Chapter 115: Continuing Their Journey
Chapter 115: Continuing Their JourneyAldrian pondered over his gains today. While they might not have directly increased his strength like his experience in the temple of the Piercing Heaven Sect, they were still invaluable. The knowledge he gained would undoubtedly help him in the future.
"What Baek Ji-Min said about the Being’s essence wasn’t far from the truth, It’s impossible to visit something that has an abstract nature and no fixed form. A Being’s essence is merely the embodiment of their true self, something even they might not fully understand." he thought.
"Each Being’s essence holds its own truth, and that truth can take many forms. It is shaped by our past actions and the origin that always follows us—the karmic ties that persist, even through reincarnation cycle."
"Luckily, I have my golden energy, which is connected to my past and my true self, and it has led me to my Being’s essence, allowing me to visit it. Essentially, you must find a part of your true self, embrace it, and acknowledge it for what it is. Only then can you step into that realm. The challenge is that it’s almost impossible to find your true self."

When they departed, there weren’t many people escorting them out—just a few elders. Even Sect Master Baek Ha-Yoon gave them only a brief farewell before returning to her duties. Now, they were already inside the carriage, leaving the Thorny Flower Garden and heading toward Blooming Flower City to use the teleportation station.
Unbeknownst to most of the group, though not to Aldrian, who sensed it as he looked back at the Thorny Flower Garden, Sect Master Baek Ha-Yoon stood on a high cliff, smiling down at them. It was a genuine smile, full of affection.
Aldrian sighed to himself, knowing that he could only wait for future events to unfold. What would this thorny flower do next?

Meanwhile, as Aldrian’s group traveled to the Forgeheart Kingdom, at a hidden assassin hideout, an old man read through a report from one of his men. His eyebrows raised in surprise as he finished, then he destroyed the paper with a flick of lightning.
"The rumor about the Golden Swan Commerce being in cahoots with devils has been spreading recently from Demon territory, what a bold move from them, leaking such a sensitive rumor. Even if it’s just gossip, it will tighten the shackles on the Golden Swan Commerce, restricting their freedom of movement."
He leaned back, contemplating the implications.
"’He’ will be busy dealing with the rumors, so there won’t be any significant moves from ’him’ for a while. Well, that’s good—he won’t have time to pay attention to master."
