The mention of the real treasure repository excited the experts.They had worked so long and hard—with many others sacrificing their lives—all for the ultimate treasure. Now, it was finally time to unveil it.A spot of light suddenly appeared mid-air and grew so bright that the experts had to squint. Eventually, the dazzling light grew brighter, resembling a golden sun suspended in mid-air.Then, the sun began to rotate faster, forming a huge vortex that shaded the sky, and that was not all. As the vortex continued to rotate and expand, it also exuded a powerful aura that shocked everyone. After a while, everything quieted down. Now that the vortex had slowed down, everyone could see clearly that it was a teleportation array, and the destination should be the final treasure repository.The experts immediately rushed in, and Gluttony and Andrius’ group were no exception. However, as soon as they entered, they were stunned. The place was completely different from the previous spa
“Overall, the Upper Realm is above the cultivation realm, but they’re not that different. It’s just a more extensive, vast, and mysterious world.“The Upper Realm is also divided into the Immortal Realm, Demonic Realm, and Fiend Realms, and there are some other mysterious and unpredictable places. There are also just as many levels of cultivation.“For example, the sequence of cultivation for the Immortal Realm is High Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, Primal Immortal, Arcane Immortal, and Aureate Immortal.“They correspond to the High Demon, Heavenly Demon, Arcane Demon, Demon King, and Demon Monarch of the Demonic Realm.“Meanwhile, for the Fiend Realm, they’re the High Fiend, Heavenly Fiend, Arcane Fiend, Fiend King, and Fiend Monarch.”Andrius took note of all the information. If he could not find Luna in the cultivation world, he would eventually go to the Upper Realm, and such knowledge might come in handy then.However, Andrius soon thought of a problem. Since the Immortal, Dem
As if he had noticed Andrius’ confusion, Gluttony explained, “Of course, it’s not as simple as you think. The barriers between the Upper and Lower Realms are difficult to break through. Even extraordinary experts have to pay a heavy price to open the path for a short time.“Even if some forces or groups are capable of the methods I mentioned earlier, they have to pay a considerable price. So, they will only open up shortcuts for the most outstanding geniuses of their forces.”At that, Andrius’ expression improved. If ordinary cultivators toiled for hundreds of years to ascend while others succeeded effortlessly, it would naturally stir envy.Andrius then went over the information again. In general, as an independent cultivator without a sect, he could only ascend to the Upper Realm through the Creation Mountain.As of now, his strength was already at the late Darkness stage, which was only one step away from the Great Progression stage. If he continued to refine the true vitality l
Gluttony glanced at Andrius and asked, “How do you think we should split it, Andrius?”After thinking it through, Andrius responded, “Since we’re the main forces in the treasure hunt, how about this? We’ll take 30 percent each, and the remaining four factions will take 10 percent each. How does that sound?”Gluttony naturally had no objections. “I agree!”“What…”Many people remained from the four factions, and for each faction to be able to take 10 percent only was too little!Of course, it may not sound like a lot in terms of proportions, but 10 percent of the total treasures was pretty generous.“Gluttony! Andrius!”A member of the Draco clan stepped forward to argue. “It’s unfair you two get to take 60 percent and leave us with only 40 percent combined!”Many others immediately echoed his sentiment.“That’s right. It’s unfair!”“No, our four factions should take 20 percent each, and you both will take 20 percent.”“Why should we have so little?”“I refuse to accept this
“I agree!”“I concur!”“If it’s 10 percent, so be it. We have no objections!”The people soon succumbed in the face of absolute strength.“Hmph.” Gluttony snorted before retracting his pressure.Then, under Andrius and Gluttony’s guidance, the treasures were distributed. The individually listed treasures naturally went to the two unless they were of little use, in which they were left to the four factions to divide.A third of the remaining secret manuals, pills, immortal artifacts, and so on were also taken by Andrius and Gluttony before they were passed on to the four factions. The treasures were so abundant that distributing everything took nearly half an hour.After the treasure repository was emptied, a teleportation array appeared again at the end. It was undoubtedly the exit.Satisfied with what they got, the four forces left with the treasures. Gluttony, however, went up to Andrius.“Andrius, with these treasures and resources, I can ascend through the tribulation wi
After a moment, only Andrius was left in the vast Immortal Palace. Without making a show of it, he found a place to sit down cross-legged and started to cultivate.This time, Andrius had no more worries and plenty of time. Thus, he cultivated all the secret techniques passed down from the Mountain Sage and the secret arts he obtained from the treasure repository that suited him.That seclusion lasted longer than any other. Several years passed, and Andrius finally mastered all the secret techniques. However, something puzzled Andrius.Although the descriptions of those techniques made them out to be powerful and lethal, they always seemed to be lacking something when he performed them.Andrius could not figure it out. He tried various methods and guesses, but they were all disproven, leaving him at a loss for what to do. After another year of attempts, Andrius decided not to keep at it any longer. He began wandering around the Immortal Palace, intending to organize it before retu
Swoosh!This time, the puppet warrior launched a punch in mid-air.The punch was imbued with apparitions of the four beasts. The dragon flew, the tiger roared, the bird soared, and the tortoise defended, but altogether, the apparitions dashed toward Andrius.In the distance, the world-destroying force compressed the space around Andrius, inch by inch, and it was terrifying. It was another ultimate technique—the Four Beasts Supreme Fist.Andrius found himself even more shocked, for that was one of the top ten techniques in the treasure repository, and it was overpowering.“Sky Genesis Cosmos Guide!”Prepared this time, Andrius immediately used an ultimate technique from the Sky Genesis Arts. Vigorous true vitality formed an octagon in front of Andrius, spinning faster and faster.When the puppet warrior’s punch arrived, it was immediately drawn into the octagon, which dissipated much of its force while exploding with increasing power.In the end, the octagon neutralized the p
The puppet warrior gave Andrius a chance to catch his breath after each attack before it continued attacking.When the puppet warrior had displayed all its ultimate skills, Andrius had also countered them with all the techniques in the Sky Genesis Arts.Crack!Suddenly, the puppet warrior stood still. While staring deeply at Andrius, the flames on its body began to fade and eventually extinguished.As for the puppet warrior itself, it burned to ashes and dissipated into nothingness. It left only the ancient ring suspended mid-air, emitting a faint light.“Huh?”Although Andrius did not understand what was going on, he reached out to take the ring. He tried to probe into the ring using his divine consciousness but failed, so he put the ring on his finger. He mimicked what the puppet warrior did and gathered his true vitality, applying it to the ring.Whoosh… Andrius suddenly felt a faint layer of real flames around his body. It was the heavenly fire! Then, he cast an ultima
