He doesn’t know why the reincarnation of a great cultivator went to get a loan and is spending all of his time gambling when the great cultivator should instantly become rich after inheriting the assets from his past life. But he also doesn’t know much about rank 5 cultivators, so he didn’t question the behavior.
He watched Loki earn up to a million before the gambling houses refused to take his bet. So Loki had to leave.
Muni then took Loki back to the gate of the market, where Loki repaid his debt. From there, he took Loki to register back into the sect.
After registration, the two of them parted ways. Muni returned to his duties while Loki began step three of his plan.
Step three of his plan to preserve his life during the turmoil that was about to occur was to become a true disciple of the sect by paying the 100,000 awakening debt and using access to merit points to sign for a grade mission to go to the battlefield and fight for the sect.
From what he has heard so far in his life, he knows that even rank 6 beings will be moved into action if they sniff the presence of a Divine Metac. The only way he could think of to prevent such beings from making a direct move on him is to join the sect army and go to the battlefield.
After doing this, he said to himself, "I hope this is better than my first idea."
He isn’t sure if this plan will work, but he is sure that it is better than his previous plan to join the city police and rely on the city lord to protect him, if only because an invisible plaque that only true disciples could see appeared above his head as soon as he registered for the mission.
The plaque had writing on it that said, "Member of the Four Directions Sect Army."
So its duty was to inform true disciples that he is off bounds. The plaque doesn’t exactly say what will happen if anyone tries to kill him, and he is sure that the Four Directions Sect still won’t try to protect him if someone tries to kill him, but he hopes that the plaque will deter people from taking action against him.
Of course, he doesn’t plan to rely on just this for his safety. He can only rely on his strength, so he took the 800,000 energy stones in his possession to the market in the city.
As he left the sect grounds, he noticed that there didn’t seem to be anything amiss. Everyone was still doing their duties and going about their lives without any obvious changes.
He quickly noticed that no one was watching the gates for people going into and leaving the sect grounds, and that no one was following him. He noticed the absence of these things quickly because he was expecting them to happen.
This made him say, "It seems that the news of the appearance of a Divine Metac and reincarnation hasn’t been exposed yet. That’s good."
He sighed in relief as he said, "It is good that I didn’t need the identity as a member of the sect army to continue the rest of my plan. This way, things will be able to progress faster and easier."
After sighing in relief, he thought to himself with some trepidation, "I wonder when this peace will last, though. I also wonder if that hand from the sky is from a divine being. If it is, then I might have jumped from frying pan to fire."
Only one hand had rendered him helpless, and that was only because of one Danger Sense Metac. So if that large hand belonged to a divine being and many divine beings hear about Slav’s Space Blink Metac, he will be in a lot of trouble.
The worst part about the possibility of his current situation being far worse than the previous trouble that he was in is that he doesn’t have any way to avoid this trouble, like he avoided the previous large hand.
As he thought of this, he said to himself, "Slav is the source of the problem this time around, not me. So the only way to avoid this problem is stop Slav from exposing himself. I can only do that by killing him."
He thought about this as he made his way to the central market. Along the way, no one glanced at him more than usual. In fact, people were respectful to him and gave him a wide berth as he passed by.
All of this respect was because he was a rank 3 cultivator. It wasn’t because they thought that he was the reincarnation of a rank 5 cultivator.
A rank 3 cultivator is already a big shot in the cultivation world. This is because rank 4 cultivators are rare, and rank 5 cultivators rarely show themselves in the world at all.
Take this city, for example, there are more than a million people living in it. Of these 1,000,000 people, a maximum of 10,000 of them are rank 3. That means, only one in ten are rank 3 cultivators.
As small as the proportion of the population is that of rank 3 cultivators, the proportion of rank 4 cultivators is even smaller at one in one hundred being rank 4 cultivators.
So in all of the city, there are a maximum of 100 rank 4 beings. As for a rank 5 cultivator in the city, only the city lord is suspected to be at that level.
When he thought of this and compared it to the respect he was currently receiving, he chuckled and said, "If they thought that I was the reincarnation of a rank 5 being, then this whole place will scatter, and respect will quickly turn into attracting trouble."
For now, no one knew that he was a full reincarnation, and no one knew that he was actually more important and more valuable than the reincarnation of a great cultivator, so his life was still peaceful. He was able to reach the central market without any trouble.
