Alex finished roaming the garden in the two days, going through the many internal pathways that snaked around the lungs. The breathing gardens were a small maze by themselves, only with no dead ends.

After making a little more progress in the garden, he made his way to the plaza, where he had been called to.

People were gathering at the plaza to discuss how they were going to approach attacking the other group.

These two were truly only the two groups remaining in the secret realm unless people from the maze decided to become one. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

The plaza was a massive white building with a plaque at the front that had its name written on it.

Trueheart Plaza.

That man had really tried to sneak in the organ’s names where he could. Alex found that a little funny.

He walked in and was immediately surprised by the thick aura that he now knew was clearly Saber aura. He had been told Sixghost had cultivated his Saber aura here, but he hadn’t expected it to be this potent.

If it were Sword Aura, Alex would have immediately sat down and seen what he could learn from it to improve his Sword Domain, since this was most definitely a tier higher than that. Alex ignored the aura for now, noticing the white path that led into the large building. Thankfully, while the walls and ceilings were fully white, the floor was dark enough that he could separate the white path.

He saw that it led up front into one of the other sections of the palace, which he decided to check once the meeting was over.

A few people tried to stop him as he had only just joined and wasn’t easily recognized, but Miao Wupeng had been waiting for him, so it became clear to everyone that Alex was part of the group as well.

“Come, we’re meeting in the 4th hall,” the man said, taking Alex along.

Alex saw that there were 4 massive halls within the plaza, each one surrounded by many smaller rooms. Alex walked into the fourth hall that was far to the right and entered to see over 100 different individuals gathered already.

The open ceiling hall let in bright sunlight, making the beautiful white stone of the surrounding wall shine even brighter. Alex saw people from everywhere gathered here, most of whom were surrounding a few key people, one of which was the woman named Primrose.

The woman saw him and spoke to a woman beside her. Alex noticed that the woman she had spoken to wore the Blue Silk sect’s robes. She was a fellow sect disciple.

The woman walked up to Alex and looked at him closely. “They say you’re from our sect, but I didn’t see you when we entered. And you aren’t wearing the proper robes,” she said.

Alex looked back at her. “Greetings to you too,” he said and pulled out his his nameplate from the sect. “If you’re questioning my authenticity, this should help, right?”

The woman raised her eyebrows. “So you were telling the truth,” she said. “Why aren’t you wearing the robes?”

“I don’t have to,” Alex said, explaining no further.

The woman didn’t seem offended by the answer, just curious. “May I ask you, senior sister? What rank are you in the sect?” he asked.

The woman seemed taken aback by the question. “Do you not know who I am?” she asked.

“Should I?” Alex asked.

“I’m Tong Fanguan,” the woman said. “I rank 18,532 in the sect, the strongest disciple under the Immortal Origin realm.”

“I see. Thank you for answering,” Alex said with a small bow. He sensed her cultivation base at Immortal Ascendant 9th realm.

He needed to reach the 15000th rank to get a single ticket. ‘Just what did the sect master expect of me?’ he wondered for a second, especially given the fact that they should not know just how strong he was supposed to be.

‘Even with my current rate, that will take me about a century to achieve,’ he thought. But shortly after, he changed his views on the matter as he realized that strength was likely not the only factor in the ranking.

There were such things as contribution points as well. “I think the majority of us are here, so we should begin,” someone said to the group, and they began converging around the central area to chat.

There were no more than 14 individuals in the group that had a cultivation base of either the 8th realm or 9th realm, which made them the ones who made the decisions.

Alex was only just joining, so he stayed close by but did not join the conversation.

“I estimate there to be around 100 people in the other group, which is slightly lower than ours, but they do have stronger fighters so it evens out,” a young man spoke. He was slightly haggard looking, tired even. His face was quite pale too.

“Thanks to Brother Mightswan here, we have managed to gather important intel,” one of the people said, leading to many cheering for him.

The young man gave a meek little smile and went back to having an emotionless face.

“Their group is more split than ours, so they can’t come to aid if we surprise one-half of them,” another one added.

“That is the plan for now,” Miao Wupeng said. “We should be able to easily attack them since they are separated. But, we need to prepare for when they are together. We should be able to handle most of them, but those three decided to group together, and that has made things nasty.”

“I can handle Ye Wenjie,” Tong Fanguan said. “I can’t guarantee that I can win against her, but I should be able to keep her occupied long enough. Those other two will be the problem.”

Primrose nodded, and the others did so as well.

“Brother Dawnblade, can I ask you to keep our senior sister occupied?” Miao Wupeng asked.

Alex shrugged. “Sure,” he said. “If you weren’t lying about her strength, it shouldn’t be a problem.”

“Great!” the man said and turned around. “I will accompany you to fight with your senior brother. That way, we have all 3 of the major ones handled. The rest of you have to manage the others should they be there when we attack.”

A few people got confused, turning to look at Alex and then to the man.

“How is he supposed to handle Ren Muwen?” the lady Tong asked.

“He can,” Miao Wupeng answered confidently. “He’s from your sect. You know how,” Primrose said.

Tong Fanguan turned toward Alex. “Are you sure? You don’t have to take on her. She’s… strong.”

“It’s alright,” Alex said. “I can survive the fights, and that’s enough.”

Seeing his confidence, they didn’t ask any further. Everyone knew about the Blue Silk sect’s treasures by now, so they believed that was what he was going to use.

“So, we should attack the—”

A shout came from outside. “We’re under attack!” Heads turned and people immediately ran out to see a large group of people flying toward the Trueheart Plaza.

“That’s…” “They came for us?”

People were surprised, but not worried. They had all gathered there anyway, so there was nothing for them to worry about.
