Chapter 305: Return
After that huge battle, Albert’s name shook the world. He was a Nascent Soul Stage expert who managed to defeat someone whose realm was beyond him. Xiang Ba was already famous as an Empty Soul Stage Expert a few decades ago. So, no one could believe it.
Unfortunately, the Five Elements Mountain didn’t care about their thoughts. All they wanted to know was what their stance was in the current situation.
The Divine Kingdom had realized that their Princess had made a great connection with this so-called Albert. Although Albert was from a Demon Race, they believed that they had to tie him down with marriage.
They were having a big discussion about whether their princess should marry Albert or not. Meanwhile, the Buddha Sect wasn’t really that disturbed. Their first senior brother was already cooperating with Albert to the point where he could be considered an extension of Albert’s hand.
The people thought of their relationship as that of sworn brothers. As long as Albert could grow, there was no way he would treat the Buddha Sect poorly.
So, both influences had their own stances in this chaotic situation. However, it was clear that they would remain as Albert’s allies.
Of course, they couldn’t push forward the marriage because Albert had to seclude himself in order to recover from his injuries.
In the end, Gin made the suggestion that Albert and the princess could get engaged for the time being. Gin thought that when Albert came back, he could simply become far stronger to the point where he could stop the engagement with his own power. So, it didn’t really matter.
Though, the princess seemed to be strong-willed. She chose to remain in Five Elements Mountain as Albert’s fiancee in order to check the situation. She had to make sure their stance was correct, after all.
Meanwhile, the other influences lost to the other two because they didn’t take the initiative during the expedition to the ancient ruin.
As a result, they were going against the Five Elements Mountain, thinking the latter would target them after Albert came out.
Obviously, there was one more influence that was disturbed by this news. It was none other than the entire Demon Race. They never expected that there would be a Demon Race that managed to kill Xiang Ba.
Since they came from the same race, they were inviting Albert to return to the Demon Race to meet their ruler. Though, Albert could still escape by using his condition.
Gin had made sure that no one thought Albert had escaped with his knowledge about the cultivation world.
Unbeknownst to them, Albert was not on the Five Elements Mountain. He told everyone that he would be secluding himself, but he ended up using his Space Element to escape from his room.
Then, he continued to use the Space to escape from the Five Elements Mountain. Since the two people that came with Albert remained inside the sect, they still thought Albert was inside the sect since he wouldn’t abandon them, making this entire scheme more effective.
Finally, Albert reached the beach where he first arrived on this continent. With his current strength, he could easily return to the Magic Continent.
He used his Spiritual Energy to fly across the ocean.
After flying for a few days, Albert finally found the barrier that isolated the magic continent. Though, he wondered where the crack was, considering that it was the only entrance. In the end, he began to look around the area, trying to find the crack.
He wasn’t that good at finding a small hole in this huge barrier. It was like finding a needle in a haystack. Though, he had one advantage that he could use to find it.
Now that he was already more aware of Spiritual Energy due to him being a cultivator, he could faintly sense the Spiritual Energy within the barrier, including the little change in its concentration.
He was looking around the barrier while trying to find out where there was a fluctuation in Spiritual Energy. In addition, the crack wasn’t that far from the surface of the ocean, so as long as he remembered the level of the crack and looped around the barrier, he would eventually find it.
Of course, finding it was harder than expected. He had been going around for hours but failed to find it. However, he didn’t give up. He had to find the crack even if he had to make a round trip.
In the end, he managed to find the crack after almost a day of flying around.
Without hesitation, he flew straight toward the center of the barrier, using the curve of the barrier to choose the direction.
This time, it didn’t take too long for him to finally see the land.
Even Albert couldn’t contain his excitement since he had finally gone back. When he was in the sky, he found a small village up ahead.
So, he landed on the ground and rushed to this village.
The village was pretty small. There seemed to be fewer than seventy people living in this village.
This place was different from the land where he first set out, so he wondered where he ended up.
He found two middle-aged men who were plowing the field.weak,
"A demon?" The villagers were obviously scared of him, considering they were of a different race. Unlike the others, they didn’t know much about the development that happened between humans and demons. So, they were trying to run away.
Having no choice, Albert used his speed to instantly appear before them. He stated with a cold tone. "If you don’t want to die, then you better tell me what this place is and where it is located."
He thought explaining things would be a hassle. So, he threatened them to speed up the process.
"If you tell me, then I might consider letting you go."
The people were scared. Their feet became weak and both of them dropped to the ground.
Still, after hearing Albert’s threat, the guy couldn’t help but ask, "Are you really going to let us live if we tell you?"
"Yeah. So, out with it."
