To accompany Leo, one needed to be at the Spirit God Realm. Even a half-step Spirit God Realm expert would be of no use against the Galactic Dynasty. However, among the Martial Dynasty and its neighboring kingdoms, there were no other Spirit God Realm experts besides Leo.
Seeing the puzzled expressions of those around him, Leo smiled slightly. He released a small amount of spiritual energy, forming a jade orb the size of a baby’s fist, and then imprinted it with a trace of his consciousness.
“Holden, take this to Star Moon Lake and inform the Sea Serpent King to come to Starstream Hollow in three days,” Leo instructed Holden.
“The Sea Serpent King?” Holden was taken aback.
“Leo, is your helper the Sea Serpent King from Star Moon Lake?” Violet’s adorable face was full of surprise.
Leo chuckled and said, “On Pill Sovereign Island, I signed a master-servant contract with the Sea Serpent King. I estimate that he has now reached the Demon Saint Realm.”
Back on Pill Sovereign Island, the Sea Serpent King had obtained a Sacred Golden Elixir. At that time, he was already at the half-step Demon Saint Realm. After consuming the Sacred Golden Elixir, he should have been able to truly enter the Demon Saint Realm.
Leo’s words reassured everyone considerably. A Demon Saint Realm beast would be a tremendous asset.
Holden took the jade orb and nodded, “Sect Master, I will head to Star Moon Lake right away.”
“In these three days, I need to seclude myself to refine a Spirit Treasure. You all may go,” Leo instructed.
“Yes, Sect Master,” Alondra and the others responded in unison.
After everyone left, Leo’s gaze swept over the valley below. The once lush valley was now scarred by the massive Thunder Tribulation, with several large craters marring its surface. However, fixing these craters would not be difficult.
Of course, Leo didn’t have time to deal with them now. His eyes fell on a distant pavilion in the rear mountains.
With a single step, Leo appeared in the pavilion and sat cross-legged. Time was tight, but before heading to the Galactic Dynasty, he needed to enhance his strength as much as possible.
With a wave of his right hand, an icy white light orb flew out from his Storage Sack and hovered in front of him. As soon as it appeared, a chill spread out, covering everything within hundreds of feet in frost.
As the light dimmed, a beautifully carved longbow with ancient patterns emerged. This longbow was the Frost God Bow, a Spirit Treasure Leo had obtained on Pill Sovereign Island.
Leo had once used this bow with the Ancient Tyrant Pill Sovereign to severely wound the Sea Serpent King. Before heading to the Galactic Dynasty, he had to refine the Frost God Bow.
Besides the Frost God Bow, Leo also had the Spirit Flame Alchemy Furnace given to him by the Ancient Tyrant Pill Sovereign. Refining it would have to wait for later.
The Frost God Bow was an ice-type Spirit Treasure. Since Leo possessed the Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus, refining it should be much quicker.
Taking a deep breath to calm himself and clear his mind of distractions, Leo focused his thoughts. A drop of crimson essence blood floated out and flew toward the Frost God Bow.
When the essence blood landed on the Frost God Bow, it emitted a humming sound.
“With spirit blood as a guide, consecrate the artifact!” Leo shouted softly as his hands formed seals.
The essence blood on the Frost God Bow began to seep into it at a visible speed.
Soon, a delicate small bow pattern appeared within a faint red halo-the tool spirit within the Frost God Bow had emerged.
Once the essence blood fully saturated the small bow pattern, the blood consecration would be complete.
Leo closed his eyes slightly as spiritual energy surged from within him, enveloping the Frost God Bow. He focused his mind entirely on refining it.
Three days passed swiftly. On the fourth day, as dawn broke through the clouds and bathed everything in light, Leo slowly opened his eyes in the pavilion.
By this time, the small bow pattern within the halo emitted by the Frost God Bow was completely saturated with essence blood.
In an instant, icy white light flared up brightly, illuminating everything within hundreds of feet.
The blood consecration was complete. Now he only needed to imprint it with his consciousness for full refinement.
Consciousness flowed from Leo’s brow and enveloped the Frost God Bow entirely before imprinting it with his unique mark.
Once imprinted, the Frost God Bow hummed again. At that moment, Leo could clearly feel that he was now in perfect harmony with it.
Spirit Treasures were far more sentient than spiritual weapons. Even if separated by thousands of miles, as long as its master willed it, a Spirit Treasure would automatically return.
Moreover, with just a thought from Leo, the Frost God Bow could attack autonomously. Of course, its power would be much weaker than when wielded by hand.
Extending his right hand, Leo summoned the Frost God Bow into his grasp. Looking at the icy white longbow in his hand, Leo smiled slightly.
This was the first Spirit Treasure he had refined since reaching the Spirit God Realm. He wondered how powerful it would be when fully unleashed.
Filled with anticipation, Leo placed the Frost God Bow back into his Storage Sack. Standing up and stretching his body, he gazed outside the pavilion.
The morning sunlight poured down, filling all of Starstream Hollow with light.
With a step forward and a ripple in space around him, Leo reappeared on Seven Stars Plaza.
On the plaza, a thousand disciples of Seven Stars Sect sat cross-legged with spiritual energy radiating from them as they cultivated diligently. These disciples were working hard; they were the future of Seven Stars Sect. A sect could not rely on just one strong individual; true strength lay in an entire sect’s prosperity.
At the forefront of the plaza stood Violet in her fiery red dress. She too was meditating with her eyes closed as dense fire spiritual energy gathered around her body.
Sensing Leo’s arrival, Violet opened her eyes slightly.
Violet stood up and approached Leo with a smile: “Leo, have you refined your Spirit Treasure?”
Leo nodded with a smile: “Today is the day of Galactic Dynasty’s Reverence Ceremony?”
“Yes,” Violet nodded again with a hint of worry in her eyes.
Leo ruffled Violet’s hair playfully. “Don’t worry; if we can’t win, we’ll retreat and I’m not alone.”
As they spoke, Leo’s gaze suddenly sharpened as he looked toward a certain direction in mid-air.
At that moment, when Leo looked over, there came an overwhelming domineering aura descending upon them.
In the forests of Starstream Hollow, countless demonic beasts lay prostrate on the ground, shivering in fear.
The powerful aura was not concealed in the slightest. It directly arrived above the Seven Stars Sect and enveloped the entire sect.
On the square, the disciples who were practicing cultivation all opened their eyes, and their faces couldn’t help but show nervousness.
There was no one in the air, but this overwhelming aura that enveloped the entire Seven Stars Sect was no weaker than the aura released by Makhi that day.
In other parts of the Seven Stars Sect, Holden, Jennifer and others also flew towards the Seven Stars Plaza one after another.
“Humph, Sea Serpent King, this is not the place for you to show off your might,” Leo snorted coldly, and the aura in his body gushed out.
The powerful aura that had enveloped the Seven Stars Sect completely dissipated.
