Gacha Sovereign 484 Spirit Nest and Song Yu

On the Northern Continent,

A small wooden house stood tall on a cliff, making people think it was a shack. However, this house, which made everyone stay away, actually had a big secret underneath.

There was a tunnel right below the house, leading to the cave inside the cliff. In that cave, there was enough lighting, comfy furniture, and cultivation rooms, making it a nice base. This was the Spirit Nest's headquarters.

Greg found this special cave with his ability after Anna requested for a base. When the others agreed with this place, Greg started making the tunnel for this cave while the others made a run-down house to avoid anyone's attention. There was one entrance at the bottom of the cliff. Still, they blocked it to prevent anyone from noticing and made that shack to redirect other people's attention. They also made a secret entrance in case someone decided to investigate this house.

Anna was asking Ngina, who was stationed on the Willow Continent.

"Yes. Lady Rose reached the peak Martial Grandmaster Stage yesterday. She also had done the missions according to the Master's decision. Although she was a bit sad because of the sudden disappearance of Master and Mistress Anya, we somehow raised her determination with a little lie.

"As for Evelyn, she broke through to 9-Star Martial Lord Stage a month ago and should advance by another star pretty soon. Because of Lady Rose's progress, she halted everything and chose to cultivate all the time.

"Albeit, because Master's Bow Mastery and Lightning Technique, Lady Rose cultivated by leaps and bounds. If we have a Lightning Gem, we could raise her power and cultivation speed even more." Ngina reported.

"Yes. As for Lightning Gem, you should not worry about that. She should acquire it by herself. As for Evelyn, she has good progress, but she would not be able to help Alex with that speed. If she decides to go to another continent, then try to make her go to Blackwade Clan. If not, then it will be the end of our relationship. After all, not only would she endanger herself with that puny power, she would also put Alex in a dangerous situation."

Anna sighed. She had a lot of hope for this Evelyn and thought she could become strong if she had enough resources, albeit she had limits because Alex did not teach her to consolidate her power every five stars. Unlike Rose, Evelyn was neither his disciple or protege, so Alex never taught her that. Besides, when he wanted to tell her about that, she had become a Martial Grandmaster, making it a bit too late to start.

As for Rose, the moment Alex was teleported to another world and Anya chased him, she manipulated the information about Alex.

She told Rose that Alex needed to go back and could not teach her again because of some circumstances. The only way to take him back was to become strong and go to his family. Only that she could free him from that prison. With a few more bullsh*ts, Rose was convinced.

Not only did she need to become creative, making an ideal schedule for practice and missions, but it also increased her determination. With one year of Alex's training and another year after Alex was missing. She managed to become a Peak Martial Grandmaster with a solid foundation.

Her bow, Lightning Element, brain, beauty, characters, and strength. All of them were top-notch, leaving nothing to be desired. Even Charya could only classify her as a little monster with Alex as the big monster.

However… there was one problem…

"I have heard that a second rate influence is coming toward this continent. I don't know what he is up to." Ngina said with a troubled tone.

"Oh. That one… It seems they are under Joyful Union Sect. Their plan is to investigate the place where Song Yu grew up. Well, we can wait for Alex to come back first before discussing this.

"Considering the information we got from Anya not long ago, he should first reach the Martial Emperor before coming back. That way, the upper limit of our power would be Martial Monarch. Even if we screw that Joyful Union Sect, they could not do anything.

"Albeit, Alex most likely will go back around a year from now after looking at his progress… It can't be helped since there were many long travels and many foundation techniques to learn such as his Spirit Step and such.

"Just observe their movement first. If needed, you may eliminate them since, according to our information, the most powerful one was only a 5-Star Martial King. You alone should be enough for that."

"Understood. I shall proceed accordingly."

After hearing the report, she sighed, thinking about their own problem on the Northern Continent. Jeanne suddenly came to her and said, "Anna. We have a visitor."

"Who is it?"

"Well… you can't be more surprised that Song Yu finally came to us." Jeanne chuckled. "Anyway, should we lead her in? It seems there is an important thing."

"Yeah. Lead her from the main entrance. Try to observe the situation and see if there are any spies nearby." Anna nodded.

"I understand." Jeanne nodded, recalling that Alex wanted them to stay low for the time being and increased their strength.

Not long after, Jeanne appeared right behind Song Yu after checking her surroundings. Her appearance did not really change much, such as her short figure, blonde hair, and the others. However, after coming back for almost three years, her cheerful eyes were replaced by serious eyes, making her transform from an energetic beauty to an intelligent beauty.

And she even managed to become a peak Martial King in this short time by focusing all the resources she could get to her cultivation. She would be ashamed if her cultivation were below Alex when they met again.

Noticing a presence behind her, she turned around only to see a small girl. She was dealing with Anna the entire time, so she never knew about her and her first reaction was. "Hello. Where are you coming from? Are you lost? Do you want me to lead you home?"

"Shut up, you busty loli." Jeanne snarled. After all, Song Yu's height was less than 140 centimeters (4.6 ft), not that different from her. However, Song Yu indeed had great assets for her body, albeit whether a normal one or a busty one was better, it was a never-ending mystery.

Looking at her aggressiveness, Song Yu was taken aback. She wanted to say something, but Jeanne beat her first. "If you want to meet Anna, then you better follow me."

Jeanne leaped, leading her toward the wooden house. Hearing that, Song Yu quickly followed her. At first, she was surprised they were living in a shack, but after opening some mechanism, the secret door that led to the hidden cave was opened.

She was taken aback as this was her first time seeing something like that. Curious about this, she observed the surroundings, trying to notice any small detail.

Jeanne led her to a comfortable area where Anna and the others stayed, albeit everyone was doing their own things outside except her, Anna, and Greg.

Song Yu looked at Anna, wondering why her progress was slow compared to when she was on the Willow Continent.

"May I know what is the purpose of your sudden visit?" Anna suddenly asked.

"Ehm…" She looked at Jeanne and Greg, not knowing whether she could say or not.

"Don't worry about them. They are his closest aides." Anna introduced Jeanne and Greg.

"Actually, I want to give him this." She said, taking out a green box from her space ring. Anna instantly recognized the Green Box as it was the box that Mithra gave her as well as the box he got from the auction, making a complete box like the one in her hand.

"A green box?" Anna knew the box but did not know the function. She tried to probe it more from Song Yu. "What is this green box? From the appearance, it seems to contain a powerful array…"

"This green box… leads to the Strength Plateau." She said.

"Strength Plateau? I have heard this name. If I am not wrong, it should be a place where you can get stronger just by walking. I don't know the exact details though." Jeanne said.

"Yes. Well, it is like a very big event for every influence on this continent. Everyone could only participate once in their lifetime. There are around a hundred boxes in this continent, so there are many bloodshed just for this box." She said.

Narrowing her eyes, Anna recalled what Mithra said about the box. It was like opening a Pandora Box, making many people chase her until she ultimately died.

"There are a thousand white planks on the ground, stretching over two kilometers. Rumors said that whoever could walk until the end, they would gain unparalleled strength. For example, my grandfather could only reach 768th planks and he gained around 100 Dragon Strength.

"However, the trial is not that easy as each plank would give more and more pressure until it was unbearable. There are only several people in history that managed to step into the 900th planks.

"The realm will be opened for anyone who possesses this box. This event will be held every fifty years, AKA one and a half years from now."

"Wow! This is really such a coincidence…" Jeanne laughed, making Song Yu confused.

"Don't mind her. Anyway, if it is like what you said, it will be a good opportunity for him. However, I don't know why you would give him something like this if there are only a hundred boxes out there. I am sure by holding this, our lives will be in danger." Anna looked at Song Yu with a serious expression.

"He is my Junior Brother…" Song Yu closed her eyes, recalling something in her mind. "Without him, I won't have the courage to challenge my past earlier… I also heard his achievement in the Willow Continent. I am grateful that because of him, Honda Sana does not die, my Master does not die, or even Evelyn and the others from the Ninth Peak.

"Besides, we are dealing business with you guys from the backdoor and could be said that you guys are insane. I could not believe you can achieve many things with a small group like this. You can consider this as my good will, gratitude for him or whatever you want. Anyway, I acquired this box long ago, so my clan does not know about this. If they ask something about this, don't tell them it is from me."

Pondered for a while, Anna nodded. Although they knew Alex had one, since the other party wanted to give this, they had no reason to reject. Alex could give it to someone else in the future, so Anna accepted the box.

However, just when she was about to say something, there was a reaction in one of the traps that Nicole had set up. "!!!"

"Hmm… Anna, there is another visitor. Judging from the reactions… there are four… no, five people." Jeanne said while Greg confirmed her statement.

"?!" Anna furrowed her eyebrows and turned to Song Yu.

Seeing her expression, Song Yu immediately shook her head. "I have warned my clan that I will go alone to keep this as a secret."

"So… They are trespassers… Jeanne, check their intention first by luring them to a deeper area. If they are just someone who passes by, then let them go. If they are our enemies, we will kill them in a deeper area."

"Alright." She nodded, moving toward the exit.

"They might want this box…" Song Yu said, pointing at the green box. "However, I have made sure to leave no trail…"

"Well, they might also want to investigate our Spirit Nest. So, depending on the case, we might need to eliminate them… Of course, it won't be here so the people won't suspect this place as our base." Anna said.

"Should I help?"

"... We will see their strength first."
