Old Man Whitebeard and Kira's Grandfather sat together in a secluded chamber, their expressions serious as they delved into deep discussion.

Kira's Grandfather nodded solemnly. "Yes, it speaks of a great change coming to the world, with all continents fusing together. The balance of power will shift, and there is a possibility of war and conquest by the stronger powers of the Central Continent."
"The upcoming Grand Martial Arts Tournament will be a significant event before the opening of the Martial Emperor Secret Realm," Old Man Whitebeard continued. "Our talented disciples will face great challenges in the realm."
Meanwhile, the sect leaders and others waited on the mountain summit for their disciples to return from the Heavenly Sword Secret Realm.
