Adrian waited for the Supreme Master and the others to make their final decision.After a moment of silence, the Supreme Master finally spoke. "Hmm, I think your suggestion makes sense. Let's do as you say!"Following this decision, the Supreme Master and the others went to the faction square and summoned all the apprentices. They shared all the information with them.Initially, they expected the apprentices to be shocked or terrified upon hearing such news. To their surprise, the reactions were rather calm, and many expressed their willingness to actively contribute and help the faction overcome the challenges.This response warmed the hearts of the elders. As Adrian had stated, all the apprentices acted promptly, showing no hesitation.*After four to five days of intense efforts, everything was finally arranged. Now, they were fully prepared for what lay ahead.However, in the long period that followed, no one came to cause trouble in the faction. This strange occurrence puzz
"Is this your defense? Useless!" The shadowy figure roared in disdain. Then, it charged straight toward the crowd.Despite the initial assault not breaking through their defenses, subsequent attacks followed rapidly, displaying significant strength.Frostspire's members, however, had mobilized all their power. Their defensive capabilities were not inferior to their attackers. Despite the invaders' relentless efforts, they failed to breach the faction's defenses."We'll retreat!" The invaders realized they couldn't gain any advantage and immediately vanished from sight.Simultaneously, Adrian swiftly moved, already in a rainforest beneath Frostspire. Normally, within the faction's influence, all creatures, even insects and birds, would remain peaceful due to the powerful enchantments. The appearance of bandits and thieves was unthinkable unless they sought death, as the protective formations would instantly annihilate them.Yet, there were strange footsteps now, resembling the soun
Adrian wasn't foolish. After experiencing some setbacks, he learned from them. He immediately circulated the aura essence within his body, emulating the black-robed man by empowering his entire body. Instantly, his muscles bulged, and his arms seemed to have grown a full circle. He appeared more robust overall.Engaging in combat became less strenuous for Adrian. His innate advantage of having abundant spiritual energy gradually nullified the man's superiority. Adrian even managed to find an opportunity to directly punch the man's chest, sending him flying into a tree.As the man crashed into the tree, another figure landed before Adrian. This time, it was a woman dressed in black. However, unlike the man, her black attire bore a phoenix emblem.One dragon and one phoenix—it seemed these two were a pair. The woman addressed the man, "Ignatius, take a rest for a while. I'll deal with this kid."Adrian sensed a peculiar aura emanating from the woman, a pervasive spiritual energy with
When faced with imminent death, most people would display unprecedented tension, and some might even break down.However, Adrian's composure was a rarity that few could achieve. Taking a deep breath, he knew that resisting head-on was futile. Victory lay in clever strategy.Now, Adrian understood that his only chance against Solaris was to utilize the abundant spiritual energy within him. However, releasing this potent energy became a current dilemma.As the breath of death drew nearer, Adrian found himself in a predicament. Finally, the blade cut into his skin, and blood oozed out, accompanied by sharp pain. This pain acted as a catalyst, igniting a surge of powerful spiritual energy within him.Simultaneously, Adrian released a thunderous roar, stopping Solaris' assault.Solaris somersaulted several times in mid-air before stabilizing herself.Upon closer inspection, Adrian stood unharmed in his original position. His eyes glowed crimson, and a terrifying aura enveloped him, em
Fear filled Ignatius' eyes, leaving him bewildered and unsure. The gruesome death of Solaris sent shivers down his spine. The young teenager before him seemed to harbor a devil within his body."Please, spare me! I'm willing to hand over all the treasures on me!" pleaded Ignatius.Adrian replied, "But you wanted to kill me just now!""Great sir, forgive me for being ignorant! We didn't recognize you earlier. You're powerful! Don't lower yourself to deal with people like us. We are just following orders!""Following orders? Who gave the orders? Speak!" Adrian rebuked angrily."This..." Ignatius hesitated. The person behind this was incredibly powerful, far beyond their ability to resist. Revealing the information might result in instant death. They were just small fry, incapable of resisting.Seeing Ignatius remain silent, Adrian snorted. "Fine, keep it to yourself. I don't want to kill you, actually. Now, hand over everything you have and then get lost. Don't step within the rang
From intermediate level seven, he broke through to the peak stage. The pinnacle of level seven marked a soaring advancement. The path ahead would be even more expansive. Someday, he would truly reach the summit!The joy in Adrian's heart was beyond words. His body trembled, and the accumulated snow around him scattered. With a leap, he moved out, his agility now several times greater than before. As he darted through the woods, he resembled a fleeting shadow, incredibly swift.At that moment, a voice echoed. "I didn't expect you to reach the profound stage in just a year, truly beyond my imagination!"The Supreme Master appeared seemingly out of nowhere. He walked over to Adrian and said, "Your talent in the immortality arts is truly remarkable. Achieving such results in just a year is truly commendable."Adrian scratched his head and responded modestly. "It's nothing, Supreme Master, you're too kind."The Supreme Master looked at Adrian, holding a bottle of pills and a paper tali
Suddenly, golden light shimmered, sealing off the entrance completely.The Supreme Master said, "This is an isolating formation. What I'm about to tell you must not be heard by anyone. Simultaneously, you cannot reveal it to anyone! You must swear here. The oaths we immortals make are very effective. Violating the oath will incur heavenly retribution!"Adrian found it strange that the Supreme Master had suddenly become so serious. Nevertheless, he replied, "Alright, Supreme Master, I swear. If I disclose what you tell me later, I will incur heavenly retribution!"Adrian's response was straightforward. The Supreme Master sighed when he saw Adrian's prompt reply and began explaining everything.Originally, the Supreme Master was a white fox living deep in the mountains. Foxes were naturally intelligent creatures, especially white foxes, which were rich in spiritual energy.Through a fortuitous encounter, the Supreme Master obtained a legacy left behind by an ancient immortal, transf
Those at his level would not want his consciousness and soul to vanish to preserve their centuries of training. Therefore, he needed Adrian's spiritual energy to ensure the stability of his spirit core, facilitating a seamless cycle of reincarnation. That way, he would be able to unlock the wisdom of his past life in the next life and continue his training.Adrian's role seemed insignificant, but it was advantageous for someone like the Supreme Master. With the Supreme Master's abilities, the most important thing was to keep his soul intact. Even if he met his demise, as long as he awakened the wisdom of his past life in the next one, he would be able to start on his training immediately. Many predecessors chose this method to prevent unforeseen circumstances.Adrian listened and asked with some confusion, "Why would someone like you risk dying? I thought you could live forever?"The Supreme Master explained, "We're not gods, after all. We experience birth, aging, sickness, and
