"You're seeking death!" Don became anxious.Xavier could be shameless in front of everyone, but Don couldn't let himself be made a fool of. His spirit energy surged, and he prepared to confront Xavier directly."Stop!" Garfield suddenly spoke up, "I've said, no one is to act while the Energy Replenishing Pill is being given. Whoever dares to make a move is declaring themselves as my enemy!"He had set his sights on Xavier and had to protect him.Don dared not act, and even Ambrose who was outside the curse didn't dare to voice his anger.Garfield raised his hand and threw the Energy Replenishing Pill to Xavier. Xavier didn't hesitate and swallowed it immediately.He exclaimed with excitement, "Indeed, it's an Energy Replenishing Pill from the Herbal Pavilion! It doesn't just restore ten percent, but it rejuvenates at least 20 percent of my spirit energy!"He then soared into the air, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked down at everyone, sneering, "Don, do you da
Everyone witnessing the scene was almost driven mad.He still had more?How could he still have more?After destroying ten stalks, he had another ten."Uh..." Zaiden and the others were dumbfounded."Impossible, what nonsense is this!" Garfield stammered."Why does it feel like he's monopolized all the luck in the world?" Even Xavier couldn't contain himself anymore, feeling an urge to cry.He had thought that victory was still in his grasp when Remus brought out one Oblivion Grass. Remus then retrieved another ten stalks, but Master Warner said it didn't count. And now that he had brought out ten more, it was simply beyond reason.How could there be such a stroke of luck in this world?Don and the others were even more devastated, regretting their earlier hostility toward Remus.If they had allied with him from the start, could they have also received an Energy Replenishing Pill?What they felt at that moment was pure misery.Remus urged, "Master Warner, I want to exchange
"If you want to challenge Remus, you'll have to get past me first!" A voice suddenly shouted out.It was none other than Windsor. His face visibly reddened, and the spirit energy around him began to recover rapidly. After consuming a few Energy Replenishing Pills, he had regained at least 20 percent of his spirit energy, even at the Divine Separation Stage.His 20 percent increase created an immense gap, even for those at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, let alone for those in their injured state.The cultivators froze in place and looked at Windsor with fear in their eyes. Even a slight move from him would spell their downfall, there was no way they could pass the stage. Their bodies trembled uncontrollably.Even Xavier, who was suspended in mid-air, turned pale with fear, unsure whether to continue his attack or not.To attack or not to attack?That was the question.Windsor saw them hesitating to speak and turned his gaze back to Remus.His gaze carried a mixture of emoti
A deadly silence fell over the scene.Everyone seemed to have turned into stone, frozen in place.Remus possessed 174 stalks of Oblivion Grasses, merely two short of doubling Garfield's pill count.Could that really be true? How could he have found so many Oblivion Grass?The Oblivion Grass was a relatively normal herb, often overlooked by people who encountered it. However, Remus managed to leverage this seemingly inconspicuous herb to secure top-grade pills from the Herbal Pavilion, leaving everyone else envious.It appeared as though he had monopolized all the good fortune in the world.After what seemed like an eternity, the scene finally began to stir, and all eyes turned to Garfield. Despite Remus being annoying, he did indeed possess 174 Oblivion Grass.Would Garfield exchange with him?"Take them all, I have none left!" Garfield tossed the Energy Replenishing Pills over in frustration. He couldn't allow his reputation to suffer, especially with so many spectators.
Xavier kneeled.The members of the Freestyle Organization stood at the edge of the curse, their hearts sinking with dismay as they watched Xavier kneel, feeling utterly powerless to help. Zaiden and the other Masters also frowned, their faces filled with resentment.Remus turned his head slowly toward Don as he questioned, "Why haven't you knelt like everyone else?"Don's mouth twitched slightly at the sight.Who did Remus think he was? He just happened to get the Oblivion Grass by luck, so why should Don kneel to someone weaker than him?However, beggars couldn't be choosers.Bending his knees, he knelt as well.Ambrose brought his hand up to his chest, feeling as if he were on the verge of having a heart attack.Don was a peerless genius hidden secretly by the Violet Sanctum, but he was publically kneeling to some nobody. What a disgrace."Since you have a good attitude, I won't torture you," Remus said lightly.He then casually added, "Disperse their spirit energy, leave
Xavier and Don exchanged a look of profound relief as Halbert made his announcement. It was the news they had been desperately hoping for.If the third stage hadd involved combat once more, regardless of any tricks or schemes employed, they would have been utterly powerless. All because that damned Remus possessed a staggering 88 Energy Replenishing Pills.They would be at his mercy in any confrontation. They hoped that this last stage would end quickly.Halbert continued, "The third stage is named 'The Devil Inside,' indicating it delves into the deepest recesses of your psyche, where your innermost devil lies. "In this stage, success hinges on your ability to confront and overcome your inner turmoil. Failure means failing the entire assessment. Even the renowned Violet Saint stumbled at this hurdle, so exercise utmost caution. Let's begin without further delay. Remain stationary, and you'll go one by one!"As he finished speaking, he first looked toward Windsor. The moment he
Halbert let out a sigh of relief, he had pondered the unique innermost devil each individual must confront—secrets buried deep within one's heart, unknown to others. Yet, as everyone had anticipated, Windsor's trial seemed manageable. He only needed to kill those two people. Killing them was equivalent to forgetting his emotions, and forgetting his emotions naturally would break his innermost devil.Remus turned his head to look at Windsor, curious to know what actions he would take."I cannot bring myself to kill them," Windsor declared firmly. He added, "No parent in this world would be considered unfilial. My existence is a gift from them, and their desire to reclaim what is theirs is just to me. My mom advised me to approach all beings with kindness and to look for the goodness in everyone. "If someone's gaze harbors ill intent, it's better to look away and stay true to oneself."The elder immediately retorted, "But that woman is not your mother, and that man has already
Everyone was simultaneously stunned as they watched the scene.What was wrong with Don? Why did he seem so abnormal?Don was oblivious to everything around him. He continued with an exaggerated laugh, "I have passed the assessment, I have entered sainthood, and I will surely become immortal in the future."As he spoke, he lost his footing and fell to the ground. He didn't get up but lay there continuing to shout, "I have ascended, I am the pride of True Life, I will be the center of attention! You old folks, come here and kneel. Come and worship me, hahaha!"Everyone gasped in shock, finally understanding everything.Don... had gone mad.Ambrose and the others from the Violet Sanctum couldn't believe it. They had secretly cultivated Don for many years, refining both his cultivation and temperament.How could he be so fragile?Did he really fail to enter the sacred land?"Shit!" Zaiden's expression darkened. He had considered allowing Don entry into the Shenington Sacred Land
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
