"Why? Do you have any comment?" Nadia put away her big sword as she asked calmly.

That voice didn’t say any further but it tried to hold back its raging growl as much as possible. It was like one was about to shout as loud as one could but held back.

Nadia raised her head and looked at the sky.

"The weather is bad and it’s making my mood bad too. So annoying..." She stomped hard and the whole red bubble started to crack open. The surface’s thin film started to crack from the sky above her and propagated outwards.

Boom!

The bubble suddenly exploded like a glass ball.

The voice cried out in pain and it didn’t dare to speak another word. In the darkness, only a vengeful gaze from a pair of red eyes stared at Nadia.

He understood that she could be talked through if she was behaving normally. However, when she’d gone crazy, he would be seeking death if he were to speak further on.

Nadia never cared if he was the same kind as her. Everyone knew that she had killed a lot of Hunters and Freelancers, but only the Void Creatures knew that the number of Void Creatures she had killed was far more than the former.

"Considered myself unlucky! I’ll treat this as a natural disaster!" This Void Lord was apoplectic but he knew that he could only accept it. There was no living being which was able to kill Nadia as she had eighty-one lives that would make anyone feel hopeless. If she were to be ambushed once, she would instantly revive and become twice as strong. Perhaps the mages in the ancient era who stood at the peak, the Demon King Level Mages or Great Abyss Level Void Creatures were able to fight against her. However, those beings in the legend had passed away thousands of years ago. Only a few true spirits were left in the Mother Stream but those were nothing to be compared with.

Nadia had always behaved based on her mood which changed on the go and no one could understand her. Hence no one had really understood her behavior but everyone knew one thing about her.

That was to not anger her when she was feeling down.

This Void Lord had just come back from another dream zone. He himself possessed terrifying powers, which far surpassed the base Nadia. If she were to use half of her strength at her eighty-first life, perhaps she could win against him but they had never fought against each other before.

However, Nadia was the kind of person who would fight with you to the death if she was in a bad mood. She was purely crazy for battles. Imagine a person who was about your level was willing to fight against you to death on a whim. Furthermore, Nadia was much stronger than this guy.

No one was willing to face such a situation. The Void Creatures had long lifespans hence no one would fight each other to death on a whim.

He didn’t voice out anymore as he quietly left the place.

Nadia was floating alone in the void, surrounded by the pieces of the red gas bubble. She then casually vibrated her long sword, forming a layer of white light, which pushed away all the debris. She then, with a bored look on her face, floated away into the darkness without any destination.

A faint blood signal could be detected within the void. It was her only path that she was firmed on. It was the blood of her brother, AI the Nine-Headed Dragon’s blood. As long as she followed this trace, she would eventually arrive at the dream that she’d set foot in before. Afterwards, she would force herself into reality based on the coin she had given earlier.

After Nadia disappeared, two white comets flew into the dream zone. It was two mysterious people in white cloaks.

Two of them looked around them suspiciously and didn’t notice any trace of Void Creatures.

"It’s the aura left behind by the Nine-Headed Dragon Queen. This is troublesome. We should take a detour."

"This is what we can only do. What an unlucky day. If everything goes to plan, we would have arrived already."

"Being impatient won’t solve the problem."

After conversing softly, both of them took a detour and went on their way in a different direction.

As freelancers, they had memorized the auras of any strong character. Only the strong freelancers were able to face against such a powerful character. The rest would avoid her at all cost.

’Are you really trying to abandon the Slaughtering Demon Technique?’

Black Sethe asked hopelessly.

Garen was sitting on his knees in one of the quiet rooms in the villa. His body was covered in a transparent aura as he closed his eyes and immersed himself to complete concentration.

"I’m not abandoning it, but I won’t learn it further." He whispered.

’Isn’t that the same as abandoning it?’ Black Sethe felt hopeless.

In front of Garen was a black copper mysterious mask.

This mask was a relic that had been able to provide him with the most potential points. He found it and placed it by his side.

It had been at least ten days since he fought with Nadia and Garen had gathered the Void cores that he had obtained these past few days. This item was strangely solid as if it had some sort of unique effect. It surprisingly had amazing effects in treating the pollution and damage caused by the void creatures.

’The Void core. It was able to strengthen the capability of the hunters or you can convert them into life force and absorb them.’ Black Sethe explained softly. ’The hunters are generally powerful in the Secret Technique realm. Although there is no minimum threshold, hunters without power or capability will die in the hands of the void creatures. The hunter’s characteristics will practically change the moment they’ve sworn to the Mother Stream.’

"I can already feel it." Garen nodded as he reconstructed his Northern Trident Frost-Fire True Water Technique in an attempt to improvise the portion that this world did not allow. There was a slight difference between this world’s physics and the previous one’s, causing the potency of this evil technique to be greatly reduced. He wasn’t able to create powerful icy blue halberds, but it was still very useful in other parts.

He was trying to take out this most primitive portion.

The Void core seemed to have some sort of mysterious effect on him as it could give him an endless supply of spiritual power to his consciousness. This allowed him to think at a rapid speed. At the same time, these cores were slowly shrinking.

As Garen started to comprehend more and more, he could feel that his consciousness was flowing towards the void creatures. The Void cores seemed to have given out some sort of a radiation as his consciousness was getting more similar to those of the void creatures. This change wasn’t something bad as this allowed his consciousness to achieve a calmer and faster state. To someone who practiced Secret Technique, this was an ideal state for him to understand and deduce the Secret Techniques.

Garen started to understand why some Martial Adepts would side with the Void Creatures. The main difference between the hunters and traitors seemed to be their Vow. The Hunters seemed to have vowed towards the Mother Stream to kill the void creatures for eternity.

His thinking became more and more active as his thinking in terms of the Secret Technique was very instinctive.

The core of the Northern Trident Frost-Fire True Water Technique was swiftly kicked aside and to his surprise, he found out that the core of it was the seeds of both of the Living Secret Techniques he had obtained in the ancient ruins.

This portion of the information that could be used anywhere in every world, was surprisingly about the seeds of the Living Secret Technique he obtained previously.

Garen wasn’t sure how long he had meditated, but when he had cut out the entire portion of the evil technique, he realized how strong the creator of the Living Secret Technique was.

"So this is the true purpose of the seed..." Garen finally understood why the Living Secret Technique resembled a seed. It was because it could grow according to the different laws of different worlds.

It was just like a seed, which would grow differently under different soils.

Garen finally understood this with the help of the Void core. Black Sethe was still complaining in his ear. He seemed to be trying to persuade him to turn back and continue learning the Slaughtering Demon Technique.

However, he had already found out the way to turn the Slaughtering Demon Technique’s stored life force into nutrients for his new Living Secret Technique.

Garen sat on his knees in the middle of the room as he recalled the core knowledge of the Living Secret Technique.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and stared at the air in front of him.

In his vision, he could only see two bright dots which no one knew when they’d appeared. They were floating up and down in front of him. One was dark red while the other was deep blue.

The icy blue bird spread its wings. The huge bird had a beautiful, long tail feather as if it was the Phoenix from the legends. It had a tremendous amount of cold emitting from it and its beak was the seed.

On the other hand, the dark red was in a devil’s shape. It had a long pointy tail and was covered in fire. It was behaving like a gentleman, giving off an elegant and seductive vibe. In front of the devil was a dark red cross sword, which was the original shape of the Metal Living Secret Technique’s seed.

"Perhaps these two represent the knowledge of the Secret Techniques that can be used in any world." Garen realized.

He had once chosen the wrong path and chose to learn the Slaughtering Demon Technique which had wasted his time and energy. Now, it was time for him to reaffirm his direction. He had learned a few things from learning the Slaughtering Demon Technique and had a deeper understanding of some theories. Furthermore, the Slaughtering Demon Techniques possessed the effects of storing life force, which could be used as a backup storage to recover his injuries, similar to the Nine-Headed Dragon’s Nine-life Talent which could increase his survivability.

He now possessed his own invention secret skills, the Seven Star Life’s Secret Point, through which he could attain a terrifying height without any Secret Techniques. Once he learned a new Secret Technique, his prowess would achieve a new height and he would attain more strength to slowly surpass the strength he’d possessed in the Totem World.
