Seeing Mizar about to strike, Zansam immediately spoke up. "Lady Mizar, please calm down. Let me explain to Mr. Garten first." Zansam turned to Isaac, gesturing for him to take a seat."In the vast Eastscape region, Boddism was first introduced in the Primeval Era. Over the centuries, it gradually developed and divided into several major sects, including the Gilded Sect, Blanc Sect, Bloom Sect, and others. But as the saying goes, where there's good, there's evil."Hundreds of years ago, three individuals were expelled from the Gilded Sect, and they founded the Crimson Brow Sect. They specialized in the sinister deity path, practicing ruthless and cruel methods. Their ultimate goal has always been to resurrect Darklord Vorshe through the Five Sanctification Ritual."The Five Sanctification Ritual requires the internal organs of male children from the east, south, west, and north Cynea as offerings, with the most crucial offering being the heart of a living Bodda. "Now, with the p

"Isaac, I strongly advise you to leave this child here and go back to Cloud City." Mizar walked directly to Isaac as soon as she entered the room."Why?" Isaac furrowed his brows. When would this woman stop?Mizar glanced at the sleeping Karmic and said icily, "Regardless of whether he is the Realm Seer or not, Carmine Temple will treat him well. If he is indeed the Tenth Realm Seer, he'll become the most prestigious figure in the entire Eastscape. If not, he'll live a worry-free life."So, your presence here is simply unnecessary. The Emerald Realm is about to open, and you're not taking your practice seriously. Are you ready to be the sacrificial lamb for the Everest Sect when the time comes?"Isaac chuckled in exasperation. Then, he stood up and said, "Mizar, aren't you thinking too much about this? Why would I, Isaac, need your advice on what to do?"Mizar was left speechless as she crossed her arms. "I was just trying to help. If you don't want to take it, then forget it."I

The Entrée Ritual lasted three hours, and Isaac became increasingly hungry. He knew that these saints had been accustomed to such meals for decades. For anyone else, it would undoubtedly be an unusual experience.The Grand Abbot asked a total of five questions, and the other three candidates almost all made a memorable impression. However, Karmic remained seated and never stood up to answer.The four chief abbots harbored their intentions. However, after witnessing Karmic's meek behavior, Zansam seemed to have lost hope in his chosen candidate by the end of the meal.As the ritual concluded, the Grand Abbot rose and left. At the doorway, he unexpectedly stopped and turned toward Isaac."Mr. Garten, would you join me for morning prayers the day after tomorrow?"Isaac was taken aback. Did the Grand Abbot recognize him?"Sure." Isaac nodded.Once the Grand Abbot left, Nubique was the first to rise, laughing heartily. He patted Zansam on the shoulder and said, "Zansam, sometimes it'

The figure approached the bedside, leaning down. Suddenly, he raised his right hand, revealing a gleaming dagger. The tip was pointed at Karmic's throat, and with a swift motion, the sharp dagger sliced down.Suddenly, as if in a deep sleep, Isaac turned abruptly. With a tight grip on Karmic's arms, he swiftly shifted him to the other side.Clang!The dagger pierced through the bedsheets and slammed into the wooden board with a crisp sound. Isaac snapped his eyes open, only to find Nubique holding the dagger.Upon seeing Isaac wake up, Nubique's expression turned even more sinister. He abandoned the dagger, formed a hand seal with his right hand, twisted his wrist, and delivered a direct palm strike toward Isaac's face.Boom! A powerful force erupted from Nubique's palm. Isaac realized this person was powerful. With his right hand clenched into a fist, a crimson shadow fist burst forth.Boom!Nubique's right palm clashed with the shadow fist, and he was forced to retreat three

Zansam's final words before leaving eased Isaac's mind a bit. The Realm Seer Pearl was the final challenge, referred to as "Bodda's Choice", and it provided no room for cheating. This was because the Realm Seer Pearl was a relic left behind by the first-generation Realm Seer after achieving Nirvana. It had been kept at the top of the Realm Seer Tower for centuries. Only by passing the assessments below and reaching the top floor could a new Realm Seer be selected, and the pearl would emit a radiant light in response. This phenomenon, inexplicable by science, was widely believed among the Gilded Sect in Southbrook to be the divine selection of a Bodda.Isaac looked at Mizar, who was glancing around. Even Karmic had gone back to sleep, yet this woman kept staring at him."Do you want to sleep with me?" he asked.Mizar immediately raised her head. Even though her expression was hidden behind the veil, Isaac could sense the intense anger emanating from her."You disgusting man, t
