That entire inner sealed world was currently empty and free of demons. However, in the other world, only mediocre demons still lived temporarily, but the wasps would soon annihilate them.
The third day in the sealed world passed, leaving now four days until they were forced to return. After some reflection, they decided not to change their plans. If they really discovered everything in the conquerors’ memories, they could make a bold move, leaving this secret world ahead of schedule just like they did last time.
But attacking such an important place of the Shadow God sect directly was the same as declaring total war against them, where only one side could come out alive. Currently, the Yinblood sect and the Shadow God sect were just in a feud, and things hadn’t reached that level yet.
Therefore, the best way to do this would be to cover their tracks. They were just young red disciples of the Yinblood sect, and several smaller sects could verify that they entered the sealed world. If everything happened within the time they were supposed to be in the sealed world, and if the Shadow God sect didn’t have concrete proof, they couldn’t attack the planet Gloom.
As for people from the smaller sects, even if they were bought off, they couldn’t lie to a hero. Mistie was the guardian of the seal on the planet; she could have a hero investigate their memories and prove their innocence.
Rushing to the central area too early and wasting these days was not an option. In this inner world, if the sect sent four conquerors in search of treasures, there were certainly valuable things to be found. They would spend the next two days with their group exploring.
The whale and Ruri moved to the edge of the place. In seconds, two spatial channels appeared, and the two groups arrived in the inner sealed world.
Everyone smelled strongly of blood, but their eyes were bright. They really plundered all the good stuff from those places and met expectations.
Rehvka handed the whale hundreds of spatial rings, all stuffed with countless Essentia Crystals. She found a colossal vein, and everyone made sure to leave nothing behind.
The demonic disciples only harvested the Essentia Crystals that sprouted on the surface of the vein. But the group removed even the root of the vein; no Essentia Crystal would grow there again. They still searched for others in the place but found none. The Shadow God sect just suffered an irreparable loss, making that world practically useless now.
On Rivine’s side, she flapped her wings joyfully, showing the herb that existed in that place. It wasn’t something with great energies, but it was so pure and natural that it surprised Alm and Bruno. It was a treasure that could support alchemists in cooking much higher-level pills.
The group eliminated the demons in the first hours and spent the time searching for this herb. They found the source of them in a single specific region around a lake of pure waters.
Venjio completely absorbed all the purest runes of the water laws in that lake. Afterward, the group made sure to evaporate all the remaining water. The lake was filled in, and all the herbs were harvested. The other external sealed world lost its treasure forever.
’How sinister and malicious, it pleases me,’ Alm murmured, satisfied.
Bruno snorted, but the group fulfilled exactly what they proposed. Then the whale briefly explained what they found in the other inner world and what existed in this one.
"We have two days, then things will get exciting and equally dangerous. We need to cultivate quickly and gather all the good stuff without leaving anything behind," the whale said to everyone without giving time for rest. "Each of you must go alone in one direction and use the entire first day to find anything good in this world."
Everyone nodded. Most, just by looking into the whale’s eyes, already felt he had frighteningly dangerous plans. A mix of excitement and pressure filled them, but they fully trusted his command. They all separated and shot off in different directions.
Ruri stayed behind, and the whale turned to her, speaking calmly. "Contact Almin. Have him get close to the edge of his sealed world and send him all the herbs that Rivine and her group brought. Tell him to be careful when using them, or the Shadow God sect might get suspicious. You can talk to him calmly and tell him everything that happened during this time."
She nodded happily and sat beside them, holding the tablet. Ruri considered Almin someone very, very close. She met him when she was very young and lived through a long war, with him being her only physical reminder of her master due to their similarities. She contacted him, handed over the spatial rings with the herbs, and then they talked about everything that happened during this time for several hours.
Meanwhile, Alm and Bruno meditated. Things never went exactly as planned, so they always needed to prepare for the worst. Fortunately, they had an invincible hidden weapon.
Inside the inventory floated silently a black rock the size of a mountain with cracks that emitted a pulsating purple glow. It was the peak power of the Behemoth, the anti-life element.
They carefully extracted a bit of that law and studied it even more carefully. It had a catastrophic power to devour life, and its name was well-deserved. Nothing alive could resist it, and they even doubted if heroes could survive it.
At their current level, it was impossible to create this. The main factor was that their bloodline wasn’t powerful enough yet. But they had the Behemoth’s marrow, which produced new drops of bloodline from time to time. In a few years, it would be possible. But they didn’t need to create it, just slightly manipulate this law that was already there.
The day passed quietly, and when everyone returned, the whale opened his eyes. Most didn’t find anything relevant, but Lansha and Nixis had excited looks.
Thanks to the Heritage-level ancestral halberd, earned with the help of their biggest sponsor, Lansha felt a connection in a random cave that didn’t attract attention. Inside, she found bones of a beast probably connected to the original bones of the weapon.
Alm and Bruno analyzed it. It was a gigantic and unknown beast, but it had a frightening connection to Yang. They stored it, satisfied.
As for Nixis, her unique Dao putting her in harmony with natural laws, she found an herb that looked like it was made of diamond. Alm and Bruno were astonished. It was a simple, common blood herb, but it had absorbed blood from ancient races that died on this battlefield in the past. It had survived untouched all these years. This was an impossible treasure to find elsewhere.
These were indeed two great gains. If they searched longer, they might find some other good things. But they didn’t need to worry about that; it would be almost impossible for the Shadow God sect disciples to peacefully search this place in the future. The wasps would certainly be brought here.
Almost the entire group gathered, and the whale created a closed cave. Then he started burning the Essentia Crystals that Rehvka’s group found, pouring all the dense and pure Qi into the environment for everyone to absorb. There were so many crystals that it was impossible to count. But these crystals didn’t have much internal Qi.
The amount needed to ascend in divine realms was naturally astronomical; thus, there was a limit to the accumulated amount in natural things. At divine levels, as far as Alm and Bruno knew, there was no miraculous ore for cultivation, which is why some types of pills were developed to fill this gap.
Despite this, the sheer number compensated a bit. For the others... because for the whale, now that they had so many people in the array, there was only despair in the amount of Qi they needed. So, 98% of everything stayed with them, and the others received only the leftovers.
Kaiyka and Runula were the only ones left out. Runula was busy absorbing the inheritance she recently gained.
Kaiyka, on the other hand, had been at the ninth level of the Divine Origin Realm for a while; she couldn’t advance yet. First, because a red disciple was prohibited from reaching the next realm. Second, because she rose through the levels very quickly and was still fully adapting after being reborn and recovering her memories. The previous Kaiyka had cultivated mental power and other things; it took time to redo everything.
In less than an hour, muffled sounds echoed synchronously throughout the cave. Hours passed, and after 23 hours, everything was consumed. With what everyone in the group absorbed and also received from the whale through the array, they went from the elementary level directly to the fifth level of the Spirit Fusion Realm.

Rehvka, who had been in the divine realms for a long time, finally reached the ninth level of the Spirit Fusion Realm and could break through whenever she wanted.
Alm and Bruno felt as if they were drowning desperately and managed to get a bit of air. Even keeping 98% of everything, they only managed to reach the same fifth level of the Spirit Fusion Realm as everyone else.
The whale snorted heavily and then stood up, seeing the bright look in everyone’s eyes. Their joy made a strange and unfamiliar feeling arise in Alm and Bruno’s chests. They soon didn’t care about the frustration, and the whale spoke calmly to everyone.
"Let’s go, we have only one day to stab a god in the back and escape without being seen."
