"Then why are you undressing?" Lexie, puzzled by Adrian’s behavior, thought he was just making excuses. Despite the inconvenience of the wild environment, with nobody around and only the bright moon above, she would have relented if Adrian wanted it. Her confusion grew as Adrian undressed, only for him to suddenly recall, "Oh, right! I can just create a spiritual energy shield. No need to undress!" He had surprisingly retained the habit of undressing before entering water, even after many years away from Earth.Adrian quickly put his clothes back on, created a spiritual energy shield, and waded into the swamp, leaving the still bewildered Lexie behind.The humid environment of the swamp was rife with decaying organisms. Despite the shield protecting him from the muck, the odor was overwhelming, and Adrian had to endure it while sifting through the swamp.After searching through the top ten meters of the swamp, Adrian started searching the marsh’s deeper depths. The space below was
High-quality spiritual plants and herbs didn’t face this issue. They naturally possessed spirituality and were said to form by absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, giving them wisdom. These plants typically absorbed spiritual energy rather than emitting it.Once a spiritual plant or herb evolved into a spirit, it gained infinite possibilities. Like humans, they could continue to train and eventually become immortals. However, reaching this stage was incredibly difficult.First, these spirits needed favorable conditions for birth; they weren’t common weeds after all. They were often rare spiritual materials, and such spiritual plants were usually unique, making reproduction difficult.Even if reproduction was possible, these spirits had to reside in remote areas. Otherwise, they would have been discovered and harvested by humans long ago. The birthplaces of these spirits were highly selective.Lastly, nearby dark beasts played a crucial role. Most dark beasts had strong sensor
The words of the seven sages, including Dark Sage, led Adrian to completely misjudge the situation of this world, believing that an incredibly terrifying existence lay beyond. It now seemed that Dark Sage and the others had either lied or had been deceived themselves.The motives behind those who deceived them were worth considering. Adrian and Lexie investigated this issue. However, as the youngest among the seven sages, Lexie was not well-versed in the knowledge Dark Sage shared, which was supposedly passed down through generations within a faction.Given Dark Sage's status, there seemed to be no reason for him to deceive Adrian. Moreover, his promise to leave this world in twenty years didn’t seem like a lie. This had troubled Adrian for quite some time.Since this tradition had only begun in recent times, it suggested that someone did not want the people of this world to leave—or more specifically, did not want level-nine immortals to leave. If they believed the outside was Daem
Dark beasts could fall into a deep slumber, with some even needing to hibernate during the winter. However, they were very sensitive to external sounds and temperatures and would wake up if an immortal approached. Spirits, on the other hand, either didn’t wake up at all or were in a deep sleep.Suddenly, Lexie saw a person appear in front of her. She gasped in shock, “Ahhhh! Who are you? Why are you here? Which family is this little girl from?”Adrian smiled and said, “That should be a spirit. If you don’t believe me, try sensing her. She has no spiritual energy fluctuations. Even if she passed right in front of you, you probably wouldn’t notice, thinking it was just some unknown wild beast.”“Well, that’s true. No spiritual energy fluctuations mean no threat to immortals, right? If there’s no threat, why bother being on guard? Who would pay attention to it? And now this little thing has seen us both naked!” Lexie said, blushing with embarrassment.“It’s all your fault! It’s all yo
Adrian smiled and said, “Of course not. We were just stretching and exercising. I didn’t realize you were watching us.”“I see, but wait!” The Soulnascent Tree, which had just started trusting Adrian, became wary again.“What’s the matter?” Adrian asked, puzzled by the sudden shift in the Soulnascent Tree’s demeanor. He scanned the swamp with his divine consciousness but found nothing unusual. Even if there were an enemy, the Soulnascent Tree should have detected it only after him.“You’re not just here for a casual visit,” the Soulnascent Tree observed. “An old man came here once and was tricked away by one of my companions. I can sense the Snake Vine on you. Clearly, you came prepared.”Adrian laughed and said, “If I were here to capture you, you’d already be in trouble. Capturing you would be easy for me. Besides, what would be the point? Free drinks and food for life?”“Free drinks and food? Don’t be absurd. Even if you’re prepared, you still can’t capture me. Can you explain
Adrian realized he hadn’t shared enough with Lexie. After finding the Soulnascent Tree, the immediate plan was to leave Mythria and head to the Spirit Domain. Since the Soulnascent Tree came from the Spirit Domain, it should have a way to return there.Finding the Spirit Domain in the endless void required specific coordinates. Even if Adrian had those coordinates, he lacked the ability to traverse the void. The future for human immortals in this world was uncertain, or worse, a dead end. Staying here would be suicidal.Thus, the Soulnascent Tree was their only chance. While the Soulnascent Fruit was known to come from the Spirit Domain through spatial rifts, Adrian suspected there was more to it.Why was it only the Soulnascent Fruit that could come here? There were few rumors about other rare treasures, suggesting that the Soulnascent Fruit had unique attributes. Now that Adrian saw the Soulnascent Tree could cross worlds, it seemed this wasn’t a coincidence.The fact that the So
“Of course, there is a Celestial Domain!” Soulnascent said. “However, in the Spirit Domain, I haven’t heard of any great being breaking through to the Celestial Domain in a long time. It might be due to an issue with the Ascension Platform or changes in the laws of the Spirit Domain.”“What are celestials like?” Adrian asked, eyes gleaming with curiosity as if seeing Soulnascent as a treasure trove.Soulnascent shivered slightly under his intense gaze. Adrian did indeed think this way. Although Soulnascent seemed small, she was old and her existence as a spirit was a rare phenomenon. Some exceptionally fortunate spiritual herbs had attracted great beings who gathered around them, leading to spirits with combined strengths that even humans dared not underestimate.Soulnascent seemed all-knowing and omnipotent in Adrian’s eyes. The spatial laws she described were unknown to Adrian, but he confirmed their truth with the Draco Veinergy.After pondering for a long time, Soulnascent caut
”When an immortal masters the laws of two-dimensional space, they can open a spatial gate, enter the void, and find a weak point in another location’s space. By piercing through it, they achieve teleportation by ripping through space.“But when an immortal becomes a celestial, their understanding of spatial laws far surpasses that of us mere mortals. When they open a spatial gate, they instantly arrive at their destination.“To put it simply, when an immortal uses a spatial gate for teleportation, they disregard distance and spatial weaknesses. It’s as if they directly link the two places, folding space and making it overlap, allowing for instantaneous movement.”After Soulnascent’s lengthy explanation, Adrian and Lexie finally grasped the terrifying power of celestials. Not only did they possess telepathy, but their mastery of spatial laws reached an extraordinary level.Seeing their stunned expressions, Soulnascent was delighted.However, Adrian wasn’t satisfied. Seizing the opp
