Soulnascent raised an eyebrow and smirked before continuing, "The Middle Ages was the peak period for divine consciousness techniques, whether in the Spirit Domain or your lower domains. But over time, that boom gradually declined. Do you know why?""Just say it if you’re going to or don’t say anything at all. Really, you’re asking questions you already know the answer to. Hmph!" Lexie shot a sideways glance at Soulnascent, clearly annoyed."Hehe, well, I did say you were ignorant. I forgot to mention that. But never mind, this isn’t something immortals from your lower domains could answer." Soulnascent laughed lightly."Still keeping secrets? Are you going to tell me or not?" Lexie’s short temper flared up, unable to tolerate Soulnascent’s repeated teasing. She grabbed Soulnascent’s ear and even considered giving her a swat if she didn’t comply."Ow, ow! Okay, okay! I'll tell you!" Soulnascent, highly perceptive due to her divine consciousness training, winced in pain from the ear
This explained why Soulnascent had been so eager for Lexie to speak well of her in front of Adrian in the future. The Exile Realm alone had made Adrian a figure of great interest to Soulnascent, prompting her to seriously consider their relationship.In the Spirit Domain, small worlds that managed to survive were incredibly rare. For a small world to come into existence, it first needed to separate from a larger world for various reasons. This often required specific opportunities, such as collisions between planes that caused these worlds to break off and be discovered.However, discovery alone wasn’t enough. The discoverer had to be powerful enough to utilize the world and successfully seal it within a vessel. This vessel was a general term for various special spiritual artifacts. Meeting both of these conditions had already been quite rare.But there was also a final, crucial condition—whether the world could sustain life.Some small worlds were barren, with extremely harsh envi
Although Adrian was in the early stages of his breakthrough, he was fully aware of the profound changes that came with achieving the Nascent Stage. From now on, he would no longer train his spiritual energy but instead follow a path reminiscent of the Middle Ages.If Adrian had another chance, he wouldn’t have any regrets. The path he chose now aligned with the Draco Veinergy, making spiritual energy more of a hindrance than a benefit to his destiny. Having already broken through to the Nascent Stage, his power had undergone a tremendous transformation. However, he had not yet fully mastered this new power, and anything within a three-meter radius of him was affected by his divine consciousness. Even the mist was not exempt. Viewed from above, the pure white world around him looked like a black spot, almost as if it were a vacuum where the mist couldn’t approach.To Lexie, Adrian’s gaze seemed deeper than before. Every brief glance he gave her left her feeling dizzy as if caught in a
Although Adrian had entered the Nascent Stage, he remained cautious in this pure white world and didn’t act recklessly. He was also unsure if there were any unknown beasts nearby, so he proceeded on foot.After some difficulty, he finally reached the sunken basin surrounded with red, loose soil. His feet sank into the ground, and after frowning slightly, he summoned his divine consciousness to instantly shake the dirt off his boots.Suddenly, Adrian noticed a skeleton nearby and leaped toward it. The flesh of the deceased had long since rotted away, making the person unrecognizable.Adrian used his divine consciousness as an invisible hand to gently brush the soil off the skeleton until it was completely excavated. He found that deep within the skull of the corpse was the source of the persistent “leave,” and he smirked and shook his head.Adrian had changed significantly. His divine consciousness, now at the Nascent Stage, meant he had Nascent Stage strength. He withstood the powe
After all that hard work, Adrian received some valuable information, an unknown training method, and a boost in his level. The latter two excited him, while the first nearly made him laugh out loud. The memory fusion, formed under unique conditions by combining divine consciousness and a nascent soul, naturally led to a growth in Adrian's level after he absorbed it. The unknown training method was particularly intriguing. It was related to the training of divine consciousness, which Adrian had previously started with the Draco Veinergy but was far from mastering. This new method provided a fast-track approach to enhancing divine consciousness. It was much quicker than using pills or medicines as it involved directly absorbing the divine consciousness of others.However, this method came with significant drawbacks. It quickly strengthened one's own consciousness at the expense of others, and had a distinct flavor of dark immortals. This process could also lead to the assimilation of
The immortal in question was named Gallahan Rudgar. His family had always been shrouded in mystery, renowned for their expertise in stealth techniques, particularly their breath-concealing method. Their thriving business of selling Breath-Concealing Pills added to their reputation. Thus, when an immortal of the same level managed to see through their presence, Gallahan was both incredulous and slightly enraged.Adrian cast a perplexed glance at Gallahan but remained silent. He calmly placed his hands in front of his chest and closed his eyes, ignoring Gallahan. The other immortals exchanged puzzled looks. Some remained expressionless, others narrowed their eyes, and the expression on one of them turned dark.With a sarcastic smile, Gallahan said, “Are you drunk or do you just look down on the five of us? You’d better give me an explanation or you’ll regret it!” His eyes flashed with malice. He closed them and retreated back to the group, aligning himself silently with the other four.
"Since you're being direct, I'll be the same. I'm Freya Simone from a small, unremarkable faction. You're probably wondering why we're here. Let me explain everything."Adrian was surprised by this woman’s bluntness. He nodded, stepped aside, and sat down cross-legged with his eyes slowly closing, signaling that he was ready to listen.Once Adrian was settled, Freya began, "Thirty years ago, I discovered an ancient scroll. It took me ten years to uncover its secrets."Freya glanced at Adrian, noticed he was still, and continued, "The scroll revealed that the Human Domain isn’t just one continent. There's another thriving immortal region across the vast ocean, but the distance has made interaction, even communication, impossible. But have people from that continent ever come to Mythria?"Adrian asked cautiously, "Is this true?"Freya widened her eyes and replied, "Why would I lie? Of course, it’s true." Her flirtatious demeanor made Adrian’s heart race, so he quickly closed his eye
Recognizing the quality of Adrian’s weapon, Gallahan sneered. "You’re gonna use such a trashy weapon?"Gallahan then drew his own weapon and flaunted it, unaware that Adrian was already focused on it. Adrian shot a cold glance at the other four, warning them not to interfere. The others, recognizing Adrian’s formidable presence and having no strong ties to Gallahan, chose to remain neutral.With a sense of relief, Adrian confidently pulled out a charm and slapped it onto himself to significantly boost his defense. The charm was specially treated and engraved with formations, creating a micro-formation that enhanced both offensive and defensive abilities.Some immortals even inscribed attack formations directly onto charms, but Adrian chose a defensive one. Given the inferiority of his weapon compared to Gallahan’s, the micro defense formation would provide a crucial margin for error, helping him withstand fatal strikes.Gallahan’s weapon, also a sword, was sharp enough to slice thr
