Chapter 1245 - Break

Sam and the team arrived at the Cave residence and they started preparing to leave. He called for all the surveillance devices and destroyed all the evidence of his presence including the cave residence.

He threw all the team members into one of the divine dimension fragments and left his friends outside.

"Where are we going next?"

Arkiv asked.

"The last organization. I am actually kind of surprised that the other players didn't come here. So, I want to go there and take a look. I would like to see if that organization is finished off, if it is, then we go after the next three organizations after a break. We need to improve our cultivation.

If it is not, let us help them out a bit and then proceed with the plans."

"Help them out? It seems like someone is feeling generous." Watt said from the side.

Sam looked at him and said.

"Seems like someone learned a few more words. Anyway, they didn't come after this one and the Black Ghosts. If they did, things wouldn't have been easy for me. Their intervention would have caused a lot of trouble for me. So, I am just returning their favor, but intervening just enough to make them have an easy way."

With that, they went to the next organization and as they presumed, all the players are indeed there. Sam and the group met with Noah and Kumar.

They are surprised to meet the trio and were curious enough to listen to the whole story. Just like Sam assumed, they didn't want to intervene with the Black Ghosts and the Five Great sects, because Sam already had his sights set on them. But they didn't completely give up. They agreed to participate, if Sam was not finished before they are done in this organization, they decided to try their luck.

In fact, according to their initial estimates, they would have met Sam in the Five great sects. 

Sam was not really surprised, but they were shocked because Sam finished the sects and the ghosts before they could even make some significant progress in this organization.

It turned out, the problem is once again with Dayus. He seemed to have gotten some people from who knows where and even though he couldn't just deal with the organization as Sam did, he can easily sabotage the plans of other players which is exactly what he is doing.

He is not making any progress and he is not letting other players do so as well.

This time, the players didn't even have any prior agreement, except for one. They wouldn't interfere with each other's plans and whoever gets to the heirloom keeps it and if anyone wants it, they can duel and try to take it under fair circumstances.

Except for that, there is nothing else in the cooperation.

But Dayus was not even included in that agreement. Because of the incident, Arkiv revealed, he was ostracized. Giving out the information on one of the players to an organization is something they cannot bring themselves to accept no matter how much they considered it.

They couldn't even find an excuse to justify his actions, so they didn't bother cooperating with him and now he is taking revenge in this twisted way.

So, Sam decided to help them.

He didn't go after Dayus' men, he just went on and created more chaos in the organization with his team and within a few days, Dayus' plans didn't work anymore.

In this chaotic situation, everyone is trying to get a piece of this organization and Dayus who is ambitious of them all, couldn't stop himself from getting some ideas with all the chaos caused, and one of the main reasons is that he doesn't know that Sam is involved in this.

All of a sudden, he found a lot of openings and opportunities for some reason, but he didn't question it and attributed everything to his luck and fortune. But every opportunity he took up didn't work well. The results are always lackluster, to say the least, and sometimes, it even delayed his progress and made him take a few steps back.

This is something he didn't expect to happen, but it did.

Sam spent two months there, while his team focused on cultivation and only caused chaos in the breaks while the rest of the players went on to deal with the organization.

After these two months, Noah and Kumar managed to get the heirloom and no one bothered to fight it out with them.

For a normal player, the resources that they could get from an heirloom are too many and they can cultivate for a long time, so losing a couple of heirlooms is no big deal for them. They don't want to fight it out like that.

But Dayus is not having any of it. He decided to fight and Noah took the opportunity to give him a basing of a lifetime.

Dayus is only good at fighting headfirst. Maybe, Kumar would have been a better opponent for him with a close-call fight, but Noah is tricky, she played him like he was an angry bull and led him on until he was completely drowned with pain and suffering.

She took out all the frustration, he made her feel on him.

And when the players are about to leave, Sam made an appearance to bid them goodbye.

It turned out that everyone is going to take a break.

They also know that the next six organizations are kind of a big league. The late-stage Consummate stage cultivators of Astral Plane would be the leaders and there is a chance that there would be more than one leader.

Most of the players are still within the Astral Plane Pre-transcendent stage. They want to take a break for six months. They managed to find some things that could grow their progress with the exchange of heirloom they had until now and they are sure they would reach Sam's level in six to eight months.

Sam decided to take this chance and take a break as well.

Even if he didn't have something that could increase his progress by two levels as they did, his teammates have to increase their cultivation and many of them are very close. So, in this time period, they would increase their cultivation which would make him feel at ease.

So, Sam made a deal with them.

He would take a six months break and he would go after the first of the next three and they will go after the last of the next three.

If things go well, they would meet in the middle and make the same deal they made when they are dealing with the fiend tribe and the Myriad beast sect.

But if not, whoever finishes theirs first can go after the middle one.

With that, Sam returned to desolate. 

He introduced his students to the trio and they also went to take a look at the city. There are many changes, new weapon systems, puppet networks, surveillance upgrade,s and many others.

Most of the structure remained the same, but new formations were added.

They felt nostalgic and then they went to Watt's home. His wife was surprised when she saw him and ran into his arms.

Watt introduced the two new members to her and they spent the day there chatting.

Watt stayed in his house for the next three days and only came back to desolate after that.

The trio went to meet the students they taught in the school, the administrative divisions they managed, and the people they trained to take over the administrative roles.

Meanwhile, Sam took the teammates to the cultivation chambers, to see if this can assist them in cultivation and it really did.

For the next six months, they stayed there and worked their ass off. Without any surprise, Sam didn't manage to have a breakthrough to the next stage. But many of his teammates did. His friends also didn't have a breakthrough because they just had one, when Sam visited them.

And the best thing is that Night Ghost managed to have one, because of the Souls he got from the two sect leaders.

Sam didn't let the Ghost Chimera eat them, because it is already too powerful. He only managed to control it because he created it, if it became too powerful, he wouldn't be able to control it. He really must thank his mental energy to hold it in for now.

He went after the next target with newfound excitement. It has been a while since he and his friends worked together. Even though they worked against the Five great sects, the most satisfying part was gathering intelligence as they figured out how they could screw the others over easily.

They couldn't do it for the Five Great sects, but now they can do it for the next organization.

While they are going there with this excitement, what they met there is not exciting at all.

Sam was met with a big surprise that could change his life and make it upside-down instantly.
