The next day, the middle-aged man who was beaten up by the three youngsters, walked out of his house with new vigor, any cultivator could see the traces of spiritual energy raging around him.

It is clearly showcasing his lack of control over the spiritual energy. He staggered along the streets proudly and went to search for the three youngsters who beat him up yesterday.

As soon as he saw them sitting in a restaurant to have their breakfast, he slammed the leader's head into the table, without even caring about giving an explanation or any form of talk.

"You…" The lackey on the side was about to say something but he wasn't able to do so, as he the middle-aged man kicked his squarely on the chest.

After more than five minutes of bashing, the middle-aged man finally said.

"From today onwards, I, Monti doesn't owe you guys anything. I hope you guys don't bother people like and make an honest living." He spoke righteously as he walked back to his home proudly.

An almost similar situation occurred in another corner of the village. A middle-aged woman who was being tortured by her daughter-in-law tied her up and lectured her while slapping some sense into her.

The same type of situations arouses in different locations in different continents, even the very village Sam originated from, the Lava Rock village also had similar situations occurring. As for who the cause, is it was yet to be known.

Sam is thinking of making preparations, this time, he doesn't have many new inventions up his sleeves. With all his means, including the energy cells detonation, he could at most take a pre-transcendent directly and leave with some serious injuries in case of a surprise attack.

If he made sufficient preparations, he can still use the thunder prison and deal with a single transcendent.

But a Major power is formed with at least one person who is beyond the transcendent level and that is a cultivator at Consummate realm {A/N: Cultivation stage explanation will be given in a later chapter}

He has no hope of defeating or confronting a person at the Consummate realm with his current level. No matter the tricks and the number of designs he had in mind, he couldn't find the items he needed to execute them in a short time frame of nine months.

He would need high-quality minerals and sufficient resources to make them into what he wants them to be. He has neither power nor influence to get these resources, he believed that even his money is not enough.

Some things can only be gotten in equivalent trades and the spirit stones, no matter the amount wouldn't make the cut.

He was having a hard time thinking about how he should proceed.

He has to bring back Watt, no matter the price he has to pay. A single Beast faction is not going to be enough to stop him.

He started sorting his thoughts and came to a conclusion, he has to make a hit and run. He has to create chaos and get back Watt before they realize what is happening, but the Beast faction should know that it is him, Sam who brought his friend outside the stomach of the beast faction.

He came to this conclusion even before he entered the resting place. Now, he is thinking of ways to find the most efficient method.

And the first step in it, is him growing stronger and reach the maximum limit of the cultivation within these nine months.

Apart from that, he has to achieve another two elemental fusions at least. As for the technical side, he has most of the things taken care of and there is only one large thing remaining for him to deal with.

That is a new weapon, he was inspired by Vickers' fighting style. His spiritual core was unique and he is probably the only Warrior mage with a neutral attribute on the planet and Sam wanted to be a second one. After all, one of the abilities of his spiritual core is manipulation, so he would try and see what he can do.

But if he can really achieve what he wants, then there might be another card up his sleeve which would make him feel a bit more reassured when he visits the Beast faction.

The days passed slowly as they worked their ass off. Philip and Jack didn't get to slack off at all. Sam only has one thing to say to them and even lazy Philip started practicing.

"If you don't break through to the late stage, don't even bother thinking about coming to the beast faction."

The breakthroughs in the Grand realm cultivation will take longer than the previous three, as they would be undergoing the metamorphosis after this and reach the peak of the life-span and health as a normal human.

There are almost no cases of people becoming Nascent stage cultivators before they turn twenty. Heck, they are a one in a million genius if they can make it before twenty-two. And now, from the Deadline Sam placed on them, it is true that they would be on the verge of breaking through to Nascent at twenty-one.

And in Sam's case, he would barely turn twenty. Their growth rate is too fast, but they knew that the younger generation of the six major powers is also quite outstanding this time, there might be cases where they would turn Nascent at twenty years old too.

They didn't dare to think further and only went on cultivating and practicing.

Every day, their routine is pretty much fixed. They would wake up before dawn and start cultivating. As Philip and Jack need enlightenment in their cultivation techniques that is one of the perfect timings.

After around four hours, Philip will go to Sam's lecture, while Jack would try to comprehend the sword from the things around him.

His current focus was still on the water and after that, they will enter the divine dimension and will have sparring practice for five hours straight to check their regular progress.

The next thing will be fighting the beasts in the hunting zones of the thunder god temple.

After that cultivating and rest.

Sam is the only one who is focusing on some other aspects.

One of them is his elemental fusion, he doesn't need enlightenment so there is no need for him to directly spend his time cultivating as the beasts would be busy munching the herbs and the meat of the beasts.

He completely decided to give up on the herbs he has grown till now and decided to let the beasts feed on them.

He would use that time to get better at the elemental fusion.

Apart from that, he would be spending his time making things that are needed for the trip.

The people from the thunder god temple didn't ask them for anything. Although Sam was supposed to be the artisan and many of his peers initially wanted to ask Sam to make their weapons, they didn't dare to ask him directly after the resource competition.

Now, that their training is going smoothly.

The training of someone else in the Usaine sect is making the whole sect tremble.

Sirona who was just in secluded training came out a few days ago and started dueling the remaining grand realm cultivators, within the sect.

Many cultivators don't even know that Sirona exists in their sect. Because, she is a secret in the sect, and only the people who have enough right to have a place in the court knows about her.

But now, she is on her sparring spree. She is trying her newly learned techniques and she is showing no signs of holding back.

After all, she never experienced a normal sparring match. All she knew is sparring means fighting and she is beating the crap out of everyone. There are more and more candidates who are being injured fatally and the whole sect is in chaos.

But the sect leader has to say anything about it, he did order some Nascent stage cultivators to restrain her a bit, but every time she was weirdly prepared and the more and more of her cards are revealed.

All of a sudden, the sect leader didn't want to restrain her, he just sent one Nascent after another to check all the preparations she made in the whole sect.

And the results are shocking for him to see.

There is no way for the people who went to deal with her to even touch her. There are all sorts of traps in the sect which he, even the sect leader doesn't know about.

Even though, he knew that there are some traps that are known to everyone and she made it with the sect's consent. He realized that they are not even half of what she set up in the sect.

No matter, where she stood, she could activate at least three different formations, she could trigger at least four different traps and she has enough capability to kill a Nascent on her whim.

But she didn't kill anyone, at least not yet.
