Chad's hand trembled violently as he held the letter!After losing his sister, he had considered many possibilities, even blaming himself for losing her.However, after reading the contents of Lawson's letter, his entire worldview was shattered.Chad was kept like a fool in the dark, manipulated by a group of big shots.The letter also mentioned how they had orchestrated Chad's marriage to Matilda and the entire process of arranging their divorce.Lawson only explained that it was just a part of some plan!"They're all damn liars, and I'm the one being fooled the whole time!" Chad gritted his teeth as he finished reading the letter, slamming it fiercely on the table.However, Chad noticed words on the back of the letter, and when he read them, he was even more dumbfounded.[As for your master, Rowan Keating's ascension, I think you also have doubts about it, so I'll tell you the truth! A guide from the Zenith Organization found him, and a guiding spirit possessed him. In order
They were alarmed by the bloodstains all over the Hall of Herbs, especially when they saw Chad's pale and weak appearance. Cynthia could not help but cry in despair."Chad, what happened to you?""It's nothing. I want to ask you—what's the new company's name?"Cynthia replied, "The Mystic Group."Chad smiled. "Just as I guessed! Alright! Spread the word—members of the Mystic Pavilion will each establish subsidiary companies under the Mystic Group as the parent company. Then, we'll jointly establish the Mystic Pharmaceutical Group."Colleen curiously asked, "Chad, aren't you uninterested in money?"Chad smiled. "I'm not interested in money, so I'm not starting this company for money!""Then why?"Chad smirked at the question."To become the strongest. To ascend and see what's beyond this life!"The three looked up at the sky, not understanding what Chad meant.Chad then took out a list of medicinal materials and said, "If you come across any of these materials, help me buy th
Bang!Weldon placed a pitch-black coffin in the backyard of the Hall of Herbs."This is my sister; she's inside."The three girls were dumbfounded. The ebony coffin was 1.7 meters in length and 60 centimeters wide.Ebony wood was hailed as the spirit of all woods and the most revered wood. At the very least, a single ebony coffin would cost hundreds of thousands, and if it was top-quality ebony, it could cost millions!Most importantly, why was his sister inside a coffin?Chad rushed toward the coffin; he sensed something very familiar.Colleen circled the coffin, occasionally sniffing it. Then, she asked, "What disease does your sister have that she has to lie in a coffin?""You have to ask yourselves! It was the person who came to treat my sister who suggested she lie in the coffin."Colleen's words made Weldon anxious, and he said very excitedly, "If I knew what disease it was, then there would be no need to look for anyone else. I could treat her myself."Colleen was left
"Once it's dark, I'll come out, and when you see me, you'll understand the situation. I've had this condition for 23 years, but I still look like I'm 15."That angered Cynthia. They were all disciples of Rowan Keating and had seen all sorts of illnesses.So, she proudly said, "The black coffin is used to raise corpses. If someone needs to stay in a black coffin due to illness, as far as I know, it can only be someone afflicted with intestinal parasite infestation."The person in the coffin fell silent. After a long while, there was a sigh from inside. "Ah, this is truly a first for me. A doctor who knew what my illness was just by hearing my symptoms. I've been infected with an intestinal parasite, and only Ebony wood can suppress the poison. Even if I leave the coffin at night, it's only for a short time."It dawned on Chad. No wonder he felt that Weldon's sister was familiar; an intestinal parasite infested her.For Chad, that was too easy!Chad had been transformed into a Para
Then, Chad said to the others, "Everyone else, please leave!"Once everyone had left, only he and Wanda remained in the backyard.Chad picked up the needle and asked, "Before we begin, I need to know how the witch doctor who controlled you died."Without any hesitation, Wanda replied, "My brother killed him. That guy tried to force himself on me, but I gave him a beating. Later, he sought revenge on me and secretly inflicted me with a month-long parasite to turn me into this."Chad was somewhat speechless because the witch doctor Wanda mentioned seemed pathetic.There were so many ways a witch doctor could control people. There were parasites for love, obedience, compliance, and many others. Yet, the guy tried to turn her into a puppet? Could he not think of using anything else?"Let's begin!"Chad did not waste any words or ask any further questions. He pinched the needle covered in sulfur and pierced it into the back of Wanda's head.That was the key point in controlling the
Boxes!Chad thought of the box Lawson had given him and fetched it from the bedroom."I've just opened one layer. Can you tell me now?" Chad asked as he opened the metal box, revealing one layer.Wanda looked at the opened layer and pondered for a moment. "I can only tell you that the war started in 1999. I can't say anything else. "Unless you can completely unlock the seven layers of the box and obtain the participation badge, then you can know the whole truth."Chad was stunned. He had not expected the box to have seven layers with a participation badge inside."Regarding the badge—once you get it, someone will find you and tell you everything," Wanda explained, taking out a pentagonal badge with the words martial on the front and Hacniane on the back."Each person's badge is different. The badge of Mystics will have the word Mystic written on it. And don't even think about asking me to help you open the box. I can't help you because each box has a different method of opening
"Come in!"Chad let Weldon in and casually put away his laptop.After Weldon entered and closed the door, he grinned and expressed his thanks.Just when Chad was getting impatient, Weldon took out something."I heard you're not interested in money, so I want to repay you for curing my sister with this!"The moment Chad saw the object, he could not look away.A strong spiritual energy emanated from the object in Weldon's hand.Surprisingly, it was just a plant growing in a stone, with a strange three-petaled flower blooming at the top."What's this?"After receiving the inheritance, Chad confidently thought he knew all the medicinal herbs in the world.However, he did not recognize the small plant in front of him.Chad was confident that the small plant was definitely an herb.According to the records of the Mystics, no matter which famous healer it was, the basis for judging whether a herb had medicinal value was whether it had spiritual energy.Scratching his head, Weldon
"I look like a hedgehog."As she watched her face covered with needles in the mirror, Matilda laughed heartily and lowered her head to flip through the documents.When she saw the prescription on it, she remembered a herbal market near the office building she could visit the next day."Let's go to the herbal market tomorrow and then check out the office building," Matilda said as she removed the needles from her face and prepared to sleep after applying a hot towel. Then, there was a knock on the door.It was late at night, so Matilda cautiously looked through the peephole and only opened the door when she saw it was Marilyn."Why are you here so late?""I've been working overtime at the company. I don't want to go home. Can I stay here for the night?" Marilyn said, but she kept looking behind Matilda.With her Clairvoyant Eye, she saw many wandering spirits and ghosts in the room. However, Matilda was unaware and pulled Marilyn into the room."That's perfect. I was feeling bor
As Chad sat in meditation on Decaying Peaks, a faint, glowing white immortal crown slowly appeared behind his head. When that immortal crown manifested, a quake occurred everywhere outside Mount Causabour. The frequency of those tremors was extremely high, and everyone could clearly feel them. The vast area they covered included the entire Hacniane. It was as if some ancient seal in the vast sky had been triggered.Chad opened his eyes in shock amid his breakthrough, realizing that the impending heavenly punishment seemed to be directed at him and the millions of mystical beings beneath Mount Causabour.Suddenly, a thunderous voice erupted in the sky, as loud as a bolt of lightning:"Cut off the road to the heavens, seal the underworld; a red banner halts a million immortals, and a red star exterminates ghosts and demons!"Sever Yggdrasil, raise the grand array; a handful of Evergrow blocks the celestial river, and the vast multiverse bows to humanity!"By decree, this is a real
Sir Holt anxiously looked up at the sky as the tribulation clouds suddenly began to churn violently.Crack! Crack! Crack!At that moment, the first bolt of heavenly punishment finally struck.However, that bolt of divine lightning fell upon the mirage of the Mystic Archive, where it disappeared without a trace. The entire Mount Causabour shook a few times, and everyone could feel a soothing sensation within the mountain.Anyone who felt this would experience a surge of confidence deep within, and any discomfort they felt in their bodies seemed to improve significantly.On Decaying Peaks, that sensation was even more pronounced, and more and more people began to manifest the immortal crown behind their heads. In just a few minutes, nearly everyone on Decaying Peaks, hundreds of people in total, had an immortal crown appear behind them.That included Flynn and Harvey, who were sitting on the outskirts of Decaying Peaks. They, too, had immortal crowns appear behind their heads.How
Sir Holt and Zayan looked up at the sky with expressionless faces, though their hearts were in turmoil. Within the rolling clouds, faint traces of multicolored light shimmered.As time passed, the colorful lights appeared more frequently, as if gradually consuming the clouds."Such intense ascension light—there must be tens of thousands ascending!""There are probably more. The latest statistics show that 264,777 people have entered Mount Causabour!""Over 260,000? How did so many people get here?"Zayan looked at Sir Holt in shock, and Sir Holt turned his gaze toward the winding mountain road leading into the area."There are still many more people outside trying to get in, but the place is already so crowded that they can't fit."Zayan looked with concern toward the entrance to the mountain. "Won't those stuck on the road cause a disturbance?""They won't!" Sir Holt said with certainty. "Unless they're fools, they've probably already started meditating where they are. Even if
Among the 250,000 people, quite a few were not actually autistic patients. After sleeping for two full days, Chad woke up and realized that possibility. He carefully considered the potential issues that might arise during the process and decided to issue an announcement."The treatment will begin shortly. Non-autistic patients are advised to leave the Mount Causabour area to avoid unnecessary complications."That announcement was broadcast three times through loudspeakers positioned throughout Mount Causabour. Finally, the loudspeaker voice declared, "The treatment will officially begin in one hour!"At the same time, Chad made his way to the Decaying Peaks, the summit of Mount Causabour, where an over-century-old pavilion stood.Entering the pavilion, Chad sat down in a meditative position. Soon, he noticed a dense crowd gathering around the pavilion, all sitting in meditation poses around him.As Chad glanced over those people, he recognized several familiar faces. The people ar
Mount Causabour Medical Center, built halfway up Mount Causabour, was a sizable palace-style complex with three courtyards. The center was constructed along the mountain's slope, extending all the way to the base of the Decaying Peaks. Flynn and Harvey were placed in the innermost courtyard, suggesting that their grandfather, Fenton Cooper, likely knew some inside information but had not shared it with his grandsons.On that day, the Hacniane Cabinet issued several announcements. First, they created separate legislation for ability users and cultivators to regulate their powers. Second, they planned to designate special zones in each city for ability users and Mystics, separating them from ordinary people. Lastly, they urgently introduced the Sixteen Temporary Rules for Ability Users and Mystic Practitioners to regulate their behavior.Those announcements seemed like they were aimed at restricting ability users, but in reality, they were meant to reassure ordinary people, ensurin
A massive leap in the realm could bring unimaginable fortune to the dragon vein, potentially altering Hacniane's fate.That was also Chad's grand gift to the two elders, using the sudden surge in the dragon vein's power to help Hacniane avoid the impending catastrophe triggered by the nuclear explosion of the firmament.Earlier that day, through Chad's Clairvoyant Eye, he saw Kennington shrouded in a faint gray-black mist. Chad did not know what it was but felt it resembled Evergrow, yet not quite the same.However, Chad was certain that accidents would surely happen if ordinary people were exposed to it in large quantities. As a Mystic, he could already feel its effects on his body.At that moment, Sir Holt got into the car, looking at Chad with a solemn expression. "Kid, give me the bottom line!"After careful consideration, Chad laid out his thoughts. Upon hearing them, Sir Holt began to tremble. According to Chad, he would need to mobilize at least 100,000 troops to ensure the
Having a Mystic Archive and unlocking a Mystic Archive were two different matters. Only a handful of people were recorded to have a Mystic Archive throughout history. There were only two earliest verifiable individuals with documented works still in existence.The first was Hugo Gerant, a renowned physician from an ancient empire, a practitioner of Mystic Therapeutics, and an alchemist. His surviving medical works include The Hundred Letters, Gerant's Emergency Treatments, and the famous Embracing Simplicity.After his death, several notable physicians throughout history have inadvertently inherited his Mystic Archive, but none have fully inherited it. It was said that Mystics knew the method to obtain Gerant's Mystic Archive a thousand years ago, but that knowledge had since been lost.The second individual is Damian Lotin, a figure from another ancient dynasty. He left behind many works, including one titled The Whisper of the Blue Plant.Aside from them, other people who possess
Chad gave them a cold smile. "Extract the immortal bone to cure the illness.""No! Absolutely not! I won't allow it!""Me neither. There's no way we can let that happen!"The entire room erupted into panic. Some even tried to attack Chad, but they were quickly subdued.Chad looked at them and said, "Then tell me the truth.""I'll speak! I failed my tribulation and fell from the celestial realm. I used to have nine crowns, but now I'm down to five...""And me! I also fell from the celestial realm after failing my tribulation. Now I only have three crowns...""I disguised myself as one of the wounded soldiers and was brought here. After losing all my cultivation, I've since regained two crowns!""I was brought back from the firmament by my husband. After we arrived here, I lost all my cultivation and never practiced again. We had a child later, and he was perfectly normal, but I never expected my grandson to..."As those people spoke, Zayan and Sir Holt were stunned! Those peopl
"You know the cause of the illness?"Zayan was shocked, almost in disbelief."Do you realize this child is the same age as you? Even your master examined him but couldn't find the cause!"Chad nodded and said, "But I do know, and I have a bold theory—that the cause of autism in all these children might be the same..."As he spoke, some thoughts suddenly flashed through Chad's mind, shocking even him, leading him to say, "And I suspect this might be related to the increasing number of ability users and cultivators over the past century!""Really?!"Zayan grabbed Chad's arm, hardly believing what he was hearing.However, Chad spoke with firm conviction, "It's very likely true, but I need to see more children with autism.""Wait here; I'll make arrangements right away!"Soon, Chad and his group arrived at the largest hospital in Kennington, the Ninth Military District Hospital, and Xyder was also brought along. Chad saw hundreds of children with autism there!Before entering the
