Rui stared at him with a hint of confusion. "I have no idea what you're talking about."
"I'm afraid I will have to leave it that way," the Martial Transcendent smiled. "Don't be too greedy. I have been quite generous with you, answering more questions than I really needed to. I'm satisfied with the awareness and cognizance that you have gained from my answers. Any more insights will hamper your own development and journey. It will also pollute your own perspective and interpretation of events, which will hamper your journey to Transcendent Realm."
Rui grew deeply curious about his cryptic words, but he knew that he wasn't getting any more answers from the Martial Transcendent.
He also did feel like he was getting a bit greedy.
He had never expected that the Martial Transcendent would reveal so many shocking revelations and candidly explain the truth to Rui in such a detailed manner.
"Wait."
Rui froze.
"You said... eleven colleagues?"
The Martial Transcendent tilted his head.
"Eleven colleagues?" Rui repeated himself. "There are thirteen Martial Transcendents. So, you should have said twelve colleagues, right?"
"Ah..." Realization dawned on the Martial Transcendent. "I, er, misspoke."
Rui narrowed his eyes suspiciously. "Misspoke? You said 'eleven' instead of 'twelve' by mistake?"
"Even Martial Transcendents make mistakes, dear Virodhabhasa."
"They're not even phonetically comparable," Rui stared at him with pure disbelief. "They don't even have the same number of syllables!"
"Well, I have always been a clumsy fellow, you see."
Rui didn't believe a word he said.
"Can you not do basic arithmetic?" Rui stared at him with even deeper skepticism. "Did you fail grade school or whatever they had centuries ago? How on earth did you even develop a Martial Mind if you can't count?"
The Martial Transcendent began spouting a bunch of bullshit to cover up what was clearly a slip-up, while Rui continued growing more and more suspicious.
He realized that this fellow was lying.
The Martial Transcendent's voice was calm and composed.
Rui, on the other hand, was left speechless.
Of all the shocking parts of his meeting with the Martial Transcendent, this was the most moving event. It stunned him silent.
It was a Realm of power that he couldn't even begin to fathom.
And yet, it was beyond anything he had ever experienced in his entire life. He understood in that moment that Martial Transcendents were beings who were even more unfathomable than he had ever imagined in his entire life. Within their beings, they possessed power so astronomical that even Martial Sages were rendered as mortals before such gods.
It was truly ephemeral.
"This is the power that awaits you."
Transcendent Raizel's words were measured.
"Should you reach the Transcendent Realm, you will gain answers to all the questions you see," he told Rui. "You may very well gain the power to fulfill your greatest objective and ambition. Do not halt your voyage down your Martial Path, Lord Virodhabhasa."
His smile grew soft. "For the sake of the world."
Before Rui could even respond, the Martial Transcendent blinked, and the world around him shifted.
Suddenly, he found himself at the very bottom of Mt. Virodha.
His eyes widened as he understood what had just happened.
He was too stunned to even move for a second.
"I see that your audience with His Transcendence is complete."
The voice of the Martial Pontifex reached him. Rui slowly turned, finding himself meeting the powerful gaze of the peak Martial Sage.
The Martial Pontifex's eyes widened as he recognized the Mark of the Astral Sovereign.
Instantly, the truth had dawned on him.
He immediately knelt before Rui with his head touching the ground.
"I am at your command, Lord Virodhabhasa."
