“If nothing unexpected happens, it should be in a month!” Sanaa responded.
“That’s good!” Billy paused and then continued.
“Miss Sanaa, if there’s nothing else, Stout and I plan to return to the Spacetime Forbidden Room to train. Would you like to join us?”
Previously, when he emerged from the Spacetime Forbidden Room, he thought being a first-rank Heavenly God Realm expert was quite impressive. But now he realized he was still far behind the true powerhouses. Without the Chaos Compass, just dealing with the two Heavenly Emperor Realm experts they encountered today was already very challenging. Therefore, he needed to improve his cultivation as soon as possible.
“Your cultivation is indeed still a bit low. It’s good to take some time to improve it further!” Sanaa nodded. “I won’t go in for now; I have a lot of things to handle. I’ll join you once I’m done.”
“Alright!” Billy replied. “If there’s anything urgent, let me know anytime!”
As he spoke, he summoned his Soulbrand. The Spacetime Forbidden Room had powerful formations, and even a sound transmission stone couldn’t penetrate the Chaos Compass’s shield. If Billy entered the Spacetime Forbidden Room, Sanaa wouldn’t be able to contact him if something happened outside. So, he handed his Soulbrand to Sanaa. This way, even if he was inside the Spacetime Forbidden Room, he could sense it anytime if Sanaa applied a bit of external force to his Soulbrand.
“Okay!” Sanaa nodded and took Billy’s Soulbrand. She knew that by giving her his Soulbrand, Billy was showing absolute trust in her. After all, handing over one’s Soulbrand was akin to giving one’s life to the other person; if the other had malicious intent, they could easily destroy his soul.
“Miss Sanaa, take this bottle of Fountain of Eternal Life and share it with Miss Fairy and the others.” Billy took out a large bottle of Fountain of Eternal Life from his storage ring and handed it to Sanaa.
“Where did you get the Fountain of Eternal Life?” Sanaa was slightly surprised. She knew what the Fountain of Eternal Life was; it was a precious treasure for anyone. Although it didn’t grant true immortality, it did extend one’s lifespan significantly.
“Did you go to Avici Hell?” Sanaa asked after a pause.
“Yes!” Billy smiled and briefly explained Freya’s situation to Sanaa.
“Your luck is truly extraordinary!” Sanaa didn’t stand on ceremony with Billy and accepted the Fountain of Eternal Life.
After talking for a while, Billy and Stout entered the Spacetime Forbidden Room to train. As for training resources, they were no longer a concern. Although they had given some to Harleen and others last time, Stout’s storage ring still had plenty left, enough for them to train for hundreds of years.
After entering the Spacetime Forbidden Room, Harleen and Ivy had just finished their training session. Seeing Billy and Stout, they quickly approached.
“Billy, Stout!”
“Billy!”
“Harleen, Ivy, not bad!” Billy checked their cultivation levels and raised an eyebrow slightly.
“It’s not us; it’s the Spacetime Forbidden Room that’s amazing!” Harleen smiled and asked, “Billy, what’s the situation outside?”
“The matters within the ninth-tier star domain are mostly settled. If nothing unexpected happens, we’ll head to the Shattered Realm in a month!” Billy smiled and explained the situation outside.
“Harleen, Ivy, did you see the old master and Boss’s father when you arrived in Heavenly Realm City?” Stout asked.
“No!” Ivy shook her head. “When we arrived in Heavenly Realm City, they had already gone to the Shattered Realm.”
“Do you know how Boss’s father became the leader of Heaven Alliance?” Stout continued.
“They shouldn’t have been in the ninth-tier star domain for long. When we left the first-tier star domain, they hadn’t been gone for long either.”
“Even if Heaven Alliance had experts who took them directly from the first-tier star domain through Voidrend, they would have only arrived about ten years before us.”
“We asked Fairy and Miss Sanaa about this. They didn’t give details but mentioned it had something to do with Ether Mountain’s ancestor and the Stuart family’s ancestor,” Ivy said.
“Could Ether Mountain’s ancestor and the Stuart family’s ancestor still be alive?” Stout was surprised. “Are they also in the ninth-tier star domain?”
“Not sure!” Ivy shook her head. “You’d have to ask Fairy and Miss Sanaa for specifics.”
“Alright!” Stout shrugged.
The four continued chatting for a while before resuming their training.
Time passed quickly; twenty days outside felt like a blink of an eye. However, inside the Spacetime Forbidden Room, over twenty years had passed. With abundant training resources, everyone’s cultivation levels had advanced significantly.
Harleen and Opal had entered earlier than Billy and Stout, so their breakthroughs were more substantial. This day, after finishing their training session, Billy and the others gathered for a chat. Just as they started talking, Billy sensed a wave of Psychic Power in his mind and frowned slightly.
“Billy, what’s wrong?” Harleen noticed Billy’s reaction.
“There might be trouble outside!” Billy replied thoughtfully. He knew it was a signal from Sanaa through his Soulbrand.
“Trouble outside?” Stout echoed.
“Yes!” Billy nodded. “Let’s go check it out!”
He led everyone out of the Spacetime Forbidden Room and returned to the palace hall they were in before.
“Billy Boy!” Shortly after, Sanaa hurried in with a serious expression on her face.
“Miss Sanaa, has something happened?” Billy asked as they approached her.
“Indeed, something has happened!” Sanaa nodded.
As she spoke, she roughly assessed Billy and the others’ cultivation levels and was visibly impressed. Harleen and Opal had reached first-rank Heavenly Emperor Realm; Amber and Ivy were half-step Heavenly Emperor Realm experts; Night Orchid and Frostblade had advanced to ninth-rank Heavenly God Realm. Billy and Stout had also broken through to first-rank Heavenly Emperor Realm experts despite their recent significant advancements.
Even though Sanaa knew how extraordinary the Spacetime Forbidden Room was, she was still shocked by their progress.
“Miss Sanaa, what exactly happened?” Harleen asked.
“We need to depart for the Shattered Realm ahead of schedule!” Sanaa replied.
“I just received a transmission from my elder sister. A day ago, another realm forces suddenly doubled their strength. Heaven Alliance is under immense pressure with severe casualties.”
“If reinforcements don’t arrive soon, they estimate they can only hold out for two or three days at most!”
