The next day.

Theo opened his eyes gently. He had been testing things since yesterday. In front of him was his daughter, who ended up falling asleep during the meditation. But he couldn’t be angry at her, considering it was better for a child to sleep instead of staying up all night.

Theo also noticed that Mia managed to complete the thin version, which only required her to stabilize and thicken it. Mia finished this step first before falling asleep.

Meanwhile, Theo noticed three major concerns after all the tests. The first one would be what would happen if this was damaged.

The cultivator would lose all their cultivation if their Dantian was destroyed. But what Theo created wasn’t related to one’s strength. It was like a balloon in charge of storing essence, nothing else. But this amount of essence would burst out if someone popped it.

So, he wondered if it would injure them or not.

Then again, the inside was filled with essence. If it popped out, only essence would leak. As long as he maintained a certain level of essence inside, the pressure wouldn’t cause a burst of energy.

The second problem would be the rate of the absorption. It was true that after creating the Dantian, his assimilation rate increased by at least two times. However, the cultivation he had was a low level cultivation technique. Hence, the rate of energy that entered his body was quite low.

If they had a high level cultivation technique, he might be able to boost the assimilation rate by five times. Coupled with Mia’s artifact, it would become even faster.

But he wondered if it was possible to acquire a high level cultivation technique or not.

Last but not least, he realized that assimilation required pure essence. In other words, any cultivation technique that had a special element in it wouldn’t work. So, this would make them have a hard time finding the correct technique to incorporate.

"Nonetheless, I will definitely bring this information back to the Demon Realm. If we can incorporate this, I think that is enough to create a stir in that world, right?" Theo grinned. He was ready to create a storm in the Demon Realm a few months later.

Before leaving the room, Theo used this opportunity to reply to the comments.

"Yeah. After a whole night, I can confirm that it’s better." Theo nodded in satisfaction before looking at the next comment. "What do I think? That’s a rather hard question.

"I often see Adam_Balch_7324 and Xinhuan, so I can say for sure that their support means a whole world to me… like literally. Without their support, the story about me in my original world won’t even be completed. I know it because they speak as if they know a lot about me.

"While I don’t want to say it, it’s rather uncomfortable to have no privacy. I don’t know how much detail the author put into the story, but I’m sure that everyone will feel restless if they’re in my position. But knowing that these people are supporting me, cheering for me, and witnessing my growth, I’m grateful to them.

"Of course, it doesn’t mean I don’t respect others who know me only in this story. In fact, I want to know what you all think about me. Am I ruthless? Kind? Pushover? Only by knowing it can I change for the better and I hope that we can witness it together."

Theo smiled, recalling what happened in his original world. It had been truly a long journey, but this wasn’t the end yet. That was why he continued to the next comment. "Well, she’s just a spoiled kid. Not a big deal."

After replying to the comments, he left the room silently, only to find Yue Yi cleaning the entire living room.

"Hmm?" Theo was quite surprised that she would do this.

"Good morning, your lord… ahem, Teacher Theo." Yue Yi politely greeted Theo.

"Oh?!" Theo thought that this was just the true nature of Yue Yi. She must have remembered her past and somehow did it out of reflex. Nonetheless, he had to warn Yue Yi since not all information should be shared.

"Yue Yi. Do you have time? I need to talk to you."

"Yes, Sir. I have all the time you need." Yue Yi hurriedly hid the cloth she used to clean the floor behind her.

"It’s nothing much. You just have to hide what we’re talking about yesterday, especially the war. If more and more people are aware of it before its time, the possibility of it happening will just increase. So, it’s better if your master remains ignorant for the time being."

"But…" Yue Yi looked down. "…I can’t really lie to my master."

"Of course, I’m not telling you to lie. I just ask you to hide it. You won’t need to lie if she doesn’t ask, right?"

"Ah!"

"So, this is our secret for the time being. But when there is a sign of war happening, it’s fine if you talk about it with your master." Theo winked playfully.

*Badump!*

*Badump!*

’A secret between me and his lordship?’ Yue Yi’s body trembled in excitement. She hurriedly replied, "I understand. I will keep it a secret for the time being."

She looked like she remained calm, but her inner mind and heart said otherwise.

"In that case, I’m going to prepare breakfast for you and Mia.

"!!!" Yue Yi became even more delighted, thinking this was a reward. "Y-yes!"

When Theo headed to the kitchen, Yue Yi stood there for a few minutes before realizing she had to continue sweeping the place.

Suddenly, she noticed a presence outside, which seemed to be her master.

Theo was still busy, so she thought about greeting her master.

"Master!" Yue Yi cupped her hands as soon as she exited the building. As expected, the one standing outside the courtyard was Li Shuye.

"Yi…" Li Shuye had a gloomy expression when she came here, but she couldn’t help but gasp when she saw Yue Yi coming out. It wasn’t about the cloth on her hand, it was her cultivation. "You are in the 5-Star Foundation Establishment Stage now? But aren’t you supposed to be…"

"I was supposed to have broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage a month prior. So, I shouldn’t have become a 2-Star yet, let alone a 5-Star."

"Y-Yes. That’s what I’m saying. How did you reach this stage?"

Yue Yi clapped her hands as though she were praying. "It’s because of the kindness of your…"

"Your…s truly?" Li Shuye tilted her head in confusion.

"Your guest." Yue Yi hurriedly corrected herself. Her admiration for Theo simply made it hard for her to address Theo casually.

"Teacher Theo has done something?"

"Yes. He has given me a little lesson, allowing me to gain an enlightenment that allows me to reach this stage. My foundation is still stable, and there are no side effects. In fact, my cultivation speed has increased by 2.5 times."

"This…" Li Shuye made a troubled expression. On the one hand, she was happy that Theo gave her disciple such a thing. In fact, increasing her cultivation speed alone was already a huge favor that couldn’t be bought no matter the price. After all, it only came from enlightenment or a change in the spirit root. On the other hand, she felt ashamed because the news she brought was not good news.

"Is there something wrong, Master?" Yue Yi tilted her head in confusion.

"It’s just…" Li Shuye clicked her tongue. "The elders are being stubborn, saying that I can’t disclose the martial arts to him. Well, I can understand where they’re coming from, but…"

"Why? I think he is a brilliant person who would be able to transform our sect.

"Yeah, but the elders are saying that if we allow outsiders to learn our techniques, it’s going to be the end of the Snow Blossom Sect. For example, what if your Snow Petal Sword is studied by other people in great detail? While they can’t cultivate it, they will know how you move. As a result, they will gain an advantage; you might even lose your life because of it."

"That’s…" Yue Yi couldn’t deny it. There were a lot of martial arts in the sect. While it was impossible to know all of them. She knew a lot of popular martial arts among disciples and elders. So, if their enemies used it and killed all the powerhouses in this sect, nothing would stop them from destroying this sect. "But he is not a bad person."

"I know that. Sadly, no matter what argument I propose, they’re shooting me down. I’m going to beat those elders later." She sighed.

"Ahaha. Then, what if we use another method?"

"Another method?" She looked down for a moment, contemplating. "Outside martial arts?"

"Yes. If I’m not wrong, there is an ancient tomb that is going to open soon, right? Although I know that he is strong, that place only allows people at Foundation Establishment Expert or lower to enter, right?"

"Now that I think about it…" Li Shuye recalled all the information about Theo. "His martial prowess is beyond that level. But the amount of essence in his body is extremely low. It might be due to the difference in our power system, but I think he can enter the tomb."

"That’s right. I can guide him to the tomb." Yue Yi volunteered, even though she simply wanted to spend more time with Theo.

"No. I can agree to let him know about the tomb, but you have a different task."

"A task?!" Yue Yi gasped before looking away with an annoyed expression. It seemed that spending time with Theo was more enjoyable than completing her master’s task. Considering what Theo had done, Li Shuye didn’t put much thought into it.

"Yes. The tomb might have a lot of things, but he doesn’t like becoming the center of attention. If you go with him, it will just annoy him. So, why don’t you go around and buy a lot of martial arts at the market and auction?"

"Ah!" Yue Yi understood the assignment. Since the sect’s martial arts couldn’t be used, they could simply buy martial arts as a gift.

Li Shuye took out a space ring and said, "There should be 3 million high grade spirit stones inside."

"3 million? Isn’t this…" Yue Yi never thought that her master would give her two months worth of cultivation resources.

"He gave you something priceless, how could I, your master, be a cheapskate?"

"Master…" Yue Yi clenched her fists, determined to find the best martial arts.

"Buy as much as you can. In fact, you can ask him what kind of martial arts he prefers."

"Understood." Yue Yi nodded furiously. "I will make sure not to disappoint him."

"Good. While you’re at it, please tell him about the bad news. I will try persuading the elders again. Hopefully, he hasn’t left by that time." Li Shuye sighed.

"I understand, Master. Please leave everything to me. I will also tell him about the Fist Emperor’s tomb."

"One more thing. I told him that there is a place that allows him to fight, right? Please tell him about the Eastern Mountain Range."

"Eastern Mountain Range? Isn’t that place very dangerous?"

"For normal people, yes. But he should be able to survive there. In that place, he will find beasts who are strong enough to turn into humans. This way, he can fight both bases and humanoid beasts."

"I understand. I will tell him about everything."

"Thanks. In that case, I’ll return. Please give my regards to him." Li Shuye waved her hand with a wry smile.

She was very lucky that Theo visited her place. Just a single lesson was enough for her disciple to gain enlightenment. She could brag about it to a lot of people.

Then again, she also felt sad that Yue Yi would never be a student of the World Union Academy, specifically Theo’s class. In the end, the luckiest one was Li Wei.

’That old bastard Li Changkong… If only I was as bold as that old bastard, I could put my disciple in the World Union Academy. No wait. Li Shuye is my disciple and Li Wei is my niece. In martial lineage, they are related. But they are not related by blood. Should I just engage them to make the relationship between the Snow Blossom Sect and Heavenly Sword Sect better?" Li Shuye squinted her eyes.

It seemed that her imagination became wilder and wilder after knowing about her disciple’s gains.

And that disciple was currently informing Theo about the news.

"I’m sorry, Teacher Theo. It seems that it’s impossible to show you the martial arts." Yue Yi kneeled in front of Theo.

"It’s not a problem. Come on. There’s no need to kneel. Why don’t we talk while eating?" Theo gently smiled. He never expected to get permission anyway since he thought about visiting a lot of places to acquire it himself.

"But don’t worry. There are other places you can visit to get everything you want." Yue Yi hurriedly told him about the tomb and the mountain range, which piqued both Theo and Mia’s interest.
