Chong Han Yu was communicating with the other elders.

He was updating them on developments and checking if their plan was progressing or not.

At the mountain belonging to the Spectral King Venerable—Mount Lao Bu—where the true Gate of Death existed, it was a mine for soul refinement.

But there, one of the elders spoke to Chong Han Yu's image:

• "We are still trying to extract the soul, but it's difficult. That soul has manifested an entire dream world inside the Gate of Death."

• "This has made matters more complex and worse. Even our elder, distinguished in the Star Path, has suffered because of it."

• "As for you, Chong Han Yu, how are the battle affairs progressing?"

Chong Han Yu replied:

• "They were good until Han Chenging appeared. That musician truly deserves his title!"

• "At first, I was restraining him using the Five-Colored Heart Sword."

• "But he revealed a terrifying song and defeated me soundly."

• "Now we are retreating to Mount Ling Hua. I will destroy them there no matter the cost!!!"

• "Alright, then proceed with your plan!"

The conversation ended, and Chong Han Yu and his subordinates continued their journey.

The journey was extremely difficult due to their severe injuries from engaging in battles.

Five days had passed since the last battle with Han Chenging, whose recovery was proceeding swiftly.

Elsewhere, the will of Venerable Star Constellation was investigating and deducing in the Ninth-Rank Heaven Tower.

This tower was connected to the Gap of Fate and possessed deductive abilities allowing them to observe the entire world.

The Venerable was trying to uncover the plans of the Shadow Sect, but they were protected by a vast number of Extreme Movements preventing deduction.

Therefore, she could only observe the battles between Mount Ling Hua and the Sound Forest (nicknamed the Sound Forest after Han Chenging displayed immense prowess in the Sound Path during those battles).

And in the mortal world, Clark was gathered with Brando, Lawrence, and Natasha.

In those past days, he had been collecting some Extreme Movements and refining them with Jin's help.

Some were for himself—perhaps he would use them—and others were for his team.

Clark gave Lawrence the Extreme Movement "Sword Claws," which belonged to Su Tai.

As for Brando, he presented him with the Extreme Movement "Self-Power"—he could use Qi to create copies of himself, but it didn't require his soul (unlike Clark who replicated himself using his soul, while Brando needed the souls of others—a weakness). But Clark gave him several souls to use.

As for Natasha, Clark gave her the Extreme Movements "Water Healing" and "Water Arrow"—healing and attack.

Lawrence asked:

• "What are these worm-like things?"

Clark laughed:

• "They are called Extreme Movements. I've given each of you something that suits your strengths."

• "You fight with swords, so I gave you Sword Claw."

• "As for you, Brando, I gave you Self-Power—you can produce copies of yourself or shape those copies as you wish using others' souls."

• "And as for Natasha, I gave her Water Arrow and Water Healing."

• "They all use your thoughts to activate and use the abilities. Understood?!"

Everyone nodded in understanding.

Clark soon continued:

• "Good, you must train and learn how to use them among yourselves to get accustomed. The great battle is approaching."

After finishing the matter, Clark had put his mask back on and returned to the church.

This time, he had obtained significant information, one of which was about the Shadow Sect's battles. It was interesting to Clark.

He wanted to seize many spoils and go there, but although the mortal world was limited, it was like a safe home—no Immortal would approach you.

But Clark only possessed two combat Extreme Movements and another Extreme Movement, the mask, in his Theft Path style, and he needed more than that.

Therefore, he was determined to participate in the Shadow Sect's war, and perhaps obtain more information about the Spectral King Venerable.

Tai Fei—this man was a mysterious enigma to Clark, not easily solved.

When Clark returned, he went to Jin:

• "What do you want?" Jin asked Clark.

The other replied:

• "I'm going to the Immortal World. I have some business there!"

Jin replied in astonishment:

• "Are you crazy or what?!"

Clark laughed:

• "No, because I will disguise myself as you."

Jin replied:

• "That won't work, you fool! Because I will participate in the Refinement Conference. If you cause disasters, attention will turn to me, and we'll die together!"

Clark replied coldly:

• "My destination is different from yours. I will head to the Shadow Sect."

• "You know? I won't disguise myself with your face. No one knows me except the Heavenly Court."

• "I will go to the north, for the Shadow Sect awaits me there."

Jin was shocked:

• "What do you mean?!"

• "I mean I have information and a good deal that won't harm them, and perhaps I'll get something useful. I won't hide myself from deductions, perhaps."

Jin sighed:

• "Alright, but you'll take a fake Immortal Unconsciousness like mine."

Clark was shocked:

• "What do you mean?!"

• "As you know, the Immortal World is full of powerful Immortals, so you need Immortal combat power, even if it's fake."

• "And at the same time, to store resources."

Clark nodded in agreement, but a question arose in his mind:

• "Jin, I know you possess some Immortal Jewels. Lend me a few; I have some things."

Jin was surprised:

• "Do you want to kill someone with them?!"

• "No, only if a strong enemy appears to me, I'll use them in my fight if things become critical."

Jin replied:

• "You surely know how rare Immortal Extreme Movements are. Right, aren't you afraid of being robbed?!"

Clark laughed:

• "Are you crazy? The founder of the Theft Path is afraid of being stolen from?! Don't worry, I can manage my affairs."

The two went to Jin's storage—actually, his fake Immortal Unconsciousness.

Jin explained to Clark that the Heaven's Guards were the ones who created this method so their soldiers could store without any fear and possess an Immortal aura.

Also, he couldn't increase his progress in attainment because it was a fake Immortal Unconsciousness. It slightly disappointed Clark, but he proceeded with the matter.

It was a very small and glowing sphere. Clark placed it in his chest.

Soon, strong light flowed from his eyes, mouth, and ears.

The aura was intensely powerful.

Clark felt the spaces beginning to appear within him.

Lands were forming from absorbing the power of heaven and earth.

But that land wasn't of immense size—it was only 1,500 square kilometers.

Clark laughed: "Now with combat power like this, I can wander and obtain resources without any fear."

Jin showed something strange—it was an Immortal Extreme Movement called "Immortal Travel."

The two quickly transferred to the Gap of Power, then a great door opened above the tree, and with a "Bam!" they transferred again to the Immortal World.

The light was bright and terrifying.

Clark kept turning around, seeing the world around him: massive forests, a yellow sky, and islands floating in the sky.

It was wondrous and interesting.

The sounds of beasts were dense in the area where they appeared.

But Jin used "Immortal Travel" again and transferred to the Refinement Conference arena.

It was marvelous! The arena was massive, and there were many people—men and women—all from the sects, and their structure resembled the great Qin nation.

So Clark didn't feel alien among them.

Clark wanted to obtain "Immortal Travel," but "Immortal Travel" only transports you to areas you have seen and been to.

And Clark had never been to the north; this was his first time going to the Immortal World and wandering in it.

So now he was obliged to stay with Jin and see matters at the Refinement Conference.

But it was good, actually, for Clark decided to participate in the conference!

The sect managing the conference was known as the Hai Sect—known more for refinement than combat, not even among the great sects.

But the rounds involved refining high-level Extreme Movements of the fifth rank in attainment, depending more on speed than anything else.

Also, the Extreme Movement to be refined was announced by the supervisors—everyone would refine the same thing for fairness.

The winner would receive abundant resources, and perhaps one of the powerful sects would adopt your talent.

But Clark didn't care about the sects; he preferred independence over anything else.

The test for the conference participants began.

It was about refining the Extreme Movement "Veil of Fire"—a good defensive movement.

It was interesting! Clark needed something like this.

He had two combat Extreme Movements in the Theft Path, many in the Blade Path, and needed defense more than anything else!!!!

Clark began the refinement process. The resources were presented to him, and he squatted down to refine.

The flames surged chaotically due to his lack of experience in the Fire Path, but he remained focused and accustomed to this kind of pressure, so he didn't pay it much mind.

His control over the fire gradually increased, and the Fiery Veil began to take shape. It resembled a small silkworm with horns.

Suddenly, Clark wounded his own shoulder, and his blood dripped onto the silkworm.

· "What?! He's using Blood Path methods! What a devil!!!"
