I Am A Notorious Hidden Boss In The Alternate World

Sometime later, everyone in the conference room gave up on comprehending how the boss's mind works. 

They couldn't understand it.

"Boss, since I've taken a Vigorous Innate Pill and stepped into the Innate Realm, I don't think the earth-grade martial art technique I'm practicing is enough to improve my strength," Maverick Cohen mentioned. 

Earth-grade martial art techniques were only capable of taking martial artists to the Initiate Realm.

Without the Vigorous Innate Pill, Maverick Cohen, who had been at the Peak-stage Initiate Realm, would not have been able to step into the Innate Realm so easily. 

"Is it possible to receive a higher grade martial art technique to further my practice, boss?" Maverick Cohen asked shortly after. 

"Naturally. I did mention that I would answer any questions; that includes requests as well," Albion nodded and said, "I expect members of my Blackthorne Group to all be at the Emperor-level Hunters."

"As such, gifting you a mystic-grade martial art technique will be a bit pointless in reaching that goal. Thus, in consideration of your position and contribution as well, I shall gift you the mid-heaven-grade cultivation art, Sword Ascending Sky Sutra."

Albion casually took out a blue book from his Ashura Ring before tossing it to Maverick Cohen.

"Mid-heaven-grade cultivation art!" Maverick Cohen's eyes beamed with surprise and joy. 

Even the Four Emperors who followed the Dark Lord for a few hundred years had only received low-heaven-grade cultivation arts to practice!

The Sword Ascending Sky Sutra could not only allow him to train up to the Spirit Consolidation Realm, but it was also a sword cultivation art! 

"Thank you, boss! I will practice it diligently and not disappoint you!" Maverick Cohen promised. 

Sword cultivation arts grant him an opportunity to comprehend sword intent, which gives sword cultivators terrifying attack power and makes them stronger than other cultivators of the same level.

"Boss, I wonder if I can also…."

…

After Maverick Cohen received his sword cultivation art, everyone was eager to ask for a cultivation art that they could practice. 

Albion did not hold back and gifted them all low-heaven-grade cultivation arts and even answered some of their doubts regarding their cultivation. 

The Seymour family and Xiao family also got their share of low-heaven-grade cultivation art.

From the lowest to highest, cultivation arts are divided into mortal, earth, mystic, heaven, and immortal grades.

Furthermore, heaven and immortal-grade cultivation arts are further divided into low, mid, and high.

"If you want to be rewarded like Maverick Cohen, prove to me that you are worthy of such rewards," Albion glanced at the present members and gave them a goal to strive for, "I am looking for four new generals."

"If you want these positions, you must defeat the existing three emperors. The only ones to take the heads of Kasin, Una, and Thanatos will be the new generals under me. Of course, Emperor Polemos' position is also for the taking if you have what it takes to defeat him." 

"The four generals can be challenged and replaced at any time if you are capable enough. However, you have to be prepared to face the consequence of failure if you choose to challenge those positions," Albion stated.

"After all, they are positions of great authority. I doubt anyone would like to be challenged while they are holding onto those positions."

"Boss, why do you only limit the position of general to only four? Isn't it too few to manage a large group?" Xiao Hua asked curiously.

Given her age and strength, she was unlikely capable enough to compete with the others for those positions, let alone slay the traitorous generals to open up those options.

Albion paused for a moment before he replied, "The number four represents death in some countries. In the future, there will only be blood and conquest. Therefore, I expect nothing less of my generals than to be the representations of death on the battlefield." 

The only acceptable death was the death of his enemies.

"In addition to the position of four generals, there will also be the position of thirteen swords. Their responsibilities are to cut down the enemies and point their swords where I tell them," Albion stated. 

"Thirteen swords…" a few young masters of the eight top families muttered. 

The position of generals was too far of a goal for them, but perhaps, they could strive to be one of the thirteen swords.

…

…

…

As the Blackthorne Group's meeting was underway, a group of people was drawn to the bottom of Skylark Hills.

"I can feel it. The spiritual energy in the surrounding is being drawn to this place," said a spiky-haired young man in his early 30s before concluding, "There must be something special here." 

"This place is a gated community for wealthy and powerful people. It will be for the best if we don't steal anything and just leave," another young man of similar age warned. 

"What's the hurry?" a young lady in blue dress said before adding, "Even if we don't steal anything, it won't hurt to take a look and see what is causing the spiritual energy to gather at this location."

"This…" the young man hesitated before saying, "There's a chance that the owners will be offended if we trespass on their properties."

"Quit being so cautious," another lady in white dress slapped the young man on the back before saying, "Do you even consider yourself a disciple of the Ancient Sects? We are all Peak-stage Innate Realm and have the backing of Ancient Sects. So what do we have to be afraid of?" 

"Don't forget that the reason the Ancient Sects all sealed their gates until recently was all due to Dark Emperor killing our Demigod sect masters many years ago," the young man reminded before adding. "And I heard such a person is staying in this city."

"Hehe, that's where you are wrong," the spiky-haired young man grinned and said, "According to the distant cousin of my father's younger brother's wife's brother-in-law's elder sister's aunty, the Dark Emperor had made a base in the Glacia continent with furries."

"So there's no need to worry about running into the Dark Emperor here," the spiky-haired young man guaranteed.

"This…" the young man frowned and uttered, "You have such an extensive family…. Are you sure the source is reliable?"
