Mystical Journey

"I've spent so many potential points and all I've gotten was such a small increment in physical characteristics. The stats instantly increased to the twenties the moment I entered Resonance! These potential points have been spent…" Garen shook his head. While feeling happy, he also felt unfortunate for using the potential points wrongly.

"The main effect of the potential points should be used on recovery and increasing the technique's abilities instead of increasing my physical characteristics!"

Garen pondered as he walked towards his mansion to retrieve the parcel.

There was a specialized room for the parcel's dimensional jump inside the Planet Naga's mansion.

It was fully automated and didn't require any human intervention.

He walked passed the white corridor, living room and entered into another corridor before taking the elevator down.

He went straight to the 25th floor of the basement.

After a few seconds, the elevator rang.

The silver door opened to the sides and Garen walked out of the elevator as he moved his body about. He needed to get used to the rapid increase in strength and physical attributes in order to unleash his true potential.

"I guess it makes sense. If the Energy Machinists from Planet Naga do not have a way to rapidly increase their physical attributes, how are they able to battle against those Pilots who are able to destroy everything? Although twenty plus points of Strength looks extremely powerful, they're pretty much equal with the Pilots who are at the peak of Resonance Level. Hence, it's not something over-exaggerated."

Garen had thought everything through. It would be weird if there wasn't such a huge increment, otherwise, how would they be able to fight toe to toe with those powerful Pilots? They fused themselves with the Pilots and turned into a cyborg state. Those who stood at the top were able to destroy the whole planet!

As he walked out of the elevator, the first thing he saw was a silver gyroscopic-looking machine. However, it was much more complicated than a gyroscope as the machine had countless small mechanical parts with a small black sphere which kept rotating in the middle.

It was a Miniature Transmission Point.

Garen reached out his hand and gently touched on the black ball.

'Parcel has been received and there is a voice message attached.' The Intelligent System spoke.

In an instant, Accord's voice rang up.

"I've sent the items to you. Don't complain that there's very little them or that they're extremely short. You should do with what you have."

Shuffle!

A black light shone as a small tree branch-liked item levitated in front of the sphere. It was the Staff of Absolute Yin.

However, this Staff of Absolute Yin was rather short.

Garen was speechless as he pinched at the Staff of the Absolute Yin who was thinner than a chopstick and had the length of a thumb.

"I knew I shouldn't have any high expectation in that kid…"

He was at a loss on whether to cry or laugh as what could this puny Staff of Absolute Yin achieve? Its quality was extremely odd as Garen could only feel four or five Potential Points from the item…

He turned around with the item in his hand as he walked towards the elevator. He was firm in scolding him when they met up as he seemed to be not serious about doing his work.

Then, Garen felt a faint threat approaching him from the back. His expression changed as he tried to evade by stepping forward, but he was pulled back by a strong gravitational force.

Garen quickly turned around as he gathered his tremendous strength, preparing to release it.

However, Garen's expression changed the moment he saw what was pulling him in.

Kaboom!!!

"Fuck!!!"

A pile of items the size of a small mountain crashed Garen onto the floor.

Boom!!!

"Accord you bitch!!"

Dust floated about in the room as Garen's voice could be faintly heard underneath the small mountain.

The small mountain was actually endless Staff of Absolute Yin similar to the one before!!

They were so densely packed that no one knew how many they were in that pile!

"Hahaha!!!" Accord's image appeared behind the small mountain as he kept laughing.

"Garen, you do have such a day after all!" He laughed until tears started flowing out and he couldn't stand still. "Did you really believe what I said? You deserve to be crushed to death for believing me!"

Only one of Garen's hands could be seen. He immediately put away his strength as he realized that they were a pile of Staff of Absolute Yins. As he had a strong boost in strength, he wasn't used to it and the moment he tried to put away his strength, he injured himself. To run salt into the wound, he was crushed by a small mountain as well.

"Just you wait!!" Garen's anger could be heard underneath the small mountain.

"Come! Hit me if you have the guts!" Accord laughed maniacally.

Boom… Garen crawled out from the small mountain and felt extremely angry the moment he saw Accord. His dignity had been totally thrown away. However, he looked at the amount of Staff of Absolute Yin that weighed no less than a ton.

"I promise not to kill you based on the amounts you've sent me!!"

He gritted his teeth.

"You!? Pfft!"

Accord then gave him two middle fingers.

Both of them could see the happiness within each other.

"Thanks," Garen's expression turned from anger to a cold smile. "Don't worry, I'll make sure you don't die when the time comes."

"Look who's talking!" Accord laughed.

As Accord's image disappeared in front of him, the smile on Garen's face turned into a genuine smile from deep within him.

He looked at the tiny Staffs of Absolute Yin on the ground. Perhaps it would be more fitting to call these the Branches of Absolute Yin instead of the Staff of Absolute Yin. With so many of them, it was as if they were glowing in Potential Points from Garen's point of view.

"This guy. Can't he send it over in a more normal way?"

He shook his head as he decided to sit in front of the pile of Branches of Absolute Yin. He then quietly reached out his hand and started absorbing the Potential Points.

No matter how these things were stored, they were no match in absorbing Potential Points inside his body.

After two hours, Garen finally pulled away his palms and opened his eyes, staring at the Branches of Absolute Yin, he was very satisfied with the outcome.

This was the most he had absorbed in the past two years.

These pile of branches had given him 652 Potential Points. It was the first time that he had obtained so many points after leaving the Totem World.

As the Branches of Absolute Yin had a dense body, Garen was rather satisfied to be able to absorb so many Potential Points from a ton of these branches.

Without hesitation, Garen stood up and looked at his Genetic Pane.

The Blood Eagle Gene had no other reaction since the last increment.

"This is normal since it is hard for the gene to change once it has settled down. Fortunately, I have a pile of Ancient Gene Liquids which can be used to enhance it once."

He immediately turned around and rushed towards his laboratory. The very thing that he wanted to do now was to continue enhancing his Blood Eagle+2 Gene and see what realm it could achieve.

However, absorbing the Gene Strengthening Liquid was a long process and he needed to prepare a few things before doing so.

************

The Scarlet Snow Planet had become peaceful once again as Garen shut himself away from the rest of the world.

Two years later…

It was winter as snow danced about in the white sky at the peak of Scarlet Snow Planet.

The Flying Ship carrying a new batch of Three Hearted Disciples suddenly shot out from the Dimensional Tunnel. The silver light left behind after the jump of the Flying Ship had covered the entire ship as if it were covered with a layer of silver.

A fleet of black flying ships which resembled the battle jets decreased their speed. There were many guards at the bottom guarding it as it landed at the peak.

Inside the ship were three young disciples admiring the natural snowy beauty outside the plane through the glasses.

"Two of my junior disciples, you've been selected as a unique disciple to train in the home planet. Try not to disappoint the expectations of The Elder," the oldest young man smiled as he told the two disciples who were sitting behind him.

"I will!" Two of them replied without agreeing beforehand.

One of the two disciples had hair as white as snow. His expression was cold, giving off a noble vibe.

The other one had black skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looked very ordinary.

"Especially you, White Night. Your physical attributes are best suited to practice my Scarlet Snow Technique and people like you appear once in a millennium. The Elder has very high expectations of you," the young man looked at the white-haired man and said gently.

"I understand. I will not disappoint The Elder," White Night nodded seriously.

"It's a coincidence that your senior brother and sisters didn't go out recently, so you guys can visit them and learn a thing or two from them. However, you have to take care of yourselves. There are a few of them that you have to be wary of," the young man started to fill them in on the situation.

"One of them is your Great Senior Brother Carthage. He came out from his shut in a year ago and had entered the Inherited Level, commanded all the disciples from the Scarlet Snow Sect to the Void Battle. He came back with a big victory. They fought against the Great Senior Sister of the Blue Frost Sect who was a Non-Falling Level. He is currently shutting himself away from the world to absorb in all the experience during the battle. It's best for you guys to not disturb and visit him," the youngster warned gently. "There are others that you have to be wary of. Not doing this may put your lives in danger."

"Oh?" White Night seemed to be interested. "I came here because I heard that Great Senior Brother Carthage is here. Is there someone else that we need to be wary of?"

"Of course," the youngster smiled. "Among the Three Hearted Disciples, you two are considered to be the weakest. There are three people that you have to be wary of."

"Please enlighten us, senior brother," White Night said coldly. In comparison to the other young man, he had a much colder and calmer personality.

"The first one you need to have your eyes on is the number six senior brother Angola. This senior brother doesn't have a good attitude. Don't say that I didn't warn you if he were to seriously injure you two," the youngster laughed.

"The second one is the number nine Demonic Spirit Solomon. Half a year ago, there was an anomaly when she was learning the Great Cold Night Fist. It's best that you two don't look at her strangely or else don't say that I didn't warn you if she kills you both."

"There is another man, who has just turned into a Three Hearted Disciples just two years ago. He's currently number twelve Garen. He was rumored to be the one who murdered Senior Brother Ron and Senior Brother Barlow two years ago. However, it was unsure why the elder didn't pursue further. It was fortunate that Ron and Barlow had done a lot of bad deeds and their reputations were very bad. Hence, there wasn't much of an uproar. However, one could see that the number twelve is extremely cruel so it's best for you to not mess with him."

"In addition to those, your twelveth senior brother is also our second genius in the Scarlet Snow Sect. He was already a Level Five two years ago before he shut himself away from the rest of the world. I wonder how he is doing now," the youngster added.

"What about the strength between Moonshine and Star Plate? Do we have to be wary of these two?" White Night asked softly.

"There's no need for that as the Moonshine is about to merge into the Star Plate…" The youngster smiled as his eyes glimmered.

White Night and the other black young man's eye glimmered as well as they pondered.

"There haven't been any huge incidents in the past six months so please feel free to learn without any worries. You should make use of the Great Wall Library and Ancestral Temple to further improve yourselves and earn the opportunity to enter the Frost Hell," the young man said as he smiled gently.

"Thank your Senior Brother for your guidance," two of them said politely.

Clank… Clank… Clank…

Suddenly the bell rang at the peak of the snowy mountain from afar.

"What is this? The assembly bell?" The youngster was stunned. "What issue requires the assembly bell?"
