In the following days, everyone stayed in the Gathering Spirit Array, neglecting sleep and food.
As expected, with the help of supreme-grade Elemental Pills and the high-level Gathering Spirit Array, everyone’s cultivation improved.
Opal advanced directly to the sixth-rank Holy Realm, while Casey and Opal both stepped into the fifth rank.
Others at least broke through one and a half levels.
Judge, Soul Chaser, and Alex Long each advanced two levels, reaching the third rank.
Azure Dragon, Azure Fang, Bob, and Ian Blade were on the verge of reaching the fifth rank.
As for Billy himself, with the help of his bloodline power, he refined two Elemental Pills consecutively.
Additionally, with the restoration of Purple Spirit’s source energy, his absorption speed of spiritual energy from heaven and earth improved significantly.
Thus, within a few days, Billy broke through the bottleneck of the fifth rank and entered the late stage of the sixth-rank Holy Realm.
He and Purple Spirit complemented each other; Purple Spirit’s source energy restoration helped him absorb spiritual energy faster, thereby improving his cultivation.
As his cultivation improved, his bloodline power grew stronger, effectively aiding Purple Spirit in restoring its source energy.
White Feather also didn’t idle during these days. With Billy’s help, its injuries healed by another ten percent.
Moreover, Billy had Stout give it over twenty high-level spiritual fruits to refine.
After a few days, Billy could clearly feel that White Feather’s combat power had significantly increased.
At noon that day, Billy and his group emerged from the Gathering Spirit Array and went to chat in the courtyard of the City Lord’s Mansion.
“Mr Billy!” Just as they started chatting, Jorge Craft and Kian George walked in quickly, their faces slightly grave.
“Mr Craft, Elder Kian!” Billy led the group to greet them.
“Mr Billy, Holy Heaven Sect is about to take action!” Jorge Craft said to Billy.
“Are you sure?” Billy was slightly taken aback.
“The Akabuchi Chamber of Commerce specifically sent someone to inform me; it shouldn’t be false!” Jorge Craft nodded.
“They estimate that Holy Heaven Sect’s army will arrive at Sky City within an hour at the latest!”
“So soon?” Billy frowned slightly and then asked, “Is there a place where we can intercept them?”
Sky City had a population of tens of millions. If the main battlefield were chosen within Sky City, it would lead to massive casualties.
“There is!” Jorge Craft nodded.
“If nothing unexpected happens, just like a hundred years ago, they will set up their teleportation array in Cloudsea Valley. We can intercept them there.”
“Cloudsea Valley?” Billy was slightly taken aback.
“Yes!” Jorge Craft nodded again.
“Cloudsea Valley is located in the northern suburbs of Sky City. It’s a relatively wide basin surrounded by mountains. Because it’s shrouded in mist all year round, it got its name.”
“Additionally, Cloudsea Valley is a rather special place!”
“What do you mean?” Azure Dragon asked.
“The spiritual energy within a radius of several kilometers around Cloudsea Valley is much more abundant than in other parts of Sky City,” Jorge Craft continued.
“Therefore, many disciples from various sects in Sky City choose the nearby mountains as their primary training ground.”
“Oh?” Billy was once again taken aback and asked, “Do you know why?”
“I’m not very clear!” Jorge Craft shook his head.
“Before this, Cloudsea Valley had always been occupied by the Hatfield clan. Others could only train in the nearby mountains and couldn’t enter the core area, so the exact reason is unknown!”
After a slight pause, he added another sentence.
“However, as far as I know, it’s because there might be a spirit stone lode beneath Cloudsea Valley.”
“Is that so?” Billy’s eyes lit up.
After speaking, he continued, “Let’s go. Let’s see who Holy Heaven Sect will send this time!”
For him, although he had no confidence at all, this battle was clearly unavoidable!
“Mr Billy, Holy Heaven Sect’s main target is the treasure on you. You must be careful!” Kian George reminded him.
“Thank you for the reminder, Elder Kian!” Billy nodded.
About twenty minutes later, the group arrived at the entrance of Cloudsea Valley.
Billy and his group looked around and saw that many people were already waiting on site.
Besides the strong members of Ethereal Sect and Guardian Alliance, there were people from other major sects in Sky City. The total number was around a thousand.
In such a high-level battle, victory couldn’t be achieved by sheer numbers alone; hence not many people came.
Billy roughly examined everyone’s cultivation levels and secretly marveled that nearly half were at the Holy Realm level. The weakest were at mid-stage Sacred Realm strength.
Such a lineup was far stronger than what they had faced in Forbidden Ruins Space!
This was all because the original City Lord’s Mansion was unpopular and couldn’t unite these people together.
Otherwise, City Lord’s Mansion might have taken over Forbidden Ruins Space long ago!
At this moment, everyone was tense, with a hint of seriousness on their faces.
Everyone knew very well that although their side’s combat power was already strong, their opponents would only be stronger!
One must remember that a hundred years ago, Sky City’s combat power was even stronger than now. Yet before Holy Heaven Sect’s powerhouses, they were almost powerless!
This time would likely be no exception!
“Greeting Sect Master and Elder Kian!” Ethereal Sect Grand Elder Oscar Craft bowed slightly as he approached.
After speaking, he greeted Billy as well.
“Grand Elder, any movement?” Jorge Craft asked.
“Reporting to Sect Master, not yet!” Oscar Craft responded.
“Keep everyone alert; Holy Heaven Sect’s people could appear at any moment!” Jorge Craft nodded slightly.
“Understood!” Oscar Craft responded again.
Then nearly a thousand people moved towards the valley.
Soon after, Billy and his group looked around.
It was a vast valley shrouded in mist. The mist wasn’t very dense; visibility wasn’t low.
The terrain was uneven with scattered trees and oddly shaped rocks on the hillsides. There were also various-sized pools of water.
Interestingly, some of these pools emitted steam like hot springs.
Others had wisps of cold air rising from them, indicating that the water temperature inside was very low.
Two completely different water temperatures in the same area!
As Jorge Craft mentioned earlier, the concentration of spiritual energy here was indeed much higher than in other parts of Sky City.
Although it couldn’t compare to the Gathering Spirit Array, it was definitely more than twice as abundant as elsewhere.
“Billy, there should be a Spiritual Line Origin beneath this ground!”
After walking for a while longer, Purple Spirit’s voice sounded in Billy’s mind, filled with excitement.
“Hmm?!” Billy was taken aback.
Previously when Jorge Craft told him there might be a spirit stone lode beneath Cloudsea Valley, he wasn’t too surprised.
Given how abundant the spiritual energy was here, it made sense for a spirit stone lode to be hidden below.
But now Purple Spirit told him there was a Spiritual Line Origin beneath this place!
This greatly exceeded his expectations!
“Purple Spirit, besides you on this planet, are there other Spiritual Line Origins?”
Billy asked after transferring his consciousness into his sea of knowledge.
