After the delusional bi*ch was taken away, we went back into seclusion and enjoyed our final decade of peace in this world.
But it wasn't the same for everyone, unlike us, who had been blessed with comfort after cutting our ties with the deranged family, the family's troubles were only beginning.
The vultures that were eyeing them for a long time finally made their move. Some motivated by a chance to curry our favor, some in it for the monetary reward offered by some organizations that wanted to pry open the duo's skulls for any skills or manuals that the former Saintess might have left behind for them.
In just three days, the hobo and his son were cornered. The hobo spewed nonsense again, preparing to battle to save some time for his son, but now that the protection umbrella of our sect was lifted, the people that chased after him weren't as limited in their options as our kind and wronged elders that couldn't retaliate wholeheartedly.

The Stepping Stones Timeskips of an Immortal
I'm the leader of an immortal sect. I'm the hero of a mortal world. I was an ordinary man a million years ago but now, I've met true Gods, and perhaps, I'll be a true God soon as well. The concept of time lost meaning to me long ago but the concept of space still troubles me, albeit my ability to twist it to my will up to a certain extent. An immortal sect is inherently different from a mortal sect. The only mortals our sect permits entry are the servants. Those servants are stronger than the leaders of the mortal sects, but that's just how it is. That's what makes us an immortal sect. Other than that, we also don't need many resources to function, each of us can gather as many of them as we want. Our intent of gathering is mainly to exchange information and knowledge from each other and seek ways to entertain the rest of us. Our attention span is already quite long, yet still there comes a time when we get bored of eve

Talk to me after I've broken your nose with a casual backhand slap. If one doesn't work, two will. That's just how is it. Back when I had first acquired this power, I was struggling in my academy.
