"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
Emerson shouted loudly, "He cheated! He was able to pass not by his own strength, but by cheating! Look, he's only at the late stage of the Golden Stage, at most he has just touched the threshold of the peak of the Golden Stage."He hasn't even reached the Nascent Soul Stage. Even if he were at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage, he wouldn't be able to enter so calmly. So, he must have cheated!"No one was allowed to embarrass him, no one. The cultivator in front of him must have cheated, otherwise how could he be more impressive than his own way of passing?Absolutely impossible.Elena and her group's expressions darkened instantly, their minds set on rebuking him.However, after taking in his words and observing him more closely, they realized that the cultivator standing before them indeed appeared to be at the late Golden Stage.How did he pass?Wilda was also surprised.Given his cultivation level, passing was outright impossible, and even attempting to sneak in amidst cha
With Wilda's words, an invisible pressure permeated the air, making it difficult to breathe and maintain composure despite the absence of any visible force.Morris and the other two turned pale.Elena also became uneasy.It was well known that in the Monington Sacred Land of today, only a few dared to disrespect Wilda."She... is very strong!" Remus couldn't help but look at Wilda.He felt great pressure facing Emerson, and yet Wilda was strong enough that she could render Emerson completely helpless.Her cultivation level must be beyond imagination.Emerson clenched his fists, his eyes fierce, yet he dared not speak out. It was not the time to confront her directly. He would wait until he entered the sacred land, followed in the footsteps of the Saint Master in his cultivation, and progressed rapidly. When he became strong enough to reach her level, then he would seek revenge.He gritted his teeth and said, "I will follow the teachings of Master Hewitt!"Wilda did not overl
Remus sat down slowly, preparing to meditate.Just as he sat down, he felt a cold gaze from the side.Turning his head, he found Emerson staring at him with a gloomy look.Emerson sneered with contempt."Asshole!" Remus cursed in a voice only the two of them could hear."You!" Emerson was so angered that he trembled all over, wishing he could kill him right there and then, but he dared not act rashly in the presence of Wilda.He could only withdraw his gaze and continue to absorb spirit energy.Remus didn't bother with him any further either, solely focusing on his meditation.Time slipped by, minute by minute.One hour…Two hours… Three hours…After three grueling hours, a cultivator finally made his entrance into the assessment venue, presenting a sight of utter disarray.His disheveled appearance contrasted sharply with Remus' heroic figure, who entered riding on the tiger.Despite bearing no visible wounds, his attire was in tatters, and his spirit energy fluctuated
Wilda said, "The second assessment is... a duel! Each person must choose an opponent, and only by defeating that opponent can one pass."Everyone was stunned at her announcement.A duel? They just needed to defeat one opponent to pass? Didn't that sound too easy?Compared to the difficulty of the first round, it was like heaven and earth.The cultivators all breathed a sigh of relief, smiles appearing on their faces.Elena also looked puzzled at the sudden shift in the difficulty of the rules, but seeing Wilda's stance, she understood the implication.The first round was to weed out the weak, selecting those above a certain standard.The second round was to meticulously choose.After all, there might be those who managed to pass through trickery, like that Romus Lowe, who would definitely become a target. It would be impossible for him to pass this round.As the field's attention subtly shifted toward Remus, who was only at the Golden Stage and could be easily taken down with
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
