Chad never expected Evergrow to infiltrate a psychiatric hospital.

The car quickly arrived at Bloomington Psychiatric Hospital, where Chad saw security personnel surrounding the perimeter. In the distance, he also noticed numerous special agents' vehicles parked inside the hospital, with many undercover agents busy at work.

After Chad got out of the car, he walked straight toward the hospital gate, where a crowd had already gathered. Those were relatives of the patients, but instead of causing a commotion, they silently watched.

"I hope he dies, so we don't have to be burdened anymore!"

"It's been over a decade, and we've done all we could."

"Having a lunatic in the family is nothing but trouble. If he dies, we'll be relieved!"

Such remarks from the patients' relatives made Chad feel uneasy. He could not help but glance back at Matilda, realizing she was genuinely worried about her mother and brother.

Chad also understood the sentiments of the patients' families—a mentally ill p

    Esther said, "I'm fine. I'm meditating at the temple, thinking about your father!""That's good to hear. Take care of yourself."Faced with his mother's calm demeanor, Liam was momentarily at a loss for words. Just as he was about to hang up, Esther suddenly shouted."Son, wait!"When Esther called him son, Liam's heart skipped a beat. "Yes, what is it?"Esther calling him son was no small matter. She had once sworn that she would only call Liam son once he got married. Liam knew his mother was someone who kept her promises, so in all those years, she had not called him son once!So Esther's unusual behavior gave Liam an ominous feeling. When Esther said, "When you have time, visit Mount Mortzen—"Liam suddenly understood and asked, "Mom, is Dad back?"Silence.Liam waited for over a minute, but Esther did not say anything.Finally, unable to bear it, he asked, "Has something happened to Dad?"Then he heard Esther's voice, sobbing. That made Liam panic. His mother, Esther, w

    Chad immediately thought that the Fox family had intervened.However, the situation at the psychiatric hospital was dire, and controlling those undead beasts and fiends was practically impossible."Get people to find a way to bring the Yggdrasil seeds here!" Chad ordered.Weldon immediately went to make arrangements. With the assistance of the foxes, the pressure on the undercover agents was alleviated somewhat, but the situation remained grim.Through his Clairvoyant Eye, Chad saw that the entire psychiatric hospital was shrouded in black mist. If left unchecked, it would inevitably spread throughout Bloomington.In such a scenario, the Yggdrasil seeds would surely grow uncontrollably, eventually becoming a towering world tree—a result sought after by those so-called celestial realm beings.Without dwelling on it further, Chad realized that the consequences would be unimaginable if events like the Evergrow outbreak repeated seven or eight times over the next three years.Roar!

    Suddenly, cries for help echoed within the hospital. It turned out that the individuals who had recovered from being cleansed of Evergrow were trying to escape."Fox, yellow, white, willow, and gray correspond to fire, earth, metal, wood, and water. Therefore, the Fox family's guardian immortals specialize in countering Evergrow and are the quickest to transform people into fiends using Evergrow."Upon hearing that familiar voice, Chad abruptly turned around to see a handsome man with a sinister smile appearing behind him. It was Third Grandpa Fox, and he had transformed into a fiend!Chad respectfully bowed. "Many thanks, senior, for your assistance!"Third Grandpa Fox waved his hand dismissively. "This time, allowing many descendants from the guardian immortal lineage to transform into fiends is also an opportunity for us. There's no need for thanks."At that moment, Weldon rushed over, looking distressed. "It's not good! The tree has grown too tall and has already taken root. W

    "Chad, get us out of here, or I'll make my sister divorce you!"John's words caught Chad off guard. Before he could react, Celine shouted, "Yes, hurry and get us out of here, or I'll make Matilda divorce you. My daughter is the CEO of Bellenuite—"Chad listened to Celine's words, lost in thought.Clearly, the mother and son must have lost their memories; it seemed that being infected with Evergrow impacted their memories. However, Chad was not in the mood to argue with them.Instead, he took out his phone, captured their yelling faces, and sent the video to Matilda. Then, Chad turned and walked away.Seeing Chad about to leave, Celine chased after him, shouting like mad, "Chad, are you tired of living with Matilda and want a divorce? Hurry up and get us out of here!"However, two special agents intercepted her before she could catch up with Chad. "Just you wait! I'll make sure Matilda divorces you!" The two special agents restrained her and dragged her back to the ward.Then, th

    Jojo looked at the empty office and murmured softly, "Ten years ago, the Jennings family abandoned him. He was extremely talented and outstanding. This Jennings family is really interesting.""Jojo, you're here!"Suddenly, a pair of hands embraced Jojo from behind, and the owner of those hands was Stanley."Marry me, okay? I may not give you the wedding you want, but I can give you the Bellenuite Group!"Jojo smiled sweetly, turned around, and held Stanley's face, saying, "Okay, I promise you, but..."After Stanley listened to Jojo's request, he hesitated but still said, "Okay, whatever you want, I'll buy it for you no matter how much it costs!"Jojo smiled, but her thoughts were, 'Wait a little longer! When you're no longer useful, I'll drain you dry!'At the same time, in another elegant office.Marilyn was very annoyed. The result of her previous meeting with Chad as Dark Phoenix had made her furious!She was talking to the head of the Zenith Organization on the phone. "I k

    Chad found it even more unbelievable since Toby claimed to have given him that set of medicinal herbs. Chad asked, "How did you get the entire set of ingredients for the chimera pill?"Toby grinned and looked at his legs, and it was only then that Chad noticed he was still sitting in a wheelchair. Chad suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to heal him the last time he left Orcreek.However, Toby had injured his muscles and bones, and forcibly setting the bones might not restore them to their original condition.So Chad said, "Let me see the herbs first."Being an old fox, Toby immediately realized that Chad had a way to restore him completely. He had someone bring over a secure case, and when it was opened, the herbs inside still surprised Chad.The chimera pill was something that could enhance a practitioner's talent, allowing those new to the Mystic realm to gain better abilities. Each ingredient required for the chimera pill was a rare and valuable herb that could enhance a

    Chad initially wanted to suggest that Toby find a suitable time to take the rebirth elixir. After all, consuming it would lead to excruciating pain, akin to being reborn, although the results would be equally transformative."You'd better stay here for now," Chad said as he watched Toby swallow the elixir in one gulp.Toby was puzzled, so Chad explained the effects of the rebirth elixir. Hearing about its effects, Toby was overjoyed. "Being able to take such a pill in this lifetime is my fortune. I don't fear the pain!"However, as soon as he finished speaking, the veins all over Toby's body suddenly bulged, and he convulsed into a ball. The pain was so intense that Toby could not even scream; it took a long time before he could let out a low roar like a beast.However, it was clear that his body was undergoing a tremendous transformation.As Chad watched Toby, he suddenly noticed something wrong. A faint black mist, almost invisible to the naked eye, surrounded Toby's entire body

    "Frey, how many years have you been with me?" Toby asked.The bodyguard smiled respectfully. "Five years."Toby continued asking, "How have I treated you in these five years?"The bodyguard seemed flustered. "Very well, Mr. Enfield. Please tell me if I did something wrong, and I'll change."Then Toby fell silent, and Chad was the one who spoke next."Forget about the five years. He's only been with you since the car accident."Sure enough, the bodyguard's expression changed dramatically. However, he did not flee. Instead, he seemed to relax as if a burden had been lifted."So, you found out about me. Dr. Jennings, you're really sharp!"Toby was shocked, staring at the bodyguard, unable to say a word. He was desperate to know who that imposter was."Who are you? What happened to the real Frey?" Toby demanded.The bodyguard smirked. "The poor guy was unlucky. In the moment of the crash, he shielded you and saved your life. But he died."Toby was horrified. "That's impossible.

    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.
