Additionally, Adrian had already collected the seeds and roots beforehand. Although these celestial herbs were valuable, they were not irreplaceable; they could be obtained again, though it would take some time.Suddenly, Adrian had a brilliant idea for achieving victory. He stopped hesitating and disengaged from combat with Jac. He began to focus solely on gathering the celestial herbs and plants, treating Jac as if he were invisible or irrelevant.Jac was enraged by this.“What’s the meaning of this?1 We’re still fighting!” Jac shouted, furious at Adrian’s dismissive behavior. However, he had no choice but to continue attacking as he had no other means to deal with Adrian.Adrian used a strategy of advancing when Jac retreated and striking when Jac was exhausted. Jac felt a deep sense of helplessness and had to admit that he no longer had the strength to defeat Adrian.“Let’s talk,” Jac said suddenly, his tone now subdued rather than defiant.Adrian was pleased to gain more tim
“No,” Adrian said, “You and I are merely passing acquaintances. I’m using my own lifespan to help you with your fortune. Today, I have a feeling I should give you a reading.”“Then I’m all ears,” Jac replied mockingly, assuming this to be one of Adrian’s theatrics. He didn’t believe in such mystical nonsense.Adrian continued, “You’ve been intelligent since childhood and were greatly favored by your father. Unfortunately, you didn’t know much about your mother’s background until you learned about the status of the women on the island. Acutely feeling your lack of maternal love, this was when you first came to resent your father. You believed your mother was executed because of her status, but you dared not speak of it or ask.“Your only choice was to practice diligently, fighting beasts with a courage that defied death. While other children of your family were fearful, you attached beast limbs to yourself and risked death to transplant beast marrow, succeeding in making yourself the
Adrian followed a tributary upstream, intrigued by its course. Even he was affected by this tributary. At its end stood a man, who seemed to be at the very edge of this world’s existence. When Adrian saw the man, the entire line of fate seemed to be disrupted. The man sensed something was amiss, and with a brief exclamation, he vanished from sight.Adrian was deeply perplexed. Could this man be the world master? Why did he differ from the descriptions given by Eloise and the immortal world? As someone at the pinnacle of existence, there was no reason for him to conceal himself.‘Could there be multiple world masters?’ Adrian questioned silently, convinced of what he had seen. It was inconceivable that he could have fabricated it. The problem was the discrepancy between his observations and the descriptions in the immortal world. The only explanation was that there might be multiple world masters, or perhaps there was no world master at all.Adrian felt that the once-clear image befo
“But you, my friend, are an independent immortal. I could tell that you were extraordinary. After thinking for a while, I realized that you probably aren’t from another island and that there’s no family dispute between us. You won’t gain anything by killing me, and to be blunt, we dark immortals are low-quality immortals. We rarely gather spiritual energy or use spiritual artifacts, so we won’t bring you any wealth.“On the contrary, my survival could bring you the greatest benefit. In the maritime immortal region, you can’t escape the beasts. Beasts are fundamental to training, so I can offer you significant advantages.“Firstly, sea charts. The sea charts of the open sea have always been available, but who knows the South Sea like our family and us dark immortals? We live here, which gives us our advantages,” Jac concluded.Adrian nodded in agreement and gestured for him to continue.Jac smacked his lips, showing signs of severe thirst with his cracked lips. But Adrian pretended
The nine Human Domains depended on the Spirit Domain for their existence.Adrian realized his mistake and felt a bit embarrassed. As Jac slowly explained, Adrian began to fully understand the cause and effect in this world, as well as the chaos caused by several level-nine immortals under the Dark Sage.The structure of this world was actually very simple: nine Human Domains corresponded to one Spirit Domain. Theoretically, nine Spirit Domains would correspond to one Immortal Domain. When an immortal reached a certain level, they would ascend. However, there was currently no mention of other Spirit Domains.Daemonia, on the other hand, corresponded to the Spirit Domain but was much stronger because it theoretically corresponded to the Immortal Domain. It contained dark immortals whose power far surpassed that of the Spirit Domain. However, Daemonia was not as powerful as the Immortal Domain. Upon becoming a dark immortal, although they could stay in this realm, they ultimately had t
There were many issues in this world that couldn't be easily explained using Jac's views. Despite Adrian's jokes, he had a deep understanding of the relationship between aura essence, laws, and the power of faith. Many level-eight and level-nine immortals had not grasped these concepts, but Adrian found answers through the Exile Realm.If the Draco Veinergy was the greatest gift from the heavens, then the Exile Realm was the second best. Through the evolution of the Exile Realm, Adrian came to understand the world from the initial laws, thereby achieving supremacy. This was his confidence and unique advantage.Adrian also asked Jac about specific issues related to Daemonia and found out these dark immortals did not belong to Daemonia. In fact, dark immortals were divided into two types: beast immortals like them and daemon immortals. Since there was no Beast Domain, they would ascend to the Spirit Domain at the end of their training. Anyone in Daemonia could ascend as long as they co
While Adrian was pondering, he looked toward Jac and said, "It’s not impossible to just keep you here, but would you be willing to accept a slave mark?"Jac felt a bit despondent. For a dignified young master to be branded with a slave mark was a tremendous humiliation. It would give Adrian leverage over him.With the slave mark, Jac could return and ask his family's elders to kill Adrian. However, once his stubborn family members discovered he had been branded, it would spell the end of his career as an heir.In their family, there were nine heirs, and ultimately, one would be chosen as the family leader’s successor. None of them would willingly give up their position. If Jac did, many others would eagerly vie for his place—something Jac understood far better than Adrian.Adrian, looking at Jac earnestly, said, "Don’t be nervous. I won’t do anything to you. I might need your help in the future. Branding you with the slave mark doesn’t mean I’ll treat you like one."Jac's frown ea
Adrian waited quietly for the phenomena to be over. Soon, both the portrait and the meditation cushion vanished, leaving behind only an emerald slip. Adrian probed the emerald slip with his divine consciousness and discovered it contained a technique.The technique was called the “Dark Word Technique,” a long-lost divine consciousness technique divided into several parts. However, a significant portion was sealed, requiring Adrian to reach level-eight to access it. For now, he could only use two parts.The first part was Dark Word Technique: Pain. This technique taught the user to shape their divine consciousness into an invisible, cone shape to attack the enemy's divine consciousness, causing severe pain in the enemy’s head and enabling an effective offensive strike.Adrian had heard of such divine consciousness attack methods before. It was a crucial part of ancient techniques and something he had always yearned for. To his surprise, he obtained it today.Even though Adrian had n
