Chapter 75 - 10th Continent

"What do you mean a kingdom of your own?" Zo asked in confusion.

"Well it's just as it sounds, I want to start my own kingdom. Well, more specifically a continent of my own. You should already know that the 10th continent is completely deserted so I have taken the liberty of making it into a safe haven for those who have to live in the dark districts. After I do that, I will take control over the other 9 kingdoms so that a war between different kingdoms won't exist, instead everyone can live happily," Julius told Zo his ambitious plan.

"You realize that the 10th continent is a wasteland right?" Zo asked him.

"Yes I know, however, I have already found strong allies who have secret arts which can bring life to it. They're probably bringing plant life to it as we speak. Just to clarify, they're ancient weapons from 200 years ago which have managed to attain the the maximum rank in cultivation through meditation. There are 5 of them which are all capable of taking on 2 great kingdom rulers each if such a battle were to occur. My job would be to take care of their armies or vide versa with me being the one to take on the 9 rulers," Julius explained.

"Are you sure you want to be telling me all of this? I might just backstab you," said Zo.

"Don't worry about that. I mean I managed to make 5, rank 20 people join my side so there much be something good about it right?" Julius asked her back.

"Well I guess that's true. I didn't plan on turning my back on you in the first place. I guess I'll agree to help you," said Zo.

"Great! Sorry for taking your dagger, you can have it back now. I just wanted to see how I would match up against you," said Julius as he prepared to hand over the monster core infused dagger back to Zo.

"No please keep it, think of it as a gift to my new king," said Zo as she pushed back the dagger so that Julius could keep it which he replied back to her with a strong nod as he tried to stop himself from crying as he had just managed to get another powerful ally at his side.

"So what do you want me to do now?" Zo asked Julius.

"To be perfectly honest, I'm still not done my training. Although my status points are pretty high, I still need to get my intelligence to grow and also my bravery as over as well. Along side that, I should probably start going into dungeons as well. So for the time being, I don't want you to waste your time watching over me like a baby sitter, instead, please begin to train harder as well so that when the time comes, you can battle along side me to the best of your abilities," said Julius which Zo simply nodded strongly to before going off on her way to complete the task she had been assigned by her new king.

"Wow, you really have a knack for getting people to follow you," said Jun as he saw Julius wave goodbye to Zo.

"I guess so. I'm just glad to have her on our side. Speaking of getting people on our side, when can we go and recruit Dae and Knight, you said that those two have the ability to summon the dead and create an army for us right?" Julius asked his master.

"Yes I did. However let us leave that for another time. For now, let's get you to train your intelligence," said Jun.

"You keep saying that but how do I do that?" Julius asked his teacher.

"Well, I guess it's time for you to finally receive this gift…" said Jun as he began to make his big announcement.

"Julius Henry, I would like to congratulate you on gaining the right to go into the library of the limitless. You will go in there to complete the next stages of your training," Jun announced which caught Julius by surprise.

"Wait so you're saying I can really go inside the library of the limitless?! I will have access to all the scrolls and books the world will have to offer!" Julius said with an excited tone.

"Hold on there, you jumped the gun there. I didn't say that you would be able to touch the scrolls, only that you'll be able to read the books the have there to increase your intelligence," Jun replied to his student.

…

"Wow, way to ruin the mood. Now I don't even want to go there," said Julius in a lazy tone as he looked at the ground for something interesting to do.

"Come on! This is a big deal! People would kill to be in your shoes! Anyway, you shouldn't worry about the scrolls too much right now. You're almost there since after you train you intelligence, all you'll have to worry about is bravery which you can attain from going to to dungeons. You'll be killing 2 birds with one stone," Jun tried to bring excitement back into Julius.

"Okay fine, but after that I won't agree to wait any longer, I'm tired of only having one secret art while you and the second entity have multiple," said Julius as he finally agreed to the conditions which his master had set.

"So when do we go to the library?" Julius asked.

"I mean, it looks like you don't have anything else to worry about so how about we go right now?" Jun offered his student.

"That's fine by me, I been getting tired of running without being able to improve anyway," said Julius as he began to climb the mountain before finally reaching the mountain top in about 2 minutes.

The two of them finally got on the jade dragon before once again taking flight to go to their next destination just as they had done so many times.. Although it looked like Julius was nearing the end of his journey to become the strongest person in the world so he could rule over his very own kingdom, that journey was just starting.
