Extraordinary Voyage-Chapter 868 - 745: Trouble Ahead (2)

Gently stirring the tiny specks of light in the water that reflected the Spirit Realm Sun, enjoying the refreshing coolness seeping into the body from the soles of the feet.

An hour in the outside world equates to a day and a half in the Spirit Realm. As their Extraordinary level increased, they could stay in the Spirit Realm for even longer periods. Now, staying for over a dozen days at a time was no problem.

It's already the second day since they entered the Spirit Realm.

"My dear Duke, you suggested coming to the Spirit Realm for our honeymoon. Isn't that a bit too casual for a once-in-a-lifetime event?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Turning her head to glance at her beloved husband, who was dressed only in beach shorts revealing his perfect physique, the girl teased with her words, but internally, she didn't really mind.

No matter where they were, as long as it was with the right person, every moment was a honeymoon.

Seeing Aiven deliberately put on a stern face and approach to tickle her, Olivia raised her foot to gently press on his chest, lightly scolding in disdain:

"Go away, animal retreat! Let me rest for a while, or I'll activate the [Light Spirit Circuit] and shock you, hehe..."

But Aiven grabbed her small foot and turned the tables with one swift move.

"Hehe, now that we're married, is there still a need to act aloof? Still playing hard to get? Still acting tough?"

"Haha... I was wrong, I surrender, I surrender... hahahaha..."

Splashing around and frolicking in the spring water for a while, the two emerged soaked and sat cuddled together, admiring the magnificent scene of the sunset turning the distant desert into molten gold.

The powers of the Extraordinary allowed them to witness many sights others could never see.

"Hey, Aiven, want some candy?"

"Hmm?"

Sitting curled up on Aiven's lap, snuggled in his arms, Olivia suddenly leaned in, bringing her cherry blossom-like lips to his, and slipped a sweet, orange-flavored sphere into his mouth. Ah, there was something even sweeter than fruit candy.

The girl blinked her bright, big eyes:

"Sweet?"

"Really sweet!"

The two enjoyed this sweet moment but had no plans to replicate this magical fruit tree in the outside world.

The Spirit Realm had too much knowledge and treasures, but not everything was worth replicating like [Magnetic Ore] or [Synthetic Gemstone].

No matter how long they spent together in the Spirit Realm, they'd only seen a fraction of its true nature.

Besides the honeymoon, their most important task was preparing for Olivia's next advancement.

For a Wizard of the "Gem School" to advance to a Tier 3 High-Rank Wizard, there are three main prerequisites.

The first is to add new members to the school's gemstone lineage.

Whether artificial or naturally discovered gems were acceptable, including their origin, hardness, crystal system, color, luster, and so on. It was best if they could form a new jewelry identification concept.

They were lucky enough to unexpectedly find natural glass — green meteorite — during their search for the "Gem Shell."

The second was the pioneering research achievement of "Synthetic Gemstone Technology," laying the groundwork for the school's subsequent Rune Writing. With this contribution, it's not impossible to unintentionally claim the top spot in the school.

Finally, the personal spiritual index.

Since the two could intimately connect spiritually, Aiven's "Data Visualization" could directly observe Olivia's physical data. The most critical spiritual index had now reached 4.6, very close to 5.

Moreover, with the [World's Favor] obtained after opening the "World Bridge," Olivia should meet the prerequisites for the Tier 3 Grand Wizard promotion after some more Spirit Realm hunting.

It's much faster than Angie's progress.

Despite the fact that even within this Spirit Realm, the source of all Extraordinary powers linking to various Material Worlds, not even a Tier 4 level could roam at will. The Spirit Realm was deep, and even High-Rank Spiritual Beings beyond Material World Demigods were abundant.

However, Aiven and Olivia didn't need to be as cautious as before. Unless some Extraordinary-level entanglement occurred, resulting in an "Extraordinary Gathering Effect," the huge size of this world meant encountering them was exceedingly unlikely.

Suddenly.

Aiven heard a noise and looked behind them:

"Huh? Someone's coming!"

Without hesitation, Olivia threw a colorful tourmaline.

Snap—!

With a stylish snap, the two disappeared from the oasis.

Shortly after, a group of five or six Octopus Heads drifted to the other side of the oasis, their sharp, high-pitched conversation resonating in the "ears" of the two:

"... Why go to that wretched place deep within the 'Broken Star Sea'? The chaotic rules combining with the Material World are even more bizarre than the Spirit Realm."

"The plans of the Main Gods require the 'Mundane World' and 'Extraordinary World' to advance in unison. A minor battlefield in the Lowland Republic is just a starting point. The place we're sent to is key."

"Indeed, indeed, no matter what the end goal is for the Main Gods as Ancient Gods, it must be related to reversing their currently ostracized predicament. It's one of the most urgent matters now."

Evidently, their mission was urgent. After a brief respite to collect water, they soared back into the air.

"Then our mission...."

"Collect... claws... Legendary Battleship... Nagilfa..."

After they had gone far, Aiven and Olivia reappeared.

They were merely Tier 2 small fry, and avoiding stirring the grass and alarming the snake, but their destination at the "Broken Star Sea" aroused Aiven's curiosity even more. Exchanging a glance:

"Are those Deceitful Dream Cultists up to something again?"

Now, with the "God of Black Wings" backing them, the power of the united Ancient Gods was growing stronger. These guys had once reached the rank of True God but fell back down with the changes of the Eras.

Though not as powerful as the angels under a True God, their insight, mystical knowledge, and bizarre abilities could surpass many angels.

Without a doubt, including the "God of Black Wings," these Ancient Gods and Evil Gods were undoubtedly up to something big.

Even if these Beloved had no idea of the specific reasons, Aiven was sure it wasn't merely about seizing the trend of [Capital].

Though, the trend of [Capital] was indeed astonishing and contained power beyond what most could imagine, it wasn't enough for so many Ancient Gods and Evil Gods to devote themselves so fully.

"Hesi, do you think we should follow them to the 'Broken Star Sea'..."

Suddenly.

Bang—!

A small puppet clutching a scroll jumped out in front of the two, it was Jelos's... [Regenerated Puppet]!

Reaching out to take the scroll from the puppet's hand, Aiven's brows furrowed after just a quick glance:

"It seems we have no choice but to go this time to the "Broken Star Sea," they're in trouble!"
