Days passed slowly. Watt, Jack, and Philip are on their journey all over the Arian challenging every cultivator possible.

They have challenged and battled many people in the Initial stages of the Grand realm, they fought with soldiers, city guards, Marquises, Military personnel everyone they could their hands on.

They are now making their way towards the Arian’s imperial capital and it is mainly for Jack as he wanted to meet some people there.

There is something weird in their journey, though. They haven’t met a single attacker from the six major powers, they seemed to have completely disappeared.

There are only twenty days for the six-month time period to be over, once they are done with the thing in the imperial capital, they have to start moving back to the San’s city.

By now, they had a minor breakthrough and reached the second level in the Grand realm.

Everything seemed to have been going smoothly for them, but what they don’t know is there is a dangerous pair of eyes that are watching them from hiding.

From a nearby tree, there is a young man, who is wearing completely black robes, even covering his face. Only, the black eyes are visible outside. There is a chain-sickle hanging on his back as he watched Watt’s gang eating some roasted meat.

The young man with the chain sickle suddenly turned around and threw his chain sickle into the woods. The chain extended and the sickle seemed to have pierced into something.

He slowly walked deeper and discovered a corpse hanging on to the chain sickle as it pierced to that person’s neck.

He looked around and once again started throwing the chain sickle it made a circle in the air and when pulled it back, there are some trees that crashed down as they were sliced down by the sickle.

When the trees are cleared, two more dead bodies can be seen along with the fallen trees.

He is the person who ordered the demon trio to deal with Watt and the gang, after their death, he came to here to deal with the situation himself, but to his surprise, he became interested in these three.

Since his subordinates were killed, he has to take in three new subordinates and when he saw these people, he was intrigued, they are training diligently and are participating in more and more duels. He was impressed and wanted to see their growth in the coming days.

So, the remaining major powers had a series of losses as their subordinates disappeared one after another.

They couldn’t do much as they don’t know who the killer is and even in the seer tower, all they could see is a person in black robes completely covering his face and a chain sickle which severed many throats.

Watt and the rest heard the commotion, but didn’t react as they are inside the woods there would be beasts for sure. Since there is no aura which they could sense, they didn’t take it seriously.,

The next day, they reached the capital and Jack started enquiring about somethings and had to take several permissions before they could finally reach their destination.

It is the special Imperial training academy and within that academy, there is a specific swordsman section.

This section has been established recently after the Sword Marshall and the six swords of the sword Marshall has joined the Arian.

Before they could join the force again, they have to finish ten years of teaching.

So, now there are seven incredible swordsmen in the academy and Jack is here to exchange knowledge with them.

He wanted to test his swordsmanship and the skills, he created recently against the master of the craft. They might not be of the same cultivation level, but since this is the true test of the skill, they don’t need to consider the cultivation level and fight on equal terms after suppressing cultivation.

For the next week, this is his plan and as expected, he wasn’t able to win any one of them. The battle experience of the seven people is not something that Jack could fathom and even when their cultivations are suppressed, Jack wasn’t able to deal with them.

One of the reasons is that his skill is not as good as theirs and the second reason being their body which was reformed during their breakthrough to the Nascent.

They can change their cultivation strength to that of the Grand realm, but it is not possible to change their body condition and reduce its strength.

But Jack wasn’t extremely disappointed. He took pointers on his new style of swordsmanship gained new knowledge on the flaws and suggestions on how to reduce these flaws.

After that, they started their journey back to Sam’s city.

Meanwhile, In Sam’s city.

The city has completely changed its shape. All the old buildings are replaced by new constructions. In the middle of the city, there is a majestic skyscr.a.p.er and Sam’s name was engraved on it.

The sky-scr.a.p.er has seventy floors built tall and could be seen miles away from the city.

With the sky-scr.a.p.er as the center, the city is now like a circle divided into four quadrants.

The first quadrant has all kinds of factories. There are some essential staff quarters, the second quadrant is full of homes for the staff and staff’s families. The remaining two quadrants are combined and it is the same as Sam’s park.

They are full of activities, tests, shops, and many others. There is one corner of this area with a large building, which is the starting point of one of Sam’s projects.

Sam is doing the finishing touches so that everything would be ready by the time of opening.

By this time, Arthur and his team are slowly adapting. They saw the construction projects that are built from scratch. The majestic buildings, the machines in the size of beasts, he was extremely surprised when he visited a factory once. There are some machines in particular for which the user doesn’t even need spiritual energy to manufacture things.

He never thought that such machines existed and the things he deemed impossible have been happening here daily.

He was now looking forward to the type of deal, Sam is going to make.

As an heir of a major power, he has access to much deeper knowledge than ordinary folks and he knew that the shadow sword is not something that can be easily controlled. In fact, other than the artisan and the first person who wielded the sword, there is no one in the world that was able to tame the sword.

Even, Murali one of the top experts in the world wasn’t able to make the sword submit, he was only able to seal the sword with his knowledge in formations and inscriptions.

So, Arthur doesn’t have much hope for the sword, even most powers don’t need the sword for their own use, they just want it so that it wouldn’t be in the hands of a person who might be able to wield it and there is a possibility that person might become their enemy.

There is no practical benefit from that sword, but when he saw the machines creatin various things, for example, he has seen a pressing machine which is used for grenade shells and when he saw the tests of the grenade, he was extremely impressed. Because, the assembly line of the grenades, didn’t even use their elemental abilities, all they needed was a small amount of spiritual energy.

There are many other things that can be manufactured without any need for too much stress from the artisans. Some of them are arrows, throwing knives, the empty formation plates, grenades.

There are even many gears and cylindrical components along with many other different metallic structures that he hasn’t seen in his entire life. But he has a feeling that these things would be another big thing.

He is extremely excited about what kind of deal Sam would make.

Meanwhile, Sam is inside his skyscr.a.p.er. The five floors of the skyscr.a.p.ers are for residence. One for him, one for Watt, one for Jack and another for Philip. The fifth one is for the assistants like Felicia and her brother, Marian who is the former leader of Sam’s battalion.

In the remaining fifteen floors, five are for training purposes. There are many machines which Sam created just so that he and his friends could train, even his beasts have some places where they could train.

As for the remaining ten floors, the first floor is for appointments and meetings, the second floor is an Artisan manufacturing point, where Sam would create somethings for custom orders and this is only for special cases where the customer might want to observe Sam doing it.

It can also be used to fool others so that they wouldn’t stress over to find Sam’s real workshop.

As for the remaining eight floors, they are surveillance rooms.

Among the city, there are some crystal towers that are placed in the form of attraction, but what people don’t know is that these small towers are placed in such a way that they act as nodes for the whole city to create a massive formation.

They act like communication towers. As Sam has bought numerous materials that are required to make communication tokens and recording crystals from the thunder god temple, he created his new invention which is a surveillance system.

There are many street lights placed in the whole city which has crystal tops, apart from that there are many other places where these crystal nodes are kept.

Sam called these crystal eyes. The incidents happening in front of the crystal eye will be sent to the Sky scrappers through these communication towers and shown on the screen. Along with the crystal eyes, there are many devices Sam made using the communication tokens as a base, which will direct sound.

There is an individual screen allotted to each crystal eye and there is an individual communication device attached to each screen that will give the sound.

In this way, the whole city is under Sam’s surveillance.
