MasukWhile Charlie celebrated Nanako's enlightenment with delight, he could only feel dismay at Vera's inability to attain enlightenment.Someone up there decided to bless Vera with the perfect face, five hundred years of life, the sharpest of wit, and unmatched determination.If anything, such gifts made her appear to be the gods' favorite, but that only made Charlie feel they were unfair to her all the more.After all, she could have grown beyond perfection.If she couldn't attain enlightenment and Charlie himself couldn't make an Infinite Pill in the next hundred years, then Vera's lifespan would be exhausted.Still, Charlie's opinion was that she should live another five hundred, perhaps fifteen hundred years.Unlike Fleur or Marcius, who spent every day seeking immortality, Vera never wasted a single day in her four hundred years—leading a vibrant existence even when she was running for her life.And in Charlie's eyes, a woman like her deserved immortality the most, and it was d
However, circumstances had changed—not only were the fresh buds of the kombuc tree richer in Reiki, but the numbers also multiplied rapidly.That meant a rich source of Reiki that was almost inexhaustible, and something not to be underestimated. It was something that set it apart from spirit stones, which were exhaustible and probably not many were left on Earth.On the other hand, the kombuc tree leaves would always keep growing.Charlie speculated that the reason the kombuc tree's buds and leaves had become so rich in Reiki after being transplanted was that it had absorbed the ridiculously concentrated Reiki here. He had no way of verifying the exact density of the Reiki here, but judging from the abilities of the cultivators who built this place, he deduced that the Reiki here was practically inexhaustible for cultivators like himself. He felt like an ant who had accidentally discovered a food depot left behind by human civilization when they withdrew from Earth. While the fo
To move the kombuc tree, Charlie took the soil from his ring and placed it into the center of the marble slabs. When the soil pile was less than six feet from the top, he took the kombuc tree out of the void pocket, gently placing it at the center of the soil. As the kombuc tree roots were brought together with the rest of the tree, Charlie completely covered the roots with more soil. Once he did, he was surprised to see the already lush tree canopy rapidly expanding, with almost twice the number of tender green buds. With the emergence of numerous buds, the trunk and branches of the entire tree visibly thickened instantly, as if it were growing rapidly like a child in puberty. Charlie realized this might be the kombuc tree's own cultivation level. It had grown step by step from a tea tree to reach the Trial of Transcendence, likely transcending painstakingly across different realms. Vera watched in amazement at the fresh buds, murmuring, "This is really the right place for it—
Seeing that, Charlie finally had a fair idea of how it all worked.As he took objects outside, the nearest tip of the object must not exceed sixty feet from himself.So if it was something like a 150-foot-long log, the far end can be as far as 210 feet, while the nearest must remain within sixty feet of him.If the logs were replaced with a massive steel dome 150 feet in diameter, the dome's maximum coverage distance would reach 210 feet too. But what if it were a giant steel pot instead? Making it some ten feet thick while 240 feet from handle to handle, and with the sixty-foot telekinesis limit, it really covered a length of 300 feet. Within such distances, Charlie could fight if he wanted—or slam the supermassive pot over them if he couldn't. It might crush them like a cockroach, and not even Fleur would be able to escape that quickly… Could she? So if he really found himself losing, he'd just send the pot over Fleur's head, and buy time enough to run away. Most important
As a rule, the void ring required physical contact with the object for a deposit into the inside of the void pocket. That was not necessary when making a withdrawal—Charlie just had to imagine where he wanted the object placed, and it would be placed there.Charlie hence focused his concentration on the thousands of slabs of marble, imagining in his mind where he wanted them.And in an instant, they materialized out on the floor of the plaza. The weight-length ratio of each slab was one to seven, and it thus formed a square when seven were placed adjacent to each other. While Charlie arranged them into a bigger square with an empty center, he stacked up to seven layers of slabs. Once the first layer was done, he lay the second layer horizontally so each layer intersected at a 90 degree angle, ensuring balance instead of directly stacking them over each other.Soon, as more marble slabs flew out of the void pocket into a wall around him, Charlie took Vera's hand and leaped to the
Even though they quickly passed through the airport by pulling strings, the journey still took at least four hours—two hours was spent in flight, while at least one hour was spent in the car.After all, Crane's Cry was far away from Westron's cities. The dozen mile journey wasn't all that far, and an hour was the optimal travel duration considering the complicated paths.And that's just reaching the mountain—they still needed an hour to walk to the cave where the portal was, since Charlie was with Vera.If they had a helicopter, that certainly spared them a lot of time, needing just twenty minutes instead of traveling by car.As they alighted and trekked up Crane's Cry along the lightless mountain road, it was another hour before they finally reached the cave where the portal was hidden.Holding Vera's hand, Charlie cast the mental incantation in his mind, and they were suddenly inside.It was dark outside, but the interior of the cave had a mild, comfortable glow just like the A
Elaine cried and said, “Let’s not talk about this anymore. The MLM organization took revenge on me. They grabbed me and bludgeoned me up… I lost some hair, and I broke my legs...”“What?!” Claire cried out in shock. “Did you make a police report?”Elaine continued sobbing. “I already did.

Several servants suddenly ran over and asked, “Sir, what happened?!”Tyler replied, “I pressed Lord Moore’s doorbell a couple of times, but he did not respond at all. I am afraid that something might have happened to him. You should help me to knock this door open!”When the several servants heard thi

Since this is the case, why don’t you just divest now? What else are you waiting for?”Lady Wilson immediately pleaded pitifully. “Mr. Webb! Is
Unexpectedly, both of them had come to Yule’s house this time.Could it be that the Schulz family was also trying to win over the Golding family now?However, Charlie did not say much through the video call. After all, Yule did not know about his adventure in Japan.At this time, Adrian, the second chi
