The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 568 - Gathering. Departure.

Athan bought the scroll of Condensation of Small order method and returned to Void Palace to start its initial training.

Zorgia also arrived at the Palace with two other elders as they swore the same oath to obey Athan forever.

The next day, Head Zangrel arrived with excitement in his eyes but stayed calm.

Athan then also gave used Touch of Transcendent and planted Seed of Transcedency in him before he hurried off to suppress his breakthrough.

Both Head Zangrel and Dean Lenix were stuck at the peak of Evagon-realm for a long time, and this boost given by Athan was all they needed.

Several days after that, Lady Fu also arrived at the Palace, and it was finally time to leave for the training.

In the large hall of Void Palace, everyone affiliated with Athan had gathered.

Dean Lenix, Head Zangrel, Zorgia. These three were at the peak of Evagon-realm.

After that was Lady Fu, who had broken through to the high stage of Evagon-realm.

The two elders who arrived with Zorgia from the Ursh'in clan were at Evagon-realm Median stage.

Drizzly had broken through to Zen order grandmaster as she was rapidly advancing because of Athan's touch of Transcendence and also because she had unlocked inherit chaotic powers from the awakening of her bloodline. Those chaotic powers are easier for her to comprehend already, and on top of Athan's enhancement on her soul, her speed increased even more.

Tiana, Avelia, Sen, Shiromi, Linci, Tealery, Arcued, Theo, Four Nimpere brothers had enjoyed the last few days since Athan prevented them from training.

Everyone had gathered in the hall as Athan talked with Dean Lenix and Head Zangrel on a separate table while others were eating and drinking at another spot in the hall.

"Athan, you must remain careful in that special-grade CPD because it's more special than other special-grade CPDs," Dean Lenix said with a serious expression.

Hearing him, Head Zangrel thought of something and raised his eyebrows,? "So did you give him the address of THAT special-grade CPD? Seriously?"

"What's so special about it?" Athan asked with curiosity as he took a sip from the wine glass in his hands.

Dean Lenix put the cup down from his hand and said, "As you must, all special-grade CPDs are actually connected to upper-Chaosverse. They are essentially a product of upper-Caosverse that doesn't appear in lower-Chaosverse, but they do make appearances in this Midgard continent."

Athan nodded as he knew that much.

"However, the special-grade CPD you are going to has more than just a connection to the upper-Chaosverse; it actually has a path leading to upper-Chaosverse in it.

"Occasionally, some gangs and wild chaos practitioners from the upper-Chaosverse might stumble in that CPD through chaotic portals. That CPD will also have chaos beasts who had one foot into king-grade or early-stage King-grade beasts, so stay cautious."

After saying that, Dean Lenix sound transmitted to Athan, "You can use your Touch of Transcendent and help that Zorgia breakthrough to King-realm for more safety after going inside that CPD. The only downside would be that when you return here, he will have to stay in that CPD because King-realm powerhouses can not stay in lower-Chaosverse or Midgard continent."

Athan noted that as he nodded and made some plans.

At this time, Head Zangrel spoke with a weak smile while looking at Tiana, Avelia, and others who were enjoying, "Athan, you taking them to that special-grade CPD is really...," He shook his head as he drank a cup, "They will really experience close encounters death many times as long as you manage to save them at the last moment. However, that is if you manage to save them."

With a serious expression, Head Zangrel continued, "Be extra careful there, Athan."

Athan grinned as he gulped another glass of wine, "It's only fun when death is close by, hahaha."

Athan then remembered something and said, "Head Zangrel, since we have a close connection now, I'll have to ask you to arrange special training for Mike and Qerin as well."

"Hahaha, sure! sure! I can make them my personal students if you want me to," Head Zangrel laughed and said as he drummed on his bald head.

Athan faintly smiled and said, "No need for that. I just want you to arrange a hard training schedule and dangerous adventures for Mike and Qerin as well. Naturally, you must arrange people to protect them in shadows, but they should experience danger while training."

After saying that, Athan took out two small glass bottles with a single drop of mysterious liquid that had white, gold, and grey patterns.

"After you return, tell Mike and Qerin to infuse a small amount of their soul energy in that drop of liquid. I have specially created them by using my Runic Artist's ability and my own powers," Athan said as he handed the bottles to Head Zangrel.

Athan had created those two drops using his soul energy and void pulse. Once they infuse their soul energy in the drop, the drop will disappear and appear beside their soul. After that, Mike and Qerin will experience the same effect of Touch of Transcendent, and a Seed of Transdecency will also form near their soul.

Head Zangrel took the bottles and put them away after glancing at them briefly before asking Athan, "What's their effect?"

"Touch of Transcendent and Seed of Transcendency," Athan said with a faint smile.

...

After everyone ate and drank for the whole day, Dean Lenix and Head Zangrel left.

Since Athan told them that they would require multiple sets, Tiana, Avelia, and others had bought sets of armors and weapons for everyone with the money that Athan gave them. They also bought their necessities like food ingredients, cooked food, drinks, etc.

Everyone has boarded Lady Fu's new, bigger flying that Athan told her to buy.

Athan led Zorgia and two other elders to their room in the ship and said, "Perform better and move according to the plan after entering the CPD. If you do it perfectly, then I will help you breakthrough to King-realm."

Athan glanced at the other two elders and said plainly, "You two as well."

Zorgia and the other two elders were excited as they bowed, "We will not disappoint you!"
