Waking to a bright morning he gets up out of the bed to wipe down and change into his master's outfit, he is now 17 and will officially be introduced as his master's seventh official disciple.
He see Qi waiting for him with a wooden basin and a rag to wipe down with along with the nice enchanted clothes his master ordered for him, he has become one of the highest ranks within this sect and is sought by many due to his rapid progress with his cultivation he is slowly approaching the third stage and his servant was already entered the fourth making many jealous.
He steps out in a bright red and white robe with a proud stride and his servant wears a red and blue uniform representing him as a servant of the sword peak, he can see the looks of both hatred and greed as he walks past the inner disciples trying to gain a master while I have one despite my young age.
He has had many women come to him for an arranged marriage for their families, he has refused as he is sure once he attains the peak heirship he can get an even better marriage.
He has arrived at the master home and kneels in respect for him while Qi remains behind the courts entrance as is expected for a servant, his master comes, and he stands once he is allowed before following him into the home for the ceremony of discipleship.
First his swordsmanship that he has perfected with the specialty training and teaching from Qi then is his cultivation which is shown to be almost in the third stage, next is his knowledge in other fields.
He has learned extensively under Qi who taught him all he can of what he understood while also integrating many of the information into his sword forms, he knows that the sword forms are based on the array formation for enhancement so all those using it will have both their bodies and energy increased.
He has finally come of age in the eyes of most and last month had his presentation as an alpha, he knows if he is still a prince, he would be dead due to this but here it is the greatest proof of one's talent.
He came here at sunrise and leaves at sunset with Qi still waiting at the entrance as me and master walk to the stone wall and carve my name into it, I smirk as people begin to try and talk me up and connect with me while Qi follows me in silence and many look at him in anger as he has earned the place as my servant through nothing.
Servants are given better martial arts and techniques along with many medicines and access to energy gathering arrays, many say the only reason he has advanced so well is because of those.
I am now ready to take my first assignment and thanks to Qi I know how they go, Qi takes many to buy both me and him many things to help me in cultivating and Qi buys even more for his arrays but now that he has come of age he can show them his true strength and he will do so by attending the hidden realm test for this year.
Only those between 17 and 21 may enter and all of us can only come on invite from our sect, I know I can gain the invite and as my servant Qi will follow me there but will be unable to enter as he is too old.
I walk into the assignment hall and am given the test task causing me to smirk, I turn and go back to pack for the trip.
Qi packs all qiankun pouch's and ready's everything in order so to make it easy for access, we set out the next day on horse backs as we are too low in cultivation to fly.
We rest at night and continue in the daytime with Qi doing his task and dealing with any trouble that comes around, after two weeks on horse we arrive at the city of the sea a beautiful and large city filled with a mixture of normal people and cultivators trying their luck.
Smirking I enter the city with pride and soon come to the best tavern as I will not stay in those breaking down holes in the wall, Qi pays for the two nights I will be here until the competition starts and I order food that Qi pays for.
I flirt with many of the omegas in the town and am told a red-light road is close by allowing me to bring two of the pretty omegas here to enjoy, Qi makes sure they will not fall with child and when morning comes, I awake to an empty bed just as I like after my escapades.

Many of the women in the sect were willing to sleep with me in order for better cultivation materials, he knew most would frown on this but as long as no one spoke of it then it never happened.
He then got washed and changed by Qi before stepping out into the town for a look around before the event tomorrow, he can feel most those here has worst cultivation then him and the only ones close to him are from the greater sects who don't let royalty join.
Suddenly he sees a man with incredible looks and a high cultivation base that he can't read along with the outfit for the great sword sect, they are the best in swordsmanship and often are seen as highly rigorous in their training and morals.
I am not happy but know little can be done for this is a great sect person, but I also have no intention on sucking up to him like others will.
I ignore him and get some dumplings from one of the vendors as I sit down and Qi pays for the food the man from the sword sect approaches and orders some for himself before sitting down two seats away from me, Qi makes sure to remain standing behind me and tastes the dumplings before I eat them for poison.
I eat in peace when a woman approaches in the same uniform of the sword sect, she calls out the name Bin Wu and the man from two seats over responds with a grunt.
I feel angry as such a woman is a great beauty with a perfect not too big or small figure with high cultivation and martial arts if the clothes, she wears that represent official disciple is anything to go on, truly how he can simply grunt when she calls him so enthusiastically.
Although female alphas are rare, they can carry child just like a normal woman and the children the produce though not as talented as one produced by omega are guaranteed to be alpha, making them highly sought for in the cultivation world.
The man ignores her, and she sits with him to eat, finally I finish my food and head back my good mood ruined by the man.
The next day I am up early and ready for the hidden realm which I intend to win, I know I am not the best thanks to the man from yesterday but still with my talent and swordsmanship it will not be hard to at least get a high rank in this event.
So, I stand in the open field with many others from varying sects and a few who won some competitions and earned a pass to enter despite not being from a sect, they will probably be recruited by the higher sects to become guards and representatives.
When ten A.M. cam we were swirled into a vortex and spat out in different locations in a place filled with fauna and monsters, I take out the tracking array Qi prepared for me and begin to hunt the creatures for their items.
Each daemon has different items worth something along with their cores, for horned daemon it is usually their horns but for most others it varied based on their species and how they fought but removing them are difficult without ruining it luckily a step by step guide written by Qi wrote out most basic and slightly more complicated ones so I don't have to bring all the bodies around.
Of course, the meat of such beings is usually packed with energy and when ate can enhance cultivation but he will wait until Qi can cultivate with him to do so, he wants the full effect not half what he can get.
The first day passes with him killing four daemons and all were 2nd stage ones and worth more he smirks in triumph at his haul when rustles come from the now dark forest and he sees someone with a sword coming at him with and attack ready, he sighs in disgust and cuts the mans hand off in a single strike.
The man is one of the rouge cultivators and so such injury is unable to be healed by using the stump as that is a unique technique for the sects.
He hears the man scream in pain but simply sheathes his blade and continue on his journey but after a few steps another person approaches but without his blade drawn so he remains vigilant but doesn't strike, and it proves the right call as the one called Bin Wu arrives.
"Why cause such harm when you clearly are much more capable, you could simply beat him and rush him off?" I scoff as clearly this man doesn't understand that if I did so he would simply attack someone else.
"If I did that, he would do this to someone else." I say then return back to trying to find a cave to rest in for now.
"I see but can't you knock him out and tie him up, he is now in great danger due to such thing from Daemons as they will be attracted to the blood." Well, he should have not attempted to attack me first, after all there is no way to know if he would have done worse to me.
"He probably would have done worse to those he stole from, if he is scared, he can drop out and leave the hidden realm." The man is not in any danger though his lively hood is now ruined but he deserves it for trying to ruin my placement.
Bin Wu contemplates this but seems to realize no matter what he says I will not regret my action and so backs off but speaks to the one whose hand is removed to come to him after the event for a talk, probably going to help him like a naïve person who doesn't understand all things don't get repaid.
I return to my hunt and soon the weeklong hunt comes to an end, and I come out to Qi there with clean clothes and a room booked for me to rest in, going to the tavern I fall to sleep in a proper bed as one of my statures should.
We leave the next morning and neither the annoying man with one hand nor the arrogant Bin Wu come making it a pleasant send off.
