Chapter 16

Another two years has passed, and during this time I've slowly taken over Snow's job of overlooking the four sects under us.

I was sitting in my quaint little office looking through the recent reports.

There were two kinds of reports that are given to me from the four sects.

The first was the formal report, which consists of stuff like their inventory, disciple count, resource management and taxes.

Yeah we collect taxes.

The second is an informal report. It was somewhat like a letter of what the people who held power in the sects felt. And also a survey I had them do.

Things to do with satisfaction, what we could do better and the whole set of questions.

There was also a third kind of secret not really secret probably open secret report.

It's from a force I brought up myself, though it is still a little weak. Their main operation would be intelligence and assassination.

Though it's not really a dark organization since it's made of volunteers. I truly do try my best not to give the organization the whole gloom aura.

The organization's called the Shadow's Eye, but it's only like a half a decade old so there's only so much they can do.

Their report is more of the miscellaneous stuff like more disciples are attempting to sell drugs and what not.

Ah, yes drugs. Kind of a problem, not really a problem.

We all know Alchemy and their pills and whatever. Are they a drug? Definitely.

Are they as deadly? Way more deadly. Like a thunderstorm capable of destroying worlds stuffed into a small pill the diameter of your finger. Very deadly.

Are they helpful? Depends, but mostly yes.

Well, putting that aside. Alchemy is kind of like medicine drugs rather than procreative drugs.

Still, some people get addicted. Though the problem takes care of itself.

Why? Well, pills here have the totally wonderful aspect of pill poison or impurities.

Too much and your cultivation will get impacted, negatively.

Also too much and you die if your cultivation is too low.

So the problem really solves itself when the people who use it die.

After all, if the pill poison doesn't kill you, your low cultivation will.

Anyways, reading through the reports, they contained mostly normal stuff you would expect.

Hmm... there's a small irritating feeling in me though, when I read them.

A feeling I'm missing something.

Using my telekinesis I pulled the various reports of the Demonic Saint sect.

Ah.

There it is, spatial disturbance in an area not far from their HQ and over the course of a few years the wood energy has been exploding.

The recent course of action is... a seal and continued observation.

Hmm... I need to check this out myself.

Looking at the report will only tell me so much.

Though from this a few guesses can already be made.

A new realm is trying to connect to the Heaven Realm, basically where we were.

Or a secret realm is slowly opening.

Though, Swallow is returning in a few days so hopefully this won't take much time.

With a thought, a spatial tunnel opened before me and I was about to step through when a knock on the door alerted me.
