When Daniel left the room, he immediately recognized where he was. He was currently standing inside one of the corridors within the castle. What left Daniel pleasantly surprised, was how different the castle looked since the last time he had seen it. He could still feel his control over it, but the entire castle had been renovated with higher class furnishings. It didn’t take long for him to guess the reason why. He had spent an entire week within the spatial formation, and of course, the rest…-

"What’s next?" asked Daniel teasingly. Slightly irritated by Daniel’s tone, the middle aged man looked back at him and said "Very well.. It seems that your aptitude for spatial essence is nothing to laugh at. How about something a little more difficult then?" Before Daniel could respond, a hundred and twenty-eight different rings appeared from out of nowhere, and started to orbit around the middle aged man. From the middle aged man’s body, just as many threads of spiritual essence emerged…

Daniel’s wisp of consciousness was now standing in the middle of an empty space. He had just started to examine one of the many rings and jewels that the middle aged man was displaying, and yet he had already been greatly surprised. What surprised him wasn’t the immense space inside it, as all the spatial containers that Daniel had seen contained a relatively large space already. What surprised Daniel about the ring he was currently in, was how different the space in it felt from other spatial…

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Asked Daniel while looking at Imblen. Imblen couldn’t help but giggle in response to Daniel’s words. Only after a good minute was she able to regain her composure and explain "It’s an Asum tradition. A warrior who saves their lives in battle, will become a ’warrior worth serving’.. Now, ’serving’ might be a little bit of a stretch. It’s not a master and slave, or owner and servant relationship. He simply respects you as a warrior and owes you his…

For the next few minutes, Daniel and the rest of his group observed the fight between the blond young man, and the large asum warrior. Because of the few injuries he had obtained when defending the children, the young man had gradually lost blood and become weaker. It had reached a point where he was only barely able to avoid the warrior’s attacks. Daniel quietly approached the group of kids and tried to talk to them. He got down on his knees and looked at the only one of them who was watching the…

It took more than one week for Daniel and the rest of the group to reach the borders of the Krehan empire. Signaling the border, was a small city called Jeah. In order to avoid their castle from being spotted in mid air while crossing the border, the group had no other choice but to hide it into a deep lake situated only twenty kilometers away from the city. They then traveled the rest of the road on foot. When Daniel and the rest approached the city of Jeah, they noticed various columns of…

The group spent the next five hours going through every ring and bag that Daniel had taken out. What they found was highly disappointing. Most of the good items had been taken out by the Clear Mage when he had killed the owners of these rings and bags. What was left were the coins, and the martial and spiritual cultivation manuals. "Having a lot of money is fine, but there isn’t anything of real use here.. I think we should sell all this stuff in block at an high end auction house.. We could…

"What’s wrong?" Asked Alis to the seemingly distracted Daniel. The girl’s silvery voice woke Daniel up from his surprise. He turned towards her, and said "I must have randomly activated something.. And now I think I can terminate the formation at will.." Alis’s eyes moved around Daniel’s surroundings, and only when they ended up on the puddle of blood on which the rotting old man was lying, did a guess formed in her head. "It has to have something to do with your blood.." She said while…

"Ohh.. finally.." Groaned the old man. Daniel approached the old man with a confident pace. He then pointed the sword downward and pressed its hilt against his chest. Finally, he looked at the old man, and took a deep bow. "I hope you won’t change your mind and kill me" Daniel said through an embarrassed smile. The old man showed his rotten teeth once more, and responded "Don’t worry.. You and I have much to discuss.." He then turned towards the girl whose neck he was holding, and continued…

"The Clear Mage wasn’t who you think he was." Daniel said to the girl. The petite girl looked at him with confusion, and asked "What do you mean?" Daniel took a deep breath, and started to explain "The Dark Warrior and Clear Mage weren’t a couple of powerful cultivators like the legend says. The version recorded in your family record is more accurate, but a detail is missing.. The Dark Warrior was the Clear Mage’s father." He then paused for a moment, letting the new information sink in.…
