After a few days .

The messengers who had come to congratulate Fang Yuan took their leave . Only a few elders of the Realm Alliance stayed behind .

In the main hall, there was a huge round table . Children of different spiritual auras were seated around the table .

"Alright! Fang Yuan, let me introduce them to you . These are the 7 Elders of the Realm Alliance . I'm sure you've met Xi Chen and Green Wood . Next up, we have Black Water, Thick Earth, Sharp Gold and Extreme Darkness!"

Elder Smelter's Fiery Child started to introduce all of them . Although he had an aged voice, he sounded proud .

"I am junior Fang Yuan . Please accept my greetings, Elders!"

A hint of gold flashed across Fang Yuan's eyes .

All these children had different spiritual auras as though they were wearing different masks . For instance, on Fiery Dragon Child, there was the illusionary image of Elder Smelter's face on it .

Knowing that all 7 elders had sent part of their soul within these messengers, Fang Yuan paid his respects .

He had seen Xi Chen before . Although he had only seen him in the form of the King Xia in the Ancient Realm, his real appearance was rather similar . Seeing Xi Chen looking at him, he returned a friendly smile .

On the other hand, Elder Green Wood's expression was a little unnatural .

Fang Yuan could only guess that this was because Green Wood's opposing faction now had the addition of a True Divine .

The other elders had their own special abilities and their spiritual auras were all extremely powerful . This was especially so for Elder Extreme Darkness . As the only female, she covered herself with a layer of black fog and made Fang Yuan feel the most threatened out of all the other elders . She also struck fear in the other elders and sat a distance away from everyone else .

"Mmm, you're not bad! No one would think that you can form the Divine Body so quickly . After discussion among the elders, we have decided to increase your level of rights to that of a 7th Leaf Cultivator . You are now the law enforcer of the alliance!"

Elder Xi Chen nodded his head and spoke in a gentle voice .

However, with Fang Yuan's shockingly powerful spiritual will and his Fiery Golden Eyes, he could observe Xi Chen's weakness straight away . It was the same for Elder Green Wood .

They were severely injured from the previous encounter in the Ancient World as they could not escape in time .

" . . . Haha, that's right! Fang Yuan, you need to put in even more effort now! It's a pity that you have achieved a breakthrough in martial arts . Therefore, we are unable to promote you to the position of an elder . However, I believe that is a small issue . Considering your potential, I'm sure our alliance will soon gain a new elder!"

Elder Green Wood initially appeared depressed but now, he had a cheerful smile .

With this, Elder Smelter appeared a little embarra.s.sed .

Fang Yuan observed them and appeared fearful . "I have only just achieved a breakthrough and have already used up most of my energy . How would I be able to think of another breakthrough? On a separate note, is the alliance leader here? Since I've joined the Realm Alliance, I believe I should pay my greetings to him . "

Fang Yuan could detect that each of these 7 Illusionary Divine elders was competing with each other in terms of spiritual aura .

Elder Extreme Darkness was the strongest among all . Fang Yuan made a guess that she had the cultivation level of a 9th Tier Illusionary Divine dream master . A dark energy continuously spiralled around her and Fang Yuan felt as though he was staring into a cold night and a bright moon as soon as he noticed her .

Next up, it was Xi Chen . This elder seemed to have the cultivation level of an 8th Tier Illusionary Divine dream master . Being the direct disciple of a Sage, he was special .

The other elders were all around the 7th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage and were all comparable to Smelter and Green Wood . However, their internal conflict had left Fang Yuan speechless .

"Alliance leader has important matters to see to . However, as the newest potential of the alliance, he will surely be glad to see you!"

It is only normal for a new up and coming member to pay respects to the alliance leader .

Xi Chen was stunned for a while before answering Fang Yuan .

'It seems like the plan against Da Qian has reached a crucial point where they now require a dream master in the Prominent Divine stage?'

Fang Yuan mulled for a while as he extracted information from Xi Chen's words .

"Alright, since you are now the law enforcer of the alliance, you need to be given responsibilities . Since you like the Golden Sun Prosperous Land, we have decided to give all of its rights to you . We shall also reduce the time period for you to not take up any missions to half a year . What do you think?"

The few elders exchanged glances as Extreme Darkness said her piece .

Her distinct female voice was mysterious and sinister, as though it could freeze one's soul .

"Since this is the request of the elders, I can only accept it . "

Fang Yuan sighed to himself .

He was already prepared that something like that would happen . With the war, all of the elders would also be busy . How would they allow him to get away scot-free without helping out?

By reducing the time period to half a year, it was the greatest compromise the alliance could come to .

If not for the fact that he had become a True Divine and was now renowned for killing Cang Xuansheng, it was still a question if he would even be offered such a deal .

'Half a year . . . It seems like the war is about to break out soon . . . No, it has already begun . Half a year later will be the final battle!'

Fang Yuan's eyes glistened as though he had understood something .

"That's great!"

The few elders exchanged glances once more . After settling everything, they took their leave from the children .

"Greetings, Lord!"

The children were all confused . After paying their respects to Fang Yuan, they took their leave as well .

"This type of magical transference technique . . . Firstly, they would need something to possess, for instance, these children which they would surely have done something to . Secondly, they cannot transfer too much ability to these children . … Previously, although those elders had powerful spiritual auras, they would be at most dream masters in the 6th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage . I will be able to destroy all of them!"

Fang Yuan started to plan ahead . "Alright . . . With this half a year, I shall return to master's hometown to pay a visit . I wonder how his old friends are . . . "

. . .

Leaf Region, Cloud Jade Mountain .

The region was a small one and there were few people living here . However, the spiritual tea produced from Cloud Jade Mountain was famous and they were even patronised by the royal family of Da Qian . Therefore, they could survive on trading tea leaves and could build a small town surrounding Cloud Jade Mountain .

Many cultivators had also gathered here to settle down and live a peaceful life .

On the streets, a bull carriage was on the move . Fang Yuan wore a set of comfortable robes and a bamboo hat on his head . He laid back, appearing relaxed and lazy .

He had already obtained the full inheritance from his Master, Master Wenxin . Other than the secret 8 Gates Sword Array of a dream soldier master, there was a simple description of his hometown in the inheritance .

'My nickname is 'Heartless' and I am from Cloud Jade Mountain, Leaf Region in Da Qian Empire . I am from the Ye Family and have cultivated in swordplay from young . The elders have given me the name of 'Li' . . . I have achieved a breakthrough in Wu Zong at the age of 15 and have made a small name for myself . As I roamed across regions, I stumbled across the inheritance of a dream master at the age of 18 . From then, I had officially become a dream master and was recruited into the Imperial Court as a Hidden Dragon Guard . '

Master Heartless was a Hidden Dragon Guard, a law enforcer of the Da Qian Imperial Court!

Unfortunately, Fang Yuan did not want to follow his master's steps with regards to this . Furthermore, he was only forced to find a backing only because he had offended the Divine Lotus Cult and from there resolve the conflict through the Realm Alliance .

If Fang Yuan were to join the Imperial Court, he would find himself in more trouble as the Imperial Court was all the while against the Divine Lotus Cult .

"As a Hidden Dragon Guard, Master has the resources from the Imperial Court to cultivate himself . He was extremely powerful and under his 8 Gates Sword Array, he had killed countless people and from then created animosity with the two evil sects . . . After forming the entire 8 Gates Sword Array, he was only inferior to dream masters in the Prominent Divine stage . He had even killed a few direct disciples of Sages and was heartless . From then on, he was nicknamed 'Heartless' . . . "

Fang Yuan sighed as he recalled the information which he had once read from the inheritance:

"Even with the protection of the Imperial Court, I have made too many enemies . Together with some crazy dream masters, they have caused the Misfortune of Cloud Jade Mountain . They had killed my master's disciples in one night and even severely injured my masters' physical body . Fortunately, Master managed to escape but his cultivation was greatly affected . With that, the Imperial Court started to give him a cold treatment . . . Because of this, Master has given up hope on the Hidden Dragon Guards . After creating chaos for them, he left and arrived at the mainland where he adopted me . . . "

Leaning on the carriage, Fang Yun was in a daze as he recalled all that had happened in the mainland .

Because of this, if Fang Yuan were to reveal the 8 Gates Sword Array, he would make the entire world turn against him!

"The dream master which had killed Master's disciples was the sect head of Source Seeking Sect . He was the renowned Demon Killing Divine Pen, Li Qingmian . Li Qingmian was a dream master in the Prominent Divine stage! He had the power to create things at will! With a pen, he can create the world . With a flower, he can create heaven!"

This opponent was still too strong, even though Fang Yuan had already become a True Divine .

"Of course, I cannot do anything to Source Seeking Sect . However, during the impending war between the 5 Grand Organisations and Da Qian Imperial Court, I might be able to take his opportunity . . . "

Fang Yuan sighed . "As of now, I need to hide and visit the few places that Master has mentioned . . . "

To hide and strike when the opportunity arose was a theory which all dream masters understood .

The family members of the Ye Family which Master Heartless had come from had already escaped . They had used secret techniques to prevent predictions and even changed their names just to avoid trouble .

From then till now, there should still be a few survivors carrying the blood of the Ye Family .

As the bull carriage moved forward, Fang Yuan arrived at a large city in no time .

This was Cloud Jade City, where the Ye Family once lived .

Fang Yuan dressed up as a businessman . Moving his muscles about, he altered his appearance and took up the look of a spiritual tea trader who had arrived from other regions . After walking around the streets aimlessly, he arrived at the East side of the city .

This area was largely different from the rest . It had been geographically altered before and had a few connected lakes . There were many types of vegetation being planted here as well . Looking at the pleasing sight of greenery and the lack of people, this sight was something the other areas of the city could not offer .

"This place . . . It should be where the Ye Family's mansion once stood… . . . "

Looking at the crystal-clear lake, Fang Yuan was overwhelmed with emotions .

Realising that there was a small tea shop nearby, he quickly went there and ordered a pot of tea .

Although it was not spiritual tea, the fact that they were close to Cloud Jade Mountain explained the quality and fragrance of the tea .

"This is good tea!"

Fang Yuan acted surprised and glistened his eyes .

"Haha . . . Although my tea cannot be compared with spiritual tea, it is one of the best among the normal teas . This skill of mine was obtained years ago when I served in a tea shop of the Ye Family . Among all the tea masters and chefs, I was among one of the best . . . "

The shop owner had a head full of white hair . He gazed afar as though he was reminiscing . "Unfortunately . . . The Ye Family was destroyed in one night and the tea forest was burnt down . Even half of Cloud Jade City was destroyed . That was one of the worst nights . . . "

Fang Yuan silently listened as he drank his tea with a calm look .

After a while, he placed a silver coin on the table and left .
