Celia and the others never realized that someone was spying on them.
No one in Star Kingdom could see David as long as David did not show himself, let alone them.
Even some Sacred Saints could not do this.
Although he was only a Pre-Divine Partial, it was an existence that had surpassed a Sacred Saint, completely incomparable to a Saint.
The senior-level meeting had just ended in the meeting room of the Iridescent Sect. Another senior from the Iridescent Sect had just left, and only Nova was still meditating in the main seat. The current turmoil in Star Kingdom naturally affected the Iridescent Sect as well.
The purpose of this meeting was to discuss how to deal with the impending chaos in Star Kingdom. Sid leaves the TSA and Zenon becomes the new chairman of the TSA, so the impartiality of the current TSA remains only a name.
From now on, the TSA will be the Palmore family's private army.
The policies promoted by Zenon and Sid were two things that differed to the extreme.
Sid, the former chairman, pays close attention to Star Kingdom. Since he became the chairman of the TSA, he has been respected by all powerful families and powerful people.
On the contrary, Zenon was always thinking of his own interests.
The two cannot be compared at all.
After the TSA publicly announced that Zenon was the chairman of the TSA, there was a huge wave in the Star Kingdom and all the big families started to call back their troops. The Iridescent Sect was no exception.
Nova standing. He still had to go to the forbidden area and report the results of the discussion to the leading elders and ask them how the sect should anticipate this.
After he had just woken up, a voice rang out in his ear before he could make a move.
"Nova, long time no see!"
Upon hearing this voice, Nova was startled and immediately looked up. Then, he saw a young man sitting on a chair not far from him. Who else, if not David?
"David! No, T-Master David, you... When did you arrive?" Nova stuttered.
He still wanted to call David like before, but after he did that, he realized that the person in front of him was no longer the same as he used to be. He was a True Saint who could stand on equal footing with the leading elders. So, how could he call her by her first name?
Nova is not surprised by David's sudden arrival.
This was because he knew that the other party would come sooner or later. Not only was his girlfriend here, but there was also someone waiting for his rescue. Even so, Nova did not expect that day to come so soon.
"Don't call me that. It will make us look like strangers. Just call me David like before!" david said with a smile.
"No way! Strong people were always respected, it was the rule in Star Kingdom. Master David, you have reached the Saint Realm, so you should enjoy the treatment as a Saint. I dare not call you by name." explains Nova.
"It's okay! I'm not like the others. Between friends, it's too far to call me that. Over time, the distance between us will also widen. After all, you are a teacher to Celia and the others. So how am I going to explain it to them if you call me Mr David? You should've listened to me, Nova."
"B-But, it can't." Nova hesitates.
Under normal circumstances, he should be called Mr. David. However, just as David had said, with Celia and the others serving as the liaison between them, it was indeed a bit strange for him to call David that way. Of course, Nova could kill to have a good relationship with a True Saint.
"What's wrong about that? Since we are friends, we should act as friends."
"Oh...All right then! But I can only call you David personally. It would be more appropriate to call you Mr. David in public." Nova thought for a moment and said.
"That's great." David agreed.
"David, do you want to go see Celia and the others?" Nova asked.
"Yes. Right, I have to thank you for taking care of them
as long as I'm gone."
After saying that, David stood up and bowed to Nova. He was very grateful to Nova. Otherwise, he wouldn't know what to do with Celia and the others.
"No! Thats okay! David, you said we're friends and it's just a very trivial matter. Plus, I really like those girls." Nova quickly helped David up. He could not accept any sign of respect from David.
"No matter what, I still want to thank you, Nova!" urged David.
Nova did not want to continue on this topic, so she asked another question, "They should be very happy to see you!"
"I went to see them, but I didn't show my face" David replied.
"Why?" Nova's confused.
"Because I'm afraid of wasting time. I have to save Celeste first."
"David, are you going to save Elder Red now?" Nova frowned.
He didn't expect David to be so rushed. He thought it would still take time.
"David, if you want to save Elder Red, you will definitely make the leading elders hostile towards you. Are you ready?"
Nova doesn't know that David's power is now so terrifying. All he knew was David was a True Saint. He was strong, but it was still not enough to save Elder Red. After all, there were four prominent elders in the Iridescent Sect. No matter how others saw it, David would suffer losses in one-on-four battles.
"Nova, don't worry. I have my own plans" said David, not revealing his true strength.
"But what you have to deal with is not just one True Saint master, but four. Are you really sure?"
"Nova, since I dared to come, I've made enough preparations. Plus, I have also learned about the strength of the four leading elders of the Iridescent Sect. It's very important, so I can't possibly joke about it."
"That's great! I also hope Elder Red can come out soon. Living in an ice cave for a long time would have a huge impact on his character." Nova breathed a sigh of relief.
What he was most afraid of was David who was in a hurry to save Elder Red acting too rashly. If that was the case, David would end up in a tragic situation.
"Nova, let's go to the ice cave now!" David started to urge after hearing this.
"David, don't worry too much! With Elder Red's strength, he would be fine living in an ice cave for eight or even ten years. Let me tell you about the internal situation of the Iridescent Sect first, so that it will become easier for you." explains Nova.
"Nova, actually not necessary. Just take me to Celeste's place and leave the rest to me. You are the head of the Iridescent sect, so I don't want to make things difficult for you" David said.
With his current strength, he really did not need to know the internal information of the Iridescent Sect at all. He just needs to know where Celeste is and save her. If the leading elders of the Iridescent Sect dared to get in the way, he did not mind giving them a lesson.
"David, the Iridescent Sect is not as simple as you think. What the outside world knew was still too shallow. The history of the Iridescent Sect was older and longer than any other power in the Star Kingdom, and there was a huge secret hiding in the forbidden area of the sect. If you act rashly, the consequences will be very serious" Nova said seriously.
After hearing this, David still felt disgusted. 'It didn't matter whether the Iridescent Sect was ancient or not, or what great secret it was hiding. In the face of absolute power, all plots and tricks were useless.'
However, David kept saying, "But Nova, you are the head of the Iridescent Sect. If you uncover the secrets of a sect like this, you will be considered a sect traitor if word gets out."
"Let me finish it."
"Okay, Nova, tell me, I'll listen." David stopped interrupting.
"David, do you know why the Iridescent Sect has such a long history, but there are only four prominent elders as True Saint masters and not a single Pre-Saint?" Nova asked.
"I don't know!" David shook his head.
He's confused too. According to David's understanding, the other great powers in Star Kingdom had more Pre-Saint than True Saint. Usually, the greater the strength, the fewer the number of people. However, when it came to the Iridescent Sect, it seemed different.
In the entire Iridescent Sect, there were only four prominent True Saint Rank elders, and there were no Pre-Saint at all. Obviously, this is very unreasonable. Could it be that the Iridescent Sect did not have genius disciples?
Of course not!
How could no one break through the Saint Realm in a sect with such a long history and four prominent elders as mentors?
Nova continued, "Actually, according to scattered records in the secret history of the sect, at least twenty Saints have been cultivated since the founding of the Iridescent Sect, but all of these Saints disappeared without exception!"
'Lost?' David froze for a moment. Obviously he wasn't expecting this.
"How did that happen?" david asked to know.
"After breaking through the Saint Realm, one must enter the forbidden area of the sect to practice. After that they never came out again." replied Nova.
"Maybe they secluded themselves in the forbidden area. It can't be considered disappearing right?" said David.
"David, have you ever seen someone who lived in seclusion for hundreds of thousands of years in a row? The Saint who had first entered the forbidden area of the sect had not even come out for a million years, and the only ones active in the sect were only the four leading elders of the True Saint. Do you think this is normal?"
"Hmm..?" David was surprised too.
Dozens of Saints had entered the forbidden area of the Iridescent Sect, but they had never come out since then. The earliest ones were even over a million years old. Anyone will realize that this is not normal.
"Nova, have you ever been to a restricted area?" ask David.
"No, no one is allowed to enter the forbidden area unless they have permission or if they reach the Saint Realm. But no Saint ever got out of there." Nova shook his head and said.
"Nova, judging from what you said there must be something strange in the forbidden area. It was only fitting that the Iridescent Sect never had a Pre-Saint." David stunned.
"David, this is the conclusion I came to after quietly reading countless materials. Since too much time had passed, it did not attract anyone's attention anymore. I am curious, because my extremely talented Grandmaster Saint Realm never came out after he entered the forbidden area of the Sect. The reason why I became the head of the Iridescent Sect was to find out what secrets were hidden in the forbidden area. But unfortunately, I haven't found anything." sighed Nova.
He wanted to know the secrets in the forbidden area of the sect and also wanted to know if his grandmaster was still alive. All the members of the Iridescent Sect who entered the forbidden area would also bring their life plaques. Therefore, the person outside did not even know whether the person who entered was alive or dead.
David was deep in thought. Nova's words stirred up her curiosity.
'Should I send a clone to visit the forbidden area of the Iridescent Sect?
So many Saints had entered, so they couldn't possibly disappear for no reason.
'Saint had an infinite lifespan, so as long as there were no accidents, they would definitely still be alive even after a million years. Even if there was danger in the forbidden area, the clone should be able to save themselves as a Pre-Divine Partial. Even if he can't, I'll just lose one of the clones. But just in case, it would be best to wait until I save Celeste and move Celia and the others to safety. After that, I will go and explore so that it will not affect them if something happens.’
