Noah's gaze stayed on the Celestial Grandmaster as he reveled in the feeling of abundance of strength, his thoughts communicating with the Planetary System as he tried to get a better understanding of just what these Fate Lines were.
[It is a source of power that is hard to quantify. Besides knowing how many Fate Lines you currently have and that they augment your strength, we cannot quantify exactly in what way.]
Numerous thoughts pa.s.sed through Noah's mind as he heard this, being pulled out of his thoughts as the Grandmaster came near him with an acknowledging expression.
"I chose you because of your talent in Aether, but not once did I expect for you to have the talent to be a being blessed with a n.o.ble Fate."
A foreign set of words were released as Noah quickly caught on and asked quizzically.
"n.o.ble Fate?"
"Yes, n.o.ble Fate. It is an indication that a being is meant to have a huge hand to play in the future, affecting the fates of many of those around them. Of course, this is only an indication and is not set in stone. There have been a few beings with n.o.ble Fates in the past who never got to fulfill them, dying early or wasting their lives away. But...those that have managed to use their n.o.ble Fate to the fullest have left behind unforgotten marks in history."
Noah's eyes shone as these words reached his ears, realizing instinctively that the explosive entrance he wanted to create in this 7th Celestial Star was more than enough!
The Grandmaster neared his position as his aged eyes stared at him up and down, s.h.i.+mmering lights pa.s.sing through them as he nodded and turned to the other talented disciples.
"This is the type of talent you should all aspire to have. Do not let this young genius's talent shadow your own, and continue working hard."
The Grandmaster nodded at the Red Robed Celestials that were still looking at Noah as if he was a monster, realization hitting them that if Noah had condensed just a few more Fate Lines, he would have directly skipped the White and Black Robes distinctions and entered the same distinction as them!
They watched on as the Grandmaster placed his hands on Noah and disappeared, turning to the disciples who still held blank eyes as they spoke.
"Ahem. Let's continue. After the condensation of fate lines…"
A discussion continued for the White Robed Disciples in the now peaceful gra.s.sland as Noah found himself disappearing and reappearing in a small monastery in an atmosphere that held an even denser concentration of Medicinal Plants than his own Spiritual Land. The monastery was located at the peak of a mountain, a few clouds being visible in the distance as a scene of peace and serenity showed itself.
"A talent like yours needs strict direction, so I will directly be acting as your teacher from now on."
The Grandmaster was walking ahead in front of him as he spoke out, an expression of remembrance on his face as he thought of another disciple that fate had pointed to as someone unique, but they had faced their death not too long ago in the First Realm of h.e.l.l. Fate was unpredictable in this manner.
But, this new disciple he was directly taking in was one that held a n.o.ble Fate, something that only one other being had shown an indication of in this 7th Celestial Star!
His aged figure walked forward as Noah followed close behind, his eyes continuing to gaze over the Medicinal Plants that held an abundant amount of essence as the Grandmaster continued, his perception noticing Noah's looks.
"Whatever resources you need will be provided to you as you embark on your path on the Supreme Law of Fate. You have just now condensed Fate Lines for the first time, and have not been taught the most proficient way of using them."
Noah followed the Grandmaster into the Monastery as he pa.s.sed through the small doors, finding his vision expanding as he actually came to see the inside was somehow much more expansive than what the outside of the monastery showed.
In this large room of the monastery, the Celestial Grandmaster turned towards Noah as he spoke with a serious voice.
"I am the 9th Ranked Grandmaster of the 7th Celestial Star, Vredral. Do you take me as your master?"
Noah looked at this aged figure whose power in no way went together with the old age he showed, his gaze becoming firm as he bowed and spoke out.
"I do!"
His affirmation received the smile of Vredral as he spoke out once more, bringing his right hand to his chest as he did so.
"Rise. In the lands of the Celestials, the greeting and signs of affirmation are done by placing your right palm to your chest, just beside your beating heart as a sign of commitment and truthfulness."
Noah's eyes shone as he saw this, nodding as he placed his palm on his left chest while looking forward. The Grandmaster nodded as he waved his hands, about to bring to light numerous Inheritance Crystals that held a mult.i.tude of skills!
"You have just learned how to condense Fate Lines, and have actually condensed more than enough to proficiently use the techniques that we have honed over the years to begin your journey on the law of fate. These techni- Oh?"
The continuing Grandmaster stopped abruptly as Noah was just about to receive numerous new skills freely, a presence nearing the monastery as a smile appeared on his face.
"It seems we must stop briefly as you get the chance to meet the only other being on this Celestial Star that holds a n.o.ble Fate similar to you, and you've actually met them before on your journey that ultimately brought you here. It's mysterious how fate works, isn't it?"
The presence of a domineering figure could be felt as a valiant aura burst forth, a being with exemplary beauty and valor appearing in the monastery that Noah and Grandmaster Vredral were in as she placed her right hand on her full chest and paid respects, her gaze landing on Noah thereafter as a surprised expression appeared on her face.
RUMBLE!
The Grandmaster looked up and pierced through the veils of the ceiling of the monastery as his gaze landed on the skies, noticing the convergence of numerous lines of fate as he smiled, many thoughts pa.s.sing through his head as two beings that had met once before with completely different statuses met once again, this time holding a similar t.i.tle!
