Chapter 407: Chapter 407
"It seems my promotion to a true Saint will have to be delayed for a bit." Alex closed his eyes slightly, he still did not understand what these hidden factions were suddenly emerging for. Although the reason was unclear, there inevitably had to be one.
"First Elder, send people to investigate if there are any unusual movements on the continent recently, or if any secret realms have been born." After considering it again and again, Alex decided to hand this matter over to the Great Elder.
"Cedric receives the order." Cedric nodded.
"I will trouble the Great Elder with this," Alex said.
"I hope there will be news soon, so we can figure out exactly what these hidden factions are trying to do."
The Blue Water Sect.
Deep within the sect, the middle-aged man sitting cross-legged at the center of a lake abruptly opened his eyes, he was none other than the Sect Master of the Blue Water Sect.
He raised his head, looking in the direction of the Hale family, his eyes seemed to pierce through everything. "The Hale family... a Half-Saint. How could there be such a powerful Half-Saint in this mortal world?"
"Even I cannot be confident in defeating him."
"I hope he does not get involved in the matters of Cloud Deer Island, otherwise..."
Before he even finished speaking, absolute killing intent surfaced in his eyes.
Time slipped away bit by bit. In the blink of an eye, another month passed.
The major factions of the lower realm were all targeted, with people showing up at their doors to extort resources.
In worse cases, more than half of their sect treasuries were hollowed out, yet they dared to be angry but did not dare speak.
Half-Saint powerhouses from certain factions emerged to fight back, but it was of no help, they were all suppressed by the experts of the hidden factions.
These scenes played out across the entire lower realm, it was as if all factions were undergoing a great reshuffling.
Except for the Hale family.
On the second day of the new month, Alex received news from Cedric.
"At the Extreme Sea of the lower realm, a small island has mysteriously descended, named Cloud Deer Island."
"As for Cloud Deer Island, it is unknown what lies on it."
"The entire island is shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see through, it is suspected to be a hidden faction as well."
"However, the mist on Cloud Deer Island is gradually dissipating. In about a month, the mist will completely clear."
This was all the news Cedric transmitted back.
"Cloud Deer Island... what kind of place is this?" Alex’s gaze flickered slightly, and he decided to go take a look for himself.
"I wonder if there is any Half-Saint level protection in the system shop." Alex naturally could not just leave like this, if his base was attacked while he was gone, the loss would far outweigh the gain.
[Half-Saint Level Puppet: Activated with spiritual energy, yields a Half-Saint Realm puppet with a time limit of two hours. The puppet’s realm intensity depends on the user. Price: 5,000 Providence Points.]
Very quickly, Alex found what he wanted.
"5,000 Providence Points." Alex still felt heartache over the cost, but he had no choice, 5,000 Providence Points vanished, exchanged for the Half-Saint level puppet.
The puppet’s figure was somewhat similar to Alex’s.
In other words, this puppet possessed his full strength.
"One hour should be enough." Alex’s gaze flickered, and he immediately handed this item over to Lara, before leaving, he left a wisp of his own aura on the puppet.
"I will be leaving the Hale family for a few days, if a Half-Saint invades, inject spiritual energy directly into this, it can hold them off for a moment," Alex instructed.
"Lord Saint Lord, Lara understands." Lara nodded.
Alex left the Hale family.
The Continent, the Extreme Sea.
A figure walked between heaven and earth, only stopping when he drew near that small island, this person was none other than Alex.
Alex looked at the small island ahead, utilizing his Saint’s abilities, he was still unable to see through the island completely.
Faintly, he noticed there were no buildings on the island.
The outer periphery was entirely covered in spirit herbs, each stalk was surrounded by spiritual energy, and one glance was enough to tell their quality was not low.
"It is a secret realm without a doubt." Alex quickly determined the nature of this small island, the emergence of those hidden factions was likely related to it as well.
"I wonder if I can enter if I get closer." Alex’s mind shifted, he was just about to approach, but quickly stopped.
If one could easily enter, would the Half-Saints of those hidden factions not have gone in long ago?
However, holding onto a try-and-see mentality, Alex still approached Cloud Deer Island.
Sure enough, just as he thought, this small island had a restrictive barrier, even as a Half-Saint, he was unable to get inside.
Alex reached out and tapped the barrier, it merely rippled, without any other reaction.
"Cedric said the mist here will take another month to dissipate."
"Then within this month, those hidden factions will inevitably make their moves." Alex’s gaze shifted.
If these hidden factions truly came for this, then his speculation was correct.
Since he could not enter, Alex could only make a rough guess before turning back and returning to the Hale family.
At this time, within the sects of the various hidden factions.
"Cloud Deer Island is opening in just a month?!" An old man’s gaze was filled with shock, unable to believe it.
"To think that Cloud Deer Island would actually open ahead of schedule, the matter of destiny luck has not been decided yet."
"I am afraid this time, all the various factions will have to use a competition between disciples as a pretext to select the strongest person to inherit the destiny luck."
Just as this thought surfaced in the old man’s mind, he saw a ray of radiant light descend from the sky within the sect, beneath that radiant light, there was the symbol of the Eight Trigrams.
Seeing the radiant light, the old man’s figure instantly vanished from its spot, arriving in front of that beam of light, looking up, a figure surprisingly revealed itself from within, following that, more and more figures emerged from it.
