“The damage to your source energy, Purple Spirit, how did it happen?” Billy changed the topic.
“It’s all because of the reckless destruction of the environment by humans!” Purple Spirit pouted. “They are harming themselves!”
“If it weren’t for you, in a few more years, when I can no longer resonate with this universe, the spiritual energy of this planet would gradually deplete.”
“By then, the entire planet would become a dead land, and they would no longer be able to survive here!”
“Understood!” Billy paused and continued, “So, how is your source energy recovery going?”
“I have only repaired a portion of it, it will take some more time!” Purple Spirit responded.
“I saw earlier that you were quite capable of fighting. Do you know your combat strength?” Billy casually asked.
“I don’t know my exact combat strength!” Purple Spirit shook its head.
“But, not to discourage you, Billy, even if I have only partially restored my source energy, you are still not my match.”
“Although your potential is limitless, you are not there yet!”
“…” Billy’s mouth twitched. “Do you know what power level I possess?”
“I am inside your body, do you think I don’t know?” Purple Spirit retorted.
“Alright!” Billy’s mouth twitched again.
He didn’t expect to be looked down upon by a spirit!
He was still too weak!
“Oh, by the way, Purple Spirit, can you sense if there are other people or things in my body?” Billy suddenly remembered this.
“What do you mean?” Purple Spirit was puzzled. “There are other things in your body?”
“I’m just guessing, can you help me check?” Billy continued.
“There shouldn’t be, right? If there were, how could I not sense it? Let me try!” Purple Spirit said and fell silent.
“Hmm?!”
After about a quarter of an hour, Purple Spirit let out a surprised voice.
“Purple Spirit, what happened?” Billy asked.
“Billy, there really is something else in your body!” Purple Spirit responded after a slight pause.
“Really? Can you see what it is?” Billy’s eyes lit up.
“I don’t know what it is. I only see a cluster of white energy. I can’t see what’s inside!” Purple Spirit shook its head.
“I dare not get closer. As soon as I get a little closer, I feel a very strong suction force pulling me towards the energy cluster.”
Purple Spirit’s tone revealed a hint of fear!
“In that case, don’t get any closer!” Billy responded.
Hearing Purple Spirit’s words, he thought of the old man’s soul from before. Most likely, he had been sucked into the energy cluster.
But wasn’t that old man very powerful? How could he be taken care of?
Now he was quite interested in that so-called treasure. What exactly was it?
“Billy, I feel that thing is extremely dangerous!” Purple Spirit paused for a moment before continuing, “You should find a way to get rid of it!”
“… ” Billy’s mouth twitched. He wanted to get rid of it, but he couldn’t even sense its presence. How could he get rid of it?
“I forgot, Billy. You can’t sense its presence now, so you probably can’t get rid of it.” Purple Spirit remembered this and continued after a slight pause.
“Billy, you should focus on cultivating and when your cultivation reaches a certain level, you should be able to sense it.”
“Your current cultivation level is too low. I won’t disturb you anymore. Hurry up and cultivate!”
After saying this, there was no more sound.
“… ” Billy’s mouth twitched and he withdrew his spiritual consciousness from his sea of knowledge.
In the following days, besides consolidating his cultivation, Billy mainly focused on three things.
Firstly, he engraved ‘Nine Dragons Unite’ on the weapons of Stephanie Stuart and others. With his current cultivation level, the power of Nine Dragons Unite was enough to easily kill mid-level Holy Realm experts!
On the other hand, he also mass-produced a batch of ‘bamboo section man’. The ‘bamboo section man’ he produced now had the attack power of mid-late-stage Sacred Realm experts. Their defense was even more abnormal. Unless a Holy Realm expert made a move, they would not be harmed at all!
The third thing was to enhance the defensive ability of the city protection formation. After another ten days of busy work, the city protection formation had been upgraded by one level. It would now take at least a mid-level Holy Realm expert to forcefully break through it.
On this morning, Billy was busy cultivating at the northern mansion.
Suddenly, an extremely terrifying pressure enveloped the entire sky.
Even Billy felt an immense oppressive feeling and couldn’t help but take a deep breath before looking up at the sky.
“Billy!”
Not long after, Stephanie Stuart and the others walked out from the Gathering Spirit Array with serious expressions on their faces.
Everyone knew that what they had been waiting for had finally arrived!
“Mm!” Billy nodded slightly and gave instructions.
“Mom, Aunt Edie, go inform Elder Marquise and Elder Isaac. Have all the guards take their positions. Without my orders, no one is allowed to leave the city!”
“Opal, you and Amber along with Casey activate the city protection formation!”
“Stout, Judge, take the batch of ‘bamboo section man’ with you!”
This time, apart from these people around him, Billy didn’t plan to let anyone else directly participate in the battle.
He knew very well that the forces from Sky City were definitely not on the same level as Blood and Devil Sects.
Allowing others to join the battle would only result in unnecessary sacrifices without any other benefits!
As for the ordinary citizens in the city, after the previous battle with Blood and Devil Sects, Billy didn’t let them return. They were still staying within the Rainbow Moon Empire and Sheardal Empire territories.
“Understood!” everyone responded simultaneously and quickly left.
Just as everyone left, the flying beast flew out from the house.
During this period of time, Billy had specially arranged a small building for it to reside in under Stout’s arrangement.
“White Feather, another war is about to begin!” Billy looked at the flying beast and spoke.
‘White Feather,’ named after its white feathers. This was the name Billy gave to the flying beast and it seemed to accept it willingly.
White Feather chirped and nodded its head.
Then, together with White Feather, they flew towards the outskirts of the city.
Before long, they arrived at an open space about forty to fifty kilometers away from the city. Billy looked up at the nearby sky.
He saw a group of thirty to forty people within his line of sight.
The number of people on their side was fewer than what Billy expected.
But after thinking about it for a moment, he felt relieved. This level of battle wasn’t about quantity but quality. Having more people wouldn’t make much difference.
At the same time, Stephanie Stuart and Opal landed behind Billy one after another.
In addition to everyone else, there were fifty ‘bamboo section man’, each holding a bamboo blade in their hands.
Before long, the group of forty people landed a few hundred meters away from them.
Leading them was a black-robed elder named Legend Hatfield. His actual age couldn’t be determined and his cultivation level couldn’t be detected either.
Following closely behind him was a man in black robes. If Valentin Fuller and Vance Delaney hadn’t died, one could easily recognize that this man was the one who had poisoned them.
Billy couldn’t sense this man’s martial aura either. From this alone, he knew that this man was at least at the mid-level Holy Realm.
Behind the black-robed man were three men and two women dressed in gray robes. Their faces showed no expression. All five of them possessed mid-level Holy Realm strength.
Behind them were over thirty men and women with varying cultivation levels but without exception, all were at the Holy Realm!
Truly worthy of being Sky City’s number one force; they could easily mobilize forty to fifty Holy Realm experts at will.
No wonder people from Blood and Devil Sects willingly submitted. This kind of strength was enough to crush their two sects.
“So you are the so-called Ether Mountain Young Master?” Legend Hatfield looked at Billy and spoke indifferently.
