The Story Never Ends

Time passed by, two days before the Conference,

Davion came two hours earlier to the lecture hall as usual. But today, he was radiating strange energy from his body.

Thaddeus was sitting in his usual place with his eyes closed. Sensing Davion coming, he opened his eyes.

But when he saw Davion, he couldn't react for a while. He eyed him for a long time and finally asked in disbelief, "Did you just break through?"

"Yes, Sect Master, I just reached the Qi refining state. But it's a little unstable." Davion replied and some dark energy started gathering outside of his body.

"You..."

"It is indeed the sign of the Qi refining state." Thaddeus was really shocked. It's not even been two months since Davion has joined the sect. But now, he has already reached the Qi refining state.

Before he could continue, Davion said, "Sect Master, I also want to participate in the Conference."

"Eh!, but you have just reached the Qi refining state and your Qi is unstable now. Even if you have good fighting skills, the battle between Qi refining cultivators depends upon the use of secret arts. And you still haven't learned any of it. Let alone master it." Thaddeus sighed.

Today, he wanted to give the heritage that he had always treasured to Davion and send him far away. But who could have thought that he had already broken through the Qi refining state? Not only that, he came up with a strange request.

"But Sect Master, I want to go to the Conference and see the young talents of other sects. Not only that, we have only two disciples participating from our sect. I heard from Isla that a sect has at least three disciples participating. Since we have only two disciples participating, it will be a disadvantage to us. Maybe I can make a difference and help us raise our rank? And it might also broaden my horizon." Davion tried to persuade him.

Thaddeus looked at his disciple who was persuading him. He couldn't find any reasons to reject him. So, he finally gave up.

"Ok, you can go. But you have to do a task for me after the Conference."

Davion smiled and said, "Thank you, Sect Master. You can depend upon me."

Thaddeus took out a space ring from his robe. But it looked very different from the one Davion had. There were more complex patterns on it and it looked much heavier. He passed the ring to Davion and seriously said, "You can only open this after the Conference ends. Then you will know your task."

"The disciple understands." Davion looked solemn.

Thaddeus looked at Davion and said, "You must be always wondering why I was always teaching you strange symbols and characters, don't you?"

Davion nodded his head.

Thaddeus smiled and started chanting some strange words and a small crack was seen above him. Seeing this Davion used his Mind-Eye and immediately felt a familiar breath coming from it. The breath looked similar to the one in the pool.

From the crack, a strange creature popped out. It looked like a little girl and had two wings. It was brown in color and looked like it was made of clay.

"This creature is really similar to the ones that I used to see deep into the pool." Davion thought inside but outside he showed a surprised expression.

Seeing the surprised expression from Davion, Thaddeus felt really satisfied. He explained, "This is a devil. Thousands of years ago, we used to be a middle-grade sect that had a huge influence. But due to a calamity, our sect got destroyed. Although I don't know much about it, I do know that this calamity was due to these devils."

"The strange characters and symbols that I taught you every day are the language used by the devils. Our sect used to study those devils and invented many spiritual arts depending on them. The one I showed you just now is the last remaining heritage of our sect. This art allows you to summon a devil and it will always be loyal to you."

"Sect Master, so where do these devils come from?" Davion asked the question he really wanted to know.

"I also don't know much about it. But I heard that they might have come from a different world."

After saying this, Thaddeus didn't want to talk much about it. So, he just waved his hands and the devil turned into smoke and disappeared.

Davion nodded his head but his mind was thinking about other things. "It looks like there are other worlds too."

Thaddeus took out a dark yellow scroll from his ring. The scroll was tattered and torn. It was the same scroll he had taken out previously.

He passed it to Davion and said, "This is the Devil Summoning Art, the secret lineage of our sect. I am now passing it to you. Only open this after the Conference ends."

"I understand." Davion bowed his head.

"Today, I will explain to you the final symbol remaining in the Devil Language.. Only by knowing all, can you understand this Art."
