Clayne woke up slowly from his sleep.
The hallway outside remained silent.
Completely silent.
The piled corpses blocking the stairs remained unmoving while the dim school lights illuminated the cleaned fourth floor hallway with pale yellow light. The sll of blood was mostly gone now because of the spiritual water he used earlier, though faint traces still lingered throughout the surroundings.
anwhile, inside the classroom he claid for himself, bags were scattered everywhere.
School bags.
Plastic bags.
Ergency bags.
Snack bags.
Several were ripped apart already after his previous searches while others remained untouched. Different kinds of food filled the room now.
Biscuits.
Canned goods.
Juices.
Chocolates.
Chips.
Dried food.
And then his eyes landed on the fruits resting quietly on top of one desk.
Two apples.
Bright red.
Fresh.
Clayne slowly stared at them afterward.
Imdiately, a thought appeared inside his head.
What if he placed them inside the tiny world and let them absorb spiritual qi?
Compared to chips, fruits probably contained far more natural essence already, so if spiritual qi gathered into them, then maybe their effects would beco much better for cultivation.
The more he thought about it, the more tempted he beca.
However, after thinking quietly for a while, he slowly shook his head.
"No."
He needed learning concealnt arrays first.
That was far more important right now.
Strength alone was not enough anymore.
He already understood that clearly.
This apocalypse contained too many horrifying things already.
Mutated undead.
Parasite humans.
Cocoons.
Climbing zombies.
Unknown creatures.
And now even the higher realm from the tiny world existed.
If he could conceal himself properly, his survival rate would rise trendously.
anwhile, Clayne slowly reached toward the tiny world afterward.
The floating islands drifted peacefully beneath his gaze while mist slowly covered parts of the Silent Sword Sect territory beautifully.
Imdiately, several disciples noticed him.
Then afterward, the disciples beca excited.
"Senior Deity!"
"Senior Deity is here!"
"Greetings Senior Deity!"
Several disciples imdiately bowed respectfully while others smiled brightly.
anwhile, Clayne leaned closer slightly while resting his chin against one hand.
"So how’s your day?"
Imdiately, the disciples beca even more excited afterward.
One disciple quickly stepped forward respectfully.
"Senior Deity, because of the spiritual crumbs you bestowed upon us earlier, many disciples managed improving their cultivation greatly!"
Another disciple quickly added afterward.
"Our injuries healed much faster too!"
"And the spiritual qi around the sect beca denser compared before!"
"Even ordinary disciples are progressing rapidly now!"
Another disciple looked emotional afterward.
"Senior Deity truly saved our Silent Sword Sect."
"If not for Senior Deity, we would have been annihilated completely by the Blood Soul Sect."
Several others imdiately nodded afterward while continuously thanking him respectfully.
anwhile, Clayne scratched his cheek awkwardly.
Honestly, he still felt weird whenever they called him Senior Deity.
But after hearing it countless tis already, he slowly beca used to it.
Then suddenly, one disciple spoke excitedly afterward.
"Senior Sister Zi Yue returned earlier!"
Clayne blinked afterward.
"She’s back?"
The disciples imdiately nodded enthusiastically.
"She returned together with Senior Brother Li and the other Core Formation disciples!"
"They are discussing the Blood Soul Sect situation inside the main palace right now!"
anwhile, Clayne looked toward the enormous palace floating above the central island.
The palace looked majestic.
Ancient.
Mysterious.
Massive white jade pillars supported the enormous structure while silver waterfalls flowed endlessly from floating cliffs surrounding it. Spiritual cranes circled peacefully through the skies while thick immortal mist drifted beautifully around the palace halls.
Golden spirit lamps illuminated the surroundings softly while countless sword marks decorated the ancient walls, each containing terrifying sword intent hidden within them.
The deeper parts of the palace looked even more extraordinary.
There were training halls.
ditation chambers.
Ancient libraries.
Sword arenas.
Massive eting halls.
Endless corridors.
So sections even floated independently within the air while connected by glowing spirit bridges.
anwhile, Clayne suddenly froze afterward.
Because he realized sothing.
He could see everything.
Not just outside.
Inside too.
Even the deepest corners appeared clearly before him.
It felt like his consciousness itself entered the palace.
Imdiately, Clayne beca shocked afterward.
"What the hell?"
His vision moved smoothly through the palace afterward before finally stopping inside a massive discussion chamber.
Inside, several Core Formation cultivators sat around a circular jade table.
Zi Yue was there.
Senior Brother Li was there.
And beside them were several unfamiliar disciples radiating powerful spiritual qi.
All of them already reached Core Formation Realm.
anwhile, they were discussing sothing seriously.
"The Blood Soul Sect definitely won’t stop here," one Core Formation disciple spoke grimly.
"They lost too many people already."
"Their powerful masters died."
"Their ancestor Fu Shugao died."
"Several core elders died too."
"They will certainly seek revenge."
Another disciple clenched his fists afterward.
"The Blood Soul Sect has always been ruthless."
"They massacre entire sects rely because of minor conflicts."
"If they truly launch a full scale attack, our Silent Sword Sect might not survive."
anwhile, another disciple sighed heavily afterward.
"But fortunately, Senior Deity exists."
Imdiately afterward, Senior Brother Li nodded confidently.
"Indeed."
"Senior Deity killed Fu Shugao effortlessly."
"And Fu Shugao’s strength was already close to Blood Soul Sect’s Patriarch’s level."
"If the Blood Soul Sect attacks again, Senior Deity can simply destroy them entirely."
Several disciples imdiately nodded afterward while relief appeared on their faces.
anwhile, Zi Yue slowly released a long breath afterward.
"It is truly fortunate our Silent Sword Sect encountered Senior Deity."
"Otherwise, we would have perished already."
"Not just us."
"Even our inheritance."
"Our legacy."
"Our disciples."
"Everything would have vanished completely."
Her expression beca serious afterward.
"So regardless what happens, we must always satisfy Senior Deity’s curiosity regarding immortal cultivation."
"He seems extrely interested in cultivation knowledge."
"We absolutely cannot disappoint him."
Senior Brother Li imdiately nodded afterward.
"Agreed."
Another disciple nodded seriously afterward too.
"Senior Deity’s existence exceeds our understanding already."
"Yet despite such terrifying strength, he still speaks kindly toward us."
"That alone is already our great fortune."
anwhile, Zi Yue slowly looked downward afterward.
Then quietly, she spoke aloud.
"I wonder why Senior Deity joined our Silent Sword Sect."
Her expression looked complicated afterward.
"Regardless the reason, we are truly fortunate."
Suddenly, Clayne’s voice resounded throughout the palace.
"Because I’m bored."
The entire discussion chamber froze instantly afterward.
Every Core Formation disciple widened their eyes imdiately while looking around frantically.
anwhile, Clayne could not help grinning afterward.
"What?"
"You all don’t want joining your Silent Sword Sect?"
Imdiately, all the disciples panicked afterward.
"No!"
"Absolutely not!"
"It is our greatest fortune!"
"We are incredibly honored!"
"Senior Deity joining our sect is the greatest blessing our Silent Sword Sect ever received!"
Zi Yue imdiately stood respectfully afterward.
"Senior Deity misunderstands us completely!"
"This junior rely wondered how our insignificant sect gained such favor from Senior Deity!"
Senior Brother Li nodded rapidly afterward.
"Yes!"
"Even ancient immortal sects would dream endlessly hoping an existence like Senior Deity joins them!"
Another disciple imdiately added afterward.
"If word spreads outside, countless sects would envy us to death!"
anwhile, Clayne chuckled quietly afterward.
Then suddenly, he asked curiously.
"By the way."
"Our sect beca misty recently."
"The surroundings look pretty good too."
"The fog beca thicker everywhere."
"What is that?"
Imdiately afterward, the disciples understood what he ant.
Zi Yue quickly explained respectfully afterward.
"Senior Deity, that is our sect’s concealnt array."
"The Silent Sword Mist Array."
Clayne’s eyes imdiately lit up afterward.
anwhile, Zi Yue continued speaking carefully.
"Our Silent Sword Sect specializes in concealnt, assassination, silent movent, hidden sword techniques, and stealth thods."
"The Silent Sword Mist Array is one of our sect’s foundational formations."
"It uses spiritual qi circulating throughout the surrounding mountains and islands while creating dense spiritual mist."
"The mist itself contains illusion properties."
"If outsiders enter carelessly, their senses beco confused."
"They lose direction."
"They see false paths."
"They hear misleading sounds."
"Even spiritual senses beco distorted inside the mist."
Senior Brother Li added afterward.
"Additionally, the mist conceals the sect itself."
"Ordinary cultivators cannot locate our territory easily."
"Even stronger cultivators require specific techniques breaking through the formation."
Another disciple spoke proudly afterward.
"If enemies invade recklessly, they beco trapped endlessly within the mist while our disciples silently eliminate them one by one."
Zi Yue nodded afterward before continuing further.
"The formation also weakens enemy perception."
"Footsteps beco difficult hearing."
"Hidden attacks beco harder sensing."
"And because our Silent Sword Sect techniques specialize in silent killing thods, the mist formation greatly increases our advantage."
anwhile, Clayne listened extrely carefully afterward.
His eyes slowly brightened more and more.
This was exactly what he needed.
Concealnt.
Hidden movent.
Distorted senses.
Silent attacks.
Everything matched perfectly with his current situation inside the apocalypse.
Imdiately afterward, Clayne leaned closer slightly.
Then excitedly, he spoke.
"I’m interested."
"Tell more!"
