Chapter 327 - White Robed Celestial Disciple

As Noah observed the behemoth of a planet in front of him, he unexpectedly did not find his heartbeat increasing nor did he feel any sense of nervousness. He looked at his fingers to see if he could find even a semblance of trembling, but he was extremely stable!

This was confidence! Utter and complete confidence in the abilities he had prepared in advance, and utter confidence in himself to be able to make the best out of this huge opportunity!

He rose as he came to full attention, nearing the 7th Celestial Star as the Void Crystal he held blinked even more rapidly, a reaction occurring from the shimmering star in front of him a ray of golden light shot out and struck the vessel he was on.

RUMBLE!

The numerous vessels surrounding the Celestial Star only stared at this newly appearing ship briefly before they returned to their own posts, only observing as the golden light that attached itself to this small ship pulled it towards the planet slowly until it smoothly passed the golden barrier that covered its entirety.

Noah continued to expand his senses as he observed everything around him, not being able to explain this golden light that attached itself to his small ship and was pulling him towards an unknown location on this star!

He pierced through the stratosphere and accelerated down even faster, soon piercing through the veil of clouds as a resplendent scene opened itself up in front of his eyes. Beyond the layer of clouds, he could see expansive and mystical landscapes that screamed power and serenity as he observed numerous mountains and valleys palpating with dense essence.

The overabundance of essence was not the only thing that one could feel, as the more time he spent in this Celestial Star, the more he could feel a convergence of another force he had come in contact with a few times before- fate!

It gave one an oppressive feeling that seemed to say whatever power you held, fate would always be above it!

Noah continued to let his aura explore the new world around him as on the mystical landscapes that held their own unique environments, he could see numerous unique structures that could be considered shrines and monasteries, along with expansive dome-shaped buildings that were spread out all around.

The golden light was pulling him ever so closer to an expansive rectangular building that held an expansive clearance where the ship he was on soon came to a stop, the golden light that was pulling him forward disappearing.

The clearance he had landed in was filled with happily swaying grass as a scene of peace and serenity showed itself, Noah expanding what should be his Saint Realm aura to observe the massive energy signatures of multiple beings in the paradisical clearing, as well the huge rectangular monastery that was at the center of this expansive clearing between tall mountains.

There was a wide rushing river not too far away from the position he was at, the waters extremely clear to observe as colorful fish could be seen floating within.

The door of his ship opened as Noah stepped out, letting his eyes land on this paradisiacal scene of majesty as he waved his hands and stored the ship into a separate space.

His wandering gaze met the auras he had sensed on this wide clearing, finding himself facing numerous figures dressed in white robes that were accompanied by a few powerful figures dressed in black robes. Many of the beings clad in white robes held auras that showed their strength at the Transcendent Realm, with a few standing stably at the Saint Realm!

The few dressed in black robes were all at the Void Realm, and Noah observed the figures of 2 beings encased in red robes that held a vibrant aura at the Soul Forging Realm!

Above all of these beings was a single old man that he had met once before, the same Celestial Grandmaster that had invited him to join the ranks of the Celestials not too long ago!

This Celestial Grandmaster was adorned in a golden robe as he was surrounded by the numerous white robed disciples, a few black robed disciples, and 2 that wore shining red robes all paying close attention to him. His gaze turned to the appearing Noah as he gave a light smile and spoke.

"As foretold by fate, the last one to join us has arrived. Not too early, not too late. Just in time, and we can begin with the introductions."

His voice was clear as it resounded across the wide clearing they were in, many new faces turning to look at Noah as he came closer and bowed.

"Grandmaster!"

He called out as he judged the situation around him, seeing the faces of the numerous white robed disciples that were most likely in the same position as him look towards him with complacent gazes.

SNAP!

He saw the fingers of the old man snap as a white robe appeared in front of his eyes, along with a shining storage ring that held numerous things as he used his essence to bind the ring and wrap the robe around his body. The Celestial Grandmaster nodded as this action was complete, continuing.

"The others have gotten here some time earlier and have thus become slightly more familiarized, but the core teachings will start now as you join us."

Noah nodded as he came forward, glancing at the other white robbed disciples that ranged from various races, with many of them mostly humans. He ignored the looks he was receiving for now as he moved closer and joined their ranks, the Celestial Grandmaster speaking once more.

"For the basic introductions, all of the newly appearing Celestial Disciples will be distinguished by the white robes they wear, with those who distinguished themselves and rose in power being able to receive the black robes, and once you become full fledged Celestials, obtain the red robes."

"As you have all noticed, the robes do not hold any sort of special defenses or power, and are simply there for distinction as you pave your way towards higher levels of power."

The Grandmaster spoke to the faces around him, many of them already knowing this information, with Noah being the only one receiving it now. The Grandmaster looked at the white robed disciples as he continued.

"Many of you have been recruited across the vast stars because of the unique talents and skills you have shown, with some of you even personally chosen by me."

A few happy faces could be seen as this was mentioned, the speaker paying no heed as more information was divulged.

"What I can tell you now is that we are honest and straightforward here, rewarding those that excel, while those that lag behind will gradually being forgotten in the dredges of time. We create champions that are able to stand for Order and Balance, but all of these champions begin at the same place you are all in, so have faith!"

Many of the white robed disciples remained with their strong expressions as they heard these words, believing utmost in their genius that had managed to catch the eyes of the Celestials and have them invited to be here in the first place.

"In this Celestial Star, you will learn a source of power that reigns the strongest, and you will learn how to properly utilize this power as even the genius feats you made before will all be left in the dust."

Vibrant gold light shone from the Grandmaster as he finished these words, waving his hands as the entire scenery around them changed, a brand new atmosphere appearing around them as they saw numerous golden rivers moving past them, with sparkling stars occupying their sights as it felt like they weren't just standing on a mountainous clearance just now!

It was a magnificent scene of a fantastical environment where one could observe numerous rivers of gold passing around them with numerous stars hanging all around to complete the picture.

The Celestial Grandmaster clenched his fist as they observed a small golden river pulled towards him, his eyes sparkling with a grand light as his voice resounded once more.

"We must start you off with a strong base and knowledge, so we shall start with something that is extremely simple, yet also the most complex. We will start by talking about Fate."

…!

A shimmering scene of wonder began playing itself out in front of Noah as he intruded on the 7th Celestial Star, receiving lessons the moment he arrived as it seemed they were just waiting for him!
