Tang Zi, who had been watching Kent from afar, smiled in approval. But Kent knew his training wasn’t over. Though he had mastered the spell, it still required a tremendous amount of aura to maintain. He could feel the strain it placed on his aura reserves.
So, for the next three days, Kent focused on refining his control over the Cyclone Step spell. He worked tirelessly to minimize the aura consumption, pushing himself to maintain the technique with as little energy as possible. Each time he used the Cyclone Step, he became more efficient, more in tune with the storm god’s power within him.
During these days, Kent’s body underwent a transformation. His veins, once normal, had turned a stark, lightning-white color, pulsing with raw energy. His skin had become pale, almost translucent, a reflection of the storm’s fury that he had absorbed.
Occasionally, Kent would push himself to the very edge, trying to invoke the beastly instincts that he needed for the first stage of inner spirit transformation of the Golden Body.
Each time he did, he could feel something stirring deep within him—a primal force that was waiting to be unleashed. It was wild, untamed, and he knew that when the time came, it would transform him in ways he could barely comprehend.
As he stood at the edge of the Ever Raining Sea, looking out at the endless storm, Kent felt a sense of calm wash over him.

Deep within the heart of the Deity Sect, nestled among the hundreds of towering mountains, a particular mountain stood out, not for its grandeur but for the heavy secrets it bore within.
Inside this seemingly unremarkable mountain, in a chamber carved from stone and illuminated by the soft glow of spirit lamps, Madam Clark and her sister, Eila, sat in deep discussion.
Eila continued to explain the events that had happened with the arrival of Supreme Sword Magus.
“The Supreme Sword Magus has given his word, sister. An unconditional favor for Kent, if Kent fights under the flag of the Wizard Association in the Immortal Beast Spirit Gathering. This is an opportunity for the future war with the Quinn family. That’s why I agreed to his request.”
Madam Clark got shocked after hearing the news, her brows furrowed in disbelief. “An unconditional favor from the “Supreme Sword Magus?” For Kent? It’s hard to believe. Why would he—?”
Madam Clark knows how powerful sword magus is. When the Quinn family tried to intrude the blue planet and wipe the Clark family, Supreme Sword Magus stood between them.
“Sister,” Eila interrupted. “The situation is dire. The Nine Realms Association took 70% of the slots for the beast spirit gathering. They want to dominate the event, leaving the rest of us with mere scraps. The Supreme Sword Magus is desperate to support the disciples of the Blue Planet. He sees potential in Kent—potential that could turn the tide.”
Madam Clark’s expression hardened, a mix of pride and concern washing over her. “Kent is powerful, but he’s still young. The weight of such a favor… the expectation.”
“Or it could elevate him to heights we can only dream of,” Eila countered, her voice filled with conviction. “The Supreme Sword Magus wouldn’t have made this offer lightly. He believes in Kent’s potential. We must as well.”
As the two women weighed the implications of this monumental promise, a sudden buzzing sound emanated from the spirit ring on Madam Clark’s finger. Her eyes widened as she recognized the source. After seeing Thea’s image on the communication mirror, Madam Clark quickly accepted the communication request.
Thea’s face appeared from the other side. Thea’s expression was tense, her eyes flickering with a mix of urgency and worry.
“Mother-in-law, there’s something you need to know. Something important about the upcoming Immortal Beast Spirit Gathering,” Thea began, her voice steady but laced with unease.
Madam Clark leaned forward. “What is it?”
“The Nine Realms Head, Jason Mama, has devised a plan, He’s planning to use the gathering to secure the War God inheritance for his son, Simon. He’s offering 7,000 slots to the other realms in exchange for their loyalty. But it’s more than that.
Jason’s planning to have all 70,000 disciples to form a Lotus Chakra formation around Simon. When the sacred blessing appears, they’re all going to attack him—so that Simon can defeat them and prove himself to the gods.”
Madam Clark’s eyes widened in shock, her breath catching in her throat. “70,000 disciples… working together to help one man? That’s madness!”
“It’s more than madness, it’s a power grab,” Eila muttered, her voice filled with disgust. “If Simon inherits the War God legacy, Jason will solidify his control over the realms. The balance of power will tip entirely in their favor.”
Thea nodded, her expression dark. “There’s more. I found a way to bring Kent to the 7th realm without revealing his identity. My sister, Lily, has been promised to Lin Dan of the Lin family. But she doesn’t want to marry him. She’s agreed to take someone else as a fake husband, someone who can inherit the War God legacy.
Aunt, she’s planning to use this opportunity to break free from her engagement.”
Madam Clark’s thoughts raced as the pieces began to fall into place. Thea’s information, combined with the Supreme Sword Magus’s favor, presented a unique opportunity. If Kent could inherit the War God legacy, he could not only shatter Jason’s plans but also participate in the trident summit and gain tremendous power.
A slow smile spread across Madam Clark’s face as the realization dawned on her. “Thea, you’ve done well. This is our chance. Kent must go to the Seventh Realm for the Trident Summit.”
Thea’s expression softened, relief washing over her. “Thank you, Aunt. I knew you’d understand. I’ll make sure everything is prepared on my end.”
Eila, who had been listening quietly, finally spoke up. “This is dangerous, Sister. We’re gambling everything on Kent.”
Madam Clark’s eyes glowed with fierce determination.
As the communication ended, Madam Clark turned to Eila, her voice steady and filled with purpose. “We need to prepare the treasures required for mass war. In the 8th realm, the illusion shield lay in the Dong family hold. Go and make a deal with them.”
Eila smiled and said. “I will get it in a week.”
In the depths of the Deity Sect, plans were set in motion that would shake the foundations of the realms.

Thank you all… 🙂
