Gacha Sovereign Chapter 615 Sword Saint Stage?

“Why do you always make such an entrance every time you come here?” The lion let out a long sigh, looking at the Undying King with a tired expression. 

“This is the only way to make you come out of your house faster. If I need to go through the process, I will need a few hours to go through the city and yell your name.” Atlas suddenly appeared not very mysterious when he was talking with the chieftain. Unlike his usual pacifying tone, when he was speaking with Alex, the Undying King actually had a warm tone with the Chieftain, like meeting a friend. 

“Enough of that. So, what do you want? It’s not that often you come here, so you must have a reason.” The Chieftain said while narrowing his eyes before noticing two presences behind the Undying King. “And to think you have brought two people with you.”

“That’s right. I have two people with me… In fact, you are the one who actually needs to meet them.” 

“I’m the one?” The Chieftain was bewildered, looking at the Undying King with utter confusion. “What do you mean?”

Atlas nodded before moving sidewards, revealing Alex and Nelson to the Chieftain.

*Sniff!* His instinct kicked in, and smelled these two. He gasped, “A human and a…”

He didn’t know Nelson, so he tried to ignore it. “Anyway, there should be no ones like them in this place unless…”

When he said that, he frowned after noticing the reason for Atlas’s visit. “I see. They are from the outside world. Do you want to have them break the barrier?”

“That is one of the reasons since we wish to go home.” Atlas nodded.

“One of the reasons? Not a sole reason?” The words jolted his mind before observing Alex and Nelson up and down. 

“Yes. He is the promised one… The one that person informed us.” Atlas said. 

“He?” The Chieftain, once again, stunned by his words. There were two of them, while Atlas only said one. In that case, Alex would be the only person since he looked like the leader of the two. “You?!”

“I am Alexander Sirius, and he is Nelson. We want to finish the Spiritual Weapons, but after having the Undying King enhanced them with runes. We need Dragon and Phoenix blood in your possession.” Alex introduced himself and cut to the chase. 

“To the point already? Not that I dislike it though.” The Chieftain narrowed his eyes and said. “I want to believe you two, but I need to make sure you are the one. Unlike the other two, we had a stronger relationship with that guy since we are animal people while he is a half-dragon half-phoenix. When he gave us the promise, he actually said that the person would have the aura of a Dragon and a Phoenix…”

Alex’s eyebrows lifted as he recalled the technique from back then. The only technique that Teodross taught him. 

Alex took a deep breath before releasing his technique.

*Roar!*

The roar shook almost the entire tribe. Some of them were scared and hid in their home while some of them were brave enough to witness what happened. 

Albeit, before they could actually arrive to check, a huge phoenix appeared in the sky.

*Cry!*

The loud sound completely startled them as both actually released an extraordinary aura, especially when they were close.

“All of you go back!” The two loud noises were followed by a roar. The sound was very familiar, and they quickly noticed whose voice it belonged to. Without hesitation, they retreated to a deeper area and continued their activity. 

On the other hand, the Chieftain was shocked to the core, watching Alex with great interest. “I see. Having shown me something like this is already enough. I’m sorry for doubting you.”

“It’s normal to doubt a stranger.” Alex smiled as he knew how he felt. He himself wouldn’t believe it either unless he could trust the Undying King one hundred percent. 

“My name is Igor. Just like the Undead King or Undying King, or that Elder Dwarf, I’m known as a Beast King, but people call me Chieftain more.” Igor finally introduced himself.

Alex nodded.

“So, you have come for the blood…” Igor had a troubled look as he closed his eyes. 

“Chieftain, why do you have that look?” Atlas said with a slightly higher tone, noticing the problem he might have.

“Because there is trouble.” Igor let out a long sigh. “Good news. It is safe.”

“And the bad news?”

“It’s too safe that I can’t even touch it.” Igor fell into silence after uttering those words. He was ashamed to tell it.

“What do you mean?”

“You know that my grandfather… The first generation of Chieftains want to try to break out of this place, right?” 

“Indeed. He is the one with the highest talent and believes he can reach God Stage.” Atlas nodded, remembering such a person who wanted to forcefully break the mortal limit to shatter this realm. “However, he used that method to go beyond his limit. I only have the strength of 9-Star Martial Saint.”

“Yes. The problem is my grandfather actually died back then.” 

“I am aware.”

“The blood was with my grandfather, and my father went to retrieve it. My grandfather, who used that technique, lost his soul, not his body. And that body became an empty vessel that would fight anyone that came nearby, and it killed my father and sealed his soul in that body.” Igor looked down, ashamed. 

“So you are saying, the blood is still in your grandfather’s Spatial Ring?” Atlas said with slight anger.

“Yes. To get that ring, you need to kill my grandfather again… In other words, you need to burn my grandfather’s body to ashes.” Igor said the reason.

“Ridiculous! Why did you not inform me? He wasn’t an idiot who would bring something like that to his tribulation, especially when it had a huge chance of failure.” Atlas released his aura to show his anger.

“You didn’t know one thing.” Igor shook his head. “That blood was the reason why he dared to use the Sacrifice Method and force his way to the God Rank. Just cultivating around that blood and basking on its aura would increase one’s cultivation speed. This is only for our tribe, so there is no need to inform you.”

“So you are saying… he knew about it but still brought the blood to increase the success chance?” Atlas’s energy slowly diminished as he slowly calmed down after knowing the reason. 

“Yeah. This was the only reason why my grandfather brought it.” Igor nodded.

“Our problem remains the same, even with knowing the reason. That is to bring the blood back for him.” Atlas raised his hand before pointing his finger at Alex. “I have promised him the blood, so I would give him the blood.” 

“This is also a blunder on our part… So, I will also help you.” Igor paused for a moment and looked at Kai with sincere expression. “I apologize for this trouble. But I hope you can forgive me.”

“…” Alex didn’t know what to answer. On one hand, he was disappointed that the problem escalated into something like this. On the other hand, he somehow wanted to know how a Martial Saint would fight.

“Talking about something like this is better in your tent.” Atlas wanted to change the place to calm their heads down.

“You are right. Follow me.” Igor nodded and floated to the air before turning around and flew forward. 

Atlas and Alex exchanged looks and followed him. 

On the way, Alex observed the entire city with great interest. There was one absolute thing that piqued his interest. It was how these people resemble humans with animal parts. They absolutely looked like those cat people or dog people on the television.

The girls especially looked very cute as they had a similar appearance to Sherry and the others. He wondered if the people from Earth came here, they might be overjoyed and treated this as Heaven. 

Alex shook his head helplessly. Although he wanted to react about them like how he found Earthquake or Tsunami in this world, or even the Japanese Names and other similar names, he couldn’t. Atlas would look at him with weird eyes and think of him as an idiot. Besides, watching these people, the Undead, and the dwarf, Alex was wondering what he would find when he traveled to many worlds. 

“I wonder if Firia or Alicia have seen other races like this?” Alex muttered to himself.

Not long after, they arrived at Igor’s house. Unlike many tents in his surroundings, only Igor’s house was different. It was made out of sandstones and carefully shaped like a desert house. The yellowish sandstone made it look bright. If he observed carefully, the windows were covered with clothes instead of glasses like in Undead or Dwarf territories. 

Alex looked at this thirty meters wide house that looked like a mansion with great interest. Unfortunately, he couldn’t observe it any longer because Igor invited him in. “Please come in.”

Atlas stretched his hand, telling him to go first.

Alex nodded and walked inside an entrance without a door. His eyes widened when he found a fairly lagged white sword as a decoration of the house. The sword itself was bigger than Leoz’s sword, but he somehow could picture the Chieftain using the sword. With his two and a half meters body, it was a perfect fit to use this sword.

His suspicion was confirmed when Igor said, “This is my sword, Great Baku la Teeth. Don’t mind the name.”

Alex nodded. 

“Since you also use Sword, what is your sword rank?”

“I’m only a Sword Emperor,” Alex answered honestly. 

“I see.” Igor glanced at Alex’s expression and asked, “How far have you reached in this path and how close you are from the Sword Saint Stage?”

“Sword Saint Stage…” Alex looked away for a second. 

Igor lifted his eyebrows and asked. “You don’t know what kind of stage this Sword Saint Stage is?” 

Alex looked down, a little ashamed. He had no teacher that he could ask this whole time. Even when he tried to reach Sword Grandmaster and unlock his domain, he only learned it by observing other people. He was lucky to have Mithra show him the way to reach Sword King while he got bad luck when he encountered the requirement of a Sword Emperor from the first elder of the Joyful Union Sect.

“I see. Then how about I teach you the requirements? Treat it as an apology from me.” Igor smiled gently. He paused for a moment to gather his thoughts and said. “The Sword Saint Stage has one requirement. It’s to form your own path.”

“To form my own path?” Alex tilted his head in confusion.

“Ah. I should reword it. You should find your own path. A path that is unique to only yours.”

“I will give you an example. Watch this.” Igor said while walking toward a couch before sitting on it. Have you seen it?” Igor asked.

His action didn’t have any specialness within it. However, Alex actually felt a Sword Intent in every action he made. “This is a Sword Intent?” But there is something wrong with this Sword Intent… It’s like they are different. They have beastly aura…”

“I’m the beast king.” Igor’s answer was as simple as that. “After finding your own path, every action you take will generate your unique Sword Intent. You can’t actually turn it off, but you can tone it down. This is an unorthodox technique, and I will teach you about it.”

After listening to his words, Alex activated his Spirit Eyes and looked back.

*Gasp!* 

He saw Sword Intent in every step Igor actually took. Alex realized that it was toned down nicely to make others not feel it.
