"Let's think about it tomorrow after the evening's gala." Remus didn't ponder much, heading back to his room and commencing his meditation.The Island of the Monarch was teeming with an unusually vibrant energy, rivaling the potency of the Violet Sanctum. Such an exceptional opportunity simply shouldn't be wasted.Moreover, cultivation was his trump card. If he hadn't been shielded by divine energy when facing Bason, he would have died long ago.The moments passed swiftly during the meditation, and before he knew it, the sky had turned dark.Remus opened his eyes with a healthy flush on his face, regaining the peak of the Training Stage. After tonight, he should be able to return to the Foundation Stage once more."As long as my divine energy restores to the later stages of the Foundation Stage, I'll stand invincible against the Supreme Martial Imperial. If I can restore it to the peak of the Foundation Stage, I might even be able to kill a Supreme Martial Imperial alone!" He cont
The two islands weren't far apart, and Ana and the others knew about Ironpeak Island.Ironpeak Island boasted abundant spirit energy, a naturally blessed land that attracted cultivators from all corners of the world. There were at least 500 cultivators residing on the island year-round. Among them, the island's ruler, Husan Mosar, had reached the pinnacle of Nascent Soul cultivation many years ago, akin to the prowess of a Martial Imperial.The two deputy island chiefs were also in the later stages of Nascent Soul, rumored to have been striving for the pinnacle of the Nascent Soul Stage. Furthermore, hundreds of individuals had cultivation levels beyond the Golden Stage. Anyone capable of reaching such a secluded and remote island possessed extraordinary cultivation.Even if Bason brought along 12 Martial Imperials, it would still be impossible to dominate Ironpeak Island.Asking Remus to retrieve Husan's head was no different than sending him to his death.Ana swiftly interjected
"Isn't that bastard going to be on equal footing with the Master of the Schneiders by then?" Scarlett exclaimed in great frustration.She was extremely displeased because, despite being younger than her, Remus had become the Master of the Cosby Family.Moreover, when it was time for Remus to take his turn as the Clan Master in the future, he would surely become a challenge for the Schneiders.Rufus sneered coldly. "Stop believing everything others say. He claims to have defeated Bason, but who witnessed it? Just today, he also claimed to have ascended from the Deity Realm to Martial Imperial within 60 hours. Haha."Scarlett was stunned to hear it, finding it hard to believe that Remus ascended from the Deity Realm to Martial Imperial in just 60 hours.Rufus spoke up again, "Besides, even if he was able to escape, do you think we have not prepared for that possibility? And even if he breaks through the backup plan, we still have a third one, heh."Scarlett's eyes lit up at these w
Just as Remus stepped onto Ironpeak Island, he sensed an even denser concentration of spirit energy, so much so that the entire ocean's spirit energy seemed to have converged toward this place.He even had a momentary thought of delaying the assassination of Husan and absorbing spirit energy here. However, upon reflection, he concluded that joining the Dragon Protector Clan was more crucial.He faintly released his divine energy to conceal his energy as a martial practitioner, then swiftly walked toward the center of the island.Amidst the darkness, he maneuvered through the dense foliage, silently sneaking into the island's centralmost position. Even though he had promised to complete the task within three days, the sooner it was done, the better. Once he had resolved the affairs of the Dragon Protector Clan, he had to head back to Darsia as Jean and the rest were still waiting for him.The forest held many meditation cushions arranged among wooden cabins, some containing person
The crowd was momentarily taken aback by Remus' discontented tone, then suddenly erupted into laughter.An old man standing beside Remus chuckled and said, "Didn't expect you to be so young yet fiery. Don't worry, nobody here meant any disrespect. We were just surprised, that's all."Despite his age, the old man was merely in the middle stage of the Golden Stage.The nearby cultivators also chimed in, "If we intended to scorn you, we'd have already made a move. A petty Training Stage cultivator, easily squashed with a flick of our fingers!""Don't frighten him! Youngster, your arrival is timely. Take the opportunity to observe more. Stand up ahead, some folks never get to see how the Golden Stage progresses into the Nascent Soul Stage in their entire lives!""Everyone step aside, let him pass and take a look!"The cultivators indeed stepped aside, with even those at the very front moving backward, leaving the foremost position for him.Remus was stunned by their reaction. Upon c
As the fourth heavenly thunder struck the cultivator, everyone's eyes widened collectively, refusing to believe what they just witnessed.Everyone recognized the talent of that cultivator, knowing that he was far from being an exceptional genius and that he shouldn't have attracted the fourth heavenly thunder.Husan also stood rooted in place, equally as doubtful as the rest.Amid their amazement, the fifth heavenly thunder crashed with great speed.The fifth heavenly thunder was even brighter than the preceding four, its thunderous force more intense, as if it would rend the sky apart.Following that, an even more terrifying scene unfolded. The heavenly thunder struck the cultivator once again, sending shivers down everyone's spine.The cultivator was completely obliterated, leaving no trace behind."What?" Husan's eyes widened swiftly, quickly raising his gaze upward.He had witnessed hundreds of Golden Stage advancements over the years, yet this was the first time he had enc
Husan's spirit energy leaked out wildly, forming a shield as he swiftly fled into the distance.However, the heavenly thunder seemed infuriated, relentlessly striking him once more and knocking him down. Similar to the initial cultivator, his exposed palm turned charred black."Chief!""Protect the Chief, hurry!""Quick, everyone, release your spirit energy. Hurry!"Those on the slopes on either side spoke with urgency.Almost simultaneously, everyone exerted their spirit energy and swiftly formed a protective shield. The combined spirit energy of hundreds of cultivators at the Golden Stage and above was terrifying.A protective shield made of spirit energy appeared above the valley.The heavenly thunder grew even more frenzied, striking with all its might upon the protective shield."Why ... Why is this happening?" Everyone became even more bewildered. Such an occurrence wasn't just unseen, it was completely unheard of before. The heavenly thunder tonight was particularly e
Remus originally did not plan on interfering. His purpose in coming here was to assassinate Husan, so if Husan was struck dead by the heavenly thunder, he would be spared the effort.However, Remus possessed sympathy and empathy. He admired those who acted with gratitude and favored those who knew how to appreciate kindness. It wasn't just because of Husan either, he was also moved by the hundreds of independent cultivators on the island who were willing to sacrifice their lives to rescue Husan.The heavenly thunder oddly began trembling gently, swaying down consistently from the sky above. Soon after, the heavenly thunder inexplicably began to retract inch by inch until eventually, it mysteriously disappeared without a trace.The heavenly thunder dissipated, leaving the sky dominated by billowing, churning dark clouds. Despite their tumultuous movement, there was an absence of even a shred of electrical radiance.The hundreds of independent cultivators present simultaneously w
Kaiser couldn't help but sigh when he saw them.This was his first time seeing them since Remus died. Judging by the state they were in, it seemed they hadn't finished mourning Remus.It makes sense. After all, he was their fiancé, as well as the greatest hero from ancient times to now. How could they easily move on from that?The ten women took their seats and turned to look at Kaiser.Gabriela said slowly, "Mr. President, you should consider dyeing your hair."At this point, his hair was completely white.Kaiser waved his hand and managed a smile. "In the past, I had to maintain Darsia's image, so I couldn't have any gray hair. Now that things are like this, there's no point in worrying about it. It's good to just let things be."Even with a head full of black hair, it could not change the impact caused by Remus' death, so there was no point in making a fuss about it.Kaiser paused and said, "I invited you all here today to discuss an important matter. Just this morning, the
The energy in the Underworld was currently in high demand, and the supply couldn't keep up. It was essential to reclaim the Pathic Energies to ensure the energy would continue to be released, and no one could stand in their way.Roman simply said, "I'm not asking what you would do if it was taken from you. I'm asking if there's a possibility it could be taken."The ghost kings couldn't help but look at him. If it were possible...Roman didn't give them much time to think and continued, "Let me put it another way. Even if Remus shows up, would anyone believe it was the Celestial Sovereign who saved him? Would the Celestial Sovereign admit that he was the one who rescued him?"Everyone, have you ever considered that the Celestial Sovereign has never publicly acknowledged that Remus carries his bloodline? If he suddenly denies it and claims that it was the Underworld that saved him, how should we respond?"The other fice sucked in a sharp breath.Paul was frustrated again. "Does he
Roman did not respond immediately and instead thought deeply about it with a serious expression.At this point, what happened to Remus no longer mattered. In fact, it might be better to say Roman would love to see Remus hurry off to fight the Upper Realms.But the issue was that people in the Upper Realms didn't know that Remus was still alive. What would they do if they saw him appear again? Would it affect Roman?It was like what the ghost kings initially thought—within the Three Realms, the only ones who could save Remus were Roman and Francis.Once Remus was exposed, Francis would naturally deny being the one who saved him, leaving Roman as the only one who could have done so. By then, he would become the target of everyone's criticism.So, before figuring out how to handle the aftermath, there was no way he could let Francis find out about this."Your Majesty?" Noticing Roman was hesitant to speak, the ghost kings couldn't help but urge him for a response.Roman took a deep
Remus didn't want to admit it, but he had to—here, he felt like he was immobile while the world around him was in constant motion.In other words, he had no control over what was happening and could only passively accept everything the world presented to him, without any right to refuse. The simplest metaphor was being forced to watch a movie while you were tied to a chair.Remus was feeling frantic again. It seemed he was truly trapped with no way out."Is Limbo really like this?" He felt powerless over the current situation. In his current state, he couldn't affect the Mortal Realm or the Underworld and was simply stuck here. If this wasn't Limbo, then what was?It was like how when a person died, it was not necessarily a complete disappearance. It could also be understood as being separated from friends and family, no longer able to meet, forever existing in different realms. Wasn't it the same case right now?Remus slowly descended into the forest, coming to a stop without any
Remus was shocked, staring blankly at the scene.Under normal circumstances, after reliving his life once, he should have just faded away. That was how it usually was for ordinary people. So, why hadn't he disappeared, and why were the scenes starting to repeat?As expected, after Remus snapped out of it, he heard voices coming from the mountaintop. It was once again the scene of Tyson holding a ruler, disciplining a sobbing Remus."Why... Why is this happening?" Remus muttered to himself, growing more and more shocked. "Is this what the so-called Limbo looks like, or did something go wrong?"For a moment, he didn't know whether to feel happy or worried. Naturally, he was happy because he still existed, but he was also worried because the current situation felt too unfamiliar.Remus remained calm and continued to look ahead. The scene shifted to the front of the prison, then to Kylie calling off their engagement, and then to various moments shared with the other women from his pas
"No!" Remus roared, feeling a bit panicked.According to human processes, after reliving one's memories, the spirits would depart the body as a farewell to the Mortal Realm, and the physical body would begin to decay and turn to dust.If that was the case, wouldn't he fade away into nothingness after revisiting all his memories as a specter?"No, no!" Remus started shouting, trying to stop it, because this was the final act of his specter. Once this moment passed, he would completely vanish into nothingness, and he was doing everything he could to prevent that.Unfortunately, the situation in front of him wouldn't change just because he willed it to. The result would be the same as from the start, continuing to unfold bit by bit."Candace Nightingale!" Remus shouted once again. Seeing Candace nearly being squashed by the Pathic Energies, he couldn't help but wish he could lend a hand in it. If she had been killed then, he wouldn't be filled with such regret now.The scene was sti
When Remus saw this, he suddenly started laughing.This scene was from when he first arrived at the prison. He was indeed nervous and worried outside the gate. After all, it was his first time coming down from the mountains and entering the outside world, especially since Tyson said this was the most dangerous place in the world.Because of that, he was extremely cautious when going in, afraid of getting beaten up. It was also here that he parted ways with Tyson, and he hadn't seen him since then.Remus looked at Tyson, wanting to take a closer look at him, but the scene changed once again.It was three years later, when Kylie came to break off their engagement. Adorned in luxurious designer brands, she arrogantly said, "We belong to different worlds. Give me the marriage contract!"If it weren't for the fact that she was a girl, Remus would have definitely given her a rough time. Why bother putting up an act?The scene shifted again. This time, he was at the Bowen family's luxur
Remus stared straight ahead for a moment, then began frantically looking around. All he saw was a dense forest surrounding him. There was no sign of Tyson anywhere.What terrified him even more was that when he looked down right after that, he discovered he had no body or spectral form.Remus quickly raised his hand, wanting to touch his arm, attempting to see if he was simply concealed. However, he unexpectedly couldn't feel his arm! It was as if he only had a pair of eyes to observe the world, and no one else could even see these eyes."How did this happen? What is this place?" Remus was completely panicked.Why did he see a scene from over 20 years ago? Did he travel back in time? Or was this scene simply playing itself back to him? Where exactly was he?The sound of a slap interrupted his train of thought.Remus sharply turned to look, and to his surprise, he could see the top of the mountain along the path.At the summit was a small thatched house, and in front of it sat a
Unfortunately, the problems kept coming one after another.Grant said, "That's a good idea, but how can Remus return to the Mortal Realm or even reach the Upper Realms? He's currently a specter and isn't able to go there!"The other four ghost kings froze. The favorable outcome made them overlook the necessary process. Remus couldn't reach the Upper Realms, which meant the fight between him and Francis couldn't happen.They all turned to look at Roman.Roman frowned deeply. There was actually a way to help Remus return to the Mortal Realm. Remus would have been able to think of it too, but he just couldn't see what was right under his nose.There was a term called "Soul Return". Remus could find a recently deceased body and enter it, allowing him to return to the Mortal Realm.But Roman's statement about not being able to help Remus return to the Mortal Realm wasn't a lie, because no resurrected body could ever match the strength of Remus' original form.Even if his specter poss
