Remus continued enjoying his roasted wild chicken while calmly watching the scene from a mile away.Crowds of people were arriving in groups at the Spiritual Trial Stone. They were all sacred land disciples who had been hiding in their mountain-side residences. They wore expressions of mourning, having already learned of the events in the woods.It was hard not to notice such a commotion, and they were well aware that prominent disciples like Morris, Emerson, and Kevin had been deemed "rubbish" by the Spiritual Trial Stone.They didn't want to go as it was too embarrassing.Unexpectedly, Kevin's sudden outcry forced everyone to emerge from their dwellings.If they failed to show up, it would tarnish not just their own reputations but also those of their Masters."Could this assembly yield 700 cups of spirit energy?" Remus pondered quietly.The turnout was substantial, with their abilities ranging widely.Some at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage could barely muster two drops o
Remus was bewildered and sat back down.His gaze was intense as he asked, "Are you showing concern for me? Glinda, not only are you beautiful, but your heart is kind as well. I'm so touched."Glinda detected the ambiguity in his words and slightly furrowed her brow.Why did his tone sound exactly like that scoundrel Remus Cosby?She had pondered over that the entire night.But Remus Cosby was not a cultivator and his spirit energy was minimal."Why don't you join me for a drink?" Remus asked with a smile."And maybe you could explain why you and that Remus are mortal enemies."Remus couldn't understand at all.From their first encounter, she had sworn to kill him. And then, even after knowing he was Remus Calsberg, she still wanted him dead.It was confusing.Glinda gave a slight shake of her head. "I'm willing to join you, but I won't drink."As she took her seat, she wondered if he really was Remus Cosby.A test would soon reveal the truth.She went on, "Our history is
All the sacred land disciples watched the Monington disciples with displeasure in their eyes. Despite being looked down upon by the Monington disciples all this time, being insulted so blatantly still made it hard for them to accept.Especially since there were so many of them.The dozen Monington disciples remained unfazed, their disdain only growing."What are you looking at? Keep staring and I'll gouge your eyes out!" "Letting you all be here is just a waste of resources for the sacred land. If I were you, I'd be too ashamed to stay.""Haha, a bunch of narrow-minded rubbish!" At those words, the sacred land disciples' anger intensified.Sandra stepped forward, her tone displeased as she spoke, "How can you speak to us in such a manner? We're just here to test our spirits, and we never offended you. Why insult us?"Morris was visibly frustrated as well. "We may not be as skilled as you, but remember, you were also once a sacred land disciple. Don't forget where you came fr
The Monington disciple quickly confirmed the bet, wary that Remus might take back his words.He then turned to the other sacred land disciples and said with a taunting tone, "What about you all? Will you bet? I'm giving you a chance. If you lose, you just need to kneel and bow to me three times. Do you dare?"The entire place fell silent.Those Monington disciples were certain to produce a different result on the Spiritual Trial Stone.Only someone with a deficient mind like Remus would gamble with them.Anyone with a brain wouldn't do it.The Monington disciple disdainfully said, "As expected, all of you are rubbish, cowards!" All the sacred land disciples felt a shiver down their spines and glared fiercely at Remus. If it weren't for his reckless talking, they would have just been insulted a couple of times and it would have ended there. It was his fault for causing a scene and getting them insulted even more.He truly deserved to die.Remus repeated calmly, "Indeed, all ru
As the Monington disciple finished speaking, silence once again enveloped the crowd.All the sacred land disciples, the dozen Monington disciples, and even Glinda were gaping in disbelief.Did the Spiritual Trial Stone really declare a Monington disciple as "rubbish"?It was incredulous!"Refreshing!" Remus drained the spirit energy from his cup in one gulp, a look of satisfaction on his face.That single Monington disciple had managed to produce two and a half cups of spirit energy!He had 32 and a half cups in total now.What a fortune!He then spoke up, "Hurry up and fulfill the bet. Five inner cores, hand them over!""Shut up!" The Monington disciple suddenly turned, his eyes glaring fiercely.He snapped, "Are you blind? The Spiritual Trial Stone is broken, it's useless. If it were working properly, how could I be 'rubbish?'" He still couldn't believe he was deemed "rubbish". Since the day he began his path of cultivation, no one had ever said that to him."It's not
Gah!A sharp sound halted the Monington disciples. They trembled uncontrollably with anger. "What do you mean you're not getting in our way? You're already in our way!"There was no need for Remus Cosby to say more. Even the saintly disciples said, "We also want to see what a prodigy looks like!""This is the perfect opportunity for us to showcase our abilities. How can we possibly leave now?""Our cultivation may be inferior, and our comprehension is lacking, yet we grow stronger with each setback. We are always moving forward, unlike some arrogant fellows who leave at the slightest hint of difficulty.""If this gets out... we'll become the laughingstock."This was a once-in-a-lifetime chance they couldn't afford to miss.The years of humiliation they endured demanded retribution.With a swift movement, the dozen Monington disciples turned around simultaneously and snarled.They bellowed, "Shut your mouth and cut the bullshit!!""Do you want to test our spiritual power?
Glinda's attention had been forward, but she clearly saw from the corner of her eye. He was drinking one cup after another.The amount of wine he drank exceeded the capacity of the wine pot on the wooden table.But most importantly, the wine in the pot didn't decrease."Uh..."Remus was at a loss for words. He had distanced himself precisely to avoid being noticed. Yet, he was still seen.Fortunately, it was Glinda who had noticed him.She picked up a cup, smiled, and said, "Try it, and you'll know. Although there's none left here, you can still catch a whiff of it. Have a sniff."Swish!Glinda's expression turned sour upon seeing his frivolous demeanor.After a moment of thought, she said, "Remus, I don't care what you're drinking, but please have some self-respect. And I won't tolerate this attitude of yours! Also, I had a companion before I became a saint. So, you may forget about me! Otherwise, I won't see you again!"Gah!Remus listened dumbfoundedly. He wasn't sure wha
"Senior Davidson!"Suddenly, one of the previous Monington disciples spoke up. He pointed towards Remus deep in the wood and said with a malicious voice, "That guy over there... He won our Inner pills!"A rustle spread through the crowd as everyone's gaze swiftly turned in that direction.They seethed with rage when they saw Remus's relaxed and contented demeanor, and the mountainous pile of Inner pills on the wooden table.Kennard sneered disdainfully. "It seems like sitting here drinking and eating meat is just a facade. His real purpose is to obtain Inner pills. I've also heard that he can swallow Inner pills without suffering any backlash. It looks like he's still harboring the thought of having a decisive battle with me."Upon hearing this, everyone immediately responded."He's just an attention-seeking nobody overstepping his boundaries!""I might have respected him for just enjoying his food and drink, but it'll simply be stubborn ignorance if he's still thinking about fi
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
