Everyone who left that place showed no vital signs as if something had taken away their lives. Moreover, all of them died horribly as if they had seen something very scary before they died. As a person in pursuit of the heavenly path, Steve had always been interested in the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour and yearned to visit that place. Over the years, however, he never found any traces of the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour no matter how much information he tried to collect. He was so disappointed that he was ready to give up by now. However, his interest was aroused again when he heard about the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour from Philip. “Are you saying you came from the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour? Are you a mysterious powerful being from that place?” Steve asked excitedly. Steve could not care less about being captured in Philip’s hands. He stared at Philip with expectation. If Philip was indeed from the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour, he would not mind begging Philip on his knees. It would be
They were at each other’s throats earlier but were on friendly terms the next second. This feeling was indescribable, indeed. “Tell me everything you know about the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour. I also want to know what everyone is saying about us behind our backs,” Philip said as he sipped his tea. Steve had no doubts about Philip by now and worshiped him as a god. Someone who could drink that tea and use that mysterious weapon could not be an ordinary person. Such things were valuable to ordinary people like them but nothing to Philip. All the signs proved that Philip was indeed an existence from the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour. “Legend has it that the place is elusive. No one knows where it'll appear next. Only a few lucky ones have the chance to enter it, but over the years, no one has ever returned alive! Because of that, no one knows what’s inside."We only know that the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour is very mysterious and should not be underestimated!” Steve told Philip everyt
Steve was excited by Philip’s words. Although Philip was reprimanding him, he revealed some details too. Philip would not give him anything this time because he had just offended Philip and lacked sincerity. Steve believed he could get something if he apologized with more sincerity next time. It was normal for a powerful person to have his pride. A humble being like him would not dare to say a word. “Yes, you’re right, it was my fault. I wouldn’t have disturbed you if I hadn't been deceived by a villain.” Steve was very humble and planned to deal with Camden when he returned. It would be best to expel this guy from the guild. They would not have decided to deal with Philip if Camden had not given them the wrong information. Steve was happy that Philip spared his life. It was best if he remained alive. It would be a blessing if he could ride on Philip’s coattails. “That’s enough. You may leave. Bring me more gifts when you visit me next time, preferably ones that can sat
“There’s this place called the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour. I don’t think you have heard of it before. Anyone who can survive there is the chosen successor of the heavenly path. “Every year, the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour will appear in a different location, taking people who have the chance to enter that place. They can only return alive once they're identified as successors. “Even if they don't return, they can thrive inside.” Steve explained smugly. This was the result of his investigation over the years. He expended a lot of effort to find this information and was quite certain that it was true. Becoming the successor to the heavenly path was everyone’s dream come true. Who would not want to take charge of the heavenly path that could dominate everything? “Some people were not strong enough to withstand the power of the heavenly path and were killed in the process. Countless corpses will be transported out every year, and the sight was horrendous. “More importantly, the se
Steve was unlikely to lie about this. Moreover, he had been severely humiliated earlier, so he had no reason to give up pursuit. Based on Steve’s character and temper, he should have gone all out to join forces with other guilds to seek revenge. However, reality proved otherwise. His actions spoke a million words. Although Steve was useless in practice, Ted had to give credit to his brain. “What should we do next? We've offended him quite badly this time. If we don’t prepare generous gifts to show our remorse, he’ll never forgive us.” Ted did not know what to do. He was a failure when it came to interpersonal relationships. “What else can we do? Kill Camden and Dwight and send their heads to Philip as an apology. We need to offer the treasures we've collected too!” Steve decided to go all out. After all, he had collected a lot of good things over the years. It was less embarrassing to offer these things, and they might catch Philip's eye. Ted scowled. He had collected man
Rusty smacked the table after saying that, ending the discussion. Seeing this scene, Ted waved his hand. “Hey, I don’t mean that. I want to tell you that I recently learned a secret…” Ted excitedly told Rusty about the secret he learned from Steve. Ted was all fired up at the thought of becoming a candidate for the heavenly path. The two quickly discussed it seriously. Rusty longed for it too. After all, no one would be uninterested in the so-called Heavenly Path’s Carrefour. Philip had no idea that the matter would turn out this way. He simply wanted to bluff Steve. That guy seemed silly and easy to deceive. Soon, Steve prepared a lot of treasures and went to Philip’s store again. He wanted to try his best to please Philip. These were the treasures that he obtained from various places with great difficulty over half his life. He felt the pinch at the thought of giving them away. Lyle saw Steve approaching with things in his hands from a distance and was surprised
Lyle knew that Steve’s sudden change of attitude was due to their strength. They would have been in deep trouble if they were just ordinary people. Therefore, Lyle did not take Steve seriously. He simply sighed and watched as Steve walked away. “This person is annoying and pathetic. There’s nothing wrong with pursuing strength, but his problem is being too arrogant and domineering.” Steve quickly found Philip. He knelt in front of him with a thud and a heartbroken expression on his face. Philip was puzzled by this scene and was weirded out by Steve’s dramatic gesture. However, he simply took a sip of tea and stared at Steve indifferently without a word. “Everything was my fault, so I sincerely want to apologize to you. I hope you can forgive me for what I did. Please accept these gifts as my apology!” Steve offered the gifts he prepared. He had given all his prized possessions to Philip. It would be heartbreaking if Philip refused to forgive him. “I see your sincerity.”
In a nutshell, Nimbus Mountain was an extremely dangerous place not accessible to ordinary practitioners. However, Philip was different. As the heavenly path’s successor, maybe he could go down the mountain to explore. Steve could take this opportunity to learn something about the foot of Nimbus Mountain. “Nimbus Mountain is a terrifying place that no one can reach. It’s rumored to contain various treasures, similar to the legendary Heavenly Path’s Carrefour. However, the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour is not open all the time. Unlucky people might end up dead after jumping off the cliff. “Since you’re connected to the heavenly path, maybe you can enter it?” Over the lengthy chat, Philip learned a lot about Nimbus Mountain and was curious about it. Since there was no way to jump off the cliff, maybe he could use a beast mount to fly down. Philip was excited at this idea. He finally found a clue to the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour. He had to take a look no matter what. Even if the
“You want the merfolk's pearl, but the fish creatures haven't given it to me yet. I don’t have it right now. Even if you defeat me, what’s the point? The fish creatures can run with it while you’re distracted. It’ll be a waste of time for you to fight me,” Philip said. He was really worried about Tom’s IQ. He could understand if he attacked Moby instead. “The thing is in Moby’s hand, but you want to attack me instead of dealing with him. Is it because you can't get the woman of your dreams?” Philip had a sharp tongue, and Tom trembled at his words. Philip dared to humiliate him like this. However, Philip had a point. He should deal with Moby instead. He was just annoyed that his beloved Marina liked Philip. Tom was infuriated by Philip’s words and attacked him. He had to kill Philip at all costs and show Marina the scene of Philip's defeat. The two were quickly engaged in a fight, and Tom moved fluidly in this disgusting swamp. Philip maintained a superior position and foug
“This is an agreement between me and Chief Moray. It’s not up to you.” After saying this, Tom took out a sharp dagger from his pocket. Philip thought Tom was going to attack him, but Tom used the dagger to cut himself instead, leaving everyone wondering what he was doing. After injuring himself, he took out a bottle of potion and poured it on the wound, which healed in a few seconds. Philip was surprised by the rapid recovery. The potion had to be a treasure. At this time, everyone realized that Tom's strength was increasing rapidly to the point of being daunting. Aslan stepped back cautiously, surprised by this unexpected turn. He had always been a fearless person, but he felt a sense of oppression from this weak person. It proved that the potion was powerful enough to pose a threat to him. Thinking of this, Aslan scowled and reached out for Philip, hoping that Philip could take care of it. After all, he and Lyle were equally strong. If he could not deal with Tom, Lyle
“Tom, if you can take care of this matter, I’ll give you Marina’s hand in marriage. I’m sure the two of you can work together to lead the merfolk to glory.” Everyone was shocked, including Tom, who was in disbelief. No one expected that Moray would ask Tom to marry Marina. Even the fish creatures were shocked. Although they were enemies, they knew that Marina was the merfolk's holy maiden. Tom had been protecting the holy maiden over the years, so he was a servant without a doubt. It was ironic to hear that a servant was worthy enough to marry the holy maiden. Marina was shocked and subconsciously glanced at Philip, who was indifferent about it. After all, it was the merfolk's affairs, nothing to do with him. Philip would not bother even if Marina had to marry an old man. “However, you must prove your ability before you can marry my daughter. If you get the item, I’ll hand her to you.” Moray had been seriously injured before this and could no longer fight normally. The merf
Philip took out a small bottle of elf water from his pocket and handed it to Moby. He wanted to see what the ugly creature would look like after taking the precious elf water. Moby was shocked to see Philip handing him some elf water and felt unworthy of it. At Philip’s insistence, he walked over and respectfully took the small bottle of elf water from Philip. He took a sip cautiously and wanted to marvel at its wonderful taste. Philip felt exasperated at Moby’s caution. Moby probably had no idea how Lyle and the others treated the water. They not only used it to bathe but also drank it casually like normal drinking water. Marina and the others watched with envy. They knew how precious the elf water was, so they were shocked by Philip’s generosity in giving it to the humble fish creatures. Even the merfolk found it difficult to get some elf water, but these lowly creatures got it. No one would be happy at this scene. Philip glanced at everyone. The other fish creatures st
Surprisingly, things turned out this way. However, Marina believed that Philip would not do things to the extreme. There had to be a reason for his actions. “Philip, you promised us first. Are you going to go back on your word and work with the fish creatures instead? They're up to no good. You’ll regret it if you work with them!” Tom was nervous, afraid that he had messed things up. It would be over if Philip decided not to help them anymore. He could already imagine how angry Moray would be. “I only promised to take care of the fish creatures. Now that they've surrendered to me, it’s the same as fulfilling my promise. Do you think otherwise? Now that it’s done, I have no obligation to help you any longer. That’s all I have to say.” Philip shook his head helplessly at the nervous Marina. He thought it was a pity. Marina was a nice person, but she was too young and innocent, full of unnecessary fantasies in her mind. Maybe things would not have turned out this way if she had
“I’m surrendering to the humans, not the merfolk. Who do you think you are?” The chief of the fish creatures knew that he stood a chance to survive if he surrendered to the humans, but they would be dead if they gave in to the merfolk. The merfolk hated their existence and could not wait to kill them. On the other hand, the humans did not have a big grudge against them. At most, he would allow Katie to stab them a few times. Moray scowled at his words and trembled with anger. “Fine, remember your words. You’ll pay the price for what you said today.” He turned away from the chief of the fish creatures' arrogant face and glanced at Philip instead. In his opinion, Philip should at least fulfill his promise. However, Philip paid no heed to him at all. “You should know what I want. I won’t take action if you hand it over of your own accord. Although you’re ugly, at least you never messed with me,” Philip said with a smile. The fish creatures could not refute the fact that they
Tom watched this scene smugly. His plan worked. Although he failed to get Katie’s agreement, he managed to sow discord between Marina and Philip. He could proceed with the next step. Marina was very upset now, so he had to seize the opportunity to intervene. Katie was the center of this fight. It was time for a battle to the death. Philip watched from the sidelines. He would only step forward to provide help when Katie needed it. Otherwise, he would simply keep an eye on her. He wanted to take the opportunity to train her as an ace up his sleeve. The fish creatures were fully prepared to fight Philip and the others, but they had no idea that they were so strong. They thought that the humans had ordinary bodies and could not resist their poison. The fish creatures' venom should be lethal for humans, making them unable to resist. However, these humans seemed indestructible. They had no way to deal with them no matter how hard they tried. “What’s up with these people's bodies?
Tom was counting on Philip to help them deal with the fish creatures. He thought that he could sit back and reap the benefits, but things were not as simple as imagined. Philip would not fall for it so easily. Philip glanced at Tom, disappointed by the eagerness in his eyes. He did not expect that the simple and honest young man would show such a side. At this time, Tom glanced at Katie. He wanted to take the opportunity to win Katie over to his side. “Katie, just look at the ugly side of these people. I begged Philip to bring you to this world back then, so I’m obligated to protect you. Philip is up to no good. I want to take responsibility for what I did back then,” Tom said righteously. Tom felt smug about it, but it was quickly replaced by tension and worry. Katie looked at Tom in confusion, thinking that maybe he was a little unhinged. “You didn’t beg Philip to take me in back then. I was the one who begged him to take me away. “If you hadn't fled to our fishing villag
Moray glanced at Philip with disdain and anger, blaming Philip for everything. He would not have suffered this humiliation if not for Philip. “No matter what, I’ll take care of you right now. Putting aside whether I’m working with humans or not, you’ll die as long as you can’t defeat me.” Moray put up a tough front, feeling annoyed about this. He was embarrassed because of Philip. He vowed to cut off all ties with Philip later and never let anyone know that they worked with humans. Aslan was annoyed by Moray’s unpleasant words. “What do you mean, old man? You behaved differently when you wanted to use us and changed your attitude after using us. Are you burning bridges now?” Aslan with his hot temper knew that the best way to deal with Moray was to condemn him. Moray scowled, surprised that someone dared to complain about him. “What do you mean? Do you think I'm a pushover? You used us to help you deal with the fish creatures, and you want to cut ties with us right after th
