Chapter 253 - The Genius Wastrel of the Profound Astral Sect
Among magnificent mountain peaks and landscapes, one of the three Supreme Sects in the World of Cultivation proudly stood with shining grandeur and regality.
Many of the major sects made it a habit to find large and famous mountains to build their Sects on, and the founders of this Supreme Sect occupied the natural wonder that was the Steller Sky Mountains!
The surrounding lands near the abundant mountain peaks were all under the control of this powerful sect that held stupendous techniques geared towards the spatial attributes. Geniuses all over the world flocked over to this sect in order to learn their numerous intuitive ways of manipulating essence to bring wondrous effects in the space surrounding them.
A sect filled with competitiveness and spirit, where the Disciples were encouraged to be free and unbound, staying true to their hearts as they followed their path of cultivation with only a single final goal- to become the strongest!
This was the sect that held sway over 1⁄3 of all the lands in the World of Cultivation, the birthplace and congregation of geniuses, the Profound Astral Sect!
In the many mountain peaks of the Stellar Sky Mountains, there was a particularly busy one where cultivators left their lonely abodes to come down and revel in the many enjoyments provided from the wealthy peaks around Profound Astral Sect.
This peak was actually termed Sunset Paradise, with the famous lines that once the sun set, paradise with all of its wonders would open up.
In a particular establishment in Sunset Paradise, a rare confrontation was occurring between two disciples of the Profound Astral Sect. This could be considered an extremely rare occurrence as this confrontation was not between some outer or even inner disciples of the sect, this was a confrontation between two Core Disciples of the Profound Astral Sect!
Any disciple that gained the title of a Core Disciple was known to be an unmatched powerhouse, with some of them even nearing the power of some of the Elders of their sect. This was the case for one of the Core Disciples that was involved in this confrontation, vigorous power leaking out of his body which made the observers in the establishment almost turn their eyes away from the sight.
Some observers were whispering in hushed voices as they watched the unfolding show in an isolated space barrier that was erected between the two Core Disciples.
"Is the Shining Son of the Profound Astral Sect back here to pick up the dredge of waste again?"
Seeing no reply from the Crixus that just continued to drink, a dangerous light passed through William’s eyes as he turned and began moving away, dissolving the barrier of space as he knew nothing else would get across the drunken brain today.
"Even though you are a waste of space, you are still Profound Astral Sect’s waste of space. Any ridicule directed towards you is also aimed at your sect."
His vibrant power at the Saint Realm erupted out as a heavy pressure descended, his words carrying with them an insult to Crixus and a warning to the surrounding bystanders who quickly turned away and went back to their food and drinks.
The Shining Son left the establishment with light steps as his body disappeared from everyone’s sights in a blink of an eye, but his disdain for his junior disciple still very much apparent!
There was a long history between the two that caused this disdain and conflict that many people did not know, and it was this conflict that caused William to descend from his Cultivation Abode every time he heard the news of the wastrel going wild in Sunset Paradise again.
The simple conflict that was only known among a few cultivators in the Profound Astral Sect was the fact that very early on during their cultivation journeys, William had his eyes on a particular Senior Sister, and so did Crixus!
Crixus was the son of a famous Elder in the Profound Astral Sect, while William was a normal genius disciple just beginning his cultivation. To William’s dismay, he found out just a few months into his journey in the Profound Astral Sect that Crixus had used his identity to force himself on this Senior Sister, ruining her face and making her ashamed to even be seen around the sect.
This beautiful senior sister finally could not take it, and with the help of a certain Elder that did not want things to garner too much attention, she ended up leaving the sect to start anew elsewhere, her history with the Profound Astral Sect forever ending.
This event had caused a tremendous wedge to grow between William and Crixus, with William using this rage and directing it towards his cultivation, his genius comprehension being put to full use as he grew to a powerful genius of the Profound Astral Sect and gained the title of the Shining Son!
With his new title, even with the fact that Crixus had a father for an Elder, William could now look down and even act against him as he wished to some extent. This was also one of the reasons why Crixus was drinking and ruining the lives of poor women frequently nowadays, his cultivation had not been able to advance from the Transcendent Realm all these years, and the cause was none other than William.
A duel had been called forth by the Shining Son some years ago, and William used this duel to deal heavy injuries that Crixus carried to this day. Until now, with William holding a cultivation level in the Saint Realm, Crixus was still left behind at Transcendent Realm!
Crixus became despondent and acted more and more like a wastrel as the years passed, eventually gaining the title of Wastrel of the Profound Astral Sect that he held now.
He finished his last drink as rage and jealousy filled his head, looking at the direction that William left in as he left the establishment himself. Crixus did not even gaze at the bystanders who were bashing him as his drunken mind filled with rage moved out of the establishment, and his eyes landed on the red light district once again as he went forward to find a place to quell his anger.
Among the many bystanders that he was not paying attention to, a single one had a thoughtful expression on his face as he left the establishment along with Crixus, following closely behind him as their two figures disappeared among the masses on the Sunset Paradise.
