"How dare you! I'm going to kill you!" Adela released a white light space power all of a sudden, forming a white vortex as both opposing space powers attempted to usurp each other's energy aura. "Hahaha!" Adela laughed all of a sudden. "I have fifty thousand years of cultivation, Wilbur, but you only have thirty thousand. You're not a match for me even if you've mastered the dark space dimensional laws!" Wilbur gritted his teeth. "Help me out here, Augheimer!" "I'm coming!" Augheimer charged up to Wilbur, grabbing Wilbur's right hand as he released dark space power as well. A large vortex formed out of both their dark space powers, devouring Adela's energy aura continuously. Adela only brought one Power Elixir Drop with him this time, and he had used it up. Regret and fury filled his chest as he watched the energy aura drain out of him, unable to do anything. Wrinkles began to form on Adela's skin, his brown hair slowly fading to white. Adela, who had lost the nourishment
"Got it, Lord Ramont." "Take me back to get some rest." Augheimer walked Ramont to his room before coming out to see Wilbur scowling at him. "Why did you do this, Augheimer? You know I always saw you as a friend, and this is how you treat me? You made me help you kill Adela! You know Adela is Odysseus' Senior Guard and killing him is a great offense to Odysseus. You did this to stop me from advancing to the upper dimensions, didn't you?" Augheimer lowered his head. He had known that Wilbur would eventually find out about this, just not so soon. Augheimer would have died just now if Wilbur had not been there, and thus could not retaliate at all. After a brief silence, Augheimer said, "I'm sorry.' "I don't want to hear that! I treated you like a friend, but you used me! This is the last time I'm helping you! We're done!" Wilbur turned to leave after that, and Augheimer sighed as he watched him. Coming out of the ruler's residence, Wilbur did not return to the Robert family.
Wilbur had lost interest in cultivating ever since falling for Augheimer's ploy. Since he could not advance to the upper dimensions, he would not be able to become a servant of the dimensional guardians, and thus could not return to Earth from a few decades ago. Even if he was to return to Earth now, everything he had known there would have changed already. If he could not return to the past, then there was no point in going back at all. Yes, Wilbur would just stay and cultivate in Tevinter Town. It was probably best for him to make more friends, then. That afternoon, Liam introduced Wilbur to a brown-haired cultivator. "This is Teller Andrew, the spirit cultivator sent over by the Andrew family. He'll be living with us from now onwards." Liam then turned to Teller and said, "This is Trevor Penn, the Robert family's dragon clan cultivator." Wilbur and Teller exchanged glances, nodding at each other in acknowledgment. Teller's gaze looked strangely familiar to Wilbur as they l
It was clear that both plans were riddled with difficulties, but Augheimer at least seemed to have realized that he had screwed up. Wilbur gave it some thought and then decided to meet Augheimer at the bar as written in the letter. After all, Augheimer had been waiting for three days now. Wilbur arrived at the bar and headed upstairs, where he saw Augheimer. Augheimer got to his feet, gesturing to Wilbur as the two men sat down. Augheimer immediately said, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that to you. I'm going to make it up to you by helping you advance to the upper dimensions. From what I know, there are three upper dimensions. Each upper dimension is a world of its own, and those three worlds are connected to form the upper dimensions." "I know that," Wilbur said, cutting Augheimer off. "We can talk about heading to the upper dimensions another day. I think it's more important for us to discuss the situation with Adela first." "Well, Lord Odysseus of Light Town is known t
Augheimer was no fool, and Wilbur felt like he had lost himself after receiving help for what he had encountered in the middle dimensions. If Augheimer was just willing to think about it properly, he would quickly realize that Ramont was no friend of his. "Well, I'm going to read up more about the dimension portal in Tevinter Town in the time to come. You're welcome to advance to the upper dimensions with me anytime you want to." Augheimer lowered his head wordlessly, and Wilbur got up to leave. He headed to the bookstore after that, asking for any books that contained information on the old dimensional portal in Tevinter Town. He was able to find out that this portal was once located on the peak of Mount Bronc, the tallest mountain in the Cavette Mountains. Tevinter might be a town of violence reeking of murder and bloodshed, but the extreme temperatures of the Cavette Mountains made it rather deserted. There were few people who went there, making the Cavette Mountains pretty mu
The two men seemed to be discussing a transaction of sorts. After a brief conversation, the red-haired man handed a storage ring to Conrad. They parted ways then, heading in different directions. Wilbur emerged from behind the tree. He looked to the left, then the right before running in the direction Conrad had headed. Conrad was despicable, but Edmund was ultimately Wilbur's biggest enemy. Wilbur did not want to cause any alarm, so he just followed Conrad all the way back to Tevinter Town. Perhaps Conrad might lead him to Edmund. Unfortunately, Wilbur lost Conrad at a junction on the way back. He looked around, but Conrad was nowhere to be seen. It was getting darker, and Wilbur ended up heading back to the Robert family. Ramos handed Wilbur another letter as soon as he got back, and he opened it back in his room. Augheimer had written to him saying that Odysseus had already sent his men over to ask about Adela. Ramont had told them that Adela had planned to stay in Tevinter
Once Wilbur had the protection of the upper dimension cultivators, he could get them to channel their energy into the formation and activate the portal for him to advance to the upper dimensions. The thought excited him greatly, as laying down the formation would not be hard for Wilbur. After taking two days to prepare everything, Wilbur contacted Augheimer and asked him if he wanted to head to the upper dimensions with him one last time. Augheimer shook his head. "No, I can't leave Lord Ramont at a time like this. I'm sorry, Wilbur." "You…" Wilbur had thought that Augheimer would be smart enough to have figured out that Ramont hardly saw him as a friend, and thus stop remaining loyal to him. "I've made my mind up. I won't be going to the upper dimensions, Wilbur. I wish you all the best." Wilbur watched Augheimer leave, feeling like this was such a shame. Yet no one could change Augheimer's mind, and maybe Ramont had found a way to quell Odysseus' anger so that he and Augh
That was enough to prove that the upper dimensions were a dangerous place to a regular cultivator. Thus, Wilbur planned to make sure he found his footing in the upper dimensions before getting Felix to join him. With Wilbur's help, Augheimer and Felix would not have such a hard time. After making up his mind, Wilbur decided to get the five hundred thousand gold coins on his own. He had two and a half months left now, and it would be impossible for him to rely on killing beasts to earn bronze coins. Thus, Wilbur had to think of a way to make money fast. After giving it some thought, he decided to strike up a deal with the cultivators. Wilbur came to the outskirts of Tevinter Town, where he saw a cultivator beating another cultivating to a pulp. Wilbur hurried over to help the wounded cultivator up, before asking, "Do you need my help? Fifty gold coins to get you out alive, a hundred to teach your opponent a lesson too." "I'll give you fifty gold coins! I just don't want him to
