After transferring the authority of this Little World to Milton Cheney, he left directly.
There was still a lot he had to do, so naturally, he wouldn’t linger for too long around Milton Cheney.
Although Milton Cheney was a Reincarnation of an Immortal Being, at this time he was merely a Longevity Cultivator.
Moreover, since he had already made a covenant with Milton Cheney through the Heavenly Path, he naturally wouldn’t regard him as importantly as he did at the beginning.
Over the years, due to his urgent struggle for resources, he had offended many people with whom he previously maintained good relations.
However, these were people he had carefully selected as ones he could afford to offend, at least in terms of status, they had a significant disparity with him, the highest amongst them was merely an outstanding figure among the Inner Sect Disciples.
Compared to him, a Direct Disciple of the Steward’s Hall, the gap was indeed substantial.
He wasn’t foolish; those he couldn’t afford to offend, of course, he wouldn’t touch.
In theory, even if these people harbored resentment towards him, they would be powerless and could only suffer in silence.
But he had been careless.
What he hadn’t expected was that a person who seemed to have no background in his investigations would suddenly emerge with the identity of a Direct Disciple of the Immortal Law Pavilion.
Due to the information gap, he got outmaneuvered by that Direct Disciple, and although the loss wasn’t disastrous, it was still quite significant.
But this kind of loss was actually avoidable.
That’s why he was in a bad mood at the moment.
Within the Little World, Milton Cheney’s gaze lingered at the spot where Steward Chuan disappeared, a hint of contemplation coloring his eyes.
He had naturally noticed Steward Chuan’s unusual behavior.
After all, Steward Chuan didn’t bother to hide his emotions in front of Milton Cheney, one of his own.
Although Milton Cheney was unclear about what had happened to Steward Chuan, he presumed it was probably nothing good.
He just hoped that Steward Chuan wouldn’t die.
Otherwise, wouldn’t he be unable to take advantage of Steward Chuan anymore?
However, it was probably not that coincidental; he wasn’t a harbinger of disaster, and there was no reason for something that was fine before to suddenly become a problem now.
Thinking this, Milton Cheney didn’t dwell on it any longer.
By now, he had officially become a disciple of the Black Moon Sect, although just an Outer Sect Disciple, but he had secured a foothold in the Immortal Realm nonetheless.
After all, the Black Moon Sect was no minor sect.
This sect, under the command of the Azure Heaven Immortal Court, was one of the large sects.
The Black Moon Sect had even produced quite a few Immortal Beings who held positions within the Immortal Court.
Of course, once these Immortal Beings had joined the Immortal Court, they essentially held no affiliation with the Black Moon Sect any longer.
Therefore, there were no Immortal Beings stationed within the sect.
However, the absence of Immortal Beings did not mean that the sect was weak.
Because whether from minor sects or major sects, all Cultivators who broke through to the Immortal Human Realm were obligated to join the Immortal Court.
In the Immortal Realm, only the forces of the Immortal Court could possess Immortal Beings.
Of course, after becoming an Immortal Being, one could choose to join the Immortal Court or not.
But if one chose not to join the associated Immortal Court, they could not continue to stay within the sect, nor could they have unauthorized contact with the sect.
One could only become a Loose Immortal.
Loose Immortals were not allowed to establish a sect on their own.
Thus, even though there appeared to be numerous sects within the Immortal Realm, the strongest leaders of these sects were merely Loose Immortals.
The Black Moon Sect was no exception, and its Sect Leader was also a Loose Immortal.
Milton Cheney had been somewhat puzzled when he learned about this initially.
He wondered how a Loose Immortal could control a sect?
After all, there were too many within a sect who had cultivated to the Loose Immortal Realm.
It’s worth noting that within the Black Moon Sect, Direct Disciples were Loose Immortals, and even some powerful Inner Sect Disciples possessed the cultivation of Loose Immortals.
But later Milton Cheney came to understand.
The Sect Leader of the Black Moon Sect controlled an Immortal Artifact.
And an Immortal Artifact was the biggest difference between a sect’s leader and an ordinary Loose Immortal Cultivator.
A Loose Immortal who controlled an Immortal Artifact was even referred to as a Pseudo-Immortal in the Immortal Realm, ranking just below true Immortal Beings.
Of course, that was just one aspect.
Another was the background.
The Black Moon Sect, as one of the large sects under the Azure Heaven Immortal Court, although without an Immortal Being at the helm, still had the backing of Immortal Beings.
Having connections “upstairs” made things easier, and this adage was equally applicable to the Black Moon Sect.
After all, the Black Moon Sect had produced numerous Immortal Beings, and while these beings seemed to cut ties with the Black Moon Sect upon joining the Immortal Court, in truth, they still held affection for it.
Most of the Immortal Beings that left the Black Moon Sect had been its Sect Leaders before joining the Immortal Court.
If the sect were ever in trouble, those Immortal Beings would not stand idly by.
This is why the Black Moon Sect could be regarded as one of the major sects under the Azure Heaven Immortal Court.
Having Immortal Court backing meant that even though the Black Moon Sect did not have an Immortal Being at the helm, Loose Immortal Cultivators would not dare to offend it lightly.
Actually, in the Immortal Realm, Loose Immortals were not numerous.
Choosing to become a Loose Immortal entailed being bound by numerous limitations.
There were many they could not offend.
Compared to Immortal Beings with Immortal Court backing, they were decidedly inferior.
Of course, becoming a Loose Immortal did have its benefits, perhaps the only advantage being freedom.
However, this was not something Milton Cheney needed to consider, as he was far too distant from that Realm.
