Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100

Chapter 1679 Night of the Banquet!

It was already midnight, and the entire Violet Star Palace had transformed into a magnificent sea of lights.

Every palace building, courtyard, bridge, and pavilion throughout the enormous sect grounds had been decorated beautifully for the banquet. Countless spirit lanterns floated through the sky like glowing stars while streams of colorful spiritual light illuminated the night from every direction.

The atmosphere throughout the Violet Star Palace was lively and celebratory.

Music echoed continuously across the palace grounds while disciples and elders from the various third-rate forces gathered together in large numbers. Some discussed the Smelting Trial enthusiastically while others exchanged cultivation experiences and formed new connections before the coming Cosmic Ascension Conference.

The banquet itself was grand.

Long tables filled with rare spiritual foods, wines, and precious fruits stretched across the main banquet area while beautiful spirit dancers performed beneath the glowing lights.

Everywhere one looked, laughter and conversation filled the surroundings.

However, despite the lively atmosphere, one topic remained at the center of nearly every discussion.

Max Morgan.

Many younger geniuses continued speaking about his overwhelming performance during the Smelting Trial, especially his battle against Ray Willer and the shocking display of strength he revealed inside the Tower of Treasure.

Meanwhile, Max himself had only briefly attended the banquet.

Outwardly, he maintained enough appearances to avoid attracting suspicion by disappearing entirely. He calmly exchanged a few conversations with several elders and disciples before quietly leaving the banquet grounds afterward.

Very few people noticed his departure amidst the enormous gathering.

Soon afterward, Max returned directly to the mansion assigned to the Black Dragon Clan.

The moment he entered his room, the calm expression on his face gradually became more serious.

Then, his figure disappeared completely from the room and entered the Dimension of Genesis.

After entering the Dimension of Genesis, Max did not immediately head toward the meeting hall Isabella had prepared earlier.

Instead, he first went to meet Alice and Lenavira.

The peaceful atmosphere inside the Dimension of Genesis felt completely different from the lively banquet outside the Violet Star Palace. The surrounding land was calm and quiet while dense spiritual energy flowed naturally throughout the entire dimension.

Soon, Max arrived at the area where Alice and Lenavira were currently staying.

The moment Alice noticed him approaching, her eyes immediately brightened.

"You finally came back," she said while quickly walking toward him. "Do you know how boring it gets staying here sometimes?"

Meanwhile, Lenavira simply smiled faintly from the side while looking toward Max calmly.

Max chuckled lightly after hearing Alice complain.

"The Smelting Trial only ended recently," he replied helplessly. "Naturally, I had many things to deal with outside first."

Alice immediately crossed her arms afterward.

"Still," she muttered, "you disappear for long periods every single time."

Max only smiled slightly before changing the topic.

"Actually," he said calmly, "once we return to the Black Dragon Clan, the two of you will get to meet several interesting people."

The moment those words were spoken, Alice immediately became curious.

"Interesting people?" she repeated quickly.

Even Lenavira's gaze shifted toward Max with slight interest afterward.

Max nodded lightly.

"They are indeed very interesting people."

However, despite saying that much, Max did not reveal anything else afterward.

The interesting people were of course his spirit Lily and the little dragon Vormir. Max hadn't got the time to introduce Alice and Lenavira to Lily and Vormir because of the Smelting Trial but now that this trial had ended, Max felt that it was time they finally meet each other.

Alice immediately narrowed her eyes suspiciously.

"Who exactly are they?" she asked quickly.

Max merely smiled calmly.

"That," he replied casually, "is still a secret for now."

Alice instantly became dissatisfied after hearing that answer.

"A secret again?" she complained immediately. "Why do you keep making everything sound mysterious lately?"

Then she quickly stepped closer toward Max while continuing to question him endlessly.

"Are they strong?"

"Are they from the Violet Star Palace?"

"Are they geniuses from the Smelting Trial?"

"Are there many of them?"

However, no matter how many questions Alice asked continuously, Max never directly answered any of them.

Instead, he simply smiled faintly every single time.

"You will find out soon enough," he replied calmly.

Alice immediately pouted in frustration afterward.

"You are doing this on purpose," she muttered unhappily.

Meanwhile, Lenavira quietly watched the exchange between the two with amusement visible within her eyes.

Clearly, she already understood that Max deliberately intended to keep the matter hidden for now.

Eventually, after speaking with the two of them for some time longer, Max finally turned toward the direction of the meeting hall Isabella had prepared earlier.

Tonight—

The first true gathering of his secret force was about to begin.

"Alright," Max said while lightly patting both Alice and Lenavira on the head. "I still have some important matters to deal with first, so I will see the two of you later."

Alice immediately looked slightly dissatisfied again.

"You always say that," she muttered quietly.

Meanwhile, Lenavira simply smiled gently afterward.

"That is fine," she said calmly. "Dinner is almost ready anyway. Once you finish your work, come eat with us."

The moment those words entered his ears, a genuinely warm smile slowly appeared across Max's face.

"That sounds perfect," he replied while nodding lightly. "I should be back within a few hours."

As he spoke those words, a faint sense of warmth quietly rose within Max's heart.

Ever since Alice and Lenavira had arrived inside the Dimension of Genesis, the atmosphere here had gradually begun changing little by little. What was once merely an empty independent world had slowly started feeling more alive.

And although Max remained extremely busy most of the time with cultivation, battles, and endless responsibilities, he still tried his best to spend time with them whenever possible.

In fact, after returning to the Dimension of Genesis repeatedly over time, Max had gradually developed a habit.

Whenever he was free, he would eat dinner together with Alice, Lenavira, and Isabella.

Sometimes they simply talked casually.

Sometimes Alice complained endlessly about how boring cultivation was.

Other times Isabella discussed matters related to the secret domain while Lenavira quietly listened nearby.

They were simple moments.

Yet strangely—

Max found himself valuing those moments more and more.

Because despite all the dangers surrounding him constantly, those peaceful dinners inside the Dimension of Genesis made the place genuinely begin feeling like home.

Even if he could not remain beside them all the time, Max still tried his best not to completely neglect them.

At the very least, whenever he returned to the Dimension of Genesis, he wanted to spend some time together with them normally.

Meanwhile, after hearing Max agree to return for dinner later, Lenavira's smile deepened slightly.

"We will wait for you then," she said softly.

Max nodded one final time afterward before finally turning around and heading toward the meeting hall prepared by Isabella deeper within the Dimension of Genesis.

By the time Max arrived at the meeting hall inside the Dimension of Genesis, Isabella, Jonathan, and Julie were already waiting there.

The meeting hall itself was surprisingly refined despite being created recently. A large circular table stood at the center of the room while faint silver lights illuminated the surroundings softly. Intricate dimensional patterns could be seen engraved across portions of the walls, causing the entire hall to carry a mysterious atmosphere.

The moment Max entered, the attention of everyone inside immediately shifted toward him.

A faint smile appeared across Max's face afterward.

Then he slowly walked toward the center of the hall before looking directly at Jonathan and Julie.

"First of all," Max said calmly, "welcome to the Crown."

The moment those words were spoken, Jonathan and Julie's expressions changed slightly.

Clearly, this was the first time they had heard the actual name of the secret force.

Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation!
