By the time that girl threw the Fire Punch, Ken had already disappeared. He was strolling through the main ground of the Sect.
He went straight towards Apple Mountain, which was located at the back of the Sect.
The Golden Dragon Sect was located on the Eastern Side of the Sword District of Lightning Sword Kingdom.
Lightning Sword Kingdom was established by a swordsman who reached the middle realm of cultivation.
His exact cultivation was unknown to the masses.
Some said he was only at the Spiritual Palace Realm, while others said he had reached the Heavenly Ladder Realm.
Despite what others said, the current king of the Lightning Sword Kingdom was only at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Anyone who crossed this realm would instantly leave this kingdom. It was a small kingdom, covering a few hundred thousand square kilometers of land.
In his previous life, he even considered leaving this place.
He had a sliver of hope, maybe, just maybe he could find something that would help him reach the Spiritual Palace Realm.
But the position of the Sect Leader and uncertainty due to his talent tied him down.
Thinking about it, Ken couldn't help but feel glad about his choice.
If he had left that place, Ken Grant would have bound with someone, but that someone wouldn't have been him.
At least, he didn't think he had anything that could attract Ken Grant, who was accompanied by something like the Destiny Weaving System.
While leaving towards he passed through several buildings.
The sect had several buildings, but the one truly grand building was the Sect Hall. It was nearly fifty meters tall and occupied one-fifth of the sect's main area.
This was also where every important part of the sect was kept, including the library, the sect leader and elders' rooms, the treasury, alchemist hall, weaponry hall, mission hall, and so much more.
Passing by the Sect Hall, Ken noticed a few elders. They seemed to be discussing something.
He only glanced at them and continued his journey to the back of the sect. Apple Mountain was named such because of the large number of apple trees on it.
So, it was quite visible from afar. But there was one rule about this mountain.
The rule was that no more than one apple should be plucked by a disciple per day.
This rule maintained the Apple Mountain for thousands of years.
Because Apple Mountain was just behind the Sect Hall, he would need to cross the mountain to reach behind it.
But while looking at it, he couldn't help but turn his gaze far to the East. There was a massive mountain, towering over Apple Mountain.
Fortunately, it was quite far, so not even its shadow had reached the sect.
This mountain was none other than Rigid Mountain, and the main hall in that mountain was known as Rigid Mountain Hall.
It was also called the graveyard.
He didn't care about.
He just went to the back of Apple Mountain. He looked around, didn't see anyone, and quickly found the exact location of the cave.
Originally, he didn't see anything extraordinary, but when he placed his foot exactly thirty meters right from the center, a part of the mountain opened like a door.
Gulp!
Ken heavily swallowed and entered the mountain. The door immediately closed, but there was almost no sound.
It seemed to be some kind of mechanism that was blocking the sound.
He walked further. Suddenly, several lamps on the side walls lit up. The dark hallway became much brighter.
He continued walking forward until he saw a skeleton.
Yeah! It was a skeleton, and when he saw that, Ken almost freaked out.
'Holy moly! It's an inheritance. No wait, Makim didn't show any extraordinary talent or power.'
'He just improved quite fast until he reached the peak of Foundation Establishment Realm.'
'According to the Cultivation Lore 101, if someone gets hold of a powerful treasure or ability, there is no way he wouldn't use it.'
'So, this is not an inheritance.'
Ken's eyes fell on a ring of that skeleton. He walked up to that skeleton but didn't immediately choose to pick out the ring.
'Cultivation Lore 101, there can be a residual soul in a skeleton. But Makim survived, which means this is a normal cultivator.'
'Wait! What if this is the ancestor of the sect? That would make sense why he had gotten secret techniques and resources that the Sect didn't have.'
'During my time as Sect Leader, I found that the ancestor of the Golden Dragon Sect was injured before even he opened the sect.'
'So, it would make sense that he has a powerful secret technique and resources.'
'But if that was the case, Makim's upper limit shouldn't be the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm.'
'So, he mustn't be able to properly utilize all of his techniques. Either that or I am getting paranoid.'
Thinking about it, he reached out to the skeleton and picked up the ring.
As he did that, he released his spiritual sense into the ring and checked inside it.
His mind caught several images, including information, numbers, and weight.
Techniques- Cultivation Techniques and Secret Techniques.
Arts- Martial Arts and Secret Arts.
Spiritual Stones! Hundreds of thousands of those piled up!
Except for those, there wasn't anything at all.
This stunned him.
He expected resources like pills and so on, but he only got techniques, arts, and spiritual stones.
'Hell yeah!'
Ken cheered up immediately.
Because this was an amazing loot. Hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones meant he could afford a lot of resources in the future.
He quickly understood why Makim was able to improve so quickly.
But he did have some doubts. He couldn't help but pull out two scrolls from the ring.
There were a few more, but these golden scrolls looked more amazing.
When he opened them, he was stunned. The second scroll was a technique, but the first scroll was a message.
[If you are reading this, you must be a part of Dragon Race. I am the Tenth Elder of the Fire Dragon Race who fell in this continent after I sustained fatal injuries.
I used every resource, every technique to communicate with the main clan. But I got no response. My task to search for the remains of the Ancient Dragon Sect came to a halt.
I have managed to acquire the second stage of the Ancient Dragon Transformation Technique. I got the information that the first stage fell on this continent.
I tried searching for it. But then I encountered something. They are back. The Nether Race…. They are planning on making a big comeback. I tried to stop them, but I was no match.
Running with injuries, I tried to heal, but I found no medicine that could heal me. Faced with such a situation, I tried to spread my lineage in this world, but only one child was born.
Unfortunately, that child couldn't awaken the Fire Dragon Bloodline. I hoped for the best, hoping one day, someone could inherit my dragon bloodline.
It wasn't so bad. After three generations, someone awakened Fire Dragon Body. It wasn't bloodline, but I knew they had managed to awaken my powers.
Unfortunately, my time has come. I have established the Golden Dragon Sect in honor of the Dragon Emperor, but unfortunately, I can't reveal my secret to the public.
So, I will be hiding my most important techniques in this cave. If you see this, take the information about the Nether Race to the Fire Dragon Race on the Taolin Continent.
I hope the techniques I've left for you can help you in your journey. Try to find the First Stage of the Ancient Dragon Transformation Technique so that you can practice the Second Stage.
Goodbye, Child of Wang Clan!]
When he saw this, Ken felt strange.
Yeah! That was the only word to describe his situation.
'Tell me, System, you didn't make this, right?'
[No, Host! Without your interference, Makim Koji would've found this and wouldn't have been able to read this and most of the important scrolls.]
'So, because I have somehow come here, I was able to read the information that happened to be related to the Wang Clan, which is almost extinct now, and has the Second stage of that technique.'
'It seems like too much of a coincidence to me.'
[It is what it is, Host. Or, would you not take it?]
'Hell no! I am not complaining about this. I am just surprised.'
Ken instantly put those scrolls inside the ring and put the ring inside the inventory.
But when he did that, a voice came from behind.
"What did you do? Where did you put that Space Ring?'
When Ken turned around, he was surprised to find a young man with bluish hair and eyes, wearing a similar dress to his, standing with surprise on his face.
Ken saw the young man and didn't panic. Instead, he chuckled and said.
"Makim Koji! Man, am I not surprised to see you here?"
