LOGINTo ensure the ancient cultivators' plan in setting up all the different portals, Charlie solemnly examined the clues.He needed to confirm one thing—the portal required copious amounts of Reiki to run, just as each time Vera's ring teleported him. It needed all the Reiki it drained from him up until that point.Moreover, even knowing each teleportation burned through a lot of Reiki, he still couldn't be sure that the distance of teleportation affected the amount of Reiki used. If it were a case-by-case basis, then intercontinental teleportation needed more than several times the amount of Reiki he used to teleport from the Champs Elys Resort to the Scarlet Pinnacle Manor.There was also the issue that thousands of ancient cultivators must have used those portals freely every day, which means they must have been used thousands of times every day… The volume of Reiki required could well drain the planet dry.That alone meant the cost of building and maintaining the portals was astron
Charlie thought that since Aurous Hill was east of Crane's Cry, he could try to see how far the portal to the east was from Aurous Hill.Hence, he didn't wait; he moved to the east-side portal and thought of the mental incantation for it.Golden light flashed, and when he opened his eyes again, he was once again within an artificial cave.He stepped out and saw that it was once again daytime in the middle of a springtime forest. The only difference is that the geographical features meant it wasn't Hearth's Cry, and the hills didn't look Oskian—more volcanic.Charlie hence whipped out his satellite phone and checked the GPS locator to see that he was on Mount Ontake, Japan.It was one of the nation's holy mountains and a religious spot, and the origin of Shintoism.Charlie hence wondered why those ancient cultivators would build a portal in Japan… Unless it was where they were active too?After all, he was under the impression that all portals led to Oskia, only for the portal to
Charlie quickly passed through the cavern chamber and the tunnel, and soon found the cavern entrance.It must be daytime as it was really bright outside, and the warmth meant it couldn't have been the South Pole. As Charlie approached the cave entrance, he suddenly recalled the embarrassing scene of being teleported by Vera's ring for the first time. He immediately looked down at himself, and was relieved that things were different now. The first time the ring teleported him, Coldie's self-destruction had ripped his clothes to shreds, leaving him completely naked when he teleported to Vera's side. This time, not compelled by danger to teleport, even his clothes and belongings were sent here with him. If anything, after his bloody battle with Barlin, his clothes were a little shredded by Barlin's Infinite Sword technique. Along with all the cuts and gashes, he was quite the gruesome sight, so he thought to himself that it would be best to stay away from other people in case he
Charlie himself had been to many cultivator temples, but not one had such vivid sculptures. After all, everything from posture, facial features, facial expression, down to their limbs was sculpted to perfection. They looked more real than the person, projecting both authority and compassion as if they really were smiling at Charlie.Charlie had no idea how Buddhism was linked to Daoism, and he himself leaned toward cultivator legacies that he inherited. So in his heart, the Trinity were his progenitor mentors, which was why he bowed in front of all three statues piously before he left.However, just as he was about to leave, a circle shimmering with golden light and inscribed with numerous runes suddenly appeared beneath his feet. As the circle flashed, its golden light illuminating Charlie's body intensified, and it became blinding. Suddenly, Charlie could no longer see himself, only the golden light.In an instant, Charlie suddenly felt as if his body had been instantly draine
As Charlie tread alone through the unblemished ancient streets, he was all the more shocked.Over dozens of thousands could live here considering the scale of the city, and he couldn't imagine that many cultivators living here in the same place when you couldn't even gather hundreds of them these days.After walking around the city, Charlie was as shocked as he was disappointed—aside from the furnace that couldn't be moved, there was none of the infinite cultivation treasures Barlin had expected.There just wasn't a single mystic pill, mystic relic, or even cultivation manuals. Aside from the dense Reiki in the air, there wasn't anything that helped cultivation.And that left Charlie utterly confused. Considering the caliber of cultivators before the Degenerate Age of Dharma, why didn't they leave anything behind? Could they have taken everything with them when they left? That didn't make sense—with the amount of Reiki generated to keep this massive city running, personal prope
Charlie gingerly opened one of the doors—it wasn't locked, and had no lock mechanisms at all.Further inside, there weren't even door frames.It was around three thousand square feet—a modest size for a residence, and there just wasn't anything to be found. No laundry area, no storage for food, and certainly no cages where livestock were kept.In fact, there wasn't even a well—it was all clean marble tile floors, the building itself and nothing else.Charlie strode past the courtyard toward the row of three buildings. He looked into the main building first, but there wasn't any furniture, only exquisitely woven straw mats, circular meditation pads for cultivation.The buildings to the left and the right didn't even have a bedroom in the traditional sense. There was only a sealed chamber for cultivation in the building to the left, and a crib to the right, as well as some wooden toys.Aside from newborns, Charlie had the feeling that those living here would have reached high cul
Charlie’s words really scared Cadfan.The more frightened he was, the louder he roared, “On what grounds? I’ve already been the head of the Schulz family for so many years now, so how can I not be the head of the Schulz family anymore just because you say so?! What qualifications do you have to deter
When Porter heard this, he bowed his head low, and his entire body trembled violently as his tears kept rolling down his cheeks, dripping to the ground.He really wanted to live.However, he was afraid that Charlie would not let him live, nor would he allow his brothers to live. In addition, Porter wa
Still, Charlie was not simply letting Porter gain all of this in vain.This was because Porter would no longer own his own life from today onward.Porter would be using all of his time and energy for the rest of his life to serve and stay loyal to Charlie.Therefore, Charlie looked at Porter, nodded sl
After Charlie and the Wade family had finished briefly paying their respects to their ancestors, Charlie arrived at Shangri-La with his grandfather, Jeremiah, and his youngest aunt, Charlotte. As they were preparing to host the banquet for all Charlie’s friends and relatives who had come up to Mount
