Aryan jumped off the pillow, that he could make float behind him, and picked up the remaining Spirit Fruit, he then got back on the pillow, laid down on its heavenly comfortable surface, and gulped down the fruit before deciding to be put to sleep for one whole year or if an extremely powerful creature arrived, and with a relaxed sigh, Aryan fell into the deepest sleep imaginable.
1 year later.
A group of 3,1 male adult and 2 teens, 1 a boy and the other a girl, clad in black robes, were running through the forest at high speeds, the oldest man of the group, that seemed to be the leader said, "Be careful from this point, there is a tribe of Iron Fur Monkeys, with even the normal ones being extremely strong, if we meet a troop of them we won't stand a chance.", the 2 teens put on a serious face and were on the constant lookout, however all of a sudden the boy stops and points in a certain direction, "Master Ian, look!", Master Ian quickly stopped and looked in the direction the boy was pointing at, the moment he saw it an astonished expression appeared on his face. About 30 metres away was a handsome young man, about 16 with his eyes closed laying on a floating pillow that slowly travelled through the winding trees, dodging any in its path. As if sensing the staring, Aryan awoke from his nap and looked at the people from below, "Perfect!", he put the pillow away and jumped up to the new visitors, who reacted with caution and backed away, "Who are you?!", asked the boy with caution, however, completely ignoring the boy Aryan looked towards the oldest of the group, guessing he was the leader and asked, "Do you know where the Forgotten Sect is?", a little bit surprised by the question, Master Ian stayed composed and returned, "If you travel east from here you will come across a mountain range, after travelling through the deepest valley you will come across a city where the Forgotten Sect is.", to which Aryan replied "Thank you.", before jumping above the canopy and laying on his pillow, and started travelling east.
Deciding to use this time to saturate the 6th layer of his Sovereignty Seed, Aryan floated above the tree line and set the Pillow Of Serenity to travel east, after travelling for about a month Aryan finally arrived at a mountain range, before he quickly headed through the deepest valley. After the month of travelling out of the forest, Aryan increased s bodily strength and EP reserves, as well as finally completed the 6th layer, giving him access to 6 stances which are: Come Forth - Ability to attract reality and its items, Begone - ability to repulse reality and its item, Kneel - the ability to place the weight of reality upon someone, Rise - ability to adjust reality to boost teammates, Absolution - a right punch that wipes out evil and absolves sin and the most recent, Pernicious - a left punch that causes immense suffering to the target.
After another month of travelling Aryan had filled the 7th layer by 30%, as well as fill his EP reserves and increase his strength from killing any creature he found, and arrived at a cities walls, standing at 10 metres high, robust rock walls covered a perimeter 3 miles long, he then floated to the city gate, where 2 Cultivator guards stood wearing black metal armour and holding a spear. The moment Aryan was noticed they immediately tensed up, especially seeing him sitting upon some sort of treasure, "Welcome Sir Cultivator.", noticing the severe guards' polite greeting, the other travellers entering and leaving the city gates, all looked towards Aryan, who quickly entered the city and put away the pillow to avoid attention. A rural farm boy such as Aryan, was surprised by the civilised nature of the city with rows upon rows of shops, taverns, and inns with many caravas and wagons pulled by strong horse-like creatures, he quickly reigned in his emotions and looked for a person to ask directions from, he soon found an elderly man, who ran a stall that sold hot buns, and asked for directions to the Forgotten Sect, he politely returned that if Aryan kept heading down this street, he would eventually come across an embassy for the Forgotten Sect, to which he followed, after a couple of minutes of walking he comes across a large structure that stood above the rest.
