Terra Kingdom

Emery passed through the portal to arrive at Terra Kingdom, made his way across the bustling streets of the city, and headed towards the majestic palace seen on top of the hill overlooking the beautiful city.

Just like his previous visit, Terra Palace was heavily guarded with warriors clad in golden armor. But at this point, everyone knew who Emery was and so they easily let him enter the premises, even greeted him with respectful gestures.

After nodding to everyone who greeted him, Emery went straight to the main hall where his friends Klea, Julian, Chumo, and Thrax were already waiting for his arrival. As soon as he entered, everyone's attention was on him.

There was a figure sitting at the throne, one of Lord Izta's wife and generals, Magus Silica. Standing beside her was another of Lord Izta's wives, Yuria. The two of them also had their gazes at Emery.

"Good, all of you are finally here," said Magus Silica, drawing the attention to her. After making sure everyone was paying attention, she continued to say, "We have run a check on the information given from our Lord and successfully tracked the figure to a specific place."

The one Magus Silica was talking about right now was none other than the Eastern Sage, one of the first generation of Earth's acolytes.

On Earth, the man was known as the founder and emperor of Xia Dynasty. The exact figure who almost ruled over the entire Earth 1,000 years ago. He was the master of the second generation of Earth's acolytes

Knowing that such a man had reached the illustrious realm of Grand Magus, crowning him as the strongest person on Earth; of course, Emery and the others were very excited to know more about the other party.

"Don't get too excited too early, everyone. It won't be as simple as you all think."

"What do you mean by that, Magus Silica?" asked Emery, representing the confusion of his friends.

Magus Silica did not elaborate further. Instead, she pointed to Yuria who was standing beside her. "If you all have no immediate business, Yuria here will explain and show you. It will be a two-day journey to get there."

Even though the group had just returned from the grueling mid-test, they had actually spent quite a while recovering during the return journey.

Hence, this period of time was actually the best timing for them to check this matter before starting a new training. In addition, an opportunity to meet such a person before the appointed meeting with the Nephilim next week might carry favorable factors.

With those thoughts in consideration, it didn't take long for everyone to agree to go together.

"Yes! Another get-together adventure!" Klea said excitedly, causing the boys to crack a smile.

"Is such a thing necessary?" Julian asked Magus Silica, his brows raised as he stared at the group standing before them.

It turned out that Magus Silica didn't only send Yuria to accompany the group. She also deployed two squads of 20 golden warriors led by two saint-level captains to escort them along the journey.

Once again, Magus Silica did not elaborate further. She only said, "You will see when we get there."

On the other hand, the Egyptian Queen didn't seem to mind with their added companions. "It's okay, Julian! The more the merrier! Let's go!" She said excitedly, grabbing Emery's arm with her.

The group of 28 walked out of the Terra Palace and made their way towards the portal in the city. Emery and the others had to pass through half a dozen more portals before they finally arrived at a place where they could take a ride into space.

While on board, Emery approached Yuria and asked her a question.

"What can you tell us about that person, Yuria?"

Much to his surprise, Yuria actually didn't know much at all. Apparently, she found the other party's location with the guide she was told by Lord Izta. What was even more strange was the fact that time turned out to be her first time hearing from Lord Izta that the man was someone who came from Earth.

Upon hearing that, Emery couldn't help but feel kind of worried. What could be the reason Lord Izta never talked about the Eastern Sage to his wives?

On this thought, he recalled that Lord Izta didn't seem too happy talking about the other party in the past. Still, he had absolutely no idea as to why. He could only hope that nothing too bad happened between them. After all, this man, the Eastern Sage, might be the only way for Earth to create its own faction and be free from outside threats.

After spending a day traveling through hyperdrive, the group finally arrived at their destination. It was a station located in a corner of a realm, and from there, they took a portal to arrive at some kind of settlement on a planet.

At first glance, the scenery and atmosphere of this planet reminded Emery a lot of Kulturmak before it was attacked and razed to the ground by the elven fleet. Hence he fell into a daze for a moment, reminiscing the memory of that time.

Instead of the Kobolds, Emery discovered what appeared to be some kind of Fishman. They stood at half the size of normal humans, with thin scales covering their blue and green-tinted skin.

These Fishmen seemed to be the original inhabitants of this planet. However, they were not the only kind living on this planet as half of the people seen in the settlement were from other races.

The group, led by Yuria, made their way towards a group of uniformed, armed, armor-clad people. They seemed to be the guards that the Magus Alliance stationed in this place, as Emery saw Yuria showing their identifications to them.

The one who checked the identifications Yuria gave exclaimed when he saw the destination stated on it. "Ah, you all want to check the Hermit Mountain?" asked the guard, turning his gaze at Yuria.

Yurian just nodded in response. Seeing that, the guard didn't say anything else and quickly finished the inspection. Not long after, Emery and the others were allowed to continue their journey.

"Hermit Mountain?" asked Emery after they had walked some distance.

As if she had expected the question, Yuria quickly nodded. "Yes, the man we are looking for seems to have secluded himself in the mountains for the past 500 years."

Emery and the others who didn't expect such an answer were quite surprised. However, it seemed to be just the start.

It took the group three hours until they finally saw a peculiar mountain that was completely filled with lush forests. From the foot of the mountain, Emery could feel powerful energy exuding from within, but his Spirit Reading was unable to penetrate past the tree line.

"This place is strange"

Yuria turned to Emery and the others saying, "I've spent a week trying to get in, but I can't seem to reach the summit no matter what I do. So Silica and I decided to bring more people this time."
