If he truly valued his Cosby lineage, how could he have sanctioned a search party to hunt down Silver to exact revenge on Remus?They shared the same blood, and it was precisely for that reason that their mutual resentment ran deeper, and they were more ruthless toward each other.Alicia's shrieks of terror pierced the air. She pleaded, "Please spare my life! I was wrong! I'm just a woman, please, have mercy on me. I beg you ... Just spare my life, and I'll do anything you ask!"She knew Remus wouldn't be lenient, but she didn't expect him to be so merciless. From the moment he entered until now, only a minute had passed, and he had already killed Starry. She was truly terrified.Remus looked at her and said with an indifferent tone, "Your brother helped me once so I'll let you go under one condition. Let Abe Ryder manage the Cosbys!"That's just how he was, always ready to show gratitude to those who once aided him.When the Imperial Villa was in danger, Abe had led a rescue mis
Remus was taken aback by the unexpectedly large crowd here."Do you even need to ask? Why else would we be here? We've come to Tanjen for pills, not for a vacation!""Don't waste time, kneel down and apologize quickly, or I'll take action!""A mere Training Stage, I can crush you with a single finger!"Remus was mildly astounded. He hadn't anticipated such a crowd to be seeking pills on an ordinary day. He had believed the previous instance to be a one-time occurrence.In retrospect, it was obvious what was happening here. The Tanjen practitioners were clearly on a collective break, and this area served as a designated waiting spot. Now, it appeared they were deliberately causing a stir with him, likely in an effort to gain favor with Master Tanjen.Deciding to ignore arguing with them, Remus decided to join the wait. If Silver was here, she would also be biding her time. With a graceful surge of energy, he ascended into the air, taking his place among the gathered crowd.The un
Originating from the formidable Crimson Valley Organization, he commanded such respect that no one dared to challenge him.In True Life, the Crimson Valley stood as a grand and powerful organization, commanding a significant following. Oden Irving, a prominent figure, held a distinguished position among the Top Ten Greatmasters in True Life.Gafar, though not inherently gifted, possessed unparalleled conditions for cultivating immortality. Despite being only at the mid-stage of the Foundation Stage, his distinguished heritage instilled such fear that none dared to challenge him."No idea," Remus responded in a calm tone. He didn't have the inclination to argue at all. Spotting that Silver hadn't arrived, the tension in his heart finally eased. All he needed to do now was wait here."Do you truly dare to defy me?" Gafar's narrowed eyes bore into his challenger. Being openly disregarded in front of a large crowd was a harsh blow to his pride.The entire square was fixated on Remus,
The atmosphere carried an air of caution, a collective wariness of upsetting him.Gafar continued, "It's not just about them. Even in the presence of Master Tanjen, I have a certain standing. If I choose to eliminate someone here, he won't trouble me! You, don't push my limits! Tell me your identity immediately. If you refuse to do so, you ... will undoubtedly face your death! Hurry!"As he finished speaking, his gaze turned cold and harsh, cutting through the air with a merciless intensity. The hearts of all who stood witness quickened in their chests. With the climax imminent, they were just as eager as Gafar was to uncover the true identity of the enigmatic figure before them."Master Tanjen, Remus Calsberg!" Remus's response was succinct yet resolute!When Remus revealed his identity, a stunned silence swept through the crowd. Even the typically arrogant Gafar was momentarily rendered speechless. A thousand pairs of eyes widened in disbelief, jaws dropping in unison. The onlook
A thousand pairs of eyes in the square met, mirroring the bewilderment reflected in one another's gaze.While True Life couldn't rival Darsia's population of 140 million, it still boasted a significant populace. Within its borders, one could find esteemed lineages, modest sects, and traveling practitioners. Unless one possessed exceptional talents, stood out as an extraordinary individual, or hailed from a major sect, it was a Herculean task to be acquainted with every soul."Silver Cosby? Never heard of her. If Master Calsberg wishes to find her, I am willing to find her through fire and water, without hesitation!" "I will also join the search ..." They spoke up one after another, all hoping to win Remus' favor.Seizing the opportunity, Gafar stepped forward, his voice brimming with assurance. "Master Calsberg, I can mobilize the full might of the Crimson Valley Organization for the search. I guarantee you an answer within three days!"Remus paid him no mind. Waiting for three
Gafar's face darkened in rage. It was one thing to forsake his own dignity, but to dare disrespect his own father? He was no more than a lowly pill cultivator. On what basis did he have to refuse his father's request?He spoke, his voice resonating with a profound reverence, "Master Calsberg, your name reverberates through the annals of True Life. Your presence and magnificence surpass that of ordinary mortals. I may have misspoken in my earlier words, but it was solely in my endeavor to safeguard Tanjen's esteemed reputation. Therefore, I beseech you, do not allow a passing moment of ire to blemish your grace in the presence of all, before the very essence of True Life."He had a deliberate strategy, to first elevate, then apply restraint. Refraining from refining pills for Gafar would risk being seen as a sign of narrow-mindedness.Remus coldly chuckled. "The extent of my bearing isn't subject to others' judgment, only to my own mood. Today, I'm simply not fond of you. Any words?"
"Haha!" Raphaella laughed uproariously upon hearing the taunts. He looked down at the crowd, his eyes not showing any sign of fear, but rather a brazen, mocking amusement.He abruptly halted his laughter, glaring at Henry below with fury. "You, a dishonorable and shameless wretch, dare to threaten me? Are you even worthy?""Leo Tanjen and you were fellow disciples from the same sect, with decades of camaraderie. Yet, because of the rise of a scoundrel, you not only lack the intention to avenge our fellow disciples but willingly serve a fraud seeking fame and deceit. You, this kind of disgraceful wretch, dare to speak to me? Hmph!"His voice boomed, echoing and thunderous."You ... you scoundrel!" Henry's voice grew menacing, spirit energy radiating as he ascended into the air. He fumed, "The events of that day were a bet between Leo and Master Calsberg. Yet, after Leo's defeat, he turned his back on his promise. What does that have to do with me?"Thousands below gazed, aware that
The alchemists and disciples of the Tanjen Organization also rushed out. They stood below Remus, their eyes wide with fury. They had never experienced such a bold provocation before.Remus' brows furrowed. He was acutely conscious of the eyes fixed upon them. Refusing the challenge would tarnish not only Tanjen's reputation but also his own. However, agreeing to it brought forth worries about Glinda's precarious situation.He paused for a moment, then his furrowed brow relaxed into a composed expression. "I didn't say I would refuse," he began, his tone measured. "It's simply that your stature falls short. If you seek an alchemical duel, very well. Summon your Medicine Valley Sect Master to step forth in person! Besides him, no other member of Medicine Valley possesses the requisite standing to challenge me."Delaying the challenge seemed like the only option. In the worst case, he had planned to delay until after rescuing Glinda."Haha." Raphaella folded his hands behind him, eman
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
