The dense and overwhelming aura essence in the residence created an intimidating atmosphere. Adrian and Tyron approached and knocked on the door.“Come in. I knew you two would come looking for me,” Bryn’s voice called from inside.Adrian and Tyron were slightly taken aback. “How did you know we were coming, sir? We didn’t mention anything to anyone. We just ran into a problem and thought to seek your counsel,” Adrian said respectfully.“You’ve just driven off Oscar, a daemon. The entire Universe Alliance is in an uproar because of you. How could I not know?” Bryn chuckled lightly. “Speak, what’s on your mind?” he asked candidly, fully aware of the commotion caused.Adrian, seeing no reason to withhold information, explained calmly, “Sir Bryn, we’ve discovered that Oscar hasn’t left yet. We suspect his intentions might be related to the Universe Alliance’s secret realm that is set to open in a few days.”Bryn’s brows furrowed at the mention of the secret realm. “That is indeed a t
Hearing this, Adrian frowned slightly. “It’s that dangerous? I imagine there will still be quite a few people willing to enter,” he said.Despite the risks, the allure of potential rewards often outweighed the danger. Many would be drawn to the ancient secret realm, seeking rare treasures that might outweigh the risk to their lives.“Sir, are there many treasures within the secret realm?” Adrian asked. Where there were treasures, there was always a chance worth taking. He wasn’t inclined to believe that luck would abandon him so soon, and with his skills and resources, he felt confident he could handle most challenges.Bryn was momentarily surprised, then smiled at Adrian. “There are indeed treasures, but you’ll need to survive to claim them. The ancient secret realm is highly perilous, so I advise you to think it through carefully.”He then added, “This time around, the realm is being opened in response to the daemons’ appearance. We hope to find any exceptional individuals who ca
Rescuing Purecastle might be challenging, but Adrian and Tyron’s coming to Universe Alliance would be for naught without mentioning it. Bryn looked at them with mild surprise. He had anticipated their purpose for coming here, and his expression grew serious as he listened to Adrian’s request. “I will report this matter to the leader of the Universe Alliance. I’ll give you an answer in three days. Since the secret realm will open in five days, it shouldn’t affect your entry,” he assured them.Adrian, disappointed by the outcome, nodded with resignation. “Thank you, sir. We’ll leave this matter to you.”Bryn’s expression showed a hint of helplessness. “I can’t make a decision on this, Adrian. Sending help isn’t as simple as deploying one or two individuals. If we send our experts, they might face ambushes from the enemy, which could create significant problems for the Universe Alliance. So, don’t get your hopes up too high.”Bryn’s warning was clear: if the leader of the Universe Al
Time seemed to drag on. After two days, Oscar had still not been captured. Despite intense search efforts, he seemed to have vanished completely, as if he had disappeared from the world. This left many people bewildered and frustrated. Oscar had managed to hide himself incredibly well.“Hmph! No matter how well you hide, I will find you!” Bryn’s expression was grim. As this incident occurred under his watch, he felt responsible for capturing Oscar.Despite the Universe Alliance’s barriers being closed off and impassable, Oscar had vanished. It was alarming how elusive he had become, especially since he had only recently appeared and had been defeated by Adrian.The search continued without success, and Adrian was troubled. Logically, Oscar should have been trapped within the Universe Alliance with no way to escape, yet he had disappeared without a trace. This situation was confusing.“Adrian, come to the main hall quickly. Deputy Leader Jermaine wishes to see you.” Bryn’s powerful
Although the request seemed to benefit him directly, Adrian still disliked this approach. “What exactly is this task you mentioned?” he asked, reluctantly. Despite his hesitation, he knew he had to make a decision. Purecastle needed his help, and its troubles could lead to disastrous consequences.Jermaine explained, “The task is both simple and complex. I need you to enter the secret realm and retrieve two items. Find the Phoenix Tree and retrieve from it a leaf and a stone from beneath it called the Prism Stone.”‘The Phoenix Tree?’ Adrian was puzzled, having never heard of it before. He didn’t know much about the Prism Stone either, only that it was extremely rare and valuable. He regarded Jermaine’s request as overly ambitious.“I’ll be straightforward with you. The most crucial item is the Prism Stone. The Phoenix Tree Leaf is a secondary requirement. Consider this carefully before you decide. The Prism Stone is deeply hidden and finding it will be extremely difficult,” Jermain
Upon hearing these words, Bryn’s expression became complex, and a sharp glint flashed through his eyes. “To become a true expert, one must endure trials that are almost like facing death. Otherwise, becoming strong will be difficult,” he said, though his eyes betrayed an expectant gleam.Jermaine smiled faintly. “Hahaha, you’re as cautious as ever in your words. But what you said is not wrong.”As the two discussed, Adrian remained unaware. Even if he knew the contents of their conversation, it wouldn’t bother him much. He had received similar praise before, but it meant little to him. Ultimately, relying on oneself was the best approach.Back at their lodgings, Adrian shared the situation with Tyron, who was immediately shocked. He stared at Adrian with wide eyes. “What? The Prism Stone? Mr. Adrian, you’re crazy!”Adrian was confused. “Why?”“The Prism Stone is an ancient miracle stone said to grow under the Phoenix Tree, absorbing the essence of nature. It’s rumored to contain i
Someone spotted a white warhorse descending from the sky in the distance. It seemed to soar through the air with thunderous power, and atop it rode a young man in white robes, exuding an overwhelming aura. The sight captured everyone's attention, causing their expressions to turn into ones of awe.“It’s Greg!”The crowd was astonished, not truly expecting Greg to appear.“He’s already broken through to the Nascent Stage and reached the Astral Stage!” an old man exclaimed.Others were equally shocked. The presence of such a prodigy made people widen their eyes in awe. Greg was an extraordinary genius, unmatched by ordinary individuals.The crowd’s expressions grew complicated. With such a prodigy among them, they felt they had little chance of competing for the treasures within the secret realm. The thought alone brought a pang of bitterness. Such a genius was truly intimidating.“Who do you think is stronger? Adrian or Greg?” Suddenly, someone’s voice cut through the murmurs.Th
"Don't do it, Tyron. That guy’s not just a genius, but far from ordinary. If you face him now, you'll lose for sure," Adrian warned. It felt as though someone had purposely set him up to confront this highly favored individual. Naturally, Adrian remained cautious."So what? Should we just let him provoke us? It's completely intolerable!" Tyron retorted.Adrian shared the frustration. Being provoked like this was unsettling for anyone, but he knew they couldn't act rashly. He and Tyron communicated telepathically, so no one else could hear."Greg, what do you think you're doing?" Bryn suddenly appeared and demanded, his expression dark. He had expected someone might push Greg into a confrontation with Adrian today. Adrian had been getting a lot of attention lately, while Greg was notoriously proud. If the two fought, one of them would surely be seriously injured or even die, and that would be a disaster.The Universe Alliance couldn't allow such a clash. Both Adrian and Greg were im
