Cultivation knew no passage of time.
Having discovered a place of Flame Law with immense exploratory value, Saine and Gongsun Wudi temporarily settled down in this Large Fire Element Plane.
And once they stayed, it was for nearly ten years.
Gongsun Wudi was a low-key, approachable Princess. Given her status, her arrival in this large plane subordinate to the Tianming Empire should inevitably have drawn the local bureaucrats' flattery and fawning.
But Gongsun Wudi seemed to have anticipated this, and deliberately concealed both her whereabouts and identity.

Great Demon King Piccolo had relied on special magical equipment forged for him by Wizard Civilization to suppress his excessive power and intimidating aura.
Yet Gongsun Wudi had nothing at all. She merely stood there quietly, and if one did not observe carefully, she could even blend into the surrounding environment.
Saine did not know whether this meant Gongsun Wudi's realm was even higher than Piccolo's.
Or whether it was the result of the different cultivation systems of their two World Civilizations.
