577  Choosing A Mountain Abode...

"Here, young master Zeras. This here contains the map of the outer sect areas, and places that are forbidden are properly marked, including the areas that are well within my control.

You are allowed to waltz through the territories of other outer sect lords, but I will refrain from doing that if I were you.

It is safer to choose a mountain abode in the area that is well within my territory. I would be able to protect you by the laws of the sects..."

"You make a clever point," Zeras replied as he grabbed the wrapped map from his hands, his eyes shining with a light.

 "To avoid too much trouble, and for me to have a higher chance at being a proper tutor. Please, do not cause too much trouble. I don't want to be in your sister's bad name, and let her have wrong ideas about me when she comes knocking.

You promise to make me pass her test brilliantly, don't you?" Kenji asked as Zeras snorted in pride.

"Put your faith in me, Kenji. You will have your wish soon. Very soon..." he said, and like a true young master, Kenji walked with pride, puffing his chest out, his back straighter than a pine tree, and with his two hands hung beside him in pride.

 He waltzed out of the door, not even remembering to close it once more, and quickly disappeared down the lane.

"Hehe. Your brother is now well within my grasp, Undying Master. Soon, you'll be mine too. Finally, are the heavens now turning their good eyes towards me?" Kenji said with a smirk as he exerted a small blast of energy, causing the door to zip closed once more.

Through the long winding paths of the outer sect area, where countless other males, and a very little amount of females could be seen, was a long silver-white-haired boy, who had his map widened in front of him, his thoughtful eyes scanning its content.

"Hmm, so the outer sect disciples all live in caves, huh? That truly is very interesting. And the territory under the control of Kenji ends in a three minutes' walk from now. Also, the mountains that have been chosen will exude a golden glow, while those that are not or are abandoned will exude no glow at all. Interesting, interesting..."

He mumbled continuously as he walked, and even though all his attention was visibly on the map, he was able to easily avoid knocking into others, and also avoid those who wanted to knock into him and cause him trouble, the only explanation being they were all jealous of his handsome face.

"I need a mountain abode..." Zeras mused as he looked at the gigantic gate, which was in the far distance. He could guess that was where another outer sect's lord territory area begins.

"So I have to choose one of these?" Zeras mused, looking at the array of mountains before him, and he shifted away from the path as he began walking on the grassy valleys, slithering around the various mountains.

"If I want an abode, I want one that is higher than the others, making it closer to starlight, and one that is a little distance away from the others, to avoid getting too much attention, and permit me longer time to properly cultivate..." Khan mused as he continued walking around the mountains which were still in the territory of Kenji.

He noticed the more he walked into the thicker forest, the fewer the mountains that were taken.

After walking around for 5 hours away from the path, he finally arrived before a mountain abode. It was a jagged and dark mountain, with a size that was about twice the size of the tallest mountain that he had recorded on his path.

The grassy land around it had long turned into a thick forest, filled with the chirpings of small wildlife and insects, indicating its status as abandoned.

Walking to the back of it, what Zeras beheld was a floating stream that meandered just past the mountain, continuing towards the distance. He could even see fishes jumping around the water surface and diving back into the water.

"Sufficiently high, around three hours' walk from the next occupied mountain abode, and with a stream full of fishes behind it. The presence of this wildlife means it is not accursed, or they wouldn't be here. Safe and quiet, well away from the eyes of others.

Yes, this is the place..." Zeras said with a satisfied smile as he walked towards the mountain abode.

Placing his hands on its jagged surface, he rubbed around it, and quickly he was able to locate its door. Zeras pushed hard on the area that he felt was different and not rocky, but wooden instead.

"GRRRRRRRRRRRH." Clenching his teeth tightly, veins bulged on Zeras' hands as he pushed with all his strength, the door slowly opening inch by inch. After 3 minutes of relentless pushing, Zeras managed to finally push the mountain door open as he entered into it.

BAAAAAAAAANG.

Less than 3 seconds after he entered, the door shut back with a powerful noise as Zeras felt a small chill run down his spine, knowing well he would have given half of his life to the door if it had caught him in its grasp.

 But now that he turned towards the door, he swiped over its surface, clearing away the dust, and only now did Zeras notice something strange.

"The door is not wooden, but actually glass?" he mused in shock, his voice echoing within the cave. Just who made such a type of heavy glass, and how come one of the mountain abodes was made of a glass door instead of the regular wooden door that he had seen all the way here?

"Strange..." Zeras mused before turning his attention back to the cave. But it really couldn't be called so, and it seemed more a spacious room than normal.

"A perfect case of never judge a book by its cover..."
