Kylie and Jean were left speechless by Joe's explanation as there was simply no way to refute it.Gemma secretly showed a hint of disdain toward them.Then, pretending to be helping them by voicing their doubts, she asked, "Then why did you rely on Remus' influence for the opening ceremony before? Why didn't you invite your friends?"This question made everyone shudder. That was the question. Why hadn't his friends shown up at the opening ceremony?Joe shook his head with a bitter smile."As the saying goes, 'Brothers aren't simply close; brothers are knit together.' I... just didn't want to steal my brother's spotlight. He is the true Master of the Cosby family, with talents and strength that are unparalleled. "As his brother, I am willing to be a gentle breeze, pushing him to greater heights! Besides, my connections are my trump card. If it weren't for today's crisis interfering with Kylie and Jean, I probably would never have revealed them. Now that I have, it's all to safe
Remus had entered the secluded Monington Sacred Land with Wilda.Bartholomew and the other cultivators followed them in.As for Emerson, he also came along but was being carried as he was still unconscious."Is this the Monington Sacred Land? It's like a paradise on earth!""Monington Sacred Land, I've finally arrived..." "It feels like a dream, almost unreal!"Everyone exclaimed in amazement, unable to contain their emotions.Remus was captivated as he gazed upon the expansive plains, the weaving rivers, and the verdant trees. The beauty of this place was beyond imagination. Yet, what truly astonished him was the volcano at the plain's heart.Its base was ringed with lush greenery, its slopes adorned with dark rocks, and its peak capped with pristine snow. That single volcano appeared to embody all four seasons, and it was majestic, breathtaking, timeless, and enigmatic.Wilda spoke with a serene tone, "Welcome to the Monington Sacred Land, your home for the years ahead. The
The mood of the crowd eased a bit, but there was not the same excitement as before.After all, only one out of the seven immortals of Monington Sacred Land was a sacred land disciple, and the chances of obtaining immortality was too slim. Their hope of becoming immortals was not set in stone, just a possibility that might be fulfilled."Let's go!" Without further explanation, Wilda led everyone forward.Soon, they arrived at the foot of Mt. Sacred. Just like when Glinda entered the sacred land, a large group of people came bustling over. "Master Hewitt!" They greeted her respectfully. Although Wilda wasn't a Master yet, the fact that the Saint Master had assigned her the task of overseeing the examination spoke volumes. Calling her a Master was not an overstatement.However, Wilda didn't look at them.She turned and instructed, "Take them to their temporary accommodations.""Alright!" Morris and the others nodded respectfully.Wilda's demeanor softened noticeably as she ad
They were using the same old trick. Their approach was exactly the same as when Glinda entered the Sacred Land. The only difference was that Morris had initiated it before, and this time it was them.They all looked at Remus with a playful expression.Although Wilda favored him and he might be extraordinary, the master they followed was not Wilda, so they had nothing to fear.Besides, he was just a mere peak Golden Stage cultivator.Remus couldn't help but frown. He maintained politeness toward them, yet they took it as an opportunity to push the boundaries.However, he refrained from displaying immediate irritation, instead choosing to reply with a composed demeanor, "Very well, I'm keen to know more about you all.""It's a deal!" The person who spoke quickly sealed the agreement, still holding a grudge for not having been able to torment Glinda. With a new person entering, they didn't want to miss the opportunity.He hurriedly said, "My name is Ted Turner, currently at the m
"I wonder if Glinda has chosen her Master. If not, she must be in one of these residences, right?"Remus strolled along the path in front of the residences, feeling for Glinda's energy. More precisely, he sought her distinctive scent.The Oblivion Grass had camouflaged her natural fragrance during the sanctuary assessment, but the air now was crisp and unmarred by any peculiar odors, rendering her scent easier to detect.Suddenly, a door opened to the side.A middle-aged cultivator dressed in a cloth robe stepped out, pausing in surprise upon seeing Remus on the path.Frowning, he asked, "Who are you?"Remus was fueled by the excitement of potentially finding Glinda and was unfazed by the man's tone.He performed a respectful fist-and-palm salute and replied, "Greetings, fellow cultivator. My name is Remus Clayton, recently admitted as a sacred land disciple following the assessment. I am in search of my assigned residence."He couldn't mention that he was looking for someone.
At the foot of the mountain, the last of the sacred land disciples was introducing himself. "I am a disciple of Master Erjon Windrow, currently in the mid-stage of the Divine Separation Stage, and have been a disciple at the Monington Sacred Land for eight years!"As he finished speaking, he turned his head proudly to look behind him.Dozens of sacred land disciples also looked up the mountain with interest, eager to see if Remus really could remember all the details, if he really had the so-called "clairaudience" skill.It wasn't just them, but Kevin, Bartholomew, and others were also curious.One second.Two seconds.Three seconds.A full ten seconds had passed.There was no sound from the front, nor was there any sign of Remus returning.Ted's eyes shifted as he spoke, "Mr. Clayton, you can start now. Everyone is waiting to see your performance. Don't keep us waiting, haha." His words prompted laughter among the onlookers. However, as the laughter subsided, seconds cont
Remus was truly out of his mind!Bartholomew and others thought for a moment, not wanting to miss such a spectacle. No matter how powerful Remus was, could he really defeat dozens of Divine Separation Stage cultivators?It was simply impossible.They too hurriedly followed behind.…On the mountainside, the Monington disciples were still sizing up Remus, their eyes devoid of any respect for a fellow sacred land member.Their gazes weren't even that of looking at a person.Remus met their eyes, focusing on the middle-aged man who had struck him earlier. Expressionless, he said, "After entering the sacred land, Master Hewitt indeed told us not to enter the residences of the Monington disciples on the right side. I entered here by mistake. I've disturbed your meditation, I can apologize, accept punishment, or even offer compensation. But why did you hit me?"Everyone paused, then burst into raucous laughter, some doubling over as if they had heard the biggest joke in the world
The tone of the crowd wasn't as playful as before, but it was clear they were egging the situation on.Marc's face instantly became hot with embarrassment. Remus apologizing and giving a fist-and-palm salute was already big enough of an insult to him, not to mention daring to release his spirit energy to resist.It would have been better if no one had witnessed it, but unfortunately, so many people were at the scene. Remus' bold defiance against him was likely to become a long-standing topic of ridicule among his peers.Marc said with a fierce snarl, "Do you think I wouldn't dare cripple you?"Remus stepped forward slowly, saying as he walked, "You slapped me based on arrogance, disrespect, and the belief that your actions toward me will bear no consequences. I do not initiate conflict, but I will not hesitate to kill those who provoke me!"He had barely finished speaking when he stopped walking, still some distance from Marc. Seeing his stance, the Monington disciples became
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
