"Well, not exactly. Currently, he's the owner of the Ninth Precipitous Mountain. Because of his presence, no one dares to offend the Ninth Precipitous Mountain, including the government of the Tussle Region," Murphy elaborated.
"He's that powerful and influential? Then, he must be a cultivator of the Superior God Realm." Darren was thrilled and got more curious at the same time.
"I'm not sure about that. Actually, there is so little information about him," Murphy replied while shrugging his shoulders.
"Hmm. If I can get a chance, I think I'd like to go to the Ninth Precipitous Mountain and visit this man," Darren said with eagerness.
"Forget it. He never agreed to meet with just anyone, unless he's interested in that person. Furthermore, I strongly suggest that in the following days, you should just stay at home. I will spread the news that you've been out, and all you need to do is hide and cultivate in seclusion. You need to bolster your strength further," Murphy urged.
"Okay, I get it. I'll go ahead and catch up with my friends," Darren understood the current situation and quickly agreed.
Murphy was relieved that Darren was willing to cooperate and said, "All right. I'll contact you if anything new happens."
Darren just nodded and eventually went out of the room.
Currently, his friends were settling in a separate courtyard within the sect.
"Darren! You finally showed up! What were you doing these past few days?" Finley quickly rushed towards him as soon as he saw him approaching.
"Where have you been? You just disappeared and didn't even tell us where you were going and when you would come back!" Lindsay also shouted while knitting her eyebrows. Although this still didn't affect her breath-taking beauty.
"Don't overreact. I was just gone for a while to heal my wounds. By the way, how's your cultivation going? Did you make sufficient progress?" Darren tried to dodge their questioning by changing the topic.
"Well, it's fine. It's not like you've been gone for too long. How can we make such huge progress within such a short amount of time?" Finley answered in a dubious and boisterous manner.
"Don't try to fool me, you lazy idiot. Your cultivation level was much higher than mine when we were still in the Lothlann Continent. Look at what happened now. You're far behind me! When will you start taking this seriously?" Darren rolled his eyes, knowing that he still had this complacent attitude.
"Hey! It's not entirely my fault. I do have an exceptional talent, but you know that some unknown force is suppressing me in the Primitive Wilderness. It's hard to make any progress in here." Finley explained his case.
"Excuses! You're a sore loser. I won't even accept you as my servant even if you beg me!" Lindsay stared at Finley with disdainful eyes.
"Fine. You're much better than me. I'm not competing with you anyway." Finley just accepted Lindsay's insults openly.
"Argh! I can't even stand looking at you!" Lindsay's face reddened as she fumed in anger.
"Why are you so mad? I'm still good-looking and also got a powerful real body. Why can't you be nicer to me?" Finley asked with pouted lips.
"Stay away from me! I hate pathetic losers like you the most!" Lindsay retorted.
