Chapter 712 - Blessed Houses, Seven Thrones.
"This is really peaceful," Lily said with a smile, and Mimi also came out from the Ark space.
"Hehe, we can also eat fishes from the ocean," Mimi said as she turned around and looked at the ocean.
"This waterfall's water is coming from the sea behind it by some formation. I also sensed some beasts in the small jungle behind the waterfall," Huarin said with closed eyes as she observed the island using her soul sense.
"Let's enter inside the house and start training," Huarin said as she opened her eyes and walked towards the first house on the left side.
There was a slot on the door that fit the card. The door opened after she inserted the card, and the card disappeared.
Lily, Mimi, and Dreevindo also entered inside different houses and started training.
They had already divided the resources between them but not all of them. They only divided 1/4th of the resources while the rest was with Lily as she would be using the Ark's power to enhance them. Once she was done, she would divine the rest of the resources as well.
...
Time passed, and after two months, Huarin and Lily came outside with an even stronger aura on them. Naturally, they broke through. Lily broke through earlier, but she was refining the treasure resources using the Ark's power to upgrade them after she finished her breakthrough.
After coming out, both of them started sparring while waiting for Mimi and Dreevindo to come out.
Naturally, when they opened the door and came out, the card also came out from the slot as the timer on it paused.
After half a month, Mimi came out, and after another two days, Dreevindo also came out.
Lily then divided the upgraded resources and spoke with a smile, "Huarin and I will only come out after we breakthrough to Atomix-transformation stage now."
"I might not be able to breakthrough to Epic, though," Dreevindo said with a wry smile, "however, we will definitely be only one step away from Epic after this session."
"Same here," Mimi said before she suddenly asked with knitted eyebrows, "what's the status of brother Athan? is he still the same?"
Lily nodded with a helpless smile, "he is still in the same condition. I wonder when he will come out from that cocoon?"
"It makes sense, though," Dreevindo said with a wry smile, "he devoured two Epic-level powerhouses souls, and he also said that his absorbing method is not more efficient; the surge in his soul power was really too high, and that should have caused him to upgrade in his unique path further."
"The difference between Atomix to Epic and further difference in sub-stages of Epic are huge. From Epic to Legendary is a huge leap as well," Dreevindo said with a wistful expression, "didn't you see those Legendary beings? No matter how many Epics are there, they can't do anything to a Legendary being unless they truly combined their powers and used some other means like union-type formations."
"And Athan devoured one such Epic powerhouse's soul," Huarin muttered and nodded with sweated expression, "do you know how strong was that Epic powerhouse?"
"I couldn't assess that, but the soul that Athan devoured was definitely not at high-epic," Dreevindo shook his head, "The King I served previous is of high-epic, so I know for sure that the power of that woman Epic powerhouse hadn't reached high-epic yet."
"There was one person attacking that Gorilla who was very powerful," Mimi said, "I think he was at Peak-Epic. He was also the one who took the grand reward at the end."
"Yeah, he was at the Peak-Epic, definitely more powerful than the King I served," Dreevind nodded.
"Enough chit-chat, now let's get back to training," Huarin said as she turned around and left.
Others nodded as they returned to their Blessed Houses as well.
...
Time passed as hours turned into days and days into months before a year actually passed.
Mimi and Dreevindo arrived outside as their time was up, while Lily and Huarin also arrived outside after their time was used up as well.
Naturally, both of them had broken through but spent the rest of the time consolidating their Genealogy path using the powerful, pure, and thick orchos energy inside the Blessed House.
Both of them had reached the Atomix-transformation stage and would soon do their first transformation as well.
"It looks like we will have to leave," Dreevindo said wryly.
"Let's gather more resources and come back here," Huarin said.
"Wait, I have an idea," Lily said with a smile, "I have some valuable items that we got from those we killed, remember? Let's sell them to the market and then visit the Gambling District to try out luck for more resources."
Mimi's eyes shined as she nodded hurriedly, "I want to go there!"
"Athan is still the same?" Dreevindo asked.
"Unfortunately or fortunately, yeah," Lily said with a wry smile, "I also can't sense anything since he is inside that cocoon."
...
Somewhere in a mystical place, there were seven thrones floating in the dreamy faint golden-white cloudy zone.
Out of those seven seats, one seat was empty while the other six thrones were filled by humanoid beings.
None of them were pure humans but had different features on them in the humanoid frames.
"Staercia, how is that brat doing?" asked an old man who had a purple-green woody body and a cane in his hand. He sat on a viney throne and there were small colorful leaves of beautiful different shapes floating around him.
Staercia was none other than the woman who took away Tiana and others' souls and put them inside the Origin realm of Abyssal Void Of Fabrication.
"He has already arrived at Orchos Firmament and...is indeed progressing by leaps and bound," Staercia said with a nod.
"Mhmm, I looked at the AVOF realm a few days ago, it was getting hyper." said a buffy man with explosive muscle, and bare body. However, he looked like a werewolf with fur on his body and wolf head but also had exquisite giant twelve horns on top of his head with golden patterns.
"Hyper? What do you mean?"
"It was shaping up."
"I see...then he should have passed the 40% mark."
"Yep."
"That's really fast."
"Huh? It's not as fast as how you progress though, humph."
"hahaha, that's because I was simply born for this power. I had too much affinity with it and rapidly understood it."
"Anyway, since we have talked much, then let's go and continue our work. I sure hope that brat Athan comes here fast, so we can finally open this damn path."
"Patience old man, patience, hahaha. Either he comes here or he dies halfway, we will open this path. Since we have outgrown our powers now, we can force origin AVOF realm for our bid as well."
"But let's hope it doesn't come to that point."
"Indeed."
