Boom!One single word struck like a thunderbolt, shaking the souls of everyone present. It made them tremble and gradually froze!They looked back at the spiritual trial stone, still seeing the word "Genius" shimmering, and the thunderous roar echoed in their minds again!Even though they were witnessing it, they couldn't believe it.However, they understood that facts were facts."No... it can't be, it definitely can't be!"A Monington disciple in the crowd despaired, clinging to the hope that the spiritual trial stone was wrong moments ago. But now, he felt that it was hopeless.It wasn't just him. The morale of everyone present collapsed instantly.Initially, there was a glimmer of comfort in their hearts. Even if the spiritual trial stone wasn't wrong, everyone was a Fool anyway. No one could say anything about anyone else. They wondered who could have truly changed the inscription on the spiritual trial stone, realizing that it must be someone exceptional.That person was
Just as he was about to speak, a figure rushed over.It was a middle-aged female saintly disciple. She bit her lip and said, "Remus, I knew you were talented, but I never expected you to be this exceptional. Your talent has exceeded my imagination! You are truly outstanding!"Remus glanced over casually, not interested in her flattery.He asked casually, "Do you have something to say?"The female disciple blinked her eyes and said, "You are really smart. No wonder you have such talent. I want... I want to accompany you for these next two days. Wherever you go, whatever you do, I can accompany you."She added, I... I won't refute any of your commands!"After speaking, she straightened her chest and even gave Remus a flirtatious look, clearly expressing her meaning.Glinda frowned slightly when she saw this. She felt that this woman should be more dignified, given her age. She couldn't believe her words.Remus couldn't help but laugh at her. He asked, "Are you waiting for me to d
"Um..."Elena could only nod because there she felt responsible for this. The blame had been shifted to her. She could only say, "Since you have all tried, then let's go back. Take this as a lesson and work hard in your cultivation. Someday, you will also be able to change the characters on the spiritual trial stone."Despite hearing her comforting words, everyone still felt uneasy. The blow was truly too heavy for them. They were about to speak until…"Go back!" Elena's suddenly raised her voice.Hearing this, no one dared to speak anymore. They could only silently turn around and leave, all looking like they had been through a disaster.Emmerson glared fiercely at Remus and felt like crying. He couldn't help but think there would be no peace if one were born to cultivate.Kennard's expression became even more ferocious. His eyes narrowed to slits as he stared at Remus. In two days, he vowed to make him die a miserable death.The sound of footsteps grew farther and farther aw
"As long as you resolve their despair, I... I can promise you one condition," Elena said.Remus casually popped a pellet into his mouth and chuckled, "But I don't need anything. I have no desires or needs. Watching them go mad is my greatest pleasure. Whether they live or die has nothing to do with me. And whether you need me is none of my concern."He said this just to provoke Elena and then eagerly consume the pills. After all, he knew time waits for no one. He also wanted to see what realm he could reach after devouring these pills.Indeed, Elena was so enraged by his words that she wished she could kill him right then and there. But the next moment, her entire body trembled. Her eyes stiffened as she quickly looked at Remus.Her expression became manic when asked, "What did you just say?""None of my concern!" Remus replied."Not that sentence, the one before it!" Elena's voice suddenly became louder.Remus hesitated momentarily, then replied, "I said, What's the point of th
Her body rose higher and higher, reaching the level of the mountain peak. At this moment, Elena seemed like a different person. There was no more trembling or fear, no more panic or tension. She appeared calm and serene, like the sky after a storm. Her gaze held no confusion, only profound depth."What...?" Remus looked up in astonishment, thinking she would lie down. He wondered why she was ascending and if her reaction differed from those of others.Before he could think more, Elena slowly placed her hands behind her back and calmly said, "I am the master, and you shall serve me."After she uttered those words, there was a loud crack from within Monington as soon as they fell. More precisely, it originated around Elena, as if her surroundings were trembling.The next moment, cracks appeared. It wasn't illusory but real, spreading like veins throughout the space around Elena before extending to thousands of feet."Is the space breaking?" Remus exclaimed, witnessing such a bizarre
One had to delve further into the Great Ealm of Enlightenment before finally ascending to become immortal! Who could have imagined that the most foolish, least expected Elena would achieve enlightenment?Wilda initially showed a hint of surprise, as her thoughts were similar to most people's. Master Eythor and Master Erjon could achieve enlightenment, but it was unthinkable for Elena to do so. But now, she accepted it calmly, even lowering her head to glance at... Remus in the woods! In her eyes, there was a trace of helplessness and sympathy.Remus had already withdrawn his gaze, cursing inwardly. He thought she was going to do something to him. Although she was quite old, she still looked good. He thought it wouldn't be bad to have her lie down in front of him and enjoy the show while he drank his wine and ate his pills. He never thought that she would have a breakthrough."I haven't had a breakthrough yet, and you've actually made one. Shameless," he muttered as he sat back d
Hmm?Remus looked at her with surprise. He wondered why he felt something different.Seeing his gaze, Elena blushed and gritted her teeth. "Gratitude should be repaid with greater kindness. Moreover, it was with your guidance that I was able to comprehend.""So, you can request anything from me!"After saying that, she closed her eyes slowly, looking resigned.Remus finally understood. He was at a loss for words and said, "I have no interest in older women, really, I don't. You can go now. I still need to cultivate."He indeed had no requests.He couldn't really do anything to her. He wondered what Glinda and Wilda would think if the news became public.He couldn't let her go to the spiritual trial stone and drink the Spirit Liquoir. He felt that if someone saw that, there would be no way to explain it!Elena suddenly opened her eyes again, gritting her teeth in frustration. She wondered why he always had to use the word "old" and couldn't choose a different term.But she cou
Remus didn't know how long he had been thinking. When he reached out and felt something was wrong, he moved his hand again and felt even more uneasy. He looked down."Hmm?"He was stunned when he saw what was in front of him. The pile of pills on the wooden table was gone! Not a single one left!"Did I finish them all already? No! I haven't got my breakthrough yet!"He suddenly stood up, looked around, and searched everywhere. There were no pills on the ground. Sensing the immortal energy in his body, he found it had reached its peak, and he even felt that all his meridians had expanded by one circle. The Golden Stage Energy in his body was getting more intense!"How could this be?"His expression became increasingly shocked. According to reason, before reaching three hundred pills, he should have attracted the Thunder Hall to assist him in breaking through the Golden Stage and reaching the Nascent Soul. He wondered why it was nowhere to be seen."Could it be..."He suddenly
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
