Philip frowned. What reason could it be? Bonnie continued, “You might be that person.” Philip was taken aback and asked in bewilderment, “Which person?” Byron said, “The one who can get the heritage and secrets of the ancient ruins of White Imperial City in the end. But you don't seem to want the heritage, because it looks like you can get something more important there. Or in other words, something better than the White Emperor's heritage.” Byron smiled gently and calmly as if this outcome would definitely come true. However, Philip shook his head with a chuckle and said, “I don’t think so. Do you really think the heritage of White Imperial City can be obtained so easily? What about those indomitable pseudo holy beings? Would they let me have it so easily? Besides, tens of thousands of people in White Imperial City will be competing for it.” Byron and Bonnie smiled but said no more. At this time, an old voice said, “It doesn't matter who gets it. We're not after the he
Zenith fell silent. Philip chuckled and said, “In that case, I agree to work with you, but I won’t tell you immediately after I get it. I’ll only do it once I leave the ruins and am safe. You also have to tell me what it is!” Old Shank smiled at Philip. “No problem. Even if I tell you, you can’t use it if you take it. It belongs to the Shank family.” Philip nodded. “That doesn’t matter.” Old Shank pondered silently before he sent a voice transmission to Philip. “Young man, it’s a very important chapter in the Energy Discerning Technique that has been passed down in the Shank family. Without this chapter, we won’t be able to carry on with the remaining practice. If you can return it to us, the Shank family will help you when you need it.” Philip fell silent. The most important chapter in the Shank family's Energy Discerning Technique. Philip had experienced that technique first-hand when it was displayed by Byron and Bonnie. If they could achieve greater heights in that
Old Shank was dumbfounded at Philip’s shameless remark but simply shook his head in silent agreement. Then, Old Shank looked at Zenith. “Let’s have a cup of tea.” Zenith smiled and nodded. “Let’s go.” The two vanished from the spot and reappeared high in the sky. A tea table appeared in the air with a cloud beneath it. Two stools made of clouds slowly took shape. Old Shank waved his hand gently, and a purple teapot steaming from the spout appeared on the tea table. Two cups stood next to the teapot. “I just got the teapot and tea leaves. Let's give them a try." Without further ado, Zenith sat down and took a sip of tea. After closing his eyes and savoring it carefully, he opened his eyes and looked at Old Shank in surprise. “Enlightenment tea? How did you get this?” Old Shank smiled, pointed downward, and said, “I found an enlightenment tea plant in this city. I got this teapot there too. I think the White Emperor used it before.” Zenith took another sip of the tea
Zenith looked at Old Shank and said gravely, “What’s going on? Tell me in detail.” Old Shank sighed., “My main responsibility in the Shank family is to monitor the fate of the Starfall Continent, so our family generally won't enter a power struggle. But some time ago, a weird feeling suddenly emerged. "If the Shank family doesn’t get involved in the turmoil this time, we might be completely wiped out. “If the Shank family gets involved, the Starfall Continent will undergo a drastic change, and the continent’s life force may be reduced. Some areas may even crumble into the oceans.” Old Shank was full of helplessness, while Zenith was filled with horror. When Old Shank said that he would take action against the Clarke family earlier, Zenith did not take him seriously at all because he knew that the Shank family could not do it. Based on Old Shank’s explanation now, however, the Shank family might take action against the Clarke family! Zenith gasped. “Are you serious?” Old
A huge ball of energy exploded above White Imperial City, forming a symbol of duality in the sky. Bright lights in the middle of the symbol dazzled everyone. The spots of light quickly formed a huge figure. The figure was dressed in white, looking aloof and elegant. He seemed surrounded by spots of energy lights. “When will the 3,000 great paths end? The tomb of death can bury the universe!” These words resounded like a tolling bell in all directions. Everyone looked at the figure with great reverence, and Philip was no exception. Bonnie said, “As expected of an eternal emperor. Before the nine royal families, the White Emperor was the only controller of the Starfall Continent. They only came into existence after his death. I suppose not many people know about this now.” There was a hint of admiration in Bonnie's voice, which Philip had never heard from Bonnie before. Philip did not comment. After all, he did not know much about the White Emperor, let alone admire him.
Some people started rushing to the gate excitedly. Some even attacked the people around them, trying to prevent others from entering. In the blink of an eye, four or five people were killed and fell to the ground. A figure fell from the clouds and said loudly, “Anyone who dares to make another move will be killed without mercy!” That announcement resounded over a hundred thousand miles. No one dared to make another move. They headed toward the gate obediently. The figure was about to return to the clouds when he saw an extremely fierce-looking exotic beast flying over from a distance. The beast felt extremely powerful, and every inhale formed a gust of white vapor that entered its nostrils. A serious look appeared on the figure’s face. Several people fell from the clouds and stared at the beast warily. Some people below saw the beast and froze in fear. The beast stopped and looked up at the old men expressionlessly. Philip finally saw the size of the beast. It had a s
After a brief silence, the beast said, “In that case, we accept.” The beast turned to the other beasts behind it and said, “You may enter now.” The beasts roared and looked at the humans tauntingly. Philip looked at them with chills in his eyes. These beasts would probably join forces with the beasts in the secret realm and cause trouble for them. “What a nuisance. It seems that we need to teach these guys a lesson after we enter the secret realm,” Bonnie muttered under her breath next to Philip. Philip said, “It’s okay. A few beasts can’t do much. The beasts inside are not that easy to get along with either. They must place great importance on the things inside White Imperial City too. This just makes the competition more challenging.” Byron chuckled and said, “You’re right about that. Competition is inevitable. Besides, talents can only grow through fighting, so we don’t have to worry about such things.” Bonnie flicked them a glance but could not be bothered to retort
Zenith shook his head and said, “If the beasts come out alive, the holy beings won’t take action, but we won’t stop the younger ones from sparring with each other. But if you guys don’t know what’s good for you, we’ll wipe out the entire beast clan before we go to war!” The snake beast in the distance paused briefly before it continued to fly forward, leaving a faint voice, “Fine!” The talents below sneered. As long as the other party agreed, they would not let the beasts off so easily in the secret realm. Even if they came out, they would definitely attack in groups and completely wipe out the beasts. Creatures of different species could never share the same mindset. They could not let the beasts leave alive or the humans would face another great enemy! The humans started to enter the secret realm. Very soon, only the most powerful talents were left. Philip, Byron, and Bonnie looked up at the gate solemnly. Byron exhaled, looked around, and said, “It's time for us to e
