After considering the situation, he said to himself, "How did they manage it, though? What kind of power is it? Is every divine transformation cultivator capable of such a thing, or only the best of them are capable of it?"
"And this is only the power of a divine transformation cultivator. What kind of power will they have after they are done transforming into the divine? Will I ever have the chance to experience such a profound power?"
He asked himself many questions beyond this. He is an innately curious person, so his questions were endless. The fact that he had so many questions on his mind also caused him to be frustrated because he didn't have a good way to find answers to them.
He can find the answers to his questions by asking the spirit of the tower. He can also ask the spirit of the tower to sell a cultivation technique to him or even ask it to create a new one for him.
So the information he wants is readily available. But the information is not cheap.
There is rarely anything that he can ask the spirit of the tower that won't require money. So if he wants to get answers, he must have primordial stones.
Since he didn't have so many primordial stones, he could only give up on the matter.
He took one last look at the measly 70 primordial stones in his account and said to himself, "That rank 7 artifact better be worth it."
He had 30 primordial stones before he got the reward of 100 primordial stones for the leadership assessment. The 30 primordial stones were what was left after he sold the armor suits and the Fire Cauldron artifacts of the Red and Blue Fire sect and bought the rank 7 artifact.
If he hadn't bought that rank 7 artifact, he would have had far more primordial stones in hand. Unfortunately, he bit off more than he could chew when he thought that he could control a rank 7 artifact just because the space gate only required energy and a spatial coordinate for him to operate it.
It wasn't until he tried to control the rank 7 artifact and nearly died that he realized that not all rank 7 artifacts are the same and have different requirements for their usage. But by then, it was already too late.
He can still return the rank 7 artifact. But it would be devalued, and he would lose money. So, in order to lose money, he can only grit his teeth and continue to try to refine the rank 7 artifact.
But in times like this, he regrets buying that particular rank 7 artifact a little. Because of it, he can only think of his questions and let them torture him without being able to find a satisfactory answer.
After marveling at the power of the divine transformation cultivator, he sighed and decided to leave. He can't do anything about invading just yet because it will take more time for the spirit of the tower to investigate the two worlds and determine if they are safe to invade.
The Ethera tree takes this investigation seriously, so it can't be rushed. He can only patiently wait for the go-ahead. And if the spirit of the tower says that the two worlds can't be invaded because it is too risky for the world of Ethera as a whole, then he can only give up on them.
He shook his head and said, "I hope that doesn't happen."
Then he said, "Anyway, I should go and bring those other two to register as part of the Blood Skull sect now that we have been confirmed as leaders in the League of World Eaters."
With that said, he returned home. The first thing he did was to tell Thunder Drake and Lady Evergreen the result of his trip. Then he brought the two of them to the branch of the League of World Eaters for registration.
Since the Blood Skull sect is a leader in the League of World Eaters, they are allowed to have a joint account. This means that they can register a group of people without those people needing to go through the dangerous trial that he went through before they can be considered members of the League of World Eaters.
A leader will be recognized for this joint account. As the only one that has been tested and verified by the League of World Eaters, he is the only one recognized by the league, so only he can be the leader of the joint account.
Being the leader of the joint account is a very important position, as he will get to have the final say on any of their activities. So this matter usually causes conflict among a group. But since he had already been recognized as the leader of the sect back at home, the two of them didn't challenge him on the matter.
Once the two of them were done with their registration, they returned home to plan. Then they called a council meeting to inform the golden core elders of what they had planned. Arthur was very busy when this happened.
When Arthur returned home, he was very happy and excited. He was happy to return to familiar grounds where he was no longer in danger of being destroyed by a ball of fire thrown by an angry sun at him.
As for why he is excited, this is because he has a lot of things to do that he has been looking forward to doing for a long time. The first and the most urgent thing on his agenda is to repair his weapons. He needs to fix them, so he won't have to fight an enemy with his bare hands, like he did with the Sun King.
There is also the matter of the AI logic unit that he is learning to make, and the matter of spreading inheritance all over the Five Nations in the Five Veins region.
