"Leave? But this is my place. You should be the one to leave," Marcus shouted at him.
"Hehe, do you think you can say that when I have this?" Ning asked as he showed Marcus the oath stone.
"You bastard! Give that back. It's mine," he shouted.
"Well, not anymore," Ning said. "I mean, you can stay here if you really want to, I don't mind it as much, but the secret realm back there will be with me."
Marcus was still angry, but he had to deal with his current situation, so he couldn't go on shouting at Ning. Besides, he had saved him earlier, so it didn't feel right to continue cussing at Ning.
And since it wasn't coming from a place of emotion, cussing wasn't going to help Marcus with his system.
Grumpily, he took his people and went into the palace, leaving only Ning and Halios behind.
Ning's spiritual sense reached far and wide until he found Ely in their hotel room. "Can you come here?" he asked her.
Ely heard him and left the hotel.
Ning waited for a while before she arrived and once she was there, together they entered the Origin, leaving Halios outside as a guard.
Ning walked in to see the grassland again, with various different buildings and gardens that were clearly man-made.
"Wow, this is beautiful. And there aren't even that many mountains here, unlike back in Kumia," Ely said.
"Yeah, it's so full of Qi as well," Ning said. He looked around at the size and the place was large enough that it could house everyone that he was thinking about.
"I wonder how far you can reach if you cultivate in here just for a few days," Ning said. "Wanna try?"
"Sure," Ely said. "I will start cultivating then."
She sat by a small sitting area built inside to sit around. She started using the cultivation method Ning had provided her and soon enough she was collecting Qi at a speed that was absurd.
"How many times faster can she get in this place?" Ning asked the system.
<14 times.>
"Not bad," Ning thought. Ely was already a High Immortal 3rd realm cultivator. If she continued cultivating at the speed she was doing right now, it wouldn't even take her a week to reach the True Immortal realm.
From there a month or two was all it would need for her to reach the Immortal Saint realm, and from there on it was a smooth journey to the Immortal King, Emperor, and God realm.
Ning sat by her and watched her cultivate for a while before deciding to leave.
"Halios, watch after her for a few minutes. I will return in an hour or two," Ning said once he walked outside.
"Yes, master," Halios said. He agreed to everything that Ning told him to do without question.
Ning teleported away and arrived at Baelon city, where he found Aegis.
"Master?" Aegis said with a surprised look on his face. "Why are you back already?"
It had been no more than 2 days since Ning had left and somehow he was back already.
"Grandmaster!" his two children shouted the moment they saw him with wide smiles on their faces.
Ning looked around at the two that had found their human form only recently thanks to the cultivation method he had given them.
"Hey!" Ning said. "Sorry to drop unannounced, but I found the place I'm looking for."
"Already?" Aegis asked with a surprised look. "But it has only been 2 days."
Ning shrugged. "What can I say? I'm just that good," he said.
"Where is this place, master?" Aegis asked.
"It's the Origin of this planet. Just like back in Kumia, I found a similar place here as well." Ning looked around at Shaana, Haana, and Raelis. "Are you guys ready to leave?"
Shaana gave an awkward smile, not knowing what exactly to say.
"We didn't prepare for it to be just 2 days later, master," Aegis said. "It will take us some time to say farewell to our friends here, and I have to sell my shop as well, along with this house."
"Ah, it seems you have a lot to do then," Ning said. "Alright, take however much you need. There are a few other people that are Anya's and Hyesi's kin that are scattered around this world, so I should go get them too."
"Okay, master. We will call you after we are done," Aegis said.
Ning teleported back to Nightfall city and walked up to Halios. Since Ely would be cultivating for a long time, he decided to leave a message that Halios would give her once she had stopped cultivating.
With that said, he left the place to go around the entire world to look for the rest of his people.
The Klavians and Anya's folks were in different places, in different situations, all of which required Ning to spend some time solving the problems around them.
Some were disciples in sects, while some were mercenaries that worked to earn a living. Some had opened up a shop, while some were imprisoned for some reason.
Anya's descendants were into alchemy, so Ning had to be around Scholars to reach them. They were the ones that had found a job for themselves.
Hyesi's descendants were body cultivators, so he found them in places that required intense physical activity.
There were in total 5 different people that he found and he asked them all to come back with him.
2 of them refused, stating that they had a life of their own where they were and were happy with it, while the other 3 immediately accepted Ning's request.
Ning brought them all back to the Origin a week or two later, and at the same time, he brought back Aegis' family as well.
With those all back, Ning had nothing else he needed to do in this world. So, very soon, he could leave for the other worlds to find more of his people as well.
