Reveal

Everyone watched with shock as a huge portal appeared in front of them.

Brian without any hesitation walked into the vortex. Others also came back to their senses quickly. They followed inside the Vortex.

Luis stood back, watching as they disappeared one by one. He couldn't help but notice how similar Brian was to Devon—both were determined, always the first to charge forward.

Arthur and the others are on the other side, waiting to receive the new members.

After everyone entered the vortex, Luis turned around and looked at Liam, who had been ignored previously.

Luis raised his eyebrows in surprise. There was no shock, no disbelief, nothing on Liam's face. Liam had an expressionless face as he looked at the empty ground.

'Even if the world were ending, this man would remain expressionless,' Luis was amused as he looked at Liam.

"Don't you have any questions?"

"No, young master. It is your secret, and I respect your privacy," Liam replied sincerely.

"Don't you really want to know? If you don't want to, then I won't show you." Luis smirked secretly as he asked again.

Liam still had an unreadable face; however, this was all fake. When he encounters unexpected things, his face freezes and his brain begins to work quickly. This situation was beyond his understanding, and his brain was working quickly. It seems the young master has a great secret, much greater than he previously thought.

"I want to know, young master," Liam finally admitted, his voice sincere.

"For this to be known, you need to show your loyalty." Luis smile widened.

Without any hesitation, Liam kneeled down and started reciting his oath.

"..."

As soon as the oath was completed. Luis felt yet another connection.

'Great, now I even have a 2nd stage official knight at my disposal in Cultivation World.'

Liam, after reciting the oath, saw the huge portal in the distance, a little away from Luis. Even though Liam's face was still expressionless, his hand trembled slightly seeing this sight.

"You truly can hide your emotions well," Luis said, chuckling. "Go on. Step inside, and you'll find your answers."

Liam didn't wait any longer and entered inside with hurried foot steps. The training ground was now empty.

Luis peeked at Pipi, who was sleeping inside his body. She has really been tired these days taking care of the plants and magic plants. She deserves this rest.

With everything in order, Luis stepped into the vortex himself.

Cultivation World

The Sirius Gang was buzzing with activity. The ground trembled under the weight of Knights disciplined training. Their faces were full of determination, with bodies drenched in sweat.

They were the followers of Luis who traveled to this world, training both the martial arts and breathing method continuously.

It has already been one day since they traveled to this world. They became familiar with this world after everything was told by Arthur. 

After training for a whole day, 14 among the 41 have already awakened their life seed. The others were also close to awakening. They would reach that step in the next few days.

Liam stood on the sidelines, watching the others train.

He is already a 2nd level knight and could throw the aura out of his body to attack. He started practicing turtle martial arts yesterday. He quickly mastered it, and new qi from the blood was produced in his body.

The result? A new form of energy swirled inside him, a combination of Qi and Aura that Luis had dubbed "Vortex Qi."

Liam tested his strength; it was astounding. He was nearly twice as strong. The vortex Qi in his body was also very abundant, much more than Aura alone.

Luis sat inside a room with Arthur and Xiao Wei, discussing the current situation in the town.

"Boss, Bako Gang is causing trouble." Arthur said angrily, "Out of the eight strongholds we took, they've captured three. We didn't retaliate because you instructed us to wait."

Luis narrowed his eyes, deep in thought. He could see that Arthur was itching for action.

'It seems training for the new guys is already arranged.

"Send the new recruits to destroy the Bako Gang," Luis finally said, his tone calm but resolute. "Tell Liam to secretly follow them and make sure there are no casualties."

"Don't worry, boss, fourteen of them have already awakened their life seed. There will be no danger."

Arthur nodded excitedly and walked outside to organize the hunt.

Now in the room, Luis and Xiao Wei remained. Xiao Wei lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Luis.

"What's your decision?" Luis asked, his voice low but commanding.

"Boss, I will follow you. I will do anything you say." Xiao Wei said, quickly peeking at Luis from the corner of his eye.

'Does the oath of God of contract work on different worlds?' With this thought, he decided to test it.

He wrote the oath on paper and gave it to Xiao Wei. 

"Recite it with your heart. Like you mean it, if your heart is not dedicated enough, it won't work."

Xiao Wei nodded and started speaking the words that were written in the paper sincerely.

"....."

Luis waited for any kind of reaction, but there was nothing. No reaction was produced from the oath. There was no sign of the oath taking effect.

'It doesn't work in this world,' Luis thought, frowning. 'I need another solution.'

'This cultivation world... immortals... heaven... heavenly Dao... yes, Heavenly tribulation,' Luis thought of the real big boss of Cultivation World.

Luis quickly wrote the oath to heavens and gave it to Xiao Wei to recite.

When Xiao Wei saw what was written in the paper, his eyes involuntary widened for a short moment. He quickly regained his composure.

"I, Xiao Wei, solemnly swear before the heavens that I will follow Luis Hartmann with unwavering loyalty. Should I ever betray this vow, may the heavens strike me down with heart demons and unleash the fury of the Heavenly Tribulation upon my soul."

As soon as he finished, a small, white cloud emerged from Xiao Wei's body, floating upward as if trying to escape. But before it could disappear, it was pulled into the vortex. After it was tied with the vortex, he felt a connection with Xiao Wei.

'Heaven is indeed the big boss of Cultivation World. Luis opened the vortex and looked at Xiao Wei.

"You go inside and return quickly."

Xiao Wei, still shaken, stepped through the portal. A few seconds later, he re-emerged, his face a mixture of shock and awe.
