Chapter 491: Return!

Of course, with the technique a success, there was the possibility of merging with the Cloud Swallowing Thunder Eel, but Sage felt it would be in poor taste to steal away the Guardian Beast of the Thundercloud Sect. It would be many times worse than Dian Huifang wanting to leave. She wasnt even a member of the Thundercloud Sect, and it was already a pain to get her to just leave the Dian Clan.

On the other hand, Sage wasnt going to miss out on a great opportunity like this. Hed already discussed things with the Eel and it was happy to help him with an egg. Also, Sage had already promised to give it a Human Seal. It wouldnt be following him, but it would help it to communicate with the Thundercloud Sect and play around in the Cultivator World in a way it never could in the past. It had seen humans doing interesting things for many thousands of years, but it could only ever watch from the sidelines. A huge electrified cloud was not an existence that could easily interact with normal humans.

Before those things could happen, there was another major matter. The eel explained that it didnt make the whole journey to the Hidden Domain itself. Instead it was more of a shuttle. The Thundercloud Sect had a Lightning aligned Transportation Array. That room full of crackling lightning pillars was precisely the eye of that formation and it was responsible for sending them most of the way. It also had many restrictions, since it could only send a powerful lightning natured creature like the Cloud Swallowing Thunder Eel, and normal Cultivators could only be taken along while under the protection of the Eel. So, the matter of the Human Seal and egg could only be dealt with after they returned.

They traveled quickly through space until they reached the return location. Then the giant eel waited patiently for a few minutes before Sage felt everything go topsy turvy again. He sensed a fluctuation in the spatial laws around him. It was far more obvious to him now that hed reached the 6th rank. The absence of sound was deafening. The crackling of the eels electrical body was suddenly silent and Sage felt uneasy with the complete silence after so many days of traveling inside an eel shaped bolt of thunder and lightning.

With a loud boom they returned to the material world and Sage found himself standing inside that same chamber hed departed from. The same three Clouds of the Thundercloud Sect were standing there waiting for them. Not wanting to delay their cooperation, Sage whispered to the Cloud Swallowing Thunder Eel and the two of them disappeared into the ground. The entrance pass that covered him in energy made it possible for the eel to carry him through space without any issue, so this chamber was also no issue. This ground and pillars of this chamber had been constructed to interact perfectly with the Eel, so it was no surprise that it could travel through them without any difficulty. It was also simply enough for it to bring Sage along. The Cloud Swallowing Thunder Eel brought him to its home, which turned out to be a pool of water covered in electrical arcs. Ñøv€l-B1n was the first platform to present this chapter.

There was a small island in the center of the pool that looked to be made out of a lodestone or a magnetic type of stone. The eel relaxed upon the stone and Sage immediately started crafting a Human Seal for it.

Heres to hoping that Manji can get the Thundercloud Sect to become formal allies with the Jade Horde, or the new Lang Clan.

After a few hours, Sages prediction came true. All that Manji had to do was show off his true form after all, and there was little that anyone could deny. Sage no longer cared so much about the Human Seal being revealed as hed already had his secret blown when the Jade Horde rebelled. While it wasnt common knowledge, the big players could find out about it with some digging into his background. Since that was the case, he may as well make use of it. Now that he could take a Human form, Manji could play a much larger role in the Thundercloud Sect. He could negotiate for much better resources for his services and use his strength to get involved in their matters. With their new bond it was also a given that Sage wouldnt want to harm the Thundercloud Sect, since that was the legacy of his good brothers closest friend.

Sage was called for an audience and the Memory Seed was retrieved by the Council of Clouds. He had to wait for a bit more time as they browsed his two years worth of memories. Of course, it was quite well edited by him already and the majority of that time was spent mining Astral Silver anyway. After reviewing the trip they had profound looks on their faces. So many strange things happened on that world, things they had heard of before, and also seen glimpses of from other trips, but Sage had lived among the Hexacrats for a while which gave them a much more in depth view of the people on that world.

Without being asked any further, Sage brought out the resources from that other world. From what theyd seen he brought out a full 75% like their deal had stated. Thankfully, theyd only made him swear an oath to not reveal details and not on the amount owed to them. The Memory Seed was supposed to keep him honest, but hed luckily found a way to cheat it.

Hed acquired about 46,000 normal-grade, 4,500 high-grade, and 1500 superior-grade Psionic Crystals. He also took along a dozen Astral Realm Fragments along with dozens of tons of Indigo Quartz and Lunarstone. His haul of Astral Silver was even greater, tens of thousands of tons had been mined over that year and a half and it was the material he planned to give the most to the Thundercloud Sect.

Sage took out 7,500 Psionic Crystals as well as a few tons of Indigo Quartz and Lunarstone. Next, he handed over 10,000 tons of Astral Silver, and 3 Astral Realm Fragments. Lastly, he brought out Gauss Rifles and other little devices and trinkets hed got from the Hexacrats and Flares. Of course, hed carefully altered his memories so that those amounts were three quarters of what hed found.
