Gloria was excited to hear what he had in mind, but she made sure not to show it. “Stop joking, Heptino. I know you’re just saying that to make me feel better,” she said with a wry smile. “I’m not joking, Gloria. No one will be able to bully you once you become powerful enough,” Heptino replied solemnly.
Gloria let out a sigh. “What kind of idea is this? Improving one’s cultivation takes a lot of time and hard work. There are no shortcuts that’ll allow me to become really strong overnight!”
“It’s indeed impossible to become really strong overnight, but you have the devouring technique and spiritual bone. You’ll be able to boost your strength significantly in a short amount of time if you use the right spiritual ley line,” Heptino replied.
“It’s not that simple. Given my current level, even a holy ley line wouldn’t be of much help. As for dragon ley lines… Those are extremely rare, and the one you guys discovered is being used on God Crusher, so I can’t use it anyway. Honestly, I’m just an outsider here in Void Sect!” Gloria said with a helpless expression.
“I’ll let you in on a little secret, Gloria. I discovered another dragon ley line slightly bigger than the one used for God Crusher. If I let you have it, you’ll be able to get stronger in no time!” Heptino exclaimed excitedly.
I was hoping to have Heptino get me a couple more holy ley lines, but he’s giving me a dragon ley line instead! This is truly a pleasant surprise!
With that in mind, Gloria pretended to reject his offer by saying, “No, I can’t accept that! You’re the one who discovered it, so you should be using it for your own cultivation instead!”
“I don’t have a spiritual bone, so the dragon ley line wouldn’t do me much good anyway. I think it’d be a lot better to let you have it instead. Besides, I have the ability to seek out spiritual ley lines, so I can easily find another dragon ley line!” Heptino replied solemnly.
“But…”
“No buts, Gloria! You will accept this gift if you truly care about me!” Heptino insisted stubbornly.
Gloria let out a sigh and put on a reluctant act. “All right… I’ll accept it for now. Just let me know if you ever need it back, and I’ll return it to you.”
Heptino was able to smile again when he saw her accept his gift.
All he wanted was for Gloria to keep getting stronger so she could be free of Primo’s control.
Meanwhile, in Yartran, the sudden downfall of the Glorian Order resulted in the subordinate state’s forces falling apart.
The few surviving high-ranking officials of Yartran gathered the forces scattered all over the country to mount a counterattack. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Despite still being under Levi’s rule, they were able to survive somehow.
As Levi had recently been preparing to enter Kenfort, he didn’t have time to deal with small fry like them.
Because of that, Yartran was able to survive the encounter.
A few of Yartran’s high-ranking officials were seated in a secret underground base as they discussed their next plan.
“According to some reliable intel from our spies, fighters from the Holy Guardians have shown up. Apparently, they’re searching for super-spiritual ley lines and found a rather interesting spot in Zarain. From what I’ve heard, that place contains a huge amount of high-level spiritual ley lines. Had it not been for the Holy Guardians, we’d have gotten a share of those spiritual ley lines too! It’s such a shame!”
The other officials shook their heads in helplessness and frustration.
They had always feared the Holy Guardians even when they were at their strongest, so there wasn’t anything they could do in their current situation.
The Holy Guardians could easily wipe them all out with just a few of its fighters.
“I heard rumors about Levi’s men showing up in Zarain as well. Do you think these two forces are going to clash?”
“Well, I certainly hope they do! We get to just sit back and enjoy the show!”
“That’s right! We’ll wait till Levi and the Holy Guardians’ fighters are wounded and then swoop in to finish them off!”
