Alone

After everything that had happened in the Lioness Kingdom, Emery let the Lioness group, the surviving 20 knights and the princess, stay in his estate.

Not wanting to make things more awkward than it already was, after the Lioness King's funeral ceremony, he decided to immediately leave and give the matters to Luna.

He returned to the Forbidden Forest to continue on with his training. 

Emery swiftly went to his usual spot inside the forest, and casted [Nature Grasp] as he went deep into his cultivation training.

As his mind dove into his body as usual, Emery directed the energy of Gaia that his body absorbed from the surroundings and channeled it into the seed sitting silently beside his dark core.

Just like what he had always experienced, Emery felt a refreshing sensation throughout his body. However, after several days of continuous cultivation,  nothing had changed for him.
