***Special Note: Thanks for <<<< Ryujen75 >>>> for his exceptional support to the novel by gifting Golden Tickets to it. I'm really excited to write more chapters now. This chapter is dedicated for him***

The monster didn't agree at first until Gege explained further and even made her touch a wisp of this energy from the tower through one portal.

And then the monster had to accept to return into the garden world and not run towards the Golam lake.

Then Gege gave further instructions to the scattered forces of Arthur and Doaf's. As she finished all this, she only had to wait until Amera was attacked by the enraged lycans before she dragged her out of there using the portal.

No one suspected anything as they were already consumed by their rage. As Amera entered the garden world, Gege had to only manipulate the strings with outstanding perfection until the lycans were killed or surrendered.

As this all happened by luck, Arthur didn't yet know anything about it. In fact the task he thought to be a piece of cake turned out to be quite challenging. It wasn't that easy to make the golden pearl energy take the last leap towards ascension.

He kept rotating the energy around his body, in his meridians and blood veins yet in the end he felt there was something missing.

He knew his golden pearl was ready for the first major breakthrough, yet every time he tried to push it to take that leap he failed.

And the more he failed the more frustrated he became.

Things seemed to be at dead end here. He tried to feel the energy and closely revise their rotation path, yet he found nothing he could have missed.

"Then what is it?"

He was very frustrated right now. He was this close to make the golden pearl take the leap, yet he felt as if it was miles away.

"What did I miss?" he kept asking him this question while being isolated inside the golden pearl. His consciousness was already there for a long time.

He couldn't hear anything from the outside, or even the sounds of the three beings inside his mind.

He tried to calm down himself and think in a different way. At first he revised how he used to break through his cultivation base and the dragonair power. The more he thought about that the more puzzled he became.

"There are a lot of differences there," he couldn't find anything to link between the two. Yet when he muttered these words he suddenly found something.

"But... This breakthrough used the usual way of the cultivation world," he slowly muttered while feeling what he needed was just at the next corner.

He just needed to keep walking down this pass without any hesitation. "So this is supposed to end up with a breakthrough, but it isn't..." he paused, "no, this is totally wrong."

He suddenly recalled the words of the golden dragon before he started the ascension. "The golden pearl is formed from the two energies, so I have to take pieces of both to complete the breakthrough," he muttered in realization before adding:

"The cultivation breakthrough gave me that circulation pattern... then about the dragonair path should I expect to enter another world?" he hesitated at this moment.

He knew that leveling up his dragonair power was a tricky thing. He even tried to avoid doing it for such a long time because of this.

He couldn't control where he would go, or whom he would fight, and even the time he would spend there. Last time it took him weeks to get out from there.

What he experienced as mere minutes were counted as weeks in the real world. That made him worried from his next upgrades.

"No, this can't be the case," he didn't believe that upgrading the golden pearl would need him to go to another dimension. "I think I'm missing something... What is it?"

He finally felt more sure about this when he said it. This was the thing missing from the start. He had to find it now or else he wouldn't be able to ascend.

As he couldn't find any hint in what he had, he tried to rethink and recall the feeling he had when he broke through his dragonair power.

Yet as he didn't do this often, not like the cultivation breakthrough he was already used to from his past life, it took him quite a long time before he could find what he wanted.

"That's it... I can't believe it's that simple!"

When he thought about the process many times in his mind, he finally noticed what he missed.

To break through he had to circulate the energy inside his vessels then he would trap it.

Usually when he did that, he would end up transforming from a human into a dragon. However whenever he broke through, he would trap this energy and not allow it to transform him.

And then he started to check his circulating golden energy. "As I expected... they are entering and baptizing my body," he slowly said before he realized what to do.

However he didn't immediately do it. He knew after he would do so, the benefits he was getting now for his body and soul would be interrupted and might be lost.

So he didn't hurry to do anything at all. In fact he decided not to take this last leap until he was absolutely sure that the energy wouldn't give him any more benefits.

And so instead of his earlier frustration, he became truly grateful for what he missed.

Or else he would have missed a great chance, one that might only come once in his lifetime.

What worried him though was the outside battle. "I hope they can endure for longer," he prayed.

He knew if one enemy managed to pass through all the defenses around him and interrupted this, he wouldn't only lose this chance but even his life along as well.

Yet whatever bad thoughts he had, he couldn't even come closer to what really happened outside. So he kept himself waiting, while letting his body and soul be showered by this special form of energy and get stronger.

The more his body absorbed more of such energy, the sturdier it became. Arthur felt that his muscles were being replaced with a special form of ore.

Something he never imagined to see except after crossing the immortal threshold at the cultivation world. Even doing so wouldn't bring him such benefits, at least on level of quantity and quality.

As for his soul, he tried again to see what was going on inside his soul sea but he was blocked. "Damn! I just want to take a peek," he was frustrated by this invisible shield, yet he calmed down himself later on.

He knew that shield wouldn't be there without a proper reason.

As he waited, things outside started to heat up again.

It all started with the response letter Aemie sent to Amera. And again it was a short one, filled with bad news.

"Those traitors ran away a couple of hours ago. My best guess is they are on the way to you. Be careful, I'm sending my army to you now."

Amera couldn't help but crush the bird's wing by her hands and not the usual fire.

"What's wrong?" Doaf asked as this seemed out of ordinary, especially after such great victory.

Amera was about to speak up but another bird's wing came to stop her.

"Ah, don't forget to kill all the traitors you got."

And that made Amera sigh and feel conflicted. After all any prisoners were now confined inside the garden world. She didn't have any jurisdiction over that, and she couldn't even touch a single hair off them without Arthur's permission.

And Arthur was still immersed in what he was doing, leaving her with nothing but tied hands.

"Is it this bad?" Doaf couldn't help but ask.

"Don't even mention it," Amera could only take a deep breath before adding, "the war isn't over. We have new guests coming hot at us as we speak."

And her words made Doaf raise his eyebrows before laughing.
