Many months had passed within the Eclipse Dimension since Silver used his transfer array. After exerting a great amount of his void qi, he was forced to settle down and recover. Transferring a complete city into the Eclipse Dimension, actively sealing it while hiding the spatial disturbance was extremely taxing despite being in the sovereign realm.
Within the Constellation World, Silver was the only person in the sovereign realm that could do it. It was extremely rare for those who had broken through the sovereign realm to fully grasp and utilize the world laws. Even then, those who knew world laws at that cultivation level were rarer than a phoenix feather.
Silver looked up at the sky of his sealed dimension, gazing out into the outside world. Many cultivators, demons, and beasts have tried to explore the "ruins" yet none could pass the first layer alive. One had to be resistant to both the corroding and toxifying effects of the nether qi, including the death qi that was mixed in.
If another compared Fen Diao's concoction to this dangerous miasma, his was basically childs play. Gradually, within the tides of time, this "ruin" will become the most dangerous spot in the Constellation World.
"Bu Keng, how is the city coming along?" asked Silver glancing at Bu Keng, holding a huge stack of papers. Silver narrowed his eyes for a split moment, feeling dreadful as he watched Bu Keng placed the papers on his desk. He truly hated doing paperwork.
"Much work to do, including the paperwork you tried throwing onto Wang Bo and I again," chided Bu Keng, narrowing his eyes at Silver as he handed him the stack. Most of the things requested had to go through the chain of command, needing Silver's actual approval.
"I seem to have misplaced this stack. We need to make sure the papers are sorted out properly. I can't have our workload being mixed up..."
'It feels like you're avoiding your responsibilities again..' thought Bu Keng. After being in the Eclipse Dimension for nearly half a year, he realized Silver enjoyed dodging his responsibilities when it came to official paperwork and anything that had to do with structural progress of the city.
"Alright, I'll get to it but let's drink some tea and relax," responded Silver putting the papers aside and then bringing out a tea set. By using his qi, Silver generated a mild and moderate heat to warm up the water he poured into the teapot while preparing the tea leaves. After several minutes had passed, the tea was ready to drink.
"Calculating the time, we should be ready within these next few days. The mortal villagers had already settled in and adapted to their new land.All of the clans, including the top three, have decided on their representative for their weekly reports," continued Bu Keng sipping on his cup of tea.
"Thanks to your display of immense prowess, no one dares to fight you over the Eclipse Dimension. However, they're displeased that they cannot create any sects since you keep rejecting them continuously during the past three months. At the rate of development, everything should align accordingly to this new environment. May I ask a personal question?"
"Bu Keng, I thank you for the work you've done since the transfer and sealing. Without the help of Yong Satay, Yong Dango, the Wang Clan, and you, I wouldn't be able to resolve the situations as quickly and cleanly as it is now. What is your question?"
"Where is the Kiu Clan and our Master Thao?"
" In regards to the Kiu Clan, only four members are left. I need not explain which four are left but the culprit for their eradication is still alive and well. I forgot about that rascal until you brought it up."
"You didn't kill the culprit? Why?"
"He's too strong for the current you but if you want, I can hand him to you. I already took a portion of his soul, turning him into an independent slave. Do whatever you feel necessary," informed Silver snapping his finger.
A small child appeared before Bu Keng, seeming to be around ten, wearing all black. Their long black hair grew past their feet, hovering in the air before them. Their blood-red eyes stared at Silver with disgust and fear while ignoring the quivering Bu Keng.
"Here's the small jade containing a portion of his soul and blood. He is the Ghost Asura, Che Myoga. Crushing this jade will harm him but it will let him listen to your every order," added Silver, giving Bu Keng three glistening red jades.
Che Myoga turned his head away from Silver and stared at the red jades in Bu Keng's right hand as held onto them. He truly wanted to break free from his slave seal but he couldn't get near the red jades that controlled him nor could he lash out to anyone unless commanded.
If he ever got a chance to be free, he would definitely hide in a place from this horrible demon in human skin. Never had he been treated worse than the shit under his shoes until he met Silver. Just remembering all the torture made him quiver inwardly with fear.
"This is the culprit..?"
"Yes, that is the one who was sealed under the Kiu Clan. Not only that, your clan is a branch clan of the main Kiu Clan. It seems only the patriarchs and a few elders knew of this but kept it a secret. As to where the main clan is, I have a feeling that is where your master Kiu Thao will be heading to or is at currently. However, you cannot kill Che Myoga due to the difference in strength. At best, I can make him your lackey and bodyguard. Why not use, humiliate and let them suffer? Or would you rather give them a swift death? Although I cannot help you avenge your clan, I can have Che Myoga listen to you. Be creative but also wary. Give the other two to Yong Satay and Dango."
"Thank you, Master Kong Xing," replied Bu Keng as he showed a thoughtful face. Even though he could not beat nor harm Che Myoga, he and the others could at least do other "fun" things with the perpetrator.
"En, continue your hard work. I will be away for awhile too," informed Silver as Bu Keng gave a slight nod and left in a hurry. He watched Che Myoga give him one last glare before following Bu Keng with an aggrieved expression.
In the near future, shrilling screams would be heard throughout the Eclipse Dimension followed by strings of curses and more screams. Although many were concerned at first but as the days went on, they got used to it and went on with their lives.
"Xing Soba, Xing Mei, come here," called Silver as he entered the courtyard to his home.
"Yes Master," replied Xing Soba and Xong Mei in unison walking towards Silver. They gave a respectful bow, listening carefully for his next words.
"Tomorrow you will both begin exploring the Constellation World to find your cultivation path. You've already understood the basics and consolidated your foundation firmly. However, I will create an avatar to travel alongside you both incase of emergency and some guidance. Do not depend on me to save you as my avatar will only help in extremely dire situations. Understood?"
"Yes Master."
Silver showed a touching smile and handed Xing Mei a black jade bracelet and Xing Soba a black jade ring. In addition to the black jewelry, he gave Xing Mei a green ring while Xing Soba was given an orange ring.
"These are specially made spatial artifacts made for the both of you. Similar to those that have an array built to safeguard the materials within, these will disintegrate once you die including what's within them. Once you put them on, it'll instantly hide itself as if you aren't wearing it. Those other rings are your identification rings, it should help you two when you go through cities that use such identifiers."
"Thank you Master Kong," thanked the two disciple bowing respectfully. To them, Silver was their savior and teacher who did not use them but helped them with opened arms.
After they gave their bow and looked back up, their eyes showed a dazed expression. Their master was no longer there but an average looking donkey took his spot.
"We'll head to the Black Swamp starting tomorrow," informed Silver's donkey avatar.
