"When are you planning to cultivate in seclusion, Odin?" Gilbert asked when they got back to his mansion.
"If I don't have anything else to deal with, I'll probably go in the next couple of days," Rocky replied auspiciously.
"I see. Let me take care of those things for you, so you can go cultivate at ease," Gilbert offered.
Rocky smiled and nodded in appreciation, then gestured for Valeria to leave the mansion with him.
"Are we really going to cultivate in seclusion?" Valeria whispered after making sure that no one was around to hear them.
"I said that just as an excuse. I actually want to take you to the human race." Rocky smiled as he revealed to her his real intention.
"Really? We're going to the human race?" she exclaimed in disbelief.
"That's right. If you want to improve your strength in no time, cultivating in seclusion won't be enough. You must go through an adventure, and there's naturally no other better place for that than the Holy Heaven Palace. I plan to arrange a trip for you and Gloria to go there," Rocky elaborated.
"Wait. I'm going with Gloria?" The moment Valeria heard Gloria's name, her face looked petulant since they both liked Rocky. Nonetheless, knowing that Rocky had his own reasons, she didn't argue. Instead, she gently asked, "What about you, though?"
"Well, I don't need it, and there are other things I have to do." Rocky wanted to take this chance to deal with other important matters, so he did not have the time to go to the Holy Heaven Palace to cultivate with them.
"Alright, then. If you say so!"
After Valeria left, Rocky sent a Carrier Beast to inform Eunice, who was at the border, so she could relay his plan to Colton and ask him to make some arrangements.
Shortly after, Gloria came in a hurry, looking all pouty. Without further ado, she anxiously asked, "Are you really going to cultivate in seclusion with that woman?" She seemed green with envy.
"Why? Are you jealous?" Rocky was certain that Gloria would come to him as soon as she heard about it.
"Of course, I am!" She had no problem admitting that fact.
"Actually, you're going with her. It's you and Valeria who need to cultivate in seclusion," Rocky replied with a charming smile.
"Seriously? The two of us?" Gloria was stunned when she heard it.
"That's right. I'll arrange for the two of you to cultivate in seclusion in the Holy Heaven Palace," Rocky explained honestly.
"Oh, alright. Aren't you coming, too?" Gloria was having a hard time believing it. After all, this was the first time that Rocky had taken the initiative to do something for her.
"Well, I don't need it. Right now, you have to focus on improving your strength as soon as possible," Rocky added.
"Alright! Thank you. When are we going there?" Gloria asked cheerfully.
"Tomorrow. Tell Princess Layla about it when you get back, but skip the part about going to the human race." Rocky made sure to remind her.
"Understood!" Gloria nodded and happily went on her way.
After seeing Gloria leave, Rocky went to find Vivian. He needed to ask for her help for what he needed to do next.
"Would you like to go to the spiritual race with me, Vivian?" The second Rocky found her, he didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
"The spiritual race? For what?" Vivian asked as she glanced at Rocky with a puzzled face.
"We'll go on an adventure!" Rocky grinned.
"That's it? Boring!" Vivian couldn't help but roll her eyes at Rocky.
"I'm serious! I was planning to go there alone, but it's pretty dangerous where I'm going. That's why I asked if you'd want to come with me," Rocky explained.
"Where are we going, then?"
"We're going to the Ethereal Valley of the spiritual race!" Rocky added, trying to sound more convincing.
"The Ethereal Valley? Are you kidding? That's the sacred place of the spiritual race!" When Vivian heard where they were going, she was shocked. It was said that the Ethereal Valley was the birthplace of the spiritual race, so it was regarded as their sacred place.
"That's exactly why I want you to come with me!" Rocky stressed.
"I guess I would have to go." Vivian sighed, knowing she could not refuse.
