Philip was surprised that the lizard people had the leisure to decorate the cave. The cave looked so ordinary that Philip would not have suspected it was a hidey-hole if not for the intricate decoration. “The location of this cave is not that conspicuous, but these markings make it very eye-catching.” Philip sighed and smiled. However, Aslan did not agree. “Maybe the enemy specially set this trap for you!” Aslan pondered. Philip was so infuriated by Aslan’s thoughtful look that he wanted to give this guy a good beating. “What’s the matter with you? Why did you suddenly act on your own? We agreed to pretend nothing was wrong, but you turned tail and ran away. You gave yourself away!” Philip admonished Aslan for ruining the plan. Now, the two of them could only go on the run and find a way to leave. “You should've at least waited until I figured out how to get out of this place!” Philip looked around worriedly, but his anger was reduced by half when he sensed no danger. H
“That’s impossible,” Archie said nervously. It would be awkward if the two young men really went to the forbidden area in the mountain at the back. No one thought that Philip and Aslan could survive. They simply felt sorry about losing their ‘food’.… Meanwhile, Philip entered the cave successfully. He was quite learned in the art of formations and sensed the overwhelming layouts as soon as he entered the cave. He wanted to enter the cave without destroying the formation, but on second thought, Aslan might do something out of the blue and ruin everything. More importantly, he could not care less about something that belonged to the village. Everyone in the village was a psycho, and Philip did not want to be associated with them at all. Aslan also sensed the formations inside, but he simply followed Philip without fear. “Philip, I feel this cave is quite deep.” Aslan looked around curiously. They had arrived at the place where the three elders received their heritage.
“Set this up at the cave entrance,” Philip ordered Aslan. He did not expect the villagers to come so quickly. He had destroyed all the formations in the cave. He had to set up his formation to prevent them from entering. Aslan carried out the order without hesitation. He was quite reliable at times like this. He rushed to the cave entrance with the charms and released the formations. After everything was done, Aslan stood at the entrance waiting for them. He was very familiar with the token given by Philip. They used the token to go in and out of the villa. The villagers rushed to the cave entrance and were surprised to see Aslan waiting for them smugly. Everyone scowled at the arrogant look on Aslan’s face. This cave was their forbidden land. No one was allowed to enter or exit at will. Their race could survive until this day and develop rapidly because of the powerful heritage given by the cave. Therefore, the villagers regarded this cave as the greatest existence that
As someone who had reached the periphery of the cave, Archie believed he could defeat Aslan easily. He knew that Aslan could not survive if he entered the cave either. The formations in the cave were extremely dangerous and could kill him easily. As Archie lunged forth, several others followed suit while the villagers stood at the cave entrance timidly. They were aware of their own strength and knew they might cause some unnecessary trouble if they entered the cave rashly. The people who had entered the cave confidently in the past had already been reduced to corpses. Some were even obliterated with not one speck left. The three elders quickly caught up and saw Aslan standing motionless as if waiting for their approach. “Keep coming if you can.” They hesitated at Aslan’s fearlessness. If Aslan took another step back, he would reach the point where they received the heritage. The three big holes marked the spot where they knelt for three days and nights before the heritage
Archie had obtained the heritage of the God of War, so it was shameful to be taken down so easily.Philip was not doing well either. He scowled as he held the stone tightly. He seemed to have changed something unknowingly. He picked up the stone and looked at it carefully. He saw the words 'Sealing Stone’ carved on it. Philip stood up slowly. He searched the table carefully to see if there was anything else. Before long, he saw some small writing behind the stone platform, which introduced the Sealing Stone. The Sealing Stone came from the sealed land, and it contained a terrifying world inside. When someone took control of the Sealing Stone, the sealed land would merge with the place where they lived. After seeing this introduction, Philip felt a chill running up his spine. He would not be so worried if it merged with the Guzo Continent. However, it would mean the end if it happened to the ancestral land. Thinking of this, Philip stopped wasting time and grabbed Aslan fro
“Philip, can I bring some people to pick up my family members?” Aslan said nervously. He had family among the lion monster beasts too.No one knew what would happen next. It was better for everyone to stay together. Philip nodded in agreement. “At this rate, I think we’ll fall in a week,” Philip frowned as he analyzed solemnly. Without further delay, Aslan rushed back to the villa and quickly informed everyone about it. Meanwhile, Philip patrolled the surroundings to observe the changes. For the time being, he could not sense anything wrong in the city area. Other practitioners felt the changes in the air. It did not occur to them that a crisis was looming. They just thought that their era was coming. The reclusive practice world had integrated with the secular practice world. The law of the jungle remained unchanged. Everyone felt the changes in the surroundings. Some were nervous while others mapped out their grand plans. The Stein family and the Zucker family had met
“We suffered heavy losses back then, and the stone used for sealing those creatures is more or less defective. We were forced to use some other methods to contain those troublemakers.” Everyone was solemn, especially Philip. The other party had been trapped in the sealed land for a century, giving them ample time to focus on practice. With their return, they'll definitely make a comeback with all they have and devour the ancestral land. Philip had no idea how many monsters were trapped in the sealed land. If the number was large enough, even he could do nothing no matter how powerful he was. Did he really have to give up everything and take his family and friends to hide on the Guzo Continent? Philip wanted to treat the Guzo Continent as his stronghold, not his safe house. “We’re here for a reason, little one,” Elijah said awkwardly. As a centenarian, he felt embarrassed to ask a young man for help. Elijah was quite young when he joined the war back then. He did not contr
“Is it okay for my clergy members to stay here for a few nights? I’ll take them to visit other forces next.” Elijah made his request. He did not plan to bring too many people with him. This operation would be very difficult, and people of the reclusive guilds might not be so cooperative. He did not want to let his people down. Philip did not refuse. It was no big deal for him. “Stay here in peace. We probably only have a week before the big day arrives. We have to come up with a plan within a week,” Philip said solemnly. Elijah nodded and said, “The biggest problem we have is that we don't have the sealing stone on hand. No one found any traces of it after its disappearance.” Without the sealing stone, they could not trap the extraterrestrial creatures completely no matter how good they were at laying formations. There was no point in temporarily trapping them for a short duration. This remark caught Philip's attention, and he smiled. Philip took out a stone from his po
“Philip's strength mostly comes from his very powerful pet rabbit. Although it's a monster beast, it's a force to be reckoned with. It isn't something anyone can deal with,” Hogster said with lingering fear. He could not forget how Rabbit had beaten Alain to a pulp. “Yes, the rabbit is a force to be reckoned with. You'd better not mess with it for no reason. I really wonder where such a powerful monster beast came from.” Alain seemed very steadfast, but he was already having a mental meltdown. However, he did not want to embarrass himself in public, so he gritted his teeth and hung on. The hooded man looked at Alain and sneered inwardly. He took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to him. “Take this or I’m afraid you’ll collapse soon.” He could notice Alain’s condition at a glance and knew he would not last long. “Forget it. I won’t hide it from you. In fact, the rabbit inflicted all these injuries on me. I wouldn’t be in this miserable state if the rabbit weren’t that
Although the strength of the test subject had increased, he was not highly valued at all because his talent was not affected and did not meet the guild’s requirements. “Okay, you may leave now. Your strength has improved, so make sure to practice hard and don’t let us down,” Alain said grandly, sending the other party away. He knew that this person was nothing but a loser. The guild member who was the test subject had no idea how pathetic he was. Instead, he looked at Alain with excitement and gratitude. Hogster swallowed the potion without hesitation. He quickly felt the changes in his body as if he had become very powerful in just a few seconds. Hogster looked at the hooded man in surprise. He never thought that he could become so strong. “Wow, this is amazing!” Hogster was shocked by this unexpected outcome. His lack of self-esteem was quickly replaced with brimming confidence, and he even had the urge to mess with Philip. In his opinion, Philip was nothing special. Now
“Don’t worry, I mean no harm. That thing is quite good.” The silly member took the potion nervously and looked at Alain expectantly. “Sir, I think I’m getting stronger!” The silly guy showed off his strength excitedly. Alain stepped forward and examined the guild member curiously. Sure enough, his strength had increased. Alain found the increase in strength quite incredible. Moreover, he did not find any side effects on the other party, which was the most surprising. This potion was amazing beyond anyone’s imagination! Alain was very excited and wished he could take it too. “I believe you should know the value of this potion. Just win the competition and stop worrying about the rest.” Alain and the hooded man stepped aside to discuss offering the boys and girls. Hogster was taken aback to hear them. The two quickly reached an agreement as they knew how unethical this transaction was. “Father, you actually agreed to his request! Aren't you afraid that it’ll be expose
By taking the potion, a person could increase their overall strength, and there would be no side effects. It was a miracle potion, indeed. Alain was stunned to hear that. He felt that the hooded man was bragging. How could there be such an amazing potion? “Are you serious? It can’t be that simple.” Alain took the potion from the other party and sized it up, wondering if he should trust this thing. “If you don't believe it, you can give it a try. I don’t mind. You have many people under your command anyway. You can choose to use them as a test subject.” The hooded man was quite cold and aloof in both his actions and speech. Alain nervously clenched the potion tightly. “In that case, I’ll give it a try. Let me find someone.” Alain did not fully trust the hooded man’s words. In his opinion, it was better to play it safe. Who knew if anything would happen? He was nervous about giving something like this to his precious son. At this time, a guild member who was not highly valu
“I won’t be joining your guild, but I don’t mind being a spectator. At least I can watch the fun. I know that you’re quite strong, so you don’t need me. As long as nothing unexpected happens, I don’t think you’ll face a problem.” Philip smiled indifferently, quite confident that nothing much would happen. The overall strength of the Celestial Palace had improved significantly, so they really had nothing to worry about. Jamie was relieved to hear that. In that case, he could rest assured.… The guild competition officially kicked off, and everyone was ready to battle it out. The battles were not something that simply required strength to resolve. Occasionally, the competitors required tactics too. As Alain was feeling anxious, his reinforcement finally arrived at the scene. The hooded man turned up with some potions, ready to carry out his task. “Hey, you’re finally here. I thought I wouldn’t see you again.” Alain was worried. He knew that he was in a precarious situati
“Father, what happened to you? Don’t scare me!” Hogster sat by Alain’s bedside and asked in a panic. Hogster would not have been worried about Alain in the past, but things were different now. They were facing various crises. Without his father to take care of things, they would be doomed. Alain coughed violently and fumbled around for some healing pills before stuffing them into his mouth. The pills were not useful for his injuries but could at least relieve his pain. After Alain took the pills, Hogster hugged him excitedly. “This is great! I thought you were about to drop dead.” Alain almost died in anger over his son’s remark. “Hogster, you have to take part in the competition on behalf of the guild. This is the best chance for you to become stronger. You’ll make a name for yourself if you do this.” Alain held Hogster's hand and placed all his hopes on him. Hearing that, Hogster said awkwardly, “Father, although I’m quite strong, you can’t do this to me! How am I suppose
The rabbit had a very expressive face as if it was watching Alain make a fool of himself. “You’re quite the smooth talker. If you have more words of encouragement, let’s hear them.” Hay dangled from Rabbit's mouth, and he seemed disdainful. Alain seemed conflicted at the sight of Rabbit and felt like he was looking at Philip instead. “Why are you here?” This rabbit was weird, and no one could control it. As far as Alain knew, the rabbit was famous in major cities and good at picking fights. “Of course, I’m here to teach you a lesson. Do you think I traveled this far to buy you a meal?” After saying this, Rabbit jumped up and kicked Alain, who started spitting mouthfuls of blood. Alain was strong in his own right, so there was no way he would be helpless against an attack. However, he simply could not resist Rabbit and could only suffer a beating. The guild members in the surroundings closed their eyes, feeling sorry for their guild leader. No one thought they could win th
It seemed that Alain had overestimated his importance. “Hey, wait a minute. Don't be so hasty. I just want to think about how to make things better. You should know that things are not as simple as you think. If I agree so easily, others might target me.” The hooded man sneered inwardly at Alain’s flattering appearance. He knew that Alain was probably trying to bargain with him. “I thought you wouldn’t consider it, but you seem quite willing to work with us.” The hooded man smiled calmly as if mocking Alain from the bottom of his heart. Although Alain was being ridiculed, he could not say a word. The hooded man held the reins, so Alain had no choice but to obey. “I don’t mind this cooperation, but we need to plan this thoroughly. If you can help my guild to make a comeback in this competition, I can agree to your condition. Since you found me, you should know the trouble my guild is facing right now. Philip and his people are messing with us, and the Celestial Palace is keepi
Alain was a smart man and quickly grasped the key point. It seemed that this man was here to help him. “Tell me what you want. Stop wasting my time. If you’re here to help me, let’s have an open discussion.” Alain was no longer nervous and stared at the other party calmly. Hearing that, the hooded man smiled smugly. “I know that your guild is facing a crisis. I can help you with that. I can get rid of all your problems and also ensure that your guild scores victory. Although I can't guarantee that you’ll win the championship, taking one of the top spots won’t be a problem.” The hooded man spoke calmly as if he was confident that Alain would agree. Sure enough, Alain was expectant to hear this man’s offer to help him. At a moment of crisis, it was every man for himself. Right now, no one was willing to help him or lend a helping hand. Alain thought that this was too much of a coincidence. “There’s no such thing as a free lunch. What do you want in return?” Alain knew that
