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
Unfortunately, Philip was so strong that the coffin could not affect him. The other party had no way to control Philip, let alone absorb his energy to replenish itself. “I think we should leave as soon as possible!” Rabbit suggested cautiously. Rabbit could not help but feel that this scary place was like a large cemetery. It felt as if it would die here. “Something's wrong. Look around you. Don’t you think we're trapped in an enclosed space? The water in the underground river seems stagnant,” Philip reminded Rabbit to look around. Rabbit looked down and found that the underground river was not flowing at all, just like a pool of stagnant water. “Oh no, we’re trapped. What should we do?” Rabbit said in fright. If they had not entered the underground river, they could have easily summoned the crane to take them out. Now that they were trapped in this place, however, no one knew what to expect. At this time, Philip saw a huge beast that seemed to be guarding the coffin.
While the cow was not paying attention, Philip kicked Rabbit and sent it flying a distance away. Rabbit did not expect that Philip would throw it away and screamed before it landed next to the coffin. It shivered when it saw the coffin, which was very spooky. “Philip, you don’t care about my feelings at all! I’m afraid of the dark. Do you think I can look this thing in the eye?” Rabbit trembled as it approached the coffin. Although it complained with all its might, it had to complete the task assigned by Philip. The cow never noticed the rabbit’s presence. It was so small that it was no different than a fly. A talking rabbit could not do any harm. Philip quickly fought the cow. He had to admit that the cow's reaction was faster than he thought. Although the cow was huge, it was very fast. Rabbit tentatively stroked the coffin in puzzlement. At this distance, there was nothing scary about this terrifying coffin. “I thought the coffin could swallow me whole, but it’s so…” R
After taking so much flesh and blood, the coffin was already full of evil and no longer a pure existence. Philip knew that this thing had something to do with him. “What’s inside? Why does it need so much flesh and blood, and what is it used for? Does the coffin use the same technique as me?” Philip was tempted to pry open the coffin. He had no time to waste with the cow and simply killed it with one blow. The cow’s meat seemed pretty good, so he stuffed it into the space without wasting it. He then took out a dart and threw it at the coffin. The dart hit the coffin, but it stood motionless and undamaged. Philip knew how much strength he used. He then took out a whip and swung it at the coffin. He thought that maybe the dart was not strong enough to break the coffin. Hence, he decided to use a more forceful method to break open the coffin. If that failed again, he had to use something like an ax. “The giant salamanders were devoured of their flesh and blood upon contact wit
“These creatures are called Rainbow Butterflies. They're a rare treasure that you can hardly find on this continent, but I caught seven here! After eating them, I can recover part of my memory and strength. I’ll no longer be a useless rabbit that can only rely on others!” Rabbit was so excited that it wanted to jump and show Philip its strength right now. “It was rumored that these butterflies carry the bloodline of phoenixes. Maybe I can be reborn from the ashes because of them! These butterflies are amazing. Philip, I think you should take a few bites!” Seeing Rabbit gloating after eating all the butterflies, Philip really wanted to kick it. “Since you’re so kind, why didn't you leave me a few?” Philip rolled his eyes, but he was quite proud of Rabbit. It would be great if the other party could regain its strength. However, Philip did not value its strength. Philip could easily build up its strength with pills. What he wanted was Rabbit’s memory. If Rabbit could recov
“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
