Chapter 1124: Plot 2

Garen and the rest sat in the rest area arranged. They were separated from the surrounding medium and small-sized sect. There were people specifically assigned to serve various beverages and fruits.
Although any discussion about him was unheard of, he could tell from the glances he received from these sect personages from time to time that they were quietly transmitting, communicating on the Scarlet Snow Alliance matter.
The Scarlet Snow Sect was considered a fierce major sect within in spaceship after all.
To develop at such a pace within a short time frame with the sudden emergence of bountiful experts had many spies prying intel. A rumor about the Scarlet Snow Sect obtaining some sort of treasure to raise its capabilities was also leaked from their internal affairs.
It was also unavoidable for Garen and the rest and despite his efforts to seal the news, this intel still made its way out.
Sensing the hidden sizing stare from around, Garen and his group minded their own business. They kept to reading and drinking while most of them rested with their eyes closed.
Hong Guo, White Night and Prism Light could not keep to themselves. They got up to engage with other sects.
Alice saw an old friend and went forth to have a conversation.
Truth be told, Garen was clear that the Scarlet Snow Alliance already has the resources and capability of a major sect. It was not completely exposed under the sun so everyone thought that there were only the Level 8 experts trios, Ice-Grand, Ice-Crack and Ice-Ocean as the face of the sect. Although their influences had risen, it was not too massive.
This time, they were counting on bagging one that lacked in skill. For one thing, it was to push the Scarlet Snow Sect to a new edge; and another, it was to get to the bottom of the scheme and plot for the Energy Machinist in order to finally snatch the Energy Machinist’s best masterpiece — the Combo and that would be ideal.
The Combo was having all Energy Machinists of the three major Energy Machinist metropolis to combine their energies. Each of them would scatter a bit of their free energy and focus them together to pour onto the champion of the competition.
The competition wasn’t between the experts within the sect but rather between disciples so this step could potentially shrink the discrepancy of cultivation length between talents and genius disciples from various sects.
It was the fastest accumulation to enter Level 8.
As normally the highest level would be the Non-Failing Level in competitions, there was not once a participating disciple that reached Level 8. The Non-Failing Level was the top in the completion, any higher would require a few hundred or thousand years of accumulation and ability to grasp.
It wasn’t just anyone that could achieve the Realm of Board after all.
The spaceship quickly entered Planet Naga and halted at a vast expanse grassland. A white snowy mountain could be seen afar from the nearby grassland.
The spaceship projected a light beam, transporting groups wave by wave.
There were assigned anti-gravity vehicles beneath operating transportation.
Once Garen and the rest gotten down, the first thing that caught their eye was the gorgeous golden anti-gravity vehicle.
Opening the door, a few young men dressed in gold were waiting in the automobile.
“The Sect Master has ordered me to welcome our fellow Scarlet Snow Alliance. Please!” A young lady smiled and said, carrying a tone of respect.
“The pleasure’s mine,” Garen knew that she was an expert from the Bone Metal Sect sent by the two-faced person. As one of the fifteen major sects, the Bone Metal Sect built a solid base. They have six Level 9 experts, over ten Level 8 experts but none on Level 10. Once the two-faced person marked his return and upgraded to Level 10, it gave a surge of confidence to the sect. The Bone Metal Sect finally met the requisite to battle a seat at Holy Lord level of force. They possessed hope to become the fourth Great Holy Lord level sect.
The disciples would naturally attach great importance to the orders of the current new sect master in hopes of leaving a good impression to the friends of the sect master.
Moreover, rumor has it that it was the treasure of the Scarlet Snow Alliance that aided the two-faced person to increase a level. If this were the case, then this Scarlet Snow Alliance really had quite a banking value!
Thinking about this, the disciples in charge of the reception revered in deeper respect.
The group sat in the vehicle and the door slowly shut tight under the envious glances of surrounding Energy Machinists and Mech Pilots.
The vehicle sent by the Bone Metal Sect, resembling a large frisbee, fired towards the faraway plain.
“We will be depending on you in this competition,” Garen sat in the vehicle and in front of him were the three genius sent by the Snow Scarlet.
Hong Guo, White Night and Prism Light.
These three met with the participating conditions that were no more than a hundred fifty years of joining the sect. Hong Guo somehow or rather inherited a teacher ancestor’s soul and energy, erupting his potential that could match with an Inherited Level expert. White Night has a solid Gideon Body. Although he wasn’t as good as Hong Guo, he excelled at the speed of light and presently resonated the Full-Moon Level.
As for Prism Light, Garen could not see through this little fellow. He could only sense that there was another powerful soul hidden within him. Moreover, he carried a peculiar constitution. Garen brought him to participate in this competition in order to size him up.
Although he was already at Level 10, it was not the pure Level 10 of this world after all. He couldn’t transform into a black hole nor could he link to the inverse space for relentless endurance. It was pure explosive force for him to reach the Level 10. He had the power of destruction but not the endurance.
No matter how terrifying the engulfing ability of his Hellfrost Peacock technique was, he could not beat the endless endurance of those Level Ten Perpetual Motioners. Garen knew that his advantage was to operate in the dark.
Utilising the distorted seeds to create more Level Ten Holy Lords to manipulate and reel into the alliance was the crucial key to expand influence.
Although there were only three Level Ten Holy Lords among the Energy Machinists, the number of Level 9 experts were not in the red. Those in the open and in the dark would have at least fifty in number. If he could just place a parasite in this bunch of people…
“Please do not worry, Sect Master. I will put forth my best effort to advance and gain a good name for our sect!” White Night responded solemnly with a hint of indifference.
“We will do our utmost. Please do not worry, Sect Master,” the same words from Prism Light’s mouth came out less solemn and leaned towards listlessness in comparison.
“Come what may. If I could I would. If I couldn’t then there’s nothing I can do,” Hong Guo was honest and always at ease. He hasn’t been that attached to the Scarlet Snow Sect before due to matters concerning Rainy. It was only when he started gaining attention of many and received major changes from upgrading that he forged ties to stay and joined the Scarlet Snow. He came because he thought well of Garen. Little One and Little Two who were taking care of his sister were people of Garen yet he allowed the duo to remain by him.
He had thought of Little One and Little Two as family from the days spent together. And for this, he would too put his best efforts to place in the competition for the Scarlet Snow Sect.
So although he was most light-hearted amongst the trio, his determination was the highest.
Moreover, in the inherited soul, it bore a recognition towards the Scarlet Snow Sect so if he were to compete, he would definitely put in his all.
“It’s a shame. My position has decided that I will not be participating the competition but staying on the sidelines. I really wanted to take part myself,” Garen sighed with remorse.
“For you to get up on stage, wouldn’t that leave other sects no chance of survival?” Osho Ice-Ocean shook his head and joked for the very first time.
“If Sect Master were to participate then it would be bullying the little ones. There really isn’t much to watch and everyone can just announce who is the winner,” Ice-Grand snickered.
“So this time the hope of our Scarlet Snow is on you three,” Garen returned to seriousness. “You may be up against Non-Failing Levels and once you do, immediately surrender and do not attempt to delay.”
“Understood,” White Night responded to heart. The remaining two nodded as well.
Garen took out three items. It was the shape of three little ice cubes.
“This is a little something I coughed up. It could erect an absolute ice wall at critical times, blocking off any fatal strikes. Do not use it unless it is critical. It exerted great effort to create this thing and it is for single use,” production tools materials to sustain such powerful energy were rare. The extent of its rarity would see major sects having only one or two of these. Moreover, it deemed useless after a single use.
It is destined that participants would not be winning the competition solely on high impact tools made by the powerful.
Garen did not hand over his distorted seed to the trio. The use of the distorted seed was better on a more solid foundation. If he were to offer them use, the most they would upgrade to would be the Inherited Level, which meant nothing to the Scarlet Snow Sect.
Once the trio received the item, Garen started to whisper important details to them. Having the advantage of memory, he could describe the points for attention exhaustively.
The vehicle reached its destination in a jiffy. It was a grand hotel in the City of Nagadako.
There was already a group of people staying there as vehicles were parked outside.
The group from the Scarlet Snow Sect exited the vehicle and entered the hotel. They swiftly settled in.
Garen returned to his individual room and opened up the Energy Machine Imprint, beginning his communication with the remaining alliance guardians.
Going through over a decade of repeated encryption, a communication channel was quickly established.
The miniature projection of over twenty people reflected in Garen’s retina, each of them occupying a tiny section.
“Alliance Leader, have you arrived?” One of the five Level 9 guardians asked.
“Uh huh, which of you have arrived as I am now at the Waysooner Hotel in the city of Nagadako,” answered Garen.
“Following the plan, we have already invited our fellow friends to join and organize a meetup. It’s starting to take shape at the other side,” a mummy of the three Level 9 Peak lowered his voice.
“I have received an invitation from a Level 9 Peak expert here and asking about the treasure. I am leading him on,” another female Level 9 Peak smiled.
“Be careful not to let anyone spot a flaw,” the last was also a Level 9 Peak. He was a white-maned wizened old man. There were layers and layers of wrinkles on his skin that looked terrifying as though his entire skin sagged, separating completely from its muscle.
“Relax, do you still need to remember this little detail after having lived for a few thousand years?” The woman casually remarked.
“Dare you not call for me an emergency call? Alliance Leader, are you being a stranger?” A sharp voice suddenly cut in the conversation. The projection of the two-faced person abruptly pushed away the vast projections of Level 8 Guardians, occupying a large section.
“I have received the invitation of three Great Holy Lords. Hehe, and another nine formal apprenticeship correspondence. These are all from various sect expert elders at Level 9 Peak.”
“All nine of them!?” Garen’s face laid hidden under the helmet with his expression not in sight but a sense of anxiousness from his tone revealed his current mood.
“Of course. I plan to discuss the price with them,” the two-faced person pulled a scratchy laugh. “This treasure comes with responsibility. It can’t be taken without any sacrifice. Anyone would be worried for anything to go wrong so a sufficiently heavy price is key!”
“That’s true,” Garen nodded. “Transport the resources directly to the Scarlet Snow headquarters. I’m not sure if you could contact the other Holy Children, it’s best if they’re Level 9 Peaks.”
“Holy Children… Doable,” The two-faced person was hesitant but nodded. “But for me to proactively head up would be suspicious. I will make my own arrangements so you need not ask more.”
Although he hosted the distorted seed, his mind and body were not affected. Even though there was an increase in his energy, the distorted seed could not completely manipulate the host but could link the energy increase with the parent body, nothing more. So it wouldn’t be wrong to say that it was a harmless alternation.
Although the host would automatically protect the parent body, it could not entirely be enslaved. Losing independence or even disobeying the instructions of the parent body was likely as long as it did not involve hurting the parent body.
