Chapter 163 - Soren’s Mountain

After Soren gave everyone their jobs, he took Misha, Hancock, Vados, and Ariel with him to the Saint Devil's Sect for a proper apology from their Grandmaster. With Soren and his groups cultivation, traveling a couple hundred miles took but only a few seconds, while it might take those of a lower cultivation a few minutes, all the way to a few days. Soren and his group then appeared at the bottom of a mountain, with thousands of steps leading all the way to the top, where a normal person with no cultivation "Might" see a few villa's used to house all of the servant diciples, but with Soren's cultivation, he could see all the way to the top of the mountain, where a palace was built. Soren then began to start taking the steps to the top of the mountain, but before he could even take the 3rd step, he was stopped by 2 Outer Disciples who demanded Soren show them his disciple token.

[Hold your steps!... Take another move, and we won't mind being rude]: outer disciple 1

[Oh?... And you dare to stop me from walking up this mountain?]: soren

[Yes we dare!... We are the Saint Devil's Sect! Nobody dares mess with us, or they will be seaking death… Quickly! Show us your Disciple token, and we will let you pass… Otherwise… Piss off!]: outer disciple 2

Soren was getting angry from the blatant arrogance shown by these two gate guards, he then activated his EMS, and used a Genjutsu to put the guard to sleep. Soren then took his wives, and began climbing the mountain, and after a short walk, Soren and his group made it to the servant's quarters. Soren began to walk towards another guarded gate, that lead to where all the Outer Sect Disciples would be, while passing a few kids being used as punching bags, by people who wanted to take the test to become Outer Sect Disciples, Soren paid them no attention, and just continued walking towards the gate. Soren had known he was being watched, but that was by everyone, but what stuck out, was Soren felt like a monster in sheep's clothing was also taking an eye to Soren, more specifically, his 3 wives, Soren then turned around and gave a glare that made everyone who was just watching, quickly turn away.

[Eyes off my wives… Understood?]: soren

Those were the only words Soren spoke, but the pressure in every word made everyone there feel like they were staring death in the face. Soren then continued his path towards the gate, and when the guards saw Soren, they quickly felt fear, and moved aside to let him in, and as Soren went inside, the guards took one more look at Soren, trying to memorise his every detail for later questioning. Soren had long Black hair tied up in a topknot with a Golden Dragon hairpin, he wore long White robes that contrasted to his long Black hair, the robes were tied together by a Gray cloth sash. Soren's face was considered perfect, no imperfections at all, and due to Soren's robe, they could not see his tail that was wrapped around his waist, the gates closed wit the guards going back to their duty of guarding the gate, and the second Soren left out of sight, a boy around 15 in age spoke to himself.

'So that is power?... He was able to make everyone cower by just his glare… I wonder who he is?... I wonder if I will ever get that strong… It's been 2 weeks since I came here, and I still am only being used as a punching bag, and the only Cultivation method given to us, was the Titanium Grade Demon Body, and it only has 3 levels… We were all told if we could reach level 3, we could join the Outer Sect Disciples': ???

Soren continued towards the big palace on top of the mountain, while only being stopped by a few people, but Soren took care of them with a Genjutsu, before reaching the gigantic double doors of the palace. Soren then began pushing the doors of the palace open with hardly any strain on his muscles, as this was nothing compared to the 7 test gates he had trained with as a child in the Hunter x Hunter world, Soren then began walking down what appeared to be a hallway of a giant open room, it had pillars going from the floor, all the way to the roof every 5 or so meters apart. Once Soren got close enough to the empty main seat of the hall, he began to call out for someone to meet him, and after a few shouts, guards came running in.

[Oi!... Grandmaster of the Saint Devil's Sect!... You think it's fine to let your Outer Sect Disciples come down the mountain to fool around?... Come and give me an apology… Now!]: soren

The guards began surrounding Soren, and as Soren could see by just taking a quick glance, the 8 guards surrounding him and his group were all around Pericelestial 9, and on the verge of breaking into Lower Celestial.

[What kind of apology is this?... You send some lowly trash to apologize for you?... Do you dare want to step on me as if I were mud?... I will obliterate this whole sect with my fart!]: soren

After Soren said that, the 8 guards were enraged, and began to charge Soren, but right before they could enter 3 meters of Soren and his group, a blast of energy repealed them away from him.

[Guards, stand down!]: ???

[B-But Grandmaster!... This fool dares to court death by saying he will destroy our great sect with just a mere fart!... He must be punished!]: guard 3

[I said… Stand Down!]: grandmaster

Soren then watched as the 8 guards fell to their knees from the power just in the Grandmaster's voice. And once the Grandmaster felt he made his point across, he turned his attention towards Soren and began to speak, while slightly bowing towards Soren and his group.

[I deeply apologize for their behavior… But you never told them you were a master among masters… Even I, a Greater Celestial Full Cultivation with 4 Grid Lines, can't measure Sir's cultivation]: grandmaster

[They will get off this once… But tell me… What is your name, and why have you yet to apologize on your Outer Sect Disciples actions towards me in an Inn a few hundred miles from here?]: soren

[Great Sir… My name is Dark Rock, I am the Grandmaster of Saint Devil's Sect… As for Great Sir's troubles with this one's Outer Sect Disciple's, I will personally handle this Disciple… Do you have a name of the one who offended Great Sir?]: dark rock

[Hmm… If I remember correctly, he spouted something along the lines of Yan Ye… If I am wrong, just look for a man with a missing right hand, as he had placed it on my shoulder, and refused to remove it when I asked, so I took it for myself]: soren

[That sounds like a great way to handle that situation… This one here will make sure to handle Yan Ye, and not sully Great Sir's name]: dark rock

Soren then had a smile grow on his face, as he began to leave, only to turn around and speak once more.

[Oh!... Last thing… I heard you have some lower tier Body Cultivation technique called the Titanium Grade Demon Body… I would like a copy, I have a few ideas for improvement]: soren

[Oh?... Is Great Sir interested in joining this lower Sect of mine?... It would make me the happiest in the world if Great Sir would join my Sect]: dark rock

[Don't get ahead of yourself… I might stop by every once in a while… I have taken quite an interest in a boy from your Servant's Quarters]: soren

[Who is this Servent Disciple?... I will quickly bring him into the Inner Disciples, and give him the best of the best treatment]: dark rock

[No need… He will blossom on his own… I have seen it… He will rise to the top of this world, and surpass all of those who doubt him… I will let him climb the way all by himself, so he knows the meaning of hardship, and learns to overcome adversity]: soren

[Great Sir is full of great knowledge… I will listen to Great Sir's advice then]: dark rock

Dark Rock then pulled out a book from his Storage Ring and placed it out towards Soren, Soren took the book, and left the palace, while heading back to the Inn with his group. Soren then sat down in the middle of the floor and began reading the Cultivation manual given to him by Dark Rock, after reading it Soren understood it's main principle of using the energy of an attack to temper your body, Soren then powered up his strongest punch, and hit himself in the stomach, while focusing on absorbing the attack and tempering his body.

*BOOM!*

The attack landed on Soren, and created a gaping hole in his chest, that rapidly began to fill up and close, Soren then had a hole in the brand new clothes he had purchased for this world.

[That attack was quite loud… I hope nobody comes to see what happened]: soren

Soren looked around to see the bed he was sitting on, was now covered with blood, and Soren began destroying the bed while creating a new one in its place.

'Hmm… Sakura, any changes?': soren

{DING!... HOST HAS UPGRADED HIS BODY TO DESOLATE CELESTIAL UPPER LEVEL}

'Holy Shit!... I leveled my body to Desolate Celestial with one punch?': soren

{DING!... HOST HAS THE ABILITY TO FIGHT EVENLY WITH THOSE IN THE DIVINE CELESTIAL STATES}

'You're right… I still haven't used Ultra Instinct, my base power is at Desolate Celestial, but unrestrained, and fully transformed will bring me to whole new heights… Anyway, Desolate Celestial should be good for now… Nobody in this world can harm me… I will upgrade once more, when I reach the Upper Realm': soren

Soren then began packing his stuff, and took Misha, Hancock, Vados, and Ariel with him out of the Inn, and flew a few thousand miles south, and found an open plain that was good for a house. Soren began using his powers to not just make a house, but make a whole mountain that shot into the sky, he then had stairs carved all the way to the top, where there were flat grounds for courtyards, and then another set of stairs going up to another flat ground that would hold Soren's palace. Soren then sat at the top most height of the mountain, and took out his Dragon Ball's, but realized they were stone, Soren then remembered he died, so his Dragon died as well, Soren then reimagined his Dragon, and breathed life into the Dragon Balls once more.

[Greetings Master… I am glad you see that you live once more]: kuroi

Soren was now staring at a completely Golden Dragon that was millions of meters long, Kuroi had evolved into an Ancient Dragon with all the Energy Soren provided him, thus making him just under Super Shenron in power.

[Hey Kuroi!... I'm glad to see your changes as well… But I didn't just call you to talk this time… This time I want something if you don't mind]: soren

Kuroi's eyes began to glow as if he was happy to answer his master after such a long time apart.

[State your wish… I will grant you 3 wishes that are within my power!]: kuroi

Kuroi's voice boomed out while pulling a lot of attention. Cultivators started spreading word of a Golden Dragon Millions of meters long with a booming voice offering to grant wishes, and when these rumors got to the ears of Greedy people, the direction was given out, and many set out to get their wish granted.

(Dragon Saiyan Language)[I wish for a massive well spring of energy to be directly under this mountain, and connected to the houses that I have built down in those courtyards, while I want a majority of it connected to the palace I will build here… As for my second wish, I want an Immortal Herb garden, and a Pill forge strong enough to make Immortal pills to be made by the plot I intended the garden to be made at… While my Third wish is to have a forge with a Heavenly fire as it's base, as well as Divine Water for it's tempering pool]: soren

[*Eyes Glow*... Your wish is granted!... That was a tough one Master… I will be back whenever you need to call on me… Goodbye]: kuroi

Kuroi disappeared, and the balls tried to split up, but before they could, Soren held them in place, and placed them back in his Inventory. Soren then began to overlook the newly built Pill smithery, as well as a gigantic field full of Immortal Herbs, he then looked towards the Blacksmithing shop, where he could feel the heat of the Heavenly fire that radiated within the furnace.

[I can now either turn this into an Immortal Sect, or keep it for myself as a base for friends and family… Sound fun]: soren

Soren then turned his attention towards the open land that has yet to have a palace built on it, and began using his Creation skill to build a fancy Dragon Palace, with Golden Dragons embroidered all over the exterior. Soren then began making small Dragon pillars about 2 meters in height with a Black metal basin on top with a lit fire, going down the stone steps all the way towards the bottom, Soren then began looking through the System for a special formation, and when he found it, he bought it.

{DING!... HOST HAS PURCHASED THE (Heavenly Pressure Testing Formation) FOR 5 MILLION SYSTEM POINTS}

Soren then placed the formation at the start of the mountain with a sign that gave a warning to those who trespass.

-Sign-

Those who wish to take the trial, continue forwards, the pressure will only place more strain the further you climb, good luck!.

'This should be good… Time to go get everyone else from the Inn, and we can all live here': soren
