Upon hearing that, Federico paused for a moment before sneering, ââŠI understand, Master! I know what I have to do after this!â He already had a plan in mind. Regardless, since Gerald had placed such a high bid, nobody else was willing to even compete with him. Even Federicoâs fans were now staring at Gerald in surprise. After all, none of them had expected that this plain-looking person would actually own this much money! Now that they had witnessed how rich he was, some of them were already winking at him, desperately trying to gain his affection. Of course, when had such tactics ever worked on Gerald? Either way, while money clearly was no issue for him, Gerald wasnât one to spend on a whim. He was only willing to spend so much on the Heavenly Horsetail Whisk since he wanted to ask the organizer of the auction where and how he had gotten his hands on the whisk. With that, he requested to see the manager once the event was over. Upon hearing that, the service staff immed
After the door to the room was opened, Gerald, Terrance, and the others walked in. The second they entered, they were immediately greeted by the sight of Federico sitting at the main seat. A broad smile on his face as he stood up, Federico then said, âWhy hello there, Uncle Sherwin! I hadnât expected to meet you again so soon!â âSo youâre behind all this, Federico!â growled Terrance angrily. âNow, now, thereâs no need to get angry, Uncle Sherwin! Aside from wanting to reminisce with you, I also called you over today since I wanted to greet and extend my warmest welcome to Mr. Crawford!â replied Federico. Following that, he clapped his hands before ordering, âServe the tea to the guests!â Shortly after, a waitress walked over with a teapot in hand. However, as soon as the teapotâs cap was removed, it was revealed there was only tea powder inside! What more, the powder itself smelled extremely unpleasant! From that alone, it was obvious that Federico was saying that they were
Following that, both Federico and Manager Wafarer laughed out loud. Even the waitressâwho had been serving the dishesâonly seemed to stare coldly at their situation. After all, being targeted by Federico was akin to being personally selected by the devil to undergo an extremely tragic ending⊠âSurely you jest, Young Master Dun. You canât be serious about buying it for only ten dollars, can you?â replied Gerald, unsure of where Federico was even getting all this confidence. Was it just because he had the black-robed man by his sideâŠ? âI assure you that Iâm dead serious about that! Nothing more, and nothing less!â said Federico. ââŠVery well, then! Iâll agree under one condition!â replied Gerald with a smile. âState it!â âItâs simple, really. If you still wish for this deal to go through, youâll just have to sacrifice the lives of your family members! Once you agree with that, Iâll sell you the Heavenly Horsetail Whisk for ten dollars, just as youâve proposed. That should soun
For this person to just call out his name like that⊠Also, his tone suggested that he truly did know about Geraldâs past and background pretty well⊠ââŠHave we met before? I donât think I know any masters whoâve trained to achieve spiritual enlightenment!â said Gerald in slight surprise. Upon hearing that, both the black-robed man and Federico instantly burst out laughing. âAgain, you truly are as stupid as everâŠ! Regardless, I didnât expect you to still be able to remain this calm even after Iâve exposed your clunky acting! Either way⊠Do you really wish to know who I am? I fear youâll be overwhelmingly shocked once you know my true identity!â replied the black-robed man with a triumphant smile. After looking at the sneering Federico, Gerald then turned to face the black-robed man who was currently ridiculing him. He truly had no idea what was so funny. Regardless, while Gerald couldâve just used his divine vision to figure out who this person truly wasâgiven how crude his bl
âWell, from what youâve told me, I can safely say that you truly are one lucky person. Still, why the Yin Yang Master?â asked Gerald rather curiously. âTitles are usually awarded based on the receiverâs characteristics. Regardless, do you still think youâre all-powerful, Gerald?â scoffed Yin Yang. âWouldnât even dream about it!â replied Gerald as he shook his head. âYou can stop putting that act in front of me! While I admit that youâre extremely powerful and talentedâbased on our previous encounterâ, Iâll have you know that we had only seen a small portion of the world back then! Iâll say it right now that the true masters who control the world are those who train to attain spiritual enlightenment! With their extensive and near-incomparable power and abilities, theyâre easily able to dominate the world if they wanted to! As a fun fact, know that thereâs at least one person in every country who trains themselves to attain spiritual enlightenment!â âRegardless, even though Iâm a
Choosing not to answer him verbally, Gerald simply mimicked what Yin Yang had done earlierâin order to use the sword tacticâbefore pointing in a random direction⊠All of a sudden, the room began trembling wildly, causing the surrounding walls to crack and even begin crumbling! Following that, a massive sword that glowed purple and black began manifesting! The sheer force of the summoning process alone caused strong winds to blow, and the next thing Terrance and Manager Wafererâwho had been standing at the sideâknew, the corners of their mouths were already bleeding due to how sharp the blades of wind were! However, they were far too preoccupied with staring wide-eyed at the powerful-looking sword of light before them to even notice that they were hurt! It looked so powerful that it wouldnât be a stretch to say that it could easily topple the entire restaurant with a single swing! With a slight gesture, Gerald made the sword momentarily disappear⊠Once it reappeared, it was tiny
âP-please spare my life, Mr. CrawfordâŠ! I beg of youâŠ!â pleaded Yin Yang as he continued begging for mercy. Though Federico continued begging as well, he was simultaneously wondering why someone who was around the same age as him could be so powerful. After becoming Yin Yangâs disciple and entering the realm of training, Federico had naturally grown quite arrogant, and it was no easy task for him to willingly submit to a person from the bottom of his heart. With that in mind, he quickly regained his wits and began thinking that all of this was simply nonsense! There was no way he was going to just bow to the whims of a person his age! âIâm unconvinced of all thisâŠ! Even if master is willing to kowtow before you, I canât accept this at all! Iâm simply being a real man now by making a strategic submission! Mark my words, Iâll surely get back at you for all this one dayâŠ!â Federico thought to himself. By thinking of it as a strategic retreat, Federico became more willing to cont
Watching as Yin Yang nodded repeatedly, Gerald then said, âRepeat what I asked then before you answer my question!â Gulping, Yin Yang then muttered, âY-you asked me how I had obtained my title and why I had chosen to stay by Young Master Dunâs sideâŠ!â Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Yin Yang then added, âTruth be told, I only managed to figure all this out about half a year after training to attain spiritual enlightenment. Mr. Crawford, did you know that the world is more exciting and amazing than anything you couldâve ever imagined? For starters, thereâs a realm- no, an entire world that can be assessed by those training to attain spiritual enlightenment! However, you should also know that many of them later choose to live and work alongside regular people! We refer to this as joining society!â âSpeaking of which, while itâs true that those who have attained spiritual enlightenment have great power and influence that could easily be used to take control over planetâs order, i
Watching in fury as his black air blade dissipated, Daryl roared, âW-what powerâŠ!â As Daryl was too shocked to move, Gerald took the chance to yell, âAttackâŠ!â And just like that, a blazing light momentarily lit the entire skyâŠ! As surges of energy shot out in all directions, Darylâs devilish formation was reduced to dust in a matter of seconds! âNoâŠ!â howled the anguished Daryl as the earth beneath him cracked and clouds of dust flew everywhere! It was chaos incarnate⊠yet moments later, everything fell deathly silent. Gerald himself had already vomited a pool of blood by now, and as he fell unconscious, he could feel his body freezing up⊠Fast forward to three years later, Mayberry Commercial Street was as lively as ever⊠âDarling, itâs your brotherâs wedding day today⊠Shouldnât we head over earlier? Youâve been dolling yourself up for ages!â âFine, dad⊠Though, isnât Second Uncle already there to help set things up? That aside, my brotherâs gone through so many hardsh
âDarylâs been possessed by the Supreme Devilish Lord for ages, and the lord himself has been using your grandfatherâs body to attempt his resurrection! This cycle has been repeating for years, and the Supreme Devilish Lord has already captured many people with Yin physiques but thankfully failed! This grew so out of hand that the Soluna Deus Sect, or Sun League as you call them, have actively been trying to force the Supreme Devilish Lord to show himself!â âIn order to further deter the Supreme Devilish Lordâs efforts, theyâve even been kidnapping people with Yin physiques! Do you see the entire picture now, boy?â explained Finnley. ââŠSo thatâs the truth⊠Then, howâs Mila?â asked Gerald. âSheâs fine, but your reunion depends on whether we can destroy him this time!â replied one of the white-robed ladies. That was relieving to hear⊠Still, as it turned out, the Sun League werenât villains at all! They had simply been abducting people like his second uncle, Mila, and Leo for the
His chest felt like it was exploding, and it didnât take long for blood to spurt out of his mouth. What immense devilish powerâŠ! Following a sneer, the Nirvadevil sectâs master scoffed, âI know you raised your cultivation level this high because you want to learn more about the Sun League, but you should understand that devilish cultivators will always be stronger! Did you really think that acquiring the angelic inheritance would give you absolute power? How laughable! Your Herculean Primordial Spirit wonât save you this time!â Furrowing his brows, Gerald retorted, ââŠWho on earth are you? How do you know me so well? In fact, how do you know about my Herculean Primordial Spirit?â Laughing in response, the master then said, âOh, youâll know who I am soon! But before that, allow me to snatch your Herculean Primordial Spirit! I need to destroy it so that the sacred Primordial Devilish Internal Pellet can reign supremeâŠ!â Upon hearing that, Gerald couldnât help but frown even more.
ââŠThis formation. It feels⊠familiar,â muttered Sanchez. âSame thought here. I think itâs the Septelic Perishment Formation of the ancient Black Dragon Sect!â replied Gerald. âAh, no wonder it felt so familiar⊠Though, wasnât this formation lost to time ages ago? How did you learn of it?â asked the surprised Sanchez. The formation had been a legendary one that, as Sanchez had said, had been lost at the end of the ancient era. Just from its name alone, one could imagine that this immensely powerful formation had been used against the people of the Deitus Realm. In the end, however, the allies of the Deitus Realm still managed to destroy the Black Dragon Sect, thus leading to the destruction of all the sectâs other mysterious and bizarre formations⊠Naturally, they had made sure to obliterate all of them to ensure that nobody in the future would be able to threaten them like that again in the future⊠Whatever the case was, Gerald was quick to reply, âI read about it somewhere. Ho
Upon hearing Geraldâs question, Lord Ethern was prompted to reveal a few samples of the herbs they were locating⊠and it wasnât long before Gerald felt his eyes twitch. After all, those samples were herbs inherited by the ancient witches⊠In other words, they were the ones he was for as well! Naturally, Marcel recognized them as well, and he was quick to say, ââŠTheseâŠâ Noticing how the two were looking at the herbs, Darkwind muttered, ââŠI take it that the herbalist theyâre looking for really is Ms. Phoebe, Mr. Crawford?â ââŠWell, itâs hard to say if she is since Marcel already said that the timing wasnât right⊠Regardless, this is an important clue. Lord Ethern, was it? Could you elaborate a bit more on your master?â muttered Gerald as he turned to face the man again. âI really canât sayâŠ! Look, Master always appears before us in a shadowy form, so none of us have ever seen his face!â replied Lord Ethern while shaking his head. ââŠIs that the truth?â âI swear on my life!â exc
âFlaxen, you bloody traitorâŠ!â roared the three other lords who grew so angry that their faces went red!However, they had no time to remain angry since the Blancetnoir Double Lords and Sanchez had already made their move! As one would expect, it only took a single round for all three of the lords to crumble to the ground.With his eyes wide open, Lord Ethern stuttered, âWho⊠Who the hell are you peopleâŠ?!ââYou donât need to know that information. That aside, tell us what you four are planning to do already,â scoffed Gerald as he slowly approached the three defeated men.ââŠWho the hell do you think you are? What makes you think Iâll comply so easily?â growled Lord Ethren.Upon hearing that, Gerald raised his hand⊠and within a split second, Lord Ethern let out a bone-chilling wail. The Blancetnoir Double Lords had just snapped both of the poor manâs arms!âIf you want your other limbs intact, donât make me repeat the question,â growled Gerald.Now terrified, the agonized man replied,
From what Gerald could tell, all of them were devilish cultivators. After all, their auras were way different compared to regular cultivators like Gerald and demonic cultivators like Sanchez. Though he had read about devilish cultivators before in one of Uncle Zemanâs books, this was his first time actually coming across them. It was a while later when the frowning Sanchez muttered, âSo, they want to ambush some herb lady⊠Is she the one weâre looking for?â Sanchez, for one, had pretty much been frowning throughout his journey with Gerald. His only hope at the moment was for Gerald to find the person he was looking for as soon as possible. Otherwise, who knew how long that boy would continue controlling his life! Regardless, Marcel was quick to add, âI had the same thought, Mr. Crawford. After all, Phoebe excels not only in pharmacology, but also in all sorts of special techniques and formations!â Watching as Gerald nodded, the Blancetnoir Double Lords couldnât help but scoff,
There were two straightforward purposes of the trip. The first was to find Phoebe, the descendant of the ancient witches. Only by finding her would Gerald have a chance to locate Darylâs hideout⊠Hopefully the Yinblood pelletâthat was now in his handsâwould aid with that effort⊠As for the second goal, he was hoping to retrieve the inheritance according to the Zearlâs instructions. After all, heâd only stand a fighting chance against Daryl and the Soluna Sect after getting the inheritance. While it was true that Geraldâs cultivation level was currently one of the highest in all of the cultivation realm, the fact remained that Daryl practiced devilish cultivation, and those from the Soluna Deus Sect were already in the Deitus Realm. In other words, he was merely an ant to them, which was why he was making sure to fully prepare himself before confronting them. Though he now had Sanchez and the Blancetnoir Double Lords under his command, he still felt that he was underprepared⊠Re
Now that all three of them had been subdued with the Nineraid Band, the other big shot cultivators couldnât help but stare enviously at Gerald, knowing full well that theyâd never be able to obtain his angelic artifacts. After all, if he could take down the Blancetnoir Double Lords and Sanchez, then what chance did they have? By this point, Sanchez had managed to get to his feet, albeit with quite a bit of difficulty. Naturally, he no longer dared to make any rash moves on Gerald. Instead, he was prompted to resentfully say, âYouâre really something else, GeraldâŠ! It makes me wonder why you still need our help. After all, not only are you the sole person who knows the secrets of the generalâs tomb, but you also possess those angelic artifacts!â âOh, donât you worry about that. With how powerful you three are, Iâm sure youâll become indispensable assistants as we head to the North Desert in search of a certain someone! Speaking of which, if youâre already thinking about killing me t
