Remus must enter the sacred lands.He had dozens of Energy Replenishing Pills, dozens of inner beast cores, and two Spirit Vessels on him, all of which were his trump cards.Upon hearing Remus' words, everyone fell silent again and looked over.The person closest to Remus sneered, "Alright, as long as you go first, what's to stop me from following?""Hahaha, alright! A mere Golden Stage cultivator chose to take the lead, what do I have to fear?""Don't just talk, hurry up and go, we will all support you, hehe!"Remus couldn't be bothered to continue arguing with them and simply took a deep breath. He walked through the crowd to get to the front, where there was a forest.The forest actually led to a valley, resembling a path in the woods, with slopes on both sides.He stepped onto the path.Under everyone's gaze, he walked forward slowly. His pace was not fast because the forest was full of beasts, and it was impossible to just rush through.Being too hasty could overlook ris
As soon as Remus' words fell, all the wolf beasts stopped.They had cultivated for decades, and they naturally understood human speech.The cultivators were also stunned for a moment.What was Remus talking about? Did he just mention wanting to talk to the Wolf King?Remus looked at the Wolf King, neither servile nor overbearing, and said, "I won't take long, just a few words. It won't affect you in any way and it won't be too late to act after I've spoken!"The Wolf King stared at Remus and finally moved, slowly descending from the mountain. Its steps were very steady, exuding the demeanor of a king.As it moved, the moonlight filtered through the dense leaves, casting speckled lights upon it, making it appear even clearer.The cultivators in the distance watched this scene with wide eyes.Even though they were far away from Remus, they couldn't help but feel tense. After all, with the Wolf King being so large and of such high cultivation, it would have put pressure on anyone.
"Shall we give it a try?" he said.Upon hearing that, everyone fell silent. They were eager to try, but the risk was too great. If they failed, it would be almost equivalent to failing to enter the sacred land, and there might even be the risk of death.He continued, "If three fellow cultivators accompany me, even if we can't successfully negotiate, we can still return safely!"As long as the four of them cooperated well, he was sure they could make it back, though with some injuries, it was much better than death."I'll go with you!""I will accompany you, fellow cultivator!""Count me in!"Three people quickly stepped forward from the crowd.If that Golden Stage cultivator could achieve it, why couldn't they?They had to give it a try.Under everyone's gaze, the four walked forward steadily.They stopped slowly at the spot where Remus had been. Turning their heads to look at the Wolf King, they said loudly and clearly, "I want to talk to you!"The wolf on both sides o
Everyone's hearts trembled simultaneously.The reason sounded ridiculous, but it was indeed the only difference between the two instances. Other than that, everything was the same—they had slowly approached the pack and attempted to negotiate. There wasn't any difference."It must be!""I think that's possible!""Apart from that, there's nothing else!"Everyone nodded in agreement.After they all had spoken, the scene suddenly became silent again. Although they knew where the problem lay, no one dared to actually go for it.Going in a group yielded slight hope for survival, but one person would stand no chance at all if they failed.Silence prevailed for a good ten minutes.Finally, someone stood up and shouted, "As cultivators, we are always seeking immortality against the law of nature! If we fear even a slight difficulty in front of us, how can we progress further? If you don't dare to go, I do! If you don't dare to risk it, I do! Fellow cultivators, see you at the assess
"Three!" Remus spoke calmly and unhurriedly.Upon hearing his words, the fierce tiger's lips quivered uncontrollably.What was he doing? Was he counting down? Was he threatening it?"Two!" Remus continued the countdown without hesitation."Roar!" The tiger roared again, its roar echoing through the forest, as it started pacing back and forth in the vicinity.Those familiar with tiger beasts knew that it was gearing up to attack."One!" Remus suddenly shouted, his voice heavy and his eyes brimming with killing intent.The tiger stopped in its tracks immediately.It stared at Remus for a couple of seconds, then bent its paws and crouched on the ground, whimpering, "Woo…"It lay on the ground, slowly moving closer. It was scared and dared not attack.The fact that such a minor cultivator at the Golden stage had managed to get here surely meant he had something to rely on.If the Wolf King leading the wolf beasts was no match, then it certainly wasn't either.Most importantly,
Wilda fell silent and looked at Emerson again.Indeed, Emerson remained the sole candidate to have passed, with a significant 15 minutes elapsing without another contender in sight.That meant he was far ahead of the others. It wasn't excessive to confirm that the immortal appeared because of him."Congratulations, Master Hewitt, on acquiring a genius disciple blessed by the heavens!"Morris and the others were eager to bend over and offer their congratulations, seizing any opportunity to be close to Wilda and to butter her up.Wilda remained calm and said, "I am not a Master yet, and Emerson has not confirmed that he will cultivate with me. It is too early to congratulate.""It's not too early at all," Elena laughed and said, "After this assessment, you will be conferred the title of Master, and if not you, who else would Emerson choose? If you feel unsure, you can have him confirm his cultivation with you as his Master right now."Her statement was almost like openly advising
"Forget it!" Wilda interrupted, her voice somewhat fluctuating.Although she didn't care whether Emerson would cultivate with her or not, being rejected so directly made her feel uncomfortable.However, she wouldn't pressure cultivators just because she felt uncomfortable.She said slowly, "You should focus on meditating and breathing. Don't think too much. The second assessment will begin at dawn, so stay prepared."As soon as she finished speaking, Elena suddenly spoke up, "No!" Her frustration grew. Even if she couldn't secure a favor from Wilda, allowing her to remain unhappy was out of the question. It was clear she had mishandled the situation and now faced the urgent task of making amends.She asked sternly, "Emerson, I'm asking you one last time, are you willing or not?"Morris quickly said, "Master Hewitt will soon achieve immortality, this is your opportunity!"Kevin added, "If you miss out on Master Hewitt, you will regret it for the rest of your life!"Sandra excl
The sound of footsteps was not loud, but it was particularly grating in such a quiet environment.Everyone turned their heads to look.Elena and her group were full of expectations.Wilda's heart began to race.Emerson instantly furrowed his brows, his eyes turning cold. He had just said no one else could pass, and now someone did? It was like a slap in the face.The next moment, everyone saw the head of a tiger beast poking out from the dense forest.Elena and the others' expressions collapsed instantly, feeling a sense of despair, as if someone was showing off right in front of them and they were powerless to stop it.It was a profound disappointment.Wilda's heartbeat slowed down, a bitter smile showing under her veil. She hadn't expected that one day she would hope for a miracle to happen.Were there miracles in the world?They were all but the result of continuous effort. In that case, there were clearly no miracles.Emerson's brow relaxed, and a smug smile appeared
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
