Chapter 165 - Strolling the City

[Great Sir… You wish to turn this Mountain into your sect?]: elder 1

[Yes I do… Why do you ask?... Is there a problem with me turning my home into a Sect?]: soren

[There is no problem… But Great Sir must know, all Sects made in the Great Yan Dynasty must be formalized, and taxed through the Great Yan Dynasty Kingdom]: elder 1

[So I will need to go to the Great Yan Dynasty to formally register my Sect… Okay then! I will head over there in a few months, but for now… Remove your barricade, and let others participate in climbing the Mountain]: soren

[We will do so right away Great Sir!]: elder 1

The Elder then turned around to the Disciples and told them to tear down all the walls used to surround Dragon Mountain. When the Disciples heard this, they felt troubled, as they had just finished erecting them just 3 days ago, and now they had to take them all down again, this felt like a torturous test used to test their loyalty.

[Don't worry about sending Disciples to tear down the walls, I will do it myself]: soren

When Soren said this, it caught the attention of the 4 Elders, they wondered what amazing technique Soren would use to get rid of all the walls, that took them almost 2 weeks to put up. Soren then released his Ki in an outburst sending hundreds of Gridline chains out from his body destroying every inch of the wall that was placed around his home, before keeping his power back inside his body. Over the past Year, Soren had been making his Energy condense down into Gridlines, and by no means was the process slow, Soren had around ten thousand Gridlines condensed, and could start working on making Martial Seeds, Soren was so proficient, it was even faster than Lin Fan's speed. Normal Greater Celestial Cultivators would have around 2-3 Gridlines condensed in their lifetime, while prodigies would condense anywhere between 5-10 Gridlines in their lifetime, Lin Fan was able to create around 300 in that 1 Year he played dead in Glory Sect, while Soren created over ten thousand in just a year. When the Elders saw all the Gridlines Soren used to destroy their wall, not even leaving a speck of dust, made them almost wet themselves, Soren was not someone to mess with, and they felt nobody in all of Xuanhuang world could harm him, they then thought about what Soren said about making a Sect, and began to feel Envy, and Jealousy towards his future Disciples, they felt anyone who came out of the Immortal Dragon Sect would be God's among men.

[Well… I will leave now… I have somewhere to be]: soren

Soren began to walk back towards the Mountain, and just before he left he turned around and gave one last piece of advice.

[You have the wrong idea about my Array Formation… It has nothing to do with Someone's Cultivation, all you need is a starting foundation to get past the first Hundred steps, and the rest are about your Mind and Body… Come on Lóngzú, let's go back]: soren

Soren and Lóngzú then went back up the mountain, while the Blue Sea Sect and it's members began to pack up to go home, while some tried to take the test a few more times. Soren then went into the palace with Lóngzú following behind him, Soren had to make adjustments to the palace for Lóngzú to fit, while still having room to fly around, he was a 100 meter long Dragon, in a palace 15 times his size, Soren then began concentrating on Condensing his Martial Seeds, while subconsciously making more Gridlines. After about 2 weeks, Soren decided to head to the Great Yan Dynasty to register his mountain as a Sect, and once he gets approved, he would come back and work on spreading news about this place being a new Sect with lots of valuable resources to attract new people to join, or rob, either or is fine, but if the second comes, they will just be robbed and sent back down, that is, if they make it up here in the first place. Soren then had Lóngzú wait for him, as it would be very distracting while walking around with a gigantic Dragon that was still an infant, in a city full of big and interesting things, Soren wanted to take Lóngzú to see the world, but right now it was to early, and Lóngzú was very impressionable.

[Lóngzú… Stay here with everyone, I will be back in a few days, or maybe a few weeks… But you have everyone else here with you, so you will be fine without me]: soren

Lóngzú nodded it's head in understandance, and Soren left Dragon Mountain while giving Sasuke some instructions on how to take care of Lóngzú.

'What a pain in the ass… I already have to take care of Max, but now I need to take care of Lóngzú?... Soren owes me big time for this one… Maybe I can get Haku to take care of Lóngzú': sasuke

Sasuke had a bad naming sense, and named his Dragon Max, it was more a Dogs name, or maybe a Cat, but for a proud Dragon Max would not cut it, but no matter what Soren said, Sasuke was sticking with the name Max, and Max did not disagree, so Max it was. Soren then took to the sky, and spread his senses over the Xuanhuang world, and found all the places with the densest most population, and picked the one closest to him, and after a few second of flying, Soren made it to the Great Yan Dynasties, Yan Kingdom.

[I wonder if Lin Fan made it here yet… It should be around this time if I remember correctly]: soren

Soren landed outside the city, and entered just like other citizens, Soren was checked at the gate for any kind of bounty, or any kind of wanted poster before he was let through. Soren then began walking around the city, while asking people where the place to register a new Sect was, and was slowly led to a high class building with a sign on the front saying "Sect Registry" on it. Soren opened the door, and entered the building, inside, the furniture looked quite nice, and expensive, the walls were a Mahogany color, as well as the floor, the furniture was more on the luxury side, having actual cotton padding the hard wooden furniture with a nice high end design on the fabric sewn onto the chairs and couches.

[Wellcome Sir… How can I help you today?]: receptionist (aka: rep)

[Yes… I am here to register a new Sect for myself]: soren

[Okay, but there are some rules… First, there is a tax that is required to keep the Sect registered, and the only way you can be exempt from this tax, is when you rank in the top 10 Sects, but you probably won't make it, so don't worry about this… Second, your sect must send in yearly reports of how many Disciples are listed. Do take note, we may send an investigator out to verify this claim, as you must have at least 10 Disciples in your Sect… Third, your Sect must have a name, and can not already be taken by another Sect registered in the Great Yan Dynasty]: rep

After hearing the rules, Soren continued to fill out the paperwork, and placed his name as the Sectmaster.

[Okay… Your Sect name will be Immortal Dragon Sect, and as of this moment you have 9 Disciples and you as the Sectmaster registering 10 individuals total… You are now an approved Sect, I just need you to pay this Years tax of 1 Million Gold, or anything of equal value, to that]: rep

Soren then thought about how much he had, and realized that he was completely broke, he could use his Creation skill to make Gold, but felt that would ruin the Economy. Soren then remembered he had taken a few Energy Crystals from the Dragon Cave, to experiment as a later date with, but never got around to it, so they had been sitting in his storage ever since.

[Will one of these work?]:soren

Soren took out an Energy Crystal around the side of a football, and placed it on the receptionists countertop, she took a look at it, and felt a strong energy emanating off of it, but still couldn't put a price on it.

[Would you please excuse me… I need help from someone of a higher power, wait right there]: rep

The women ran into the back, leaving Soren and the Crystal at the counter, and after a couple minutes, the girl had come back while being followed by a man who was a Lower Celestial High Level.

[Hello… My name is Xia Ning… I run this place… Yin Yuan here tells me you have a Magic Crystal… May I inspect it?]: xia ning

Soren just gestured for Xia Ning to inspect the Crystal on the counter, and after a good inspection, Xia Ning's face became shocked, as he asked.

[Young man… Would you mind telling me where you obtained this Crystal?]: xia ning

[That?... At my home one Dragon Mountain, the same place my Sect will be placed]: soren

Soren didn't mind telling the truth, because if anyone dared to steal from him, or try and take what is his, he wouldn't mind separating heads from bodies.

[Hmm… I suspect this Crystal was formed from an excess build up of Immortal Energy… This is even better then the Immortal Crystals mined from the mines]: xia ning

[So can I run my Sect then?]: soren

When Xia Ning heard Soren's words, he felt like laughing, he then came around the counter, and placed his hand on Soren's shoulder and began patting him while laughing a bit.

[Haha… Young man, You can have your Sect open for 10 Years without having to worry about taxes]: xia ning

Soren was surprised to see that something he had abundance of was worth so much, Soren had so much of this stuff back in the Dragon Cave, that he told the Dragons to eat it while Cultivating so they could become even stronger. Soren then got approved for his Sect, and began heading out to explore the rest of the city, Soren came across food stands, libraries that contained information on the Xuanhuang world, and many more places. Soren decided to spend a little time in the library to get more information that was never added in the book, while also condensing his Martial Seeds, Soren had one Martial Seed right now that was floating around in his mind, while one more was starting to form. Soren's first seed was a compilation of all his Martial Skill, like Swords, Fists, Daggers, Ect. while the second Seed was focusing more on all of Soren's spiritual side, Soren felt like this Seed would take the longest due to the compression of the Hollow's power. Soren then finished reading all of the books about world history, and had a better understanding about the world, they theory was, the world was split in half by God because he was angry, and half of that is true, someone with God-like powers split the world in half, but it wasn't because he was angry, Soren knew he did it to save the people of the Xuanhuang world, by not letting them ascend. Soren walked out the the library and continued walking down the street until he saw something interesting, Soren saw the academy from the Novel, the one that trains Cultivators, the Sky Heaven School, Soren then noticed a line being formed to the side with a bunch of adults lined up in front of a man with a ruler standing outside of a small hut with a curtain acting as a door. Soren knew this was the day the Sky Heaven School was looking to hire teachers to teach students, Soren didn't mind trying to recruit potential members to his Immortal Dragon Sect, and stood in line right behind a boy who looked to be around 16 or 17 in age, the boy had short Black hair, and Black eyes, his face was well defined, and stood around 182cm in height, same as Soren. The boy in question felt as if someone was staring at him, and quickly turned around to see a man who looked a bit familiar, almost as if he had seen him before, and the Boy introduced himself to Soren.

[Hello my name is Lin Fan, I would appreciate it if you don't stare at me as if I am your Friday night singer… I don't swing that way]: lin fan

Soren was completely caught off guard by Lin Fan's words, and felt that he really was just a stupid death seaker.

[I'm sorry… I have 3 wives, I don't swing that way either… But I felt we shared something in common… You have secrets too don't you]: soren

When Lin Fan heard that, he began to sweat a bit when he heard Soren say he has secrets, even though anyone you talk to has a secret, the way the man said it to Lin Fan, made him feel the need to avoid him at all costs.

[Next!]: school staff

Lin Fan realized he was called and quickly took this chance to leave Soren. Soren just chuckled inwardly while walking up to the spot the school staff member had him wait at, Soon, Lin Fan came out, and the man inside the tent spoke, telling the school staff Lin Fan passes, and to send everyone else home.

[Okay! Everyone else can leave… Sorry about your luck, maybe next time]: school staff

Soren didn't move, and instead began walking into the tent without permission, and when the Principal who was seated in the tent saw Soren he began to speak in an angered/annoyed tone.

[I said the interview is over… We already have a teacher, now leave]: principal

[Oh?... You think I would take a job from you?... You pathetic ants can't even hope to buy me… I just came to offer you the deal of a lifetime]: soren

[You dare to speak to me in such a to-... Please forgive me for not being able to see Mt. Tai… What is this deal you have spoken of]: principal

The Principal was going to curse Soren, but when the Principal tried to sense Soren's power, it was too unfathomable, and he felt he was treading on thin ice with no way back to shore.

[I will teach 3 classes, and pass on some wisdom to those that may understand it… I will not require pay, as I have no need for money, nor any kind of materials, as all the ones I can get here are trash… I just want to be able to pull any kid I take interest in, to test for my Sect… What do you say?... Want me to teach? Or not?]: soren
