Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao

================??================

Whoever would be able to obtain the inheritance of a Tier-9 Alchemist will have his or her status rise to the peak in one fell swoop.

Although none of them here had any knowledge about alchemy and neither had they practiced it in any way, no one said they could not hope to have a hidden talent for Alchemy that will let them be the chosen one.

When Arthur and the rest arrived before the door of the mansion, it opened on its own just like the gate did.

Behind the door was a marvelous hall that looked so big from the inside that you would never be able to tell it was like this if you were to judge by the size of the mansion from the outside.

'Is this an artifact?' Arthur wondered.

They entered the hall and as soon as they did, multiple beautiful lights lit up.

With the lights on, they had a clearer view of what the hall looked like and they saw a magnificent chair that looked more like a throne at the end.

Suddenly a figure appeared in the previously empty chair at the end of the hall, startling a few.

"Welcome to my secret realm, young ones."

The figure was a bit transparent and was that of a middle-aged man who wore a purple robe with golden trims. He had a small goatee and a very deep gaze, that made many dizzy just looking into his eyes.

The figure signaled with his hand for Arthur and the rest to move closer. Arthur remained at the very end of the group as he walked cautiously unlike the others who almost ran in excitement.

"Greetings, senior," Ava bowed in greeting and everyone else did the same, including Arthur.

The man nodded in approval and said, "I know what you are here for, and I have to say that I have been waiting for this moment for a long time now."

Everyone listened intently as he spoke.

"But to make things clear in case it isn't, the whole purpose for this secret realm is to find a successor for my alchemy inheritance. And in case you are wondering what level I am, just know that no one in this realm of yours is above me in the Alchemy Dao," his tone was confident with a little bit of pride.

*Gasp!*

A few people gasped in surprise.

The man said no one in the Mortal Emperor Realm is above him in the Alchemy Dao, this means that he has confirmed by himself that he really is a Tier-9 Alchemist at the very least.

Moreover, there is a chance that he might be ranked higher.

"You all can take the spiritual herbs in the garden outside, they are not important anyway. As for the important ones they will be given to whoever passes my test and becomes my successor."

The man dropped another bomb on them.

'The spiritual herbs outside are just for show?'

'They are not important? Mind you many of us those herbs have not been seen in ages and they are nothing in your eyes?'

The group could not fathom what kind of spiritual medicine would be able to arouse interest and be called 'important' by the figure. e out now," the man looked behind Arthur's group for an instant and withdrew his gaze.

"What?"

Everyone except Arthur did not understand what the man meant by his last sentence until they heard footsteps behind them.

*tap!*

The sudden sound stopped their confusing thoughts as they turned and looked behind them and saw the group of beast men walking forward, albeit a bit embarrassed for being called out.

"Beast Men? How did they get here, and when?"

Many of them showed hostile expressions the instant that they saw the beast men, while some just looked on curiously as this was the first time they were seeing members of another race.

Takye their leader ignored them and walked in front of his kin, arriving beside Arthur's group and bowed at the man on the throne, "Greetings, Senior. Please forgive us for not showing ourselves earlier."

The man flicked his wrist dismissively, "It's fine. It isn't like I did not know you were here all along and besides, I understand your intentions."

He then turned to Arthur's group, "There are two sections in the medicinal garden and each group will take one part. Now, I am aware of there hostility between both your races, but you must not fight each other in this secret realm of mine."

Although many were dissatisfied with having to share their 'loot' no one dared to show it.

Who knows if they might anger this figure and get slapped to death even if he is just a soul strand.

"I owe their ancestors a favor so it is only right that they are rewarded for the good deed of their predecessors. And besides, being very hostile to a member of another race when there is no personal enmity between you, is just being short-sighted."

Some were confused by that statement.

'Isn't their enmity between the beast men race and the human race? What is he talking about,' they wondered.

"You may not understand now but if you get to my level, you will know that there is no difference between races. Anyone can be an ally and anyone can be a foe, regardless of if they are from the same race as you or not."

The man's words penetrated deep into the hearts of both groups. This was the first time that they were hearing something like this.

All the lives they have been told about how the members of the other race are their sworn enemies and can never be trusted. f𝔯𝒆𝚎𝚠𝑒𝚋𝓃૦νℯƖ.co𝘮

Their minds are filled with how bad the members of the other race were and this has created a preconceived bias in their hearts against other races. 𝒇𝘳ℯℯ𝚠𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜ѵ𝑒𝙡.co𝑚
