Chapter 3557 Point Ahhhhh… My screams echoed through the hall as the soul-binding pain filled me. It is extreme, but I bore it. There is no other choice; the pain may be extreme, but also provides great benefits. I don't know, how long it had passed before. Finally, the pain subsided, and I let go of everything. The forbidden strengthening is extremely painful, but it provides the benefits just as great. Much better than the other strengthening. I woke up five and a half hours later. All the fatigue I had felt after the strengthening vanished and now, I feel like I could do anything. I shook my head at thought and got up, before taking my smelly body into the shower. Fifteen minutes later, I got out of it and changed into the new clothes. The sumptuous breakfast appeared in front of me, as I sat down before eating it whole. There was barely anything that had remained when I was finished. My clone knows me well and cooked only enough that I could eat. I finished eating the breakfast, and I stepped out of the abode. It is still dark, but the sun has started to come out. I looked at the map and began my journey. I am pretty close to the point; I should be able to reach there by late morning or the afternoon. A few minutes passed and all the darkness disappeared; giving me a clear view of the forest and ruins I came across now and then. There used to be a city here, but now all it had remained was a ruin. There is not a single-standing building. Everything collapsed into rubble, and not even the formations had remained. Things needed constant maintenance. With good materials, they might be centuries and a few thousand years, but after that, it is very hard to not turn into ruins. Especially when the realms go through the tides. Barely anything survives through them. A few hours passed, and I noticed a couple of natives; looking in the direction, it was clear they were two going toward the meeting point; only one person was going opposite it. I am glad he is doing that because, with his power of Initial Earth-Sovereign, he would be among the weakest; the Grimms would eat him alive the moment they got the chance. Since I had started, I didn't have any Grimms, which is not strange. The Grimms had been warned not to travel this route, and they were not an idiot. Since our meeting point is here, many natives are going to travel here and even the most idiotic Grimm, would think twice, looking to hunt in this area. Seeing that, I increased my speed further and an hour later, nearly removed the stealth method. It is useless with the speed, I am moving. One hour and thirty-seven minutes later, I had reached close to it. That I could sense the aura of Sky Sovereign enveloping it. Sensing that, I had increased my speed even further and also began to check everything. I am also wearing my real skin. There is going to be the verification and I don't want to reveal the other skin. It is better. I go with my realm body and change it back later. Eighteen minutes later, I reached a compound made of thick walls and inside our abode. There are two more days before we leave for the Oryg valley. The information didn't say it explicitly, but it is time, till the point is open. Soon, I reached the gate at point three written in it with big red letters and there were four people standing there. Including one from Tor, who came with me. "Welcome to the point, camp," said the man as he finished the verification and exchange of information. He had specifically asked me, if I killed any Grimm on the way, and I lied. He knows it; I know it, but he noted the answer I gave him. "Thank you," I said as I entered inside. Hun! As I entered inside, I found that there were more abodes than I had thought. Around one hundred and twenty-seven of them, and I am sure there are more people than that. Everyone I am looking at is an Earth Sovereign, with abodes of four Sky Sovereigns in the middle. I only glanced at them for a second before walking toward the small market. Most of the people gathered there, buying and selling various things; I wanted bye few things too. Especially those that made my core active. I entered the small market and started buying things. I got what I wanted, most of the things they wanted, I had, and if I didn't; I interested them with something they would want. There are a lot of resources in my core, not only those I have gotten from others, but also the ones I grew. I stayed in the small market for nearly two hours before I walked away. Soon, I stopped in front of the empty space and took out an abode. The one in my hand is a black brick with an elaborate design on it. I threw the block and soon; it began to expand and, within a second, transformed into a square black house. Click! I opened the door and entered inside. As I did, I appeared on the porch. I used my abode. I mean, why would use anything else? When I have such a wonderful abode, that I had forged using all those rare resources. The first thing, I did was to eat the dinner and once I satiated my stomach; I sat down and looked at the information they had provided. They have provided some information about Oryg valley, but it is scant. They clearly know far more about it but are quite stingy. I would see if any Earth Sovereign had some information about it. I will try to buy it; the more prepared I am about the place, the greater my chances of my survival will be.
