The Wizard Path From The Simulator

Chapter 545: Chapter 299 “Mid-stage Golden Core” and “A Storm is Brewing” (Seeking Subscriptions)_2

Henry Cheney also spoke with a tone of confusion.

He had originally thought that the remnants of the Sword Sect had learned of Milton Cheney’s Heavenly Spiritual Root talent, and thus had come to form a friendly relationship.

But at the succession ceremony, that steward did not say a word.

As soon as the ceremony was over, he left immediately.

Afterward, Henry also summoned the senior members of the family to inquire, but none of them had ever seen this so-called steward of the Sword Sect before.

“Family Head, could it really just be a coincidence, that this steward is simply splurging?”

Hearing Henry’s words, Milton Cheney shook his head.

“It’s unlikely. Even if he is wealthy and generous, he wouldn’t do it in this way. Have the family check if there’s anything wrong with this Foundation Establishment Elixir, and don’t take it whether or not a problem is found.”

“Then pay attention to this steward from the Sword Sect to see if he will appear again in the sea region of Golden Sands Island. I have a feeling it’s not that simple,” Milton declared.

Having said that, Milton then put the matter out of his mind and began discussing the family’s future arrangements with Henry.

One family development plan after another poured out from Milton’s mouth, leaving Henry utterly bewildered.

A moment later, Henry’s face showed great joy.

Milton’s proposals were simply too astonishing.

If Milton wasn’t a Heavenly Spiritual Root, he could at least be considered a prodigy in business.

After some time, once Milton had finished giving instructions, Henry bowed and took his leave.

Now that Milton had become the Family Head, it was imperative he didn’t remain idle. Any of the development strategies for the family he casually recalled from memory would be of great benefit to the Cheney Family.

All the more so because Milton had promised to bring the entire sea region of Golden Sands Island under the Cheney Family’s control, and naturally, he would not go back on his word.

After Henry left, Milton began preparations to go into seclusion.

Having reincarnated into this world, Milton’s primary goal was naturally his cultivation.

All other matters were secondary.

Regarding the Immortal Path of this world, Milton viewed it as inferior to the Demon Path, but still comparable to the Wizard Path.

For Milton, the most important thing at this time was to cultivate the many different paths and integrate them together.

After all, his purpose was to carve out a new trail on the Wizard Path.

Even the other Paths of Cultivation, despite being significantly different from the Wizard Path, had useful elements he could learn from.

……

Time waits for no one, and in the blink of an eye, twenty years had passed.

Atop Golden Sands Cliff on Golden Sands Island.

Milton stood at the summit of the cliff, with a middle-aged man whose temples were streaked with white standing behind him.

“The authority of the Family Head grows stronger and stronger. Five years ago, I could still glimpse a trace of the Family Head’s prestige, but now I can no longer look directly at the Family Head’s form,” David Cheney muttered to himself, standing a few meters behind Milton.

“Is there something happening with the family?” Milton asked softly.

“Reporting to the Family Head, there are no issues within the family, but that steward from the Sword Sect you have been monitoring has appeared again,” David informed.

“Over these five years, he has secretly distributed twelve Foundation Establishment Elixirs, inciting the birth of seven new Foundation Establishment Families.”

David quickly reported, not daring to hide anything from the Cheney Family Head.

Upon hearing this, Milton’s expression remained unchanged.

After all, this was not the first time he had heard similar news.

In just the past twenty years, that steward from the Sword Sect had spread nearly thirty Foundation Establishment Elixirs in the entire sea region of Golden Sands Island.

However, he had always operated behind the scenes.

Those who received the Elixirs believed they were moments of fate.

Little did they know there was a hidden hand behind it all.

Milton had several guesses about Liam Reed’s intentions, but none could be confirmed.

It seemed his appearance at Milton’s succession ceremony and the gifting of the Foundation Establishment Elixir might indeed have been a mere coincidence.

It was just that the Cheney Family had inadvertently fallen into Liam Reed’s schemes.

“Thirty Foundation Establishment Elixirs are quite valuable,” Milton mused.

“Don’t worry about him for now, let’s see what he’s up to. Instruct the sea guards to continue monitoring Liam Reed but remain covert,” Milton instructed.

“Yes, Family Head,” David replied.

After David left, Milton did not move from his spot but remained standing atop Golden Sands Cliff.

Twenty years had gone by, and by this time, Milton was a true Golden Core True Immortal.

First Grade Golden Core, profound and solidly established.

However, after becoming a Golden Core True Immortal, Milton’s pace of cultivation had slowed.

The reason was simple: the only second-tier Spiritual Vein on Golden Sands Island was no longer sufficient.

“Being able to produce thirty Foundation Establishment Elixirs at once, this Liam Reed seems to be just a pawn pushed to the front, I just don’t know what the person behind him is really scheming.”

Milton Cheney contemplated in his heart.

An ordinary mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator would have no means to produce so many Foundation Establishment Elixirs.

Let alone a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, even a Golden Core Cultivator would find it unlikely.

There was no problem with the Foundation Establishment Elixirs, Milton Cheney had already personally tested them.

Naturally, Milton Cheney did not think that Liam Reed was a living Bodhisattva, working for the welfare of the Cultivators in the sea region of Wanhu Island.

These Foundation Establishment Elixirs were not so easy to come by, and since he had acquired them, he might already be entangled in karma.

However, Milton Cheney was not in a hurry.

Let’s wait and see.

If there was a scheme, then the person behind it would inevitably show themselves.

When that time comes, if it involves him, he’ll just take them down directly.

Milton Cheney reincarnated into this world not to deal with such meaningless matters.

……

Time flew by, and twenty years passed in an instant.

In the depths of Golden Sands Island, within a Cave Mansion.

This place was the closest to the spiritual vein of Golden Sands Island, and by then it had already been developed into a Cave Mansion by Milton Cheney.

This was also the forbidden area of the entire Cheney Family.

The people of the Cheney Family knew that their mysterious Family Head was cultivating here.

So, no one would come to disturb him.

Within the pitch-black Cave Mansion, Milton Cheney slowly opened his eyes.

A trace of brilliance flashed through his eyes, but after a moment, the light returned to normal.

The next moment, a torrential surge of spiritual power rose from Milton Cheney’s body, like a tidal wave surging outwards in all directions.

Boom!

A huge sound reverberated through the Cave Mansion.

Only after a moment did this vast spiritual power settle back into calm.

“Mid-stage Golden Core!”

“In the sea region of Wanhu Island, where the spiritual energy is thin, reaching the mid-stage of the Golden Core Realm is already the limit,” Milton Cheney whispered to himself, feeling the enormous spiritual power lurking within his body.

In Milton Cheney’s perception, the Golden Core Realm could now rival a Level 3 Wizard in the Wizard Realm.

Even slightly stronger.

The next moment, Milton Cheney’s figure flashed, disappearing from the Cave Mansion.

“Let’s start preparing, send notices to all Foundation Establishment Families within the Wanhu Island sea region, it’s time for the Golden Sands Cheney Family to take control of the whole Wanhu sea region.”

“From now on, there is no Golden Sands Cheney Family within the Wanhu sea region, but the Wanhu Cheney Family.”

The voice of Milton Cheney sounded.

The face of an old man drastically changed.

The next moment, as if he recognized the owner of the voice, his drastically changed complexion calmed down.

He then respectfully opened his mouth, “Yes, Family Head.”

Only after Milton Cheney’s figure had vanished did the old man absently wipe the sweat from his forehead.

The Family Head’s realm had become unfathomably profound; he hadn’t even noticed when the Family Head had appeared by his side just now.

He was a mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, after all.

How strong must the Family Head be, has he already reached Great Perfection in Foundation Establishment?

Or perhaps he had ascended to an even higher realm.

Thinking this, the old man’s pupils narrowed as he dared not continue the thought but hurriedly called the family members together.

Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, three days had gone by.

In these three days, even the Loose Cultivators in Golden Sands Island who were not affiliated with the Cheney Family sensed that something was amiss.

“What’s going on, is the Cheney Family about to burst into war?”

“I don’t know, but these last few days I’ve seen at least several late-stage Qi Cultivation great Cultivators of the Cheney Family returning to their base, it seems something big is going to happen.”

“Storm’s coming, in recent years the Heavenly Sea Pavilion under the Cheney Family has swept across the entire Wanhu Island raking in massive wealth, other families have long been dissatisfied, this time I’m afraid a family clan war is truly going to break out.”

“…”

Within the Golden Sand Market, the crowd buzzed with discussions.

To know that in recent years, the Golden Sands Cheney Family’s chain of Heavenly Sea Pavilion Shops had amassed considerable wealth, and other families had been displeased for a long time.

This time, it seemed that trouble was really brewing.

Many Loose Cultivators on Golden Sands Island seemed to sense something and began leaving the island one after another.
