Chapter 236: Decision

Mira, Maria, and the other disciples all stood there in silence weighing the different options in their minds. Though it wasn't really that difficult to decide. Becoming an Elder would be a huge waste of their potential, especially after they came out of the Secret Realm.

The only real choices are joining the Main Sect or becoming a rogue cultivator, something that is actually much harder to decide than the disciples initially thought. Even Mira wasn't sure what option would be the best. On the one hand, she prefers to have her freedom, but on the other hand that might slow her growth. And it's not like the Battle Maiden Sect has treated her badly, quite the contrary. The Battle Maiden Sect has treated her very well.

Even though Sect Master Jane said that the Main Sect is much more competitive, that's not really a bad thing in Mira's mind. Plus, how bad can a Sect full of women be? Okay… never mind, a Sect full of women could be pretty brutal, but Mira can't see it being worse than a normal Sect full of both men and women.

The positives in joining the Main Sect are a steady stream of resources, background, a place to stay without worry, and access to higher-tier resources. While there are others, those seem to be the main advantages of joining. Really the only negatives are exposing some of her secrets and she'll be tied to the Sect to some extent.

While the positives of being a rogue cultivator are freedom, the biggest negatives are a lack of resources, lack of background, limited information about treasures, and limited access to better resources.

Mira can totally see her killing some disciple or multiple disciples from several different Sects and being hunted down. In her opinion, the likelihood of this scenario happening is very high. Having some sort of background would definitely help prevent her from being hunted down in the open and save her some trouble.

As Mira's thoughts reached this point her decision became firm. She looked around to see if she could gather any clues about what Maria, Celaine, and the others would choose but it seemed she wasn't the only one as the 13 other disciples were also looking at each as their faces became firm.

""I'll join the Main Sect!""

All 14 disciples said at the same time, including Mira. Mira's main reason for wanting to join the Main Sect is mainly because of her secrets. She's not too afraid of them being exposed, but she's afraid of them being exposed to the wrong people. Whether it be her scythe, physique, Dao, Rhydian, Elenei, unique elements, Magma Dragon body, the Water Body Transformation Technique, her killing intent, death aura, and her beauty. Pretty much all of these are treasures that even Immortals would probably kill for or at least want to dissect her for, much less a bunch of shitty mortals.

A Sect is the best place to lay low while staying right out in the open. Her secrets will only be revealed to a select number of people while it's almost impossible for people to discover or even know about most of her secrets.

Sect Master Jane looked at everyone in slight surprise, but she wasn't shocked by their decision. Choosing to join the Main Sect has the most advantages with the least amount of disadvantages and even if they aren't strong or talented enough to enter then becoming a rogue cultivator is always there so it's not like the option will disappear.

"Very good. I figured you all would choose this option. Here are your tokens. If you have any questions feel free to ask, I'll do my best to answer them."

Sect Master Jane asked with a smile while handing over their tokens. The token was a circle about the size of a palm with a valkyrie-looking lady with a sword and shield in the middle.

The disciples took the token a put it away before they started asking questions.

"So now that our decision has been made, do we need to leave the Sect right now?"

"No, you don't have to leave right now, but the sooner you leave the better. After all, there isn't much left for you here anyways and anything that you can learn here, you can learn it and more at the Main Sect. Say goodbye to your family, settle anything you need to do before you go, just try and inform me before you leave."

"Do you know when the next Selection Test will be to join the Main Sect?"

"I'm not too sure, but I'd assume that it'll probably be held in 1-3 years. They always try to hold on not long after the Secret Realm closes. I'll let you figure out the rest."

"Do you know what the test will be like so I can prepare for it beforehand?"

"No, I don't. They change it up every time and even if I did know, I wouldn't tell you."

"I feel bad just leaving you and this Sect like this. Is it okay if I donate some of my resources to the Sect for the generations to come?"



Everyone was a little stunned by the question that was asked, but then they started thinking about how well the Sect has treated them over the years and couldn't help feeling a bit sentimental. They too also wanted to give back to the Sect even if it's only a little bit.

"Me too! I'd like to donate some resources to the Sect!"

"This place was like a family to me and I don't feel right just leaving them like this. I think it's only right for me to donate some of my resources as well."

Everyone started speaking up about donating some of their resources to the Sect. Sect Master Jane started to feel a bit overwhelmed at the fervor disciples were showing, but she let out a smile thinking:

'They truly are good girls. I hope they can make it to the Main Sect. We'll gain plenty of promising disciples.'

Maria and Celaine even spoke up about donating some of their resources to the Sect while Mira stood there in thought. It wouldn't necessarily hurt her if she donated some of her trash to the Sect. As the saying goes, 'One man's trash is another man's treasure.'. However, in her case, her trash are treasures, it's just useless to her. Not to mention she has way too much of this 'trash'.

Who knows, maybe she'll gain some good karma from this! Ahahah~ What a fucking joke! Even if she did get some good karma, it wouldn't even make a dent in how much bad karma she's accumulated!

Mira just shrugged those thoughts away and walked up to Sect Master Jane. Everyone soon became silent and some people even had cold sweat running down their backs. The Sect Master was no exception. For some reason, they were all ready for Mira to go on a rampage.

However, unlike what they expected, Mira just started unloading various items. Herbs, ores, crystals, wood, a few beast carcasses, and more. Not just that, but the grades of these items varied from Low-Human Grade to Mid-Mortal Grade. It didn't stop there as Mira continued dumping similar resources but of different elements.

After around a minute, Mira had dropped a small hill of loot in front of Sect Master Jane before walking towards Maria and Celaine.

"That was just around 10% of the trash I picked up while you two were busy. If you two want to clear out your spatial rings, only give away the stuff that's useless to us. I'll be off, Sect Master. We'll talk when it's time for us to leave."

Mira whispered to Maria and Celaine before announcing her leave to the Sect Master and leaving.

Everyone was stunned with how much stuff Mira just dropped in front of them but soon they started doing the same thing. Although they didn't have nearly as much loot as Mira, Celaine, and Maria they still had more than enough to share without hurting themselves. In total, most of the disciples only gave around 5% of their loot away and most of it was lower grade stuff that wouldn't sell for much, but with how much stuff they had, this turned out to be quite a bit. Definitely enough for the Sect to last for several years to come and if they push it, maybe even until the next opening of the Secret Realm.

This was mostly thanks to Mira, Maria, and Celaine though. They had so much stuff that it was actually doing them a favor getting rid of some of it here.

Like this, everyone left Sect Master Jane's room in high spirits, while the one with the highest spirit was the Sect Master herself.
