"A Divine Stage Cultivator saying he doesn't have the 'authority' to do something…
Why would the Strongests not have the authority to do whatever they wish, that doesn't make sense.
Does that mean… There are people stronger than Divine Stage Cultivators in Yrniel?
Beings above the Divine Stage?"
Nux questioned as he looked into Orpheus's eyes.
Orpheus, however, just smiled wryly,
"Nux, don't put me in a difficult position, I cannot answer this question either."
"You aren't really being helpful, Lord Orpheus," Nux commented.
"Trust me, you can use this favor in a lot better ways than this. Getting answers to those questions is completely meaningless to the current you." Orpheus replied.
"Alright then, just answer this one question, and I won't ask any more questions,"
"Will I face people stronger than Divine Stage Cultivators any time soon?"
"That is a strange question, you can barely face a Great Sage right now, Nux. Stop thinking about pointless things."
"I will be forming a Clan soon, Lord Orpheus, and I have learned a thing or two about how the Clans work. My clan will be facing many clans in the future, and from those clans, some clans would have absurdly powerful beings overlooking everything.
That is what I want to question,
Is there a chance where I have to face people above the Divine Stage while I fight all those clans?
Or in other words, are there any clans in Yrniel that have beings who are above Divine Stage?"
"Rest assured. The Divine Stage is the strongest stage one can reach. You will not face anyone above the Divine Stage. Even the Vampire Royal Family, one of the 3 strongest Families in the world, only has a Peak Divine Stage Cultivator holding the fort."
Orpheus replied in his usual, emotionless tone.
Nux glanced at Orpheus's face with a meaningful look on his face.
Orpheus may have only said a few things, however, in truth, he gave him many clues. His answers were never… 'definite', they seemed… abstract…
And for the current Nux, this was enough…
"So as long as I have the ability to fool a Divine Stage Cultivator, I should be alright, correct?"
Suddenly, Nux questioned.
And hearing his absurd question, Orpheus blinked a few times before finally reacting.
Nux glanced at Orpheus with a mysterious smile on his face and then,
Orpheus's eyes widened in surprise.
He couldn't sense it anymore…
No… it was not just his Cultivation…
He couldn't sense Nux's entire existence!
That man was standing right in front of him and he still couldn't sense him…
If Nux sneaks behind him, even he wouldn't be able to sense him...
Orpheus didn't know how to react, many possible scenarios played out in his mind, however, in the end, he just sighed.
"You are full of surprises."
Nux smiled a little, "I will take that as a compliment."
"You need to be careful, Nux. I am sure you know this already, but let me warn you just in case, don't go around showing off your abilities to everyone. Power blinds people, the current you is strong, however, the secrets you hold are enough for even a Divine Stage Cultivator to make a move. If beings like them come after you, you wouldn't be able to resist. So try to remain lowkey until you are strong enough."
"Then should I be careful around you as well?" Nux questioned with a playful smile on his face.
"You wouldn't have been alive to ask that question if that was the case." Orpheus, however, wasn't playing around, he was dead serious right now.
"You got lucky with me, however, as I said, stay lowkey."
"I understand, Lord Orpheus, I know that the secrets I hold can induce greed inside even the purest of beings. I am very careful about it, that was the reason I asked for your help. With this, I know the limits of my ability." Nux nodded with a serious look on his face.
"Your ability to Conceal yourself is strong, I agree," Orpheus commented. "Not only that, even your ability to sense your surroundings, your stronger-than-normal Spells, and those strange abilities of yours…
I have never seen anything like it before…
It is as if you follow a completely different power system than the rest of us do."
"I sometimes feel the same as well." Nux nodded as well.
His *Essence*, it was completely different than any cultivation techniques in Yrniel. With Eisheth's permission, he had even read some 11 Star Cultivation Techniques back when he was in Lust State, however, even those techniques didn't get close to the complexity of *Essence*.
"I am really curious about your background, Nux."
Orpheus commented as he glanced at Nux with a meaningful look on his face.
"I am just a normal Orphan who came from the Forgotten Continent."
"Forgotten Continent huh…"
Orpheus muttered with a strange look on his face.
Of course, he completely ignore the 'normal orphan' part, 'orphan' was still believable, however, it was irrelevant, as for 'normal',
Did he even have to mention it?
"Anyways, I thank you for your guidance. I will remember your words by heart and will implement them to improve further." Nux replied as he returned back to the state where others could 'sense' him.
"I did not particularly do anything, I am still open for a favor, Nux. Ask for one when you still have the chance."
"I will be saving this chance, the feeling of a Divine Stage Cultivator owing me a favor is quite reassuring. I will only use it when I really need it." Nux smiled.
"You are going to establish a clan, Nux. Are you sure you don't want to call in for a favor right now? If you use it efficiently, your clan would be far ahead of any other clans."
"I would be a fool to use a favor for something like that.
I am sure the Heir of the Bloodheart House has enough authority to grant me what I want."
Hearing those words, a curious smile appeared on Orpheus's face.
"Ahh, you did say you were going to target Lazarus. I am looking forward to what are you going to do, Nux.
Just know that I will not help you when you deal with him. If you require my help, you need to call in that favor."
"Lazarus is outside." Orpheus decided to help Nux a little.
Nux, however, just chuckled,
