Talent Swallowing Hero

Chapter 780 Lunar Sect

Perched atop a remote and treacherous mountain range, Lunar Peak is the heart of the Lunar Sect's true power. The peak is often shrouded in mist, and ancient records speak of its summit reaching the sky, where one can almost touch the moon itself during its zenith.

Lunar Peak serves as both a place for intense training in martial techniques and peaceful cultivation.

The Lunar Peak was not guarded by any cultivators because the entire peak had a rank 5 array where even the cultivators above the Nascent Soul Realm could not force their way into it.

It was a treasure that was left behind by the ancestor of the Lunar Sect who broke through the shackles of the Nascent Soul Realm and broke through to the realm after it.

As for what happened to him or where he went, no one knows.

Some believe that the breakthrough was not perfect and thus he didn't live for long and died whereas some cultivators believed that the ancestor of the Lunar Sect was still alive and trying to comprehend the secrets behind the Nascent Soul Realm.

Many cultivators hoped that the Lunar Sect would encounter an unsolved danger because when that happens, the answer to their question would be available.

However, the Lunar Sect is so powerful that the other countries won't dare to attack it, making those who hoped to get the answer to their question disappointed.

"Sect Leader Leo, bring Novan with you and freshen up in the guest courtyard."

Even though there was a powerful array guarding the Lunar Peak, Elder Declan had clear access to getting in and out of the Lunar Peak and Lunar Sect.

So, they easily entered the Lunar Peak before entering the Lunar Sect.

Soon, Elder Declan found someone to help Leo and Novan settle in the Guest Courtyard so that they could freshen up.

As for him, he went to inform the First Elder regarding his arrival.

"Novan, let's go."

Soon, Leo and Novan followed the outer sect disciple and entered the guest courtyard which was much better than Leo's courtyard in the sect.

'Novan, even though the Moon Essence in the sect is very pure, you should get freshened up as I have some things to give you.'

Leo indirectly said to Novan that he should not waste his time cultivating the sect right away; instead, he asked him to get freshened.

Even Leo was planning to relax until he heard from Elder Declan.

"Yes, Master."

Novan revealed a slight smile on his face as he nodded his head before entering the room on his left.

As for Leo, he entered the room on the right in the courtyard.

….

In the First Elder's Courtyard, the Core Section of the sect,

"A 19-year-old with a Gold Grade Foundation? Good. Let's inform if any elders are interested in taking him as a disciple."

The first elder nodded his head after hearing Elder Declan's words and briefly informed about Novan.

'Swoosh'

After a few moments, more than five silhouettes flashed and five peak Golden Core Realm cultivators who looked to be in their forties appeared in the hall.

"So, you five are interested in taking him as your disciple…good."

The first elder was not surprised that half of the Core Elders were interested in taking Novan as their disciple.

"You remember the rules, right? You do make the disciple take you as his master. You can use any cultivation resources to tempt him; however, you should maintain the aura of the Core Elders of the Lunar Sect."

Looking at the five elders in front of him, the First Elder asked them to go ahead and use their tricks and techniques to make Novan acknowledge them as his master.

"Yes, First Elder."

The five elders nodded their heads before going back to their residence because they wanted to bring some cultivation resources and other treasures to tempt Novan to become their disciples.

"Are you sure that the Sect Leader of that kid wants a Golden Core Pill?"

After the five elders disappeared, the First Elder asked Elder Declan regarding Leo.

"Even though he didn't say it out loud, he has been stuck at the perfect Foundation Establishment Realm for a long time and if he doesn't break through to the Golden Core Realm, he will die in a year or so."

Elder Declan was confident in the information he had collected about Leo and the Twilight Moon Sect before bringing Novan to the Lunar Sect.

"Then, there is no need to disturb the Sect Leader over this thing, You can bring a low-level…no a mid-level Golden Core Pill from the Treasure Hall and give it to him before sending him back."

For the First Elder, a mid-level Golden Core Pill was nothing when the sect got a cultivation genius. So, it was a small price that the sect was willing to pay for it.

"Mid-level Golden Core Pill?"

Elder Declan was shocked when he heard the Mid-level Golden Core Pill because it was something that he had to work hard for more than two centuries to get his hands on and now, Leo was getting it just by selling a disciple.

Nevertheless, for the current 'Him', the mid-level Golden Core Pill was useless and even if he wanted to pocket it, he would be found out easily and would be killed instantly.

"Yes, First Elder."

Soon, Elder Declan nodded his head and entered the Treasure Hall to get a mid-level Golden Core Pill.

….

In the Guest Courtyard,

"Novan, the things I wanted to give are…."

Leo and Novan got freshened up and at the same time, Leo used his [Quasi-Divine Knowledge] to check if anyone was spying on them.

Only after getting the confirmation that there were none, Leo heaved a sigh of relief before taking out the items that he had prepared for Novan.

"This is called the Golden Void Talisman. With this, you can…."

"As for this talisman, it is called the Moon Ember Talisman that makes you a Level 9 Golden Core Realm…."

First, he gave the two talismans as he explained their full use in detail along with a normal high-level rank 1 storage ring to store them.

"Since you have consolidated your cultivation at the level 1 Foundation Establishment Realm if you use this Barrier Breaking Pill, you can instantly break through three levels."

"After that, you must consolidate your cultivation for a while before using these special mid-level spirit stones that I have prepared for you. The first mid-level spirit stone will help you instantly break through a level in your cultivation."

One after another, Leo gave some things to Novan and didn't forget to give their full usage.

"For now, use this Barrier Breaking Pill and breakthrough to level 4 Foundation Establishment Realm and at the same time, use this Spiritual Essence Pill to get enlightenment."

Leo knew that they didn't have enough time and hence, he hurriedly asked Novan to consume the Barrier Breaking Pill and the Spiritual Essence Pill at the same time.

Because of Leo's plan to work well, Novan had to consume the pills together and Leo had already checked whether something bad might happen if they were consumed together and the answer he got was, that nothing would happen.

Hence, he was not worried something might happen to Novan.

"M-master"

On the other hand, Novan was shocked every time his master explained the usage of each item and looked at Leo with mixed emotions.

"Of course, I am not giving these pills to you for free. You need to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage as soon as possible. Only then, can you help me with what I want. Do you understand?"

Leo didn't hide his intentions regarding why he was willing to spend so many good things on Novan; however, Leo didn't explain why he needed Novan's help because he, himself, didn't know.

Anyway, Leo believed that even the Nascent Soul Realm's strength was not enough to complete his [Main Ascending Mission]; however, Novan would be one of many Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators he would have in the future.

Moreover, with his resources, he would help all these Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators to the peak Nascent Soul Realm in no time and even help them break through to the realm after the Nascent Soul Realm.

"Gulp"

Nodding his head, Novan hurriedly took the two pills and swallowed them in a single go.

'Swoosh'

In the next second, a powerful aura emitted from Novan's body and at the same time, a heavenly light fell on his body.

Of course, these heavenly lights could not be seen by everyone except for the Golden Core Realm Cultivator or above and even for them, they needed to be within a specific range to see.

"What's happening? An Enlightenment?"

"Someone is being enlightened by the Heavens."

"The Heavenly Light has descended on the Guest Courtyard. Let's go and stop anyone who might accidentally disturb the cultivator who was getting enlightenment."

"Let's go."

Soon, the inner sect leaders and core sect leaders rushed towards the Guest Courtyard and without wasting any time, they set up a barrier to let Novan have a peaceful enlightenment.

"Isn't he the disciples we are supposed to fight for?"

"It looks like he was the one."

"However, now, I don't think we can get a chance of taking him as our disciples."

"Did you see the first elder's eyes? They are shining from the moment he sees the heavenly light descending on that disciple."

The five core elders could not help but shake their heads in disappointment.

'Everything is going as I planned. Novan, you are doing great.'

On the other hand, Leo had a satisfied smile on his face.
