It was utterly unimaginable.Others might not know how formidable Hadden was, but Bartholomew and his group had suffered many losses under him. He wasn't someone so weak that he couldn't defend himself against a Golden Stage cultivator, even if it was unexpected.On the contrary, Remus was even stronger than they had imagined."You..." Hadden's face immediately turned pale, having thought a casual defense would dissipate Remus' spirit energy, only to find it unnaturally potent.Looking into the close-set eyes before him, he suddenly felt like he was looking at death itself.Fortunately, the two men at his side quickly recovered their wits. They released their spirit energy without further words, materializing maces in their hands and simultaneously smashing it toward Remus.Those weren't ordinary maces, the spikes on the head gleamed coldly, all formed from condensed spirit energy. The spirit energy would enter the body through the wound if hit, causing excruciating pain."Be ca
A cold light suddenly flashed in Remus' eyes as he stared coldly.Bartholomew trembled all over, feeling his pores explode with sweat. At that moment, his eyes were even sharper than when he faced Hadden just now.He quickly said, "Remus, please don't misunderstand… Everything just happened too fast, and we didn't have time to make a move. You can rest assured that if we encounter danger again, we will take the lead and not let you face it alone!"With that said, Pierce and his siblings all blushed. As teammates, handing him over and letting him face Hadden's trio alone was indeed immoral. They could also see that he was angry because of that.Remus' face softened, and he smiled. "You misunderstood. I really have something to take care of. Let's part ways here!"Their guess was not wrong. He was indeed very angry.Although the three of them were brought over by Bucky, Bartholomew had invited him to travel to the sanctuary assessment venue together, saying that they would take c
Pierce and Gerard also stared coldly. They all thought Remus was too arrogant, daring to say that his assessment of them had failed.Who did he think he was?Bartholomew also turned his head toward Remus.However, Remus didn't stop.The reason he had stopped earlier was that they hadn't completely fallen out yet, but now, there was no need to care about who they were. If not for the long journey ahead and the need to find Glinda and Wilda for the sanctuary assessment, why not engage in a fight if they dared to attack?Even if it meant using up all his spirit energy, he was prepared to annihilate them."I told you to stop!" Alfie spoke again, her weapon already materializing in her hand.Pierce and Gerard were ready to follow suit, prepared to strike at any moment.Remus continued on his way. "You...!" Alfie was about to make a move."Forget it!" Bartholomew suddenly spoke up, retracting his gaze. "Let him go. The sanctuary assessment is more important. Let's move on!""Bart
With Bucky leading the way, Remus didn't need to give much thought to their travel and sat cross-legged on its back, meditating. The spirit energy within Longmoon Mountains was much denser than outside. With his previous accumulation, he was on the verge of touching the peak of the Golden Stage. If he were to kill Bucky and take its inner core, he could enter the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage. It might even attract a heavenly thunder to shatter the Golden Core.However, he had never thought of killing Bucky.…Meanwhile, as Remus was making his way forward with all his might, two women stood in front of an old temple deep within the Monington Sacred Land. One looked to be around 50 years old, dressed in a light green silk robe. She gave off an ethereal feeling, almost as if she was not of this world.She spoke softly, "Over the recent days, I've guided you through the mountains. Now, we approach the threshold of the sacred land. Nestled within the Longmoon Mountains lie seve
Elena said, "The mountaintop is where the main hall of the Sacred Land is located. I will take you to your residence first. Once the assessment is completely over and all disciples have entered, we will proceed with the next arrangements."Over the past two days, Glinda had not only familiarized herself with the environment within Longmoon Mountains but also learned about the other assessment, so she didn't have much objection. She replied, "Thank you for your efforts, esteemed Master Caldwell." They then crossed the plain to reach the base of the mountain.Upon arrival, a large group of people came to greet them. "Master Caldwell!" After respectfully greeting her, they began to openly size up Glinda."She seems to be at the early stage of the Golden Stage!""Master Caldwell, are you sure she is worthy of entering the sacred land? The quality seems to decline with each generation.""It's quite normal. The so-called people of True Life are all slackers. Even with limited reso
They were clearly deliberately raising the difficulty.Seeing the changes in Glinda's expression, the smiles on their faces grew wider. They simply wanted to trouble her.The real entertainment was yet to come.They continued introducing themselves one by one.It took almost 30 minutes for nearly 100 people to finish introducing themselves.Morris said playfully, "You can start now. Remember, this is to show whether you respect your seniors. If you don't respect us, we won't be polite!"Kevin added immediately, "And you can't get a single word wrong, hehe!"Glinda had no other choice but to agree, saying with difficulty, "I'll do my best. If I make a mistake, I hope all seniors will forgive me."Then she took a deep breath, remarking, "You are Senior Morris Cooper, a cultivator of lightning cultivation, a disciple under Master Eythor Chander. You've served the Monington Sacred Land for 16 years and are currently in the late stages of the Divine Separation Stage."You are Senio
As long as Glinda made a mistake, they could punish her.Sandra's body tensed up, displeased. "Why are you all looking at me? Don't you all know how long I've been in the sacred land? She got it right!"With that, she glared fiercely at Glinda.Everyone collectively remained quiet, not knowing what to say.They had clearly set a deliberate challenge and doubted she could possibly recall every detail, yet against all expectations, she had succeeded.Glinda let out a sigh of relief, thankfully, although she had neglected her cultivation for so long, her memory had not faded.She took the initiative to first salute and said, "It's mainly because the names of the fellow seniors are so distinctive, making them memorable. That's how I could remember. I hope to depend on the seniors for more guidance in the future!""Guidance is for sure!" Morris said in a deep voice.He continued, "However, it's not yet over. The fact that Master Caldwell chose you means you must have something extra
The ones who were most shocked were not the disciples, but Morris and the other two. The fact that Senior Hewitt was going out and even taking them with her, could it mean they had caught her attention?If she were to become the Master of the sacred land, they would become her direct disciples.If she truly were to achieve immortality, they too would be remembered.The trio's excitement was palpable, their bodies trembling with anticipation.Senior Hewitt naturally did not explain to them and turned to walk down the mountain."Go back to your cultivation, hurry up and return to your training!" Morris said, his face beaming."Time is gold. Do you still want to waste time? Hurry back to your cultivation!" Kevin also shouted.Sandra glanced coldly at Glinda, thinking it was ridiculous that she had been unhappy just because Glinda could remember everyone's names and wanted to punish her.She was someone noticed by Senior Hewitt. Punishing Glinda would only dirty her hands.She qui
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
