Upon making up his mind, Wilbur continued to cultivate. The energy aura around him continued seeping into his body, strengthening it bit by bit.


    Despite the fact that Wilbur had entered the mirage dimension on Earth and experienced the increased gravity of the middle dimensional, the energy aura had remained the same as it was on Earth.


    The energy aura on Earth was still far too mildpared to what it was in the middle dimensions. However, the energy aura in the middle dimensions was not something anyone could withstand. Wilbur had adapted his body to the middle dimensions and thus strengthened his physique and cultivation through doing so. Cultivating in such a state only helped him absorb the energy aura at an even


    faster pace.


    At the same time, Babbit frowned as he stood before the Azure Dragon Lake in the Reyne family quarters. He heard that the Four Great Families had sealed off all the energy aura in four sources for their own use.


    Edmund had looked down on this, but he had tried it the previous day. Despite being a cultivator of dark energy just like Babbit, Edmund found that he could not control the powerful azure dragon energy in his body. It would run amok the second he tried to channel it, unleashing havoc on his system until he was forced to expel it.


    This had enraged Edmund to no end. After all, he had reced Babbit in the Reyne family to gain control over the Azure Dragon Lake and absorb its energy aura. Now, this n seemed to be a failure.


    Giving up just like that would render his trip to Buck Town useless. The other eight City Lords would make a mockery out of him, which was something Edmund wanted to avoid.


    Thus, he decided to give it one more try. Edmund took a breath, walking down the steps into theke. He closed his eyes and began to absorb the energy aura in the water once more.


    Yet it was not long before he opened his eyes again. Edmund had sensed that the energy aura in theke had reduced significantly. Without a doubt, this meant that there was a leak in theke again. The area around theke was due for a second massacre.


    An energy aura leak was to be kept top secret, and the only solution was to kill all cultivators who had benefited from it. However, Edmund''s priorities at the moment were something else.


    He wanted nothing more than to learn how to control and absorb the energy aura from the Azure Dragon Lake. After a few deep breaths, Edmund rxed his body and expanded his pores to begin absorbing the energy in theke.


    An hour went by before the whirlpool of energy around Edmund finally began to disappear. His body had reached the limit of energy aura it could absorb, and he could not take in anymore.


    Edmund opened his eyes, slowly channeling the energy aura to flow around in his body. He was delighted, as this meant that he had gained control over all the energy aura in the Azure Dragon Lake.
