The sense of smell is too strong for him to bear. It seems like he needs to take some time to get used to it.
He then started checking out how his legs are, but then only he realized that he is butt naked in front of all his team. He hurriedly wore his clothes and went back to his usual self and started checking his legs out.
He sprinted, jumped, and practiced some kicks. Overall, the flexibility, strength, and agility of the legs improved a lot.
He felt a lot lighter on his feet.
He finally changed his attention to the rest of his teammates.
Finally, he is not the weaker member of the team. When they saw Sam's smile, everyone looked away. Even Night Ghost who is an Astral Plane Consummate level cultivator looked away.
Sam wanted to ask someone for a spar.
But as he was about to open his mouth, Vidyut hurriedly interrupted.
"Boss, take a look at this."
He took out a quail egg-sized purple crystal and showed it to Sam.
Sam looked at it and took it into his hands.
This is the divine dimension crystal of the thunder phoenix.
Sam looked at it and compared it to the other two divine dimensions he had and he couldn't help but feel that this is more similar to the ice divine dimension than his own divine dimension.
Both of them are similar in a way as they could open a spatial gateway for the entrance, but it is not the same for his own divine dimension.
It is a completely confined space and could even be considered as a small world of itself. But these two divine dimensions can be connected to the outside world. He doesn't know why this difference is there, but he is curious to find it out.
At this moment, two blades of grass at the mouth of the valley suddenly disappeared.
While Sam and his team are in the valley, a kilometer away, a group of people gathered. They are Kumar and Noah's group. A Noah is currently sitting on the ground with her eyes closed and so did another guy in the group. They opened their eyes.
"Sam took the Phoenix skeleton away and he broke through."
Noah said to Kumar.
"What level is he at?"
Kumar asked.
"Middle stage transcendence of Astral Plane."
Kumar was stunned, the rest of the group doesn't know why he is so surprised. But they didn't ask and only waited for them to continue.
"Currently, the players are at the Late stage of Peak stage of transcendence. He placed an extreme distance between us. It will be hard to catch up." Kumar said dejectedly.
"It is not time to think about that. Think about how this affects our future plans in the game. He already has a team of strong people and one of them is even an early stage Consummate level cultivator. All of his team and he himself is in the transcendent stage and they have high combat efficiency.
Within the first three powers, the Puppet organization and the Myriad Beast sect are the only ones with multiple Consummate stage cultivators. The other one doesn't have only one and the Myriad Beast sect is of Beast cultivators which makes it difficult for us with the addition of beasts at the Astral Plane Consummate stage.
I think we need to move to the third option immediately work. The players who didn't show up until now might have already gone there.
We need to leave this place. Sam already had the first piece anyway, even if we get any of the other pieces, we are not going to get the first piece from his hands."
Noah and Kumar exchanged glances and the rest of the group just shrugged.
They immediately left.
Sam and his team don't know about these people, but as they moved, Sam suddenly felt like he smelled something familiar and looked in that direction.
He looked there curiously trying to remember, what exactly is going on, but he didn't bother after some thought. He changed his attention back to the lightning divine dimension and as thought more and more he started seeing new plans to move forward.
Then he looked at the knocked-out guards and he thought of something.
He arranged a stone table with the earth element and took out some surgical tools as he brought the guards one by one onto it while he performed surgery and placed something inside them while Night Ghost made sure that they stayed asleep while Sam worked on them.
After they were done, the surgical wounds were healed without any marks and were thrown at their original place. Night ghost placed a slumber curse on them so that they would stay asleep for a lot of time.
Sam then turned to his teammates and said.
"Let us go back I have some new ideas."
With that, Sam and the team used the dimensional drifter to go back to the city outskirts.
Sam set up his surveillance equipment back and took out a communication token.
"Young Master? How is it going on your side?"
The young master replied.
"The branch leaders bought the story. They are trying to see if they can get any information on that outer deacon. They are also calling for help from subordinate organizations. All their strongest and core fighters who are not involved in the regular administration are summoned to the three capitals to guard the heirlooms. Particularly the first one."
"Good, if you find any information on the outer deacon, you send it to me through the surveillance puppets nearby.
What about the furnace core though, if they are guarding this first part so much, would you be able there?"
"I will find a way to go there by tomorrow. I can take Prash with me."
"Okay, I will send the replacement tonight. You need to do it perfectly and there should be no doubts at all."
"Yes, Boss. I will do it."
"By the way, I need some information on the people inside your prisons, all their strengths, crimes, and such. I will be sending something to you and Kiran so that you can use that.
Kiran, there is a slight change of plan and you would need to take some beating."
"What do you mean by beating?" Kiran asked anxiously.
"Well, we stole the thunder phoenix skeleton and made some extra plans there, so you would be taking some serious beating."
"Boss, that is unfair. I am already infiltrating this deep. Why would I need to take a beating?"
"Because you would get an extra glass of heavenly wine."
"Okay boss. Deal." Kiran agreed immediately.
Sam just smiled and explained the remaining plan to them and contacted Arkiv separately.
"So, how is the situation? Is there any special candidate we can make use of in the groups of Second and Third branches?"
"There indeed is. But before that, I need to tell you, Noah and Kumar left."
"They left? You saw them?" Sam asked with a bit of surprise. After all, Noah and Kumar really did make a suitable plan, but their plans were based on the subordinate organizations and they prepared things in advance to rile them up. But now they are useless as the blame went to a completely different person.
Their plans are done for and now the subordinate organizations wouldn't direct their anger to the puppet organization just because some external person attacked them because of their relationship.
"Where did they go?"
"I don't know, they are very cautious. Even I was able to find out only because I managed to identify one of their companions and they went to a completely neutral realm. I don't know which organization they are targeting next."
"Well, there is no alert from the list, so we can only wait. So, what about this candidate. How useful is he?"
"Well, it is actually three candidates. One of them is a female disciple in the second branch and the remaining two are the two young masters in the second and third branches."
"A love triangle?"
"Yes. The woman is a piece of work. She like attention, in fact, I think she is almost addicted to it. From what I heard from the guards of the second branch, she managed to cause some serious commotion in the second branch. To gather more attention, she even started rumors about herself. Many disciples and guards were expelled and killed. Her father who is an elder started restraining her in the second branch and didn't let her loose.
But for some reason, she was allowed to come here and she is making the two young masters her toys to play around with. They are going crazy and jealous over her."
"Interesting, then why did she not try her charms on the first young master."
"Well, I heard that she already did previously a few years ago, but was beaten black and blue from him. From that day onwards, she wanted to deal with him and make him go down on his knees to gain her attention, I think these are her attempts. She wanted to gain his attention with the help of these two young masters."
Sam couldn't help but smile at this.
