Chapter 951: 951. Fire
Noah and the others regrouped with the injured assets to summarize the situation. The sudden appearance of the blue dome had startled the heroic cultivators that had remained behind, but its properties surprised them even more.
The dome had cut off the invaders from the core regions of the Empire, taking away any advantage that the Hive had gained by exposing the properties of Elder Julia's individuality. It was up to the leaders of the armies now to seal a deal that could benefit their organizations.
As for the other assets, they settled in the regions on the other side of the defensive walls. After all, the districts already featured many habitations that they could use. There was no point in building a poor encampment with so many buildings available.
Still, they decided to take control of the districts near the defensive walls to avoid affecting the negotiations. That matter was quite tricky due to the outcome of the war. The invaders had won, but the Empire had put them in a position where they couldn't advance any further.
Noah could guess that Elder Julia and the other leaders would have a hard time negotiating the terms of the Empire's surrender. Yet, there was a high chance that the powerhouses would settle everything privately, so the solid stage cultivators there would act only as messengers.
The wounded cultivators started to treat their injuries while they waited to hear the results of the negotiations. Others even organized events to celebrate the end of the war and discuss their achievements in battle.
After the leaders returned from the blue dome, the atmosphere among the three factions would become tense again. The war had only delayed the various investigations that concerned the ambush at the exit of the Odrea nation, but no one had forgotten about it.
Once the Empire went out of the political scene, the Hive, the Council, and the Elbas family would have to face the issues accumulated during their period as allies.
There was bound to be a period of peace after the end of the war, but that truce would be frail, ready to fall apart at the first sign of conflict.
Noah didn't care about the incoming political struggles. The fact that the Chasing Demon sect and the Elbas family seemed to have a secret alliance bothered him from time to time. Yet, he couldn't do anything to affect the situation, mainly if his power remained in that state.
He had realized something on the battlefield. His battle prowess was already stepping outside the limits of the liquid stage, even when he didn't use the most potent weapon in his arsenal.
The power that he was capable of expressing due to his many assets was unheard of. The fact that he was the creator of those weapons and abilities made his achievement even more incredible.
Noah had understood that his individuality hid an endless potential. His greater drive was his boundless ambition in the end. It didn't surprise him that his existence wouldn't put limits on his abilities.
However, there was a lot of work to do to express all his potential. Only his higher energy would require countless experiments to see how far it could go. As for the school that fused martial arts and spells, Noah was working on it while he waited for the return of the leaders.
He didn't feel like celebrating. In his opinion, he had met a barrier that he couldn't piece, and he had only his power to blame.
The more he climbed the ranks of the cultivation journey, the more he was forced to face monsters that had lived for centuries and millennia more than him. The simple exploration of the Empire had made him encounter divine items and the will of a god!
