The sun rose with the arrival of the next day, and everyone present in the sect gathered in the middle of an empty ground far behind the manor. Xin Yan and Elysia looked at Noah, waiting for him to start the process.
"Did you send your disciples away?" Noah looked at Wuhan before asking. He had been out of the sect with Xin Yan the whole night until now, talking about her ideas. He was surprised how Elysia never came to bother them even once.
"There are times when I wonder if I am even an Emperor or not." Wuhan looked into the distance with a hurt look on his face.
"Can't we throw this fool out of the Sect? He can be a guard for us outside." Xin Yan suggested with a genuine smile, which made her words even more scary.
"What did I ever do to you, woman? You are acting like I stole your child or something." Wuhan scoffed at Xin Yan, even though he was a little scared of her, he tried his best to not show it on his face.
"You did something worse." Xin Yan's eyes turned chilly as she glared at the man, causing him to look away.
"Yeah, I sent them all on 'sect mission' as you wanted me to." He looked at Noah and changed the topic. "That little girl was very difficult to send away."
"Hmm? Did Song Liu not want to leave this place?"
"Nah, it was her guard who did not want her young miss to face the dangers of the world." Wuhan rolled his eyes, recalling how Shisan tried to threaten him.
"So what did you do?" Noah asked as he started looking around and tapping his feet at several places as if checking something.
"I just sent her together with the girl. With her personality, little Liu would definitely try to complete the task by herself, and even that little guard has to listen to her because she is kind of her weakness." Wuhan replied with a proud look on his face as if he had accomplished a heavy feat.
"You seem to be smiling a lot since last night! Does getting that thing make you this happy?" Elysia poked at Xin Yan's cheeks and asked with a dissatisfied look in her eyes.
"You have no idea!" Xin Yan replied with a wide smile on her face, causing the green-haired woman to snort.
"Whatever, make sure to not make any idiotic mistakes in the future, and you owe me one for last night," Elysia said.
Xin Yan nodded at first before wanting to say something, but seeing Elysia's eyes glowing dangerously, she stopped herself.
"I let you get a hug from him, owing me one is the least you can do!" She said before ignoring her and looking at Noah.
*Sheng!* *Sheng!* *Sheng!*
*Shaa!*
Veils of illusionary lights launched up in the air, with the top open, the entire area was now sealed. Noah looked at his work, checking for any mistakes and openings. Not finding any problems with it, he sat down in the middle of the seals.
He looked at Xin Yan and Elysia for the last time with a smile on his face before closing his eyes and thinking.
'I just hope this experiment is successful. This is my entire life's work, just for this moment. If this goes as I planned, I can finally see her again.'
With hope and confidence in his research filling his heart, Noah started the process of creating his new body.
