SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

Confusion and frustration simmered among the large number of disciples who stood outside empty place of missing treasure trove palace. The treasure trove palace had vanished, and rumors began to spread like wildfire.

"What happened to the treasure trove palace?" one of the demonic tree sect disciples demanded, his voice tinged with anger and suspicion.

The Ice Castle sect members murmured among themselves, their eyes flickering with concern and curiosity. Princess Eila joined with her group. Her face filled frustration. She lost her precious first time, just for few talismans.

"It seems the treasure has been claimed. We must accept that it is no longer here and move on." Eila said, her voice steady.

"But who took it?" one of her sect members asked. "And where did it go?"

But Eila didn't answer them. She stared at the empty space for a long time, before taking her group away for finding other treasures.

Celestial water family princess, commanded her members to move away. "It's clear that someone got their hands on the treasure. We need to focus on finding other opportunities. The real inheritance is still waiting for us."

But Maya, however, was not so easily accepted defeat. Her eyes blazed with anger, and she clenched her fists tightly. "This isn't over. We can't let Kent get away with it. We need to find him and take back what belongs to us!"

The strong man who came as Dao partner for Maya stepped forward, announcing his opinion. "Yes, we can't let him escape. Don't worry princes. After killing him, you will receive the inheritance."

As the groups continued to discuss their next steps, Jia and the other two girls [Kelly and Eila] remained silent about what happened with Kent. They had no intention of revealing that Kent had successfully merged with the Lust Goddess spirit and taken the treasure.

Eventually, the groups came to a reluctant agreement. They couldn't stay at the tower forever, and there were other treasures to be found. With a mixture of hope and determination, they dispersed, each faction setting off in different directions.

"We'll find other treasures, we have the skills and the strength to succeed." Kelly said reassuringly to her sect.

The demonic tree sect, however, had other plans. As the groups moved away, Maya pulled her closest disciples aside, her eyes filled with a cold resolve.

After a day of searching, rumors of a new treasure spread among the groups. It is an herb garden which spreads hundreds of miles. But the entrance was guarded by warrior puppet soldiers.

They converged upon a vast, beautiful garden filled with rare and valuable spirit herbs. The garden, however, was heavily guarded by formidable defense creatures.

"This is it. This could be our chance." Kelly said, her eyes lighting up at the sight of the spirit herbs.

Eila, standing before her female group, began making a plan for clearing the defense of the herb garden. "We need to be careful. These defense guards won't be easy to overcome."

As they watched, other groups began to arrive, each one eyeing the garden with a mixture of greed and determination. Tensions ran high as everyone prepared for the challenge ahead.

"We need to work together. If we join forces, we can take down the guards and share the rewards." One of the Eternal Monsoon sect disciples suggested to Maya, his eyes scanning the gathered factions.

Maya, however, had other ideas. Her mind was still set on finding Kent, but she couldn't ignore the opportunity before them. "Let's focus on the task at hand. We'll deal with Kent later." She commanded her group and moved in formation with Eternal Monsson sect disciples.

With a mixture of cooperation and rivalry, the groups began to strategize, each one eager to claim the spirit herbs for themselves. As the defense guards moved to attack, the air filled with the sounds of battle and the clash of weapons.

The defense guards were formidable opponents, their strength and resilience testing even the most skilled cultivators. As the groups fought, alliances were formed and broken in the heat of battle. Continue your saga on empireNôv(el)B\\jnn

"Focus on the weak points! Combine our spells." Kelly shouted, directing her sect members.

Eila moved with grace and precision, her ice spells failing to free the guards in their tracks. "Keep pushing forward! We need to reach the gates of the garden!"

Maya, driven by a mix of rage and ambition, fought with a ferocity that left her enemies reeling. Her eyes scanned the battlefield, always searching for any sign of Kent. "We need to secure this treasure. Don't give chance for others!"

As the battle raged on, it became clear that the groups were evenly matched. The defense guards were powerful, but the cultivators were determined. Slowly, they began to gain the upper hand, their combined efforts weakening the guards' defenses.

When the last of the defense guards fell, the garden was silent except for the heavy breathing of the victors. The herb garden gates lay before them, a tempting reward for their efforts.

"Let's Go. Break these gates!" All the groups began attacking the large entrance gate with combined spells.

As the last of the defense inscription fell, the tightly sealed gates of the garden creaked open, revealing a lush expanse filled with vibrant, glowing herbs. The air was thick with the potent aroma of magic and life, each plant radiating with a unique energy. The cultivators who had fought so fiercely to gain access to the garden stared in awe at the sight before them.

"This is incredible. Look at all these spirit herbs!" Kelly whispered, her eyes wide with wonder.

Princess Eila hurried her group, her gaze sweeping over the garden. "There are so many different types. This must be the Garden of Celestial Herbs."

Among the herbs, there were, Silver Lotus Blossoms, Known for their healing properties, capable of curing even the most severe injuries and illnesses.

Crimson Flame Flowers, used to enhance fire-based spells and techniques, increasing their power exponentially.

Azure Dream Leaves, a rare herb that can enhance spiritual awareness and strengthen one's soul.

Golden Root Ginseng. Renowned for boosting physical strength and endurance, often sought by warriors.

Maya's eyes glinted with greed as she surveyed the garden. "These herbs could make us invincible. We can't waste any time. Start gathering them!"

As these are spirit herbs, people didn't rush forward to grab. For gaining one herb, it takes hours. Because of this reason, people began searching for a valuable herb, instead of fighting like headless mob.
