Morris felt his scalp tingle under their gazes as that was the first time in his life that he was being watched by so many dignitaries.Morris, feeling the weight of their scrutiny, proceeded to explain meticulously, "Respected Deputy Saint Masters and Masters, the culmination of the examination involved a direct confrontation between the cultivators."Emerson was pitted against Remus, and as a result, he depleted his spirit energy, ultimately collapsing before the fight concluded...""What!" Before Morris could elaborate further, Erjon was visibly taken aback, his expression a mix of shock and disbelief.He questioned, "Are you suggesting that Remus managed to compete against Emerson and deplete his spirit energy?"Everyone else was also shocked.Given that Remus had recently vanquished Marc, who was of a superior cultivation level, it was attributed to various factors like Marc's complacency and Remus' martial prowess.However, there were no such factors in the external asse

Remus found himself engulfed in confusion.Initially, Wilda's welcoming smiles had bathed him in warmth as he stepped onto the sacred land. Yet, in an unexpected turn, her demeanor had changed entirely.Previously, she might have overlooked his earlier injuries, but after her blow caused him to vomit blood, showing some concern seemed only basic decency. However, she chose to retreat indoors, firmly shutting the door behind her.The most infuriating part was being told to meditate in the courtyard.Remus slowly stood up and walked toward the room. "You haven't told me why I'm here."There was silence behind the door as if there was no one inside.He hesitated before adding, "You saved me, didn't you?"Killing a fellow disciple was a grave crime anywhere, punishable by severe penalties.Yet Marc had struck him twice.How could Remus just accept such humiliation?It was he who had forced Remus to act.His presence here now indicated that Wilda must have intervened.There was

As the Deputy Saint Masters and Masters made their entrance, the previously bustling square quieted down immediately.All eyes shifted to the forefront.The crowd looked at Remus with a mix of awe and incredulity, as his feats seemed beyond human capabilities.He had withstood a confrontation against a mid-stage Divine Separation cultivator at the peak of the Golden Stage and had even killed Marc, who was at the Divine Unity Stage, through martial prowess.Such accomplishments were unheard of!Grandmaster Aurelius stepped forward, his voice resonant as he spoke, "Attention, all 16 of you. Standing before you are the Masters of Monington Sacred Land, tasked with guiding the sacred land disciples of the sacred land. "Their expertise and domains vary! You should choose a Master to follow based on your own strengths. This will ensure the most effective progress."Bartholomew and the others nodded excitedly.Soon, they would officially become a part of the sacred land, a true disci

The entire square fell even quieter than before Remus made his choice.He was supposed to choose a Master, but his words to Glinda shocked everyone. "Whoever you choose, I will choose the same."What did that mean? Was he planning to choose a guiding Master alongside Glinda?The crowd looked on, puzzled.The Masters in front, even Wilda, were surprised by his statement."Even if it was just a little help from you, I should return the favor with all I can." Remus offered a casual justification.He said loudly, "Yesterday, when I was exhausted in both body and spirit, no one would offer me a moment's rest, except for Glinda. Naturally, I must repay her kindness. Glinda, whoever you choose, I will choose the same!"After all, she was already his woman, and he could not let her suffer at any time.Hearing that, Glinda looked over in astonishment, a warm current flowing through her heart.His words were like a burst of warm sunshine in snowy weather.The Masters in front also re

The entire place fell into a dead silence.Everyone's eyes were wide open, their mouths agape at Remus' bold declaration.What kind of audacious statement was that?Even Kennard was momentarily at a loss for a response.Undeterred, Remus raised his voice as he spoke, "To belittle others is to open oneself to humiliation. The entire conflict was sparked by my accidental wrong turn, for which I promptly offered my apologies."It was he who was relentless, and in the end, he even begged me to kill him. How am I in the wrong for simply fulfilling his request?"Hearing that, the Monington disciples finally found a reason to vent their anger."You admit to taking a wrong turn. Our Monington disciples' residence is not a place for a parasite like you to just barge into!""If we follow your logic, since we consider our residence more sacred than life itself, your intrusion justifies your death!""Yes, taking a wrong turn is a grave sin, killing you would be justified!"They were all
