This was the first time Philip laid eyes on the Nine Lunar Resurrection Herb, which was black with nine leaves. It was bare at the bottom, making it look like grass, but it also appeared like a flower. It glowed with a dark light, seemingly very charming. Philip walked over, squatted down, and took out his Caelum Sword. He dug out the whole piece of land and put it inside Verge Tower. With that done, he walked to the palace on the side. It was a huge palace with three or four small rooms on the side. Philip explored the rooms and found some practice resources. He found a colorful flower in one of the rooms, but Philip did not recognize it. He took it and planned to ask Big Roc about it. He also planned to tell the others about his upcoming plans and ask them to find their own opportunities. Philip quickly went through the rooms before walking out of the cave. Outside the cave, the pseudo holy being had returned to the valley, but the big roc remained in place with nar
This drawback was related to the upcoming conference on the stone of path order. If Philip leveled up now, it might be difficult for him to compete for a place in the conference later. After all, this competition involved talents of the pseudo holy tier and nine stars. Thus, Philip was in a dilemma. The big roc looked at Philip quietly. After a while, the big roc said, “I’ll take my leave now. You decide what to do next.” Philip looked at his surroundings in surprise. Philip finally realized that the formation around them had disappeared. The hazy environment around had cleared up. The blue sky and white clouds had emerged, and the surrounding mountains were visible. The mountain creatures could even be seen. Philip frowned and looked at the big roc. “The formation has been lifted?” The big roc nodded and said, “The formation was lifted two days after you entered the cave, and I can also leave now.” The big roc looked at Philip meaningfully. Philip burst into la
Philip frowned and exhaled. “Whatever. Just let nature take its course and everything will work out eventually. My priority now is to take care of the problem in front of me.” Philip stood up and walked to the valley. He had to take care of the people of Big Dipper Palace in the valley before he went into seclusion. Soon, Philip appeared in front of those people in the valley. They walked to Philip with several barrels each. Philip glanced at them and then at the creek. The creek had dried up with only a few water droplets reflecting the rays of the sun. Philip nodded imperceptibly, looked at those people, and said calmly, “Each of you can leave with a barrel of Soul Raiding Water, but if you ever encounter an unbeatable enemy, you must use all the Soul Raiding Water. Do you understand?” Philip’s gaze sharpened, and everyone nodded in response. Philip added, “Next, you can look for opportunities around here. If I’m not mistaken, this place should be a herb garden wh
Everyone below fell silent, but those sitting at the round table were smiling. Old Shank and Zenith Clarke were both present with a man in purple next to them. The man seemed very sleepy as if he could not open his eyes. However, he said, “17 parties? That’s too many. There are not that many forces on this continent.” As the man spoke, he looked at a man with a blood-red moon symbol on his chest. The latter stood up and said smilingly, “Blood Moon Alliance swears allegiance to the Lovelace family.” Everyone was dumbfounded. No one believed that they negotiated this in advance. In their opinion, Blood Moon Alliance must have been planted by the Lovelace family! The real name of the leader of the Blood Moon Alliance was Percy Lovelace. The man in purple looked at the man in front of him and said indifferently, “It’s time for you to consolidate your forces now. Stop dividing into so many forces to recruit more people. Let’s put things out in the open.” “The ancient dra
Beck laughed and shook his head. He said with emotion, “I really can’t hide anything from the Clarke family. The green ox royal family, come here.” The representative of the green ox royal family stood up and approached Beck. Xenon scowled. Although the ancient Heavenly Court had their arrangements too, Xenon did not expect the three major families to have reached this stage. Xenon took a deep breath. “You two families are really impressive.” Beck and Zenith pursed their lips without looking at Xenon. The two families had existed on this continent for ages. How would they not know Xenon’s tricks? Sure enough, Xenon added, “Since the two of you are out in the open, the ancient Heavenly Court will follow suit.” Three forces stood up and approached Xenon. The white tiger, chimera, and flying snake royal families! The ancient Heavenly Court had gathered many forces on their side too! Old Shank was dumbfounded as he stared at the scene in front of him. In the blink of
The remaining Divination Guild joined the Demonic Guild. Xenon looked at this scene with a hint of emotion. “In the end, we've reached this stage. The forces of this world have been divided into five. You finally emerged and chose to stand against us.” Xenon put on a wise look on his face now. Obviously, he was faking it just now. Beck raised his eyebrows but said nothing. Zenith and Old Shank were silent too, but the guy from the Demonic Guild said, “Cut the crap and get to the point.” Xenon flicked a glance at the other party. That was the leader of the Shade Guild, not Sinastro. “There’s really not much to say. We're the only ones left on the Starfall Continent now. The remaining forces can decide how to choose, but your choice determines your future survival. To put it bluntly, even if you choose the neutral Shank family, you’ll be destroyed in the end.” Xenon said that calmly as if he had already made up his mind. The other major forces did not refute his sta
The man nodded and sat down. The other forces seemed to be in a dilemma but not for long. Soon, they separated and joined the forces they favored. After everyone took sides, the Shank family undoubtedly became the weakest among them. After all, only the black turtle royal family joined the Shank family. Out of nearly 100,000 people, only more than 7,000 chose the Shank family. Their numbers were less than 10,000! “It seems that the Shank family is unable to compete anymore,” Old Shank said nonchalantly. “The black turtle royal family's territory is right in the middle, so this place will belong to the Shank family, okay?” Everyone frowned and looked at Old Shank doubtfully. That area would most likely end up in the middle of the war zone. In that case, the black turtle royal family and the Shank family would definitely suffer huge losses. That did not seem like a wise choice. Old Shank read their minds, but he had his plans, so he said with a smile, “I’ll leave yo
Philip was in a dilemma again. At this moment, he had no idea what was happening outside. This incident would render many of Philip’s plans useless. Even the existence of Big Dipper Palace would become history. Those forces would definitely not allow Big Dipper Palace to exist. As time passed by, Philip made up his mind. “Since the White Realm has appeared, the indomitable pseudo holy beings are bound to find ways to break through to the holy tier in order to fight for the things left by the White Emperor. If I remain at the current level, I’ll definitely lose the right to compete.” Philip looked up at the palace ceiling that was full of energy-gathering magic circles. They were glowing softly with beautiful lights. Philip closed his eyes. “If I don’t use the Five Elements Flower now, putting aside the question of whether I can break through in the future, I’m afraid I won't be able to learn the secret of the ruins during this trip. In that case, how will I learn my mothe
“Wow, I feel so good as if I just had a massage.” Jeff praised Philip in his mind. After taking the pill, he recovered instantly. Even the ailments he had been suffering from in the past were healed. He was in such good shape that he could face Hogster with no problem. He even felt that he could resist Hogster’s attack this time. Philip nodded. Jeff was quite good. He had thought that Jeff was already defeated and would not even be able to move. However, Jeff forced himself to take out a pill and swallowed it. “He’s quite good at persevering and has a bright future. You can consider grooming him,” Philip said to Jamie. Jamie was surprised to hear such a high assessment from Philip. Jamie attached great importance to Philip's suggestion. Since Philip said so, he would develop Jeff properly. “Aren’t you very full of yourself? Keep going.” Jeff rushed forward and started beating Hogster up. Hogster was already dying and could not put up a fight at all. “Stop!” Hogste
The Hexa Guild had lost the earlier match, so Hogster was upset about it. Their guild should be undefeatable. They should have made a name for themselves by now, but everything was ruined. Although Hogster did not know why the Celestial Palace was so powerful, he had a feeling that they were cheating. “I’m the pride of the Hexa Guild while you’re just an ordinary member. Don't even think about resisting me,” Hogster said calmly, clearly looking down on Jeff. Of course, Jeff was not to be outdone. “My favorite hobby is to beat someone while they're down. Your guild's reputation is so bad anyway. Why bother holding on to it?” His remark struck the Hexa Guild’s sore spot, and all the members scowled at him. Indeed, the Hexa Guild had a very bad reputation. They could only recruit ordinary people who could not join other guilds but yearned to practice. “Hehe, cut the crap. We’ll know the outcome after a fight!” After saying this, Hogster charged at Jeff with a weapon in han
It would do the Hexa Guild no good to keep Vanna alive, so they would not allow it to happen. Although the members of the Hexa Guild were angry, they quickly cheered up. There would be several matches with the Celestial Palace to go. They could not lose their fighting spirit because of this trivial matter. “Let’s see how powerful the Celestial Palace is. I refuse to believe that we’re no match for them.” Hogster decided to take the stage because the upcoming opponent was just an ordinary member of the Celestial Palace. They were not very strong. In his opinion, an ordinary member could not be very strong. It would be easy to win this match, and it would save him a lot of trouble too. It would be bad if he faced a dark horse like the previous match. The hooded man saw the performance of the Celestial Palace and was surprised by their extraordinary strength. However, he did not notice anything unusual. He simply thought that it was their usual strength. Since they were so str
“This is interesting.” The hooded man glanced at the people discussing this matter and felt expectant. He could not wait to meet Philip. On the other hand, Philip was watching the competition and had no idea what was going on. “Oh, I see, you’re the young lady of the Celestial Palace. I thought you were very powerful, but this is all there is to you.” Vanna’s opponent was an ugly woman who was very upset with her beautiful appearance. Vanna looked at her mockingly. “The outcome has yet to be determined. I don’t think you’re any better either.” After saying this, Vanna looked at the other party, waiting for her to make the first move. The ugly woman was furious at Vanna’s provocation. “Very well. Since you don’t know what’s good for you, let me show you what I’m capable of!” After saying this, she attacked Vanna as if she were ready to get rid of her. She had received an order from the guild leader to deal with Vanna properly. The Hexa Guild had initially planned to qu
The Hexa Guild also claimed that they would kill anyone from the Celestial Palace. Although upset, no one dared to say anything in the face of the other party’s strength. It would be embarrassing if they could not live up to their claims if they retorted now. Moreover, the battle was a matter of life and death. Everyone was risking their lives. The Celestial Palace had the confidence to face the Hexa Guild now. They believed that they could turn the situation around with their strength or at least show them what they could do. There would be a battle between the two parties in the afternoon, which was the best time to show off their strength. The young lady of the Celestial Palace would be the one contending. After improving her strength, Vanna was full of confidence and vowed to give her opponent a fatal blow or at least let them know how powerful she was. Ronan was nervous. He was not worried about his wife but worried that the Hexa Guild would take things too far. Those
It could be considered returning the favor. Jamie shook his head helplessly. He knew Philip’s kind intentions, but this matter was not so simple. “I know that your wine can improve someone’s strength, but it’s no help to us right now!” The overall strength of the Hexa Guild had increased so much that it went beyond anyone’s comprehension. Carlos turned up at this time. He wanted to talk to Philip about this matter, but Jamie beat him to it. “My friends just told me that the Hexa Guild is hellbent on dealing with everyone, not only us. Anyone up against them will be killed. They must be insane to face any guilds without fear!” Philip was intrigued. They could not be so confident for no reason. They must have encountered an opportunity. “Maybe they encountered an opportunity. I can't be sure about this, but I can at least provide you something to ensure that nothing happens to your people.” After saying this, Philip handed Jamie some pills. Philip was very confident about
It was very suspicious that a bunch of losers became so strong all of a sudden. “Philip, don’t you think something is wrong? I have a feeling that the Hexa Guild did something,” Jamie asked bluntly with mixed feelings about it. There was clearly something wrong with the Hexa Guild. Philip nodded. He had been watching the competition carefully. He could see that these people’s strength had just been improved, and their foundation was not very stable. “Don't think too much. There is a problem with them, and it’s not small either. From the looks of it, they must've taken something that can quickly improve their strength. However, their skills and combat experience can't keep up, so they can only barely manage it.” Philip shook his head helplessly. At this rate, even the members of the Celestial Palace would suffer. Moreover, the Hexa Guild held a big grudge against the Celestial Palace. Once they met, it would definitely be a life-and-death battle. “What should we do? All th
“You should prepare for the competition.” Philip turned and left after saying that. Everyone felt angry at his domineering appearance. Some people had ideas about Philip. “Which guild does Philip belong to?” a man with a sinister face asked angrily. He wanted to know which guild Philip belonged to so that he could go all out to target Philip's guild. Others shook their heads. No one knew much about Philip. At this time, a spy from the Hexa Guild stepped forward. He looked at the man flatteringly and provided all the information he knew. “Philip doesn't belong to any guild, but he’s an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace!” The fact that Philip became an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace had not been made public. Only people keeping a close eye on the Celestial Palace knew about it. The Hexa Guild had always wanted to deal with the Celestial Palace, so they had been keeping a close eye on the latter. They knew all the minor details. The man scowled as if he did
“I can explore the secret realm on your behalf, but why do you think she’d appear there?” Although Philip could not figure it out, maybe the old monk had his reason for saying that. “I’ll explore the secret realm after the guild competition is over. If I can find the woman you’re looking for, I’ll think of a way.” In fact, Philip would rather take the old monk with him. He did not know what the woman looked like, so it was better for the old monk to do it himself. “Sure!” The old monk smiled brightly, surprised that Philip would agree so decisively. The secret realm was full of dangers. He knew that he should not let others take risks for him, but Philip did not ask any questions and even agreed to his request without any hesitation. “I’ll think about it and see if I can find a way to bring you in,” Philip said off-handedly. He still preferred to bring the old monk with him. The old monk was dumbfounded and thought he had heard it wrongly. “What?” The old monk gaped at
