Remus had seemingly gone mad, boldly provoking the Herbal Pavilion.The attention of all six major organizations and independent cultivators had now converged upon the Herbal Pavilion, a transcendent entity that held the sole connection to the sacred lands.All of them were eager to witness how the Herbal Pavilion would deal with Remus.…Nestled among the mountains in Dasia's heartland, where misty clouds enveloped the peaks, the world below appeared as an expansive sea of white.As one approached the mist, they would be greeted by the enchanting aroma of herbs filling the air. Venturing further into the mist, they would stumble upon an ancient city hidden within the mountains. This city featured towering walls crafted from green bricks and roofs adorned with golden tiles, exuding an unmistakable air of grandeur and opulence.Within this ancient city, there were 18 massive furnaces, emitting smoke that gave rise to the clouds above. Among these furnaces, 17 were of smaller siz
The Tanjen Organization was enveloped in an eerie cloak of darkness and silence, illuminated solely by the cold moonlight from above.Remus sat in a cross-legged position at the square's center, engrossed in meditation.During the day, he had refined replenishing pills, seemingly of a mere first-grade quality. However, their extraordinary efficacy was a result of his discreet infusion of divine energy during the preparation process. Although the pills appeared ordinary on the surface, they concealed a wealth of hidden energy within.Henry, accompanied by the remaining two alchemists and four disciples, sat in silent meditation behind Remus.As cultivators of alchemy, they not only replenished their spirit energy with pills but also harnessed the ambient spirit energy of nature. Given their current state, meditation was the most conducive choice."Someone is coming!" Remus slowly opened his eyes.Henry and the others immediately tensed, swiftly scanning their surroundings. Howev
Henry and the others had made the selfless decision to sacrifice themselves to protect the Tanjen Organization. As their Master, it fell upon Remus to honor their loyalty and protect them.Just then, a voice descended from above, urgently imploring, "Master Calsberg, you must leave this place immediately! Countless True Life members will begin arriving within two hours. Hurry!"The voice belonged to none other than Reese from the Riversky Organization. As she appeared on the scene, a warm smile graced Remus' face.Her presence touched him deeply, reminding him there were still people of honor and loyalty in this world. He vividly remembered the time he had aided her in reaching the Golden Stage with just a single pill, and now, she had returned to offer him a warning in kind.Remus replied with conviction, "You should leave as well. Your presence here could jeopardize your future. My commitment to safeguarding the Tanjen Organization is unwavering. There's no need for further conve
The body of the dark-robed cultivator plummeted heavily to the ground, his severed head rolling several times before coming to a stop.His eyes remained open, a look of utter bewilderment etched upon his face. He couldn't fathom how Remus, who was only at the Golden Stage, had managed to deliver a fatal blow in just one move.Additionally, he was overwhelmed by deep regret for having focused solely on Reese and Morven, completely overlooking the threat that was Remus. That was how Remus was able to deliver such a meticulously executed ambush.Reese and Morven were similarly stunned, their gazes fixed on Remus in disbelief. How could he have killed a late-stage Nascent Soul Stage cultivator in just one strike? They had seen cultivators who were able to surpass their level in challenges but never to such an extent.Reese couldn't help but ask, “What ... what realm have you truly attained? Your strength clearly transcends the limitations of the Golden Stage!"Remus, who was never one
Before Reese and Morven could ponder further, a voice echoed through the sky."The Guardian Master of the Gresun Organization, Master Morven? And the rising star of the Riversky Organization, recognized as the successor to Glinda and hailed as the number one female prodigy of True Life, Reese Hewalt?" A group of approximately 30 cultivators, seemingly hailing from a lesser-known organization, approached them through the air.Reese and Morven turned sharply, their eyes flashing with panic at the sight of the unexpected arrivals.Before they could speak, the leader of the smaller organization continued, "Indeed, as expected of the six major sects. I came here as quickly as possible upon receiving the news, but it seems I've arrived just a step behind."Both Reese and Morven fell silent, unsure of how to explain themselves.The leader then respectfully clasped his hands together and spoke, "Seeing that you both have arrived ahead of us, I understand I cannot contend with you. Thus,
"Unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable!" Gemma gasped, covering her mouth in astonishment, restraining herself from shouting aloud.Remus had nonchalantly wiped out a late-stage Nascent Soul Stage cultivator and then annihilated a small organization with just a flick of his wrist."He claimed he could take on three Divine Separation Stage cultivators?" Gemma's heart raced uncontrollably, and she began to regret her earlier choice to depart. If she had remained by his side and confronted this crisis together, she could have been able to become his companion. It was a missed opportunity that gnawed at her."Wait! The ones arriving now are merely from a small organization. The true dangers, the six major sects, have not yet appeared. Even if what he claims is true, True Life boasts thousands of cultivators, all aspiring to enter the sacred lands."Can he contend with ten? 100? 1000? 10,000? My decision might be right!" She reassured herself that her decision to depart had been the r
David had received numerous favors from the Tanjen Organization in the past.His face darkened as he replied, “The past is the past! Why bring it up? We need to look forward, don't we? Deputy Miller, it would be best if you leave now. Our sole objective is Remus. Do not entangle yourself in this matter!"The individuals behind him also urged, "You must leave swiftly. Remaining here is tantamount to a death sentence. There is no need to sacrifice yourself for him! If you don't leave now, don't blame us for being ruthless and killing you too."At least a third of these individuals had previously sought pills from the Tanjen Organization. In the past, only the Tanjen Organization and the Medicine Valley Organization had been capable of offering pills.Henry glared at them with seething rage and declared, "Tonight, I'll slay every single one of you ungrateful scoundrels!"He let his spirit energy surge forth. However, being just a Foundation Stage cultivator, he was clearly outmatched
Exactly as Reese and Morven had guessed, more people began arriving at the Tanjen Organization.Within just two hours, over 1000 cultivators had congregated around the Tanjen Organization, and their numbers continued to swell at an alarming rate. However, these cultivators refrained from immediate aggression, they instead encircled the area."They're all dead!""They were cut in half by a single slash!""My goodness, is that Dark Wind, the dark path cultivator? He was at the late Nascent Soul stage, and it seems he was also killed by a single strike!"The assembled cultivators engaged in hushed discussions, their shock palpable as they surveyed the bewildering scene unfolding before their eyes.Meanwhile, Remus maintained a seated meditation posture, his eyes slightly closed.Henry and the other six were grappling with their inner turmoil, their bodies drenched in sweat, and the overwhelming pressure exerted by the expanding crowd.Reese and Morven's faces grew visibly pale wit
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
