Zayn did not know about the issue between Fane and Elder Godfrey. Hence, he spoke in a slightly curious manner, “I feel that Elder Godfrey has let things go. In the past, he had been focused on training. Now, he feels that his life will be too boring if he only focuses on training. It’s surely not as rewarding as getting a disciple and teaching that person everything he knows.”Noel rolled his eyes at Zayn. “Hey, can you stop guessing what the elder has on their mind with your own thoughts? After all, they might have their own agendas.”Zayn laughed dryly. “You are right. Right now, Elder Godfrey has become one of the formal elders, and based on our rules, we should address him as Elder Eleven.”They normally would not address their formal elders with their surnames. Instead, they address them based on their ranking. Right now, Elder Godfrey was in eleventh place so they should address him as Elder Eleven.Fane was lost in a daze for some time before he suddenly asked. “What about
As this matter caused such a big sensation, many formal disciples were eager to give it a try. Noel’s lips twisted into a helpless, envious smile. “We informal disciples can only observe the scene; chances like these won’t ever happen to us. Still, I feel that everybody can be Elder Eleven’s final disciple, apart from Oliver.”After having said this, Noel stared at Fane for a considerable time, and Fane understood what he meant. As Wesley’s full brother, Oliver would definitely hate Fane, seeing as deep grievances ran between him and Wesley. Fane might be the first person he would go after the moment he achieved great feats.Fane chuckled and said, “I believe that Elder Godfrey is a wise person. He won’t be somebody else’s pawn for unknown reasons and hand over all his belongings to outsiders.”Zayn frowned as he obviously did not understand what Fane meant by what he said. However, Noel’s eyes lit up as he sipped his tea, pretending that he did not care. “You have a point there, bu
“Which of the elders do you think will accept disciples who are good at flattery? There are tons of disciples who like to flatter the elders, so is there a need to accept them as elder disciples? If he likes to listen to flattering words that much, I can instantly give up my position here and wait for him at his door every day to tell him a hundred flattering sentences, different every time.”Zayn guffawed at this, and even Fane could not fight the faint smile that crept onto his face. However, Noel was indifferent toward their reactions.On the way back to his room, Fane was still thinking of what they had discussed. He was certain that Elder Godfrey had his own plans for suddenly announcing his intention of getting his last disciple at this moment. He did not believe that Elder Godfrey was able to forget his near-death experience at Mount Beasts.People at Elder Godfrey’s position were extremely hateful of injustice and they would not repay grievances with virtue. It was possible
Fane paused before he continued, “Apart from that, I don’t think we’d be able to hide such things, and it’s not a big deal even if I tell anyone about it. Would Elder Godfrey help me when I’m in trouble? Would I support him and influence the situation in the pavilion? As an informal disciple, I’m unimportant to these high-status people. Naturally, they won’t involve me because of their grudges with Elder Godfrey.”Nash nodded slightly at that; Fane did make sense. Despite his ever-present worry—one that had dwindled, at least—he changed the topic, not wanting to stick around with the previous topic. “Didn’t you tell me that you saw a corpse after you came out of the Ten Absolutes Trap Array?”This instantly reminded Fane of the corpse he saw. Since they were back in the pavilion, they were considered in a safe area. He had closed the door, and nobody would know what was going on if he took the body out at this moment. Fane performed several runes with his hands, and the Mustard Seed
Nash frowned and also focused on the corpse’s right hand. He even raised the corpse’s right skeletal hand, and he could only see from the side that the right hand was holding onto a transparent crystal. However, they had no idea what this transparent crystal was.The father-son duo exchanged glances and reached out toward the deceased’s right hand, trying to pry off the fingers. They initially thought they would have to struggle in opening the fist, seeing how tightly balled it was, but both Fane and Nash heard something cracking. It sounded like a mechanism had been activated when they gave it a try.Startled, both men released the right skeletal hand. The hand fell on the table with a thud, and the tightly closed knuckles opened up, laying flat on the table. The crystal the hand was holding onto so tightly also appeared in front of Fane and Nash.This was a transparent crystal the size of a palm, and it encased a sort of glowing red liquid inside. The red liquid immediately attr
Thinking of this, Fane remarked, “If I’m able to absorb this drop of heavenly blood, I’ll be able to improve my Divine Void Heavenly Path!”The martial art technique that Fane practiced was the Divine Void Heavenly Path, and it was all about control over the laws of space. This drop of blood from the Ancient Eclipse Dragon contained the talents and skills of the beast’s control over the laws of space. If he could absorb this drop of blood, his control over the laws of space would be improved!Amid Fane’s excitement, Nash suddenly chimed in, “Don’t you think that this is rather strange?”Fane raised his brows and looked at Nash, confused. Nash sighed softly before he explained, “The first item was the Scattered Soul Crystals, and now it’s the blood of the Ancient Eclipse Dragon that contained the laws of space. It feels like these two items were purposely prepared for you, and you just so happened to need them. Don’t you think that this is too coincidental?”A look flashed past Fane
Noel guffawed in disbelief. “If it’s something that important, do you think that I’d still be able to sit here, enjoying tea while chit-chatting with you?”That eventually clicked for Fane; Noel made sense. However, what else could mess things up apart from this? Noel did not wait for Fane to ask as he instantly continued, “Didn’t I tell you before, that Elder Eleven is getting his one and only last disciple? The formal disciples are fighting among themselves because of this. Oliver even joined the wager battle arena with other formal disciples because of this. The wager battle arena is so lively that there’s no place to stand, seeing how jam-packed it is there. Do you want to go and take a look?”Fane sighed hopelessly; he did not think that this was such an important matter. It was just a matter of gaining the final disciple, so what was so special? Although this final disciple would only affect where Elder Godfrey sided in the future, it would only affect the greatest issue the
Fane did not want to participate in the event. Noel pursed his lips and said, “Elder Eleven is one of the formal elders, and this is his only disciple. This isn’t considered a big deal for our Dual Sovereign Pavilion. Our disciples understand what has happened among the formal elders, which is why everyone pays special attention to this matter. On top of that, all the other formal elders also pay high importance to this matter. Ten days from now, all the formal elders of the inner gate will also be at the gathering spot for roll call.”Fane’s lips twitched at this. Since all the formal elders would be there, he could not act like he was above the rules and excuse himself from the event. He raised his brows, and the dignified face of Elder Godfrey flashed through his mind. He was incredibly curious as to who Elder Godfrey would choose as his last disciple.Although this had little to do with him, he did not wish for Elder Godfrey to accept Oliver as his last disciple. No matter what,
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.
