"Just based on my three words, Gareth!" Gareth's voice was firm as he declared, "Here, no one, no demon dares to oppose me!"He paused for a moment before adding, "You are the first to dare to oppose me, even to kill me!"Upon hearing this, Remus's spiritual energy dissipated instantly, descending from the air. He said slowly, "If you dare to deceive me, I will still kill you."Gareth shook his head, "You will soon realize how foolish your words are."Finally, he clasped his hands solemnly and said, "I am Gareth, a casual cultivator of the Monington."Remus also seriously clasped his hands and said, "Remus Clayton, a true cultivator."He couldn't use his real name. Caution was necessary.However, Gareth trembled when he said this name and exclaimed, "Remus?"His eyes were even more shocked than before.Remus asked in surprise, "Is there a problem?"This name had been used in the Monington before, but in everyone's minds, he had long been killed by the nine hundred and ninety-
They walked for a full three hours.Encountering cultivators and demonic beasts along the way was not uncommon. Among them were some demonic beasts with higher cultivation levels. However, without exception, they all hurriedly retreated upon seeing him approach.Upon seeing him approach, some who hadn't noticed beforehand would respectfully address him as "Mr. Bohner."Remus also received some respectful glances.Remus originally wanted to initiate a conversation to probe his background, but he thought better. It was enough for him to fulfill his promise and lead him into the Shenington. He wondered what was the point of being bothered.Soon enough, they crossed several mountains.Standing at the mountaintop and looking down, they saw a swampy area shrouded in mist, extending for dozens of miles. At first glance, it seemed like clouds, but the fog here was pink, unlike most mist.Pink, when placed anywhere else, would excite people. Yet here, it could be referred to as a miasma.
"I'm feeling the toxicity of the haze." Remus finally smiled, "Indeed, the haze of the Sacred Land is much more intense than I imagined. Without defense, I can't last more than ten breaths."When studying medicine with his master in the mountains, he was similar to the Divine Husbandman. He had tasted various herbs, including highly toxic ones. His body had long developed antibodies and immunity to poisons. But here, it was different.Gareth was stunned once again. He wondered what it meant for something not to last more than ten breaths. A Divine Separation Stage cultivator couldn't even last one breath, let alone reach the peak of the Soul Formation realm, which couldn't last ten breaths. He was... Bluffing."Can you do it?" Gareth asked."Not a problem, let's go!" Remus smiled and took the lead to walk downhill.Although the haze was poisonous, it couldn't withstand Heaven Energy. If one closes one's breath first and then uses Heaven Energy to protect oneself, one can quickly p
Upon hearing this voice, Gareth's body visibly trembled.He wondered who was the "ass" he mentioned.As they looked, a young cultivator emerged from the haze. He was about the same age as Gareth, with a long face and narrow eyes that exuded a thick sense of mockery.That person was Toby Abson!Seeing him, the surrounding cultivators all stepped back, keeping their distance, appearing even more wary than towards Gareth.Gareth coldly said to him, "Do you have a death wish?"There was no need to be polite with someone he had never gotten along with."Hahaha." Toby laughed arrogantly and sarcastically. He stopped laughing and said with a playful tone, "Long time no see, Gareth. Your temper seems to have grown. Congratulations, you got the answer right. But... What can you do to me? Can you beat me, or can you kill me? Hmm?"Gareth's face turned even more red upon being questioned. He clenched his fists, surrounded by spiritual energy. If he could defeat Toby, he would have done so
Without warning, he struck out with a surge of spiritual energy directly aimed at Remus.Such spiritual energy could easily obliterate a peak Nascent Soul cultivator!However, it was directed at Remus.Remus quickly raised his hand, releasing spiritual energy to block the attack. However, his body was forced to retreat more than ten meters backward. Due to the previous fight with Gareth, he consumed too much energy, leaving him with less than two layers of protection."Hmm?" Toby was stunned to see Remus resisting his attack. He had never expected Remus to dare to resist, let alone successfully block it.The surrounding cultivators were also startled, feeling that Remus was somewhat unusual. But... It was only a minor surprise."Looks like you've got a death wish!" Gareth couldn't tolerate it any longer and unleashed his spiritual energy.Giant green vines again burst out of the ground, resembling four dragons. They swiftly charged towards Toby.Seeing this scene, the surroundi
"First, slap your master ten times on my behalf and become my dog from now on!""Second, kneel and beg me to spare your master in front of me.""Third, die!"Remus had never been regarded highly by Toby; he was merely a dog by Gareth's side, suitable for biting people. The cultivators all looked over, silent as the grave. Suddenly, some of them felt a bit sympathetic towards him. Although he usually followed Gareth around arrogantly, encountering Toby, he could only blame his bad luck.Before Remus could speak, Gareth exploded. "Today, if you dare to harm him in the slightest, I will make sure you suffer a fate worse than death! Even Ricardo won't be able to save you!"At this moment, he no longer bore the elegant demeanor he once had when they first met. He appeared to be on the brink of collapse, provoked and helpless.Toby sneered disdainfully and said, "Do I dare? Don't you already know?" He then turned to Remus. "Make your decision quickly. My patience is running thin. Don't
Gareth roared in excitement. The surrounding cultivators' hearts raced, filled with fear. While it was confirmed that survival among cultivators often meant the strong preying on the weak, it rarely involved such brutal methods. The sight before them was truly pitiful.Just as Toby's blade was about to strike...A bright white light flashed across the scene. It was blindingly intense. Some of the nearby cultivators instinctively raised their arms to shield their eyes. The pink haze around them even seemed to turn transparent, illuminating the surroundings within the haze!The sudden appearance of the white light was startling and vanished even more quickly.In the blink of an eye, the white light disappeared, and Remus was seen holding a long blade in his hand. Toby's blade was stopped just about three inches above his head.The next moment, Toby's blade disappeared, and he staggered back two steps. But after those two steps, his upper body suddenly fell off from his left shoulder
Suddenly, a voice came from the side. At the moment when Toby's spiritual body ruptured, the wooden vines that had been entwined around Gareth also dispersed. He quickly walked over and intercepted Remus. He was visibly shaken.He was still quite confused, utterly shocked that Remus could kill Toby with a single strike. After all, they had just engaged in a fight moments ago.He wondered how he could be so abnormal. He realized Remus could've killed him anytime he wanted.It was too monstrous!He hurriedly stopped Remus, struggling to speak, "You can't kill him. If you let him die like this, Ricardo will never let you off!"Rushing over, other cultivators also leaked their spiritual energy as they couldn't help Toby regain his entire body. However, they could forcibly extend his life with their spiritual energy.Remus halted his steps, furrowing his brow. "Not kill him? After what he did to you, you still won't kill him?"He couldn't understand Gareth's mindset.Gareth's face c
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
