Rean nodded before pulling Hage to a corner with less movement. Heres the deal. My brother here and I are starting a new sect, and we need people to join. Their age, talents, and backgrounds arent an issue. However, if you join, you wont be able to leave the sect for a while unless you decide to quit the sect altogether.

A sect? Hage was taken aback to hear that. That doesnt make sense. Why would you ask someone like me to join then? With your strength, Im pretty sure you can get some better members, even if these members wont be able to leave.

Rean then pulled out a Soul Binding Contract in response. Obviously, it was the new version that couldnt be rejected. Read it and see if you want to join or not. This is a Soul Binding Contract.

Although Hage didnt have a good level of cultivation, he at least knew what a Soul Binding Contract was. As one could imagine, he became even more suspicious after reading the contents. It was just too vague, even if it could keep the secret. Sigh whatever. Lets see what kind of crazy place Im getting into. Here goes one of my lifes last bets.

He quickly signed the contract, which burned down before a seal was put on his soul. Seeing that, Rean touched Hages shoulder and said, Dont resist.

Hage was puzzled about what he shouldnt resist, but he relaxed his body and let Rean do what he intended. For a moment, his vision blurred as the scenery around him changed completely. The next time he saw anything, he was already inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.

[Finally, an adult!] Sister Orb was ecstatic seeing Hage there.

Hage, obviously, was completely lost. A talking orb?

Sister Orb ignored his words as she quickly used the Dimensional Realm to pull Hage over. Well, to be more specific, she pulled Hage to where Luan and the other kids were located. [Alright. Your job is to take care of these kids. Were still recruiting people, so itll take some time until we start building the sect. Well, at least we already have the materials for a few buildings. Anyway, good luck.]

Wait, what?! Hage was completely lost. How come him joining the sect changed into him becoming a babysitter?

Luan then approached Hage and said, Hello, senior. You dont need to worry. Ill be checking on the kids every now and then to make sure theyre following your orders. Besides, they will have to cultivate a lot from now on, so it should be pretty silent.

Cultivate? Only then did Hage notice the environments Divine Energy, which was around 40 to 50% denser than outside. Holy shit! So much Divine Energy!

Of course, he didnt forget what happened. Who are you? No, wait! Where are we at the moment? I was at the citys gate. How did I end up here?

Luan noticed that Hage had just arrived, so he tried to give him a quick explanation of what this place was. However, Luan was a kid himself, so he didnt do quite a good job. Then again, it was just enough for Hage to understand the situation.

So this is a Dimensional Realm or whatever these words mean. Its like a piece of land separated from reality or the like. Thats quite hard to believe. Hage was old but had a good head, at least.

Suddenly, a hand touched his shoulder, which gave Hage a scare. Hahaha! Theres no need to be so afraid. You already signed the contract, so no one will do anything to you, Hage.

Hage sighed in relief and quickly noticed that two new cultivators were on Reans side. Are they your friends too?

Rean shook his head in response. They received the same offer as you. Rean then pointed at the two and introduced them. The left one is Himfal. The right one is Vania.

Himfal and Vania were obviously much more at a loss since they didnt get Luans explanation. Sir what is this place?

Rean then pondered over it for a bit before using a Divine Sense message to tell them everything they should know about.

Dimensional Realm?

A moving sect?

More Divine Energy?

Rean nodded to all of their questions. Yes. I havent drafted the specifics yet. However, I intend to realize payments in Divine Stones according to contribution. We will build the sect here. Oh, right! You guys already signed the contract, so you wont be able to talk to anyone about it even if you wanted to. With that said, I can give you another chance. If you want to leave, this is your last chance. Im a man of my word. Since I said I wouldnt force anyone to stay, then I wont.

Vania, Himfal, and Hage were still processing all the new information Rean passed to them through Divine Sense. It was just way too much. However, one thing was certain, this could definitely become a turning point in their lives.

Himfal was the first one to answer after organizing all the information in his head. Im willing to stay. Just the Divine Energy alone is more than welcome. Himfal seemed to be around his forties. Of course, Rean already asked his real age, which was 212. Its just that his cultivation made him look younger.

Vania, who seemed to be in her thirties, but was actually 147 years old, was the next one. Me too. As long as what you said is true, of course.

Rean was happy to hear that, so he asked the last one. What about you, Hage?
