A large black panther, a giant specter made of phantom blue flames, and a giant, red-colored Arachne, all three of these creatures were one of my first tamed monsters, aside from Wisp who came from the Graveyard, although he has been with me for quite some time by now.

The three monsters rushed into the beast in front of them, the giant Dinosaur-like monster. Cuco used his powerful jaws and claws to bite and tear down the beast, while Wisp fired powerful explosions of phantom flames, and Arachne used her spider thread to wrap around the beast's legs, making it trip into the ground.

BOOM!

In just a few seconds, and trough outstanding teamwork, the beast was defeated just like that. The Elder of the Sects were left speechless, glancing at the might of my tamed monsters in disbelief. And that wasn't even all the power they had, nor all the troops I could summon.

Perhaps if I wanted, I could level almost the entire place in here using all my tamed monsters, undead, and summons' might, but that wouldn't be any fun, and honestly, quite pointless, I would end up just doing the same thing the other invaders did to my planet, and perhaps I won't even be able to go that far without someone strong to show up and stomp me down, this world was, after all, of a way higher level than it showed up to be.

"Good job guys," I said, as I petted Cuco… I couldn't really pet Wisp, and Arachne felt weird to pet because she was oddly humanoid.

"T-This is… you've completely defeated the tamed monster so fast!"

"He's… really amazing…!"

"And he summoned three powerful beasts as well!""Just who is he?!"

I wouldn't blame them for being left so speechless, I had really showcased a lot of my power right there, and I wasn't shying away from showing some more. I was not like Xijun, I didn't mind showing what I was capable of, or at least, a larger part than what she liked to show.

"So? What's wrong? Am I qualified for this or not? Answer me." I said. I stared at the Elders waiting for an answer right away, I didn't had any time to waste arguing with old men. Xijun looked at me with surprise and awe, as if what I was doing was completely amazing.

"Y-You're getting way too cocky!"

"But… He's right, he did win and his power is amazing…"

"Are we sure he's not some spy though?!"

"I want to have him in my sect!"

"Wait, no! Mine!"

The Elders then finally gave us the choice. There were five different sects in here, which were the strongest sects of this continent, and they were governing each cardinal direction, they were often named the Five Cardinal Sects, and all five of them held this competition to recruit members every few years in this city.

First of all, I wanted to ask about a few explanations, using the excuse of being a hermit that has been in closed cultivation for very long, I got some nice explanations from them which I appreciated greatly.

"I am baffled by you not knowing anything… But well, the name of this planed is named Azure, it is a blue planet within the Sanctuary, the greater beyond cosmos that lies within the confines of the sky. However, only those strong enough can traverse outside the planet…"

"This planet is mostly made up of oceans and has two continents, simply called Northern and Southern Continents. You're currently in the Southern Continent, where all five of our sects dominate the land."

"There are cases of people that has ascended beyond the power level that even you possess, and are able to trespass the Heavens Walls that protects our planet from the outside dangers, traveling outside into the Sanctuary where many other Planets can be found… but that's something beyond our scope."The Elders explained to me where the heck I was, at long last. Apparently, it seems that this planet is named Azure and that there is a big blue sea and two very plainly named Continents. We are currently in the Southern Continent where the Five Cardinal Sects dominate the land.

All five of these sects are rivals, but there had not been any annoying wars for the last thousand or so of years, so they're all peacefully living together in harmony for now, which is good, I wouldn't want to get myself involved in pointless wars.

There are five sects in total, and each one is like a different school of an element, in a way, each one specializes in one element.

There is the North Fire Sect, the South Water Sect, the West Wind Sect, the East Earth Sect, and lastly, the Central Light Sect. All five of them are strong on their own, and possess powerful disciples and members, and each one has a sect master that maintains the entire sect as the pillar.

All five of these sect elders, were actually not sect masters but the Elders that served them, who had come here to recruit promising younglings to their sects.

"So what do you think?"

"Which one are you joining?"

"Choose wisely!"

"You wont be able to go back after that… I think."

"Choose quickly."

"Hmmm… Alright, which one of you five sects is the strongest and the one with the best opportunities?" I asked. I was being bold here, but quite frankly, I didn't cared.

"…!"

All five sect elders looked at one another in surprise, what did I meant by this?

Well, it was obvious, they already figured out I meant something very obvious, I meant to say which one was the better off the others! Which one was the best to join? After all, I am not going to join some trashy sect.magic

Also they had said I could be a spy from another sect, so there might be other sects, which are simply lesser compared to the cardinal sects…
