"Ganesha! Explain what is happening here!"
Yang Wu Di totally lost himself, if not because he is restrained by Nan Fang and the Duan brothers, perhaps he already land a fist into Ganesha and Li Meng for them to neglect their priority task.
"My lord, we deserve to be put to death! It is our fault for failing to protect Earl Altima's safety."
Li Meng immediately replied, but shivering throughout his whole body, as he faces the wrath of Yang Wu Di as he emits the deadly intention to kill whoever standing in front of him.
"Big brother, let us take a look on little brother first! Calm Down!!"
Guinness immediately calm Yang Wu Di stirred heart. In between of this few year, Altima had thoroughly made all his brother accept his existence. Dependable and full of honesty when facing each other, Altima manage to cause all his brother to place him within the deepest spot in their heart, irreplaceable by anyone else.
"Is uncle Hua Guan here ?"
Yang Wu Di immediately check for a specific person's existence.
"Yes! My lord, I am lucky enough to be placed in the same location as Duan brothers during the transfer."
The person called Uncle Hua Guan quickly came through the barricade made by the elite troops, and appeared beside Altima's injured body.
Hua Guan, this elder is one of the most remarkable Doctors and physician throughout the whole Southern State. Practicing the Martial Art of healing, rejuvenate and limb operation, he is the one to look for in case there are any medical difficulties.
"Uncle Hua, please save our brother's life."
Duan Tian Ya is the first person to speak.
"Uncle Hua, please do your best.."
Yang Wu Di, with a broken heart, speaks as well. Through his emotional expression, one can imagine just how important is Altima within his heart.
"I will try my best my lord, no worries."
Elder Hua immediately starts to diagnose Altima's condition, while the few other brothers move aside. With additional manpower reaching around 200,000 currently, the military camp immediately burst with life force, where voices are heard almost everywhere within the bridge.
Soon, the troops that were stationed on the Elves village reach the military camp as well, where after some detail report, they were quickly allowed to rest and ready for the next day deployment. Cheers and gathering among the troops could be heard throughout the night, but within one spacious camp, the 4 brothers, with Uncle Hua, 10 captains included Ganesha and a few more other captains that are loyal to Wu Di Royal Faction.
"We must not lose our youngest brother in this place. Even if I required to go into the volcano or freezing mountain to gather the ingredient, we must make sure Altima survive through this event."
Yang Wu Di says.
"Big brother, all of us think like this too, do not bear all this burden yourself."
Duan Tian Ya replied.
"Do you know what Altima says to me before he comes over to our side ?"
"He asks me, What will be for those without strength ?"
"And I answer him, those without strength is still a strength. Nobody will be despised, and it will be treated equally altogether, no matter what."
"But now, I felt so weak. My youngest brother, just to protect my people from sacrificing themselves, choose to sacrifice himself instead. As a big brother, what should I do now ?"
Yang Wu Di started to blame himself.
"Enough of this thinking! Yang, you should know your best why we all did this!"
Guinness couldn’t help but stands and grab Yang Wu Di's cloth on his chest, and pull him up from his seat.
"Is this the time to be depressed now ?"
"Altima had this route cleared, and now the entrance to the Ancient Kingdom is only in front of us."
"Are we going to retreat because the younger brother is injured ?"
"Or are you going to give up on your initial path because you can't take this all ?"
"If you are, we are going to knock you until your sense came back, and force you to continue this even if you are unhappy with it!"
Guinness toss Yang Wu Di down to his seat again, where the chair is broken due to the force.
"Big brother, let us proceed towards the Ancient Kingdom entrance. Perhaps we can get a solution on how to save little brother's life there."
Duan Yu Heng added.
"Guinness… I'm sorry.."
Yang Wu Di stands back up again, but his head is lowered, instead of looking high and strong.
"Not possible. It is not me you need to say sorry. It's our little brother that lying over there, barely living and yet to be dead."
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
"If you don’t pick up yourself before we march, we will drag you on a stake, and you better return to your usual self before we lose our patience!"
Guinness continued before he left the camp. But as he exits the camp, he continued with one more last sentence.
"Brother Altima, if you could hear me, make sure you remember this."
"We need you now, you better don’t be dead before all of us does."
Finishing his word, Guinness leave the camp without looking back.
"Brother Altima, we will make sure you will recover soon."
Ending their sentence, the Duan brothers leaves the camp, allowing Yang Wu Di to remain within the camp.
Following along, all the captains and few elite specialist emptied the camp, and leave the camp with only Hua Guan, Altima, and Yang Wu Di.
"Uncle Hua, how is my little brother's condition ?"
Yang Wu Di started.
"To be honest, I can't answer you accurately, but a spark of life still remains within this heavily injured body. Through the primary examination, all I could found out is although his mental state is in a comatose condition now, but the Spiritual body doesn’t get any weaker. Instead, it is getting stronger by each second as if the Spiritual body is trying to escape the physical body."
Uncle Hua explained. And wake up from his seat, leaving Yang Wu Di and Altima alone.
"I will make sure that silly girl Ganesha comes in to take care of Altima later. My lord, you too should rest, because we need all strength we could muster by tomorrow deployment to explore the Ancient Kingdom."
"Stupid brother."
"With this kind of thing happened to you, how could the Wu Di family carve its way throughout the Lan Shen Dalu ?"
"I will personally make sure we obtain the most compatible medicinal pill, so you will recover immediately. Wait me come back to you. Don’t you dare to leave before our dream is fulfilled."
With this, Yang Wu Di too leave the camp and allows Ganesha to enter the camp, taking care Altima personally.

"Did big brother leave my side too ?"
"Where am I currently ?"
Within his consciousness, Altima is sent into a special Dimension, where everything is pitch black, with a background of Stars all over his vision. Feeling like he became an astronaut, Altima floats around the dimension, seeing nothing but only pitch black surrounding, dimly lit with some stars from far away.
Without knowing how long has he floats around, Altima finally decided to stop from loving around.
"Let me try to spend some time here to just cultivate myself."
Adjusting himself into a meditation position, Altima started to cultivate, but within this void space, the Yin and Yang essence are practically not available at all. After struggling for a while, Altima finally gives up from continuing forcing his cultivation.
"Damn! There is no Yin and Yang Essence at all within this space."
Altima float again, this time, at a faster pace, where he felt like the space around him started to flows in a faster motion. Within minutes, he felt like he had been moving for at least 100 miles to 200 miles.
Stopping after he got bored with the traveling around in the void, Altima once again looks for something to do. This time, he chose to practice his martial art instead. Applying many different martial arts he had mastered a long time ago, Altima quickly spends all his attention in practicing the martial art steps without feeling fatigue at all.
"So, the Heavenly Mark Destruction Fist could be this profound. By applying a different pressure and speed in this two steps, the Fist could transform into a totally different martial arts immediately."
"I would never imagine that this Flaming Sun of Yang and Spirit Moon of Yin Technique have the similar yet profound activation movement. This Yin and Yang activation step are literally Mirrored toward each other, but profound in the moment of its activation."
"Yuan Wu Spear of Castle Breaking. Although I cannot summon my spear out now, but based on how I apply this pressure along with the Surging Wave Spear Technique and Wu Di Heirloom Spear Technique, this three different martial Art could branch together to form a more profound Spear movement."
Through activating the profound steps along his practice, Altima manages to revise his each movement, making each swing of his spear go smoother and swifter. With a continuous flow of Spear dance, Altima came out with a series of Spear Art which is originated from his life experience in utilizing a spear.
Unknowingly to him, as he continues to practice his martial art one by one, slight changes started to happen in the void surrounding him. The darkness started to get lighter, and a faint background started to appear behind the darkness.
With the martial arts he possess is totally unrevealed from its profoundness mystery, Altima move on to his understanding in the records he previously obtained from the Altar in Trap of Abyss, which located within the Big Hunt Spatial Realm.
"Legacy from GoldenLock."
Bringing out the memories regarding this immortal, Altima tried to understand his legacy once again. By going through the records he mentioned, and the difficulties he faced, Altima understand that when it is his turn, he will face a similar tribulation as well.
"For one to reach the ascension, he must have a legacy to follow along with his way. The immortal have been through flourish period and the difficult period."
"Betrayal, and the downfall of his inheritors, tribulation, and disappointment. This all contribute to his downfall. But as strong as he does, he still manages to leave a legacy, to guide the next potentially to ascend cultivators to bear his legacy along their path."
"Betrayal, Downfall, Death and Reincarnation."
"I have been through this all. This is my first Legacy, as well as my tribulation."
"My Second Legacy will be through what I am doing now, along with Big brother Yang Wu Di."
"To march as one with the Wu Di, to conquer the whole Lan Shen Dalu, to reform the whole continent, and bring us to the equal along the 16 continent! This will be the second Legacy of mine!"
With the enlightenment in his mind, the void started to get even brighter, and soon, the whole darkness from the void faded. What's left is only the land where Altima is sitting in meditation posture, a tree that seems at least two to three centuries old, a pond in the middle of the piece of land, and finally, A huge Cauldron that’s empty within but the flame below the cauldron is lit and burning slowly.
On the same time, before Altima manage to speak a word, Mobi suddenly appeared from the middle of the pond, and hopping on the water surface, until he reaches Altima's arms.
"Silly Altima, do you know how afraid I am when you act with such recklessness ?"
"Sorry brother Mobi, won't do it again."
"Anyway, I'm glad we both are here now, it means that we both pass the trial."
"Trial ? Brother Mobi, what is this place anyway ?"
"Silly Altima, this is the Inner Alchemy Treasure Palace! (Neidan Bao Gong)."
"Inner Alchemy Treasure Palace ?"
"This is the initial stage for one to Ascension!"
"This means that your Dao of Universe cultivation had reached a certain stage where you already manage to unlock the Inner Alchemy Treasure Palace!"
"But I didn’t do anything.. ?"
"You most probably get a certain enlightenment, but you doesn’t know about it."

Writer's Note:
Please take note, GoldenLock's legacy is during his ancient period, it is not known of why, and when is his legacy is recorded, which is why he state it as 8 Continent in his legacy, and not 16 Continent in the World of Rumanian.
GoldenLock's is mentioned in chapter 11, during the moment Altima join the first Big Hunt organized by the destroyed 51st Branch of Thousand Members Guild.
More will be explained in the Ascension, Bridge of Tribulation, as well as the Legacy / Inheritance / Karma. Please wish me luck in creating a smooth flow to combine this fact all together as a piece of great works!
