Gray came upon a busy road after finally reaching close to his destination.

There were already many more people on the road he was currently on compared to when he started the journey, and there were more than ten times as many on the road he was turning onto.

All around him, there were carriages, people, and all sorts of mounts with people riding on top.

After walking on this road for a few hours, completely unnoticed, the line of people started to slow down exponentially, and it eventually came almost to a complete stop.

However, Gray simply didn’t care and started to cultivate.

But when he did, the people around him felt a massive shift in the power of the Qi, and they could very clearly feel it flow towards him, and they felt like they could barely even slow it down if they tried.

It was needless to say that the line around him was confused and curious as to who he was, but he had his eyes closed as he continued to stand there, moving forward when the person in front of him did.

They were curious as to how he knew to move even with his eyes closed, but they figured it was best not to disturb him.

Of course, there were several people who were stupid enough to approach him, but every single one was sent flying with a punch before they could even get a chance to talk. He didn’t even need to open his eyes to do so.

After seeing this enough times, everyone around him gave up on trying to approach or talk to him.

The line slowly moved forward, and everyone eventually came upon a giant gate that stood over fifty feet tall and thirty feet wide.

At the gate, there were teams of guards inspecting everyone who was entering, and as Gray approached the gate and the guards inspecting everyone, he finally opened his eyes, but he didn’t stop cultivating, which naturally meant that he caught attention among the guards.

Instantly, a guard at the peak of the Martial Realm came up to him, gesturing for him to empty his pockets and show everything he had on him.

Then, Gray took off the heavenly weight sand bands he had on, one by one, each of them crashing into the ground unnaturally and causing an imprint in the already heavily compacted ground.

After seeing this, the guard, which had originally dismissed Gray due to his lower cultivation level, took a second look at him.

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

It was only then that the guard realized just how young Gray was. And it was only after that that he noticed his violet eyes, which were looking at him as if looking down upon him from the highest pedestal.

The amount of disdain carried in Gray’s gaze was simply so much that it truly felt like he was disregarded as even less than dirt in his eyes.

‘A mere seventh stage dares to be so arrogant? And a ten year old, at that! He may be an unprecedented genius, but that doesn’t mean he can do whatever he wants!’

A smirk covered his face as he prepared to cause trouble, but the moment that smirk appeared on his face, Gray’s violet eyes started glowing with a malevolent light, and a bloodlust so powerful that the guard nearly fell to his knees appeared.

His whole body started to tremble as a cold sweat coated him all over. An expression of fear covered his face as his throat was too dry to even speak, forcing him to use a gesture to wave Gray in, after which the killing intent vanished as if it had never existed in the first place.

He then couldn’t hold it in anymore and fell to his knees, his face pale and his breathing ragged.

One of the other guards came over after seeing the abnormality.

“Hey, what’s wrong?”

Only now did he come back to his senses, at which point he looked at the other guard, then at Gray, and raised a finger towards him, his arm still shaking.

“That kid… He’s… he’s a monster…”

The other guard looked at where he was pointing, seeing Gray’s back.

Exactly at that moment, Gray turned around, his eyes locking onto the second guard’s eyes. There was no bloodlust this time, but the second guard still felt an incredible amount of danger from this gaze, and his heart instinctively sped up as adrenaline coursed through his body.

“You… what did you do to provoke such a genius? Nay, I’d say that he truly is a monster among monsters!”

The second guard couldn’t restrain his shock, not only at the terror he experienced from Gray’s gaze, but also based on his young age.

Most people couldn’t cultivate until they were already ten years old due to the frailness of their bodies, yet this boy had reached a level that most people never would by the time others had only barely started cultivating!

Even in his previous life, Gray had never been so fast. However, although his plan had been pushed forward a bit, he had no plans to hide his ability.

In the best case scenario, he might even be recruited by the royal family, at which point he would be able to watch them whenever he wanted to.

With this thought, he continued in the line towards the venue for the celebration.

Because everyone was heading to the same place, the line moved quite slowly, and it took him another three days to even get to an outskirt part of the city where the celebration was being held.

When he got there, he found the crappiest hotel he could and paid for about a week’s stay. This was one day longer than the celebration would be.

Because it was a crappy hotel and not everyone had arrived yet, he was able to get a room relatively easily.

In his mind, he was working out not only his plan to take down the kingdom, but also wondering what exactly was the most effective method to do so with the least amount of effort.
