Way of the Knights

Chapter 762

"Ahh… so Kyle ascended. That explains why I haven't seen him anywhere." 

It's been a few months since the Grand Ancestral Plane evolved.

While the Final Haven Empire was busy in it's reforms and exploration of their new world. Raven and rest relaxed. No one bothered them, well…nobody dared to dared to bother them would be more accurate. 

During these following months, the Empire began scouting the locations marked in map. They started exploring the immediate vicinity of their territory within the wall that Raven built. They harvested resources for the betterment of the Empire. 

Breakthroughs occurred left and right, it wasn't just limited to personal cultivation but also in their lifestyles. Raven watched it all happen but he didn't raise a hand to help, like he said, what comes next will depend on them. 

Raven used majority of his time to reconnect with the people that he knew. He spent more time with his family, taught his twin sisters, spent time with his wife, friends and in-laws as well as the people he worked with before ascending. 

If there's one thing that concerns him right now, it'd be the fact that his only disciple – Kyle was missing, which he thought strange but now he knew where he is. 

Apparently, he ascended to the Divine Realm on his own. He didn't take any trials from the sect, he went to the Divine Realm on his own. 

Raven was a bit worried about his safety, that guy told him that he's going to follow his footsteps but Raven hadn't told him where he is. Heck, he wasn't even well known in the Divine Realm right now. 

Combing the Divine Realm to search for him would be time consuming as well. 

'Perhaps I can ask for the Oriental Dragon Group's help. Maybe I should send an Avatar just in case.' Raven thought to himself. 

He's in lost in his own sea of thoughts for a bit. He was only pulled-out of it when he felt a pair of smooth and slender arms wrapping around him from behind. A smile tugged on his lips as he held on these arms, he peeked behind and saw his beautiful wife groggily yawning while hugging him. 

"Morning." He greeted, he pulled Luna to his embrace and kissed her forehead. 

"Morning." Luna hummed as she felt the familiar warmth of her husband's body.

"Want to sleep more?" Raven asked. 

"…don't know." She murmured, she tightened her hug as she said: "I wanna wake up, but I also feel like sleeping some more. What do I do?"

Raven chuckled as he childishness. Both of them were standing but Luna looked like she's snuggling on his chest. 

"Perhaps some breakfast can help?" 

"Maybe." 

"Want to eat it in bed?" 

"Yes, please?"

"Alright. You go back there. I'll go to the kitchen." Raven patted Luna's head. She nodded and plopped on the bed while Raven left to prepare breakfast. 

The two of them are currently boarding a floating vessel that's riding the clouds. They decided that their home would be the skies while they're here. Raven made sure that their privacy won't be disturbed by the eager folks of the empire so he only left a one way communication crystal. If they needed them, they can use the crystal to contact them, otherwise, they are expected to leave them alone.

A couple of minutes later, Raven returned to their bedroom with breakfast. He chuckled after seeing Luna fighting the urge to not fall asleep, nodding every now and then. 

"Hey, come on sit properly." Raven said in a amusement. 

Luna made some space and Raven sat beside her. She then wormed her way onto his embrace once more, humming in content after feeling the familiar warmth. Raven smiled and looked at her affectionately. 

He left the tray in the air as he adjusted Luna's position so that her back was resting on his chest. He then beckoned the tray and it flew down on her lap. 

"Drink some tea, that should wake you up a bit." 

Luna nodded at that, she reached out for the warm tea and took a sip. Their breakfast is a warm bowl of soup and bread. It isn't anything special but it's enough. The two of them didn't really need a special meal, in fact they didn't need to eat at all. 

The food and tea was enough to wake Luna up a bit. After finishing their light breakfast, Raven placed the tray on the bedside table and cuddled with his wife on the bed. 

Although Luna's awake now, the warmth of her husband's embrace was lulling her back to sleep. Meanwhile, Raven was bit absorbed in his own thoughts. He then said:

"I think we should leave some legacies behind." 

"…yeah. We probably should. Or we can at least accept some disciples." Luna replied, no longer sounding groggy.

"Well, my disciple is apparently in the Divine Realm right now." Raven pursed lips, "I don't know where he is currently but the karmic link between me and him remains, meaning that he's alive at least."

"Kyle went there?" Luna raised a brow. "I hope he's doing well then." 

"I hope so too." Raven sighed, "I'm worried about he's homecoming though. He isn't informed about the evolution of this world and its new coordinates. What if he returns to the previous location and find it missing, that will cause some misunderstanding." 

"We'll build a spatial tunnel right?" Luna asked, to which Raven nodded, "Well, we can add a 'resonance' function at least. That way, if he ever wants to return, the resonance will lead him here. How long has it been since he left anyway?" 

"Just after the Empire's establishment, roughly a decade ago." Raven replied, "Well, I guess the resonance function will work. I just hope he doesn't get too confused."

"Avi, your disciple's not a child." Luna lovingly re-assured him, "He'll be fine. He needs to grow up remember?" 

Raven chuckled wryly and replied: "Yeah. I should have more faith in him." 

"We can raise more disciples at least." Raven thought to himself, "I wouldn't be a bad choice to raise some protectors for this world so that we can focus on the tasks at hand." 

"We can scatter legacies all over the world." Luna suggested, "We can use that to gauge somebody's potential. If they're good, we can accept them as disciples. We can even invite them to our respective sects."

"That's true." Raven nodded, " I also plan on getting some trial tokens from the famous sects around the Divine Realm to expand their choices. That being said, the world's no longer a small one. If anything I'd say that this world is even better than the others so I don't think there's a need for that."

"We can establish Sect Branches if you want." Luna murmured, "I mean, my sect's conditions for passing are very hard but we can really use more people."

"The same can be said for us." Raven nodded. "But we're on the verge of war so it would be unwise to do recruit for now or even build a Sect Branch here. We can set it up at a later date I guess. We'll see." 

"Right." Luna hummed as she snuggled onto his chest some more. "I feel lazy today." 

"We can afford to be lazy at least." Raven chuckled, "We're on a vacation after all." 

"Yep." Luna nodded, "We can relax for now, away from all the headaches that Divine Realm is."

"True." Raven laughed at bit, he pulled his wife close and kissed her. Luna smiled at the affection she's receiving from her husband. 

They snuggled on the bed, cherishing the peace and quiet of a mundane life. There's no distractions, no pretenses, no paper works or errands, no stress and more importantly, no fighting. Just pure bliss and peace. A life that the two of them and their future family wants.

"I wish we can stay like this forever." Luna murmured, half asleep on Raven's chest. 

"Sorry." Raven muttered as he stared blankly at the ceiling. 

"Don't be." Luna replied, "It's not your fault. You only want the best for us, that much I can understand." 

"Even if this is temporary, this is still good enough." Luna added, "And it's not like we're deliberately slacking off either. We know that you're working hard to achieve the ending you wanted. Don't worry…I'll be right here to support you." 

Raven smiled as he hugged his wife close. He knows that despite her mumbling, her words were coming from the depth of her heart. 

"Thank you." Raven kissed her forehead and allowed her to sleep. 

She was right. He's not fighting alone. Everything he did was for the ending he wanted for him and his loved ones. He wanted to give them a better tomorrow and a peaceful life. For that, he never hesitates, even if it means putting himself in danger. 

This brief period of respite is something that the two of them wanted to cherish. And if Raven were to succeed in his advent, it is possible that they can enjoy a future like this perpetually.
