After Leon mentioned the ck-purplish glowing flowers, Aria and Darlene nced down at them.


    "What kind of flowers are they?" Aria asked.


    "These flowers are called Violet Soul Flowers, and they''re all at Tier-5 quality to boot; they have the effect of nurturing damaged souls and can be refined into pills for a stronger effect."


    Leon exined the Violet Soul Flower''s properties ording to what he found recorded in the [Archive].


    "Oh? Does that mean Big Brother knows how to refine the pills and help my mother recover?" Luna ran in front of Leon and looked at him with her big puppy eyes.


    "I''m afraid I will have to disappoint you, Luna." Leon shook his head helplessly and said, "Tier-5 Violet Soul Flowers are good spirit herbs for soul recovery."


    "However, your mother''s realm is too high. Tier-5 Violet Soul Flowers will have little-to-no effect on her even if they are refined into pills. We are most like going to need Tier-8 Violet Soul Flowers at the very least to cure your mother."


    "Oh…" Luna uttered as her bright eyes dulled with disappointment.


    Nevertheless, he had expected such a reaction; telling her the hard truth was better than giving false hope—only to crush it more mercilessly.


    "We should leave and not disturb the Demon Empress''s resting spot," Leon said with a soft sigh before adding, "We''ll head to the south floating ind next."


    "Mm," Aria and Darlene agreed.


    Shortly after, Leon gathered the dark faes before leaving the vicinity of the central ind despite the dark faes'' strong reluctance.


    "Don''t worry. There will be more opportunities for all of you to cultivate on the central ind," Leon promised before giving Darlene a nce.


    She immediately understood and used Dark Passage to quickly move everyone to the south floating ind.


    Upon their arrival, Leon quickly inspected the support-circuit building.


    "There''s no Celestial Power sealing the entrance; it looks like this might be another bust," Leonmented.


    That being said, he intended to thoroughly search the floating ind before moving on to their next target.


    ''Master, you can always ask me anything about the entire Radiant Heaven Realmship; my consciousness covers this entire space and understands everything going on," Tak-si materialized before informing Leon of its assistance.


    Leon threw it a casual nce before saying, "And you expect me to trust you after you hid things from me until it was toote?"


    "I''m sorry, Master." Tak-si lowered his head guiltily.


    However, Luna quickly took over before she spat, "Don''t bully Grandpa Spirit! Grandpa Spirit was only following my wishes! If you want to me someone, me me!"


    "You''re speaking too seriously," Leon gave Luna a casual flick on the forehead, which inflicted no damage whatsoever to her spiritual form. "Is there anything on south and east ind, Tak-si?"


    "None, Master."


    Tak-si restored his appearance before obediently answering Leon''s question, "Only the north and central inds had something. The south and east inds were practically untouched during the war."


    "I see," Leon rubbed his chin in thought.


    After ncing at the dark faes for a moment, he asked, "How many members of the Dark Fae n are in this southern region?"


    "There are currently 76 members of the Dark Fae n in this region, Master. Of the 76 members, 62 members are in Bone Sea''s outer region, while the remaining 14 members are currently trapped within a Demon Lord-level Tomb."


    "A Demon Lord-level Tomb, huh?" Leon muttered thoughtfully before asking, "Where is it?"


    "In the cksand Desert, roughly 20 miles further southwest on the surface from here, Master. They were swallowed by quicksand and stumbled on the Demon Lord-level Tomb by chance. But with no strength to challenge nor leave, they couldn''t go anywhere," Tak-si informed.


    "I got it," Leon nodded and waved at the realm spirit, "You can leave for now."


    "Understood, Master." Tak-siplied.


    Shortly after the realm spirit''s spiritual form dispersed back into the background, Saresha quickly made her way over with some dark faes.


    "My Lord, there''s nothing of value on this floating ind," she reported.


    "I already know, but good job," Leon praised them nheless.


    "Shall we proceed to the next floating ind?" Saresha asked.


    However, Leon shook his head, "No, we will be descending to speedrun a Demon Lord-level Tomb and save some members of your n in the process."


    ''People can speedrun Demon Lord-level Tombs? Perhaps, only the noble lord can say something like that,'' Saresha silently thought.


    At the same time, she was also surprised by Leon''s words alongside her n members.


    "Are my n members in danger, my Lord?" she quickly asked.


    "Not for the time being, but there''s no telling if they start acting rashly after being trapped in the Demon Lord-level Tomb for so long," Leon stated before giving her an order, "Gather everyone. We will shortly."


    "Yes, my Lord!"


    …


    Sometimeter, Leon brought Aria, Darlene, and the dark faes to the deste region filled with ck sand.


    The ground was soft andcked stability, making it difficult for everyone to trek without losing bnce.


    And with each step they took, mounds of ck sand shifted, causing a great disturbance in the area.


    "It''ll be hard not to notice other people around if the ck sand moves like this with every step we take," Leonmented while ncing down at the rolling ck sand.


    Suddenly, arge pile of ck sand erupted a few dozen yards away, sting in the sky before everyone spotted the giant figure of a ck worm—no, a dark wyrm.


    "And it appears that humans and demons are not the only beings in this desert," Leon added with a calm look.


    However, the dark faes grew nervous and uneasy.


    The dark wyrm''srge frame made the dark faes feel minuscule inparison, and it had the strength of a Peak-stage Greater Demon.


    "My Lord, the dark wyrm looks hungry, and it''s staring at us…!" a dark fae spoke.


    Shortly after the dark wyrm locked onto Leon''s group, it immediately lunged at them with its gaping jaws wide open, ready to feast on them.


    ''Master, the dark wyrms are actually quite timid creatures; if you summon your higher-quality dark power, it''ll quickly be obedient in front of you!''


    Just as Leon was about to retaliate, Tak-si quickly informed him.
