Sam had a big plan this time and most of it is due to hiding his direct involvement in this matter.

Even though he has many cards and with enough time he can outdo all these major powers, he didn't have much time. He has to do things early and it is already four months in the second year. He has barely one year and another eight months left.

Within this time, he has to gain the remaining four boxes, and luckily, he got some news on the third box. It happened to be in the possession of thunder god temple.

Due to the constant rise in Arman's performance, he has recently gained access to the core treasury to pick up a reward, and there he saw this box.

The box has been in the thunder god temple for a long time and they knew it belongs to the central continent and some ancient secret must be hidden inside.

But they weren't successful in opening it.

Anyway, since he knew one of the locations, he can deal with it afterward. But before that, he has to deal with the Usaine sect.

Currently, the war is in the final stage and the Consummate realm cultivators are clashing directly. Sam didn't expect that war would escalate to this point, according to him, the battle would have been over after two months and the consummate realm cultivators shouldn't even have joined the battle.

Then, the Usaine sect would target him and he would use the newly gained pawns within the sect to damage its foundation and make a move on the sect.

But now that the original plan has changed, he wanted to make a head-on move.

On this day, all the troops required for the naval fleet and the land armies all gathered on the shore of the eastern sea of the western continent. Arc who broke through the Consummate realm is wearing a mask. Adrian is also wearing the same type of mask.

Sam let all the Naval soldiers and commanders of the fleet to enter the ships and take their respective positions. That included the beasts that are also part of the fleet. Sky along with many other wind-type flying beasts occupied the deck of one of the Amphibious assault ships.

Another deck was occupied by Yanwu and other fire type flying beasts.

As for the remaining three decks, there are three new beasts at the nascent stage occupying the lead position and all have an additional element other than the wind element and their beasts are all of their same race.

These are the beasts that are subdued by Yanwu and Sky and they almost subdued the beast tribes all over the western continent.

Below the Amphibious assault ships, where the submarines can be docked in the modern warfare there are Porpoises of Pre-transcendent and nascent stage as for any beasts below that, they are not included.

It is not too good to let them die.

Sam hovered in the air as he watched them board the fleet and when everyone is in their positions, Sam said.

"Do not come outside, no matter what. Keep your spiritual energy to yourself and don't try to scan anything until I told you so.

You have to stay as if you are in a meditative state and nothing should bother you. No matter who let their spiritual sense wander around, I will know and you are dead by then. So, please be careful about what you would do.

Now, don't resist and let my spiritual sense envelop you."

With that, Sam closed his eyes and extended his hand, and spread his spiritual sense all over the fleet.

He scanned the beasts, soldiers, captains, and even the commanders of the ship.

His veins popped his face has become red and he started sweating and all of a sudden, the whole fleet disappeared and reappeared in the divine dimension.

There is a large lake inside the dimension which was not present before. It was something Sam made just for transporting the fleet.

There is no way he would taking the fleet through the sea even if there is a route. Any accident can occur in the sea.

No matter how strong he became at least within the Consummate realm, the sea is something that couldn't be conquered that easily. It always wins no matter who the opponent is.

Now, only Sam, Arc and Adrian are there. They went back to his city where some other people are waiting for them.

They are fifteen people. They are the Pre-transcendent stage cultivators and a Transcendent cultivator.

These are his main forces now. More than half of them are recently broken through. But that is enough for them.

Their current operation is going to be something sneaky.

They went to the Space gate and arrived at Arsin.

Arkiv is waiting for Sam in Arsin. He is the one who gave then most information from the Usaine sect's side.

Sam just wanted him to not get involved in the war, but this guy is siding with them by too much and he would know why he is doing so.

They are about cut a deal.

"So, what do you want?"

"Your identity?" Arkiv asked in confusion. He still doesn't know who Sam is. Sam is still wearing a disguise.

"Is it sufficient?"

"It would be better, no? We could be friends."

"We will see that. You would know who I am after we enter the next realm, until then tell me what you want. Don't tell me you did everything I asked you just for my friendship."

"The Core library. I want something in the core library of the Usaine sect. The rift between me and the sect happened there.

There is some sort of secret art of the Usaine sect in the middle of the core library and it was locked. In the past three centuries, I am the only one who unlocked it, but I was denied access to it.

All of that because I am not of the direct lineage. From then on, the Usaine sect has been trying to give the art to people of direct lineage and they even started impregnating their wives hastily to give birth to a possible prodigy.

I want that art. And everything is yours."

Sam was surprised, such a thing happened. They don't even know what the future of this guy holds. They just isolated someone who could change their bum lives and now that guy is even willing to make a deal with someone who he doesn't know to get back at them.

Poor Usaine sect.

"Deal."

Sam agreed without hesitation. He doesn't need anything from Usaine sect as for what his friends want, he asked Philip and the only answer he received is that he wants the destruction of the Usaine sect, he didn't even need any treasures or such.

Arkiv shook his hand and left the place.

Sam and the rest of the people who came with me went to do their work.

They are moving rapidly towards a sea city of the Arsin empire. This city is closest to a minor power and this minor power doesn't have any noticeable points. Out of all minor powers, this one has the lowest profile.

They don't involve resource disputes and mostly kept to themselves.

But they are not weak. They do have considerable power even within the minor powers. So, Sam decided to target this place and convert this place into his base of operations.

That night, they flew over the sea and arrived at the large island of the minor power.

The minor power does have some villages and towns on the island. It is like a small kingdom and self-sustainable.

It is the size of a state of a third world country.

Sam and his group traveled as stealthily as possible. Their aim is not to attack. But to subdue with minimum effort and they do have some new inventions from the new healers he recruited.

From what he knew, there are ten transcendent stage cultivators for this power and over thirty Pre-transcendent stage cultivators with most of them being in the early stages.

After a day of travel at their full speed, they reached the headquarters of the minor power. They hid in the surrounding woods of the area. Arc made his move. He is going to capture the leader of the minor power who should be a late-stage Transcendent stage cultivator.

If the leader is captured, everything else could be manageable.

And within half an hour, Arc returned with an unconscious man. The whole city couldn't detect a Consummate realm cultivator if he decided to hide.

And that night, the remaining officials couldn't find where their leader has gone, while he is chatting something with Sam while his cultivation was sealed.

Sam first talked to him normally and offered a chance to break through the Consummate realm, but the other guy is not listening at all and the situation turned forceful. Arc has to show that he just broke through recently and the credit to Sam.

Just when Sam was getting frustrated and wanted to forcefully feed a servitude pill, the leader asked what he wanted.

"If you can cure my son, then I will follow you, and even my whole family and the subordinates will follow you."

Sam was surprised to hear this.

"Deal. Don't go back on your words then."
