Chapter 377 - The Time Nears!

In the Celestial Realm, the Righteous Fire Exploration Team had returned to the Sanctum as they went towards Grandmaster Simeon’s Blacksmith Shop.

"Old Man Simeon, are you in here? We got some new material you can work on!"

Boru’s boisterous voice erupted towards the large smithy in front of them as an even thicker voice returned out.

"If it’s the materials of some Normal Behemoth, don’t even bother."

"Ehh..."

Boru shook his head willfully as he heard these words thrown out a moment after he called out, motioning for the team to continue towards the dining quarters.

"Sometimes Grandmaster Simeon can be busy and turn you down unless you bring him an Elite Behemoth’s materials that are drenched in Supreme Laws. For now, let’s celebrate by gorging ourselves with food!"

The members of the Righteous Fire Exploration Team cheered as they followed along, Noah and Athena close behind them as the valiantAthena looked at Noah who seemed to be in thought.

"You have that same light as when you proposed the alternate path for the mission in the Magus World. What could my little Junior Brother Crixus be thinking?"

The Senior Sister that had spent a significant amount of time with Noah over the past month noticed the sharp light that was passing through his eyes, sending him a telepathic message as they went towards a spectacular looking building that had a heavenly smell of food and was bustling with the movements of numerous Celestials.

Noah glanced at the War Princess as he replied.

"This expansive Celestial Realm that is largely unexplored...I want to see exactly what its secrets are!"

His thoughts were simple, so he said them in a straightforward manner as Athena’s eyes shone at his answer, feeling a similar feeling deep in her heart. She looked towards the boisterous exploration team they just had their first hunt with as she sent back another telepathic message with a smile.

"Haha, don’t worry. After learning all we can from this top ranked Exploration Team and grow our knowledge and power, it won’t be too late to explore the unknown regions."

The words of Athena only affirmed Noah’s thoughts about how he should move forward from here on out, knowing it would be very hard if he wanted to move out alone, as the Grandmaster heavily favored his life!

He thought of all the possible ways he could achieve his goal of exploring this Celestial Realm freely as many possibilities floated in his mind, one of them even being simply waiting a few days until the powerful figures of the many Prime Worlds began entering for him to enter as well, or to simply teleport his clone to also move right away in the Celestial Realm!

These ideas floated in his mind as he decided against teleporting the clone for now, not fully understanding the extent to which the Celestials were watching the explored regions surrounding the Sanctum, and for the simple fact that nobody other than Celestials were currently in the Celestial Realm. If anybody came across a single being exploring the dangerous Celestial Realm, he would raise a lot of dangerous flags with the Celestials at this point in time. The idea of waiting for more foreign powers to enter the Celestial Realm was most ideal, as things would become even more chaotic then, and if he chose to bring his clone into the Celestial Realm as well, he could do it with out any reservations.

This would mean momentarily losing the bonus of constantly using the Time Space of the Spiritual Land to raise the proficiencies of the skill trees, but he could still divide his time to do this if the clone moved alone in this mystical realm. The other cause was the [Treasure Hunter] feature that was attached to the Spiritual Land, which he knew would be immensely helpful in this realm filled with treasures. So bringing his clone into this realm with the Spiritual Land was an inevitable action, all that mattered was when exactly he would do it.

So for now, he would learn all about the explored and unexplored regions, and prepare for when he could actually start to move in earnest in a few days. He wanted to explore this expansive realm for himself to see exactly what awaited him, and to understand just why it was that Celestials had only ever explored 10% of this entire Realm!

He now knew that to the North of the Sanctum lied the Fire Behemoths, and to the South were the Behemoths knowledgeable in the Laws of Water and Ice. He still did not gather the knowledge of all the surrounding regions, and where exactly he would have to go to come across Behemoths that were proficient in Supreme Laws, or what treasures they could be guarding.

But after seeing the types of Items he could create from the bodies of Behemoths...his heart shook as he recalled the boosts of the Incandescent Flameborn Set that he only held a single item of currently.

The Item Set was so powerful that he knew if he hunted Behemoths of the opposing element, his task would be that much more smoother from the huge boosts given by equipping all 6 Items in the Set!

So he would continue amassing his knowledge of this establishment of the Celestials in the Celestial Realm, the Sanctum, and then get a good grasp on all the surrounding explored regions as he waited for the masses of beings from the numerous Prime World to gather.

He had been extremely productive the past few days, this being attributed mostly to his clone as he had quickly managed to upgrade another skill tree to the Soul Rank, and [Lesser Cthulhu] was not too far away from getting its own upgrade as the Ancient Blood Clone continued to work hard in the Time Space of the Spiritual Land.

A world shaking aura could be felt in the wide space most of the time as the clone adopted the fearsome form of the Lesser Cthulhu and used its numerous abilities, its Skill Proficiency continuing to be raised more and more as numerous days passed in the Time Space of the Spiritual Realm. Noah looked forward to the next form of this skill tree greatly, as there were too many mysteries associated with this particular ability.

He continued moving with the Righteous Fire Exploration Team as his thoughts were occupied with many ideas, occasionally asking more questions to learn about the Celestial Realm as time progressed.

Like this, the days continued to pass as the river of fate moved forward and in a few days, tens of thousands of Interstellar Sh.i.p.s were nearing the same position near a wide Golden Door that Noah had passed through not too long ago, their eyes shining with hunger as they also sought for their own opportunities!
