As the only one who had a semblance of understanding on seals in Moroc city, Seth was a valued teacher in Moroc high school but at the same time because of his cultivation level, his authority and influence in the school was almost nonexistent.

Seth’s presence at Moroc high School gave it a boost in its reputation after all finding a cultivator proficient in seals in a grade c city was almost impossible, just the fact that Moroc high school gave tutorship on seals gave it substantial clout even among grade c cities.

Despite Seth’s cultivation level, he was one of the school’s most paid staff and this made a lot of people upset, especially those with higher cultivation than him, they would sometimes cause problems for him like the school guards who tried stopping him.

Due to the number of enemies he had acquired, Seth found it almost impossible to get a vacation out of the city, his application to leave the city were always denied under the guise of him being too weak and possible dying.

Seth had somehow been able to convince the school to let him visit the Longsam canyon, and it during this short outing that he had come up with an unbelievable speculation which he might now have a chance of confirming.

A dust covered armored truck could be seen driving speedily through the bumps and holes of its makeshift road, the armored truck charged through the sandy plains lke and unstoppable beast but it began slowing down when a huge opening in the earth appeared in its sight.

When the truck finally stopped, a weirdly dressed young man stepped down from it and gave his body a much needed stretch, he was described as weirdly dressed due to his loose orange trousers and orange top.

If anyone was here to see him, they would see a man dressed what could only be orange pajamas coupled with his orange sunglasses, it was a real a bright choice of clothing.

Fortunately for Seth there was no one around to comment on his choice of clothing, especially in such considering his surroundings.

“Four days of traveling”, Seth thought as he looked at the seemingly endless hole in the distance while running his hand through his black hair.

He went to the trunk of the truck and took out a huge camping bag and placed it on his back.

“I should get myself a space ring “Seth grumbled out.

Space rings were very expensive to make and rare to find, they were normally seen on general stage cultivators.

“A gang as troublesome as the hammer gang should have one right”, Seth thought with a grin, he had high hopes for his upcoming battle with this gang.

After taking out the bag, Seth took out a book and closed the trunk, he opened the book and flipped through its pages with some concentration, finding the page he was looking for, Seth cleanly tore it out, and slammed on the side of the truck and then poured his qi into it.

The paper lit up in black light when qi entered into it and a circular seal appeared on its surface which then grew in size till it covered the whole truck.

A few minutes later, the truck seemed to blink out of existence as it could no longer be seen and Seth face had a slight look of exhaustion.

The seal he had placed on the car worked on the principal if refraction and reflection, when the seal was activated with qi, it made light pass through it making it seem like there was nothing on that spot.

The amount of qi required to power the seal had been a little taxing on his meagre quantity of qi.

“My body strength is more than enough to get me through while my qi recovers” Seth thought as he began jogging towards the canyon.

After a few minutes, Seth arrived at the edge of the canyon and after another stretch of his body, Seth began his rigorous and grueling descent down to the bottom of the canyon.

The canyon had an official entrance built by the government which had facilities that made descent to the canyon’s bottom a piece of cake, but it was half a day away from Seth’s location.

Most cultivators like Seth who didn’t want to bother with the identity checks and protocols at the entrance preferred to enter the canyon from it edges.

Descent down the edge of the canyon was a very risky endeavor as one was prone to attacks from flying monsters which were always in the air, coupled with the steep walls of the canyon, climbing down into the canyon could be seen as a suicidal move.

Seth had seen different flying monsters in the sky as he jogged towards the canyon but none of them had attacked him, some of those far away flew towards him but immediately turned away when they got closer.

This relationship between him and the beasts continued even as Seth vulnerably climbed down the walls of the canyon right till his feet touched its floor.

Wasting no time, Seth took out a bottle from his bag, drank some water and immediately headed deep into the canyon with a light jog.

The further one moved towards the middle of Longsam canyon, the deeper one went and the wider the canyon became.

The outer parts of the canyon should have contained a substantial number of people but today Seth came across no one as he ran though.

On the day the hammer gang entered into the canyon, they had created another massacre in their wake scaring anyone from venturing into it, this coupled with the government ban on its entry was the reason for its current desertion.

Seth calmly continued his run and a few minutes later appeared in front of a short wide pillar of rock which jutted out on the side of the canyon.

Seth approached the pillar, placed his right hand on it and then channeled some qi into it, and a few seconds later, a small seal appeared on the rock beside his hand.

When the seal appeared, Seth immediately changed the speed of his qi flow which was followed by the disappearance of the first seal and the appearance of another seal which prompted him to change the speed of his qi flow again.

Seth had to change his qi flow 5 times with the appearance of a 5 different seals and then after changing the speed of his qi flow for the last time, a massive seal covering the entire surface of the rock appeared.

Seth took a deep breath when this happened, a look of slight exhaustion on his face.

After a few seconds of rest while still standing, he injected his soul sense into the massive seal on the rock with his right hand still on the rock and remained in that position for 3 hours.

Three hours later, Seth took his hand off the rock and collapsed to the ground in exhaustion, he had was all out of qi right now and defenseless, but that didn’t stop a smile of victory and pride from appearing on his face.

Seth had no relationship with the hammer gang and would have ignored that piece of news concerning them, but the mention of “Longsman Canyon” had made him change his mind.

Three years ago while in this canyon, he had stumbled across this rock and discovered there were seals on it and after successfully struggling to make sense of it, he had come up with a speculation on what it was, a teleportation seal.

The ability to teleport was stuff of the legend in lower raked cities, such a thing was only know to exit in top cities.

Knowledge on how to even draw up teleportation seal was something so far out of his reach, yet here he had found a still functional one.

.

Seth was sure he could unravel the hidden teleportation seal if he could make use qi, but he wasn’t sure he could bypass the seals security checks required to activate it.

Back then, he had been forced to leave the seal without being able to satisfy his curiosity, but today was different, he had been able to unravel the hidden seal and was now on the verge of activating it after bypassing all its security checks thanks to his soul sense.

His soul sense acted as if it was a higher authority to the seal which gave him high control over it.

Seth opened up his bag and one could see that it was almost contained only food, Seth aware of his incredible hunger had packed up a lot of food and now after successfully unravelling the seal, he could feel a ferocious hunger brewing within him.

He hastily gobbled up his food, and then took an hour to rest.

When Seth felt himself back to full energy in every aspect, he pulled out two iron bats from his bag and placed them on his back in a cross position and then moved towards the rock.

The hammer gang were said to have disappeared after coming into this canyon and he was betting that they had used this seal to teleport to another location.

Seth could feel ripples of excitement shoot through his blood as he prepared to activate the seal and most likely meet the hammer gang.

He moved towards the rock and once again placed his hand on it and sent his soul sense into it, he focused his attention on the seal like last time, but this time he didn’t stay in a fixed position for long as a few minutes later he was surrounding by a white light and teleported away.
