet you. The Core Disciples with white armor and red heart statuses are specially sent to take you to the sect’s headquarters,” his attitude was completely different while speaking to people like Garen who were prodigies that had a chance of entering the Inherited Level.

Garen nodded while a hint of shyness on his face.

“Thank you very much for your care throughout our journey, Master Guru. Would it be possible for you to leave a method of contact so that you could teach me again in the future?”

“Of course I could,” Guru smiled. He used one of his hands to pat Garen’s shoulder again before a hologram of a key appeared in his hand suddenly. He burrowed it in Garen’s chest before it disappeared without a trace. “Okay, I’ve given you a method to contact me. Work hard and keep advancing. I have very good prospects for you!”

“Yes,” responded Garen certainly and respectfully. Despite being an Inherited Level powerhouse, the other party treated him kindly. This treatment was also given to him to see his future potential. Therefore, he needed to work hard and give him a good impression on the surface at least.

While watching Guru fly away with the other young man swiftly, Garen turned around and embarked the Flying Ship while smiling at the other youth who had a delicate face.

“Hello, I’m Garen. This is my first time coming to the Scarlet Snow Sect. Senior brother, could you introduce the circumstances of the sect to me please?”

“My name is Bainster but I’m unworthy to be your senior brother,” said the youth while smiling and waving his hand. “Of course I can explain everything to you because that’s my job. You came from the Central Metropolis and were able to become Two Hearted Disciples directly. In comparison to prodigies who can compete with each other for the Star Core, One Hearted Disciples like myself are nothing, but come with me first, it’s not convenient to talk here.”

“Okay, yes.”

Both of them walked along the path inside. There were only a few people who were sitting in the seats and most of them were closing their eyes and resting in a sleepy manner. A few others who were slightly more awake evaded the gaze of the delicate looking youth slightly. They lowered their heads and did not look at him. Some of them looked at Garen instead with hints of admiration in their gazes.

Both of them walked into the front section of the Flying Ship. They entered a luxurious VIP cabin and sat down in their own seats.

Both of them were the only two people inside the entire white cabin that was the size of a hall.

The youth took out two bottles of beverages that resembled fruit juice from a machine beside him and passed one bottle to Garen.

“Although our Scarlet Snow Sect isn’t impressive in the Central Metropolis, we are still a pretty good mid-range force within the White Cloud Continent. We also have more than ten Three Hearted Disciples with the highest Cores. Oh, that’s right, the Three Hearted Disciples in our sect are all powerhouses that have entered the Resonance Levels.”

“They only become Three Hearted after they’ve achieved the Resonance Levels?” asked Garen in a slightly surprised manner.

“Yes,” nodded Bainster while smiling. He was already extremely glad to be able to get this job because this was a good chance for him to form a good relationship with the new Two Hearted Disciple prodigies in the first instance. He had paid a heavy price in exchange for this job.

“Our Scarlet Snow Sect currently has three Elders that whose rankings have never deteriorated. The strongest one is the guardian beast, Lord Labourcast. We don’t even know the grade of this old man’s true strength but we do know his level has never worsened. He’s the strongest support pillar within our sect. He’s also one of the five Inherited Level supervisors. After that, there are more than ten Three Hearted Disciples who have achieved the Resonance stage. Following them are the Two Hearted Disciples including yourself, senior brother. There are probably a few hundred of you. Next up are the One Hearted Disciples like myself of which I’m afraid there are more than a thousand. At the bottom of the pyramid are the odd-job workers, servants, and maids. There’s also a trade center for radioactive people slaves. Energy Machinists like ourselves no longer need to fear the radiation disease after achieving Level Three. Therefore, the radioactive people slave Center exists for us to select goods at valuable prices. Senior brother, you can go there and take a look later.”

“Radioactive slaves? Where do these slaves come from?” Garen’s mind trembled slightly.

“It’s rumored that there were captured from the radiation belts on other planets,” Bainster moved closer to him and lowered his voice. “I’ve heard that the larger sects have their own slave planets that are specially used to breed radioactive people.”

“Slave planets…” A thought stirred in Garen’s mind. Slave planet?! They were using the populations of entire planets to breed slaves?

Massive plans, policies, and forces like these… were simply shocking!

He had never imagined that ancient and savage practices like slavery would actually exist on such a technologically advanced planet in this era.

“There are probably more than ten thousand odd-job workers, maids, and radioactive people in total. Therefore, our Scarlet Snow Sect’s headquarters have fully occupied an entire mountain. One of these mountains has been separated into five bases. Three of the main Elders occupy one of the bases respectively while Lord Labourcast occupies one of them. The remaining base is used as the dwelling area for most of the disciples, odd-job workers, and slaves.

“Then who provides for the daily needs of the sect?” asked Garen quietly while suppressing his shock at the slave planet.

“The daily needs of the sect are sent to the hill of the mountain every day by specialized people. They will then be transported up the mountain. The food and drink will go through various safety measures. Moreover, our sect has its own group of corporations,” said Bainster softly. “Do you know the Planet Naga Space Transportation Corporation? Our sect has shares in that as well.”

The blank look on Garen’s face indicated that he was slightly disappointed. However, he fixed it quickly.

“You will discover more things when the time comes.”

The Flying Ship turned quickly. It traveled for ten minutes above the forest before quickly descending near the bottom of a large mountain on the left side of Fermium Cloud Tower.

There was a popping noise before the door of the Flying Ship was opened. After that, both Garen and Bainster walked out.

There were already people who were waiting for them at the foot of the mountain outside the forest. There were all dressed in similar white clothes with the symbol of the One Hearted Disciples on their shoulders. There was a middle-aged man at the front who had a Paul from that was silver and different from the others. He was currently smiling while looking in the direction of Garen and the other youth who were walking out of the Flying Ship’s door.
