"You're seeking death!" Grandmaster Aurelius bellowed, his eyes widening in fury as his spiritual energy surged outward.Almost simultaneously, Remus reached for the Black Jade bestowed upon him by the Emperor of the Underworld, intending to crush it as his last chance of survival.However...However, before he could act, he found himself immobilized. It felt as if all his strength had been sapped away. It was Grandmaster Aurelius.He hadn't even made a move. The moment his Heaven Energy leaked out, it enveloped Remus' body.At this moment, Remus felt a surge of panic. He knew that the Great Realm of Enlightenment represented the pinnacle of human achievement, but he never expected it to be so terrifying. Even with his Heaven Energy protecting him, he was instantly incapacitated.What was even more bewildering was that he hadn't even been conscious of retrieving the Black Jade. It had simply appeared in his hand, as if summoned by instinct.Grandmaster Aurelius continued angrily

Grandmaster Aurelius and the others stumbled and nearly collapsed to the ground. Indeed, what Elena said was true. The existence of Remus was incomprehensible yet undeniable. His strength was undeniable, and they had been reluctant to acknowledge this all along.The disciples, too, felt a chill run down their spines. They knew they couldn't match his prowess, especially after witnessing his ability to defeat Kennard.Elena pleaded, "Fellow disciples, I implore you to spare his life. His survival may be beneficial to our sacred land!"After her plea, she bowed deeply. Seeing this, Sir Hudson once again clasped his fists and implored, "I once again request you all to grant him a chance at life!"As the words fell silent, the entire hall fell into a dreadful silence.The immobilized Remus could only watch the two pleading on his behalf. Suddenly, a pang of bitterness surged within him. He had always struggled to accept kindness from others, feeling he only burdened them further. Se

With a crack, a resounding noise echoed through the space. Cracks began to form around Master Eythor.A wave of disbelief washed over everyone as they pondered whether Master Eythor was truly on the brink of a breakthrough.How could a mere few words from Remus hold such power, driving Master Eythor to break through the barrier that had eluded him for decades? How was this possible?Why did they merely find his words sensible, yet fail to grasp anything?The air echoed with the sound of cracking, intensifying with each passing moment as more and more cracks emerged around Master Eythor.Remus breathed a sigh of relief. To others, his words may have seemed simple. Yet, they were unaware of the countless times he had mulled over them in his mind. They weren't mere utterances.It was through Master Eythor's tone, mannerisms, and subtle expressions that Remus had earnestly deduced the key. Master Eythor's eagerness and frustration to compete with others, had been the very shackles

Remus maintained a poker face, but a slight smirk played at the corners of his lips. He felt like he had found the solution. The so-called breakthrough was nothing more than breaking through the shackles of one's soul and mind.Master Eythor had been too eager, losing himself in the process, so the only way to achieve breakthrough was to let him find his way back to himself. Master Erjon, on the other hand, had been too secretive and reserved. For him to reach the Great Realm of Enlightenment, he had to speak his mind openly.The breakthroughs were simple, yet they couldn't grasp it. Remus shook his head, deeming them all incompetent.Without dwelling further, he turned his gaze to the other masters."I'm next!""Let me go first!""Please guide me!"The masters, chiefs and temple lords were all eager to achieve breakthroughs. They had waited decades, even centuries, for this moment. With the opportunity finally within their grasp, they were unwilling to wait any longer.Remus

"Besides being branded as a traitor, he'll be thrown into the Nine Prison!"His words sent a shiver down Elena and Sir Hudson's spines. Master Eythor and Master Erjon also contemplated speaking up to ease the tension. After all, they had just received guidance from Remus. How could they just stand by and watch him face execution? However, their words held no power in the face of the grandmasters. Besides, the gravity of the accusation was too immense for them to intervene.Finally, Remus broke the heavy silence. "So, are you planning to go back on your word and execute me?" he questioned in disbelief.How could they, the most powerful grandmasters in the sacred land, change their minds so easily?Grandmaster Aurelius responded indifferently, "They're the ones who promised not to execute you, not me!"With that, his spiritual energy spread out. It ensnared Remus to prevent him from taking any harmful action.He then addressed the other masters, chiefs, and temple lords. "I und
