Elijah and the others watched as the old man swung the sword forcefully, causing a fissure to appear in the void before them. Inside the fissure was a terrifying spatial turbulence, with countless winds blowing out, but they were easily dispelled by the old man.


    The spatial fissure was open for a very brief time. As the fierce winds vanished, the fissure rapidly closed, as if it had never existed.


    "Shattering the void!" Elijah murmured.


    "The barriers in your world are not too difficult; ate-stage Golden Core cultivator can easily break through. However, this does not mean you can travel between realms. You first need to have the spatial coordinates of the other realm and be able to safely traverse the spatial turbulence!"


    "Spatial coordinates of the other realm…?"


    Elijah and Charlotte exchanged a look, their eyes lighting up as they evidently came to a realization.


    "In that case, senior, we have decided. Charlotte will be your disciple and follow you!" Elijah dered.


    "Oh?"


    The old man smiled as he looked at the two of them, then said, "I didn''t expect you to make such a decision. In that case, I shall ept this girl as my disciple!"


    "Charlotte, thank your Master!"


    Charlotte, having already guessed Elijah''s intention, did not hesitate. She directly knelt before the old man and kowtowed several times.


    "Good, very good! Not only have I dealt with my enemies and gained a lot from this trip, but I''ve also acquired a good disciple. It''s been worth the journey!"


    The old manughed heartily, then addressed the two of them, "Since you''ve be a disciple, I should give you a gift. This Green Shadow Cold Light Sword is for you!"


    As he spoke, the old man suddenly produced a green long sword from his hand. It was the same sword that Elijah and the others had seized from Country A. At this moment, it was being returned to its rightful owner.


    "This old man is really stingy, giving us back our own stuff as a gift!" Elijah couldn''t help but mutter to himself.


    The old man seemed to know what Elijah was thinking. With a half-smile, he looked at him and then said, "You two lovers, this parting might be permanent. Since you''ve made such a decision, I''ll give you a parting gift too!"


    Elijah was suddenly startled as the old man''s finger pointed at his forehead, and he found himself unable to resist. However, when the old man''s finger withdrew, Elijah didn''t notice any immediate changes in himself.


    "The realm descent will soon be over, so don''t stay here too long to avoid being caught in the spatial turbulence! This bottle of pills is the one I promised you earlier!"


    The old man tossed a bottle of pills to Elijah and continued, "I have been dyed for a long time. I must leave soon. Do you have anyst words?"


    Elijah, Abigail, Sophia, Elena, and Kylie looked at Charlotte with reluctant eyes. Abigail and Sophia even had tears in their eyes.


    Elijah stepped forward and hugged Charlotte, whispering in her ear, "Once you get to that realm, cultivate diligently and wait for me!"


    "Okay!"


    Charlotte replied solemnly.


    Then they parted ways.


    "Take care of yourselves too!"


    Charlotte waved goodbye to Abigail and the others.


    "Sister Charlotte, you… you must take care once you get there!" Sophia said tearfully.


    "I will!"


    "Life is unpredictable with its gatherings and separations. Let''s part ways here!"


    As the old man''s words fell, he and Charlotte transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the horizon of the forest.


    Elijah and the others stared nkly at the spot where they disappeared.


    They didn''t know how much time had passed. It wasn''t until the sky darkened and the distance became unclear that Elijah came back to his senses. His voice was hoarse as he said to the others, "Let''s go back!"


    "Mm!"


    "Elijah, will we be able to see Sister Charlotte again?"


    "As long as you cultivate well, you will definitely have the chance!"


    "Then… I''ll make sure to cultivate hard when I go back!"


    Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, several months had passed.


    The descent between the two realms had finally ended.


    In a dense forest filled with towering mountains, an old man and a young woman were resting on a tform at the top of a mountain.


    The woman asked the old man, "Master, what is the gift you left for my husband?"


    "Hmm..." The old man pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "It''s something that can save your husband''s life in a critical moment!" Stay tuned for updates on empire


    Seeing the old man being cryptic, the woman rolled her eyes and didn''t press for more details. Instead, she curiously asked, "Master, you mentioned you obtained some interesting devices from our realm. What are they?"


    "Oh, those!" The old man responded, rummaging through his spatial ring for a moment before taking out arge cylindrical object.


    As soon as the woman saw the cylinder, she was instantly dumbfounded.


    "A... missile?"


    "Is that what this device is called? I noticed its impressive power, so I gathered a few from your realm. Besides this, there are some other devices, and their power should be even greater!"


    Hearing this, the woman''s expression became even more incredulous.


    "N... no way... a nuclear bomb?"


    ...


    Neoville City, Azure Isle!


    After Elijah returned to the ind, the women were naturally overjoyed to see him, but they were also saddened upon hearing about Charlotte''s departure.


    However, time heals all wounds.


    Upon his return to the ind, Elijah secluded himself for several months and finally fully transitioned from the Hun Yuan Technique to the Demon Evil Art.


    Thanks to his powerful physique as a fourth-tier awakened being, he was able to skip the body refinement stage entirely and reach the mid-stage of Chi refinement.


    Once Elijah had fully mastered the Demon Evil Art, he began to experiment with a special secret method to remove the corpse poison from the corpse core and purify the soul.


    To borate, this method of removing corpse poison from the corpse core typically requires a corpse pill, which is a technique used by those with considerable strength.


    Elijah,cking a corpse pill, naturally couldn''t use it.


    However, after understanding the underlying principles, Elijah cleverly improvised by using third-tier zombies under his control to remove the corpse poison.
