Translator: 549690339

Even with one or two Epics and dozens of Excellences under his belt, Great Lord Shepherd would never forget his own cultivation.

In the following days, he quietly passed the time immersed in his plain yet fulfilling cultivation.

Boom

Outside the borders of Tianyuan territory, a monster that dared to venture a few kilometers away from the territory was seized by a large blue bird. The bird’s piercing claws thrust into its shoulder blade, hoisting it into the sky before dropping it heavily onto the ground. As a coup de grace the monster endured several strikes of blue Blade of Wind.

In an eyeblink the monster was transformed into today’s meal for the feast of the Tianyuan.

“Duo Lai said many times, dropping them like this will greatly affect the meat quality, coo coo ~!”

Apart from lone wandering monsters, occasionally, scattered creatures would group together, forming an invasion of a few hundred, a thousand or even over two thousand monsters against the Tianyuan territory.

Such invasions are part of the daily routine of a Lord.

Even outside the Red Moon period, monsters occasionally form a small wave and swarm in. If a Lord is careless, his territory might not be breached, but he would suffer a considerable loss.

In the Baijiang Group, there was a newly-appointed Lord in tears. A swarm of Goblins has stormed his estate and reached his doorstep. Over a dozen civilians have perished, and countless others have been injured. He’s currently in a panic buying all kinds of healing supplies. It’s said that the morale of the people in his territory has significantly declined.

The monster surge that Tianyuan territory encountered had a larger scale. During peaceful times, the largest Monster Tide exceeded two thousand and was comprised of over ten professional-level large monsters.

That was no less impactful than the final incursion during the Novice Trial.

Of course, under the round-the-clock surveillance of the Storm Falcon Squad of Tianyuan territory, incoming Monster Tides have always been detected while they are still far away from the territory. And thanks to the increasing number of Storm Falcons awakening their consciousness and becoming smarter, Great Lord Shepherd no longer needs to micromanage them.

These Falcons have matured, and they now know how to patrol, forage, fight monsters, bring back spoils, and report any unusual situation on their own.

When necessary, Mu Yuan would pick up the mental thread that maintains the bare minimum link and connect to a Falcon’s vision to inspect the situation.

That massive Monster Tide attack, for instance, was eliminated by the Undead Legion while it was still miles away from the territory.

Afterwards, General Dead Bone traced the path of the incoming Monster Tide and found a deeply hidden Monster Tribe. After a round of strategy and combat – primarily against itself – the Undead Legion swept through this tribe, only slightly tougher than the Snake man tribe, without encountering any crisis or running into descending servants.

After celebrating the victory, General Dead Bone was slightly disappointed.

Great Lord Shepherd remained inside his territory throughout. Asides from the occasional inspections to ensure the situation was under control, he didn’t need to do much.

He continued his cultivation, training, and occasionally helping his subordinates to evolve, granting them the radiance of Baptism. This included a general who was preparing to evolve discreetly and stun the world.

He spent most of his time not in the luxurious and comfortable City Lord’s Mansion, but in the barren and frigid training field.

Fighting! Constant fighting!

He frequently invited Rakshasa, Lu Liu, or Hong Yi, Seventeen to spar. His progress was formidable.

“Chop???? ”

Mu Yuan wielded a war saber and launched a heavy down chop with the force of a Cleave. At this time, he wasn’t using any templates and remained in an unenhanced Lord state.

‘Skills: Cleave, Thrust, Charge, Tear,…’

After a period of cultivation and the borrowing of templates, he naturally mastered these skills.

The Lord’s Power played a significant role in this, but…………..

“It’s mainly because I’m too talented. Even the Festival categories clearly pointed that out.”

Mr. Mu said so.

Of course, high-level, high-grade troops could also learn these skills through efforts. For instance, ‘Bone Two’ has learned Charge. General Dead Bone naturally could learn more, but he seldom specifically studied these basic skills since there was no need to do so.

It already has a plethora of high-level and top-tier skills that are hard to acquire and learn.

It only needs deep understanding, further development, occasional improvement, modification, and upgrade.

Time gradually passed, and the festival atmosphere grew stronger.

Finally,

“Dong—”

The melodious bell ringing spread afar, and ripples spread around the golden gate of the Secret Realm, reminding everyone that the Lord’s Festival has arrived.

Even those who aren’t newly appointed Lords and don’t have a ticket to the festival could hear the resonating bell ringing across the world.

“Another day of the Heroes’ Festival.”

In the Alliance Capital City, two elderly men were playing chess under an ancient and robust tree.

One of them had a pipe in his hand, the curling smoke from which seemed to make the surroundings feel ethereal.

The other man had white eyebrows and a white beard, with sharp eyes and a sprightful appearance. However, he couldn’t help but scratch his head and cheek when he looked at the chessboard.

He then picked up the conversation, “A’Feng mentioned that this batch of newcomers isn’t showing promise?”

“Indeed they’re rather mediocre.” The pipe-smoking elder said, “Both the previous batch, where Little Han Yue outshone everyone else, and the one before that had very commendable performances from Liushi. However, this batch… our Tai Xuan isn’t competitive in recruiting top-tier heroes. Even though Wuji has decent martial arts skills, unfortunately, he is overly specialized.”

The elder sighed. He exhaled a couple of smoke rings, then added, “It’s not like there are no promising youngsters. This year, a few of the lads that just passed the trial show considerable potential. Tianyuan, Da Ri, Wangba, and others. Han Yue seems to think very highly of Tianyuan, stressing that he’s her pick.” “If only these youngsters were chosen to be Lords a few batches earlier. We wouldn’t be so worried over who to choose in our competition with countries like Shen Yao and Yongxing in the future.”

At this point, the old man picked up a red chess piece and gently placed it on the board.

“Checkmate.”

“Che-, checkmate what?”

The old man with white eyebrows on the opposite side froze, then his face changed dramatically, realizing six facial changes in just two seconds, looking extremely grave, “Old friend, I forgot to turn off my space pot at home, and it’s very urgent. I have to go first. We’ll spar again next time we meet.”

Before his voice had fully faded, his whole being gradually dimmed, turning into countless dust-like particles that dispersed between heaven and earth, leaving only his lingering words echoing around.

At the same time, the chess piece marked “General” that was surrounded by a large army also disappeared.

“The time has come, we can set off.

“Dead Bone, aren’t you going?”

Dead Bone shook its head. For it, spending this time at the Festival Grounds eating and drinking was not as good as spending it on training to become stronger.

It had plans to further improve more than a dozen skills.

Furthermore, both the Lord and Duo Lai had left, and someone needed to be constantly guarding the territory.

As for Duo Lai’s eager anticipation to go and eat, it had no complaints or feelings of frustration. It would take on the burden of the territory, while the other brothers and sisters could go and have fun.

Festival Grounds,

The big red lanterns hung high and swayed in the wind.

With the official start of the festival, the entire Secret Realm was already bustling, with lords stepping in from the outside, and the figures of some foreigners often visible.

Moreover, some of the buildings and areas within the Festival Grounds had already been contracted by Whales in the capacity of’ sponsors’, providing a variety of food and beverage services.

Of course, it was all free.

What these whales were hoping for? Naturally, it was an opportunity to make their territories famous and brush up their presence and favorability in front of these potential recruits.

Some sponsors also displayed the names of ‘Red Lotus Group’, ‘Medicine God Group’, ‘White Shark Group’ and other large groups. These were probably tasks of the rich backers, also providing unlimited gourmet food. The quality of the food and drinks was not low, most of them were rare-level beverages and food. “So, that’s how the unlimited food supply on the festival day is arranged?”

Duo Lai’s big eyes were already shining with impatient light.

It looked at the Lord and saw Mu Yuan nodding, “Go on, enjoy your day, consider this as your day off.”

“Guluhi—I”

Duo Lai suddenly shot off and disappeared into the crowd in a blink of an eye.

Only then did Mu Yuan adjust his black armor and walk forward unhurriedly. The Festival day would last until midnight, and the last few hours were the competition peak hours. Before that, he should enjoy the festive atmosphere a bit.

After some thought, he decided to change his pendant to ‘Duo Lai Template’.

No other reason, in the full-body armor of Fearless General Lu Liu, how could he enjoy freely? It would be better to slightly alter his shape and facial features using Duo Lai’s power and then put on a set of black armor.

Half a moment later,

Mr. Mu stepped back into the Festival Grounds, holding a rare-level drink called ‘ Ice Heart Snow Lotus’, blissfully strolling within this quaint yet bustling Secret Realm.

Most of the lords he saw were brimming with excitement, anticipation, and enthusiasm.

After all, even for trivial Lords, there is still the opportunity to recruit heroes and make a leap forward. Who wouldn’t be excited? Even if they can’t recruit heroes, eating and drinking here would make the trip worthwhile.

“Bro, over here.”

In front of an unlimited beverage supply area sponsored by Huan Chao Territory, Liu Miumiu was waving at him.

Looking around, there were a few other familiar faces.

Jiang Luoxing, Lord Da Ri, Lord Yanyu Yu Siyu, etc. After all, they were all new Lords and ranked highly, naturally forming a small circle to counter the pressure from old lords.

However, the main point was…

Signs of’Luo Xing Territory’, ‘Da Ri Territory’, ‘Yanyu Territory’, ‘Wangba Territory’ and others were hung around the supply area.

Looking around, how come everyone sponsored a large amount of supplies, and only I was freeloading?

Cough,cough-

Mu Yuan sat down without showing any change in expression.

We are regular players, and we are proud-!

“They’re here, the heroes are out.”

Not long after he sat down, there were excited shouts from afar.

Mu Yuan looked up, and at a distance, the grand ancient doors of the hall towering atop a mountain finally opened at this moment. One after another, shadows walked out from the hall, taking the long stone steps slowly or quickly down.

It was like walking out on a red carpet.

They were dressed differently.

Some heroes wore silver armor, looking incredibly magnificent, like mighty generals on the battlefield;

Some heroes wore luxurious robes, with several gemstone accessories on their fingers, maintaining the elegance and arrogance of a grand noble;

Others carried decayed wooden coffins; some heroes wore one-eyed eyepatches; others were carried forward step by step in a sedan chair by puppets;

All of these people had common features, looking extraordinary and exuding a powerful aura.

In the Eternal World, lords indeed held noble positions, at the very least belonging to the middle and upper classes. However, here and now, the heroes emerging from within the hall, they were the center of attention, attracting countless hopeful gazes.

They, have arrived!
