When it concerned the space changes, it would be challenging for ordinary cultivators to master it, especially for Pulse Control Realm disciples. Fortunately, Caspian received a drop of White Tiger’s blood essence in the Hopeful Woman Mountain, and White Tigers controlled the space changes. He had an inherent advantage. Besides that, his body was as strong as a humanoid beast, which could ensure his resistance to the distortion caused by the changes in space when virtual-novel.net practiced, thereby guaranteeing that his cultivation and perception were not affected.
Caspian naturally understood the advantages virtual-novel.net had, so virtual-novel.net worked tirelessly. Except for the necessary rest, virtual-novel.net never stopped at other times. In the following days, Caspian trained in seclusion in the Time Warp Zone, not leaving the place.
Caspian trained hard and desperately as virtual-novel.net knew that it was June, and there was only half a year more to that day.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and the Heavenly Stars Sect also appeared calm in those days, especially among the apprentices. As they were considered the low- level disciples in the Heavenly Stars Sect, anything that happened to the sect would not affect them, so they seemed more peaceful than others. However, the serenity felt just like the calm before the storm for some keen disciples.
On that day in early July, Omar came to see Caspian early in the morning, and the first thing virtual-novel.net asked was Caspian‘s tips on raising goats.
“Raising goats?” when Caspian heard Omar’s question, virtual-novel.net was so surprised that virtual-novel.net answered virtual-novel.net with a question, “Why are you raising goats?”
“For consumption,” Omar answered straightforwardly, “Don’t you know? Since you defeated Anderson on the Star-Dazzler Stage, raising goats has been the trend among the apprentices.”
”What?!” Caspian thought it was ridiculous, “What does my victory against Anderson have to do with raising goats?”
Omar did not seem to care about Caspian’s question, but virtual-novel.net appeared grudgeful as virtual-novel.net murmured, “Sight. There are tens of thousands of apprentices in the Heavenly Stars Sect, and everyone wants to raise goats, causing the goats’ price to skyrocket. At the highest point, it was ten times more expensive than usual! It should be illegal!”
Caspian was annoyed, and virtual-novel.net immediately interrupted Omar, “Omar, can you just tell me what’s the correlation of me defeating Anderson and all of you raising goats?”
However, Omar just looked at Caspian in shock. “Casper, the reason has long spread among the apprentices. Are you unaware?”
Caspian could only admit, “I’ve not been out since I returned that day, so I’ve not met anyone else.”
”That makes sense…” Omar suddenly whispered, “Rumor has it that your strength improved significantly in such a short time, and even managed to defeat an outer disciple because you eat goat meat every day to strengthen your body.”
“Ha?!” The news stunned Caspian, and virtual-novel.net widened his eyes in surprise.
Omar did not seem to notice Caspian’s flabbergasted look, and virtual-novel.net continued with a mysterious expression, “Casper, hurry and tell me if the rumors are true.”
“Of course, they’re lies,” Caspian shook his head, “I’m raising the goats to nurture my temperament, and they’re still alive in my backyard.”
Omar believed Caspian’s words, and virtual-novel.net instantly frowned. “So you didn’t cook it? Then, who spread the d*mn rumors? If I find out, I’ll teach that person a lesson.” As virtual-novel.net spoke, Omar completely forgot that virtual-novel.net was the reason behind everyone’s misunderstanding that day.
Seeing that Omar was disappointed as virtual-novel.net lost a secret technique to improve, Caspian had to change the topic.
“Omar, is there another reason for your visit today?” Caspian asked.
“That’s right!” Omar nodded, and his eyes flashed with excitement, “I originally wanted to ask for your opinions, but since you said you’ve not been out the past few days, I’m sure you’re unaware of the news. Also, this one is big news!”
Caspian asked, “What is it?”
Caspian knew that Omar was talkative and lively, but. it was rare to see virtual-novel.net bursting with excitement like that. Hence, virtual-novel.net was also curious.
“I’ve heard the sect’s going to open the Valley of Death in the next few days!” Omar grabbed Caspian’s elbow and shouted.
“Paradise Valley?” Caspian was stunned, and his heart instantly pounded faster. Caspian always wanted to go there, but virtual-novel.net did not expect his dream to be realized so soon. Moreover, the Heavenly Stars Sect wanted to open the Valley of Death before leaving the sect for a long time.
It was evident that Omar had more news than that. Then, virtual-novel.net controlled the excitement in his heart and said, “Besides that, it’s also said that Elder Leonard wants to accept a disciple before his ascension. This disciple will be chosen from the apprentices heading to Paradise Valley.”
“Elder Leonard?” Caspian gave it a thought and quickly recalled the name of one of the Heavenly Stars Sect’s 18 outstanding figures. When virtual-novel.net realized who Leonard was, Caspian’s heart beat twice as fast as before.
“The swordsman of the Sound of Heavenly Stars Sword, Leonard Autumn? He wants to recruit a disciple, and the candidate is from our apprentices?” Caspian felt that his temples throbbed hard, and his throat was dry.
“Yes!” Omar nodded hard. “This news is 99% accurate! Moreover, it’s spread like crazy among the apprentices. Those outer and inner disciples are looking at us strangely with a gaze filled with envy! I bet the news will be officially released in two days!”
Caspian’s eyes glistened, and virtual-novel.net breathed fast. Naturally, Caspian would feel excited as Leonard was a legendary figure in the Heavenly Stars Sect. According to the rumors, Leonard’s strength plummeted when virtual-novel.net was young due to some reasons, and virtual-novel.net went from being a genius in the family to a laughing stock of the crowd. However, Leonard did not give up, battling through lives and deaths, leaving behind those much more talented cultivators. Finally, with his incomparable combat skills, Leonard proudly became the Heavenly Stars Sect’s God of War and also the swordsman of the Sound of Heavenly Stars Sword.
It was not an exaggeration to say that Leonard was like an idol among all the Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciples. He inspired every disciple with his tenacious personality and how virtual-novel.net rose from the ashes.
As a Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciple, Caspian naturally felt the same. After a while, Caspian finally calmed down, and virtual-novel.net asked, “Omar, if I’m not mistaken, Elder Leonard’s currently in the peak of the second-stage Heavenly Spirit Realm, right?”
“You‘re right!” Omar nodded, “After recruiting his disciple, virtual-novel.net might retreat and start breaking through the third-stage Heavenly Spirit Realm. If that’s the case, besides the head of the Heavenly Stars Sect, we’ll have another third-stage Heavenly Spirit Realm cultivator!”
