What could not be denied was that many people will definitely die inside. Fane could not help but shake his head at that thought, discarding those notions.He raised his head at Rudy, and Rudy nodded. The two of them started walking away from Black Sun City.Right as they took a few steps away, the rumbling was suddenly heard from Black Sun City. It was as if a mechanism was moving. Fane immediately grabbed Rudy's arm, preparing for any danger.Yet, the expected danger did not happen. After the rumbling, a faint purple glow was seen from Black Sun City. The light gathered into an orb and formed in mid-air.The orb was incredibly radiant. Fane could not even keep his eyes open when he tried to look over. After the light was formed, it suddenly sped at Fane.Fane took a step back, but he remained in place after feeling no trace of an attack from the orb. He frowned in alarm as the orb stopped in front of him.He could hear a splashing sound next to his ears, as if a creek was flowi
He could not help but take a deep breath and said, "That means that we'll have to constantly go through the tests of the different leveled cities in the Whirling World if we want to get closer to the important areas. Only those who pass the tests can get to the core of the Whirling World!"Fane nodded. Based on the information he had gotten, it really seemed to be that way. It appeared that they would constantly be facing challenges after this. Only by passing the challenges would they be able to continue advancing.Two years was not a short time, but it was not that long either. Fane could not help but wonder if he could really enter a level one city in the Whirling World within two years.He did not know if there would be other ways to get into the Valley of Enlightenment in a level one city. He did not know what plans the Unbreaking Pavilion and Phoenix Valley had.Rudy looked up at Fane, his lips twitching helplessly. After a long time, Rudy said, "Don't just be excited for you
The journey that followed was comparatively a lot more mundane than before. Along the whole way, they did not encounter a single person even though they did not advance that quickly. After all, even if the Whirling World was devoid of beasts, there were still people with ill intentions around. They needed to be on alert at all times.Two days passed by in an instant. The two of them had passed an unknown distance. Fane knew the way, but Rudy did not. It was only when Rudy saw a tall tower in the distance that he knew that they had arrived at their destination.Even though there was still a very long way to go, Rudy still got excited when he saw the tip of the tower. He pulled at Fane's sleeve and pointed at it."That should be Thousand Leaves City!" Fane nodded with a sigh as he confirmed the path they would be taking to make sure that it really was Thousand Leaves City.Rudy sighed as he lamented, "We're finally here. I've been bored to death just walking for the past few days."
Anthony only reacted after Fane's question. He had lost his composure a little earlier. He coughed somewhat awkwardly as he said immediately, "Only one thousand spirit crystals are needed. My senior is almost here. He only needs one thousand!"Those words stunned Fane and Rudy. One thousand spirit crystals? What senior?Fane furrowed his eyebrows, "What do you mean?" Rudy said as well, "That's right! What do you mean? We never said we were buying anything from you?"Hearing that, Anthony immediately realized that those two alchemists did not know anything at all. He was even happier at that point. It was better if they did not know the prices. If he had met some sharper alchemists, he might have had to negotiate for a long time.Anthony hurriedly explained, "The two of you probably want to enter Thousand Leaves City, right?"Fane nodded. Anthony's question was a waste of time. Why would they even be there if not for Thousand Leaves City?Anthony had a kind smile on his face as
After explaining for so long, Anthony saw that the two of them finally understood. He immediately gave them an invitation, "Bringing the two of you inside is absolutely possible. Normal wandering warriors wouldn't be able to do it. Only the disciples of the Deer Pavilion will be able to do so."My senior disciple will be here soon. As long as each of you gives me a thousand spirit crystals and guarantees that you'll help us refine pills after we get the materials, we'll bring the two of you with us!"After saying that, Anthony raised his head slightly, waiting for their answer. Anthony was incredibly confident in himself and his clan. As a clan that stood at the top of seventh-grade clans, they were still at the top of Middle Province, even if they could not compare to eighth-grade clans.Other than the strongest of disciples, no one dared to look down on them. Fane raised an eyebrow as he looked at Anthony meaningfully and asked, "So you're so intent on bringing us in because you w
He furrowed his eyebrows as he said anxiously, "The two of you have been talking for quite a while. Shouldn't you give us an answer? Even if you're sixth-grade alchemists, you can't really do much in the Whirling World."If you don't work with us, we'll just work with higher-level alchemists when we meet them!" Anthony said those words with conviction as though it was a warning. Anthony was trying to make himself look as good as possible. It was as if the chance would be gone if the two of them did not hurry up and agree.Fane's lips twitched helplessly. He was not some inexperienced child. How could he just believe Anthony's words so easily?Anthony had definitely not been lying when he was talking about the rules, but the subsequent part was uncertain.Fane nodded at Anthony, "I'll give you an answer right now. The two of us have already made a decision. We won't rely on anyone else, and won't work for anyone either. Thank you for telling us the rules of Thousand Leaves City. I
He had said things so clearly. He did not even have any intention of negotiating things. Did he really think he could enter Thousand Leaves City by himself as an alchemist?He could not be as certain about other things, but there was a piece of common knowledge in Hestia Continent. No matter how exceptional the alchemist was, they would throw most of their time into alchemy, neglecting their training. It meant that alchemists were all not very strong.Even though Fane looked like he was at the late stage of the innate level at that moment, Anthony was sure that Fane's actual skill was not at that level. At most, Fane would only be at the middle stage of the innate level.Someone at the middle stage of the innate level was actually talking to him so arrogantly. He did not plan on getting anyone's help to enter Thousand Leaves City!Anthony wanted to laugh at that thought. The brat was too arrogant. Who did he think he was?Anthony coldly snorted and said, "Just you wait! You will r
Rudy immediately froze at those words. He frowned as he looked at the city gates in fear. At the moment, the gates were partially shut, leaving only enough room for one person to pass.Many people were trying to get in, but there were also a lot of them who were looking at the city gates with concern. Ever since he arrived at the plaza in front of the gates, Fane had only seen people enter. He had not seen a single person coming out.That basically meant that Thousand Leaves City was several times more dangerous than Black Sun City. With Rudy's meager skills, he would not be able to do anything.The more Rudy thought about it, the more worried he got. There were countless treasures in the Whirling World. It was an amazing place for most warriors, but with the resources came unavoidable danger.For those that were strong, the danger would turn into an opportunity. However, the weak would just be putting their life at risk. It was a beast with an open mouth that could swallow them wh
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.
