The old man nodded his head and said, “The Nine Armies will probably be in trouble right now. There’s quite a number of people among their ranks, and they have the people from the abandoned world who number a few hundred thousand. Although their numbers are big, their overall fighting power is not even worth more than one out of five stars. They’re not capable of taking on the Blood Stalwart Pavilion, so I predict that it would be hard for the people of the Nine Armies to escape!”“Ah, it’s a pity for the genius, Fane Woods. I heard from the people of Pavilion Billow Cloud that the kid’s martial talent is amazing. Such a shame!”The old woman sighed helplessly again. “I’ll survey the remaining numbers of the Pavilion Billow Cloud once I get back. I believe that if there are people who managed to escape, they would go to the Pavilion Billow Cloud to seek refuge.”“Mmhmm. Then let’s go back!”After they talked for a while, they all returned to their own pavilions.At that moment, Fa
“Then you must work hard during this month. If they truly send fighters of the seventh-grade ultimate god realm, you probably won’t be a match for them at your current cultivation level and fighting power!”After Selena thought about it, she said, “Or you must at least break into the third or fourth-grade soul-penetrating realm, right?”Fane also said while smiling helplessly, “That’s right. If I only use a third-grade premium pill to cultivate myself, even if I can stabilize my cultivation level, I will be able to break into the second-grade soul-penetrating realm at most if I use this pill. It’s a lot harder to make breakthroughs once we’re in the soul-penetrating realm. That’s why unless I…”Fane did not continue his sentence, but Selena had already guessed Fane’s thoughts. “Unless you are able to successfully create a fourth-grade elementary pill during this month, and only after creating a fourth-grade elementary pill will your cultivation level be able to increase significantl
Kieran then explained, “Sky Dull City is not a very big city, but it’s a pretty famous one.”“You’re saying that there are alchemists there?”Fane was taken aback. He quickly thought of something and immediately asked Kieran.“Sky Dull City is famous because the people in that lake city all advocate alchemy,” Kieran said, smiling. “Furthermore, that’s a place where alchemists frequently go to trade. There’ll be people going there to sell or buy materials used in alchemy, including alchemy stoves and even alchemy formulae. People sell those there!”“There’s actually a place like that? Why didn’t you say so earlier?”Fane was excited after he heard that.Kieran quickly explained, “Master, I only found out that you were an alchemist yesterday. Besides, we were so busy yesterday as we had just finished battling the enemy and I was busy cleaning up the spoils of war. I didn’t have the time to tell you about this either. However, most of the people in Sky Dull City are first-grade elem
“I never thought that there would actually be a place like this! This is practically a paradise for us, alchemists!”Kevin looked at the modest-sized fortress, excitement was etched onto his expression.When the three walked to the entrance of the city, they saw many people selling their wares at the gates.“Second-grade elementary sky dragon grass—no need to use spirited grass to exchange for it. You only need a hundred premium spirited stones!”A fatty began to hawk his wares as he sat cross-legged on the ground.“Seriously? Using a hundred premium-grade spirited stones to buy a single stalk of sky dragon grass? Aren’t you just ripping people off? You’re being a little too greedy, Brother.”Here, a few people also walked over, and one of them began to nag and scold the fatty.The fatty just gave a wan smile. “You have no idea that this is a thousand years old, Brother,” he said. “It may be of a lower grade, but it’s not easy to find such spirited grass either. I think somethin
The girl looked at the words on the plate and could not help but frown. “Why haven’t I heard of this sect? The Nine Gods clan? Don’t tell me that it’s not even a third-class sect?”Kevin quickly stood up when he saw that a person had finally come by. “Our sect was established not too long ago, young lady,” he introduced. “We just established ourselves yesterday, but don’t you think that such a sect is more attractive, with its potential to grow?”The girl’s expression twisted into disdain when she heard this. “I may be a casual trainer, but I’m already a first-grade premium alchemist. I have good talent in alchemy, so forget about a new clan like you. I intend to find someone who’s at least a third-grade elementary alchemist to teach me. Only an alchemist like that would be able to nurture me!”Kevin’s eyes brightened when he heard this. “Our sect would be perfect for you then, young lady,” he said, chuckling. “I may not be a third-grade alchemist, but I’m getting there soon. I’m ju
Once Fane’s words rang out, many eyes wandered toward his direction immediately. Sky Dull City was a haven for alchemists, and there were plenty of alchemists gathered here.Even if the people who came here were not alchemists, they still knew plenty about the trade. Now that someone was calling himself a third-grade premium alchemist, everyone was practically sneering upon him.Did he take them as uneducated idiots? Who were the third-grade premium alchemists? Not even two of them could be found in the entire Sky Dull City. Even if they were complete bullies, one must always treat third-grade premium alchemists with courtesy.After all, third-grade premium alchemists could create pills that would help those in the soul-penetrating realm. Alchemy was a respected profession in the cultivation world, and a third-grade premium alchemist was the crème of the crop.The people surrounded Fane tightly in a flash, all their eyes pinned onto him.There were even some who began discussing i
“It must be for show. The brat’s method of creating the concoction is real enough and he should be an alchemist of a pretty high grade, but he’s definitely not a third-grade premium alchemist. If he were, he would not be out on the streets.” The man with the goatee straightened his neck out, sneering as he spoke.The discussions went on endlessly, and they all entered Kevin and Kieran’s ears. They held themselves back for the sake of the future.However, the last sentence coming from the middle-aged man with a goatee was spoken with a condescending and mocking expression. It was not simply a discussion.Kevin gave a cold harrumph and glared at the middle-aged man with a goatee. “Just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean that others can’t. Just wait for the results to see if he succeeds or not. You keep rattling off non-stop. Do you want a beating?”He had been irritated by the man with the goatee long ago. He had been rambling on from the start, and the more he spoke, the darker hi
The gods-transfiguring pill was not complicated to create for Fane. He had tried doing it many times before, and he was so familiar with the process that it was almost habitual. Even if he was surrounded by people watching him, his progress was not affected at all. Before an incense stick’s worth of time had passed, half of the pill’s shape slowly solidified. A herbal scent wafted from the stove and suddenly spread to its surroundings, and everyone’s eyes went big.Even if they could not personally verify if this was truly a third-grade premium pill, they could tell that it was no ordinary pill from the scent alone. It was a third-grade intermediate pill at least!“It’s done! It’s truly done! Oh my God! I thought he was just boasting! I didn’t think he was truly a third-grade premium alchemist!”“That’s right! I didn’t think he would be so skilled at such a young age! We can’t even easily find third-grade premium alchemists during this day and age!" The crowd burst into chatter,
There was a heavy rumbling as the door slowly opened. A boundless sense of energy seemed to come from it.A few of them looked inside. Other than the green light, they could see nothing. The light completely obscured their sight. If they wanted to look inside, they would have to step in themselves.On the way there, Fane had already talked to Lourain about it. Lourain wanted to see what the legendary Valley of Enlightenment was like. That was why Fane asked for two spots.The three of them exchanged looks with each other, and they did not hesitate to step forward together, entering the door.The power of distorting space suddenly pulled the three of them in. The space around them started to spin rapidly. They did not know how much time passed, but it felt like a whole century before the space slowed down in front of them. Then, the sense of weightlessness disappeared as their feet landed on solid ground.The three of them had not been sent to different locations and arrived at the
Zayne scoffed, "Alright then, how do you want to work together?"He wanted to see what Fane was trying to do.Fane did not waste any time, "Both of us have all three keys, and we can open the door. Ten people can enter the door anyway. I just need two of those spots.Zayne looked at Fane meaningfully, "You sure know quite a bit."Fane even knew that only ten people would be allowed through. He seemed to have done his homework.Zayne took out his purple key from his storage ring. At that moment, all three keys were there. As long as all the keys were placed together, the gateway to the Valley of Enlightenment would open."If you only need two spots, then I don't mind working with you," Zayne looked at Fane meaningfully, but he quickly added, "However, make sure you don't cause any trouble during the important moments."Fane smiled before he said, "I've always been someone who keeps to my word. I'm more worried that you'll cause me trouble instead. There are many geniuses in the V
The two of them knew what that meant. Their eyes met, and worry was evident in their eyes."Is it Fane again?" Zayne said with a frown. At that moment, the first name that popped up in his head was Fane.Only Fane would truly be a big problem for them. Seymour's expression turned sour. He suddenly felt like Fane seemed to be his Achilles heel. Fane could pop out at any time and put him in a difficult spot."That's right! It's me!" At that moment, a voice was heard from afar. The two of them looked in the direction of the voice and saw five figures appearing in the air.This time, Fane did not have a disguise on. He was facing everyone with his real face."It really is you!" Zayne's face completely soured at that moment. Even if they were meeting for the first time, he was already incredibly sensitive to Fane's name.Nothing good ever happened when Fane was mentioned and Fane had actually appeared in front of him."How dare you!" Seymour shouted angrily!He walked forward to sta
When Shin and the others saw that, they were speechless. That person who had looked down on them was completely bound and on the ground at that moment. He looked pathetic.Fane quickly walked toward Warren, reaching out to pull off the mask to reveal his face.Fane controlled his energy, reducing the destructive power in Warren's soul. After the pain diminished, Warren slowly woke up.He looked up and saw the one person he never wanted to see in his life. He lost his voice as he said, "Fane?! It's you!" He almost bit his tongue as he spoke.Fane smiled and nodded slightly, "Yes. It’s me.""No wonder, so it's you! Where's Presti then?" Warren looked up and said.Fane raised an eyebrow and shot an incredulous look at Warren. Warren immediately understood what happened, and his whole face turned pale, "He's dead!"Fane nodded. There was nothing much to hide. Warren gulped, suddenly feeling like his thoughts from earlier were an absolute joke at that moment. He had even been think
After seeing that, there was a surprised look on Warren's face. However, he quickly pushed back that surprise. Even if that man was skilled, he would just be an above-average warrior. Above-average warriors were like paper to him!"Brat, it looks like you have some skill. However, that means nothing in front of me. I'll show you right now what a warrior at the peak is!"Right after he said that, he circulated his true energy around his feet. Red energy started to frantically blow away the dust on the ground. He lunged into the air incredibly fast.Fane raised an eyebrow before he started to form seals with his hands. Countless seals danced around in the air, and a chain appeared.That chain looked like a black dragon as it danced in the air.Warren scoffed in disdain. It was just a petty trick from an above-average warrior in his eyes. That chain would shatter in just one blow.He did not even bother thinking about it as he raised the sword in his hand. A silver ray of light quic
He leaped forward and landed in front of those four. Fane had already noticed Warren a while ago, but Fane relaxed when he saw Warren was alone. If it was just one person, then there was nothing to worry about!"Presti really is a piece of trash. He couldn't even get you!" Warren said with a sneer.Shin clutched his chest and turned to look at Cavill next to him. Cavill nodded slightly and did not say anything. The two of them shut their mouths at the same time as they looked in Fane's direction.Warren immediately felt something was wrong. He turned to look at Fane and saw that Fane was still completely calm as if nothing had happened."Brat, it looks like you're no ordinary person!" Warren said with a sneer.Fane turned to look at him before saying calmly, "Are you here to kill us?"Warren laughed out loud, and his eyes were full of mockery, "What do you think I'm doing here? Do I look like I'm here to chat?"Fane laughed. He could not believe another one turned up so soon aft
When Warren heard that, he felt incredibly exasperated. He mumbled, "It's just Shin, how could there be any trouble? Even if he has some fellow disciples with him, Presti is more than enough. They're all trash anyway."Zayne frowned, and he unleashed an incredibly strong aura that forced Warren to take a step back, "Shut up! Do you think we can afford to be careless right now? We're at the cusp of accomplishing everything right now. We have to be extremely careful. What kind of attitude is this?"Warren immediately shut up and did not dare to say anything. Zayne coldly looked at Warren, and deeply felt like Warren was not someone who could accomplish much. If it was not for the fact that he was useful, Zayne would not even bother bringing Warren through the door with him.Seymour turned to look into the distance. Gray mist filled up the skies, and no one could see the end of the horizon.There was nothing in the skies, and Seymour suddenly started to feel some worry. He was not clo
In front of an ancient stone door, two men were standing there, while another was sitting down and resting.The men who were standing had very stiff expressions on their faces. The two of them looked at each other with animosity in their eyes. It was obvious they were not friendly with each other. The man who was sitting down had his eyes shut and completely ignored the other two."Seymour! You're just the same as Desmond. You can't even get something so simple done. Desmond lost his life. I think you're about to follow suit!" Warren sneered as he mocked.Seymour's expression was dark, and he shot right back, "Warren, stop with those disgusting words of yours! Don't think I don't know what you're trying to do. You're just trying to push me down and take all the credit for yourself!"Stop joking around! You aren't smart enough to steal my credit! Even though Desmond is already dead, he still did the best he could. He was just tricked by Fane. If it was you, you wouldn't even have
Fane frowned. After he reached out to grab Presti's neck, Presti's life ended with a crack.Shin's eyes widened as he looked at Fane with fear. His savior could very well kill him!Cavill started to panic as well. He looked at Fane with alarm. Even though he was thankful that Fane saved the two of them just now, he had no way to tell what Fane would do after this. Fane slowly walked in front of them, and he did not show much emotion on his face.Cavill said in a dry voice, "Fane, you…?"Fane shook his head, "Don't panic. I won't kill you. Let's work together. It's not like only one person will be able to enter after the door opens."Shin looked at Fane with an incredibly inquisitive look. He thought about it before he said, "I… I don't want to work together. I'll give you the key as thanks for saving me. That Valley of Enlightenment doesn't sound like a good place at all. If I enter, I don't even know if I'll be able to survive."As he spoke, Shin had a bitter look on his face.
