Travel

"As expected, this world you create is marvelous. I'll try to create something of my own in the future," one of four youths sparring said.

"I'll look forward to it!" a second youth said as he created three huge fireballs. Each one was sent towards a youth, but it didn't hit them as they could dodge.

The four youths were Ed, Eric, Griffin, and Hayato. The three of them trained for two months to get used to their new cultivation state. Two months had passed since the Bloody war. These four were training inside a dimension created by Ed. The dimension was the biggest he ever created and was used to train. On top of him and the other three, his companions, Emilia, Ellie, and Alicia were training in different spots as well. Each and every one of them had a cultivation of Immortal Establishment level one or higher.

Their attacks cracked the earth and shook the skies. The air vibrated every time their QI left their bodies. They were moving at incredible speeds while fighting, creating sonic booms behind them. If a normal human were to stand in this dimension, his flesh would be torn off and his bones would be ground into dust from the severity of the surroundings.

"Eat this you bastards!" Eric shouted as he activated his strongest skill. He combined Earth, Fire, Lightning, and Wind magic. The result was a pulsating volcanic thunder tornado that was the size of a small village.

Griffin swung his swords very quickly and created dozens of small tornadoes with QI waves flying inside of them. Hayato used Light and Darkness magic to create a tornado as well. Instead of canceling each other, the two elements fused together to create a tornado that consumed everything in its way.

Ed used his three swords to create a tornado of flying slashes. The four tornadoes clashed with each other, creating an explosion. The explosion traveled through the ground, causing the rocks to be blown away. No one would think of approaching such a place, but the four of them crossed swords in the heart of the explosions.

The state of Immortal Establishment, not only increased one's QI reserves but also gave them incomparable vitality. They could live for hundreds of years, and their bodies could sustain incredible damage, but still perform like normal.

After hours of sparring, the combatants finally stopped and met with the others. Ed de-activated his dimension and everyone went to take a shower and eat.

"Henlo there miss Elder!" Ed teased Becky as they met in a corridor. Becky was not wearing her maid clothes, but instead a black dress with a red jacket. She looked like a high class noble.

"Please don't call me that Master Ed. I'm still not used to it." Becky blushed and lowered her head.

"You're still an Elder, so you should start acting like one. Be it your cultivation or your intellect, you won't lose to anyone. Don't embarrass those that left us…" Ed told her with a stern yet caring voice. She looked at him and saw a smile that filled her with confidence.

Due to losing two Elders during the Bloody war, Ed, Eric, and Arthur decided on two candidates. The two were Sebas and Griffin. But, Sebas decided to stay as a normal butler even though he was a Heavenly Establishment cultivator. To make up for it, Ed nominated Becky. Becky tried to decline but he didn't allow her. His persistence overwhelmed her until she broke down and accepted.

Ed spent the two months after the war training and crafting materials. He made pills that helped a person cultivate faster and gave them to Eric and Griffin as they were the closest to the disciples. Many disciples died during the war, so Glory sect started recruiting members. The Elders oversaw the procedures, which were still on-going since they barely started announcing the recruitment.

"So, you're really leaving tomorrow Ed?" On the dinner table, Elizabeth asked.

"Yes. I have a lot to take care of."

"What is that you're going to do again?" Eric asked as he didn't know. He never bothered to ask Ed before as he trusted his moves, but his curiosity won today.

"Stuff…" Ed looked at Eric with a sly smile as he teased him.

"Make sure you won't disappear for another year this time," Eric teased him back.

"Oh yeah, I'm taking Bella and Emilia with me." As Ed spoke, Elizabeth glared at him. He acted like he was busy eating, and didn't dare to look her in the eye.

"And why are you taking my little girl with you…?" Elizabeth asked with a serious threatening tone.

"Eh Ah! It's because she's gotten stronger. She'll need to control her new powers or she'll end up hurting herself." Ed explained his reasoning as he was afraid Elizabeth might try to choke him out.

Elizabeth sighed and said, "I'll trust you…But make sure you keep her safe."

"Don't worry she'll love it. Won't you, Bella?" Ed asked Bella who remained quiet for the whole duration of the dinner. She nodded in what seemed like hundreds of times a second. Bella was more than excited as she was about to travel the world.

"Plus, Emilia is going, so she won't let anything happen to her," Ed further enhanced his argument. Ed was trying to fulfill his promise with Emilia of having her involved in all his future plans.

The next day came quickly and the three prepared to leave Avalon. Eric approached Ed and asked him, "So why are you really leaving?"

"The man I fought during the war, the Sword sect master left me his sect before he died. Unlike the usual scum, he was a true warrior with principles. I don't know how come he joined the Blood sect, but I will fulfill his dying wish of taking care of his sect." Eric nodded his head as Ed explained. He didn't doubt for a second the integrity of Alexander as Ed had praised him so much.

"I also need to pick up a friend on my way to the other continents. I've made him wait for a long time already…"

"And the last thing I want to do is to meet our grandfather!"
