"Since everyone doesn't want to know too much, I'll just briefly explain the characteristics of each stage of the Grandmaster Realm."

Liens originally couldn't say too much about the Grandmaster Realm, because much of the content is difficult to understand without truly establishing a connection with Heaven and Earth as One.

It's like how a normal person finds it difficult to truly understand what an element is.

However, since the others proactively saved him trouble, he was naturally happy to waste less breath.

"Based on my current understanding, I divide the Grandmaster Realm into three stages."

"The first stage is when a connection with the world is established but hasn't reached sufficient depth. I call it 'Clear Path'."

"At this stage, one will gain corresponding blessings from the world based on the characteristics of their own path, just like how knights of different elemental attributes have different directions of physical strengthening."

An invisible pressure descended equally upon the others, causing the strong individuals of the Second Tier to frown.

But they did not interrupt Liens because of this; instead, they carefully experienced the "aura" pressing upon them. They knew this was the power of world blessing that Liens spoke of.

"The second stage is when the connection reaches a certain depth and special abilities are gained, named 'Recognition'."

"In fact, reaching this stage is what everyone perceives as the Grandmaster Realm. I am currently roughly in this stage, and the abilities are what are called Grandmaster abilities."

"Generally speaking, this ability should be consistent with one's own path and most closely align with a certain desire of one's heart at a specific moment."

"Of course, this is my own situation. Currently, I have not seen any other existence that has comprehended the Grandmaster Realm besides myself, so I cannot confirm if it is the same for others."

As he spoke, an intense Killing intent enveloped everyone present. At this moment, the expressions of many people in the room changed, their auras fluctuated, and their bodies tensed, entering a state of combat readiness.

It was only their remaining rationality that told them Liens was demonstrating an ability and not truly intending to attack them.

Otherwise, under the pressure of that killing intent they would truly make some form of counterattack.

However, although their bodies did not move, elements were already circulating around them. Some people's bodies began to glow with elemental light, and powerful auras began to spread.

And because these people did not deliberately control the focal point of their pressure like Liens.

Therefore, the powerful auras of multiple people collided, causing objects within the tent to move without wind, shaking and trembling.

"Bang!"

A thick hand slammed onto the conference table, emitting a deafening sound, but on the surface, it caused no damage to the table, and even the sound was confined within the tent, not spreading outside.

From this, one could see how exquisite the control of power was for the person who struck the table.

And with this loud bang, the colliding auras came to a halt, and those who had allowed their auras to uncontrollably spread also realized they were overly nervous, so they all reined in their auras.

"Have you all calmed down… You may continue, Liens."

Balder said in a deep voice, then turned and nodded to Liens, signaling that Liens could continue his explanation.

Liens showed an indifferent smile, then withdrew the pressure and Killing intent he had placed on the others, and continued to explain the next part of the content.

He had just briefly tested the strength levels of the others and found that some of them felt no less powerful than Bard.

The combined strength of Extraordinaries of this caliber, plus more than two dozen Extraordinaries of the Second Tier, still couldn't defeat Liens.

This gave Liens a rough estimate of how powerful Liens was.

"The third stage, I call 'Proof'."

"If Grandmaster abilities are the world's recognition, then this stage is about proving the feasibility of one's own path to the world."

"Because I haven't truly stepped into this stage yet, I can only roughly guess that people at this stage will integrate what they have learned and summarize one or more powerful abilities."

"If Liens is truly one step away from Legend, then he should be in this stage, possessing at least one ability that represents his own path."

Liens said to everyone with a somewhat serious tone.

He believed that the so-called ability representing one's own path was actually similar to his "Heaven and Man as One," symbolizing the culmination of "momentum."

Although he had comprehended "Heaven and Man as One" in advance through the instance, he did not believe this was reaching the recognition stage.

Because he hadn't truly mastered this ability; otherwise, "Heaven and Man as One" would be his normal state, not a powerful move only used at necessary moments.

"In other words, Liens probably has some other means he hasn't shown yet… Does anyone have any related clues?"

As he spoke, Balder looked at Lucrezia, because she was both Liens's disciple and the former princess of the Hartwin Kingdom, so she might know more information.

"Liens had rarely taken action before I could remember."

Lucrezia replied, and her words also indicated that she did not understand Liens's true methods.

Balder looked at the others, but their answers were no different from Lucrezia's; they either directly shook their heads and said they didn't know, or they offered conjectures based on the content of heroic biographies.

After discussing for a while, everyone successively rejected the conjectures fabricated based on heroic biographies and stories without accurate sources.

"Since we cannot ascertain what final means Liens possesses, we will maintain the original plan."

Balder made the final conclusion, and everyone skipped this topic, moving on to the next meeting agenda.

During the meeting, Lucrezia also explained to Liens through 'Sound Transmission' what Balder's "original plan" was.

After the meeting, the others left one after another, and Liens followed Lucrezia to the residence the Rebel Army had prepared for him in advance, to rest temporarily.

The residence was very simple, just an ordinary single room set up in a tent, with no exquisite decoration, but basic furniture like a bed, table, and chairs were all provided.

After surveying the residence, Liens turned his gaze to Lucrezia, who had not left.

"Do you have something to say to me?"

Liens asked Lucrezia calmly.

"Is that your conclusion after reading my emotions?"

Lucrezia chuckled softly, elegantly sitting on a chair, her legs crossed, further highlighting her curvaceousness and slenderness, her black mini-skirt concealing the faintly visible absolute territory.

"Does it look good?"

Lucrezia continued to ask in a seductive tone.

"No need to read emotions. Since you followed me in, you must have something to tell me."

Ignoring Lucrezia's charm, Liens responded calmly.

"You're so impervious, it really makes me feel a bit frustrated. It feels like the magic I painstakingly researched is like a circus trick in front of you, not worth mentioning."

Lucrezia sighed lightly, as if she had suffered a very serious setback, but very quickly, her expression immediately changed, returning to a gentle smile.

Even her inner emotions changed instantly with it.

"Some things were inconvenient to say during the meeting, so I can only take up a little more of your time."

Lucrezia said.

There wasn't only one mage at the meeting, nor were mages the only ones who knew magic; low-level magic like 'Sound Transmission' truly had little secrecy.
