Chapter 1041: Sky-piercing City!
The night was as dark as a deep lake . Although Merlin and Aruba had decided to go to Sky-piercing City, they had to wait until tomorrow to start their journey .
Ogman now stood before Merlin and Aruba . He had an intuition that both of them had great powers, far surpassing any contenders he had seen, so he had purposely come to them for guidance .
It just so happened that Merlin and Aruba could take this opportunity as a pretext to thoroughly understand this world’s power system . Having this comprehensive understanding would allow them to aid the people here in breaking free from this Latitude Cosmos .
“How do you usually improve your strength?”
Merlin asked Ogman calmly .
Ogman smiled . “It’s simple . I focus my thoughts and visualize the scorching sun in the sky . Then, wisps of blazing energy would slowly appear in my body, following which this power is merged into the Sun Seed, causing it to grow and flourish unceasingly . I heard that once one had reached the level of a Sanctuary Contender, the Power Seed in their bodies is practically as powerful as the actual thing they visualize . ”
It turned out that this was the supernatural power possessed by the people of Bluewater World . They slowly absorbed the energy of this world’s sun or other celestial bodies .
Bluewater World had many overpowering celestial bodies, which together formed a Latitude Cosmos . By relying upon the absorption of the celestial bodies’ power, the people here gradually strengthened themselves .
Therefore, this process was inextricably linked to the entire Latitude Cosmos . Trying to break free would be immensely difficult .
“Haha, Brother Merlin, which journey to become a Free Being was smooth sailing? If there were no mishaps, no one would successfully become a Free Being . Back when I became a Free Being, it was also due to some accident . This time, we came to Bluewater World to look for a Free Being, so we’re the greatest variable . Otherwise, if this mission was easy, it won’t possibly have such rich rewards . ”
Merlin nodded . Both of them were talking among themselves secretly and Ogman did not know what they were saying .
“I’m afraid that tomorrow we’ll have to trouble you to bring us on a trip to Sky-piercing City . ”
Merlin calmly said to Ogman .
“This… Sky-piercing City is too far . ”
Ogman was somewhat unwilling . After all, Sky-piercing City was too distant from Qatar City . The journey would take an unknown amount of time .
“Naturally, this won’t be a fruitless errand for you . ”
A smirk tugged at Merlin’s lips . Thereafter, he stretched out one hand, exuding an invisible force . Although he did not unleash the Illusory World, he could still affect Bluewater World .
“Hum hum hum . ”
The air seemed to vibrate . Strands of scorching energy swiftly gathered in Merlin’s hand in a growing amount . Ogman was incomparably shocked .
“Go!’
After Merlin spoke, this blazing energy instantly flew toward Ogman and entered his body . At the same time, Ogman felt the Power Seed in his body expanding at a rapid pace . This pace of progress was something he had not even dreamed of for it was inconceivable .
One time, two times, three times… Five times!
His Power Seed had expanded five times in a short instant . Moreover, nothing was compromised and his foundation even grew sturdier . He waved his hand and could sense the abundant energy in his body that seemed inexhaustible .
A change like this truly caused Ogman to feel as if he was in a dream . He found it difficult to imagine that Merlin’s single wave could increase his capability five times over .
“So?”
Merlin narrowed his eyes and asked .
“Very well… I’ll bring both of you to Sky-piercing City . ”
Ogman did not hesitate at all and immediately agreed .
Merlin and Aruba did not hesitate too . They left immediately, hurrying toward Sky-piercing City . On their way, both of them constantly learned more about Moorta from Ogman .
Moorta was known as a legend and was the only Sanctuary Contender in this entire world . He could practically be called the only “god” of this world .
Merlin and Aruba’s expressions grew more solemn . Ever since they understood that fact, it seemed like Moorta was truly the person most likely to become a Free Being in Bluewater World .
“It looks like we must hurry even more . Otherwise, Naya might already have influenced Moorta significantly . ”
Currently, they could nearly confirm that Naya was surely near Moorta .
The distance between Qatar City and Sky-piercing City was far indeed . Merlin and Aruba used a full month to reach Sky-piercing City . Of course, one of the main reasons for this was that Ogman was too slow .
In this period, Merlin had even constantly helped Ogman to replenish his strength . Throughout their journey, Ogman had reaped many benefits, so he was endlessly delighted .

“Sky-piercing City should be up ahead . ”
Merlin followed Ogman’s gaze and saw that there was a city in the distant sky . Nonetheless, it was built high up in the clouds . From a distance, it looked like a city in the air and appeared very mystical .
A trick like this was not even worth mentioning to Merlin and Aruba but for someone in a Latitude Cosmos to have such an ability was not too shabby . This Sky-piercing City was constructed by Moorta, which showed that his capability had reached an unimaginable stage .
“I’m afraid I can’t get into Sky-piercing City . ”
Ogman shook his head . A low-level contender like him could not enter Sky-piercing City at all . Only those high-end contenders could go in . Ogman could not even fly through thin air . Otherwise, their journey would not have taken such a long time .
“Alright, since we’ve reached Sky-piercing City, you’ve done your best . This is your reward . ”
Merlin once again gathered a tremendous amount of the sun’s energy and directly boosted Ogman’s Power Seed many times over . This was forcibly stretching Ogman’s limits . With his potential, he would never become such a powerful master in his lifetime but with Merlin’s forceful boosting, he had already broken past his limits .
Furthermore, in the future, if Ogman was diligent and lucky, he could even go one step further and reach unlimited potential .
“Haha, thank you, honorable sirs!”
Ogman was wild with joy as his respectful gaze followed Merlin and Aruba who rose up in the sky, flying toward Sky-piercing City .
Sky-piercing City was shrouded in a layer of cloud . From a distance, it looked very hazy but once they got nearer, they exchanged a glance, both sensing the seriousness in the other’s expression .
It turned out that above Sky-piercing City, they had already detected the intense will of Bluewater World . This indicated that Moorta might already be in contact with the world’s will . If his strength was further increased and his opportunity arose, he might break free from the restriction of the world’s will and become a Free Being .
“It’s Moorta! We must hurry up and immediately go and see him . ”
A grave look came over Merlin’s face .
“Swoosh swoosh . ”
Both of them swiftly flew into the clouds of Sky-piercing City . As soon as they entered, Merlin and Aruba sensed something different . Around them, the world’s will seemed to be observing them at all times, giving them immense pressure .
Of course, this pressure was nothing . After all, they could easily wipe out a Latitude Cosmos . Why would they fear a mere will of the world? This meant that Moorta had contacted the world’s will for a long time . His capability was immeasurable and might already be right behind a Free Being .

Sky-piercing City was very spacious and the population was sparse . After all, only those few masters could enter this place .
“Where’s Moorta? I’ll ask someone at random . ”
Just as Merlin was about to make his inquiries, two vast, enormous bursts of energy fluctuations spread out in all directions and they even contained a trace of the world’s will .
“Could it be Mino challenging Sir Moorta again?”
“Mino had challenged Sir Moorta a few times but Sir Moorta is a Sanctuary Contender, the only one here . How can Mino be a match for him?”
“His previous escapes were all extreme flukes . This time, I’m afraid Mino won’t be so lucky . ”
Merlin and Aruba exchanged a look . Naturally, they had paid attention to all these talks . They immediately thought of that mysterious person Ogman mentioned who had continuously challenged Moorta and escaped unscathed every time .
Now, it appeared that this must be “Mino” .
“There’s no time to waste . Let’s have a look . ”
Merlin’s heart leaped . Now was the best time to observe whether Moorta had the potential to become a Free Being .
Therefore, Aruba and Merlin quickly flew toward the center of those fluctuations . Currently, it was not just Aruba and Merlin . Many contenders who were originally in Sky-piercing City also headed toward the center of the battle .
Soon, Merlin spotted the violent battle fluctuations ahead . Waves of immense sun energy swept out in all directions just like an actual sun and viciously crashed into a thin, frail man .
This man did not look old and his energy fluctuations were very peculiar . They were not from any celestial body but still had an astonishing force .
Nonetheless, compared to the mighty power of the sun, it was lacking by much . There was even an essential gap .
Naturally, Moorta had the upper hand . He was a Sanctuary Contender and his aura could even suppress the world’s will . Merlin and Aruba both felt rather incredulous upon seeing a contender like this . This was the final, key stage to becoming a Free Being .
“Naya is right behind Moorta! Indeed, Naya had reached out to Moorta before us . Now, he had already gained Moorta’s trust . It’d be very difficult for us to approach Moorta now . Even if we can earn his trust, he’s about to take the crucial step . Even if we join in now, after he’s become a Free Being, our position in his heart wouldn’t match up to Naya by far . Won’t it be a waste of effort then?”
Aruba’s analysis was very pertinent . If they “joined” Moorta now, they would be suppressed by Naya completely and only waste their efforts . It must be known that this mission was all about the Free Being’s own decision . Naya had been by Moorta’s side for so long . It was impossible that Merlin and Aruba could easily topple Naya’s position by showing up now .

“If we can’t select Moorta, who can we pick?”
Merlin mumbled softly . At this point, he was looking at Mino who was bitterly holding on with a determined look . This man had fallen into a complete disadvantage now . The Power Seed in his body was nearly used up .
If he did not have any techniques left, it would be difficult for him to escape death .
“Moorta, I’ll come back again . ”
Mino clenched his jaw . Mysterious fluctuations emerged all around him . They seemed to fit well with the fluctuations of the world’s will .
“Whiz . ”
Mino’s figure appeared in thin air . He vanished before everyone’s eyes as if he had never appeared .
“He’s escaped again? Mino’s ability is truly unusual!”
The surrounding people were still gasping in amazement but it seemed that they were no longer unfamiliar with Mino’s ability . Mino had escaped using the same trick the past few times .
“Still trying to escape this time?”
Moorta who had remained calm all this while suddenly broke out into an icy smirk .
