Chapter 389 A Secluded Pocket World

William placed his materials around, forming an isolation array, a sealing array, and even a defensive one. He didn't want any funny dude to come in here and try to get into the pocket world and spy on him.

William wasn't that much afraid of the gold grade spirit masters, but the dark gold ones was a totally different story. These were hard to detect and had many ways to keep spying on him without him realising anything.

"I'm ready," William planned to have a bit of rest before training. But now he couldn't do any of that. How come he'd sleep before exploring the pocket world he got in his room?

As he was done from setting his arrays, he went directly towards the ball. Without any hesitation, he touched it, feeling an old and familiar sucking power that overtook his body, taking him inside the world.

The next thing William saw was a brightly lit world, with a clear sky, a big orange rounded sun in the middle of the sky. The ground expanded in all directions, while he stood in the middle of an open and seemingly endless flat land.

He spotted a forest far at the east, a series of large mountains at the north, with clouds shimmering the peaks, covering up most of the mountain bodies.

"This world... It's great!" William wanted to go and venture around, explore this world, but he resisted such urge.

Doing so would take lots of time, and this world just seemed a big one. If he dared to do so, then he'd end up wasting lots of time for nothing.

Instead, he regretted not having his team with him, not bringing Trevor or Thomas here.

Any of these were supposed to help him explore this world.

"I have to train, test my theory out, instead of thinking about such useless things," William took in a deep breath, feeling more desire to get such a pocket world at any cost later on.

Even if the cost of such a pocket world was scary, he was sure of his ability to get one. After the upcoming auction of his cores, he'd have lots of wealth on himself to buy anything he'd dream about.

He planned to use the money first to buy a piece of land, build a base for the team there, and recruit more members, before doing anything else.

However, he already got a perfect piece of land, with not only one building, but many. It had many problems, but he planned to deal with these after he'd dealt with his spirit issue first.

As for teams, he already planted a seed in the Lockheart impact. Ro's team wasn't just the only team out there he wanted to recruit. And without knowing it, he used her to spread out the news, telling everyone how wealthy and authoritative he was.

He might be weak, weaker than most of the good teams here, but he got many things that most didn't.

"It's indeed a secluded world," William knew there were different types of pocket worlds. Even the tiny world he was living in currently could be considered a pocket world in the eyes of those at the outer one.

There were many types of these worlds, and this one belonged to the secluded type. They weren't huge pocket worlds, but they got a very important advantage. This pocket world belonged totally to someone, and that person was the one who placed that ball in the hotel rooms.

The ownership of any pocket world was something crucial. In many pocket worlds, one could gain access towards it, but couldn't control or rule it.

Without ruling a pocket world, one wouldn't be able to gain its heart core. And via that core, one could take and carry the pocket world around.

It was something like the red ball floating in his room. And without it, one could just mark the location of the main gate towards that pocket world, without being able to carry it around.

And that meant anyone knowing about the entrance location could get inside that pocket world without any problem.

In addition to that, the secluded pocket worlds got the exit gate just at the point of one's entry. Unlike the other pocket worlds which had no owners or real rulers, where one had to search actively for the well-hidden exit portals inside.

Of course, any pocket world could turn into a secluded one as long as one got enough time and patience, power and followers, to crush any resisting forces inside and dominate it.

But just like the tiny world William was living in, the strong powerhouses here weren't just humans, but also monsters and dark spirit masters.

That made the task of unifying and taking control over the entire world nearly an impossible feat.

The prices of such secluded worlds were always sky high. This wasn't only thanks to their benefits, but thanks to their rarity. Not to mention the hardships anyone would face to control any pocket world in the first place.

"It's hard to tell if this place is safe or not," William knew such a pocket world could have many people inside without him even knowing it. So, he decided to be more cautious, and deployed lots of arrays first before doing anything else.

And then he stood in the middle of all this, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and started to test out his theory.

To activate one's spirit, any spirit master had to circulate his spirit power inside his body in a certain way. The idea was to move the spirit power to the belly region, where the spirit was mainly situated.

William knew how to do so, but he had to use something else.

If he followed the same route, then his spirit would get activated fully, and he'd end up at the same pathetic state he always ended up at each time he tried this.

The other way he thought about it was to mimic the actions of that Nightmare monster. The monster could make clones, each with different spirit elements and techniques, then it'd merge them together.
