Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1896

Yaacob, the self-professed know-it-all of the Grandiuno Sect, claimed knowledge of everything under the sun. He bragged about having personal experience of every incident that happened in Southsky and boasted that he knew tens of thousands of people within the sect. Words poured out of him like water from a burst dam.

The impression he left on Severin was that of a braggart who loved being nosy.

Throughout the journey, Severin gathered information about the personal lives of several elite disciples from him. He elicited titbits such as which women the young men were interested in, and who had engaged in life-or-death battles with their rivals. He also learned about each disciple's talents, be it swordsmanship, alchemy, or other skills.

Sordid details aside, Severin was able to gain a more profound understanding of the Grandiuno Sect. The sect had nine mountains, each guarded by a royal paragon. The first mountain was ranked thus because Oskar, the sect leader, resided there. No disciples were recruited for that mountain, unlike the remaining eight mountains.

The collective strength of each respective mountain from the second to the ninth was almost on par with each other, so they were ranked not by strength but by their respective specialties. Among their specializations include swordsmanship, formation techniques, puppet production, and equipment production.

Core disciples were granted their floating islands, and among the five core disciples, the weakest was a level eight supreme saint. The highest, Karl Fletcher, was a paragon.

Yaacob also talked about the sect's Alchemy Tower to Severin. It was said to have been passed down over three generations ago by one of the sect leaders who was a supreme paragon. The tower was used to help disciples make further progress in alchemy, those who have succeeded in completing all nine levels would have the knowledge passed on to them. Severin's attention was captured by Yaacob's explanation.

Before long, the Grandiuno Sect's magnificent mountains came into view. Floating islands abounded, each emitting a strong glow of spiritual energy. Spiritual birds did somersaults in the sky above, and the sunset created an enchanting scene that resembled a fairyland.
