Three days later, the ancient sage's secret treasure viewing event was held in the most luxurious hotel in Mystic City. All the forces in the city and various figures from the outside world were invited to attend tonight's dinner party. Although there were few luxury cars in front of the hotel, famous people graced the red carpet. Among them, people from the Larson family and representatives from the Gentleman Court and the Alliance attended too. Representatives of various disciple families and some large domestic forces were also here to view the secret treasures of the ancient sage. When the dinner began, the hall was already packed. Everyone chatted in low voices about the secret treasures of the ancient sage. “What do you think this ancient sage's secret treasure looks like?” “Who knows? But I heard that the secret treasure can help a powerhouse at the peak of the seventh zone to enter a half-step to the other shore directly!” “Really? We can watch a good show tonig
Claus Motley walked out from the back of the hall with a smile and greeted everyone, “Everyone, do excuse me for being late. I had to take care of some private matters.” As Claus spoke, he was already standing next to the main seat. Everyone nodded slightly to Claus. After that, Claus did not sit on the main seat but smiled at everyone and said, “I’m not the host for tonight.” Having said that, he stood on one side, looked at the door, and announced, “Let’s welcome Young Patriarch Clarke.” Then, Philip walked in with Fennel and the others. Tonight, Philip wore a dark gray suit with shoes, looking handsome and imposing. Especially that pair of well-defined eyes with a faint chill that made everyone avert their eyes. This young man’s presence was too compelling. Philip took his seat, and everyone looked at each other. An old man with a walking cane spoke up at this moment, “We’ve long heard of Young Patriarch Clarke’s reputation. I didn’t expect you to be so young. Yo
The knife and fork flew at Keith with extreme speed and force! Keith sneered, snorted coldly, and said, “Hmph, young man, you’re out of your depths!” While saying that, the slap he launched had already collided with the knife and fork! Boom! It could be clearly seen the knife and fork broke through Keith’s attack with great force and pierced through Keith’s palm with two poofs, spraying blood all over! “Argh! How dare you, young man!” Keith retracted his hand, his face full of anger! He actually suffered a loss in front of a young man in the early stage of the seventh zone! All the guests present were shocked by this scene. They thought that Philip would definitely suffer in Keith’s hands, but the outcome was reversed! Keith Stafford was a powerhouse in the late stage of the seventh zone, but he was injured by a junior in the early stage of the seventh zone! “Whoa, what happened? Keith Stafford was defeated in one move!” “Oh my, how strong is Young Patriarch Cla
Philip’s kick landed on Keith’s chest, which sent him flying a few meters away before he fell heavily to the ground! Everyone was shocked by this scene! Keith rolled to the ground, clutched his chest, and spat out a mouthful of blood. He stared at Philip with dilated pupils and said, “W-What is going on? Why did I lose my strength?” Philip sneered, showed the white jade box in his hand to everyone, and said, “That’s because what I hold in my hand is the secret treasure of the ancient sage that everyone wants to see tonight!” Whoa! The crowd was in an uproar! Everyone’s eyes popped wide open as they stared at the white jade box in Philip’s hands. Was this the secret treasure of the ancient sage? Everyone’s minds raced. The secret treasure of the ancient sage was right in front of them now. It would be a lie if they said they did not want it. Lying on the floor, Keith looked at the white jade box in Philip's hand and said, “Can this ancient sage's secret treasure supp
The hall suddenly fell silent. Everyone’s eyes focused on the old man in fancy clothes. Claus was also taken aback when he saw the old man. He whispered in Philip’s ear, “Young Patriarch Clarke, this person has a solid background. He’s from the Imperial Palace and is one of the four chiefs. His name is Tyson Floyd, and his strength is unfathomable. Even the Imperial Preceptor has to show him some respect.” Hearing this, Philip frowned as he looked at the old man in fancy clothes. The old man looked very kind and friendly, and his eyes seemed wise. He smiled and put down the teacup in his hand. He looked at Philip and said, “Young Patriarch Clarke, can you let me take a look at the secret treasure of the ancient sage?” Everyone in the hall held their breath at the request. This old man was from the Imperial Palace. he was the person with the highest status here! Tyson Floyd almost entered the Imperial Palace back then. The first half of his life could be described as s
Everyone looked in the direction of the old man who spoke. The old man had a ruddy and youthful face. He looked very energetic. Tyson frowned as a chill flashed in the corner of his eyes. He said, “Holt Woods, this is Northwest Mystic City. It’s my territory, not your Heavenly Court! I don’t need your permission to make a decision!” The old man in a suit laughed and said, “Tyson Floyd, do you think you can stop Heavenly Court if we really want to interfere? Even if the Imperial Preceptor were here today, he wouldn’t dare to question my actions, let alone you!” Bang! Tyson smacked the table and suddenly exploded with a strong aura no less than a half step to the other shore, which swept over the other party. He said coldly, “Presumptuous! How dare you belittle the Imperial Preceptor in our country? You have crossed the line!” Boom! This angry shout frightened everyone so much that they glanced at each other! It was like the sound of thunder! However, Holt Woods was not
With that said, the hall quickly fell silent. Everyone gasped. This person had no regard for the younger brother of the Great Heavenly King at all! Of course, this message was given by the master behind him. At this moment, everyone also realized who the master behind him was! For a while, Holt sat frozen in place. His face was dark, and his expression was ugly. After a while, he suddenly put the teacup in his hand on the table and said coldly, “Are you saying that your master wants to take action against our Heavenly Court?” Many patriarchs of the disciple families sitting in the hall might not know much about Heavenly Court. However, someone said, “Heavenly Court is much more powerful than you think! It’s a force that has been around for a long time!” “Not only that, I heard that they have numerous top experts who rarely make an appearance. Once they do, everything in this world will be within their grasp!” “Are they really that powerful? Who are they?” As every
The Imperial Preceptor. He was the first person in the country who once led the supremes to fight against the eight kingdoms! A true hero! Anyone who saw the Imperial Preceptor would feel a sense of fear and worship. After all, he was the Imperial Preceptor. Philip walked into the gazebo and said with a bow, “Imperial Preceptor, Philip Clarke at your service.” The Imperial Preceptor raised his eyebrows and smiled. He poured a cup of tea for Philip and said, “That’s fine. Come and sit.” Philip obeyed and sat down. The Imperial Preceptor glanced at Philip before turning his gaze up at the skylight above the gazebo. He sighed and said, “You really look a lot like him, which reminds me of my younger days with him. At that time, your father was also very high-spirited like you. He never cared about anything. He had his plans and faith about everything.” Hearing that, Philip said, “Were you good friends with my father when you were younger?” The Imperial Preceptor smiled
No one thought highly of Moray, and they did not even know what level he was at, but they knew he was not that strong or he would not have ended up in this miserable state. The stone man waved his hand calmly, and Moray fell to the ground, gasping heavily with fear in his eyes. Moray thought he could easily take the stone man down with that sneak attack, but he was sorely mistaken. The stone man was much stronger than he imagined. “I hate sneak attacks the most. Since you think so highly of yourself, go to hell.” The stone man engulfed Moray in the black energy, and Moray died before he could do anything. Philip watched the scene indifferently without taking it to heart at all. Moray’s death had nothing to do with him. The merfolk were in disbelief. They watched the scene with conflicted emotions but had to accept reality in the end. After going through so much, they were disappointed in Moray and had long wanted to leave him. Now that he was dead, they could finally choo
The stone man fell silent at Philip’s remark. He felt as if Philip was staring at his stone core and could rip him apart at any second. More importantly, he was different from ordinary practitioners of other races. He would die once he lost his stone core, and he could forget about taking over another person’s body to resurrect again. He simply wanted to become stronger, not look for trouble. “H-How did you know?” His eyes flashed with fear, clearly scared. Many people around heard Philip’s remark. They looked at the stone man thoughtfully. Since Philip was here, the stone man could not do much. In that case, they could find a way to kill the stone man. They could leave once they get the so-called stone core from the stone man. “Philip, do you mean we can leave once we get that stone core?” Lyle asked thoughtfully. He was curious because this was the first time he had heard of the stone core. Philip nodded. That was indeed the case. Suddenly, Moray, the merfolk chief, spr
“How can we leave this place?” Philip looked around but found no exit. The arrogant stone man had to tell them or no one could leave. Hearing that crucial question, everyone pricked up their ears expectantly. They could not wait to find the way out. The stone man sneered at Philip’s reaction. “Do you want to leave? Forget it. Maybe I can destroy the barrier and take you out if my strength improves, but I can’t do it at my current level. “My initial plan was to kill all of you and level up. By that time, all your flesh and blood will be part of me, so me leaving is the same as you leaving.” Philip frowned when he heard about the barrier. He closed his eyes and observed his surroundings. Sure enough, something was blocking his senses. The stone man noticed Philip’s reaction. He smiled smugly as if he had Philip in his grasp. The stone man always felt that Philip was a force to be reckoned with. On top of that, Philip was very smart. He had to know some secrets that he did n
Philip could not read their minds, but he was not interested in their opinions anyway. After all, they were nothing in his eyes. “Philip, you’re finally back. Where did that guy take you? Were you trapped in some secret realm?” When Philip appeared, Aslan approached him and handed some roasted meat to him. Aslan did many things in the last six hours, including grilling several rounds of meat. Philip took the food and glanced at Aslan. “I found a good training ground, and all of you can’t escape from that place. Get ready to be tortured.” He smiled as he took a bite of meat. Only he and Rabbit knew how dangerous that place was. Although it was no big deal for Philip, it would be a nightmare for ordinary practitioners. Aslan patted his chest confidently, not afraid at all. “What matters is your safe return. As for us, we can do anything. That guy threatened to eat us if you didn’t return in six hours!” Aslan told Philip everything that happened while he was away, and some
Although Rabbit was afraid, he felt Philip’s anger. As creatures of flesh and blood, this scene was so shocking that anyone would want to tear the murderer into pieces. More importantly, the corpses looked similar to humans, so Philip empathized with them. Apart from the ears that looked different from humans, the rest were similar. Philip went up along the river and soon heard someone talking. He saw several burly guys chatting. Although they were of different races, he could understand what they were saying. “Where did you come from?” The burly guys looked at Philip in confusion. They thought they had killed everyone, but another one popped up. However, they quickly noticed the difference between Philip and those people. He was not one of them. “Did you kill all these people?” Philip did not answer the question but asked in puzzlement. These people reeked of blood. They were obviously the murderers, but Philip wanted to hear it from them. The guys laughed arrogantly
After getting rid of the crocodile, Philip jumped up and returned to the shore with Rabbit. Although he had been fighting in the water for a while, Philip was not wet at all—a stark contrast with Rabbit. “Philip, are your clothes waterproof? Maybe I should see if I can make my fur waterproof?” After he was back to safety, Rabbit started shooting his mouth off excitedly again. He never thought he could survive. Philip was expectant when he felt the sudden increase in his power. He dragged the crocodile ashore. He thought this creature was weird. It was not a monster beast and did not have a monster core. However, it was very powerful and could fight Philip with its body alone. The monster beasts he had seen in the past could spray fire or water, fly in the air, or burrow underground. In short, they had some abilities to a certain extent. However, the crocodile in front of him did not display any abilities. It was just like an ordinary crocodile in the zoo. Despite that, ev
When they arrived at the oasis, Philip found that it covered a large area. This place could be considered a large island that looked quite luxurious and extraordinary. “We can finally have a good rest.” Rabbit leaned against a big tree comfortably. He felt relaxed as soon as he entered the oasis, which was not so hot and had abundant water resources. “The environment is quite good, but I wonder if there’s any danger.” Philip looked around with satisfaction. Suddenly, an ugly monster rushed toward them, so fast that Rabbit could not react. Rabbit was very close to the water and was taken by the monster before he could react. Philip immediately gave chase. The monster bit Rabbit and plunged into the water. Philip reached out and grabbed the monster. He knew that Rabbit was useless in such cases. Rabbit would probably be dead if the weird monster took him away. “Philip, save me!” Rabbit spluttered in the water, bobbing up and down, feeling very scared. He regretted staying
“This may look very cruel, but it wouldn’t have happened if they hadn’t attacked us,” Rabbit said with a sigh. He knew that Philip would not have done this if the ants had not treated them as food. He knew Philip too well. He would avoid trouble as much as possible. Philip would not attack for no reason even if he had to take a detour. However, the ants’ killing intent was too strong. It was bad enough if Rabbit felt scared. He just wanted to cheer for Philip. “Philip, did you notice that this place is not a secret realm but more like a world?” Rabbit said doubtfully. At first, Rabbit thought that the stone man had teleported them to a terrible secret realm, but after some time, he felt a difference between this place and a secret realm. “Although we can find various natural environments in a secret realm, they're generally false and can't appear in front of us, but everything around us is real!” The monsters they usually encountered in a secret realm would attack their s
“Wait a minute. Do you think that the black energy is approaching us?” Moray stepped back in a panic and looked around in disbelief. Hearing that, everyone looked at their surroundings. Sure enough, the black energy was getting closer. Aslan estimated that it would take six hours for the black energy to trap everyone. Aslan was calm. All the people under Philip’s command did not find the black energy dangerous. Only the losers would find it dangerous. Now that Philip was trapped, it was useless for them to worry. Aslan took out some recliners from his space ring and asked everyone to wait quietly. “Now that we’re free, let’s prepare some food and drinks. Let's not get into trouble.” At Aslan’s order, everyone took action. They had nothing to worry about. The others stared at them in surprise and amazement. Now that danger was upon them, how could these people laugh and eat without worries? They did not take the stone man seriously at all. However, they could not do
