The person who could make the immortal appear must have been... Emerson.Wilda withdrew her spirit energy completely, remaining silent.Elena turned her head and said angrily, "This is your last chance. If you dare to act recklessly again, don't blame us for being merciless!"Emerson nodded reluctantly and said, "I will heed the teachings of the Masters!"He slowly sat down, bowing his head. He swore viciously in his heart that once his cultivation was sufficient, he would avenge this humiliation.Remus also didn't mention it further and slowly sat down, but his heart had become incredibly heavy.It seemed to hold true that there would always be greater powers in the vast world. He needed to be more cautious going forward.The assessment continued.Soon, the sounds of fighting and the collision of spirit energies filled the air again.The sight of nearly 100 Nascent Soul peak cultivators battling was nothing short of spectacular, covering the sky and every direction, with the
Wilda said, "The challenge for the third round is... enlightenment!"Enlightenment?Everyone's hearts instantly lifted, becoming exceptionally surprised.They had been practicing in the Longmoon Mountains for many years, and some of them had participated in the assessment more than once and seen many forms of the assessment, but that was the first time they had heard of such a stage.Even Elena looked puzzled.She had never heard of it.Wilda was calm and unhurried as she spoke, "I will recite a technique. Listen carefully and comprehend it with your heart! As for the criteria to pass, it will be the first 15 people who can utilize the technique. Those who succeed will enter the Monington Sacred Land!" As her words fell, the crowd instantly erupted.A technique? It was actually about comprehending a technique?The arduous trip was valuable.Apart from the four sacred lands, outside cultivators had never got the chance to come into contact with techniques.Even if some so-ca
Remus became increasingly astonished.In fact, for him to summon the water element was very simple.He didn't even need to draw blood, he simply had to silently recite the Nine Mysticism spell in his heart. He could also infuse spirit energy into the summoned element, achieving an effect similar to that of a grand technique.However, there was a drawback—once spirit energy was added to the mystical spell for an attack and it was dissolved by the opponent, a backlash was inevitable. Although the severity varied, there was always a risk of injuring oneself upon acting.That was why he had not used wizardry spells infused with spirit energy for a long time."Bartholomew and the others gathered spirit energy together and also suffered a backlash... No, that's not right, what they used was not a technique, but seemed like a minor spell similar to spirits and demons. All minor elements are also considered a branch of wizardry arts."A true technique, surely, is like what Master Hewit
After saying those words, Emerson subtly puffed out his chest, his eyes gleaming with even more pride. He felt one step closer to his revenge.Under her veil, Wilda's beautiful eyes showed hesitation because... the technique given was not complete.The last round of the assessment was not only to test whether they could comprehend but also whether they could identify errors.Now, Emerson hadn't noticed the mistake but managed to display the technique, which was very odd.Seeing her hesitation, Elena whispered, "Wilda, all the cultivators are watching. If you hesitate further, it might impact your reputation, making others think you are deliberately making things difficult."Wilda said cautiously, "As you know, the technique is not complete. How could he comprehend it?"Elena smiled and said, "Who cares how he managed to use it, as long as he can, that's good. But then again, if he could integrate an incomplete technique, doesn't that prove even more that he is the person destined
The crowd was collectively stunned.Emerson also turned sharply to look.Incomplete? How could it be incomplete?Wilda said with an untroubled demeanor, "Since Romus was the first to bring it up, naturally, he deserves a reward! Romus, if you can comprehend the technique among the first 20 people, you will pass."The crowd started to stir at those words, feeling as if they had been slapped hard in the face. They had intended to flatter Emerson, but it turned out Remus was actually right.Emerson's face turned as red as if it were bleeding. His hands clenched into fists, and his face took on an unprecedented shade of gloom.How dare he! He had stolen his spotlight again!But, he hadn't stolen it completely.He simply said, "Even if it's incomplete, it would only be for certain individuals. There are additional opportunities! Some people simply don't need them."He had to save his reputation somehow.Remus didn't even look at him, continuing to meditate with closed eyes."You.
"Esteemed Masters, have I passed?""I've comprehended the technique and controlled the water element, have I passed?""Esteemed Masters, I was the 15th person to stand up, have I passed?"They were all eager to know, each voicing their questions.Emerson stopped in his tracks, glaring sinisterly at Remus.Even if Remus identified the error, even if he could be among the first 20 to comprehend it, what of it?With merely a single, strategic use of words, Emerson planned to ensure that Remus was edged out of the top 20 contenders.It was the time for Remus' doom."Uh..." Wilda also hesitated at their questions.Psychologically, she was somewhat biased toward Remus. Although he was only at the Golden Stage, he had performed outstandingly before. Moreover, they had a deep karmic connection.But given the current situation, it seemed she couldn't speak in his favor.Unable to resist, she asked, "How were you all able to suddenly comprehend it?"She was very curious about that. T
"Are you going to remain obstinate? If you're so capable, then show us you can do it. Can you?"The crowd was nearly driven mad. They had clearly passed the assessment, yet he was causing trouble.Who did he think he was?Remus' expression changed, and he said indifferently, "Who told you I couldn't?"As his voice fell, he raised his finger toward the sky without waiting for anyone to speak.Instantly, the weather changed, and clouds gathered and swirled.After just a dozen seconds, a torrential downpour began, with raindrops falling thick and fast, pattering loudly against the ground and quickly forming streams. The sound of thunder echoed, not in the sky but in everyone's minds."What the...""How is this possible?""Is this also Wizardry? Is his Wizardry this advanced?"The crowd couldn't believe their eyes.Knowing Wizardry to summon water was one thing. It became a passive skill, often because of high cultivation levels, similar to martial artists knowing a bit of med
"You!" Emerson whipped his head toward Remus, his eyes filled with endless killing intent.His spirit energy uncontrollably surged out of his body, rolling around him. He had forgotten how many times he had wanted to kill Remus, to crush him into dust.Remus was just a mere Golden Stage cultivator, so how dare he insult him over and over again!"What are you trying to do?" Wilda suddenly spoke up, her tone turning cold.If not for Remus seeing through everything, she might have been deceived by Emerson. She continued, "Romus is not wrong, you... did not truly comprehend the technique. You passed by cheating, and hereby, I declare you've failed the assessment! You may leave..."Before she could finish, Elena suddenly said, "You may continue to comprehend. Remember, this is your last chance. And the rest of you, you can also continue to comprehend. This is your last chance as well. If you dare to take shortcuts again, your qualification for the assessment will be immediately revok
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
