General Luo inspected himself and knew that he had finally broken through to the peak stage of the martial saint realm.

He observed his surroundings and found his brother Hu peng standing a distance away from him.

"Greetings emperor Hu, I just broke through." He greeted him politely as he didn't want to appear rude to the emperor in front of other people.

"Nice nice! You are really the strongest person of our Hu empire! I am very satisfied. From today onwards our Hu empire could become even more arrogant in front of other empires."

Emperor Hu actually wanted to hide the fact that his brother Luo had broken through to the peak, but it would be hard to do so, as the effect of his breakthrough was so great.

He even suspected that some empires and factions could have already gotten the information regarding the breakthrough because of the spies in the Hu empire.

Thinking upto this he sighed 'You didn't have to show off..'

"On the occasion of your breakthrough to the peak, we will organise a banquet and invite people from other strong organisations."

Emperor Hu looked at the newbie soldiers, some young teenagers of the powerful families and many other people before again turning his head towards general Luo.

"For now...as a head general you should give some guidance to the young people of our empire."

He left after saying this.

"As you wish" , General Luo agreed to give some guidance to the young people.

Everyone heard what emperor Hu had said, blood rushed up to their faces because of the excitement they were feeling.

There was a big commotion after the emperor left, people were pushing and tackling each other to find a good spot.

One of the generals was annoyed by the commotion, he looked towards the commander in charge of training the new soldiers, expecting him to stop all the ruckus, but the moment he looked at the commander, the general almost lost his footing.

"Hey! You f**ker that's my place!! Get up"

"Yeah!! I just sat on it! What can you do!?"

The commander was currently angrily shouting and fighting with other commanders to sit on one of the best spots.

Seeing the big commotion, general Luo was shocked and became frightened.

'Wha...what is this?....Is my teaching so valuable? I am just going to teach you some random punching techniques! Why are you people so excited? I don't have any heaven cracking knowledge you know…'

At first general Luo just wanted to teach some normal combos but seeing such excitement from people, he became pressured.

'Huuuu...well whatever, maybe I should tell them something about my own technique."

Finally after the commotion died down general Luo started teaching the group of people.

***

In the Shu faction, Feng Shu was currently chatting with a grand elder of the faction.

"Too bad I couldn't meet with him…" said an old man with black hair and a plump body.

His name was Wang Shu, he was one of the four grand elders of the Shu faction.

Just some days ago he heard that Feng Shu brought a powerful person back with her to the faction.

Wang Shu was curious about him but before they could meet, he found out that the guy had already left for the southern part of the continent.

This disappointed him a bit but he didn't think too much about it and left after having some pleasantries with Feng Shu.

Feng Shu was currently looking at the back of Wang Shu.

'Wang Shu…..it seems like he was interested in Bufang, after all he has a spiritual root of fire,after hearing that Bu fang was also proficient in fire attacks, he must have been excited to share some knowledge with Bufang.'

Feng Shu came back inside her room to prepare herself for the next meeting.

Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.

'It would be a long journey to reach the southern part, so Mr. Bufang can keep travelling while also attending the meetings in the palace.'

***

After the long wait of four days, finally it was time for the next meeting.

Zhang ergou looked at his appearance.

He had a black tuxedo with tight black long pants.

After seeing that there was nothing wrong, he waited for the space distortion.

The night arrived and suddenly a weird distortion of space occurred around Zhang and he disappeared.

Inside the Martial palace, everyone got teleported one by one.

Daoist Po and Guo nine appeared first, followed by Zhang, general Luo and others.

After everyone appeared they didn't immediately ask to cultivate as they knew that just cultivating everyday won't help them in the long run, they needed resources and rich experiences to really become powerful someday.

Today some people who had enough strength wanted to do missions for their monthly contribution or for rewards.

Zhang was also curious about the missions, but he didn't have the strength to do them, so he could only cultivate.

"Dear palace voice, can I get some answers for my questions?" Zhang wanted to clear some of his confusion.

"Yes…" Zhang heard an affirmative reply from the palace voice.

"Ohh...nice, can you tell me how time works here? Like I don't think my world and other worlds' time are the same, so how do we get teleported here exactly after every four days?"

After some silence the voice replied

"It is true that your world and other worlds' times are different. The palace brings all the members and judges exactly after four days of time in their own world, but they reach here exactly at the same time."

'huh?..how does that work?'

He asked about this and heard.

"That's how it works, this is a place independent of the galaxies that you people are living in. After being sucked in here, you will be kept in a void until other people from their own world reaches here, after everyone comes, then the meeting would begin as usual."

Zhang was scared after hearing that they were kept inside a void while waiting for other members to come from their respective worlds.

"So….how many years have I spend my time waiting until others reached this place."

To this question the palace voice answered.

"You didn't wait that long, as time flows slower here than most of the worlds out there including yours. Even if you stay here for five years only five minutes would have passed in your world.

'!!!!! What?....only five minutes, too exaggerated!!'

'What is actually time anyway? How does it work in the universe? All these things I am not going to bother myself with, I should just focus on increasing my strength yeah….that's it.'

He was too lazy to start researching the concepts of time, after all it would be too difficult and time consuming.

'I can't even solve thermodynamics or equilibrium of basic level physics, what research would I make about time?'

Although his intelligence was a bit above average, it didn't lie in this area.

Intelligence doesn't only signify being able to solve complex questions of physics and chemistry, being able to derive equations, algebra etc.

There are different types of intelligence for different areas, like emotional intelligence,

intelligence for fighting, intelligence for writing, being intelligent in business etcetc.

"One last question...can I travel to different worlds? And would you give me an accurate assessment of time between my world and Miss Qing fa's world?."

For the the first question, the voice said that he would have to make deals with someone, and the content of the deal would have to specifically require you in that world, only then would he be able to travel that world…..or he could directly make a deal with the palace and do one more monthly contribution mission to be able to stay in a different world for four days of that world.

For the second question the voice said "Staying in the Dogma world for six months would equate to one day on earth."

'Wow!! Full six months!! Even if I don't get out of my house for four days straight, nobody would care because I had a habit of hibernating in my room!! And most people know about that!!."

"I can stay for at least two years in that Dogman world! So that world's name is Dogma."

'Now I have to make some kind of deal with Weng or Qing fa and go to that cultivation world!'

He wanted to travel that world and start his cultivation journey, after all he can't do anything on earth.

It is better to just travel and enjoy life.

Bufang was just standing silently thinking about what to do, when Feng Shu approached him.

"How is your journey going?"

Bufang looked at Feng Shu "I just left with the caravan a day ago, we are still under the area of the Shu faction.

Feng Shu made an O sign with her mouth "Oh.." and stopped saying anything, while just standing silently.

There was an awkward silence between the two for a while.

They didn't have anything interesting to talk about, suddenly they sensed a terrifying power approaching them from the front.

Both turned their heads to look at the person.

"Hey you two, I just broke through today." It was General Luo, he had a glowing smile on his face today.

Feng Shu was shocked by his sudden power up.

Feng Shu thought 'Now that the Hu empire has a peak level powerhouse of the Aru continent, they would easily become the one of the strongest of the whole continent, being on the same level as the Shu faction.

Shu faction has two peak level transcendence realm experts Master Shu and matriarch Shu both are the parents of 'Feng Shu' the 'little fairy' of the faction.(Little fairy was the nickname of Feng Shu, when she was little her parents used to call her that. Many people still remember the nickname)

Bufang wasn't that surprised by his breakthrough, as he knew that general Luo was very close to it.

"Congratulations General Luo" both congrulated him and asked about how he did it.

"Just keep cultivating here and you will break through in no time as well." he said this and became silent.

General Luo was fast in his breakthroughs because the technique he used was his own self created, he didn't have to keep revising and trying to understand the meanings of the techniques like the others did.

Bufang and Feng Shu directly wanted to cultivate, when suddenly they all heard the voice of the palace say something.

"It seems that we have someone who has already reached the current peak level power of his own world….. Judge Luo, the martial palace recommends you to do a mission, you can refuse to do it but do know that the completion of this mission is one of the first steps to breakthrough your world's current peak level power."

After the voice finished saying this, the whole place turned silent.
