Nightin got Lancelot to wait for him at the side as he finalised the details about the plantation garden with Green. After a brief discussion with Green,he headed to find Lancelot who was waiting for him at the side.
Nightin looked at Lancelot and paused for a short while before asking "So Lancelot,what is that you want to request for permission for?
Lancelot took out his spear as he smiled towards it before raising his head to look at Nightin. "Sect master, I"m sure that you still remember what I said when first entered the sect. Today, I hereby request for permission to leave the sect to fulfill the promise that I"ve made to myself."
Nightin looked at Lancelot, various emotions could be seen in his eyes. Is it the sadness that his great disciple leaving? Is it the gladness that his great disciple has grown enough to do what he wants? Or is it the joy that his sect has made it this far with the help of his great disciple?
"Lancelot,are you sure about this? You should know that your current strength is far from enough to defeat the leader of the White Ravens who is a Martial Lord." Nightin wanted to be sure of Lancelot"s choice and answer,this could very well determinate his life and death.
Lancelot exhaled deeply as he said once again with much more confidence "I Lancelot, hereby request for permission to leave the sect to fulfill the promise that I"ve made to myself!" Lancelot said this while stabbing his spear deeply into the ground with as much strength as he could muster,the tiles below him broke apart as lines of cracks appeared. Lancelot was no longer the young boy who needed guidance for everything. He"s now able to face the cruelness of the world and take things into his own stride. He"s no longer the youth who gets excited just because of some slight improvement in his cultivation.
Nightin closed his eyes while taking out a token as he pa.s.sed it over to Lancelot while instructing "Take this,if you ever need help,just shatter the token. I"ll make it there immediately no matter where I am at that point of time."
Lancelot was touched as he got down on his knees and said "Thank you sect master for granting this selfish request of mine!"
Nightin looked at Lancelot as he supported him up while saying "What fo you think you are doing? As a man,you should only kneel to your parents,even the heavens shouldn"t make you bend your knees and kneel to anyone." Nightin this said very slowly,in a very soft voice which only Lancelot could hear.
Lancelot stood up as he said "You"re my only family member right now. Ever since the day you became my master, I"ve treated you as my father and this will stay true for life."
Lancelot plucked his spear out from the ground as he turned around with his back facing Nightin. "I"ll be back."
After Lancelot left, many of his core and legacy disciples decided to leave as well. One by one,they approached him and asked for permission. After a few core disciples asked,he decided to give all disciples the freedom to leave the sect if needed. However,the legacy disciples still decided to let him know,all of them only made it this far thanks to Nightin"s help.
As for Abby, she decided to join Alexander on the battlefield. Adding on another great force into Alexander"s main army.
As for Little Black and Ray, they"ve decided to return to their hometowns to visit their loved ones while exploring the outside world. Before they left,Nightin told both of them this "If you guys want to,you guys can bring your family members back into the sect. Let everyone know too before you leave as well."
The two of them nodded before das.h.i.+ng off into the outside world while letting a few outer disciples who are still in the sect to spread the message.
With these,majority of the disciples decided to leave the sect as they venture into the outside world,to experience the true cultivation world.
Out of all the legacy disciples,the only one who actually stayed behind was Ayden. Out of curiosity,Nightin went to look for Ayden who was still training under that waterfall. Based on Nightin"s estimation,Ayden was already training under the immense pressure of five thousand kilograms which can be compared to the full attack of the average low grade Martial Lords.
Nightin walked up to the waterfall as he called Ayden who was training under it to meet him "Hey Ayden, what"s the reason for you staying behind? If you stay behind,your growth would be much slower than the other legacy disciples and it would be a great waste of your body const.i.tution."
Ayden stood under the waterfall as his face twitched from the pain,the only thing keeping him standing right now is his resilience. "The only reason I"m staying behind is only because of this waterfall, I"m only withstanding a small fraction of its force."
After that Ayden talked to Nightin about his reason for staying behind which greatly shocked him. From what Ayden had said,this waterfall isn"t just simply water,but pure water which actually weighs ten times more than the usual drop of water.
Also,the waterfall which they see now on the exterior is merely the beginning,the stronger and taller waterfalls are all inside. The further Ayden ventured in while avoiding the waterfall that time,the stronger the water essence were. Ayden had a feeling that if he were to stay behind,the waterfall would not only help him train his body,but also help him cultivate the law of water,directly skipping past the intent stage.
Even though the law of water may only be one of the basic laws,its potential is unlimited. It"s a natural element of this world,to a cultivator,underestimating the forces of nature would be the most foolish mistake they can ever made.
With that,Nightin left the area as he headed back to the sect. Looking at the few disciples who stayed behind due to various reasons,he realised that he needs to get stronger. If he"s too weak,how can he protect the sect? How can he defend his disciples in the case of great danger?
Making a deep resolution,he decided to leave the sect as well,only informing Isabella who was still cultivating in her residence. Looking at Isabella"s mountain,he started to ascend the stairs made of simple stone while looking at the surroundings.
Isabella"s mountain was decorated with many trees and flowers,which made Nightin think of someone. Isabella actually has the same hobby as Charlotte,what a small world it is. Walking towards her residence,many beautiful flowers could be seen with roses making up most of them. The scarlet red from the roses seemed to blend in well with the surroundings,giving the whole place a more vibrant feeling. It may seem excessive,yet it seems simple at the same time with the perfect ratio between them.
Nightin walked up to Isabella"s residence as he knocked on the door. Shortly after,the sound of the door opening could be heard as Isabella appeared at the door while holding a scroll in hand.
Isabella placed the scroll back into her spatial ring which was carved as a simple yet exquisite sapphire blue gem on her bow. Placing her hands behind her head,she started to tie her hair into a ponytail while asking "What are you doing here at my doorstep all of a sudden?"
Nightin was about to reply until he saw Isabella who was tying her hair having her chest actually raised up facing him. Taking a deep gulp and turning his face away while stepping back,he told her "I just wanted to tell you that I"ll be leaving the sect for a period of time as well." Before Isabella could reply,Nightin had already left as he dashed down the mountain and left the sect.
Isabella chuckled at this sight as she thought to herself "He"s still a young boy after all. I wonder what the other disciples would think if they know about this,haha."
In the end,Nightin is still a young boy who has yet to seen a woman before. Even though he always tells his disciples to stay calm,this is the one moment which they might actually do much better than him.
