Chapter 473: The Key To Tier 12 Realm

After taking Wanderer, Iris waved his hand, taking them to the Immortal Palace Realm.

"Thank you for your help, Sect Master. You have my utmost gratitude!" Maximus bowed.

"I just don't want a genius to fall in an unknown land," Iris said nonchalantly.

Looking at the familiar place, Maximus glanced at Iris with puzzlement.

"You should stay here; you're still too weak to roam the Aeon Plane," Iris said with a frown, noticing Maximus's questioning eyes.

"I'm sorry, but I have to refuse the Sect Master's suggestion. I still want to get my hands on the Mechanical Alliance's special liquid solution," Maximus said, thinking he still hadn't obtained the Mechanical Alliance's unique formula.

"What do you need it for? That solution only works with the Mechanical Alliance's special foundational manual."

"I want to study it."

"Study? What you need now is to train and become stronger, not waste your time on meaningless research."

Hearing this, Maximus fell silent.

The special liquid solution was crucial for his cultivation.

It might reduce his need for the casualty of power and make his progress more efficient.

"Fine, I have some of the Mechanical Alliance's special liquid solution here. It's yours." Iris said, throwing him a capsule.

As the supreme leader of the Immortal Palace Sect, she had resources and unique knowledge from various sects and families.

She even had their foundational manuals to study.

Unfortunately, if she dared to use them for her sect's disciples, it would cause war.

Thinking of this, Iris thought of Maximus sneakily copying the sect's foundation manual.

"Have you been collecting foundational manuals from other sects?" Lilith asked.

"Y-yes," Maximus nodded, unable to lie.

"Why do you need them? If you want, I could give you the undecrypted manual of the Immortal Palace Sect," Iris frowned.

"I have created an ultimate-grade manual. I want to continue deducing it," Maximus said truthfully.

"Oh? I see," Iris nodded, not surprised.

Since Maximus could pass the impossible virtual trial, an ultimate manual was not unexpected.

Each ultimate manual is unique, and only its creator can use it.

As for its derivatives, unless one wants to be bound by its creator, no one would practice them.

"Here, you can also take this. I'm sure you could decode it with your ability," Iris said, handing him the foundational manuals of the other eight sects and alliances.

As for the foundational manuals of the top families, they were inferior.

"Thank you..." Maximus sighed, feeling indebted.

If he had to collect these himself, He would have to pay an unimaginable price.

Now that he had all the manuals of the nine sects, he was confident he could create the Tier 9 Perfect Origin Manual in just a few hundred years.

"Now that you have everything, are you going to stay here?" Iris asked with a hint of hope.

"No, I can't. I'm the Dimensional Master of Etherium Realm. I still have responsibilities."

Although Maximus wanted to stay here, practice with unlimited casualty of power, and occasionally admire the beauty of Iris, Maximus still had a lot of obligations.

"Are you playing with me?!" Iris asked with a bit of irritation.

Soon, under Iris' complicated emotions, Maximus was finally able to leave.

"Don't forget to visit me..." Iris thought reluctantly, watching Maximus leave.

...

Etherium Realm:

Returning to his dimension, Maximus greedily took a breath, seeing and feeling the familiar environment of his home.

"We've returned home, Wanderer," Maximus said, looking at the little robot on his shoulder.

"I will do everything to protect our home, Master," Wanderer promised.

"That's good. Let's go meet your fiancée," Maximus said, taking Wanderer to the Etherium Academy.

"Fiancée? I only need to serve you, Master, not anyone else."

"Hahaha, no need to be nervous," Maximus laughed, seeing Wanderer's puzzlement.

"Eternal Voyager, let's meet your fiancée here."

"Welcome back, Host," a spirit appeared before him, looking at Maximus seriously.

As for Maximus's incredulous words, they didn't register in her mind.

A ship's spirit didn't need any companion; they roam alone in the void, exploring its wonders.

"Eternal Voyager, this is Wanderer, the first mechanical companion I created. Wanderer, this is Eternal Voyager, the most talented ship spirit I found in my early days." Maximus introduced the two.

"You don't need to take care of Master anymore. That will be my duty," Wanderer said coldly.

"I don't need to. The Host is the strongest in existence. I just need to manage his home," Eternal Voyager retorted coldly.

"Alright, you two must take care of the Etherium Realm. I will be in seclusion in the coming years..."

"Don't worry, leave everything to me, Master!"

"I can take care of the Etherium Realm just fine. The Host doesn't need to add this rusty iron here."

"What rusty iron? You low-level spirit!" Wanderer muttered, noting that Eternal Voyager was only at Tier 10.

"I'm a noble spirit, you lucky maverick rusty iron that appeared out of nowhere."

Seeing they were getting along just fine, Maximus smiled.

...

A few years later, after arranging everything before his seclusion, the second phase of the Dimensional War began.

"One percent..." Maximus estimated, watching the land being sucked into the void battlefield.

Seeing trillions and billions of cities disappear in the Etherium Realm, Maximus couldn't help but frown.

"I've already prepared everything. I don't need to help this time..." Maximus decided, hardening his heart.

All resources, power, and strategy were already laid out and distributed equally within each city.

Wanderer also replicated and created a mechanical army from Tier 5 to 7, filling the gap.

Fealan, Alabaster, and Readius were also ready for more fight, wanting to accumulate more foundation for themselves, and break through the limitations of their physique.

With the preparations and high morale of the Etherium Realm, Maximus felt it was enough.

Looking at the nine foundational manuals before him, Maximus decided to formally enter seclusion.

"Let's start..."
