When Alex had first obtained the Ultimate Book of Medicine, he had carefully inspected his motherâs
body. She was now very healthy. How did she show that she had an illness?
However, when he pressed for more details, Grant Xenos shook his head and replied, âI donât know the
specifics. Itâs all just hearsay, and it sounded dire. As for why your mother doesnât show any signs of
illness, I donât know either.â
Alex frowned deeply. However, even after thinking for a while, he still couldnât figure it out.
Now that Grant was his servant via the Soul Contract, it was clear that he wasnât lying.
Right now, he couldnât figure out the truth, but what surprised Alex even more, was the place in front of
him. They had been above the sea earlier. How did he wake up here? Could it be that he had been
unconscious for longer than he thought?
As a result, he was shocked when he asked.
âWhat?!â
âThis is a force field hidden in the sea? The entire island is surrounded by a force field?â
That was incredible.
Alex understood the power of an array and formations, but it was a huge deal to set up such a large
formation enhancement.
The spiritual and magical tools used must have been massive.
At this time, Yuno said, âWhatâs so great about the force field? Itâs nothing more than an enchantment
on a square inch of land, and it was done by borrowing the power of nature! The Holy Book in your
hand, the place it points to, at minimum, would be a small world on its own. Itâs also a small universe on
its inside! Alright, Iâm not interested in this enchantment, but I feel there may be some great things in
the depths of this island.â
Grant pointed to the palace that was hidden by the dark. âIn there?â
Yuno nodded. âMost probably!â
Grantâs eyes widened as he looked at the magnificent palace that stood in front of him like a giant
beast, and for a moment, his heart surged. As Lord Commander of Department Six, he had longed for
the path of cultivation. It was unfortunate that he had spent so much time yet could not obtain any
secrets to any cultivation techniques. It seemed as though everything was just some myth made up by
ancient people.
However, now, the truth was here.
Alex wanted to go over and find out, too.
Yuno said, âThis may be a sect that has been leftover by the ancient times. Then, the sect was
destroyed for some reason, but the force field that guards the sect still exists. Countless things like this
happened before, and thatâs how some of the so-called secret realms, Holy Land, came into existence.â
Grant looked at Yuno and finally asked the question that had been on his mind the whole time. âMiss
Larsen, from what I know, youâve always been an ordinary doctor. Not too long ago, your innocence
had nearly been tainted, but with the abilities youâve displayed now, I believe that even the ancestor of
the Glen family wouldnât be able to handle you. I really donât understand.â
Yuno didnât want to bother so much with just Alexâs servant and said, âThere are a lot of things you
donât understand, and I canât tell you! If you properly follow your masterâs orders, then I may be able to.
In the future, he will leak out some things for you. Youâll find it very useful!â
Grant felt moved by that.
But then, he shook his head. âMy initial ultimate goal was to break through into the rank of Martial
Honor to become a Martial Saint like in the legends. But, I now understand that there is always
someone better out in the world, and everything Iâve chased for, in the eyes of you people, is just a
joke! Now, Iâm already more than seventy years old. How many years do Ihave left to live? Itâs enough
now just to see a real cultivation master, and Iâm satisfied.â
Yuno snorted. âHow short-sighted! When youâve stepped into the realm of cultivation, increasing your
lifespan is just a small matter. So what if youâre in your seventies? Thatâs still considered to be just a
baby!â
They walked toward the palace. However, at this moment, in the direction of the palace, streams of
light suddenly lit up the place.
Snap, snap, snap!
The lights in the palace lit up one by one. Soon, the entire place was brightly lit.
All three of them were stunned, looking at each other.
âThere are people in the palace?â
âThere are still people from the sect who are alive?!â
Yuno immediately waved her hand. âCome, letâs go and see!â
All three were masters, and even though Phoebeâs body was as weak as a chickenâs, with Yunoâs
blessing, her strength had significantly increased.
