As soon as Chase exited Silent Creek, his phone started ringing incessantly, showing several missed calls and unread messages. It seemed there was no signal inside Silent Creek.As he checked his phone, he saw messages from several of his sisters, Sam, William, and even Phineas from the Heavenly Master Mansion.After reading the messages, he realized something had happened.A day earlier, a mysterious man appeared at the entrance of the Heavenly Master Mansion on Dragon Tiger Mountain, declaring he wanted to challenge Master Collins. The disciples of the mansion tried to stop him, but instead of leaving, the man fought his way in, injuring the disciples.Phineas thought it was someone from the martial world trying to make a name for himself by challenging Master Collins, so he approached the man to persuade him to leave."Master Collins is no longer at the Heavenly Master Mansion. You should look for him elsewhere," he told him."You must be the current Heavenly Master of the sec
"What incident?" Chase pressed for more information.Caspian remained silent for a while before continuing, "I can only tell you that there was a cataclysmic conflict in the cultivation world years ago. Since then, Earth's spiritual energy has dwindled, and Valiant Kings can no longer walk the world openly. "They've been forced to seek refuge in secret realms. All the top powers sealed their mountain gates, leading to the current decline in the cultivation world and allowing young kids like you to run rampant. I was trapped in the Dragon Vein Secret Realm after that incident.""And what does that have to do with the Martial Soul Hall?""While the Martial Soul Hall doesn't have Valiant Kings, they have plenty of marquis-level experts, and it's possible they have a martial lord expert.""Is Chuck a martial lord?""No. But even if you can handle Chuck, what about the others? Can you defeat them all one by one?""Given time, I can!" Chase responded confidently.With the Dragon Vei
A few days passed quickly. With the increasing number of cultivators arriving, Joverton turned into a grand event for the cultivation world. Many opportunists set up stalls at the foot of Dragon Tiger Mountain, catering specifically to the cultivators.The place buzzed with activity. A man and a woman stopped by one of the stalls. The woman picked up a bottle of pills from the stall and examined it."You have a keen eye, fellow cultivator. This bottle contains Blood Restoration Pills, made from a blend of over ten types of spiritual herbs. As the name suggests, one pill can heal you completely, unless you suffer a fatal injury," the vendor enthusiastically promoted.However, the woman merely glanced at it and then put the bottle back before the two of them blended into the crowd.The two were Chase and Olivia.After Chase accepted the challenge, Olivia had been staying by his side ever since he returned to South River City. They were inseparable. She was clearly worried about him,
Chase, who initially did not want to cause any trouble, could not stand it any longer after hearing the young man's statement. A gentle breeze blew, and the recipe was suddenly in Chase's hand."How dare you snatch something I had my eye on, you insolent brat? No one has ever dared to take anything from Clay Hawkins! You're asking for it!" the purple-clad young man shouted in a rage.As soon as Clay announced his name, a large area of the previously crowded market cleared out. People who heard his name reacted as if they had heard something taboo."He's Clay Hawkins, the prodigious son of the Hawkins family from Capital City. I didn't expect him to come to Joverton!""Right? And I didn't expect the duel between Master Collins and the hall master of the Martial Soul Hall to attract people from Capital City.""You don't understand. The headquarters of the Martial Soul Hall is in Capital City. Rumor has it that the Hawkins family is closely connected with the Martial Soul Hall. Some
"Isn't your demand a bit excessive?" the vendor's tone turned cold."How about I catch up to Mr. Hawkins over there and tell him the recipe is fake?" Chase said softly with a slight smile.Sure enough, as soon as he said this, the vendor immediately calmed down. His face broke into his signature smile once again."Please don't do that. I'll admit defeat this time. I'll tell you the truth. Actually, it doesn't matter if you know this. Element Nurturing Pills can't be made by ordinary people because one of the ingredients is only available in the top sects," the vendor explained reluctantly."What herb? And why is it only available in the top sects?" Chase pressed."It's a spiritual herb that requires the irrigation of true energy by a Valiant King-level expert—the Green Bagger," the vendor revealed.Upon hearing this, Chase immediately understood. It was no wonder Element Nurturing Pills were only circulated within the top sects. It made sense now."Which sect do you belong to? T
As Clay prepared to strike, Chase spoke up again, "Aren't you curious about who I am?"Clay instinctively asked, "Who are you?""My name is Chase Collins."Upon hearing this, laughter erupted.Not only did Clay burst into laughter, but Tristan and the others behind him laughed as well. Clay laughed so hard he struggled to catch his breath."Tristan, did you hear that? He says he's Chase Collins.""Haha! If he's Chase, then I'm the hall master of the Martial Soul Hall."Even Linus, who was tied up, could not help but laugh."Fellow cultivator, you should run while you can. Now's not the time for jokes. Save your life!"Chase did not get angry. He just stood there, quietly watching the men laugh.After a few minutes, they finally stopped laughing."Kid, you're really amusing. Here's the deal. I won't trouble you anymore if you leave the beauty beside you to serve me. How about that?" Clay revealed his true intentions.From the moment he first saw Olivia at the market, Clay ha
Facing Chase's cold gaze, Tristan still did not sense the danger. He thought Chase was just putting on a show and would not dare to kill them."You’re really Chase? I’m an official of the Martial Soul Hall, sent here to maintain order in this market. Let’s just call it a day. Leave us be and I can put in a good word with the hall master to let you off tomorrow..." Tristan was still relying on his identity as he continued to speak. Suddenly, his entire body exploded, and his voice was abruptly cut off.Chase had no interest in listening to Tristan's nonsense. He unleashed his aura, and Tristan's body burst instantly.Chase coldly remarked, "As an enforcer of order, you not only failed to distinguish right from wrong but also acted as an accomplice. You deserve to die!"Clay panicked upon seeing Chase actually dare to kill someone. After being splattered with blood, he wiped it off his face and quickly began to plead for his life."Master Collins, you can't kill me. I'm the prodig
In the ancestral hall deep inside the Hawkins' residence, the patriarch of the family, Carson, spoke up, “What’s going on, Uncle Alf?”“Clay is dead!” Alf replied when he saw that it was Carson.“What? My son is dead? How is that possible? He had many powerhouses by his side during his trip to Joverton. How did this happen?” Carson was in disbelief. “Did you make a mistake, Uncle Alf?”“It’s not a mistake. The token representing Clay just fell inside the tower.” Alf flung a token out. Clay’s name was on it, and there was no more light on it. All that was left on it was dried blood."The Blood Essence Tower can’t be wrong. The blood of the Hawkins’ line has been condensed in it. The Blood Essence Token will fall from the tower only after its master has died. Clay’s token has just fallen from within the tower.”Carson was forced to admit that his son was dead when he saw the token."Uncle, Clay is your favorite nephew. You have to avenge him.” Carson was furious yet sorrowful. Alf
Cyril approached Garth, who was lying on a stretcher on the floor. The crowd opened up a path for him. When he spoke, there was some sort of authority in his tone.Chase smiled and shook his head when he saw this. It looked like Cyril was the key to getting past this level. If things went according to plan, Cyril would soon cross paths with a notorious party. That would be the boss they had to defeat to get past the third level.Cyril opened his yellow bag while the crowd watched curiously. He took out a set of silver needles."That's quite a decent quality!" Willow could not help exclaiming.Medical and poison skills were similar. As a poison expert, Willow had pretty good medical skills. She could tell if a set of silver needles was good quality. Moreover, Cyril's technique was excellent. Willow could not help clapping.The passengers around her jumped at the noise."Why are you clapping when he hasn't even saved the patient?"A sleazy-looking man complained. His breath smelle
"Ms. Worthington, your grandfather has been suffering from this illness for years…"Lourde was not comforted at all by her comfort. He took off his glasses and wiped away his sweat. He began to tremble as he spoke."Don't worry. Everything will be fine. I hired Dr. Clef specially to treat my grandfather. Nothing will happen."The tall Tia Worthington was confident with the doctor's medical skills.Chase started to wonder about this. "If she has gotten a doctor to help her grandfather, why would the staff broadcast for help?"Willow and Walter realized the same thing when they heard Tia. However, they held back their thoughts when Chase said nothing.A young man of about 20 suddenly appeared. He was dressed simply and had a yellow bag on his back."Where's the patient? Let me have a look!" he yelled out.If he had taken time to dress up, he would have looked as handsome as Chase. As for his current situation, anyone who saw him thought that he was ordinary."Where did this bump
"Lastly, if I'm right about this, Carla should be here, but she's stuck on a random level. We'll definitely see her then.""Huh? Really?"Barnabas found this incredulous at first but later thought it made sense. Most importantly, he would not be able to convince the Supreme Elder otherwise even if he did not believe it. All Barnabas could do was agree.Sykes had an even more blunt personality. He would follow whatever the Supreme Elder said.The only thing Sykes cared about was finding a breakthrough to peak martial god.That was when he spoke up, "Should we go in now, Elder Ricky?""Go ahead."Ricky gave an exasperated reply and stepped into the teleportation door.Barnabas and Sykes looked at each other and followed suit.…On the third level of the Dark and Light Mineral Ore, Chase and the others appeared in a plane cabin. He was relieved at first. Chase channeled his vital energy and realized there was also a seal here, but it was a higher quality seal than before. It was
Both sects had always been at loggerheads over resources and power in the past. It was difficult to sort out the feud they had.However, things changed in this generation when Carla led her sect to the top to be on the same level as the Nefarious Deity Sect. She did it all with her own capabilities.The other sects in the nether realm were also hungering for an opportunity to move up their rankings, so both sects came to a temporary compromise.It was because of Carla's feelings for Fallon that the relationship of both sects improved slightly.Dominic and Ricky were elders from the older generation who had handed over their power to the next generation, which was why their fight was not as intense as before. However, they would still taunt and insult each other in every other form possible.When Dominic heard this rumor, he assumed that Fallon had Carla wrapped around his finger.In other words, the Nefarious Deity Sect would soon own the Evil Shadow Sect. He was particularly del
However, the Dark and Light Emeralds' quality was clearly better on the second level than on the first level.If the rumor about this place having nine levels were true, how much more powerful would the Dark and Light Emeralds on the ninth level be?As for Willow and her little gigolo, were they in a hurry to get to the next level because they knew a secret about the ninth level?Ricky's question made him think about this thoroughly.He was impressed.No wonder Ricky was a Supreme Elder. He had such acute observation."Do you mean to say that Willow is in a hurry to get to the ninth level?" he asked the question carefully."Haven't any of you explored the Dark and Light Mineral Ore?" Ricky frowned when he asked this."It's because the Dark and Light Emeralds we found here are only suitable for low-level cultivators, which is why…" Barnabas was embarrassed when he answered."All of you ignored the facts in front of you—the Dark and Light Emeralds, the teleportation doors, and t
Ricky had another thought. It seemed that Willow and the others were in a hurry to get through the teleportation doors. The locations they were sent to were different as well. There was no guarantee that they would arrive at the same place as Willow and the others. Besides that, every level seemed to become increasingly difficult.On the other hand, they had no idea how many levels there were after this. They did not know how many teleportation doors they had to go through.Ricky was hesitant as he looked at the teleportation door that was glowing mysteriously."Why aren't you going inside?" Dominic hurried his old nemesis when Ricky refused to budge."What do Willow and the others want by coming to this place?"Ricky was thoughtful and looked at Dominic to ask the question."What? How would I know? Let's just get this done with. Aren't we here to take the Dark and Light Emerald Lotus? Even if we can't get it, it's also worth it to take his skills and techniques. I'm estimating
"Kill them? No, no, no. I'd never dare do such a thing." The dark sorcerer quickly denied it. He thought that Barnabas and the others were Chase's family and friends when he saw the shocked looks on their faces.No one knew what might happen to him if they mistook him for their murderer."They aren't dead?"Ricky used his consciousness to sense the area. He used his vital energy to pick up the bones and rotting flesh from the ground for closer inspection.The remains looked like they had been there for years. There were also no signs of cultivation on them. Most of the bones and rotting flesh were from the corpses of common men.Dominic inspected them as well and came up with the same conclusion."Tsk… See how much you scared him, Ricky. You shouldn't be so sharp with your questions. Come here, my friend. Tell me where they went."Dominic said to Ricky sarcastically before putting on a friendly face to ask the dark sorcerer.The dark sorcerer looked at the big, plump man and fo
The dark sorcerer began to squirm like a long snake. He had thought the blade would be powerless against him. The dark sorcerer would counter-attack after that and summon the legendary Flame of Destruction to burn those three strange infiltrators to death.Unfortunately, things did not work out the way he planned.Greedy Wolf slashed him at the waist. The dark sorcerer was like a deflated balloon as his black robe fell to the ground. The black silk covering him fell as well, and black smoke wafted from it. His eyes were the only two bright spots left."How is this possible?"The black smoke's form was like the undead they had met before except it was not translucent and had a dark color. It was almost solid.The dark sorcerer's voice was not a sound that was heard in the air. Instead, it reverberated in the minds of Chase and the others.What kind of existence was he?Despite their astonishment, they were not too surprised. Besides the rotting zombie, the undead, the old hag, an
Willow could not let that happen. She forced herself to calm down while pushing it out of her sea of consciousness with great force. She became dizzy and felt like throwing up. It was a similar feeling to getting car sick.She bled from the nose. Her attempt at attacking the tower had caused some damage to her mind and soul."I can't do it. This tower can defend itself against consciousness trying to inspect it," Willow said breathlessly. "Give it up. I'm invincible here!" The dark shadow spoke up once more. Unlike before, his voice seemed to connect directly to everyone's minds.Chase felt a headache. This was only the second level and things had become complicated.He was suddenly impressed by the two people who got to level seven."Stop playing tricks, Dark Sorcerer, or I'll blow up your sorcerer's tower," Chase said grimly. He used the Passive Concentration Technique and the Light Deity Technique to broadcast his words.This dark sorcerer was inclined to use unorthodox te
