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
Henry added, "Furthermore, there's only one spot for ascension. Are you confident that you can guarantee it for yourselves?"The crowd cautiously looked on, offering no response. Indeed, they were well aware only one spot was available, which made them reluctant to act. They feared that if they killed Remus, they might end up being the prime target of everyone else.A prolonged silence enveloped the scene, lasting an entire minute.Eventually, an independent cultivator at the Foundation Stage mustered the courage to step forward and declared in a clear voice, "I'm willing to leave, but not empty-handed. Provide me with a top-grade Energy Replenishing Pill and a top-grade Spirit Cleansing Pill from Tanjen, and I shall leave now!"He desired to seize the opportunity but understood his slim odds against the crowd, so he opted for the next best alternative.Following his lead, another Foundation Stage cultivator demanded, "I want Master Calsberbg himself to refine an Energy Replenishi
The cultivators surrounding the Tanjen Organization were utterly stunned by Remus' words. They couldn't believe he treated the cultivators like mere ants to be slain at will.However, they couldn't help but be overwhelmed with dread and horror as they witnessed the scene before them.The force behind Remus' single strike was so astonishingly formidable that it surpassed what even a peak Nascent Soul Stage cultivator could likely accomplish. At that moment, the gathered cultivators had a stark revelation. They were utterly defenseless against his might, and any resistance would be futile.The crowd's collective gaze shifted toward Morven, speculating whether the initial hundred cultivators weren't killed by him.Morven nodded, acknowledging their suspicions. "You're right, the hundreds of individuals lying before the Tanjen Organization were all killed by Master Calsberg in a single strike. Fellow cultivators, Master Calsberg's power exceeds your wildest expectations. It is in your
Master Sky was baffled by their collective reaction, her brow furrowing as she inquired, "What is going on? All this astonishment and fear, have you lost your minds?"The other members of the Jade Organization were also confused, unable to understand what was happening.After a night's silence, Remus spoke deliberately, "You, come forward and kneel!"Master Sky and the others from the Jade Organization were stunned, incredulous at his command.Master Sky's smile turned cold as she retorted, "Master Calsberg, it appears you've got it all wrong. It's you who should kneel! Now, I'll offer you a chance, crawl on your knees, and give yourself 200 slaps, and perhaps I'll consider granting you a swift end, haha!"She had been holding a grudge against Remus ever since he slapped her at the Violet Sanctum. She had longed for a chance to exact revenge, and now, with numerous witnesses present, it was the perfect opportunity.Remus contemplated for a brief moment before swiftly taking actio
Upon hearing that the Masters and Deputy Masters of the other five major organizations had arrived, Henry and his group started trembling uncontrollably, their gaze filled with anxiety as they looked upward.The thousands of cultivators in attendance also shifted their attention in their direction. Amidst the crowd, only Remus remained serene and composed.The sound of approaching footsteps reverberated in the air, seemingly synchronized with the collective heartbeat of the crowd. Five prominent figures took the lead, followed by disciples representing the five major organizations, forming an imposing procession as they arrived.Upon reaching the front, they were taken aback by the sight of the countless bodies scattered around. Their astonishment deepened when they beheld Master Sky kneeling before Remus, her exposed state adding to their shock."Save me!" pleaded Master Sky. She cried out, "Esteemed Masters and Deputy Masters, we are the pillars of the six major organizations, th
"Regarding the spot for ascension, we'll decide that later," Deputy Nash stated.His comment caused unease among the thousands of independent cultivators and smaller organizations present. If the six major organizations were to join forces against Remus, their chances of securing the spot would be extremely slim.However, Morven and Reese couldn't help but interpret Nash's words as something akin to a collective suicide pact. They wanted to explain further, but before they could, a voice suddenly rang out across the field."Now that everyone's here, allow me to share a few words!" Everyone turned toward the source and saw that it was Remus who was speaking.Standing confidently and facing the assembly, Remus wore a fearless smile on his face as he declared, "Today, we have assembled the six major organizations, minor organizations, and cultivators of True Life here at the Tanjen Organization. "I have just three questions for you. Once I'm done, feel free to launch your attacks
"Nine!" Remus continued the countdown without a moment's hesitation.Upon hearing this, Henry and the other six members rose to their feet, prepared to confront whatever awaited them next."Eight!" His counting reverberated deeply in the hearts of all, intensifying the oppressive atmosphere and making each breath more difficult to draw."Indeed, the Herbal Pavilion has no connection to me, and the Tanjen Organization has shown me kindness. I choose to be an observer!""I had a breakthrough thanks to Tanjen Organization. To exploit them during their time of need would make me worse than beasts. I choose to observe!""I have no chance, so I also choose to observe!"Several cultivators and representatives of smaller organizations began to declare their decisions, promptly retreating 1000 yards away, with hundreds following their lead."Seven!" Remus continued to count down, unwavering in his resolve."Master, even if we don’t retreat, we should observe. We are no match for him!"
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
It was easy to tell from Paul's tone that he'd been holding it in for a long time. In fact, it wasn't just him. The other ghost kings also fell silent upon hearing this. The anger hidden within their hearts was stirred.It started with the Order of Nine Mysticisms' appearance.The Monarch of Mortals was humanity's leader, and all warriors and cultivators belonged to this group. Initially, everyone had faith in the Monarch. And, as the Pathic Energies naturally sought a vessel to inhabit, they naturally chose the first Monarch of Mortals.Later, the conflict between warriors and cultivators intensified, with the main issue being the plundering of the beast race.The warriors believed in coexistence between humans and beasts, while the cultivators viewed the beast race as inferior and thought they should be exploited.After several generations of Monarchs, the tension finally erupted, marking the beginning of the Battle of the Three Realms.At that time, even though the Monarch car
Grant realized that saying such things was somewhat self-deceptive, but he didn't know what else to say, so he fell silent. His eyes occasionally drifted toward Roman. At times like this, he felt like Roman needed to step up.Roman could feel his gaze. Despite still harboring some emotions, had no choice but to speak. After all, he was the Underworld's ruler, and they were waiting for him to make a decision. It was something he couldn't avoid.Taking a deep breath, he slowly said, "Grant is right. Remus mentioned we wouldn't interfere with each other, which means he won't trouble us anymore, and things won't be exposed for the time being."Instead of worrying about Remus, we should focus on the most pressing issues—the Pathic Energies!"He raised his head and said, "Currently, only one-third of the Pathic Energies remain in the Underworld. Although it won't affect the barrier, it still has a significant impact on us..."Roman didn't want to mention Remus anymore primarily because
