Evan had no idea about the precarious situation of Thousand swords kingdom. He was busy in his cultivation inside the ancestoral land of the Hendrickson family. After honing his basic sword skill to perfection, he again started cultivating to attain the late stage of the Meridian opening realm.
The ancestoral land of Hendrickson family was devoid of sun and moon. Within this sealed world even the the energy of heaven and earth was not present. There was only one element present in this sealed world, that was darkness. Compared to the world of outside, the darkness element inside the ancestoral land of Hendrickson family was more pure and concentrated. If Evan had to cultivate outside, then he would have taken two times more amount of time to reach his current cultivation level.
