“Leo, tell us about that world,” Violet asked eagerly.
Leo then recounted everything that happened during his journey to the Otherworld. He spoke of slaying Lucas Collins, being hunted by the Bloodsoul Sect, winning the lordship of Clearwind Town at the Zratol auction, defeating the Water and Fire Dual Heroes, driving away Elder Bloodmoon, and destroying the Golden family.
Leo had no reason to hide anything from Violet and the others.
“This Bloodsoul Sect really is our enemy,” Violet said angrily, clenching her small fists.
Previously, it was members of the Bloodsoul Sect who invaded Earth, causing significant destruction and many deaths.
“You severely injured Elder Bloodmoon; the Bloodsoul Sect won’t let this go,” Jennifer said with a frown.
“Why should we fear them? Since they are our enemies, we will destroy them!” Christian said coldly.
“Haha, exactly,” Holden laughed heartily.
“You two warmongers,” Jennifer said with a teasing smile.
Leo said, “The path of cultivation is like this; we will always face strong opponents. Since we have an irreconcilable enmity with the Bloodsoul Sect, let them become the first stepping stone for our Seven Stars Sect.”
“Yes, Sect Master!” Holden, Violet, and the others responded in unison.
“By the way, I brought gifts for everyone this time,” Leo said with a smile.
“Gifts?”
Hearing the word “gifts,” Violet, Holden, Jennifer, and the others couldn’t help but show excitement and anticipation in their eyes.
“Leo, what gifts?” Violet asked excitedly, her beautiful eyes blinking.
Leo reached into his Storage Sack with his right hand and pulled out a light and thin red silk gauze. “Violet, this is for you.”
The red silk gauze was adorned with images of firebirds flying through flames, with fire runes flowing among them. It looked very beautiful.
“So pretty,” Violet said as she quickly took the red silk gauze, her pretty face full of surprise and joy.
“This item is called Mysterious Fire Lingering Gauze. It’s a top-grade spiritual weapon that can be used for both attack and defense, perfect for you,” Leo explained.
Leo had found the Mysterious Fire Lingering Gauze in Fierce Fire’s Storage Sack after killing him. It was unknown which female cultivator Fierce Fire had robbed it from, but it was just right for Violet.
“Thank you, Leo!” Violet said happily.
“Holden, this is for you.” With a wave of his right hand, two swords appeared before Leo.
One sword was fiery red with flame patterns all over it and a sharp flame eye on its hilt. The other sword sparkled with lightning and had a lightning eagle eye on its hilt.
These two swords were the Thunderfire Twin Swords that Leo had bought at an auction.
“Thank you, Sect Master!” Holden said with a look of joy.
“Jennifer, this is for you.” Leo turned his gaze to Jennifer and then took out a scroll emitting a faint moonlight glow.
As soon as the Spirit Scroll appeared, it seemed as if a new moon rose in everyone’s vision.
Jennifer’s beautiful eyes lit up.
“This Spirit Scroll contains a technique called ‘Clear Shadow Spirit Moon,’ which should be suitable for your cultivation,” Leo said with a smile.
“Thank you, Leo,” Jennifer said, nodding as she took the scroll.
“I have many more techniques here. I will place them in the library. You can take what you need for your cultivation,” Leo told everyone.
“Yes, Sect Master!” everyone responded in unison.
“Aimee, this is for you.”
“Christian, this is yours…”
Leo had prepared gifts for all the high-ranking members of the Seven Stars Sect without leaving anyone out.
Night fell.
A full moon hung in the sky, casting its light everywhere.
The entire Seven Stars Sect was brightly lit and bustling with activity.
In the large Martial Arts Square were long rows of wooden tables.
The tables were laden with various meats and medicinal feasts, as well as spirit fruits, filling the air with rich aromas.
Most of the disciples of the Seven Stars Sect were gathered there.
That night, the Seven Stars Sect held a sect banquet.
The purpose of holding such a banquet was naturally to enhance unity among the disciples within the sect.
After the banquet, Leo announced that three days later, the sect would hold its first grand competition and set rewards for the top thirty participants.
For the sect to develop, competitions and rewards were essential. They also served as a means to encourage disciples to train harder.
Three days later, the training ground was crowded with people.
After a whole day of competition, the top thirty were determined.
Leo generously rewarded the outstanding disciples within the sect without holding back.
After the competition ended, the disciples of the Seven Stars Sect became even more enthusiastic about their training.
Ten days later in the morning, Leo led seven people from the Seven Stars Sect and flew towards West Sea.
Besides Leo, there were Violet, Holden, Jennifer, Aimee, Christian, Serene, and Ellis-eight people in total.
“Leo, when we get there, should we go to Clearwind Town first?” Violet asked expectantly beside Leo.
Leo thought for a moment and said, “We’ll train in Azure Dragon Mountains first. Once we control Lord’s Manor, we can gradually bring over our sect disciples.”
Before long, they arrived above the vast sea of West Sea and stopped outside a spatial rift.
“We’re going to another world; I’m so excited!” Violet said happily.
With a pat on his Storage Sack, Leo released a silver stream of light that quickly expanded into a small boat capable of carrying more than ten people.
“Let’s go to Awakened Continent!” Leo smiled as he stepped onto Timeship.
Having companions along was a completely different feeling for Leo compared to being alone.
Violet, Holden, and the others quickly boarded Timeship.
Once everyone was seated on Timeship, Leo cast a spell. Timeship turned into a stream of light and entered the spatial rift.
After passing through an icy small world within the rift, Timeship entered a temporal passageway.
For those seeing a temporal passageway for the first time, it was an astonishing sight.
Pointing ahead, Leo said, “That’s Voidstorm. It’s very powerful and often encountered in temporal passageways.”
“A Voidstorm in a temporal passageway is similar to a sandstorm in a desert; it’s very dangerous. Without the protection of a spatial boat, it’s difficult to successfully traverse a temporal passageway.”
After about half an hour, Timeship passed through the temporal passageway. Light appeared ahead and grew increasingly brighter.
This indicated they were about to reach a new world. Everyone’s eyes showed curiosity and anticipation.
With a swish, Timeship emerged from the spatial rift.
Above the vast Southern Marches grassland appeared a silver flying boat descending from seemingly nowhere.
