Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 1019 – Training

Arthur knew his empire already embarked on the path of cultivation. But that didn't mean he could rest.

He needed to train again, raise his level to the immortal stage. 

Conquering ten worlds wasn't the only condition needed to ascend to the higher realms. He also needed to raise his strength and merge his two forms of energy into the golden pearl energy.

Right now he only managed to have golden pearl energy amounting to the size of a human head. But that wasn't enough. He needed to transform his entire energies inside his body into the golden pearl.

"I need to start cultivating again," he knew that the early stages of cultivation were always blessed by being fast. Starting from the core formation stage and higher, cultivation speed diminished a lot.

Not to mention he didn't live his past year focusing only on cultivation.

"How are others doing?" as he entered his garden world, he couldn't help but smile in content. The view of the vast garden world was really refreshing to his eyes.

The whole world was now brimming with endless people working diligently. In addition to anyone having good talent in both cultivation and mage, the garden world was now the main center for forging the needed weapons for the armies, preparing the necessary materials for building cities, and also making the consumables for his coins.

Arthur stood in the air watching all these people working to their best efforts. He couldn't help but recall the first time he got the garden world, it was much smaller and only filled with plants and an angry ancient guardian.

'The sect disciples are training, half of their time is for mage training and the other half is for cultivation,' Gege said.

"What about the peak leaders?"

'They are working their best, right now almost half managed to merge both energies and form a speck of golden pearl energy.'

Arthur smiled. In the garden world the time difference was such a great factor. Ten times difference played a great role in pushing the speed of training and cultivation for his friends and empire pillars.

He needed them to obtain the golden pearl energy fast. Without it his sect peaks wouldn't have a meaning. When he heard that almost half of them had already gotten the golden pearl in less than one month in the outside world time, he was greatly satisfied.

"Keep getting any talent inside and make sure to leave behind one region away from our control," Arthur gave his final orders before flashing and appearing just beside the Golam lake.

In his garden world he didn't forget to build cities as well. Right now the stunning place of the Golam lake can be enjoyed from a big city over its shores. 

Arthur appeared on a big platform, tens of meters away from the ground. It belonged to the main palace of the city, a palace that overlooked the lake and gave Arthur a better look over the lake.

As Arthur sat on the ground, he gave a final thought to the last words he gave to Gege. 

He came to this world as part of a competition. Of course he didn't need anything from that competition, but he wouldn't forget he came here based on it.

The competition was for taking control of the entire world in six months. Six months extended to almost two years now, but Arthur wasn't worried.

He knew when he came here that the organizers and those from higher dark clans must have arranged things for him to not come back alive.

And to make sure of that, they must have linked the condition of returning back to the overall control of the world.

Arthur's strength was growing, his empire was now considered a large behemoth. He got many mages from higher realms and wasn't afraid of coming back.

But he didn't choose to hurriedly return. After all this world was considered to be his first safe world, the first world of his empire without any enemies.

The best course of action would be to strengthen the foundation of the empire, taking all the time needed to train and organize things.

His trustworthy subordinates were all now training and getting stronger. Many of his talents were showing signs of progress, besides the empire's total population wasn't yet screened.

Trying to build in times of war was something impossible, Arthur knew that. As being blessed to have such a safe world, such a rare chance of peace, he decided to not easily abandon this opportunity.

Leaving behind one zone without conquering was his answer to all these thoughts. He decided to leave behind this small area, making the world not unified on intention.

As for how long he would remain hidden here, like a hidden dragon, he didn't know the answer yet. For him he wanted to stay until he reached the immortal stage.

But he knew that wasn't possible. Not to mention the fierce tribulation tests he needed to overcome at each major breakthrough, the time to cross each major step was also a nightmare.

Normally he took long years in his past life just to bypass these stages and eventually failed before attaining the immortal stage. So in this life, he lacked much confidence in getting himself past the immortal bottleneck.

Even though he had a higher chance than in his past life. This life he didn't only cultivate but also had the mage powers, in addition to the higher golden pearl energy.

"Having a higher form of energy means much easier training in the lower energy forms," he muttered to himself. If not for having his golden pearl energy already he wouldn't have much hope in reaching the immortal stage or exceeding it.

Logically speaking, he considered staying at the garden world for one year. But without knowing it, twenty years passed on him while sitting on and cultivating.

Twenty years inside the garden world was an astonishingly long period, but in fact only two years passed in the outside world.

And during all this time, nothing challenging happened for his empire, all but great news and big breakthroughs and accomplishments.

As for him, Arthur underestimated himself.. What he thought about before entering his long session of cultivation was correct, except for one thing… He wouldn't receive any more tribulations until the last bottleneck towards the immortal stage.
