'A feast?!' Elder Tang Kong and the rest of the elders were surprised at this new development. One should know that something like this never happened in the past.

A simple inner disciples exam certainly did not merit such a huge celebration.

The same confusion mirrored on the faces of the nearby disciples but same as the sect elders, they were wise enough to keep their mouths shut in the aftermath.

"Of course I'll go. I love feasts!" Clark nodded and smiled unto the sect master. He nodded once and without ado, went on to fetch his lover Ye Xinxia.

"I hereby declare that the annual inner disciples exam is over!" Elder Tang Kong said but the action did not stop there at all. The sect master left and so did the elders.

Before long, Elder Tang Kong herself disappeared in place. And after that, a rush of bodies could be seen moving all at once.

"BANG!"

"BANG!"

"BANG!"

.

..

...

A sea of people were openly racing it out without shame. There was a stampede and this was not an overstatement at all.

"MAKE WAY!"

"THOSE STONES ARE MINE!"

"HAND THEM OVER QUICKLY!"

"MY PRECIOUS ROCKS!"

.

..

...

"Hehehe. Some people really have simple minds." Our bored gamer said while looking at the crazy figures in the arena. Ye Xinxia was worried on the other hand.

"Are those rocks truly just ordinary things, Brother Bu Fang?" Ye Xinxia asked in a mere whisper.

She was a mortal with emotions and thus, she could feel the same greed that these thousands of disciples were currently put under.

To feel otherwise now was instead the most extraordinary thing of all.

"Yup, those are nothing but ordinary stones that I just picked up casually along the way."

Clark smiled as he looked at the crazy disciples who fought with everything they had just in order to get a piece of our good gamer's leftovers.

"Come, Xia'er. We still need to pack and dress up. We have a feast to attend after all." Our good gamer led his lover out of the arena and a clear path was paved in their exit.

Every disciple knew not to get rowdy in the presence of someone this strong.

* * *

"Thank you for your guidance and care, Senior Zi Yu." Clark said in farewell. Zi Yu and the rest of his gang were there in attendance.

He did not forget how this man had shown kindness unto the real Bu Fang before his death.

Although Zi Yu was weak but that did not mean that a weak person deserves no respect whatsoever. Our bored gamer was much more mature than that.

"You can't be saying inappropriate things like that, Bu Fang."

"I should be the one calling you senior at this time!"

"Please don't forget your little brothers in the outer court, Senior Bu Fang!" Zi Yu bowed in reverence and...

"Please don't forget your little brothers in the outer court, Senior Bu Fang!" The group behind Zi Yu also followed his example. They pleaded and bowed deeply in place.

"..." Clark looked at them for a breath or two before he sighed in reply.

"Of course, I won't. If you have any difficulties in the future, you are free to see me in the inner disciples court."

Our good gamer said and knew that there would be a gap between them starting today.

He would have liked for the relationship to grow closer especially with someone as interesting as Zi Yu but alas, this was the price to pay for power.

This was not the first time he had experienced it and this will definitely not be the last.

"Thank you so much, Senior Bu Fang!" Zi Yu and company responded in happiness.

"SIGH!"

"Let's go, Xia'er." Clark sighed for the umpteenth time and then slowly made his way out of the outer disciples court and into the next level of power in the Profound Delight Sect.

* * *

Clark and Ye Xinxia approached the tall gates of the inner disciples court for the second time today but their return was a whole lot different than the first.

"Please follow us, Senior Bu Fang!" A dozen beautiful girls welcomed their arrival. They all called our good gamer as senior since the latter was much stronger than them in power.

In a cultivation world, this was of course the true basis of seniority amongst cultivators.

"Hmmm..." Clark nodded and they were led deeper into the sect and into the central part of this glorious maze of pavilions. On their way, they saw 11 huge lifelike statues.

These presented all the sect masters of the past and the present which depicted well enough of the rich 10,000 history of the Profound Delight Sect.

Although this sect has faced several tribulations but they sailed through it all and survived gracefully amidst the harsh decay of time.

"The elders are waiting for you inside, Senior Bu Fang!" The leader of the girls said once they arrived in a majestic pavilion. It stood more grander than its neighboring structures.

The great doors of this private sanctum opened up to welcome these important visitors unto its domains.

"Well... it seems like the whole gang is here." Clark smiled while Ye Xinxia was terrified beside him.

She could see that there were many more elders here than the number of old monsters that attended in the arena before.

Thus, she could only bow her head and act like a mosquito in front of these revered personalities. Our bored gamer of course did not have such discomfort.

He strode forward and was showered with praises and warm welcome along the way.

"Welcome to this feast, Inner Disciple Bu Fang!"

"Inner Disciple Bu Fang is truly a character worthy of compliment."

"You should be honored since this is the first time that the sect master has hosted a feast in the name of the inner disciples exam winner."

"Please take your seat here, our good disciple." The elders entertained our bored gamer and the latter of course obliged to this kind treatment.

"Thank you so much, Elders!" Clark replied once and took a seat at the main table. After that, it did not take long for the rest to arrive in full.
