However, with the Saint Master opening the door and revealing that Remus wasn't inside, it signified that until now, the Master still supported Grandmaster Aurelius and the others in their desire to kill Remus.This time, the Saint Master didn't avoid the question, but instead asked back, "Why? Haven't you seen clearly until now?"Wilda firmly responded "I don't understand!"The Saint Master slowly continued, "In just a few days after entering the sacred land, he caused chaos. Firstly, he killed Marc, disrupting the rules between saintly disciples and Monington disciples."After a brief pause, he continued, "Then, he set up Spirit stones, disturbing the hearts of all the disciples in the sacred land. And now, he almost caused you all to fight. Tell me, how can I keep such a person?"Upon hearing this, Wilda walked out of the room unwillingly and questioned again, "But from the beginning, he didn't intend to cause these troubles!"She asked back, "Master, if you hadn't allowed him
After Remus followed Sir Hudson away, they arrived at a spring on the mountainside. Together, they pried open the spring and swam against the gentle current of the water flow.As they emerged from the spring, they found themselves in an underground river, reminiscent of the one where they had encountered the Black Mamba before. Yet, unlike its chilly counterpart, this river exuded a stifling heat, akin to that of a steaming cauldron."I found out about this from an ancient book in the Treasure Pavilion. Following this path will lead us out of Monington," Sir Hudson explained.Remus nodded, then asked, "Would you like to return first? There's only one path here, so there shouldn't be any unforeseen obstacles."He knew that Grandmaster Aurelius and the others were scouring the area for him. If they were to discover that Sir Hudson had escorted him away, it would undoubtedly spell trouble. And above all, implicating the Saint Master was a predicament he wished to avoid.Sir Hudson co
Sir Hudson's expression turned incredulous as he exclaimed, "According to the records, the ice melts into water, trickles through, and creates a 108-yard ice cave. We should be at its entrance, but now, the volcano has become active and melted at least a hundred yards of ice."This indicated that previously, the ice extended all the way down. However, now it had melted, leaving a gap of at least a hundred yards between their current position and the bottom of the ice surface.Remys said, "The good news is that the melting speed isn't rapid. Barring any other factors, it will take hundreds of years to completely melt the ice above."As they moved further apart, the melting speed of the ice slowed down.Sir Hudson nodded. This was a blessing in disguise. He said, "I'll send you away first, then we'll find an opportunity to discuss further."With that, he soared into the air.Remus didn't dwell on it either. Leaving that place was their main concern. He followed Sir Hudson, glancing
"This..." Sir Hudson, who was about to return below, heard the commotion and soared into the air. Upon witnessing the convergence of people from all directions, his complexion shifted dramatically. He hadn't anticipated being apprehended even after leaving the sacred land.He watched in disbelief as the crowd drew closer."Stop, everyone stop, cease this at once!" he urgently bellowed."Swoosh!" The disciples who were the first to charge forward dared not confront Sir Hudson directly. They stopped in their tracks, yet the sky and the ground formed a cage, ensnaring Remus without leaving any gaps."Sir Hudson, is it truly you?" Grandmaster Aurelius and other grandmasters and masters descended from the sky, their faces contorted with anger.Despite previously suspecting Sir Hudson of escorting Remus away, witnessing it firsthand was still difficult to accept. He had no conceivable reason for such actions.Grandmaster Sylvanus approached, thundering furiously, "Sir Hudson, do you
"You're seeking death!" Grandmaster Aurelius bellowed, his eyes widening in fury as his spiritual energy surged outward.Almost simultaneously, Remus reached for the Black Jade bestowed upon him by the Emperor of the Underworld, intending to crush it as his last chance of survival.However...However, before he could act, he found himself immobilized. It felt as if all his strength had been sapped away. It was Grandmaster Aurelius.He hadn't even made a move. The moment his Heaven Energy leaked out, it enveloped Remus' body.At this moment, Remus felt a surge of panic. He knew that the Great Realm of Enlightenment represented the pinnacle of human achievement, but he never expected it to be so terrifying. Even with his Heaven Energy protecting him, he was instantly incapacitated.What was even more bewildering was that he hadn't even been conscious of retrieving the Black Jade. It had simply appeared in his hand, as if summoned by instinct.Grandmaster Aurelius continued angrily
"What are you doing, Sir Hudson?" Grandmaster Aurelius exclaimed, trembling all over once he regained his senses. Sir Hudson's act was meant to compel himself and everyone else to release Remus."Sir Hudson, you actually bowed for him?" someone exclaimed in disbelief."Sir Hudson, is your advanced age impairing your judgment?" one of the masters inquired."What has he done to deserve this from you?"Master Eythor and others questioned frantically, but the disciples were even more desperate to understand the reason behind his actions. What merit and ability did Remus possess to compel Elena to defy the thunder, then prompt Wilda to go all out, and now make Sir Hudson bow on his behalf? What gave him the right? Monington might never find another person like him! It was truly envy-inducing.Sir Hudson stood up and said, "Remus has shown me great kindness. Without his guidance, I might never have broken through to the Divine Unity Stage. It was he who awakened me from my slumber
Grandmaster Aurelius and the others stumbled and nearly collapsed to the ground. Indeed, what Elena said was true. The existence of Remus was incomprehensible yet undeniable. His strength was undeniable, and they had been reluctant to acknowledge this all along.The disciples, too, felt a chill run down their spines. They knew they couldn't match his prowess, especially after witnessing his ability to defeat Kennard.Elena pleaded, "Fellow disciples, I implore you to spare his life. His survival may be beneficial to our sacred land!"After her plea, she bowed deeply. Seeing this, Sir Hudson once again clasped his fists and implored, "I once again request you all to grant him a chance at life!"As the words fell silent, the entire hall fell into a dreadful silence.The immobilized Remus could only watch the two pleading on his behalf. Suddenly, a pang of bitterness surged within him. He had always struggled to accept kindness from others, feeling he only burdened them further. Se
When Elena broke through, she proclaimed, "I am the master of myself!"Sir Hudson's breakthrough came with the simple words, "Go with the flow!"In short, their breakthroughs weren't about reaching a higher level of cultivation. They had already reached the limit of this realm. What they needed was a spiritual elevation, a breakthrough in belief. Put plainly, they needed their own unique beliefs.Just like in martial arts, even the Martial Imperial needed his own belief. The difference lay in the fact that martial arts came earlier, while cultivation came later.Remus looked at Master Eythor, who widened his eyes in anticipation, as did the others.Remus calmly asked, "Have you considered that you may already be enlightened?"Master Eythor trembled at the words and looked at him in confusion.Remus adjusted his posture and continued, "It all hinges on timing, circumstances, and one's own disposition. Cultivation and breakthroughs operate on the same principle. For instance,
Time flew by quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already evening.Before this, Darsia's citizens were unaware of the immortals descending to their realm. However, by nightfall, it became impossible to hide this fact, as 15 bright stars appeared in the sky.Darsia's citizens had all witnessed the past battle between Remus and the Upper Realms, so the current scene felt both familiar and not to them.The familiarity came from the unusual phenomena in the sky that night. The unfamiliarity came from the fact that there were no other unusual signs apart from these 15 stars, making it much smaller in scale compared to that night.Among these 15 stars, 13 of them were white and evenly distributed across various locations in Darsia. Another was gold, hovering directly above Centuria, while the last one was only faintly visible.The gold star was a Golden Immortal leading the 13 white stars, who were Celestial Immortals. And the last one was a heavenly official.The Golden Immortal an
If they didn't surrender, the people of Darsia would face casualties in the tens of millions.Of course, the most important thing was that no matter how hard the Mortal Realm tried or resisted, it could not even land a finger on the Upper Realms. If they were to fight, the outcome wouldn't just be one-sided—they would lose by a landslide.None of them could bring themselves to say it, but they knew the responsibility for doing this unpleasant task fell on them.The sound of sobbing rang out in the conference room again.Kaiser glanced around at the women, fully aware that no one felt more aggrieved than they did. However, there was nothing he could do. Despite being the president, he was powerless.Still, he had to ask, "Do any of you disagree?"None of them responded. They had countless things to say, but they all boiled down to the fact that they were simply not strong enough. If there were even the slightest chance of victory, they would resist without hesitation.Unfortunate
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
