Chapter 3787

Author: Celestial Clouds
In most cases, immortals in the Southern Forest would not make appearances. To mortals there, immortals were enigmatic beings who seemed to appear and disappear at will. When an immortal did appear, mortals often believed it was a deity visiting from the heavens.

In contrast, the maritime immortal regions were quite different. Adrian observed that in the scattered towns within the sea, immortals and mortals lived side by side. Some mortals even worked for immortals as guides or managed island-wide formations themselves.

This surprised Adrian, as such a situation would be unthinkable in the Southern Forest. Even though mortals lacked spiritual energy, they could follow instructions to place essence stones according to formation patterns after being taught a few steps. While these formations might not deter beasts, they were effective against natural disasters. For instance, during a tsunami, Adrian believed that without these formations, mortals would likely perish.

    Milo continued, “However, because the island only has a micro celestial vein, many level-eight immortals are unwilling to come here. The larger land area means greater formation consumption—about thirty low-grade essence stones are needed each year to maintain the formations.”Adrian nodded and asked, “Is there anything else special about the island?”Milo thought for a moment before shaking his head and saying, “That’s all for now. Sir, where will your cave dwelling be located? If it’s within the mountains, it would be ideal. We mortals currently reside in the plains and wouldn’t need to relocate.”Adrian’s cave dwelling would naturally be located at the spirit spring, which coincided with the micro celestial vein. The mortals were fortunate as his cave dwelling was situated among one of the three mountains.Adrian, wanting to maintain an air of aloofness, replied, “How can I disclose my residence to you? I command mortals not to approach these three mountains. Those who do will f

    Adrian arrived at the halfway point of a mountain and stopped. There, thick weeds concealed a small mountain stream that, when cleared, revealed a waterfall-like flow of aura essence. Approaching within about six meters, he could feel the richness of the spiritual energy provided by the high-grade celestial vein.Determining how to establish his cave dwelling in this exposed location posed a challenge. Adrian couldn’t afford to camp outdoors permanently, so he needed a discreet solution. After much contemplation, he devised a clever plan.He moved to the opposite side of the mountain to excavate his cave swelling. It took him half a day to set up the Locking Spirit Formation, which surrounded the mountain. Using the formation disc’s instructions, he efficiently arranged the formation flags.While the Locking Spirit Formation was primarily a defensive setup, its illusionary capabilities were notable. From a distance, the mountain peak appeared ordinary, without any signs of its hidde

    Adrian felt a surge of excitement. He wondered if there might be something valuable underground. Although he had stopped moving the bell stones above, and the undiluted spirit liquid could quickly restore his spiritual energy, he wasn't the type to exploit a situation recklessly.He descended underground, using his basic Profound Grade celestial weapon to clear a path. Soon, he encountered an amazing sight: a small waterfall spirit spring was still flowing through cracks in the rocks, its persistent drips having carved out a pool beneath the mountain. Seeing this naturally formed cave dwelling, Adrian regretted the effort he had put in earlier. He had discovered a gem with minimal effort.The cave was spacious and had become smooth and rich in aura essence due to the long-term evaporation of celestial water. This aura essence was even denser than that near the spirit spring's source. For thousands, or even tens of thousands, of years, the trapped aura essence had nourished the surrou

    If there was too much water, it would flood the farmlands, while too little would leave them parched. Adrian's approach was simply to regulate the water flow, ensuring a steady and consistent flow through the fields' channels. Consequently, the farmers eagerly assisted him in digging more channels. Some of them even volunteered to connect their wells.Seeing their initiative, Adrian became even more worked up and wholeheartedly addressed the issue of the waterfall. After ten days of effort, the three major mountains were completely transformed, with all rivers fully connected into one.With the aid of Adrian's magical water-pumping device, water flowed from outside the three mountains to their tops and merged with the waterfalls. The three major waterfalls then flowed into a reservoir. Once a certain volume was reached, the water was released from the reservoir. Seeing their fields covered with channels, the farmers cheered with joy. They were deeply grateful to Adrian. After all,

    "Is it the law?" Adrian mumbled to himself.After all, only through the transformation of laws could celestial veins be generated, allowing them to endlessly release spiritual energy and nurturing the veins and preventing them from drying up.The Exile Realm had not yet fully replenished its law power, so it could not automatically form spiritual veins. This was the explanation Adrian came up with after much contemplation. He had a reason for this. When his spiritual power reached its peak, it turned white. This somewhat coincided with the power of faith. The power of any of the seven laws ultimately became white faith power.Suddenly, Adrian thought of a principle on Earth that might explain everything. Laws, and the various attributes of laws, were absolutely ordered and distinct. Yet, everything tended toward entropy, becoming more disordered and chaotic. This increase in entropy was spontaneous. Therefore, once celestial veins were formed, the phenomenon of law fragments transfo

    It turned out there was another elder named Orice, who was at the early Nascent Soul Stage, and he worked covertly alongside Orlando. Both were Clyde’s father’s servants, and before his death, his father handed over both of their life cores to him."But after Father died, my other siblings refused to accept me," Clyde said.Celesta Rain Island was vast, spanning over a thousand miles. Although Clyde could occupy the most important island mountain, his siblings were not ordinary people and wouldn’t easily relinquish their gains. Each had occupied various celestial grounds on Celesta Rain Island, and although they outwardly obeyed him, inwardly, they defied him.The island became fragmented, both in terms of loyalty and power. Each heir had their own followers, and even with Orlando’s support, it did not mean Clyde commanded respect. Adrian had seen this clearly long ago, and unsurprisingly, this problem remained unsolved. Hence, Clyde thought of Adrian and came to seek his advice. Th

    Clyde felt satisfied with this plan at first but quickly grew distressed again. He said, "Mr. Adrian, while your method is effective, it's difficult for me to overcome the influence of my siblings in just three years. They have many loyal supporters."Adrian smiled and replied, "There's another tactic you can use—mislead them. Once you have organized things among your siblings, those without a leader will be a disorganized mob. They will be a fearful bunch. Use this to your advantage by summoning everyone under the pretense of a meeting called by the island leader. They won't dare disobey. Then, it will be the time to act.“If you resort to killing hastily, you'll only push people away. Instead, use this strategy to mislead them. Have a trusted aide bring a deer into the great hall and claim it's a horse. Observe how many people stay quiet. Those who remain silent are neutral and can be won over or promoted. Those who agree are likely your allies. As for those who argue, you can make

    “Oh!” Clyde exclaimed. “You’re mistaken, Mr. Adrian. From now on, this island is yours. It will no longer appear on Celesta Rain Island's sea charts. Although it has only a micro celestial vein, the spirit spring here is more than enough for your training. Plus, all the island's residents will be under your control. You can take on apprentices if you wish and even establish your own faction. Celesta Rain Island will oversee and assist you.”Clyde's offer carried a subtle threat, which Adrian clearly understood.Adrian, wary of establishing his own power, responded, “Lumia Isle only has a micro celestial vein. I’m not capable of forming a faction here. Besides, as a level-nine immortal, I lack the means to build a faction. I prefer to wander, with the sky as my blanket and the earth as my bed, fishing and training each day. That’s enough for me.” He smiled bitterly as he spoke.Seeing Adrian's genuine and straightforward demeanor, Clyde said nothing more. He pretended to be reluctant

Finnian stared into the crimson mist.Even Andy was horrified, his gaze locked on the unfolding scene in disbelief, and asked, "What is this? What exactly is happening?" At this moment, Adrian abruptly opened his eyes.Apparently, the Daemon Emperor had once conspired with Adrian's subordinates to ambush him.However, Adrian had managed to annihilate the traitors and sealed this Daemon Emperor.

    Adrian's face hardened at the words. He despised threats above all else. While he understood what the mysterious entity desired, he couldn't yet fully comprehend its implications or find a way to counter it. His only choice was to focus on growing stronger.Within the hot spring, waves of raw, terrifying power surged and crashed violently against Adrian's body.The force, though beneficial, was brutal and overwhelming. Adrian's body struggled to endure, cracking as though it were disintegrating."Arghhh!"A heart-wrenching scream echoed as Adrian's flesh was torn apart and his aura gradually dimmed."Ahhh!"His agonized cries echoed once more. He could no longer withstand the pain.In the distance, a towering figure appeared and sneered. "What's this? Can't take it anymore? Pathetic. Humans are truly the epitome of stupidity."Suddenly, Adrian erupted with an explosive surge of energy, and in that instant, he broke through to the pinnacle of the Void Stage."Hmm? He actually b

    At that moment, the crowd was speechless.Adrian had ascended as if it were the easiest thing in the world.Faced with such a sight, no one could say much beyond admiration. Even if the Holy Son claimed Adrian had cheated, many secretly wished they could cheat the same way.Lacking Adrian's means, all they could do was envy him.Finnian chuckled. "Haha! You really caught us all by surprise, kid. Still, I'll count this as you repaying me a favor."For Finnian, the outcome couldn't have been better. With a broad smile, he seemed to have achieved his desired result. Adrian's successful climb was all that mattered to him.Once Adrian had vanished, the focus shifted to the rest of the group and their trials.When Adrian opened his eyes again, his entire body ached, but an oddly comforting sensation flowed through him. Surveying his surroundings, he realized he was now in a pond."Where am I?" he asked.Though uncertain about the place, Adrian knew he had cleared the trial and arriv

    The onlookers stared in bewilderment, their faces etched with confusion as they struggled to grasp the unfolding events.Meanwhile, Adrian seethed with barely contained rage. This wasn't his first encounter with such torment. Every few steps he ascended, another trial awaited.To Adrian, the relentless punishments felt suffocating. Yet he pressed on—this was the final stretch of the climb. "Adrian, hang in there!" Andy shouted, urging him to conquer the last step. To Andy, reaching that final step symbolized Adrian's growth. He had witnessed Adrian's remarkable resilience countless times and held unwavering faith in his potential. In Andy's eyes, Adrian was destined for greatness. Adrian's expression turned cold as he locked his gaze on the steps ahead. Determination flickered in his eyes. "If reaching the top guarantees a reward, it doesn't have to be me up there. As long as someone makes it, that's enough." With that, he shifted his focus to the void above and formed

    Adrian felt as if every nerve in his body was beyond his control. A deep sense of grievance filled his heart as the divine thunder from the void relentlessly crashed down.Rage surged within him, but under the onslaught of endless forces, he felt weak and constrained.Still, he had no choice but to press forward. He knew victory was within reach if he could endure a little longer—giving up now would mean death.If he fell, the shame and humiliation would crush him.Below, the Holy Son and others waited, eager to see him fail and mock him. This left Adrian no option but to push forward, striving toward the void above and his ultimate goal.The violent forces continued to bombard him from the sky.With every step, the thunder's impact intensified tenfold. His soul, already battered from a fierce battle with a horde of beasts, now felt as though it was dragging his exhausted body forward.Anyone else would likely have succumbed to despair.

    The oppressive forces descending from the void seemed determined to halt Adrian’s ascent up the staircase.Yet he refused to yield. To him, these overwhelming challenges were merely obstacles to conquer.He pressed forward with relentless determination.Thunderbolts continued to rain down, but the ominous red light from before did not return—a relief, as he never wished to endure its crushing weight again.The memory of that light still haunted him, leaving a lingering sense of helplessness. Its suffocating pressure had drained his strength, reducing him to a gasping, powerless state.Despite the toll on his body and mind, Adrian remained singularly focused on reaching the final step. His burning desire for greater power drove him forward, unwavering and resolute.Step by step, he ascended, reaching the 95th step in what felt like an instant.Only five steps remained. His gaze locked onto the summit, and a wild glint lit his eyes. A daring idea sparked within him, consuming his

    Adrian pondered his situation, his cold gaze reflecting simmering frustration. Yet deep down, he recognized that whoever had designed the staircase was far from ordinary.Creating such a formidable trial required unimaginable power.Even a pinnacle Void Stage expert—or perhaps someone of the Multiply Stage—might bow in reverence before the ladder's creator."He won't last much longer. The divine lightning in this void is utterly destructive. In moments, he'll be reduced to ashes," sneered the Holy Son, his sharp eyes gleaming with malice.To the Holy Son, Adrian's demise was inevitable. Adrian had dared to offend him, and he was certain such audacity could only lead to death.Adrian caught the Holy Son's words and cast him a frosty glare. His intent to kill was unmistakable, though now wasn't the time.The staircase was no place for personal vendettas—eliminating him here would require careful planning.He also knew the Holy Son carried seals of immense power. A reckless move co

    Finnian's sharp gaze reflected a hint of admiration. "Kid, you owe me a big favor this time. You'd better treasure this opportunity."Adrian remained silent, unsure how to respond. His cold eyes revealed no emotion, though he fully grasped the challenges ahead.Fear was a luxury he couldn't afford—he'd come too far to back down now.Suddenly, a streak of red light surged from the void, hurtling toward Adrian with terrifying speed. His eyes widened in shock as the crimson beam struck him, slamming him against the staircase.Caught off guard, Adrian collapsed, sprawled helplessly on the steps.The crowd below watched in astonishment. No one had expected his seemingly indestructible body to be overwhelmed so easily.The Holy Son sneered. "Haha! It seems he's triggered some kind of taboo. Let's see how arrogant he is now!"His voice dripped with schadenfreude, his eyes gleaming with malicious satisfaction as he relished Adrian's struggle.Despite the crushing force, Adrian refused

    "What exactly is up there pulling me so strongly?" Adrian's expression hardened as he pondered the mysterious force drawing him upward.A surge of violent energy erupted across the sky, crashing down like a raging storm.Adrian advanced cautiously, each step deliberate and precise.Gone were the reckless strides of before—now he moved with steely determination, fully aware of the lurking dangers.He'd learned that the void's formidable forces seemed to target him directly, compelling him to proceed step by step. Any attempt to bypass its unseen barriers would provoke a devastating strike."Ridiculous," Adrian muttered. "If I've chosen to climb, nothing will stop me."The void's relentless power intensified.Bolts of thunder hammered down mercilessly, battering Adrian's body.
