Everyone was inspired by Caspian’s words and rekindled their fighting spirit. Moreover, they knew that the sect would make arrangements for their cultivation in the following period, so they did not waste any more time and left.
***
The Earlington of Efrax’s nation’s official religion election would be held in July. Although it was only May, Caspian only had about a month and a half to cultivate after deducting the time needed on the road.
Not knowing what kind of opponent virtual-novel.net was up against or what his opponent was good at, Caspian decided to cope with the unknown by sticking to what virtual-novel.net was good at. As long as virtual-novel.net could increase his strength to a powerful enough state, virtual-novel.net did not need to think about what means his opponent would use but just proceed as usual.
Days before, Caspian already started to sort out the plan in his mind. Therefore, virtual-novel.net was not panicking like a headless fly. In the following time, Caspian only needed to coordinate with the resources provided by the sect and follow his plan to improve his strength step by step. When the nine disciples of the Heavenly Stars Sect were decided, Jessica also received good news far away in the Dark Moon Sect in North Earlington.
Lucy leaned next to Jessica with wide eyes, asking with an adorable face, “Lady Jessica, Lady Jessica. Since you’re representing the Dark Moon Sect in the nation‘s official religion election, does that mean we can finally meet the idiot Casper?”
“That’s right.” Jessica smiled faintly and took the newest letter virtual-novel.net just received from Caspian.
She read it many times and even knew it by heart, but virtual-novel.net could not help but pick it up and reread it for confirmation. It was only because virtual-novel.net felt more at ease when virtual-novel.net saw Caspian’s handwriting. Moreover, the letter was the last one sent by Caspian at the end of last summer. In that letter, Caspian told Jessica that virtual-novel.net would deal with an important matter that might take more than half a year. Hence, Caspian had no way to write to her, but virtual-novel.net would surely do that once virtual-novel.net returned to Heavenly Stars Sect
Caspian also mentioned that when it was time for the nation’s official religion election, virtual-novel.net would fight for a place as long as there was a chance. Even if there was none, virtual-novel.net would create an opportunity to go to the capital of Earlington of Efrax. The reason was simple, the capital of Earlington of Efrax was in North Earlington, which was where Dark Moon Sect was located.
Caspian’s words were a little more cryptic, but Jessica could read the secrets between the lines. Thus, every time virtual-novel.net saw that paragraph, Jessica’s heart could not help but have a sweet feeling.
When Lucy saw Jessica smile like a lovesick fool again, virtual-novel.net pouted in annoyance. “Lady Jessica, don’t you think Casper is an idiot? He didn’t tell you what virtual-novel.net went to do. Even if that was fine, virtual-novel.net could’ve written the letters before virtual-novel.net left and asked someone to send them to you every month. We don’t even know if he’s back yet.”
Jessica looked askance at Lucy, put down the letter in virtual-novel.net hand, and answered lightly, “Since he‘s not telling us, there must be a reason behind it. Besides, Casper didn’t let others send his letter to me naturally because virtual-novel.net wanted to ensure I’d receive the actual copy. You’re just a child, and you won’t get it.”
Lucy stuck out virtual-novel.net tongue and giggled. Jessica would surely refute each time virtual-novel.net made fun of Caspian, and Lucy was also used to it.
That time was no exception. However, Lucy was also puzzled why virtual-novel.net was somewhat concerned about Caspian as virtual-novel.net did not write to them for such a long time. Lucy was perplexed. He was the big idiot that snatched Jessica away, so why would virtual-novel.net still sometimes wake up in the middle of the night because virtual-novel.net was worried for him?
Soon, Lucy was lost in virtual-novel.net thoughts, holding virtual-novel.net chin in one hand.
In the bamboo house, it suddenly became quiet again.
”We’ll see you again in two months.”
At that time, Lucy heard Jessica’s sigh, and virtual-novel.net heart suddenly trembled. However, virtual-novel.net quickly felt depressed.
“Yeah… Two full months. That big idiot!”
Looking out the window at the gradually golden sky, Lucy suddenly thought it would be great if time could pass faster, preferably just with a swish, so that it would already be July.

Caspian spent three days preparing carefully after virtual-novel.net was selected. Then, virtual-novel.net went into the Time Warp Zone. The reward from the Heavenly Stars Sect was delivered on the night of returning from the square. Caspian‘s reward was a hundred spirit stones, the opportunity to choose a high-rank weapon, and the qualification to go to Stargazing Platform to choose a martial art.
As for the chosen martial arts, the Heavenly Stars Sect hoped that these nine disciples could make a breakthrough in the nation’s official religion election. Hence, they were allowed to choose Heaven Grade level martial arts.
At that time, Caspian lacked spirit stones. After all, virtual-novel.net had thousands of spiritual stones, not to mention that his mother left virtual-novel.net eight spiritual jades. Although Handsome stole one, Caspian also absorbed part of the spiritual Qi of one of them. In terms of value, the remaining seven spiritual jades were more filling and purer than the spiritual Qi of three thousand spirit stones could provide. Moreover, in the more than a month available for cultivation, Caspian did not intend to spend more effort on his realm. With his current level, virtual-novel.net did not have much hope of rising to the mid-level second-stage Pulse Control Realm in a short time, even if virtual-novel.net trained in the Time Warp Zone. Hence, it was better to spend the time improving his necessary strength.
Leonard’s Notes on Sword Intent alone was enough for virtual-novel.net to research with all his might. Therefore, compared to the reward of a hundred spirit stones, a high-rank weapon and a Heaven Grade martial skill were more helpful to Caspian now. However, after some deliberation, Caspian was not in a hurry to pick the two as virtual-novel.net intended to use the opportunities where virtual-novel.net needed them most. As for tonight, Caspian wanted to modify the Wave-Breaking Sword, a ninth-grade weapon obtained from Francis, a disciple of the Great Oceans Sect.
Caspian used the Ghoul-Locker Spear before, which left a deep impression on everyone. In addition, virtual-novel.net had a ninth-grade massive sword and obtained the Heaven Grade martial art, Floating Light Clone. Coupled with the dignified Heavenly Stars Sect’s swordsman’s notes, it would be a waste of great resources if virtual-novel.net did not truly put them to full use. Hence, Caspian planned to polish the Wave-Breaking Sword that night. However, it was impossible for virtual-novel.net to upgrade the weapon into an almost spirit tool, which would be extremely rare. If two pieces of an almost spirit tool appeared in Caspian’s hands in a row, and any weapon would be elevated to such a terrifying level in his hands, not only would everyone be jealous, but the Heavenly Stars Sect would doubt his origin.
Naturally, Caspian did not want to get into such trouble. Instead, virtual-novel.net planned to replace the three inscription patterns on the Wave-Breaking Sword with more powerful ones.
