The testing stone suddenly glowed scarlet in front of everyone. In almost an instant, it turned from scarlet to normal red. '27.' Cabot was momentarily stunned. 27 years old with a level of the early stage of eight stars and strength at the early stage of nine stars. Was he still human? “He’s a freak! He’s already at the eight-star level at the age of 27. Will he be able to achieve the holy tier once he reaches 50?”“Although it’s impossible for someone to achieve the holy tier at the age of 50, it's possible for him to reach the peak of nine stars." “Tsk, that depends if he can survive until then.” “You got that right. Many nine stars will enter the Schonberg Ancient Ruin this time. No matter how talented he is, we'll still have to see if he can survive until the end.” Cabot calmed down and said to Philip, “Young man, are you willing to join the ancient Heavenly Court? If you are, your position in the future will only be higher than mine, not lower!” Seeing that
“My grandmaster’s energy is pretty depleted. In the early years, I could only stay by his side and learn something, but I never received any guidance from him,” Regus said solemnly. Philip was even more curious and asked, “His energy is depleted?” “Oh, I see. Your teacher, the Great Holy Polo, hasn’t been affected by energy depletion yet. Even the lives of great holy beings and holy beings will come to an end someday. In the later years, they have to use energy stones and energy crystals to replenish their energy. The great holy being in my family is in such a condition. He’s in seclusion all year round and never moves around.” Philip was enlightened by Regus’ explanation. It seemed that his bragging had reached another level without his knowing. After chatting briefly with Regus, they bid goodbye. That night, after walking around for a while, Philip stepped into Tanner's small yard. Philip held a liquor bottle in his hand and took a sip of it from time to time. Tanner
“Young man, I’ve been looking for you all over. Can you join me for a drink?” Cabot's attitude was much more cordial. The selection this time was to screen out the talents. If the ancient Heavenly Court could recruit one or two talents, it would be a good thing. Philip nodded. They found a place with no other people around. “Celestial General Cabot, if you want to be a spokesperson for the ancient Heavenly Court, forget it. You should know my teacher’s temper. If he gets angry, things will turn ugly.” Philip said that before drinking to prevent Cabot from trying to win him over because of this matter. Moreover, he had a grudge against the ancient Heavenly Court. If he had not disguised his appearance and Cabot recognized him, he might be hunted down by the ancient Heavenly Court! Cabot simply nodded. “Don’t worry, it’s not for this matter.” Cabot took out a quaint token and handed it to Philip. “The Schonberg Ancient Ruin prohibits mechas and other technological p
The surroundings had changed, and the place looked like an undeveloped virgin forest. The energy was so abundant that it could almost form a mist. Even if those guys who were obviously cannon fodder swarmed into this place, just staying here to practice was good enough even if they could not find treasures. There was a time difference between the Schonberg Ancient Ruin and the outside world. One month in the ancient ruin was equivalent to one day in the outside world. The ancient ruin would only open for half a month. In other words, they could stay in the Schonberg Ancient Ruin for a year. Philip had to praise his mother for coming up with this place. Not long after he started walking, he saw a bunch of people cursing loudly. “What are you doing?” Philip looked over curiously. “The White Jade Herb has produced a king herb with nine leaves.” White Jade Herb was an essential ingredient in producing the genetic modification fluid. A common item like this could not
“Okay, I want that White Jade Herb,” Philip promptly said. On the surface, it may seem that the entire incident just now had nothing to do with Licht. However, since this guy actually did something like that, Philip had reason to suspect that he had taken the White Jade Herb for his own. Despite that, Licht did not control himself when he was doing it just now and caused a big commotion, which attracted many people’s attention. That guy was very decisive and simply swept up everything in his sight. Seeing the white token hanging on Licht's waist, Philip was even more guarded. It seemed that many people shared the same idea with him, which was to sneak around while taking advantage of the situation. Licht looked at Philip grudgingly. “Buddy, can we discuss this? I don’t have that thing you mentioned. That’s a king White Jade Herb. How could I have something like that?” Philip was certain that this guy was hiding something. Seeing his numerous magic weapons, it was ob
Along the way, they got rid of several waves of basic talents. The two of them became more proficient at it. Philip would knock them out with Verge Tower, while Licht was responsible for stripping them bare of all valuables. Known as the Golden Finger, Licht was very knowledgeable about treasures. The better they worked together, the higher the number of innocent victims. In the later part, everyone knew the function of the token and decided to group together. A ten-member team stood in front of Philip. The leader was a guy with a red token, followed by two yellow ones and seven black ones. This team was ridiculously strong. The guy with the red token was Lotto. He was a solid practitioner in the late stage of nine stars, while both yellows had reached the early stage of nine stars. The seven blacks were all at the peak of eight stars. Licht looked at Philip, and the two communicated with each other telepathically. “One red token is worth a hundred white tokens, s
“When did you discover me?” Philip asked. “What do you think?” Licht smiled. Philip rubbed his face and looked at Licht. Like he was bestowing a reward, Licht pulled out a cicada silk mask and handed it to Philip. “Anyone with their third eye open can see your true appearance. During the test, you can’t hide from their detection mirror, so you showed your true colors. Do you think they don't know who you really are?” Sure enough, being with such descendants was a great blow to his pride. Just like this, he could come up with the third eye and holy artifacts. Fortunately, Philip had not done anything to Licht. Otherwise, with his endless supply of treasures, Philip would probably not hurt him in the slightest even if he fought with all his might. According to Licht, the ancient Heavenly Court already knew his identity. In that case, why did the celestial general try to get close to him? Philip sighed and obediently put on the mask Licht handed him. “Can this thin
This ancient ruin imposed a limit on the practice level of all the natives. The highest level was no more than the peak of nine stars, and no holy-tier powerhouses would appear. This was the restriction laid down by the ancient ruin. However, this python was infinitely close to the holy tier and only lacked a chance! If Philip could see the threshold of the holy tier from afar, this python already had one foot on the doorstep. Years of accumulation made it extremely powerful. If it went out into the world, it would reach the holy tier within ten years. Licht took out a red lantern tentatively and pulled Philip away from this place. “This thing is at the overlord level. Unless we reach the peak of nine stars, we can’t possibly face it.” Just by stepping out of the python’s energy field, the red lantern was drained of all the energy equivalent to the late stage of nine stars. On the contrary, Philip looked a little eager to try his hand but gave up after hearing Licht’s
“You must be referring to the lark people. What do you want with them? They're not to be trifled with. You’ll be in trouble if you mess with them.” Everyone was delighted to hear about the lark people. It was great that someone knew something. Adam was very excited to find a clue as soon as they arrived. He had thought it would take a lot of effort to find something, but reality proved otherwise. “The lark people can be regarded as the overlords here. You can find out about them easily. I'm just an ordinary old woman, so I can't tell you too much. You should approach other people if you want to find out more. Maybe you can find a storyteller. I’m sure they can tell you some very important information.” The old lady was clearly unwilling to disclose anything, so everyone was disappointed. In that case, they could not force her. “Thank you very much. At least you gave us an inkling about what to do. We wouldn’t know so many things if it weren't for you.” Adam thanked the old
“I heard that her family is quite complicated. They seem quite troublesome.” Hearing that, everyone wondered what Adam meant. It seemed that he would face problems in pursuing a relationship with this woman. Carlos looked at Adam awkwardly and sighed. “It doesn't matter. We don’t have to worry about that. Let's just take things one step at a time.” Rabbit calmly drifted around with Philip, feeling quite good. “What's there to worry about? I say the old monk has nothing better to do than worry about trivial matters. It’d be embarrassing if so many of us couldn’t bring a woman back.” Until now, Rabbit felt that the other party was just an ordinary woman, so he did not think that there was anything to worry about. They quickly joined the line to enter the city. To Philip's surprise, there was no entrance fee at all. Moreover, their appearance and attire looked no different from the others. Philip and his friends calmly entered the place, and Philip stood on guard. He had a
Philip felt helpless at the sight of this vast starry sky and suddenly felt that maybe coming here was not the right choice. They arrived without knowing anything about this place, so they might encounter various dangers. “I’m curious about the woman you've been looking for. She must be quite extraordinary,” Philip said curiously, baffled about this matter. Hearing that, Adam shook his head helplessly. He was really clueless about everything. “I only know that I can come here and find her with the key. I don’t even know where she is. We can only search aimlessly in this starry sky.” Philip was dumbfounded by Adam’s incompetence. “I thought we’d be teleported to her home or a fixed location, so I don’t know what’s the deal with this. I have a feeling that I’ve been tricked.” Adam sighed helplessly. “Let's just wander around. I’m sure we can find something somehow,” Carlos comforted Adam, but he was not optimistic about it either. He knew that they probably could not find the
Adam had to reevaluate Philip’s strength. He used to think that Philip was simply the best of his generation. Although powerful, he was not invincible. However, the ability to change certain orders and rules was not something that just anyone had. It would not be far-fetched to call Philip the chosen one favored by the heavens. Philip told Carlos to bury Bryce before forgetting about him. Carlos quickly handled his affairs, packed his bags, and got ready to set off with Philip. Adam also waited for Philip without much luggage on hand. Philip stuffed Rabbit into the Verge Tower space. He had to bring Rabbit along with him or the latter would be up to no good. “Rabbit, stay in Verge Tower and stop bothering me.” Rabbit was upset to hear that he had to stay in Verge Tower but still felt happy that Philip was willing to take him along. “Next, the two of you need to relax. I’ll wrap you with my energy. Don't try to resist or you’ll only end up hurting yourself,” Philip said.
“I have other important things to do. Don't worry. I’ll be back soon, so make sure you work hard during this time. I’ve given you all the pills you need. Whether you can make full use of them depends on you.” In Philip’s opinion, the Hexa Guild could not do anything anymore, so there was no worry about them. After much deliberation, Jamie nodded. Philip did not belong to his guild, so he could hardly stop Philip from leaving. Moreover, Philip’s pill supply was already a great help to them. It would be annoying if Jamie asked for more. “No problem. Where are you going next? Do you need my help? I’ll do my best to help you.” The Celestial Palace was powerful enough for Jamie to say such things. Philip shook his head. He would be traveling with Adam next, and his strength was incredible. It was best for them to leave together. “It’s okay. I have everything prepared. Just do your best in the competition and don’t allow the Hexa Guild to take the upper hand.” Now that the Cele
“He lost his family when their enemies sought revenge while he was very young, so he's quite pitiful in a way.” Philip was not concerned about it. The life story of a loser had nothing to do with him. Moreover, Bryce was clearly up to no good. Getting to know him was a waste of time. “I found all the information he researched. To be honest, I’d think highly of him if he weren't up to no good.” Rabbit waved his paw smugly. He had looked through Bryce’s things and knew exactly what he had researched. Philip looked at a bottle of potion and could tell everything at a glance. “He’s a genius, indeed, but there’s no saving someone with bad intentions.” Philip shook his head helplessly. Bryce could only blame his bad luck for encountering them today. Carlos quickly took care of Bryce. There was no point in keeping such an evil villain. There was no need to be charitable in this situation. Adam looked at the room and sighed helplessly at Bryce’s unfortunate end. Although he had
Philip was curious about this situation. Since he could not get any information from the stubborn hooded man, he would find out indirectly. “That’s enough. Take him away. He has no value to us anyway. It's better to send him away.,” Philip said with disdain and did not take him seriously at all. The hooded man was shocked to hear that Philip was sending him away. He was nervous and afraid that Philip would do something to him. Although he was selfish and unreasonable, he was also a coward and afraid of death. Everyone sighed helplessly at his mournful wails. Adam closed his eyes, unwilling to get involved. Seeing this, Philip believed that Adam was unwilling to pay attention to his nephew, but he was still curious. If they were closely related, why would this guy's family sever all ties with Adam? It was advantageous to be on good terms with Adam. Not only would they receive guidance on practice, but they could also listen to his lectures from time to time. For example,
Philip and the old monk greeted each other happily as if they were old friends. Carlos was surprised to see Philip on such good terms with the high and mighty old monk. This was something he had never even dared to dream about. It was unbelievable that he could sit and drink happily with the old monk one day. “Let me introduce my friends.” Philip calmly introduced everyone around him, ignoring Carlos’ anxiety. Carlos stood up when he saw the old monk. “Hello, my name is Carlos. I admire you very much. I never thought that I'd be able to meet you one day. It’s my honor.” Carlos was happy and excited to get more perks than the guild leader. The old monk was quite friendly. After greeting Carlos with a smile, he looked at Philip curiously, wondering what he was up to. “I want to find out if you know someone.” After saying this, Philip asked Carlos to bring the hooded man out. The guy was tied up tightly and looked pitiful. More importantly, his clothes had been stripped off,
The hooded man woke up very soon, and he could not believe that Philip caught him. “What's going on? How did you catch me? This is impossible.” He was very confident in himself and knew that no one could catch him so easily, but reality had just proven him wrong. He had no choice but to believe it. “What's impossible? You underestimate me too much!” Rabbit snapped furiously. “What’s your name?” Philip stared at the man curiously. He had a feeling that this person was the same as the old monk. “Rabbit, call the old monk over. I want to speak to him. He may not know you, so you need to tell him who you are.” After interrogating this man, Philip wanted to speak to the old monk and find out his opinion about this hooded man. Since the two gave him the same feeling, they had to be connected somehow. Rabbit hopped over to find the old monk. He knew that the old monk was the best referral for this matter because he was very powerful and knowledgeable. The old monk was resting
