"Whoa! In all my years as part of the sect, this is the first time I've seen Madam Daniella bend over backwards to extend an invitation to someone!"
"Why did Severin refuse? His decision makes zero sense!"
"As long as he joins the Sixth Mountain, he'll become a seventh-grade alchemist in a few more years!"
"I would've agreed without hesitation if I were in his shoes!"
The onlookers felt that Severin had done a blasphemous act by turning down such a momentous opportunity. They all glared at Severin with resentment on their faces. Feeling slightly uneasy at the way that they were all looking at him, Severin was about to return to Pearl Light Isle when several streams of light flashed across the sky. Several prominent figures had shown up.
Leading them was a tall, muscular man who exuded a certain brutish character and had pronounced bronze muscles. Behind him was a man clad in simple training clothes and carrying a sword on his back. The sword seemed to embody a high-grade spiritual aura, and a terrifying presence fluctuated in the air around him.
The strong man approached Severin, but not before smiling at Daniella and saying to her, "Haha, your Sixth Mountain isn't worthy of Severin."
With that in mind, Myles's aim was nothing more than to establish friendly relations. Knowing that Severin was proficient in swordsmanship, he offered access to their Sword Tomb as a sign of goodwill.
Severin accepted the token with a smile and cupped his hands in gratitude. "Thank you very much."
The time that Severin spent in the sect allowed him to familiarize himself with the Nine Mountains. The Sword Tomb on the Seventh Mountain housed swords from the sect's ancestors, including various treasures as well as divine swords with different swordwills. Severin's Scarletsky Sword, for example, was rumored to have originated from the Sword Tomb and was only placed in the sect's Treasure Pavilion sometime later.
