Chapter 281

Return to the Immortal Martial World, Merging the Flesh Martial Dao, Manifesting Myriad Avatars!

"Finally back..." Lu Changsheng opened his eyes. His consciousness had returned, and he had brought Gao Wen's body back with him as well. Lu Changsheng had created the Flesh Martial Dao, and the essence of this path lay in one's very flesh and blood. This Flesh Martial Dao was even more powerful, profound, and miraculous than the Extreme Martial Dao of the previous world. Even for Lu Changsheng's true body, it would likely prove useful. "This world... is so powerful..." A voice sounded beside Lu Changsheng. The Demon Ancestor! Or rather, Meng. The Demon Ancestor carefully sensed the rules of this world, deeply shaken in the depths of his heart. He had once fused with an entire world. Consequently, his discernment was exceptionally sharp. With just a slight comparison, he could feel the vast difference between the two worlds. The world he had inhabited previously, even if made ten thousand times larger, would fall far short of this one. This time, the Demon Ancestor truly felt fortunate that he had come to this world at all costs. He had made the right choice! Lu Changsheng smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Meng, this world is divided into martial artists and immortal cultivators. These are two distinct systems, vastly different from each other. "If you wish to advance further, you must abandon your previous cultivation arts and integrate into the methods of this world. Otherwise, creating your own path will prove exceedingly difficult." Lu Changsheng had put it quite delicately. When a cultivator from a powerful world traveled to a weak one, pioneering a new art was rather simple. The most prominent example was Lu Changsheng himself. Whether in the first world or the second, he had easily created new paths. One was the Extreme Martial Dao. The other was the Flesh Martial Dao. Of course, this was also because Lu Changsheng's comprehension was terrifyingly monstrous. Even a Heavenly Saint likely fell short of Lu Changsheng's comprehension. However, for a cultivator from a weak world who arrived in a powerful one, creating a new path was brutally difficult. In fact, wanting to forge an art from scratch was no different from a pipe dream. This was especially true for the Demon Ancestor, whose ambitions reached for the heavens, yearning to climb higher. The Demon Ancestor was currently at the Martial Saint tier. Taking another step forward meant becoming an Earth Saint. Relying on himself alone to pioneer an Earth Saint art was simply too difficult. The Demon Ancestor merely smiled slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, I know my own limits. I will first study the cultivation methods of this world, test them one by one, and ultimately decide which path to take." Seeing that the Demon Ancestor possessed self-awareness, Lu Changsheng nodded. "Very well. This is the Secret World Tower; we cannot linger here for long. "I happen to have a sect. If you have nowhere to go, Fellow Daoist Meng, you may accompany me there for now." The Demon Ancestor nodded. "Then I shall trouble Fellow Daoist Lu." He had a clear head. Having arrived in such an unfamiliar world, following someone he knew was naturally the best course. Lu Changsheng was immensely powerful, and even in this world, his status and standing were certainly not low. Following Lu Changsheng to gain a firm foothold and understanding the common knowledge of this world was the most pressing priority. "Good, let us go together, then." With that, Lu Changsheng waved his hand, stowing away Gao Wen's body first. Then, he departed the Secret World Tower alongside the Demon Ancestor. Lu Changsheng returned to the Hundred Flowers Sect. When Sect Master Zhang Ling saw Lu Changsheng return, a trace of delight surfaced on her face. Whether Lu Changsheng presided over the Hundred Flowers Sect or not made a world of difference. "Supreme Elder, you have finally returned. And this is...?" Zhang Ling looked at the Demon Ancestor with some confusion. She had never seen the Demon Ancestor before and had no memory of such a person. "Fellow Daoist Meng, hailing from a secret world. "Fellow Daoist Meng has just departed a secret world and arrived in our Immortal Martial World. He is unfamiliar with many circumstances here, so I trouble the Sect Master to arrange accommodations for him." Lu Changsheng made no secret of it, directly explaining the Demon Ancestor's origin. "From a secret world?" Zhang Ling froze momentarily, then widened her eyes, filled with curiosity toward the Demon Ancestor. In truth, a life form coming from a secret world to the Immortal Martial World was not entirely unheard of, though it was indeed rare. Long ago, experts had already brought living beings from secret worlds into the Immortal Martial World. In essence, both worlds were fundamentally the same. Since people from the Immortal Martial World could traverse realms and enter secret worlds, then in theory, beings within secret worlds could also come to the Immortal Martial World. Of course, the difficulty involved was entirely different. It required all sorts of coincidences and the right timing for a secret world life form to cross over into the Immortal Martial World. After all, the Immortal Martial World was colossal. Traveling from a weak world to a powerful one was always exceedingly difficult. Up to now, throughout the history of the Immortal Martial World, a secret world more powerful than the Immortal Martial World had never been encountered. This proved that the Immortal Martial World was formidable indeed! Among so many secret worlds, surpassing the Immortal Martial World was nearly impossible. Thus, the Immortal Martial World naturally became a destination for countless secret world beings seeking the Dao. Zhang Ling led the Demon Ancestor away. Before long, the Demon Ancestor would surely gain a clear grasp of the Immortal Martial World's circumstances. Lu Changsheng, on the other hand, returned to his secret chamber. Having just acquired martial dao fragments, it was the perfect time to refine them. "Let us begin." With that, Lu Changsheng started refining the martial dao fragments. One, two, three, four, five... This time, the process took him quite a long time. For five full months, Lu Changsheng remained immersed in refining the martial dao fragments. *Whoosh.* Five months later, Lu Changsheng opened his eyes. He immediately summoned his attribute panel to inspect his status. Host: Lu Changsheng Comprehension: 2,324,000 (Natural Sage) Infinite Martial Dao: 15% (uncondensed) On the attribute panel, Lu Changsheng's comprehension had increased by approximately 1,050,000 points. Fifty thousand points came from his five months of seclusion. That meant refining the martial dao fragments had actually granted him one million comprehension points. It seemed like a large sum on the surface. Yet what was the reality? If he simply stayed in the Immortal Martial World, Lu Changsheng could gain 120,000 comprehension points a year. Ten years yielded 1,200,000 points. By comparison, the one million points gained from refining the martial dao fragments was nothing extraordinary. However, the martial dao fragments could advance the progress of the Infinite Martial Dao. They had directly pushed the progress up by 10%, reaching 15%. Although 15% was still a far cry from completion, it was progress nonetheless, and a substantial stride forward. Still, comprehension points were of paramount importance to Lu Changsheng. The higher his comprehension, the greater his cultivation efficiency. And the higher his future ceiling would be. "Comprehension points are the key. "It seems I must find a way to continuously accumulate comprehension points no matter where I go, without worrying about wasting time. "If I could have an avatar that constantly meditated within the Immortal Martial World, I could continuously gain comprehension points without delaying my other endeavors. "Unfortunately, even Heavenly Saints have never been heard to possess avatars..." Lu Changsheng considered the concept of avatars. If an avatar existed, then during his ten years in the secret world, he could have accumulated an extra 1,200,000 comprehension points, completely avoiding any lag in his comprehension growth. Yet the martial dao cultivation system of the Immortal Martial World did not seem to contain methods for condensing avatars. "Wait, it's not entirely impossible. "I created the Flesh Martial Dao in that second secret world. Doesn't that path possess the ability of rebirth from a drop of blood? "Rebirth from a drop of blood allows a single drop of blood to regrow into a true body. It naturally carries the true body's consciousness, so would that count as an avatar? "Moreover, combining rebirth from a drop of blood with myriad transformations, could I directly turn a mass of flesh into my avatar, thereby taking my place to permanently preside over the Immortal Martial World and accumulate comprehension points?" Lu Changsheng's eyes brightened as a possibility dawned on him. The Flesh Martial Dao! This was also a martial dao in its own right. And its upper limit was not low. It could reach the Martial Saint tier. Were it not for the constraints of that world's ceiling, perhaps the Flesh Martial Dao could have been even stronger, reaching the Earth Saint or even Heavenly Saint level. Of course, pioneering a path was no easy task. Especially when no path lay ahead; forging one entirely on one's own was practically a pipe dream. Lu Changsheng did not need to pioneer an entirely new art. After all, the martial dao path in the Immortal Martial World was well-paved. Even so, Lu Changsheng felt it was necessary to study the Flesh Martial Dao further. "Conveniently, I brought back Gao Wen's body." Lu Changsheng was well aware that Gao Wen's body was the culmination of the Flesh Martial Dao. Studying Gao Wen's body would yield twice the results with half the effort! Thus, Lu Changsheng's terrifying comprehension went to work. One month, two months, three months... This time, Lu Changsheng immersed his mind completely, analyzing the Flesh Martial Dao. He even gradually extrapolated and pushed the Flesh Martial Dao further. After half a year, Lu Changsheng stopped. "Trying to push the Flesh Martial Dao to the Earth Saint level is too difficult. "It cannot succeed in the short term. After all, an Earth Saint must align with the rules of the Immortal Martial World. If I had a vantage point from above, I could deduce it, but right now it requires actual trial and error, which isn't worth the trouble. "I don't need to push the Flesh Martial Dao to the Earth Saint tier. That would be an unrewarding endeavor, and its power might not necessarily surpass the saint body system. I only need to adopt its strengths to compensate for my weaknesses, acquiring the ability of rebirth from a drop of blood from the Flesh Martial Dao. "If it is merely achieving rebirth from a drop of blood, then there is no problem at all. The saint body system cannot be altered, and I will not cripple my saint body; after all, the saint body is the cornerstone of a martial artist. But my physical body can still attempt to assimilate aspects of the Flesh Martial Dao, invigorating the flesh and blood with vitality to reach the state of rebirth from a drop of blood. "If I were to cultivate from scratch step by step to reach that stage, it would certainly require a prolonged period. "However, I have Gao Wen's flesh and blood, so there's no need for such trouble. Refining Gao Wen's flesh will suffice..." Through half a year of deduction, Lu Changsheng's comprehension of over two million proved truly terrifying. He had actually found a solution. Furthermore, he had Gao Wen's flesh. This was the flesh of the Flesh Progenitor. It was ready-made, sparing Lu Changsheng the need to cultivate it anew. He only needed to refine it and merge his own flesh with Gao Wen's. With that in mind, Lu Changsheng began his attempt at once. Having deduced the process countless times, this step posed little real difficulty. Lu Changsheng succeeded on his first try. What followed was gradual refinement. In just one month, Lu Changsheng had thoroughly refined all of Gao Wen's flesh, integrating it into his own body. Instantly, the flesh of Lu Changsheng's body began to undergo a transformation. Before long, the transformation of his flesh was complete. With a mere thought, a mass of flesh dropped from his body. "Condense." The flesh rapidly coalesced into shape, taking on Lu Changsheng's appearance. "Greetings, Fellow Daoist," Lu Changsheng said with a smile. "Greetings, original body," Lu Changsheng's "avatar" replied. The sensation was extraordinarily wondrous. It was like talking to oneself, completely devoid of any barrier, with minds seamlessly connected. There was no risk of an avatar defying the original body's will or usurping control. There was no distinction between host and guest. Because the avatar was Lu Changsheng, with no difference whatsoever. However, this avatar's strength was somewhat lacking. After all, it was merely a clump of flesh. Thus, Lu Changsheng continued to empower its flesh. Only after sharing the greater part of his own flesh did Lu Changsheng finally stop. "That should do. The avatar's strength has reached the peak Human Saint level. "It is a pity that a flesh avatar possesses no saint body... "Still, I wonder if it can perceive rules and increase comprehension points?" Lu Changsheng tested it. As it turned out, it truly could. It was no different from his true body; both could accumulate comprehension points. Next, Lu Changsheng condensed a second avatar. However, the avatars shared a single connected consciousness. Thus, there was no scenario where each avatar meditated separately and stacked their comprehension points together. That was impossible. As long as the avatars remained within sensory reach, it was forever equivalent to a single person comprehending, and only one person could increase comprehension points. Yet this was already enough. In the future, if Lu Changsheng traveled to other secret worlds or places where he could not sense his avatar, the avatar could continue to increase his comprehension points. Furthermore, even in completely isolated places where both his true body and avatar were attempting to improve comprehension, once they reconnected, the insights of the avatar and the true body would most likely overlap. In the end, it still amounted to a single person improving comprehension. Lu Changsheng's notion of creating tens of thousands of avatars to meditate separately, accumulate points, and multiply his comprehension tenfold or a hundredfold all at once was fundamentally unachievable. Even so, this solved two of Lu Changsheng's current major dilemmas. The first was safety. With an avatar, Lu Changsheng's safety was substantially guaranteed. Even if his true body died, the avatar would survive; for Lu Changsheng, that meant he had not truly died. Of course, the avatar was merely a flesh avatar and lacked a saint body. If Lu Changsheng's true body were destroyed, the avatar would have to cultivate slowly from scratch to rebuild the saint body. That would consume an immense amount of time, amounting to a colossal loss. Therefore, his true body should still avoid death whenever possible. The second benefit was the accumulation of comprehension points. From now on, Lu Changsheng would not have to worry that visiting a place like a secret world for eight, ten, or several dozen years would stall the growth of his comprehension. With an avatar, there was no need to fear missing out on comprehension gains. The avatar would be stationed in the Immortal Martial World specifically to meditate and accumulate comprehension. "The Flesh Martial Dao has proved remarkably useful indeed." Lu Changsheng was well pleased. He prepared to station multiple flesh avatars. He would place them in various locations. Not just the Saint Domain, but also the Holy Land, the Ancient Region, and even the Northern Region. As well as places he had never set foot in before. A wily hare had three burrows. Lu Changsheng needed ample preparations as well, to prevent being wiped out in a single stroke. Even if that possibility was infinitesimal, he still had to guard against it. After all, self-preservation was paramount. No one knew what the future held. Making more preparations was never a mistake. "Time to step outside and see." Through this period of cultivation, Lu Changsheng had largely digested the gains from his journey to the secret world. Thus, he exited the secret chamber and re-emerged in the Hundred Flowers Sect. Lu Changsheng immediately sought out the Demon Ancestor. With a sweep of his consciousness, he located the Demon Ancestor at once. Yet the Demon Ancestor's current state surprised Lu Changsheng. Taking a single stride, Lu Changsheng traversed an immense distance and appeared before the Demon Ancestor. "Fellow Daoist Meng, what is this...?" Lu Changsheng was somewhat bewildered. The Demon Ancestor before him was completely different from the one in the secret world. His aura had withered to the extreme. Let alone a demon ancestor, he did not even possess the strength of an ancient demon. At most, his aura was merely at tertiary growth. To be precise, it was Qi refining! Indeed, the venerable Demon Ancestor—once the supreme, immortal sovereign of an entire world— had now become a Qi refiner! The Demon Ancestor smiled slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, you have finally emerged from seclusion. "My situation is actually quite simple. "After familiarizing myself with the Immortal Martial World's circumstances and cultivation systems, I took a test and discovered that I possess a spiritual root—an exceptionally remarkable one at that. "Moreover, I am not particularly well-versed in the martial dao, so I chose to cultivate the immortal path anew, stepping into the immortal cultivation system. "I have only just begun and remain at the Qi Refining stage, but reaching Foundation Establishment and Golden Core will pose little trouble. "The only slight hurdle will be the Nascent Soul stage. Yet having been a demon ancestor, my realm was roughly comparable to a Nascent Soul anyway, so cultivating back to that level will not be difficult. "Furthermore, having fused with a world before, my comprehension of the 'Dao' runs deep, which provides a massive advantage when reaching for Deity Transformation." The Demon Ancestor explained point by point. Though Lu Changsheng was surprised, he nodded in understanding upon hearing the explanation. The Demon Ancestor actually possessed a spiritual root and could cultivate immortality through Qi refining. This was a good thing. Compared to the martial dao, the immortal path suited the Demon Ancestor well, as his prior fusion with a world gave him an extraordinarily profound grasp of the "Dao." It could almost be said that, barring unforeseen accidents, he could advance straight to Deity Transformation. That was equivalent to the Earth Saint level. Of course, it would take time and resources, but it was already the best choice for the Demon Ancestor. "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Meng, on selecting the path that suits you best! "However, regarding the future, what plans do you have?" Lu Changsheng asked. In truth, becoming a Qi refiner did not mean the Demon Ancestor lacked combat power. Demons fundamentally fought with their physical bodies. And the Demon Ancestor's body was terrifyingly formidable, firmly at the absolute pinnacle of the Human Saint tier. Thus, the current Demon Ancestor was still a mighty existence second only to an Earth Saint. He was far from defenseless. The Demon Ancestor pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke: "In truth, my best course would be joining an immortal cultivation sect and progressing step by step. "However, with my background, whether I could enter a major immortal sect aside, even if I did, I would likely never earn their trust. "And once immortal cultivation reaches the Nascent Soul or Deity Transformation stage, one must rely on oneself anyway; a sect's assistance becomes negligible. "Therefore, after thinking it through, I have decided to remain in the Hundred Flowers Sect to keep Fellow Daoist Lu company." Lu Changsheng smiled. "The Hundred Flowers Sect naturally welcomes Fellow Daoist Meng with open arms! "Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Meng: although the Hundred Flowers Sect is a martial dao sect, immortal and martial paths are not strictly divided in the Immortal Martial World. Procuring top-tier immortal cultivation arts for you will pose no difficulty. "Moreover, once your cultivation bears fruit in the future, you may even establish an immortal cultivation branch within the Hundred Flowers Sect." Lu Changsheng knew that the Demon Ancestor had made this decision after careful deliberation. Joining the Hundred Flowers Sect was clearly the optimal choice. After all, Lu Changsheng knew the Demon Ancestor thoroughly and would not harbor suspicions toward him like other sects or factions would. For the Demon Ancestor, what he needed most right now was time and a stable cultivation environment. And both of these conditions could be provided by the Hundred Flowers Sect. Just then, Zhang Ling arrived. Learning of the Demon Ancestor's decision, she beamed with joy, her heart surging with excitement. She knew the Demon Ancestor's true background. A demon ancestor of an entire world! One who had even fused with a world. In terms of realm, the Demon Ancestor was on par with Deity Transformation and Earth Saints. In other words, with sufficient resources, the Demon Ancestor's cultivation would be smooth sailing. Before Deity Transformation, he would face no bottlenecks whatsoever. He could cultivate straight to Deity Transformation. When that time came, the Hundred Flowers Sect would flourish in both immortal and martial paths, boasting Deity Transformation experts alongside Earth Saints. What an immense honor that would be! "That Fellow Daoist Meng is willing to join our Hundred Flowers Sect is something we could only dream of. "Given your standing, Fellow Daoist Meng, you shall become an elder of our Hundred Flowers Sect starting today. You will lack for no immortal cultivation resources, and the Hundred Flowers Sect will assist you with all our might! "Should you attain Deity Transformation, you will directly become a Supreme Elder!" The Hundred Flowers Sect had offered generous terms indeed. The Demon Ancestor was thoroughly satisfied, making it a happy conclusion for both parties. "Supreme Elder, an invitation arrived several months ago, sent from Divine Sword Villa," Zhang Ling suddenly spoke up. "They invited the Supreme Elder to visit Divine Sword Villa four months later, purportedly concerning a secret world. As for the specifics, the Hundred Flowers Sect failed to uncover any intelligence; Divine Sword Villa has kept its lips exceedingly tight. "Less than ten days remain before the appointed date. Will you be attending, Supreme Elder?" During the previous months, Lu Changsheng had been in seclusion, and Zhang Ling naturally would not disturb him over a mere invitation. Only now that Lu Changsheng had emerged did Zhang Ling bring it up. "An invitation from Divine Sword Villa?" Lu Changsheng searched his memory for Divine Sword Villa. It was a clan-based power, and likewise a Heavenly Saint lineage. The members of Divine Sword Villa all bore the surname Xiahou. It was said that the ancestor of Divine Sword Villa was a Heavenly Saint named Xiahou Feng, who had founded the villa with his own hands. As for the present day, Xiahou Feng had long since passed away. Yet Divine Sword Villa endured. Though they no longer had a Heavenly Saint, Divine Sword Villa was in a far better state than the Hundred Flowers Sect. Not only did they possess Earth Saints, but they had many of them, ranking among the foremost powers beneath the Heavenly Saint level. For Divine Sword Villa to invite Lu Changsheng, it must be regarding an important matter. After all, Lu Changsheng's reputation was renowned far and wide, making him one of the premier figures beneath the Heavenly Saint level. "Since the timing aligns, I will pay them a visit. "Let us see what Divine Sword Villa is up to." Lu Changsheng agreed to attend. Given how secretive Divine Sword Villa was being, Lu Changsheng rather hoped it genuinely involved a secret world. With ten or so days remaining, Lu Changsheng waited quietly. When the time arrived, Lu Changsheng set out. Divine Sword Villa was also located in the vicinity of Saint Star City. Like the Hundred Flowers Sect, it belonged to the factions surrounding Saint Star City. Flying at full speed, Lu Changsheng arrived at Divine Sword Villa in just two hours. Divine Sword Villa was situated amidst a sea of mountains. Looking from afar, the mountain peaks resembled divine swords piercing the sky. This was not mere resemblance; it was reality. It was said that every single mountain peak within Divine Sword Villa represented a divine sword. Whoever could gain the recognition of one of these divine swords and wield it would immediately become a top-tier Earth Saint! These were the various divine swords Xiahou Feng had collected back when he was a Heavenly Saint, now serving as Divine Sword Villa's foundation. Lu Changsheng arrived outside the main gates of Divine Sword Villa and announced his identity. "Hundred Flowers Sect Supreme Elder, Lu Changsheng." Hearing Lu Changsheng's name, the disciples of Divine Sword Villa instantly adopted an attitude of deep respect. "So it is Senior Lu! "Senior Lu, please enter. The Villa Master has instructed that Senior Lu need not wait for an announcement and may enter the villa directly. "Senior Lu, please follow me." The people of Divine Sword Villa at the gates were exceedingly deferential, clearly instructed well in advance. Lu Changsheng paid it no mind. Unlike before, his renown was resounding. Anyone in the vicinity of Saint Star City had certainly heard of Lu Changsheng's deeds. Naturally, no one would dare slight him. Soon, Lu Changsheng stepped into Divine Sword Villa. Pavilions, towers, and courtyards lined the path, magnificent and exquisite. The Xiahou family had clearly expended great effort on the architecture of Divine Sword Villa. Of course, the most distinctive feature was the swords! The entire Divine Sword Villa seemed permeated by a unique Dao rhyme— more precisely, a sword rhyme. Living and cultivating in such an environment over an extended period would deepen one's comprehension of the sword dao. Before long, Lu Changsheng entered the grand hall of Divine Sword Villa. *Swish.* Numerous gazes instantly landed upon Lu Changsheng. "Hmm?" Lu Changsheng swept his gaze across the hall. One, two, three, four, five... Inside the grand hall of Divine Sword Villa, there were actually over a dozen Earth Saint experts. The moment Lu Changsheng appeared, he was naturally scrutinized by everyone. Seated at the very head of the grand hall was the Villa Master of Divine Sword Villa, and also its strongest Earth Saint, Xiahou Puyu. "So it is Supreme Elder Lu of the Hundred Flowers Sect. "Pardon my lack of a proper welcome. Elder Lu, please take a seat." Xiahou Puyu rose with a smile to greet him. "Villa Master Xiahou is too courteous." Lu Changsheng glanced at his assigned seat. The first seat on the left. This surprised Lu Changsheng somewhat. Seating arrangements were never made haphazardly. The left was the position of honor. The first seat on the left signified Villa Master Xiahou's high regard for him. In fact, it marked him as the most honored guest. Such recognition was quite "bold." Even though Lu Changsheng was renowned abroad, the Xiahou family was certainly no pushover. However, Lu Changsheng naturally did not consider it overly ostentatious. He walked over and sat down directly. He now possessed the strength to occupy this seat. After Lu Changsheng took his seat, the gazes in the hall retracted one after another. The martial artists present in the grand hall were all top-tier Earth Saints— beings who possessed martial dao wills and had condensed embryonic martial daos. They would not antagonize Lu Changsheng over a mere seating arrangement. Their expressions and gazes remained thoroughly calm, revealing deep composure. "Very well. Now that Fellow Daoist Lu has arrived, all the honored guests invited for this occasion are present." Xiahou Puyu took a deep breath, then said in a deep voice, "Do you know why my Divine Sword Villa invited you all today?" Everyone shook their heads, refraining from speaking out of turn, quietly waiting for Xiahou Puyu to continue. Sure enough, Xiahou Puyu went on, "Divine Sword Villa has invited everyone for the sake of a secret world! "This was a secret world discovered covertly by Divine Sword Villa. "Regrettably, this secret world is too formidable—my Divine Sword Villa cannot swallow it alone!" Xiahou Puyu's words caused the eyes of everyone in the grand hall to light up. A secret world! Was this not a stroke of good fortune delivered straight to their doorstep? However, everyone remained clear-headed. Divine Sword Villa was by no means weak. If even Divine Sword Villa could not swallow it alone, just how powerful was this secret world?
