In a nutshell, Nimbus Mountain was an extremely dangerous place not accessible to ordinary practitioners. However, Philip was different. As the heavenly path’s successor, maybe he could go down the mountain to explore. Steve could take this opportunity to learn something about the foot of Nimbus Mountain. “Nimbus Mountain is a terrifying place that no one can reach. It’s rumored to contain various treasures, similar to the legendary Heavenly Path’s Carrefour. However, the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour is not open all the time. Unlucky people might end up dead after jumping off the cliff. “Since you’re connected to the heavenly path, maybe you can enter it?” Over the lengthy chat, Philip learned a lot about Nimbus Mountain and was curious about it. Since there was no way to jump off the cliff, maybe he could use a beast mount to fly down. Philip was excited at this idea. He finally found a clue to the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour. He had to take a look no matter what. Even if the
In that case, Steve should make the news public in advance so that everyone would know about the cliff and maybe someone would commend him for it. Thinking of this, he quickly gathered the elders. The other elders had heard about it from Ted and gathered together at Steve’s call. They knew that Steve was ready to reveal his secrets. “I’m sure everyone has heard about the foot of Nimbus Mountain. It may be the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour, but we can't reach that place with our strength.” Steve was interrupted before he finished speaking. Ted did not think there was anywhere he could not go, so he was full of disdain. “Why can't we go there? Although the death rate in that place is very high, I have confidence in my strength.” He glanced at Steve provocatively. “Why didn't you tell me about this earlier? In the past, I would've never explored Nimbus Mountain as there was no reason to, but it’s different now. I need to understand everything related to the Heavenly Path’s Car
To Philip, a swarm of giant salamanders was no big deal. In fact, they were useless to a certain extent. Philip ruthlessly blocked their sneak attacks and easily dealt with them. It proved that the strength of these amphibians was not equal to their ambitions. After absorbing the beasts’ energy, Philip felt that his strength had returned to its peak. He could kill these creatures effortlessly now. The further he went, the more Philip felt something was wrong. He felt a powerful pressure approaching, and it gave him a bad feeling. The further he walked, the more he felt as if something was trying to break out of his body. It was as if a powerful force was attracting him. Philip took a few steps forward and saw a huge skeleton in front of him. The skeleton looked like the corpse of a beast. Philip could not tell what it was, but he was scared. It was more than a hundred meters tall and almost reached the sky. Philip felt very insignificant in front of it, which sent chills
The King of Beasts might be aware of this so it sent the giant salamanders to attack Philip and lead him to the path of no return. It never thought that Philip would not be affected at all. These little tricks meant nothing to Philip. Philip crushed the skeleton and found more than a dozen pink crystals. He gave everything to Verge Tower and left happily. He gained a lot, but the giant salamanders never appeared again, probably all wiped out by Philip. Since it was getting late, Philip found a safe spot to camp. He lit a fire and roasted a piece of beast meat. He could not take salamander meat. The creature was ugly and pitch-black, and the meat did not taste very good. As Philip was getting bored, Rabbit jumped out of his pocket. Rabbit had always been with Philip, but it had been sleeping in Philip's pocket without making an appearance. As Philip started grilling meat, Rabbit popped out when it smelled the fragrance. “Hehe, your cooking skills are really good, P
Suddenly, a biting chill washed over him. Philip frowned and immediately went on high alert. “What the hell is trying to mess with me now?” Philip took out his weapon and slashed with all his might in the direction where the attack came from. The next moment, he heard a strange scream. He backed away while evading the unknown dangers. Although he felt that these dangers posed no threat to him, he did not want to be injured for no reason. Philip’s energy circulated in his body and quickly got rid of the biting chill. At this time, Philip saw many toads lurking next to the underground river. These toads were different from the ones he had seen before. They were white and could spurt icy-cold swords from their mouths from time to time! It proved that these creatures attacked him just now. After attacking Philip, they quickly changed positions and hid behind the rocks. They should be quite adept at sneak attacks. Philip could not name many of the creatures in this world and c
Philip killed all the toads around him in disgust. Their ugly appearance affected his mood greatly. “These things are so ugly. I find them annoying when I see them croaking!” Rabbit grumbled. Rabbit glared at the toads and wanted to kick the carcasses too. “As a member of the royal family, I’ve always been upright and overboard. I despise creatures that use underhanded methods!” Philip laughed at Rabbit’s reaction. It was fun to have this guy along the way. Rabbit was always lackadaisical and came up with interesting comments. “Philip, let’s charge ahead boldly. There’s no turning back now that we've taken the first step. We have to go on!” Rabbit said with determination. It had a feeling that they could find something ahead. It would be a huge loss if they returned to Nimbus Mountain now. Philip nodded and continued into the depths of the underground river. With his ability, the water of the underground river could not touch him. He stepped on the water and moved forwa
Besides, if Philip was really as powerful as rumored, this transaction would not be considered a failure. If Philip was really the successor to the heavenly path, Carol could already imagine how wonderful her life would be! Although the Pill Guild’s status was very high, two other major guilds loomed over them. As the holy maiden, her status also depended on the guild. The other two guilds were arrogant and did not like the Pill Guild, which had a poor reputation. Therefore, Carol did not have an easy time outside, and her reputation was slowly affected. Although Carol had not done anything, she knew the Pill Guild was not good either. Everything would be different if her significant other was the heavenly path’s successor. No one would dare to ridicule her or look down on her status again. They had to worship her even if she was a village girl! The Pill Guild was in chaos right now. The arrogant first elder kept saying that he wanted to take a look. Carol wanted to tag alo
Meanwhile, Philip was moving forward without any knowledge of the chaos in the Pill Guild. After Philip was taken away by the suction force, he felt uncomfortable as if something was weighing down on his body. He quickly circulated energy and returned to normal. He did not forget the dumb Rabbit as he did so. It was in bad shape, struggling to breathe. Rabbit was not good at fighting, and its practice level was low. Without Philip's help, it would've suffocated to death. Very soon, Philip was thrown out by a powerful force. When he returned to his senses, he found himself on a huge platform. The platform was located above the underground river with a black coffin placed in the middle of the platform. The coffin looked extraordinary, and Philip could not figure out the material used for it. It was tightly sealed, and the wood was pure black but exuded a faint glow. Philip felt a strange vibe from the coffin as if an evil force was attracting him. “Philip, something is wrong
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
“The truth is that I have a favor to ask of you, but I’m afraid of overstepping the line, so…” The old monk knew that his action was inappropriate, so he was conflicted and wondered how he should ask for Philip’s help. Philip was interested upon hearing that the old monk needed a favor. He wanted to know what stumped him. With his strength and status, the old monk should be omnipotent. “Feel free to speak your mind. If I can handle it, I don’t mind lending a helping hand.” Philip would not help for no reason. If the other party was willing to pay the price, he would not refuse. The old monk was excited to hear Philip’s agreement. “I have the location of a secret realm. I tried to enter it once, but the secret realm told me that I couldn’t enter it,” the old monk said with regret. “There should be a lot of good things in this secret realm, so I’m very disappointed that I can't enter and explore it. I was told that only people from other worlds could enter this secret realm.
“Since that’s your request, I’ll oblige.” Philip flew up the stage and quickly landed next to the old monk. Everyone was jealous to see Philip forging a connection with the old monk. Many people at the scene recognized Philip and knew who he was. “Look, isn't that Philip? I can’t believe that the old monk is so interested in Philip. It seems that we can’t take Philip lightly.” “I always thought Philip was a loser, but maybe I’m mistaken.” “He’s on very good terms with the Celestial Palace. Why would you think he was a loser?” Everyone discussed this topic with great interest. Carlos was quite close to Philip, so he felt proud to hear those comments. He knew that everyone was just jealous of Philip. The old monk stretched out his hand and invited Philip to go to his room. Philip nodded at his indication. “You look like a newcomer. Sure enough, the younger generation is taking over the world. For someone at your age to reach this level, you’re certainly a force to be
No one had ever seen the old monk, so they did not know what he was like. Philip and his party soon arrived at Zenith, which looked very grand just like a palace. The large arena in the middle was crowded with people. Everyone was looking at the stage, waiting to pay homage to this legendary old monk. Some people had seen the old monk and heard his lecture in the past. They felt that they had benefited from it, so they arrived early this time to grab a good spot. Others had never seen the old monk, but they knew they would benefit from his lecture about practice. Philip and Carlos squeezed into the middle of the crowd and found seats. Philip was very curious about the old monk and could not wait to see him. Soon, the old monk appeared in front of everyone. He looked very impressive. Seeing his attire, Philip felt that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person. His clothes were very expensive, not something anyone could afford. It was not only in reference to the pr
Rabbit was attacked by the spell before he could react. He stood on the spot blankly, wondering what was going on. Rabbit tried to move when he felt that something was wrong with him. He seemed to have lost control of his body and could not move. “You have no say in this matter. Since you left with me, it means that you've agreed to follow me.” The hooded man was calm. He did not think that Rabbit could escape his clutches easily. After all, the piece of yellow paper was not an ordinary item. He had gone to great lengths to get it. He could control the rabbit’s mind and body fearlessly with that piece of yellow paper. Over time, the rabbit would eventually become his puppet. The hooded man was very excited to think that he would have a powerful helper. Rabbit lost his senses and had no idea what happened. Subconsciously, Rabbit wanted to resist, but he could not for some reason. He could only stand and wait for orders. “Hey, bring me a glass of water,” the hooded man said
“I sense a familiar vibe from you. Where are you from?” Rabbit asked curiously. He had a feeling that this man did not belong to this world. He felt familiar. The man stared at Rabbit while thinking about how to take it away. “I have many secrets. Do you want to know more? Come with me, then. I can give you a good life and help you quickly level up. You can become the best rabbit in existence and stand at the top of this world!” Rabbit hopped over and nodded excitedly. He knew that this person was mysterious and weird, so he wanted to find out more. The hooded man was shocked that this rabbit was dumb enough to leave with him. However, he did not reveal his smugness and just held the rabbit in his arms devoutly. He never thought that he could have such a powerful pet. Thinking of this, he decided to do something to make this rabbit his own. This rabbit had developed intelligence, so it would not agree to become his pet so easily. Rabbit was just leaving with him, but being
