Eloise didn’t turn around, knowing it could only be Adrian. She pouted and snorted a few times before falling silent.Adrian smiled and said, “Would you like me to find you some entertainment? It seems like you’re quite bored.”Eloise replied, “You won’t let me go out, and being here feels like a prison. What kind of entertainment can I find here?”Adrian said, “Your mother gave specific instructions, and the letter was from you to me. Are you trying to go against her orders? Even if you did, I wouldn’t recommend it. That higher being needs someone like you to meet its needs.”“But I can’t just keep wasting time here, can I?” Eloise said, clearly unhappy with her current life, which revolved around eating, drinking, sleeping, and teasing mortals.Adrian responded, “With your temperament, finding enjoyment outside will be tough. Let me offer some advice: to find joy in anything, you first need to set a goal. Achieve it, and you’ll gain a sense of accomplishment. It’s through accomp
Eloise seemed to grasp the concept and secretly admired her father. Even though he was only at level-eight, his understanding surpassed hers, despite her being above level-nine.“So what should we do?” Eloise asked, eager to take action. Being here had made her feel quite frustrated.Adrian replied, “Don’t rush. I’m planning to diffuse the external aura essence into the Exile Realm. This means that the Exile Realm will be fixed in that cave. Since the aura essence inside is low, it will continuously diffuse in.”“But that’s too slow…” Eloise said, her voice trailing off. “The Exile Realm is so vast, and there’s nothing for me to do here, right?”Adrian smiled and said, “Silly girl, it is a slow process. The excitement for me is in the strategy of taking law fragments from that higher existence. I’ll keep searching for high-grade celestial veins outside and transplant them into the cave.”“As for you, you’re much more important to me. I need you to help plan for every aspect of the
As the amount of aura essence inside the Spirit Gathering Formations increased, they would eventually reach a peak where no more growth could occur. They would need more aura essence to attract more, but their efficiency would decrease.Adrian suggested, “What if we build a completely sealed space and direct all the Spirit Gathering Formations to one place, like underground, to unify and store the aura essence?”Eloise considered this suggestion for a while before responding, “This approach can indeed change things. You want to keep the aura essence completely within the Exile Realm?”“Yes,” Adrian confirmed. He aimed to maximize the amount of aura essence in the Exile Realm.“Then why not convert the aura essence into celestial plants?” Eloise proposed, smiling. “Celestial plants are natural Spirit Gathering Formations that absorb and store aura essence. By planting celestial plants in all the Spirit Gathering Formations, especially those highly receptive to aura essence, we can a
Could it be that generating the power of faith required an external force? Adrian recalled that when he had previously created the power of faith, it had been relatively effortless and without any special conditions.Feeling uncertain, Adrian decided to shift his focus to another task: exploring the nearby deep sea. He was not willing to stay on Lumia Isle indefinitely. He also sensed that Clyde was wary of him. Despite Clyde’s apparent gratitude, Adrian knew that once Clyde had the opportunity in three years, he would likely target him.However, Adrian needed to assist Clyde because he required a three-year buffer period himself. Establishing a well-developed celestial vein was very challenging, and Adrian needed to completely detach himself from human society.In other words, Adrian saw Lumia Isle as a temporary residence. He hoped to build his cave in international waters or even underwater to avoid detection by human immortals. Transplanting too many celestial veins could attract
Thus, every fifty, one hundred, one hundred fifty years, like clockwork, beast swarms would erupt. This pattern was beneficial for both humans and dark beasts.For humans, each great battle allowed them to kill dark beasts in bulk, leading to significant increases in strength. Many factions rose to prominence during these times. For example, Celesta Rain Island, which had been founded a thousand years ago, became stronger through multiple dark beast swarms. Strengthening a faction, especially one with inherited family power, was a rare achievement.Recently, there was a new rumor that an enormously large beast swarm would occur after one thousand years. The number of dark beasts, having accumulated over the years, would reach an unmanageable level, prompting an unprecedented swarm.Not long ago, after the firmament shattered, many dark beasts spontaneously formed swarms and began attacking the Southern Forest. Adrian had witnessed this firsthand, but recently this phenomenon had dis
Adrian found himself inexplicably dragged into the group of five. Now, he could only count himself unlucky. The saying "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" came to mind. Although he didn’t intend to show them any kindness, he had to admit that they needed each other as the supreme level-nine immortal they faced was a formidable foe.The tanned man chuckled and said, “Three hundred years ago, we were all one. This dark immortal is a remnant from the ancient past, a traitor to human immortals. We share a common enemy, don’t we?”Adrian remained silent. With a dark immortal in their midst, cooperation was essential. These immortals had long fallen from grace and some were even addicted to alchemy. After becoming dark immortals, they turned bloodthirsty and cruel, taking pride in their demonic nature. They had severed their limbs and, in extreme cases, replaced their organs with those of dark beasts, believing it to be the essence of gaining power. While this gave them temporary strength
In an instant, the six of them split up and headed in different directions. Adrian calculated that, due to the suppression of strength, the supreme level-nine immortal was ahead and that the Draco Veinergy algorithm seemed unstable.After deep thought, Adrian realized the deep sea was his only chance. The Draco Veinergy offered no hints about his fate, as if it were obscured. He had no choice but to flee deeper into the open sea, and it felt as though he was retracing his steps.Adrian and the others escaped from the narrow gap. Fortunately, the supreme level-nine immortal had positioned himself in the direction of leaving the open sea, so Adrian’s actions did not attract his attention.The open sea was a stronghold for dark immortals, so they weren’t worried that Adrian wouldn’t find his way deeper. After a brief hesitation, the supreme level-nine immortal decided to deal with the other five first.Adrian was being pursued by only one person. Fortunately, this pursuer wasn’t a sig
If Adrian were hit even once, he would certainly be gutted, but he wasn’t afraid of the sinister man. He mockingly said, “You’re a disgusting thing. You’re neither human nor beast.”“Hmph, such bravado. Luckily, dead men don’t feel disgust!”The sinister man’s hands twisted, and his claws began to glow. In an instant, his wolf arm grew twice as thick. Finally, he could grasp the celestial sword with his bare hands.Adrian struggled and shouted, “Fog Barrier!”He activated the fog barrier, obscuring the sinister man’s vision within a 1.6-kilometer radius. Adrian waited for this moment. Though every attack failed to injure the sinister man, Adrian noticed that the black mist around him was thinning with each strike. He provoked the dark immortal, who, driven by madness, sought to resolve the battle through brute force. While madness greatly increased a dark immortal's strength, it impaired their judgment.Like a rabid dog that only knew to bite and temporarily loses consciousness, t
