Chapter 220 - Karmic Sect
Thoughts came and went in Noah's mind as he left the [Sheath Regalia] to continue charging in the Time Space and he prepared to move out.
"Exactly what did you get your hands on, little fish?"
The voluptuous Barbatos was carefully staring at the object as she floated in the air and asked. The heat in Noah's hand shone in a colorful light that would draw in the eyes of any that were near. Noah replied as he calmed down from the excitement at the thought of the powerful treasure.
"Just a direction of what we're doing next, come on."
Their figures disappeared from the Spiritual Land as they reappeared amongst the trees of the Rainbow Spirit Mountain. Noah spread his awareness out as information continued to come in through the unique skill, {Observant}.
He was surprised to find that not too far from where they were hidden amongst the trees, two cultivators with blank eyes and white robes that were staring straight at them. They held powerful strength at the Phantasmal level as their gazes focused on them and they began to walk over. Barbatos huffed as she felt their purposeful gazes, her body beginning to crackle with a pulse of red light when Noah placed his hands on her shoulder and stopped her.
The two Cultivators that had somehow been waiting for them walked forward as they bowed towards Noah.
"Master Osmont, our Sect Master sent us to get you the moment he felt your arrival."
Noah was spectacularly surprised at the beings he wanted to get in touch with to contact him right away as he recalled the words of Sect Master Inuit when he gifted him with the item on his neck, [Lawful Nourishment]. The Sect Master had mentioned that he had attached inscriptions that will let him know whenever he begins his journey in the World of Cultivation.
He nodded towards the disciples from the Karmic Sect as he reigned in Barbatos.
"Lead the way."
Rainbow Spirit Mountain was large with many snaking paths as powerful beings moved back and forth. They followed the lead of the two disciples of the Karmic Sect as they descended down further until they were out of the boundaries of the mountain.
Noah was observing the sights around them with great interest as he took in the mystical air of the World of Cultivation that seemed to have expansive essence and color all around.
Their figures moved at a high speed until they were a significant distance from Rainbow Spirit Mountain when one of the disciples from the Karmic Sect stopped and pulled out a sparkling crystal of light, crushing it between his fingers and stepping back as the light from the crystal expanded to form the outline of a door.
OONG
The hazy door grew larger until it was wide enough for them to go through, and Noah followed their lead as they all stepped in. The moment their figures passed through the door, only a second passed before it became unstable and disappeared as if it was never there.

The sight in front of Noah was one he had only seen in memories as he stared at multiple mountain peaks where the divisions of the Karmic Sect were situated. They appeared on a larger mountain peak that was at the center and surrounded by four other peaks that each held their own exquisite style of architecture.
Each of the peaks had misty clouds surrounding them as occasional yells could be heard on the peak they were on. In a wide field nearby, cultivators could be seen practicing against one another, causing loud sounds like that of metal colliding to ring out.
"We're currently on the Main Peak where the Sect Master and the Elders reside. The other peaks you see around you are known as Pill Mountain, Armament Hall, Martial Hall, and the Bestiary."
Noah nodded with interest as they walked up the central peak towards a grandiose building that exuded tranquility and peace. They passed through the wide doors and into a large hall that was surrounded by stone statues on all sides. The statues looked particularly lifelike as Noah observed them, showing exquisite detail he hadn't come across before.
Soon after they entered into a wide room that was the picture of serenity. Thin white lines were freely flowing in the room as a being sat at the very center with his eyes closed. Lines of white light would occasionally erupt from him as they flew out to regions unknown. The instant they entered, the eyes of Sect Master Inuit flew open as the mysterious lines of light died down around them.
"You've made it, Noah Osmont, and with a guest at that."
A sagely voice rang out as Sect Master Inuit came forward and spoke. The two disciples that brought them in bowed as they left, leaving behind Noah and Barbatos in the wide room.
Hearing the words, Noah let out a small smile as he looked towards Barbatos and sent a mental message. The demoness looked towards Sect Master Inuit in discontentment as she disappeared in a flash of silver light, sent back into the Spiritual Land.
"I came across something interesting just hours at my arrival here."
Noah sat down as the Sect Master beckoned for him to sit. He waved his hands as an ancient tea set appeared between them, an aroma of something wondrous spreading out as two cups were poured. Sect Master Inuit nodded his head as spoke.
"My intuition tells me it should be the issue of a certain Time Path Cultivator."
Inuit sipped the tea with contentment as he spoke words that surprised Noah once more. He knew he might be able to find more information on how to locate the counterpart of the treasure he held from this mysterious Sect Master, he didn't think it would be so easy.
"What do you know about this Devilish Time Unveiler?"
Noah asked in anticipation as a wondrous story flowed out of Sect Master Inuit's mouth. He was shocked to find out that the being he only obtained brief memories of had actually fallen from that event which caused the weapon he carried to split apart, and that the location of his death was about to come to light once more.
He recalled the Treasure Abodes that resided in dangerous Realms hidden throughout the World of Cultivation as he continued to listen to the Sect Master in front of him.
"I've seen that you will take on this venture, but I have to tell you now that it will be extremely perilous for you, especially with the current level of strength you hold. I could barely approximate when the coordinates of the Treasure Abode would appear, and you still have some time. I would love to see your rapid rise in strength before you head out, and have a hand to play in it as well."
The Sect Master smiled as he waved his hands, a small table holding a single thick book appearing in front of them. Noah's gaze landed on this book as he thought about his current level of power. A rapid rise in strength? That was the one thing that he excelled in!
