“Now that I've captured you, it’s not up to you to bargain with me. The ball is in my court. I hope you realize that.” Philip was very unhappy with her attempt to negotiate with him. He was the one with the initiative, so it was up to him to do as he pleased. It was the old woman’s wishful thinking to get his soul and spirit. He was tolerant enough not to kill her outright. “Hehe, since you’re here, you should know about the island,” the old woman said secretively. It felt strange to hear that hoarse voice in the empty cave. Aslan felt goosebumps all over his body. Philip stared fixedly at the old woman, waiting to see what she would say. Seeing no reaction from Philip, the old woman knew she was right. “Since you’re here for that thing, you have to let me go. Many stupid humans have reached this place over the years, but only one person can enter it,” the old woman spoke of the past events. Philip seemed to realize something. Maybe this old woman was the person in char
Philip was the most promising and talented person she had seen over the years. She could recreate Billy once she took possession of this man’s body. At that time, Billy would no longer be a wraith but a living person. As a wraith, Billy could return to life repeatedly. The old woman always used this method to deceive others. Billy would be reborn again after being destroyed by the other party. After rebirth, Billy would become stronger and more proficient in his mastery of space and domain. Therefore, the old woman was not worried that Billy would vanish completely. With Billy’s undead skill, the old woman could do whatever she wanted. “When you reach that island, you can pick a fruit called the Motley Fruit to restore your soul and spirit,” the old woman said earnestly. She had always wanted to enter the island but did not meet the requirements and could only guard the door. “My request is very simple. If you give me a fragment of your soul and spirit and bring me something
Indeed, Philip learned this trick from Scarlet. Philip thought that Scarlet's charm technique was quite good and practical. However, it was missing some critical elements, so Scarlet was quite bad at casting her charm and could only attract people who were much weaker than her. If she were better at it, many people in Imperial City might marvel at her. However, now that the relationship between them had turned sour, he felt no need to dwell on that woman's future. Philip quickly got the answers he wanted. At this time, the old woman finally returned to her senses. She was shocked to realize that she had given away all her secrets. She tried to cover her mouth with her hands as if she could erase her words from Philip's memory. However, she was bound so tightly that she could not move at all. Philip could not only block the old woman’s energy core but also control her movements. He could not be bothered with other tricks. He wanted to seal his soul and spirit and give it a try
Philip and Aslan hurried through the passage and soon saw light ahead. Philip expected to see a forest, but they appeared in a paradise. The place was full of men, women, and children in ancient attire walking in the fields happily. Some people plowed the fields while others were teaching their children to read and write. Philip was very surprised to see this scene. He thought he would see a forest or a prosperous city, but it turned out to be the countryside. Moreover, this area was not very big, and Philip could see it at a glance. With only 40 or 50 people living here at most, their presence hardly made a difference. The natives were curious about Philip and Aslan’s sudden appearance. An old man marched over and said with a smile, “It has been many years since we saw a fresh face. You actually passed the many tests to make it here!” Philip was puzzled by the old man’s amiable behavior and felt that something was not quite right. The bad premonition grew more intense, but h
The room was so big that Philip and Aslan could stay in it together comfortably, but the other party insisted that they separate for some reason. Philip could not refuse the other party’s kindness. Since this was the rule of their village, they just had to abide by it. “After we separate, you have to be wary at all times, or do you want to return to our world instead?” Philip discussed with Aslan worriedly. Aslan was reliable at times but careless at other times. Even if this was a trivial matter, Philip did not want any accidents. Aslan shook his head. He wanted to solve this mystery himself. “Don’t worry. I’ll stay focused and won’t cause you any trouble.” Aslan understood Philip’s intention and assured him. Philip turned to chat with the villagers. After an hour of interaction, Philip did not find anything strange. The content of the conversations was quite normal. Except for being a little outdated, Philip did not see anything inappropriate about these villagers. “We ca
The first elder’s image matched the heritage he received.The second elder was a little short. “Don’t think too little of Second Elder Burton. He’s the God of Alchemy. I’m sure you would've never seen such amazing pills before!” the village chief introduced him with a smile on his face. Hearing that, Aslan also smiled, but only Philip knew the meaning behind his smile. Obviously, Aslan thought that claim was a stretch. As someone who popped pills like jelly beans, he really wondered what magical pills the other party could make. “God of Alchemy? That sounds amazing,” Philip praised. Before finding out the actual situation, Philip would not offend them. The third elder was stout and muscular, obviously not simple at a glance. “If I’m not mistaken, this elder must be involved in weapon smithing.” Philip made a bold guess, which the village chief quickly confirmed. “Indeed, Third Elder Clay specializes in forging various weapons. Each of them has received the heritage of
After Philip returned to the room, he took the food out and scrutinized it. He could not help feeling that something was wrong with the meat. Philip could not tell what meat it was from the cooked food. He would only be able to guess after taking a bite. In desperation, Philip returned to his original world. Although he could not judge based on his senses, various technologies were available in his world. Philip gave Montel the meat and told him to find an appraisal department to determine what it was. Before Montel could react, Philip vanished from his sight again. Montel looked at the piece of meat and sniffed it. “Wow, it smells so good!” Philip had given Montel all the meat they collected. Montel quickly found a plate to hold the meat. After much thought, he finally decided to find a bag for the meat. While Montel went searching for a bag, someone sneaked into the villa. He pressed against the wall and quickly sneaked inside. The man smiled brightly at the sight of the
Montel quickly contacted a company that specialized in appraisals to conduct an appraisal on the meat as soon as possible.Philip was lying on the bed in his room and having a conversation with Aslan through voice transmission. “Philip, I have a feeling that something is not right. After thinking about it, I feel that something is off with the eyes of these people!” Aslan was a special person who always focused on weird angles in various matters. Philip was pleased to hear that. He thought Aslan had not noticed it. Philip had noticed the strange looks in these people's eyes during the meal. They looked normal on the surface, but a weird green light would flash in their eyes from time to time. However, they behaved normally like ordinary people, so Philip could not accuse them of anything just because he noticed that green light in their eyes. “What do you think?” Philip asked calmly. Aslan frowned in thought. He knew Philip was testing him. “I don’t think they're human,” A
“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
