LOGINHowever, Kohei overlooked one thing in his zeal to produce results.Their research base was already overcompensating. That meant supplies were scarce, and fuel reserves could only meet the needs of small-scale operations. Now, all vehicles were running at full capacity, shuttling back and forth, and with the addition of helicopters, the reserves were rapidly being drained. And when Charlie woke Ruby and Penny to check out the aurora again, the Japanese researchers at Griffin Winter Manor were knee-deep in their intensive exploration.As they arrived beneath the aurora, Charlie once again sacrificed most of his Reiki to acquire sixteen new hand seals, bringing the total sequences of Variocana hand seals to ninety-six.The underlying logic of the Variocana hand seals was simple: each additional hand seal enhanced the overall effect, and this gradual accumulation meant that the initial shortage of just sixteen hand seals was no longer a problem.Charlie felt all confident because if
Barlin sent Kohei flying with his slap—but he was being restrained, or the slap would have shattered Kohei's skull.Seeing Kohei lying lopsided and unconscious in the snow, Barlin cursed as he strode over to check on him. He soon saw that the man was definitely passed out and maimed. He considered leaving Kohei to die, but then remembered that he needed Kohei to teach him about whatever gimmick he was talking about, and growled through his teeth, "Damn it! Why do I have to waste my Reiki to wake you up from slapping you?! What a loser!" Despite the physical and verbal abuse, he still had to try to save Kohei, and he reluctantly projected his Reiki into Kohei's body to quickly revive him. Upon waking, Kohei touched his swollen head that was the size of a football, still feeling groggy. Still, Barlin asked impatiently, "When can that radar thing you talked about be used?" Kohei bowed his head reverently, ignoring his disorientation. "Any time, my lord. However, I still need
Once Charlie got his revenge, he'd rather spend the rest of his time enjoying life like Vera did, rather than seclude himself in endless cultivation. The two lingered by the window for a long time before Charlie sighed softly. "I'm never going into seclusion if I ever succeed in my revenge. I'll live like you, living every day to the fullest." - Meanwhile, Barlin was continuing his expedition hundreds of miles away in the Antarctic wilderness. For the past twenty days, he had the entire Antarctica for anything, but found nothing of value. He had since speculated that the gate for the Flight of Transcendence wasn't actually some kind of mechanism that helped a cultivator achieve it. A more plausible theory was that, after the Degenerate Age of Dharma, the most powerful sect on Earth at the time had brought its cultivators to this continent in a last-ditch effort against the inevitable death of cultivation. That meant some cultivators came here, and succeeded in the Flight of
Vera did not expect Charlie to immediately worry about her after learning how much time had passed.Despite feeling grateful, she feigned nonchalance and replied, "Thank you for worrying about me, but I've been fine. After living for centuries, I'm honestly used to being alone.""That's not true," Charlie said bluntly, exposing her right then. "If you really were, you wouldn't have adopted so many orphans or kept Decan Raven by your side." Those words felt like a surprise gut-punch for Vera, and the corner of her eyes reddened, with tears welling up in them.The fear of loneliness was real, especially since she had the body of a teenager along with the heart of one, but had to live for four hundred years with both.Teenage girls would feel lonely when left at home by themselves, whereas this girl had to wander without friends or family for centuries.Feeling her own tears about to overflow, Vera turned away, keeping her back to Charlie as she wiped them away.Charlie couldn't h
While Barlin explored the Antarctic ice sheet with the most primitive methods possible, Charlie had already spent twenty days cultivating in seclusion at the Norway research station.In that period, he almost never paused as he kept casting the Vairocana hand seals.To his surprise, as he became more proficient with it, he could cast it even faster while his Reiki grew at a distinctly quicker rate as well.Both Ruby and Penny had to acknowledge that Charlie's speed and effectiveness were several notches above theirs as well. Charlie would have completed the full sequence while Ruby could barely finish half in the same duration. Penny was naturally even slower—finishing less than a quarter.But for Charlie, now that he had mastered the hand seals, it seemed ingrained in his very mind, perhaps even reaching the level of muscle memory. Even as he envisioned one hand gesture within his mind, his mind and muscles were already prepared for the next four or five.In time, Charlie noticed
However, the ice caps here were over 6,000 feet thick.If the path to the Flight of Transcendence wasn't above the ice caps but beneath it, doesn't that mean Barlin had some serious digging to do?Just the thought left him despairing.And having read the map of the South Pole and learned how huge it was, what he thought was a 40,000-square-mile search now also required Reiki probing going as far as 6,000 feet deep.It was literally hell.Even then, Barlin didn't want to give up, as he was painfully aware that he couldn't escape Fleur's clutches.As long as he couldn't find a way to live forever, he might not even outlive Fleur.Hence, this place was his best shot, which was why he swore to himself to find the gates for the Flight of Transcendence, no matter where it was!Hence, after speeding through the ice caps for 24 hours, the three snow tractors arrived where Barlin had pointed out earlier.It was a hilly pass that faces north, and the winds were biting cold.Getting off
At this time, the female assistant held onto her face that was already flushed red after getting slapped as she cried and said, “Young Master, all of these are the work mistakes that Daxton had committed! You cannot vent your anger on me. It’s not fair to me…”“Who the hell cares about fairness?!” To
As soon as Tom’s video was exposed, it immediately got on the hot search on many major websites.The netizens thought that Tom had simply done something dumb again, which was similar to what he had done the last time when he had intentionally hired a group of actors who were acting in a Japanese anti
Just as the husband and wife had walked down the passenger boarding stairs, Quinn could not help but hold Charlie’s hand as they quickly stepped forward to greet them.Charlie said with great respect, “Uncle Golding, Aunt Golding, it must have been a tiring and tough journey for the both of you to co
At this time, Charlie said indifferently, “You can get out of the car first. Falco Xanthos is right behind us, and he will come up very soon. As long as you act according to what I’ve instructed, I’ll naturally be able to keep you safe.”Carvalho ground his teeth as he nodded. Even if he did not trus
