Early the next morning, after finishing breakfast, everyone busied themselves with their own tasks.
Billy flew to a valley about a hundred kilometers away from the hotel to practice.
Since breaking through to the Divine Realm, he had been attempting the ultimate chapter of ‘Dragon Soaring Skies.’
However, the technique of ‘Nine Dragons Unite’ was evidently not as easy, as he had failed several times before.
Activating his bloodline power, he created afterimages with his hands in the air, causing the air around him to surge wildly.
Before long, nine phantom divine dragons appeared in the surrounding void, their outlines clearer than before.
“Try again!”
After brewing for a moment, Billy’s eyes narrowed.
Then, with a quick flip of his hands, the nine phantom divine dragons began to whirl rapidly in the air.
Their speed increased, and in a matter of seconds, a huge vortex of air formed around Billy.
The entire valley was in turmoil as the divine dragons swept through, shattering rocks, trees, and dust filled the air.
“Unite!”
Billy exclaimed in a deep voice, his momentum soaring to its peak.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In the next moment, the nine phantom dragons swirled once more, shooting up into the sky at high speed.
Before long, they swiftly converged.
Boom!
Just as the nine dragons were about to intertwine, a loud bang echoed in the air, causing them to simultaneously burst apart and vanish.
Puff!
At the same time, Billy spat out a mouthful of blood, his body forcefully retreating thirty steps before stabilizing.
Clearly, he had failed!
However, a faint smile appeared on his face.
After breaking through to the second-rank Divine Realm, the effect this time was much stronger than before.
Last time he practiced, the nine dragons had burst before converging, but this time, he was only one step away.
Subsequently, Billy took out a Chi Condensing Pill and consumed it before sitting down to recover.
“Let’s try again!”
About an hour later, Billy opened his eyes and stood up.
This time, he held nothing back, exerting his full power.
Whoosh!
As the nine dragons appeared, the air above the valley surged once again.
“Unite!”
Before long, Billy shouted at the top of his lungs.
Whoosh!
The nine dragons spiraled out, shooting up into the sky and quickly merging together.
To Billy’s delight, the scene he had feared did not occur.
Instead, in the blink of an eye, a faintly golden phantom dragon hovered in the air.
It was twice the size of the previous nine dragons, surrounded by thunder, creating a chaotic scene akin to doomsday.
Trees on the mountainside were snapped in half by the force, and the valley was filled with flying debris, a horrifying sight.
Many birds and beasts that couldn’t escape in time directly exploded.
Although the outline of the dragon was not very clear due to Billy’s low cultivation, the imposing manner far exceeded that of the previous nine dragons.
In the next moment, the dragon lifted its head and let out a long roar, preparing for something, its aura escalating.
Although Billy wanted to test the power of ‘Nine Dragons Unite,’ he knew he was not capable.
Displaying the unity of the nine dragons was already his limit, and attempting to attack now would undoubtedly backfire.
Whoosh!
After exhaling heavily, Billy restrained his aura, causing the phantom dragon in the air to dissipate, and the oppressive aura vanished.
“Not bad!”
Billy smiled faintly and sat down cross-legged once more.
Although he knew he couldn’t use this move in combat yet, he was confident that with one more level of advancement, he could attempt it.
After taking a Chi Condensing Pill and resting, he spent the whole day in the valley, repeatedly practicing the technique.
Despite the disturbance, it didn’t attract much attention as people in the Forbidden Ruins Space seemed accustomed to such occurrences.
In the evening, Billy returned to the hotel.
“Honey!”
Harleen and Opal approached him as he arrived.
“You’re back?” Billy smiled, asking, “How was it? Any findings?”
“Yes!” Harleen nodded, “Opal took us around half of the Extreme City, and we found some manors for sale, more than one.”
“Is that so?” Billy inquired, “What’s the situation?”
“There are three relatively large manors for sale,” Opal explained.
“Two of them are located in the central area of Extreme City, surrounded by commercial districts.”
“The other one is in the west, tens of kilometers away from Lion Syndicate Sect.”
“So, these two are not very ideal.”
Lion Syndicate Sect she mentioned was a top-tier sect in Extreme City!
“Alright!” Billy agreed, “Where is the other one?”
“It’s in the north, about two to three hundred kilometers away from here,” Opal responded.
“It used to be a large family’s ancestral estate, but they moved to an imperial city, leaving it empty.”
“Since the estate is quite spacious, most families do not need such a large space, and it’s slightly small for a sect’s main estate, so it has been vacant.”
“How’s the environment?” Billy nodded.
“The environment is good!” Amber spoke up.
“The estate is located at the foot of a mountain, with pleasant scenery and a vast open area outside the main building, providing a broad view.”
“Within a radius of a hundred kilometers, there is a second-tier sect and a third-tier sect, about a hundred kilometers from the commercial center in the north of the city.”
“It’s quite good, let’s settle for that!” Billy nodded in response.
“Billy Boy, do you want to go and take a look first?” Amber asked.
“No need, you and Opal have seen it!” Billy smiled, “Alright, once it’s settled, I’ll have someone tidy it up, and we can move in within a week at the latest,” Opal replied.
“Alright!” Billy nodded again.
Over the next few days, Opal, Harleen, and others began to attend to the affairs of the manor.
Casey and the others continued their search for the whereabouts of ‘Crazy Beggar’ and familiarized themselves with the situation in Extreme City.
Time passed quickly, and a week flew by in the blink of an eye.
To Billy’s slight surprise, there were no movements from Flying Dragon Sect during these days, everything was calm.
On this morning, everyone gathered at the open space outside the manor in the north of the city.
“Wow, Opal, you guys are amazing, to find such a great place!”
Judge looked around at the scenery, unable to help but exclaim.
Not only him, but including Billy and Casey, everyone had a look of astonishment on their faces.
The scenery here was no less than that of Lord Dragon’s Mansion, and the area was two to three times larger than Lord Dragon’s Mansion.
Upon entering the estate, Billy and his group were once again amazed. It felt like a mini palace, with various ancient buildings richly decorated, a feast for the eyes.
There were dozens of buildings of various sizes inside, enough to accommodate one to two hundred people.
An hour later, after settling their belongings, everyone gathered on the lawn in the center of the courtyard to chat.
“Casey, any news on Crazy Beggar?” Billy asked Casey.
