Remus spent the entire night meditating and absorbing spirit energy.The dense spirit energy in the Violet Sanctum was a blessing for ordinary cultivators. However, it was still far from enough for Remus. The spirit energy he absorbed throughout the night still couldn't get him to the Foundation Stage."Although I'm currently stuck at the peak of the Training Stage, I have divine energy within me. It would be a breeze to deal with a peak Golden Stage," Remus thought to himself in silence, "Doug is above the Golden Stage, and there were 16 more people like him last night. "I'm afraid I'm still outmatched. If I were to absorb their spirit energy, it would expose me as a practitioner of the dark path. It'd be too risky to expose myself in front of so many people."With this in mind, he reached into his pocket and touched the Ferocious Beast Inner Pill and the top-grade spirit stone. "Together with these, I should be able to break through and restore myself to my peak. But there mus
Remus observed a particular group of people hurrying across the square, led by a white-bearded old man. He wore a robe of celestial blue, with a prominently embroidered crimson alchemical furnace adorning the chest. It matched Raphaella's attire perfectly, with the furnace's hue even richer."Could they be from Medicine Valley?" Remus contemplated for a moment before returning to his cultivation. He knew that no matter how hostile Medicine Valley was toward him, they wouldn't dare to make a move in this place. His sole focus now was to patiently await nightfall to save Glinda.…"Where are the inner pill and spirit stone?" Earl inquired.Silver appeared slightly awkward. However, she had prepared an excuse on the way, and she playfully said, "I've got it already. It's just that he's been keeping a close eye, making it inconvenient to bring it out. I'll give it to you later tonight."She planned to sneak out with the inner pill and spirit stone when Remus went to rest at night."R
"No problem!" Earl grasped this point and his face flushed with pride. He said with confidence, "In True Life, we do hold a bit of reputation. It's just that this matter doesn't require my personal intervention!"Allow me to introduce you. This is Silver Cosby, the one who captured Glinda Sky. What's even more remarkable is that she is the woman Remus Calsberg has been secretly admiring for years. Remus knelt down to express his love for her yesterday, and the two have now become partners! He listens to her every word and doesn't dare to act out of line!"Upon hearing this, Master Graves looked at Silver in disbelief.As Silver caught his gaze, a wave of secret pleasure washed over her. Being introduced in such a manner was truly an honor.She said earnestly, "That's right, Master Graves. To be honest, I don't really like him. I only agreed to become partners with him because Deputy Holmes asked him to kneel down. Regarding the bet, consider it done! Remus will cancel it!"She lif
Everyone turned their heads at the same time, with displeasure evident on their faces. However, when they saw their attire, all of their grievances were swallowed back. They were none other than the alchemists from Medicine Valley, and nobody dared to provoke them."Is that bastard Remus Calsberg inside that room?" The leading alchemist asked coldly.The crowd avoided eye contact, with no one daring to respond. The news of Raphaella and Remus' duel had already spread throughout the whole of True Life, and everyone understood that both sides were resolute in their pursuit of revenge. It was wise to not speak too freely during this time, as it could easily lead to trouble.The leading alchemist snorted disdainfully. "You all refuse to answer, is it because you're still backing up that bastard? Are you hoping he'll personally cultivate pills for you? Let me tell you, he's nothing more than a shrewd deceiver seeking unearned fame. He's nothing but an impostor!"The crowd still dared no
A common understanding prevailed among the crowd. They must pretend they know nothing. Otherwise, they'd be subject to a barrage of reprimands. They were planning to let the alchemists shoulder the blame.Upon hearing Master Graves' question, hundreds of people simultaneously looked at him. They were all pondering, was he genuinely asking? Did he really not know what happened inside?A stern expression crossed Master Graves' face as he furrowed his brows. "Why is everyone looking at me? I'm asking what happened inside. Can anyone tell me?"Someone spoke up with a soft voice, "That is Master Calsberg's room. Just moments ago, a dozen or so alchemists from Medicine Valley went in to take revenge against him!"Upon hearing this, a collective sigh swept through the crowd. It had been an extended period of silence from inside. There was a growing fear that Master Calsberg had endured such torment that he might have lost consciousness, or faced an even grimmer fate."Master Calsberg? Re
Surprisingly, over a hundred people were standing in front of Master Graves in just a fraction of a second."You all ..." Master Graves was secretly delighted. However, he feigned genuine astonishment on his face and then berated angrily, "Get out of here! This is an internal matter between Medicine Valley and Tanjen, it is none of your concern! Even if they believe Master Calsberg cheated, it should not warrant them taking matters into their own hands! All of you, step back!"Chase declared with a resounding voice, "We will not leave! Master Graves, others may not understand you, but I do. You're kind to everyone. Even if the alchemists had informed you in advance and caught Master Calsberg cheating, you would have remained silent, because you have great compassion in your heart!"Although I am a cultivator in True Life, I can still discern right from wrong! I firmly believe the alchemists did the right thing, you cannot punish them!"The rest also swiftly echoed in accord."Yes,
Remus had killed every single alchemist who went in. The crowd felt as if they had been struck at their very cores.Both the crowd and Master Graves were left in shock by what they just heard. They were all simultaneously overcome by a sense of disbelief as if everything was but a fleeting illusion.There were more than a dozen Golden Stage alchemists. How could he possibly have wiped them out all on his own? Was what he said really true?Master Graves couldn't withstand the thought and expelled a mouthful of blood. His complexion turned a ghastly pale, knowing full well that those alchemists were the very backbone of Medicine Valley.Without them, Medicine Valley would be like a ship without a steer. The current state of Medicine Valley could be said to be like a dying candle in the wind.He stared at Remus with questioning eyes and asked, "Are ... are you serious?"Remus said earnestly, "I never speak nonsense!"Master Graves spurted out another mouthful of blood. He staggered
"How will I be able to face the past masters of Medicine Valley if I let you go? Remus Calsberg, I must kill you today!" Master Graves bellowed with every ounce of his strength. His voice echoed through the air.The crowd panicked and hastily retreated dozens of miles. They all recognized that this was going to be an all-out battle.Earl remained utterly confused, still uncertain about the situation. However, upon witnessing Master Graves' determination to kill, he too felt the urge to flee. He decided to leave them alone and let them resolve the problem themselves.Suddenly, he felt a pair of hands patting him on the shoulder. He instinctively looked back and realized it was Remus. He didn't even have the time to process the situation when Remus swiftly pulled him in front.Remus stated, "This is the Violet Sanctum Organization and I am your esteemed guest! Deputy Holmes, if you allow Master Graves to harm me in your presence, how can you still hold the position of Deputy Master w
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
