Lily, from the Seventh Realm, had already arrived, leading a contingent of 7,000 disciples. To train all other disciples into one formation and look over the arrangements of the formation, she came personally on her own.
Meanwhile, in the northernnds of the Blue, preparations were well underway at the War God Temple. The temple, an ancient structure of immense power and mystery, is the target site for the gathering.
The 13 miles around the temple is the sacred ground where no one was allowed until the day of Immortal beast spirit gathering. So, all the disciples were making camps around this perimeter. Stay updated with empire
The Wizard Association''s elders had mobilized their forces, transforming the temple grounds into a sprawling encampment capable of housing thousands of disciples. Rows of tents and magical castles lined the perimeter.
But the upants from various realms preparing for the trial were shifted to the 9 realm association pce. To maintain the secrecy of Lotus Chakra formation Jason spent a lot of wealth to amodate all 70,000 disciples and the servants in one ce.
Five days before the Immortal Beast Spirit Gathering was set tomence, a new presence arrived on the Blue, one that caused a ripple of awe and fear to spread among those already present.
An enormous, luxurious moving treasure pce appeared at the teleportation point, its size dwarfing everything around it. The pce gleamed in the sunlight, its walls adorned with intricate carvings of mythical beasts and ancient symbols.
At its head was the emblem of the Golden Whale, a symbol of the Nine Realms association.
Inside the treasure pce, Simen, the son of the Nine Realms Association head, stood by a massive window, his sharp eyes taking in thendscape of the Blue. Despite the grandeur of the view, a sneer yed on his lips as he stared down at the vastnd below.
"Hmmh… such a tiny," he muttered, his voice filled with disdain. "And yet, it held the secret to change the fate of the Nine Realms. How amusing."
His words carried the weight of arrogance, a reflection of his upbringing in one of the most powerful families in existence. The soldiers and servants apanying him knelt as one, their heads bowed in deference as the treasure pce began its movement toward the northernnds.
The pce was heading for the War God Temple, where Simen intended to oversee the final preparations for the Lotus Chakra formation.
As the night deepened, The Wizard Association''s elders moved through the War God Temple, ensuring that everything was in ce for the gathering. Powerful barriers were erected around the temple, designed to keep out those who had no ce in the trials.
The skies above were filled with magical formations, each one carefully crafted to ensure that the event would proceed without interference.
During the day of Immortal beast spirit gathering, the people with greater cultivation than Grand master magus stage will automatically be thrown out by war god temple spirit.
In the distance, the treasure pce with the 9 realms association Golden Whale symbol stood like a monument. Simon watched as his attendants prepared the Lotus Chakra formation, his mind already turning to the strategies he would employ in the days toe.
Back in the Devil Mountain Forest, Kent continued to fight, unaware of the gathering storm on the Blue. His fists were bloodied, his body battered and bruised, but he refused to give in.
The beasts pressed in from all sides, their numbers relentless, but Kent''s will was unbreakable.
He hade too far to be defeated now, and with every ounce of strength he had left, he fought on.

7th Realm,
Quinn Family Manor…
Thea stood before the towering gates of the Queen Mother''s personal castle, her heart heavy with a mixture of apprehension and resignation. The summon had been unexpected, but not entirely surprising.
The Queen Mother, Soya, had always wanted to ask Thea about things that happened on the blue. With Lily gone, Thea had be an easy target for Soya''s scorn.
As the grand doors swung open, Thea was led into the opulent throne room, where the Queen Mother sat surrounded by her servants. Thea stepped forward, bowing respectfully before the woman who is the reason for everything.
Soya''s lips curled into a cold, mocking smile. "Thea, my dear, how good of you toe. I trust you''ve been well?" The words dripped with insincerity, and Thea knew better than to respond with anything more than a polite nod.
"I''ve summoned you here because I''ve been thinking about your grandmother, that is my mother-inw," Soya continued, her tone casual but with an undercurrent of menace. "Tell me, Thea, what do you know about the child she protected? Surely, you must have some knowledge."
Thea''s heart skipped a beat at the mention of her grandmother. The memories were painful, but she kept her expression neutral, her voice steady as she replied, "I only lived with my grandmother, Mydy. I don''t know anything about a child."
Soya''s eyes narrowed, clearly unsatisfied with the answer. "Oh? Are you sure? I find it hard to believe that you wouldn''t know anything about such a significant detail. Perhaps you''re just forgetting?"
Thea remained silent, her mind focused on keeping her emotions in check. She knew that any sign of weakness would only embolden Soya further.@@novelbin@@
The Queen Mother''s patience began to wear thin. "Speak, Thea! Don''t y coy with me. I want to know everything."
"I''ve told you everything I know," Thea replied quietly, her voice barely above a whisper. "There was no child. Only my grandmother and I."
Soya''s eyes shed with anger, but after a moment, she waved a hand dismissively. "Useless. I should have known you wouldn''t be of any help. Get out of my sight. You''re as worthless same like that olddy."
Thea bowed once more, swallowing the bitter retort that threatened to escape her lips. Without another word, she turned and left the throne room, the sound of Soya''sughter echoing in her ears as she walked away.
