After traveling through the rippling portal-like structure, a brilliant light soon emerged before their eyes. Beyond that light was a new world."We're almost there!" Wuhlricht exclaimed with excitement to everyone as he steered the miniature black tower. Though they had yet to fully traverse the rippling space, Wuhlricht possessed an extraordinarily potent mental presence that allowed him to sense the spiritual energy from the outside world. He perceived it through the spiritual energy transmitted by the light, which exceeded that of the Skyblue Sect by a significant margin.Felipe was brimming with joy. "The abundance of spiritual energy is astounding! This miniature black tower is a curious little marvel. It contains a space that keeps us safe within and transports us through the portal to our destination."On the other hand, Samuel was on the verge of hyperventilating. "The energy… My goodness! It's so many times richer than that found at the Skyblue Sect! Are we already in this
Practitioners on the level of supreme emperors and higher existed in that world. Opportunities and dangers often coexist. No one knew what sort of danger might lie hidden in such an unfamiliar place. By concealing their auras and keeping their strengths hidden, they would be better prepared to face the unknown.Severin immediately took out some fifth-grade pills from his spatial ring. Those pills were intended to restore one's spiritual energy, and Severin distributed them to everyone. Each person consumed a pill, sat cross-legged, and began digesting it to replenish their spiritual energy.Severin was about to explore the surroundings beyond the valley when he noticed Selene's body beginning to tremble. Her spiritual energy saw a sudden increase, and she made a breakthrough from level five saint to level six saint.Sofia, who had been awakened by the fluctuations following Selene's breakthrough, looked at Selene and asked. "Did you just make a breakthrough?"Felipe and the others
Severin continued flying eastward for another ten miles when he spotted two individuals on a nearby mountaintop. They were being pursued by a massive purple-furred wolf. The young man had the highest attainment of the two as a level nine saint. The green-robed young woman, aged about seventeen or eighteen, was only a level six saint. The giant wolf emitted powerful purple beams of light that put it on par with a level one royal saint. The two of them were visibly struggling against the wolf's overwhelming assault.Having seen the dire situation being faced by the two individuals, Diane suggested, "Weren't we searching for someone to ask directions from? There's two people right here."Wuhlricht and Felipe concurred."Diane is correct.""We should rescue these two individuals. Their attainment is, at best, that of a level nine saint. It would be a rational move to save them and ask for information regarding the area beyond the vast mountain range."Severin immediately increased the
"Are you okay?" A seven or eight-year-old girl with a dainty little face appeared before Rainier and Frostia. She was accompanied by six elderly men, four women, and a handsome young man.The two siblings wondered whether they were the ones who had slain the wolf. Though the group's attire seemed distinct from the traditional clothing in Nontwo City, the siblings deduced that there could not have been anyone else who could have saved them from becoming the wolf's meal. Rainier guessed that Severin's group were experienced fighters due to their ability to kill the beast equivalent of a level one royal saint in one single blow.Rainer struggled to get up from the ground and gratefully told Severin, "Thank you so much for saving our lives."Severin waved his hand nonchalantly. "No thanks necessary. It was no biggie."He had overheard their discussions earlier regarding the sacred lake and their ambition to break through to the supreme saint. It was an exciting piece of information for
The wolf's strength was on par with that of a level one royal saint, yet Severin had managed to kill it with ease. That act, simple though it was, made them seem like seasoned individuals in Rainier and Frostia's eyes.Severin's group was unaware of how elated Rainier was after knowing that they were unaffiliated practitioners. Rainier felt that it would be ideal if he could convince the entire group to join the Chorteau. The Chorteaus had been struggling amidst a decline and suppression by other families, so getting more royal saints to align with them would greatly help improve their situation. It might not be the ultimate solution to solving the problem, but it would bring some reprieve at least.The Chorteaus was a second-tier family in Nontwo City, and their strongest member was only a level five royal saint. Had it not been for the recent pressure put on them by other families, Rainier and his sister would not even have had to risk their lives to scour the vast mountains for he
Sensing an undertone in the other party's suggestion, Severin exchanged a knowing look with Wuhlricht and the elders. He then smiled and said, "We'll be happy to take you up on your offer."Severin's acceptance brought joy to Rainier. He continued, "I can see you are all royal saints, and I am grateful that you do not see us as beneath you even though you're stronger than us. We are thankful for your saving grace. My family has a certain level of status in Nontwo City, and I'd be honored to grant you honorary elder status. Our honorary elders are allowed to bring their families to reside with us. They also receive hundreds of spiritual stones and pills each month, along with the opportunity to enter the sacred lake. It goes without saying that they are also obliged to contribute in one way or another to the family's well-being in times of crisis."Severin accepted Rainier's invitation readily. Given their recent arrival in this unfamiliar environment, their original plan was to visit
The voice came from a young man wearing a robe adorned with a purple-and-gold could-patterned embroidery. His spiritual energy reflected his strength as a level one royal saint. Several level nine royal saints accompanied him as he strolled out of the Chorteaus' gate.Rainier had a sour and displeased look on his face when he saw who it was. His anger seemed to be rather evident as he clenched his fists. "Please show some respect to my guests, Endric!"Endric, however, could not contain his laughter. His mental energy had picked up on the group's awe of the little children before they even approached the entrance. The naivete in those comments led Endric to view them in a derisive light, especially since he was not on good terms with his cousin, Rainier."Your guests?" Endric chuckled. "Not every person is worthy of being a guest in our family. These bumpkins will only tarnish our family's reputation!"Severin grew increasingly displeased at the belittling and spiteful tone that En
Sheila and Diane had the lowest attainment out of the four women, but even they were level six royal saints. That so-called prodigy before them was like a puny little ant in their eyes. Had it not been for Severin's reluctance to let them reveal their strengths, they would have taught that pervert Endric a stern lesson in respecting women.Endric's lecherous gaze elicited a disapproving gaze from the two siblings. On the way there, they learned that the women were all Severin's wives. Though the siblings were astonished to hear that, they surmised that Severin must have won the hearts of four beautiful women because of his strength. Recalling Severin's feat of slaying a wolf as strong as a level one royal saint, the siblings estimated his power to be at least on par with a level two royal saint or possibly even higher. Provoking him could jeopardize their agreement to make Severin an honorary elder.Aware of the potential complications that may arise, Rainier stepped forward and posi
