Floating Island - Triple S Talent

While Lein was lost in thought, Aleron and his team were traveling in a flying car that glided smoothly through the air. The car was designed with a luxurious interior; its seats were upholstered in soft cream-colored material, complemented by a lighting system that created a comfortable atmosphere. They were on their way to explore the natural beauty of the Divine Sky Realm before finally resting at the hotel prepared for them.

Inside the car were six members of Aleron's team, a driver, and the female staff member who had previously guided them at the Alliance building. The woman served as their personal guide, ready to answer any questions or cater to any needs that might arise during the journey. She appeared calm and confident, though her eyes reflected the alertness of a professional.

"Elder Wei," Aleron broke the silence with a voice that was calm yet commanding.

"I heard Mr. Lein's alliance has already opened a branch in the Guandu Realm?"

Elder Wei, who was seated in the back, looked slightly startled by the question. After a brief pause to compose himself, he replied, "Yes, that's correct, sir. Mr. Lein's store is called the Seed Store. In a short time, it has grown remarkably fast," he responded.

Elder Wei continued in a more relaxed tone, explaining to Aleron how the Seed Store had become a phenomenon. At its opening, the store sold goods at slightly lower prices than the market—enough to attract attention but not so much as to raise suspicion.

However, the main draw of the store lay in its seemingly endless stock. No matter how high the demand, the inventory was always available.

"If someone needs something and other stores don't have it, they're usually advised to visit the Seed Store," Elder Wei added with a slight smile, looking proud yet cautious.

Aleron nodded slowly, absorbing the information. "Cheap prices and an endless supply... quite intriguing," he murmured, more to himself than to Elder Wei. However, his expression betrayed a sense of admiration he didn't bother to conceal.

Elder Wei, noticing Aleron's impressed demeanor, quickly continued, "In addition, the Seed Store is also known for its excellent security. At the very least, they have guards at the Golden Core stage (Tier-3) to maintain the store's safety."

Aleron listened with a surprised expression. He had known before that the store was stable, but he had never imagined its security level was this high for a shop selling basic goods.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Why didn't you tell me about this sooner?" Aleron asked, his tone light though his gaze was sharp.

Elder Wei lowered his head slightly, feeling a bit guilty. "Well... although the Seed Store has grown very quickly, it doesn't stand out too much, sir. This is because they only sell basic items for cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage (Tier-2)," he replied with a stiff smile.

Aleron was silent for a moment, pondering the explanation. Indeed, renowned stores usually sold high-level items, such as materials for cultivators at the Golden Core stage and above.

But there was something about the simplicity and strategy of the Seed Store that set it apart. Instead of competing in the luxury goods market, they dominated the consistent demand for basic necessities. That strategy, he thought, was the hidden strength that had allowed the store to thrive.

Seated in the front, Aleron nodded slightly, indicating that he accepted Elder Wei's explanation. He decided not to pursue the matter further. As long as Elder Wei didn't create problems with the Seed Store, their relationship with Lein could remain harmonious.

His gaze then shifted to the car window. His eyes observed the bustling scenery outside. In the sky, various flying vehicles moved alongside them. Not only cars like the one they were riding in but also flat floating platforms, small futuristic aircraft, and several spherical vehicles traveling at constant speeds. All these vehicles created a well-organized air traffic system, as if managed by an invisible yet highly efficient system.

The car they were in began descending gradually. In the distance, Aleron could see the grand sight of the Main Land, the central hub of activity in the Divine Sky Realm.

The Tree of Life Source was also located here, having been relocated by Lein last month.

"We've reached the Main Land, Mr. Aleron," said Ike, the female staff member seated in the front, her voice soft yet professional.

The car continued to descend, and now Aleron could see the tops of the colossal towers standing tall. Skyscrapers of extraordinary height—some even reaching 1,000 kilometers—became clearly visible. These buildings were properties of major alliances that had leased special areas on the Main Land. They were the large alliances that remained loyal to Earth during the selection process involving the Rebirth Stone.

"Were these buildings also constructed a few months ago?" Aleron asked while continuing to admire the view outside. There was a hint of amazement in his voice, though he tried to sound casual.

"Yes, sir," Ike replied.

Aleron let out a light sigh. "Miss Ike, I still find it hard to believe that this realm was only built a few months ago," he said, expressing his deep admiration.

Ike gave a small smile at the remark. "All of this is thanks to Mr. Lein's resources and power, sir. Everything was completed in a very short time," she responded.

Ike's eyes sparkled slightly as she began reminiscing about the early days of construction. She vividly remembered how thousands of buildings were erected in a matter of days, one after another, without pause. Having worked for Lein since the establishment of the World Market Trade Alliance, she had witnessed firsthand the rapid development that felt almost like a miracle.

It wasn't just about wealth and power. All the workers under the alliance carried out their duties exceptionally well. During her time working there, she had never heard of any major problems among employees or any bad incidents.

"Sometimes I think Mr. Lein has the ability to create buildings out of thin air," she said, half-joking.

Aleron listened intently, though he did not comment further. He merely nodded lightly, indicating that he understood. His attention shifted back to the window, where the view of life on the Main Land became increasingly vivid.

The wide streets filled with bustling crowds provided a striking contrast to the busy skies above.

Their faces glowed with joy, full of energy, their smiles never fading. People carried out their activities with an infectious enthusiasm, creating a lively and vibrant atmosphere.

There were families walking together, while a pair of lovers rode bicycles, laughter gracing their faces. Aleron noticed these little details and took a deep breath, as if soaking in the peaceful atmosphere that filled the air. "Is this a holy city?" Aleron wondered to himself. Even the holy cities in the highest realms didn't have citizens who appeared as happy as this.

"Amazing," Aleron murmured softly, almost as if speaking to himself.

Looking around, Aleron marveled at the diversity of building designs on the Main Land. Not all the buildings adopted advanced technology; some used traditional materials like high-quality wood often favored by cultivators. Every building seemed to blend harmoniously with its surroundings, creating a captivating view.

As he continued to observe the city, his gaze landed on a massive tree in the distance. From this range, the trunk of the tree looked enormous, with a diameter of at least five hundred meters. Aleron tried to follow the tree upward, but its top was obscured by a layer of clouds.

"The Tree of Life Source," he murmured again, recognizing the towering tree that pierced the sky.

The car carrying Aleron continued to move slowly, traversing the main streets. Although he could have requested an escort, Aleron deliberately chose to travel without protection to fully enjoy the city's scenery. However, his eyes were drawn to a towering structure in the distance.

"The Sky Tower?" Aleron murmured, this time louder.

The elders with him followed his gaze. Before them stood a tower that stretched straight into the sky, gracefully piercing the clouds. The structure appeared to connect the earth and the heavens.

"A hundred floors?" Elder Wei spoke in amazement, his mouth agape. "The tallest Sky Tower I've ever seen only had 170 floors, and that was thirty thousand years ago."

"You're right," another elder replied, his eyes sparkling with admiration. "This tower will make Mr. Lein's realm famous in the future."

Aleron nodded slightly, his mind busy analyzing the tower. He tried to compare it with the information he already knew. After a moment, he finally confirmed his suspicion, and an expression of astonishment appeared on his face.

"Miss Ike, I just want to confirm. Is death within the tower not real?" Aleron asked Ike, the woman sitting in the front seat.

"Yes, that's correct, sir," Ike replied firmly. "This tower only appeared about a month ago."

"What?" Aleron was shocked but kept it to himself. "Where did this young man get so many Realm Crystals?" he thought, his curiosity mounting.

He knew from a Guardian with a Power System that increasing the number of floors in a Sky Tower required an extraordinary amount of Realm Crystals. Aleron's mind began to race, searching for opportunities. "I hope Mr. Lein still has some left. I want to trade with him," he muttered hopefully.

"Excuse me, Miss Ike," Aleron said politely. "May we visit the Sky Tower first?"

"Of course, sir," Ike replied without hesitation. Her duty was to introduce the Divine Sky Realm to Aleron, and she was ready to comply with the request.

With that, Aleron's car changed direction, heading toward the Sky Tower, leaving the city's sights behind for the time being.
