Chapter 1967 Disciple Again (2)
Chapter 1967 Disciple Again (2)
To become a sword legend, Kent must go back to where it all started.
The Whispering Wind Sword Sect was his home during his second incarnation as Jest (Lord Genesis) for a while before he was forced to go on the run simply because his name appeared on the Sword Dao Tablet.
The sect protected him for a while, but he had to leave in the end since his presence there only put everyone in danger.
He returned later to save them from his enemies and to aid them in every way he could think of.
Now, he is returning to join them again, but this time, to ask for their help. Well, he had no plans to reveal himself as Lord Genesis to them just yet, but he had plans to announce his return one of these days.
Appearing before the sect gates again made him feel nostalgic.
"Ah, this brings back memories," Kent said, turning to look at Axiom, Kailan and Kol.
"Nice job, guys. You can hang around or go back if you want," Kent said to them, and they immediately chose to stay since they planned to witness what Kent had planned for this sect.
"We will hang around, Master. But we will be in the void, so you have nothing to worry about, since we will not reveal ourselves to anyone."
"I see. Have fun then."
Kent soon left them be and started walking toward the sect entrance. He is a demigod, so he expected VIP treatment this time around, unlike in the past, when he was looked down on.
However, some things never change.
Just as he arrived at the most beautiful entrance to a sect he had ever seen in his life, a powerful presence blocked his path...
"Stop right there."
Kent stopped and raised his head to look at a man clad in white robes standing in the air, his hands clasped behind his back. At first glance, he looked like an elder, but considering he was acting as a guard, Kent had a change of mind.
Safe to say, his initial assumption was right.
This man is indeed an elder who is under punishment for something he did 20 years ago. He still has 80 years to serve his punishment, so all the bitterness and resentment he felt and had harboured are now being directed at Kent.
Perhaps if he had paid much closer attention to Kent's cultivation, he would have seen that he isn't someone his Immortal King cultivation can compete with.
"What do you want here?" he asked, and Kent furrowed his brows...
"That is not a polite way to address someone, considering this place is a sect and people are expected to walk through these doors every single day."
At Kent's reply, the man sneered and even added a chuckle...
"This is the infamous Whispering Wind Sword Sect, the sect that raised Lord Genesis and made him who he became. So tell me, peasant, do you think you can come and go as you please?"
Kent widened his eyes, but before he could say anything, a fancy carriage pulled up beside him. The moment the man saw this carriage, he landed and even bowed.
"Welcome to the Whispering Wind Sword Sect, Lord Javaid."
He made a gesture, and the carriage passed.
Seeing this, Kent just smiled. "So that's how things are now, huh?" He even laughed.
Then, with a defeated sigh, he turned around and walked away. This wasn't his first time coming to this sect, so he knew there were two ways to enter.
The man watched Kent leave with a satisfied smile... "Know your place, peasant. This is not a place you can come and go as you please."
Kent heard him, and with the Soul Map, he could easily teleport inside the sect without passing through the gate. But he didn't do that, since he had come here to make some noise and send the world of swordsmen spiralling again, as he had in the past.
A few minutes after walking away, Kent arrived at a different location where thousands of people stood before a tall stairway.
This is the Infinity Stairway, the same stairway Jest had climbed before he had the chance to join the Whispering Wind Sword Sect.
'Just as lively as last time, I suppose,' Kent thought with a smile and approached the thousands gathered at the base of the Infinity Stairway.
When he drew closer, he saw that thousands had already started climbing, and every minute, many kept joining them.
"How frustrating. Even after millions of years have passed, the number of people who have managed to climb the Infinity Stairway hasn't reached ten," someone said, and Kent quickly approached them to inquire about a few things.
"I know, right? I learnt only 7 people have managed to climb it so far," Kent said, making an assumption.
"No, there are actually 9 of them. The last person to climb it is actually the current sect leader."
Kent furrowed his brow, intrigued.
Back when he joined the Whispering Wind Sword Sect, only one person had managed to climb the Infinity Stairway. He was the second, but it seemed 7 more had succeeded after him.
He patted the man on the shoulder and said, "I guess I should go try my luck. Who knows, I might just be the 10th to succeed."
The man smiled and nodded. "Good luck, fellow swordsman. Put in some good words for me if you succeed."
Kent just smiled and nodded. Then he walked away, heading straight toward the Infinity Stairway. Nobody stopped him since there was no need.
In no time, he stood before the first step with hundreds of others.
'It took me 3 weeks the last time to climb it. Today, let's see if I can make it before the day is over,' he thought with a smile and stepped onto the first step, feeling the familiar pressure in the air fall on his shoulders.
He smiled and started climbing, moving rather faster than most.
But it was still too early to judge.
Only Kent knew his speed now was the same speed he would maintain if he wished to finish this in mere hours rather than days.
