Lord Fifth's entire body emitted a dazzling golden light, and each dragon scale vibrated at a high frequency, producing a buzzing sound.Rumble! Rumble!Suddenly, ominous clouds formed in the sky, accompanied by strange, colored glows."Fifth, you—"Willow, using Lord Second's voice, expressed shock and relief.Despite his serious demeanor, Marshawn did not continue attacking Chad.Chad took advantage of that by swallowing his last bottle of rebirth elixirs, about 15 in total!Lord Fifth struggled violently, experiencing intense pain and hardship that only it understood.Amidst its struggle, the broken dragon horn on its head began to regrow visibly.Roar! Roar! Roar!The deafening dragon roar reverberated in all directions, causing clouds to churn and thunder to rumble!Marshawn was ecstatic. He laughed and said, "Is it evolving into a Heavenly Dragon? Truly, even heaven is helping me, allowing me to advance further. Today, I will bathe in dragon blood and forge a divine bo
Back to the moment when Marshawn activated the grand formation.Marilyn was meditating in the basement when the room suddenly lit up with complex patterns, interrupting her practice.Sensing danger, Marilyn decisively left the basement.Almost at the same time, a stone coffin rose from the ground in the middle of the room she had just left.The coffin was also covered in patterns, and Marilyn could feel her vital energy drawn to it as it emitted an eerie red glow.Marilyn, a sage, could barely resist the pull, managing only to keep herself from losing more energy.However, the battle above became more intense, with tremors similar to earthquakes shaking the area.Marilyn was worried that the basement would collapse at any time. Still, she had no choice but to hide at the basement's relatively safe entrance, knowing that going above ground was more dangerous.Marilyn could not comprehend the magnitude of the battle above as the entire underground trembled.Marilyn only realized
Chad and Marilyn were enveloped in blood energy, with a peculiar red halo resembling the sun above their heads.Boom! Boom! Boom!Suddenly, a tremendous roar echoed above as Lord Second's colossal body slid back down the massive pit it had emerged from."Second Brother!"Lord Fifth's voice, combined with the sound of thunder, could be heard all over the land.Lord Fifth soon followed suit, falling into the pit!On the surface, Marshawn was covered in blood, and his eyes had vertical pupils!A voice belonging to Third Granny came from Marshawn's throat, "Old fool, Williams Village is doomed, and I've lost my physical body. This time, I've suffered a huge loss!"As the words fell, Marshawn's own voice emerged from his mouth."Yes, it was a huge loss indeed. My family is dead, but the Exalted Immortal still lives. They can still possess others and be reborn—"Slash!Before Marshawn could finish, a blade pierced through his chest from behind.Startled, he turned to see Jade.J
Caught in a state of enlightenment, Chad was utterly unaware of the events that had just transpired.He was trapped within the formation and lost profound realization.Fortunately, he had his Mystic Archive. Miss Sixth had opened the Mystic Archive and attempted to absorb all the power and knowledge contained within the corpse that served as the formation base.However, the Mystic Archive grew uncontrollably due to the vast amount of power and knowledge contained within it."How can this be happening?!"Miss Sixth, taken aback, attempted to awaken the enlightened Chad with her primordial spirit but was repelled by a powerful force.She then tried to awaken Marilyn with her primordial spirit but failed as well.The intricate patterns that encircled them repelled any external primordial spirits.Miss Sixth considered forcing her way through, but she hesitated.Her primordial spirit had already suffered significant damage from her two attempts. Without the Mystic Archive, her pri
Even though Miss Sixth was unsure of what other tricks Marshawn might have, she was more worried about Chad's state. If Chad's body collapsed due to the inheritance, Miss Sixth and his Mystic Archive would disappear together with him.So, Miss Sixth made a decision. She fully expanded the Mystic Archive, enveloping everything in the room within it."Even if the Mystic Archive collapses and I perish, I don't want you to die!"Miss Sixth gritted her teeth as she endured the pain of the Mystic Archive's rapid expansion.Just as she was about to be torn apart, the Mystic Archive reached a limit and stopped expanding, relieving her pain!Chad and Marilyn's primordial spirits emerged from their bodies and appeared in the Mystic Archive, while the corpse also came to life.Miss Sixth had a sudden realization, recalling the primordial spirit Chad had captured and transformed into a divine general.She soon noticed that the revived corpse contained the divine general's aura.At that mom
"Master."Frost Peony, not Freya, called out to Chad with respect.Then, she transformed back into the sword and fell into Chad's grasp.Marilyn, who witnessed the entire process, was utterly shocked.However, she had to fake confusion and fear, worried Chad might notice something was amiss.At that moment, Chad looked at Marilyn with a satisfied smile."Snow, I never expected it to be you!"Marilyn did not respond. Instead, she looked around in confusion."What's this place?""This is my Mystic Archive!"Chad chose to trust his sister unconditionally, especially after she had called him brother.He then turned to Miss Sixth, "Phoebe, let's leave!"Miss Sixth nodded, and then they disappeared from the Mystic Archive.When Chad opened his eyes, the corpse and the formation had vanished. The entire underground space collapsed gradually, with one wall near the pit already gone.Chad quickly grabbed Marilyn and dashed to the remaining corridor.As they left the basement, Cha
Swoosh!The blade unsheathed!An arm holding a sword fell to the ground.Luke staggered two steps backward. His face was filled with horror as he examined his neatly severed arm.He had not noticed how Chad had drawn his sword until then. When he attempted to turn and flee, his leg was severed as well."Are you mistaken? What Exalted Immortal? What body possession? Look carefully—I'm still Chad!"When Luke heard Chad's words, he noticed white petals surrounding him. Those petals were extremely sharp blades that Chad controlled with his mind.Swoosh!A petal slashed through Luke's left shoulder, transforming him into a human stick.Thud!Luke collapsed backward in complete despair. Nonetheless, he laughed heartily."Serves her right! That wretched woman ultimately failed to possess you siblings!"Marshawn's soul emerged from Luke's body as he spoke and returned to his original form. Chad could only see Marshawn in that way with his Clairvoyant Eye."You've surprised me so m
The way Marilyn called out to him gave him a bad vibe. She might have lost her memory again.However, Chad was not ready to give up and asked, "Can you call me again?""Chad? What's wrong?" Marilyn replied hesitantly. Her expression was one of confusion and fear.Chad realized that she might be experiencing intermittent amnesia.'Damn it…' Chad thought, feeling a chill run through him as he looked at the bewildered and terrified Marilyn.Memory loss was a condition that could not be effectively treated by traditional, modern, or alternative medicine.The human brain was similar to a computer hard drive—once data was deleted, it was nearly impossible to recover.However, unlike a computer, the brain lacked backups to recover lost data. Once a memory was lost, one could only hope that an unknown backup existed somewhere in the brain."Chad, what's going on?" Marilyn asked anxiously, worried that Chad might realize that she was faking her memory loss.However, Chad was too concer
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
