In this world, Adrian had only Lexie and Eloise as his remaining loved ones. Since he did not originate from this world, he felt no true sense of belonging here and only wished to leave.After much contemplation, he established his purpose: to seek knowledge, protect his family, and go home.Adrian had no attachment to this world, but that didn’t mean he was ungrateful. He was thankful for all his experiences, harsh though they were. Though people here were more selfish and indifferent toward each other, it was still better than the mundane existence he had on Earth.He was incredibly curious about this world. Coming from Earth, he wondered if this world was like Earth—a spherical planet—or just a plane. He had yet to resolve this mystery.The laws of any world were universal. Earth had taken a technological path, which made Adrian wonder if there were immortals on Earth as well. He had heard of spiritualists before but didn’t know if they were real, so he yearned to find out.Not
Adrian wondered to himself, finding his thoughts increasingly sensible. How could it be? Enhancing consciousness without utilizing it… He had once overlooked this issue due to the extinction of the consciousness training path, or rather, he had inadvertently ignored it.Now, with a clear mind and guided by his Path Mindset, many previously unresolved issues were answered. He finally discerned the incompleteness of the Draco Veinergy.According to ancient teachings, training methods related to fate involved the soul and fate, known to be inseparable. Yet, the Draco Veinergy was lacking in offensive means. The Tri-Seals couldn’t be fully used for attack; even the third seal had consumed nine thousand years of Lexie’s lifespan.As Adrian increased his usage of the Draco Veinergy, he discovered defects in the third seal. Even when personally executed, it was affected by the enemy’s lifespan. If there was too much of a gap in lifespan, forced control could only lead to his own rapid diss
It was strange that they would send someone knowing Adrian could eliminate level-nine immortals. Unless this person had some special attributes, he was probably the young master that dark immortal had referred to.However, as Adrian descended deeper into the cave, he only guessed part of the truth. The person was indeed the young master, but he was not there to pursue Adrian. Instead, his target was actually the cave Adrian had coincidentally chosen to hide in.In Adrian’s perception, the young master was getting closer. Logically, he should have been inspecting the battlefield or following the traces Adrian had deliberately left behind. The young master’s actions left Adrian both amused and exasperated. Seeing the young master hadn’t even checked the battlefield, he realized the former’s visit had nothing to do with him.“Hmm?” Adrian wondered in surprise, sensing that the young master had also entered the cave. Fortunately, the cave was uneven and poorly lit. He decided to hide in
The young master failed to detect Adrian, who had already rushed ahead with excitement. Adrian found himself looking down on the young master again. Such pampered immortals seemed to lack any real sense of danger. Though he despised these spoiled elites, who often complained to their elders and were known for their cowardice, it didn’t mean they were weak in the face of real threats.Immortals born into factions or wealthy families often started with significant advantages. While independent immortals struggled to earn essence stones, these privileged youths were already acquiring spirit techniques and didn't need to worry about basic living expenses.While independent immortals worked hard to refine their spirit techniques, these young elites, dissatisfied with their current abilities, sought breakthroughs with celestial tools.Independent immortals faced tough choices at auctions, deciding whether to spend their hard-earned essence stones on techniques, celestial tools, or other i
The cave dwelling, though rather standard in taste with its furnishings and carvings reflecting an ancient style, was quite surprising. Who would have thought that a cave would contain such a residence?Adrian shook his head and observed the dust on the ground. As a long-abandoned dwelling, the layer of settled dust was significant. He followed the young master’s footprints while using a technique to keep himself afloat as to not leave traces. That way, he didn’t have to be afraid of being discovered by anyone coming from behind. If that level-eight immortal arrived and saw extra footprints on the ground, it would be obvious that another person was there, making Adrian’s escape impossible since this was a one-way passage with no exit.Adrian continued following the footprints until he reached a room where the tracks vanished. “Have I revealed some flaw and been discovered?” Adrian questioned himself, but it didn’t seem likely.How had that young master disappeared though? Adrian w
Adrian's actions had caused considerable damage; the room he had teleported from had collapsed. By the time the collapse occurred, Adrian had already moved to the other side of the cave dwelling. The new room he found was not much different in layout but was noticeably more luxurious.Adrian observed the room, noting its predominant pink decor, which struck him as more suited to a woman's boudoir than a typical male immortal's quarters.Entering the room, Adrian prepared for a potential confrontation. However, the young master of the dark immortals was not at the teleportation formation entrance. Disappointed, Adrian began to follow the traces left behind to search for him.The young master seemed efficient; he had headed straight to the training room. Many predecessors liked to place their inheritance in such rooms, which piqued Adrian's interest. While the beast familiar room and the celestial herb pavilion were also tempting, Adrian decided to follow the young master’s path.Adr
Adrian faced a dilemma about the transformation of matter and its impact on physical evolution. The daemons aimed to make their bodies as tough as celestial weapons, almost indestructible. This extreme physical strength made it very difficult for humans to destroy them, and it made them formidable opponents.Adrian’s view wasn’t unique; it highlighted the different philosophies of daemons and humans. Humans didn’t understand the daemons' weaker souls and their mastery of laws, while daemons couldn’t grasp why humans didn’t focus on developing their physical bodies.The debate between the two groups had been ongoing for years. From an outside perspective, neither side was entirely right or wrong. Humans, with their higher intelligence, focused on training their souls and mastering laws. In contrast, dark beasts, who grew up in harsh environments, relied on force and resource acquisition for survival. For them, physical training was the most practical approach.Meanwhile, Adrian was u
Illusion Formations blended reality and illusion, leaving people defenseless and eventually exhausting them to death. Jac furiously attacked the Illusion Formation, and though the method was ineffective, he managed to maintain some clarity and targeted the formation's weakest point.The Illusion Formation was close to collapsing. Jac alternated between kicking it, swiping with his claws, and ramming it with his back. His behavior made it hard to tell if he was human or beast.Dark beasts had innate talents, especially those with noble bloodlines, which allowed them to grow stronger over time. For example, a saber-toothed demonic tiger started as a level-one dark beast but could grow into a level-nine dark beast just by eating and sleeping, an ability humans could only envy. Humans lacked inherited memory, so even if dark immortals obtained dark beast limbs, they couldn’t gain the beast's legacy and remained inferior to real dark beasts.A dark beast's wisdom increased with their lev
