"Hehe." The man chuckled. "There have been quite a few daemon attacks recently. How about joining us? If you join us, it'll be easier for you to handle those daemons too."Adrian waved dismissively. His pause earlier had been purely out of courtesy and curiosity about these peoples’ intentions. If they were merely asking for directions, that would be fine, but if they harbored malicious intentions, Adrian would not mind teaching them a lesson."Are you sure about this?" the man asked. His hand subtly moved, and the other four men approached with smirks.Pretending ignorance, Adrian asked, "Have I done something that upset you? If so, I'm willing to offer an apology. How about it?"The man was taken aback for a moment, and a sly-looking man with a treacherous face interjected, "Sir, don't waste time talking to him. Let's take him down, and everything will be ours.""Aren't you afraid that I'm an apprentice of a major faction?" Adrian asked coldly."Hmph, if you weren't from a majo
Adrian not only established connections through offerings in the Southern Forest but also garnered a considerable number of followers in the South Sea. This allowed him to wield the power of faith in this region for the first time.After discovering that the power of faith was merely the fusion of basic laws, Adrian understood how to use it and how to communicate with it. Those five who intended to rob him had actually fallen into his trap. With his escape techniques, they would not be able to catch him. However, Adrian could not resist the urge to use the power of faith once he figured out how to harness it.He focused the power of faith on his right index finger. Though it was just a single drop, it was filled with unstable, destructive energy. The elements of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder swirled within it.Guided by Adrian's consciousness, the white power of faith swiftly moved toward the five men. The blinding white light eventually turned into a rainbow li
Even though Adrian had reached level nine, he sat amidst the residual fluctuations of the power of faith. Furthermore, the way he addressed her further convinced Eloise that Adrian indeed was a level nine immortal.Eloise's thoughts were in turmoil, and she slowly teared up."Do you know that she missed you very much?" she said."Who?" Adrian was confused. He did not understand why this young lady erupted in such a rage upon arriving here, and after all that fuss, started speaking nonsensically. "Have we met before?" he asked."No, we haven't,” Eloise answered, "But I see you’ve reached level nine. Why didn’t you find us? Why? Why did you abandon us? Mother kept waiting for you."Adrian realized that the young woman in front of him must have mistaken him for someone else. "You’ve got the wrong person. I'm sorry, but I must leave now,” he said and turned to leave.Seeing Adrian so cold-hearted, Eloise said, "Go ahead. Mother has passed away. Before she left, she made me promise
Eloise asked, "Are you really at level nine? And what about that senior from earlier?" She sensed Adrian's level and realized that he was not lying. It was just that she had been too emotional to notice earlier.Adrian smiled and said, "Which senior are you referring to? Do you mean this?" He revealed a drop of white faith power in his hand, and its pressure made Eloise sweat. "What is this?" she asked."This is the power of faith. It's a type of power," Adrian replied.Eloise was taken aback. "What is the power of faith?" "It's the fusion of various elemental laws. This drop of faith power is a combination of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder law fragments. That's why you sensed it as level nine power yet found it familiar.""But I'm only at the Aqua Root Stage. How could I have obtained faith power?" Eloise asked skeptically.If what Adrian said was true, then reaching beyond level nine seemed impossible. Most cultivators had a single root stage, and tho
"Water Sage was impressed by your mother's special constitution and accepted her as an apprentice. As for me, I was left on the South Sea due to your mother's plea. Water Sage deemed it the safest place from daemonic invasion, which turned out to be true. Soon after I arrived on the island, Daemonia invaded. Daemons and monsters came. All the large islands and medium-sized islands were destroyed. No one escaped unscathed."I foresaw that the seven major factions of the Central Lands would come to the aid of the maritime immortal region. However, I also perceived the cunning of Daemonia. Thus, I devised a plan to lure the land sages of the seven major factions to my side."This was partly due to your mother's help and my divination skills, but most importantly, the seven land sages found me. My divination skills are unparalleled, and I helped them predict the death of Dark Sage and the path of the daemon invasion."Ultimately, the land sages decided to leave on an Immortal Ark. Durin
“Protection?” Adrian sneered. “I can't fully fathom the intentions of that entity, but I can guess a few things.”“That entity?” Eloise grew even more confused. She could not tell how much of her father's story was true or false, and now another mysterious figure had been added to the mix.‘Has he gone mad from being trapped for a thousand years?’ she thought.Adrian gave Eloise a playful flick on the forehead and said, “Don't speak ill of your father.” Startled and in pain, Eloise asked, “How did you know what I was thinking?”Adrian smiled. “The Exile Realm is my lifebound spiritual artifact. It's powered by the Draco Veinergy. Not only can I read your thoughts, but I can also predict your future decades from now.”Adrian's smug expression made Eloise feel both amused and exasperated. Did this mean she could not think at all?“You can think whatever you want,” Adrian teased, finding Eloise quite interesting. It seemed Rozi had raised her well. At least she was optimistic and
"You’ve got some insight, little girl, but you're still a little off the mark," Adrian said playfully.Annoyed, Eloise replied, "What do you mean by that, old man?""We need to start with the levels," Adrian began to explain, "Do you know how many levels there are?""Even a three-year-old knows the answer to that. It's Body Trainer, Foundation, Golden Core, Level Eight, Integration, and then Void Abyss. Beyond that, who knows," Eloise rattled off, finding the question childish and almost laughable.Adrian chuckled and said, "Yes, that's correct, and level seven is a dividing line. I lived with a level nine immortal for two hundred years and naturally have a different understanding.""Hmph, a level nine immortal? She’s probably my stepmother, right?" Eloise said with an apprehensive look, clearly skeptical of this Water Sage Adrian had brought up over and over again.Adrian cleared his throat and quickly steered the conversation back to levels. "Below level seven, you practice spi
“But...""Spit it out already.”"But I have my methods.""And what methods are these?""I have the Draco Veinergy. As long as I have enough life in me, I can seal away all the bad karma. If that doesn't work, I transfer this karma. At a certain level, these things are possible."Hearing this, Eloise felt relieved. She then said, "We've talked so long, yet you still haven't explained why the level nine immortals disappeared. Besides, there are still seven land sages alive right now.""Silly girl. The reason level nine immortals disappear is because they pose a threat to that entity.""A threat?""Yes, a threat. Because of faith power, that entity began to worry about them. Although level nine immortals can bring him more law fragments, they would have a chance to contend against him once they mastered faith power. The law fragments in this Exile Realm can be used for attacks and one fragment is consumed per attack. This is why level eight immortals can live well, while level nin
