Departure

The morning sunlight warms the room. Brax opens his eyes as he feels himself being pleasured. He looks down and sees Anna busy servicing him.

Noticing Brax has woken up, Anna stops and greets him good morning.

Anna's forwardness presently surprised Brax. 'Looks like the night has brought some changes into her,' Brax thought.

"You should continue," Brax says. Anna nods and continues servicing Brax.

Once he is done, he asks her to stop.

"I thought Master would like it if I do this every morning," Anna says looking deeply into Brax's eyes.

"I liked it," Brax says. He doesn't mind Anna waking him up in such a manner. "Go get ready, we will be leaving soon," Brax orders her as he plans to go to Greedwound City after leaving Whiteworro village.

Brax watches Anna leave naked before bringing his attention back to his own body. '10th stage of Qi condensation realm,' Brax thinks as he feels his body brimming with overwhelming strength.

'I should be able to break through to the next realm' Brax realizes as he finds the door to the next realm about to burst open just from the sheer amount of Qi stored inside his body.

Now he needs to build a foundation so that his body can evolve and take the next step. It is in its name, the Core creation realm.

He can create a core within his body by building a strong foundation. Humans don't have a core, it's common knowledge to him, but in this world humans can create a core inside their body, completely changing their biology.

Brax is very interested in this process, so he will not take risks by fast-forwarding his progress.

He can break through right now and enter the Foundation establishment realm, but before doing that, he wants to understand everything that needs to be understood about this next step in his growth.

And he is in no hurry. With his current strength, he could have easily dealt with that middle-aged man with sheer speed and strength. He doubts he will find anything that can endanger his life now in this town and the surrounding cities.

It is not just him who has been empowered; Anna, too, has gained significant strength from their dual cultivation. She is now in the seventh stage of the Qi condensation realm.

Such massive improvement in cultivation at the very beginning is completely unheard of. However, due to Brax's cultivation method, his thick and dense Qi combined with a perfect infusion of Dual Cultivation did wonders for Anna's cultivation.

With Brax's guidance, Anna's body assimilated with his Qi completely, giving her an almost similar makeup to his cultivation method. Every cell in her body is charged up similar to Brax's.

Ultimately, the Qi in her body is from Brax's body.

'Now that she shares the same Qi as me, her strength should be similar to mine when compared to the same stage and realm. In fact, she might be even stronger as her cultivation talent is much higher than mine,' Brax concludes from what he observed by dual cultivating with Anna.

'But her strength will be limited to mine,' Brax thinks. With dual cultivation, the weaker partner will never surpass the stronger partner in terms of cultivation level. If the stronger partner becomes stagnant in their cultivation, the weaker partner will suffer from the same fate even if they haven't reached their limit. So it is very important to choose a dual cultivation partner with high potential.

Luckily for Anna, Brax doesn't need potential. If he doesn't have the potential, he will carve out his own path.

'This all worked out well in my favor,' Brax thinks, with a strong follower like Anna by his side. His power has now increased several fold, even if it isn't his own personal strength. Anna has signed off her life to him. Her strength is his to use.

'Now all I need to do is teach her some martial techniques so that she can fight for herself,' Brax ponders.

Anna comes out of the bathroom and begins dressing up. Seeing this he too gets up and enters the bathroom to clean himself up.

Done with bathing, he walks out of the bathroom to find Anna all dressed up and looking pretty for him, waiting patiently for his arrival.

She then helps him dry and dress up as they get ready to leave.

Once they are ready, they exit the Farco estate. Outside the estate, the villagers are patiently waiting for Brax.

By now, everyone in the village seems to be aware of his departure.

The village chief, who is standing before everyone, steps up to address Brax.

"Oh great lord, we all have come to bid you farewell," the village chief says and bows his head. Following him, the rest of the villagers do the same as well.

Brax is still getting used to reverence like this. Even in his old world, he was not treated as such. This just shows the disparity between cultivators and mortals in this world.

"Raise your heads," Brax orders. "Lord immortal, your cart is ready. Our best woodworkers spent all day and night preparing this for you," the village chief says, pointing at a horse carriage.

The carriage looks nice, and it is evident that a lot of work has gone into it. "All the items you have asked for have already been placed inside," the village chief adds.

"Good work... Let's go," Brax says to Anna and enters the carriage. Anna takes the reins and begins their departure.

The villagers follow the carriage all the way to the village exit, children run in front of the carriage to get a glimpse of Brax, wave their hands, and cheer for him. Many villagers also pray for his glory as he is their savior.

As Brax watches all these scenes unfold in front of him, he can't help but get overwhelmed by it. His own selfish actions seem to hold so much meaning to these mortals as they brought justice to these villagers.

This has never happened before. Not when he cured all known diseases, not when he invented new elements, not when he figured out space travel. Sure, he got praise, but that was it.

This thing happening right now in front of him is of pure reverence and respect for him.

'Maybe the people from my old world got too used to things happening,' Brax thought, and he was not wrong. His old world became too progressive. Everybody expected great scientific achievements. If it was not him, someone else would have figured it out. Sure, it would have taken them longer, but in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter.

Compared to the people of his previous world, these people are much more simple and they appreciate any good gesture towards him far greater.

Brax is a savior to them. In their eyes, he deserves all their respect and reverence.

'Well, no point in thinking too much about the past or these people, the likelihood of me coming back here is slim to none,' Brax controls his emotions and watches the village exit slowly shrink as they move further away from the Whiteworro village.
