Day arrived in Prismatic Sun Holy Land. The beautiful sun which held the same fairy-like properties as the rest of the realm shone through the clouds, meeting several layers of obstruction by various formations and structures and becoming a web of shining rays that cascaded through the sky.
The heavens were unbiased, but even they celebrated at times. It was like this sunshine was reflecting the joyousness that filled the Holy Land's atmosphere the previous night.
And in that sense, it wasn't nearly beautiful enough.
Damien and his three wives, now that they were officially engaged, spent the night sinking into their happiness without reservation.
There were no provocative implications to their activities. Even at this time, none of the women were ready to partake in those things together.
However, the connection between the four heightened again, and despite the ways they changed in the time they were apart, they reshaped and rebranded those indestructible bonds they had in the past.
In the daylight that now enveloped the realm, the four of them walked together, appreciating the natural beauty.
Damien was currently leading his women through Prismatic Sun Holy Land's true face, headed towards the Holy Master's residence hidden in a cozy forest somewhere on the floating mountain range.
The other 46 geniuses, including Long Chen, Su Ren, and Xue Fang, were also departing, their destination set for Hidden Death Valley.
Damien naturally stopped to wish them well before leaving.
He almost wanted to invite Su Ren and Long Chen to come with him, since they were far more talented and useful than the other geniuses, but he refrained.
It had been too long since he'd spent time alone with his women, and he wasn't planning to sacrifice this chance.
Nevertheless, that interaction took place over an hour ago.
Now, as Damien smilingly watched the trio behind him admiring Prismatic Sun Holy Land, he brought them into that cozy forest, facing that same nondescript yet incredibly profound cabin.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
"Anyone home?" Damien asked, knocking lightly on the door.
"No need for formalities. Enter."
Iris' voice came from the other side, prompting Damien to push open the door and make his way into the residence with his group.
Iris wasn't behind the curtain this time, but her body was covered heavily in artifacts that could hide her appearance.
However, even these artifacts were shaped like a beautiful dress, veil, and jewelry that painted her like an ethereal desert princess.
Rose, Ruyue, and Elena cupped their fists and bowed in greeting, while Damien smiled at her and nodded.
"Are you prepared?" She asked, her eyes flickering over the group.
"Do we have any reason to not be?" Damien responded with a grin.
"Hmph. As expected of you," Iris said, a small smile forming on her lips.
She guided the group to a large table that didn't exist in the room the last time Damien was here. On it, a large map was drawn, denoting various locations in the universe with a great variety of crosses.
And now that it had been a day, there was no need to waste time on pleasantries or repetition.
"These are the locations we have checked for the entrance before. There are a few that had potential, but every lead has come up for naught as we continued searching," Iris spoke, motioning towards the map.
"We are sure this place is not unknown. Somewhere in the universe, there is a public entrance that people have been using to enter and exit the realm, though it is mostly the former."
"These are the locations we have been searching, but instead of sub-universes, they are all merely great Mystic Realms that were added to the training route for those young geniuses."
She spoke sighingly, her annoyance at the lack of result evident in her tone as she brought out a large black diamond roughly the size of her palm.
"This stone was given to our Holy Land by the Second Primal Sovereign himself several eons ago. It is the only clue we've had these past years, and while it has not proven useful, I am certain it can lead us to him."
Damien sent his awareness into the stone, feeling for its properties curiously.
He instantly gasped as his perception sunk into its surface.
"Wow!" He couldn't help but exclaim.
All the eyes around him pressed for an explanation that he was happy to give.
"I can only say you were right about this gem being important. Its interior is a complex maze of space cracks and isolated dimensions that can't even be sensed unless one has extreme proficiency in Space Laws. I don't think it will directly lead us to him, but reaching its center would definitely help us negotiate," he said, shaking his head in wonder.
"The position of Second Primal Sovereign truly is well-deserved."
He looked back at the map, furrowing his brows as he noted down everything marked on it.
"We'll still have to find the location on our own, but it shouldn't be too hard. Since this gem was directly granted by the Primal Sovereign, I should be able to use it to gauge a position."
Iris' expression shifted in slight surprise.
"You are certain you can find a location?" She asked.
"Guaranteed," Damien responded. "Just give me a few hours with the gem and we'll be good to go."
The Holy Master nodded, handing over the gem without question.
Damien smiled at her attitude and took it thankfully.
While he didn't mention it out loud, this gem also had some slight Void fluctuations coming from its surface.
It wasn't to the level of making it important for his comprehension, but if he used the Breath of Nothingness here to connect to that fluctuation…
'Mm, that's it.'
Damien sunk his awareness into the stone again, this time avoiding the spatial maze and forming that link in the Void.
Usually, he was someone who could do things incredibly fast and efficiently, but even he was forced to spend over two hours solidifying this connection to get anything out of it.
The trace of Void fluctuation he sensed was too old and withered. Whatever it contained in the past was only present in fragments now.
Gradually, Damien's spiritual world flashed with several still images depicting a place.
A huge mountain so steep it looked like a sword of heaven, a sprawling jungle, a rocky plain, and finally, a shimmering area of space surrounded by people.
It almost felt like drone footage zooming out to show various parts of the location, and though most of these frames, a number greater than 100, were useless for now, it didn't matter.
Because that shimmering area of space was definitely the entrance!
Damien summoned his mana, recreating that image in the real world for the rest to see.
"Do you recognize this place?" He asked, looking at Iris.
She deeply investigated the image, her brows furrowing in confusion before—
"Ah!" She exclaimed, bringing her hands together in excitement.
"These people…they are disciples of Stone Giant Holy Land!"
"Stone Giant Holy Land?" Damien repeated.
"Mm," Iris answered with a bright smile of fulfillment.
"Say, have any of you ever visited the Giant Domain?"
