God-Tier Providence System-Chapter 118
"You... why do you have this in your hands?"
"I obtained it by chance during a previous encounter." Alex smiled faintly.
"This junior is still a long way from the Mahayana Realm, so keeping this item is useless to me."
"Therefore, I might as well bring it out to honor Elder Loris."
Loris’s expression was somewhat complicated. "Brat, you..."
"Since you had such a wonderful treasure, why didn’t you offer it to Senior Brother Dariel earlier?"
"Senior Brother Dariel’s cultivation has been stagnant for ten years, and he dreams of breaking through to Supreme. If you had gifted him this Green Jade Immortal Fruit, he would have been overjoyed and would have definitely taken you as his direct disciple on the spot."
Alex smiled. Feeling somewhat awkward inwardly.
To tell the truth, he had only just remembered it himself.
Although he didn’t have any spirit stones on him, he carried the Providence Mall and Providence Points with him. Casually redeeming any random treasure would have been worth far more than a measly hundred thousand spirit stones.
But just now, Master Dariel’s greedy, profit-driven merchant face had truly disgusted him. So he simply hadn’t thought in that direction at all.
Now that he had already been banished to this remote Broken Sword Peak, it was naturally impossible to shamelessly crawl back and curry favor.
Left with no other choice, Alex could only put on a face full of awe-inspiring righteousness.
"This treasure is mine! To give it or not, I have the final say!"
"Whoever treats me well, I will naturally give it to them."
"But if someone tries to forcefully extort it from me, then I absolutely will not give it!"
"You brat..." Loris had a bizarre expression. After struggling internally for a moment, he sighed softly and stored the Green Jade Immortal Fruit into his storage ring.
"Originally, I could have taken you into my Radiant Sun Peak as a direct disciple."
"Unfortunately, you have now offended Senior Brother Dariel. If I were to take you in, it would cause friction between us brothers."
"Senior Brother Dariel personally ordered you dispatched to the Hidden Broken Sword Cave."
"Therefore, I can only wrong you by having you stay here on Broken Sword Peak for a while."
Alex nodded. "This disciple understands."
"How about this: endure it here for a month first." Loris said solemnly. "In a month’s time, after the assessment concludes, all Ten Great Elders will be able to freely select disciples."
"As long as your results are not dead last, I will immediately bring you into Radiant Sun Peak."
"Since this complies with sect rules, presumably Senior Brother Dariel won’t be able to say much."
Alex smiled faintly. "Many thanks for Elder Loris’s favor."
"It is getting late. Please return and rest early, Elder. This junior will go and check into the Hidden Broken Sword Cave himself."
He flicked his sleeve and turned toward the distant mountain cave.
Watching his receding back, Loris’s face revealed a look of pity. He couldn’t help but sigh softly.
"This brat is a rare, moldable talent."
"I just hope you can withstand the baleful aura of the Hidden Broken Sword Cave and not lose your sanity..."
...
Alex stood with his hands behind his back in front of the Hidden Broken Sword Cave. Looking at the cave before him, billowing with black mist and radiating severe, oppressive sword intent, a look of deep interest appeared on his face.
"What a cavern of swords!"
Relying on the mental energy of a Supreme Realm mighty powerhouse, Alex could clearly feel it. Hidden within this cave were hundreds of treasured swords graded Heaven and Earth-tier or higher, as well as the vengeful souls of over a thousand people.
Furthermore, the vast majority of these treasured swords had already been corroded by Yin energy. Accumulating darkness and condensing it into baleful aura.
If a person with low cultivation or fragile mental energy were to stay in this place, they would probably go completely mad in less than three to five days.
However, for Alex, not only did this baleful aura have absolutely zero negative effect on him... it actually felt as refreshing and comfortable as a spring breeze.
After all, the Rakshasa Water and Fire Technique and Rakshasa Soul-Extinguishing Technique that Alex cultivated both fell under the category of demonic arts. And his innate Rakshasa Abyssal Saint Body made his physique fundamentally different from ordinary people.
If ordinary cultivators encountered baleful aura, they would avoid it like the plague. Terrified of inhaling even the slightest bit.
But he could absorb it at will, effortlessly converting the baleful aura into spiritual energy for his own use.
Just as Alex was narrowing his eyes, carefully savoring this intoxicating sword intent and baleful aura, a vigorous and powerful scolding voice echoed from within the cave.
"Brat, are you new here?"
"What are you standing out there spacing out for? Hurry up and roll your ass inside!"
Hearing this voice, Alex deduced that the other party should be an expert at the early stage of Supreme.
He smiled faintly and, facing the dense baleful aura, slowly walked into the cave.
The Yin energy inside was even heavier than outside. Just standing in it was enough to make one’s entire body feel a chilling cold.
Walking deep into the cave, he saw an elder with completely white beard and hair sitting on a recliner.
Beside him rested a crooked, twisted brownish cane. He was holding a purple clay teapot, leisurely sipping tea.
The elder opened his eyelids, sized Alex up and down, and asked faintly. "What rule did you break? Who banished you here?"
"Reporting to Senior, this junior just arrived at the Divine Blade Sect and has not broken any rules." Alex answered faintly. "It was Elder Dariel who dispatched this junior here."
"Dariel?" The elder froze slightly, then let out a lazy yawn.
"It seems you accidentally provoked him, brat."
"That bastard! What does he take my place for? Stuffing any random cat or dog he finds in here with me!"
Alex stood to the side, feeling somewhat awkward. "Senior... by random cat or dog, do you mean me?"
