That evening, Martin Morris invited Billy and others to have dinner at the palace, and Billy naturally did not refuse.
After dinner, at the moment of parting, Martin Morris gave Billy a large amount of treasures as a reward. Like Marianna Richards of the Ice Cloud Empire, he also gave Billy a national token. After some hesitation, Billy saw the sincerity of the other party and did not refuse anymore.
The next day at noon, Billy and his group returned to Skydragon City.
Marquise Thompson and Isaac Herring had returned two days earlier.
A few days ago, they had fought with the Rainbow Moon Empire army in a camp, and they easily controlled the entire camp. During the process, one or two hundred fellows were injured to varying degrees, but fortunately no one died.
On the second day after returning to Skydragon City, Opal, Casey, and others continued to practice in the Gathering Spirit Array. Billy spent half a day upgrading the Gathering Spirit Array, and everyone could clearly feel that the spiritual aura inside the array was more abundant than before. The construction of Skydragon City was also nearing completion, so Stephanie Stuart, Edie Fennimore, and Sol Stuart all devoted themselves to cultivation.
Time passed quickly, and ten days went by in a blink of an eye. With the current level of the Gathering Spirit Array, staying inside for ten days was equivalent to two to three months of cultivation outside. Therefore, after ten days, everyone broke through without any surprises after refining the treasures brought back from the Rainbow Moon Empire.
With Billy’s help, several people directly broke through two levels.
Casey and Edie Fennimore, in addition to practicing inside the Gathering Spirit Array, were also dragged by Billy to the outskirts for battles to unleash their potential.
Eventually, they broke through the bottleneck and entered the Sacred Realm.
Opal, Amber, and Stephanie Stuart each raised a level with the help of abundant cultivation resources and the Gathering Spirit Array.
Harleen and Ivy advanced to half-step Sacred Realm with Billy’s help.
Azure Fang, Bob, Ian Blade, Felicia, Azure Dragon, and Vermilion Bird also advanced one and a half levels, breaking through to the ninth-rank Divine Realm.
The rest of the people also broke through a level each and glimpsed the dawn of the ninth-rank Divine Realm, estimating that they would break through again soon. During this process, everyone’s proficiency in ‘Blade Shattering the Sky’ and ‘Sword Roaring Across Heaven and Earth’ also improved, basically to the point of being able to confront enemies.
In addition, the eight thousand Skydragon Dark Guards had been practicing tirelessly in the valley during this time. Billy distributed all the cultivation resources he brought back from the Ice Cloud Empire to them, and he improved the gathering spiritual factor of that array.
As a result, the vast majority of them broke through, with lower cultivation bases advancing faster.
Billy was confident that given some time, the Skydragon Dark Guards would definitely become a symbol of Skydragon City!
“Boss, Elder Isaac is here!” That morning, Stout led Isaac Herring from outside the estate to the manor. “Elder Isaac!” Billy and Casey went to greet him.
“Mr Billy, there is news about the Millennium Phoenix Feather Fruit!” Isaac Herring said after approaching. “Oh?” Billy’s eyes lit up.
“According to the feedback from my old friend, there will be an auction at the Medicine Hall in three days, and the highlight will be the Millennium Phoenix Feather Fruit!” Isaac Herring continued.
“Really?!” Casey, Azure Fang, and others showed a hint of joy on their faces.
“Yes!” Isaac Herring nodded.
“That’s great!” Harleen and others were delighted.
“Isaac Herring, can you brief us on the situation in Desire City, including the background of the Medicine Hall?” Billy then asked Isaac Herring.
“Okay!” Isaac Herring nodded and began to introduce.
It took about half an hour to describe in detail all the information he knew.
After listening to his description, everyone had a more comprehensive understanding of Desire City.
Desire City, like the former Extreme City, had dozens of sects, large and small, in addition to a few big families. The most powerful force was a sect called Wind Rain Sect, and the Medicine Hall was a branch of the Wind Rain Sect. Although Wind Rain Sect was a top-notch sect, its overall strength was much higher than that of the Lion Syndicate Sect in Extreme City.
It was rumored that the number one powerhouse in the sect had recently broken through to the first-rank Sacred Realm.
“Mr Billy, when do you plan to go?” Isaac Herring then asked Billy. “The day after tomorrow afternoon, we will go there to stay overnight and then attend the auction the next day!” Billy replied after some thought.
“Okay!” Isaac Herring nodded. “I’ll go back and prepare, and I’ll go with you the day after tomorrow!”
“No need for Elder Isaac to make a special trip!” Billy smiled. “It’s just attending an auction, nothing major.”
“You stay in Skydragon City, there are still many things here that need your attention!”
“Okay!” Isaac Herring thought for a moment and did not insist further. He knew very well about the current strength of Billy and others. Even if something happened in places like Desire City, it wouldn’t cause too much trouble.
After all, with Billy’s ability to easily kill someone in the fifth-rank Sacred Realm, who in Desire City could pose a threat to him?
Later, after telling Billy the name and address of his friend in Desire City, Isaac Herring bid farewell and left.
“Boss, are all of us going the day after tomorrow?” Judge asked Billy after Isaac Herring left.
“We don’t need that many people to go!” Billy replied. “Casey, Harleen, Ivy, Azure Fang, and Stout will go with me!”
“Billy Boy, I’m going with you!” Opal and Amber spoke simultaneously.
“You two don’t need to go!” Billy smiled in response. “We’re not sure what the Crimson Flame Empire will do next, so we need to be cautious in Skydragon City. Desire City is a small place; there shouldn’t be any risk. We’ll come back after getting the Millennium Phoenix Feather Fruit.”
“Okay!” Opal nodded after some thought. Skydragon City did need someone to stay, and they couldn’t afford another incident like last time.
“Boss, should we go with you?” Azure Dragon and White Tiger asked at the same time.
“None of you should go, stay at home and practice properly!” Billy replied. “After I get the Millennium Phoenix Feather Fruit to heal Frostblade, we will go to the ‘Star Secret Space’ together.”
“Okay!” Azure Dragon and the others replied.
Two days later in the afternoon, Billy and his group of six appeared in Desire City. Desire City was a lawless area without walls, so the entire area could be flown over.
Around five in the evening, they landed in an open space in the eastern part of Desire City.
This place was only twenty to thirty kilometers away from the central area of Desire City.
