Ch. 2051..2060

Life After Prison Chapter 2051-At the foot of the mountain, Radyn watched in stark disbelief as the trio who went against Severin fled in the end. Earlier, he was worried for Severin’s safety and had braced himself to intervene in Severin’s moment of need to help share his senior’s burden.

After all, Sian was a renowned genius in Southsky who had slain even a level nine supreme saint even when he was only a level seven supreme saint. Such feats were not easy to accomplish, even for a renowned prodigy and core disciple like Celeste.

Radyn never expected the seemingly low–profile Severin to successfully pressure Sian into fleeing! When Sian unleashed the Golden Spirit Constitution, Radyn’s heart skipped a beat, and he was already preparing to bolt at the earliest opportunity.

It had hardly crossed his mind that Severin would inflict such severe injuries on Sian to the point where Sian was forced to retreat. He felt a mix of emotions as he gazed at Severin standing suspended in midair. ‘Severin has grown much stronger since that encounter on the Seventh Mountain… ‘ he thought to himself in awe.

There was a clear division between the Southsky’s prodigies. First, there were ‘ordinary‘ prodigies like Sian, Uzair, and Celeste. Such individuals were enough to hold their own against their realm, and at most, they could defeat those slightly stronger than them.

Then there were the ‘super‘ prodigies, who were usually the talk of the town.

These were individuals like Karl, Simeon, and Callie. They were blessed with divine constitutions and could effortlessly slay foes much stronger than them!

In Radyn’s eyes, Severin could already be mentioned in the same breath as those freaks, and his opinion was shared by many of the Grandiuno Sect’s disciples too.

Meanwhile, high above, Severin watched as the trio fled and showed no intention of pursuing them. It was never easy to kill supreme saints who were on the same level as each other.

Unlike royal saints, supreme saints boasted superior soul strength and bigger power reserves. No royal saint would be able to reach that sort of level. Activated meridians would allow them to utilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, effectively making them beasts in human form. Killing them was no easy feat.

Furthermore, Sian was no ordinary figure. He was the Gahrrs scion, and the Gahrrs were a renowned family in Southsky. They certainly had their means to ensure that their scion would not be felled that easily.

Severin thus chose not to delve in too deep for the attack. He sheathed the Scarletsky Sword and 1/2 +15 BONUS particular, was pale with fright, and her brows furrowed in concern. “Are you hurt, Severin?” she asked, her voice laced with urgency.

The aerial battle had been a terrifying episode for Gilda, as both Sian and Severin exuded power so strong that it felt as though they could send the sky crashing down at any time. The blows that they exchanged leveled several mountains, and the aftermath left several gaping ravine’s not too far away. Even the sky still bore the scars of their clash, with the gaps in the void taking some time to close up. It was natural for Gilda to feel worried after experiencing all that.

 

Life After Prison Chapter 2052-Sheila, Sofia, and Diane shared the same concern with Gilda. Severin looked at their anxious expression and offered a reassuring smile. “I’m alright,” he asserted.

Severin’s meridians then roared to life. A strong, furnace–like heat surged through him and caused the air to crackle with energy. It was a tangible display of his perfect–stage level seven supreme saint attainment, as his spiritual energy carried an awe–inspiring and imposing aura.

Diane and the girls could finally let out a sigh of relief.

Severin asked, “How did the harvest go?” The treasure mountain towered nearly a thousand meters high and had existed perhaps since time immemorial. Spiritual energy was so abundant that one could almost feel it liquefying. Precious alchemical herbs grew like weeds on its slopes, and although most were of a lower grade, those found halfway up the mountain had a rather impressive quality. They would not have attracted that many practitioners if not.

Having secured the Fire Phoenix Snow Lotus that was used for eighth–grade pills, Severin felt obliged to check on his wives.

Diane beamed with pride as she revealed the contents of her spatial ring. “I was lucky to find about ten sixth–grade herbs,” she said. With a wave of her hand, the stalks emitted a fragrance as they floated in front of them.

Sheila and the others followed suit and showcased what they gathered.

Severin smiled as he looked at their collection of sixth–grade high–rank herbs.

Wildfire was a legendary royal paragon whose presence could be felt even tens of thousands of years after his death. Even his abandoned cave held treasures galore.

Aside from the Sky–Soil Zenith and the promise of his combat techniques, the cave became a haven for spiritual energy, which had almost turned into a liquid form after being isolated for tens of thousands of years. The rich environment nurtured many alchemical herbs, some of which were several millennia old.

Although Severin was already a sixth–grade high–rank alchemist who was on the cusp of reaching seventhgrade, those sixth–grade pills were still valuable finds. His companions‘ success filled him with warm satisfaction.

“Now that I have the Fire Phoenix Snow Lotus in my hands, we shall try to see if there are any further bounties we can capitalize on,” Severin said with a glint in his eyes.

1/2 +15 BONUS The ruins left behind did not host mere herbs. Were that the case, it would not have drawn the attention of all the major sects and unaffiliated practitioners in Southsky. The allure of a royal paragon’s legacy, be it the Sky–Soil Zenith or other priceless techniques, was a lure too irresistible for any sane practitioners.

Possessing such treasures could propel one to unimaginable heights and might even be the key to turning one into a royal paragon.

Diane and the girls nodded in unison after hearing what Severin said. They all knew what was at stake.

After rallying the Grandiuno Sect disciples and informing them that they would soon be setting off, everyone spent a brief moment to take a breather before resuming the journey under Severin’s guidance.

As they navigated closer to the core of the ruins, they encountered an abundance of low–grade herbs along the way. Another radiantly glowing mountain soon came into Severin’s view. A formation guarded its peak, but it was clear that there were treasures aplenty.

Life After Prison Chapter 2053-The place was truly synonymous with that of a royal paragon’s abode.

Treasures were everywhere!

Though the few shimmering objects on the peak were slightly inferior spiritual treasures, they were still valuable enough for Severin not to pass up on.

Severin exclaimed in excitement, “Luck is on our side, it seems! Yet another treasure trove has emerged barely halfway into this place!” Severin then led his wives toward the mountain along with Radyn and the other Grandiuno Sect disciples.

By then, unaffiliated practitioners and disciples from Southsky’s major sects were already gathered at the mountain. A hush fell over the crowd as Severin arrived, as some had recognized who he was.

“Crap! That’s one of the Grandiuno Sect’s core disciples!” “He seems to be eyeing the mountaintop treasure too!” “You have no idea how strong he is. He inflicted serious injuries onto Sian!” “I didn’t know that!” “Let’s just forget about the treasure. Severin’s too strong for any of us!” Severin spotted a familiar face among the crowd. It was Tobias, who had fled earlier. A smile appeared on his lips as he said, “Hey, hey! Fancy meeting you again!” Tobias, who was surrounded by a dozen members of the Steeles, paled at Severin’s arrival. The memory of their clash for the Fire Phoenix Snow Lotus sent shivers down his spine. He managed a strained smile as he said, “What a coincidence.” At the same time, Tobias cursed his wretched luck. Meeting Severin again was the last thing he wanted.

Though he was not injured in their previous altercation, he was fully convinced of Severin’s strength because even his prized Soul Devouring Nail failed to pierce through Severin’s defenses. The thought of that sent shivers down Severin’s spine. (1 When Sian fled, Tobias seized the opportunity to escape because he did not want to waste any more time and energy fighting Severin. He regrouped his clansmen and started searching for treasure, which he eventually found. Alas, Severin seemed to be hot on his heels, as Severin found the same treasure too.

The possibility that he had to compete with Severin for the new set of treasures left Tobias with a sour taste in his mouth.

Severin led his group to an open area and did not continue the conversation with Tobias after greeting him. His observations informed him that the restriction would take some time to break, which provided 1/2 +15 BONUS As time ticked by, the mountain’s spiritual glow intensified and drew hundreds of practitioners toward it. Just as Severin finished his training and was about to stretch his muscles, he turned his head toward the distant sky. A blue light streaked across the horizon, and the energy from it seemed oddly familiar.

As the rainbow arced down, a voice filled with joyous surprise called out to him.

“Haha, I didn’t expect to find you here, Severin!” Raymond, one of the other core disciples, emerged from the light. A smile appeared across Severin’s face as he said, “It’s you! I thought you were someone else.” Severin had lost contact with Raymond, Celeste, and the others since entering the ruins.

Life After Prison Chapter 2054-By Severin’s initial estimate, he expected to encounter Celeste and Raymond at the center of the ruins. However, fate brought Raymond to him sooner than expected. With Raymond around, Severin was much more confident of securing the treasure on that mountain.

As anticipated, Raymond’s arrival sparked countless discussions among the assembled practitioners.

“That’s Raymond! The Grandiuno Sect’s fourth true disciple!” “Another prodigy graces us with his presence!” “Looks like the treasures are going to slip out of our grasp!” As Tobias witnessed Raymond’s arrival, his already unpleasant expression soured even more. His guard was up as he glared at a formidable foe.

After observing Raymond’s jovial exchange with Severin, Tobias cursed to himself, ‘Damn it! Why is Raymond here too?‘ Tobias might have been slightly confident in vying for the treasures if he only had to contend with Severin. Though he was afraid of Severin, he believed he might be able to hold his own against Severin. and secure at least one or two of the eight treasures on the mountain. He was already wary enough of Severin and felt pressured by Severin’s presence.

Having a level nine supreme saint like Raymond around was the final nail in the coffin that ended Tobias’s resolve. He was already considering retreating and abandoning the fight for the treasures. After all, Raymond’s interests were the same as Severin’s because they were both from the same sect. Challenging one of them was the same as challenging two at once. It was no doubt an unattractive prospect.

The memory of Severin injuring Sian haunted Tobias. He glanced fiercely at Severin and reluctantly gathered his sect’s members before leaving in search of other treasures.

‘Better luck elsewhere‘, he thought.

Tobias’s retreat piqued Raymond’s/curiosity. As far as he knew, Tobias’s strength rivaled his own, and they were both Southsky’s celebrated prodigies. It seemed to Raymond that Tobias was afraid of Severin.

He eyed Severin with a frown and asked, “Why did Tobias glare at you so ruthlessly before he left?” Even Severin was baffled by what happened. He offered a wry smile. “Haha, I suppose he’s just terrified of me.” Raymond’s confusion grew. “Why would he be?” 1/2 At that point, their fellow disciples chimed in and began talking about what happened earlier.

+15 BONUS “You might not know this yet, but Severin had never once lost the upper hand when facing Sian, Uzair, and Tobias! He even wounded Sian…” Disbelief appeared on Raymond’s face. He was aware of the formidable strength that all three individuals shared, for their skills were not far beneath his. If he were under siege by the trio, his only option would be to retreat, rather than taking all three head–on and injuring one of them. Yet, the unwavering conviction in their voices sowed a seed of doubt in his mind.

He turned to Severin and asked, “Is that true?” Severin offered a helpless nod.

The confirmation that Severin had indeed injured Sian left Raymond speechless, and his eyes were wide

Life After Prison Chapter 2055-Raymond stared at Severin with his mouth agape. He knew that Sian was blessed with the Golden Spirit Constitution and had always been regarded as the Gahrrs‘ prodigy. Sian was perfectly capable of killing someone stronger than him, even at a young age, and Peak Master Myles of the Seventh Mountain had specifically cautioned them about being careful around Sian.

As a level eight supreme saint with the Golden Spirit Constitution, Sian’s strength easily surpassed even some level nine peers. Raymond, at level nine himself, might manage to overpower him, but Severin, level seventh supreme saint, had taken it a step further and went against three formidable opponents!

а For ordinary practitioners, the small gap between each stage might as well be an abyss. The higher one progressed, the bigger the chasm would become.

Though a level three warrior king might be able to defeat level eight or level nine warrior kings by relying on proper techniques and stellar weapons, such instances were downright impossible for supreme saints.

Each stage within a level involved unlocking several meridians, with the end goal of activating all 365 of them. Those meridians stored vast amounts of spiritual energy, so the power disparity between each half- stage was thus very huge.

Supreme saints were mostly from Southsky’s elite sects and families. Therefore, they had similar levels of weapons or Star–grade techniques. Combat techniques and weapons were the same in terms of ability, which was why those who could go beyond a stage to kill someone stronger were the true mark of a prodigy. Achieving that feat, but with two stages instead of one, was something only the best of the best could do.

Though core disciples were expected to possess that level of talent, Sian was not some random opponent. The Gahrrs esteemed scion was well–known for his abilities, for he had slain level nine supreme saints despite being two levels lower. It was a case of his reputation speaking for itself!

Meanwhile, Severin had achieved something similar against three enemies, a feat Raymond himself might not have been able to accomplish.

After snapping back to his senses, Raymond looked at Severin with a mix of awe and admiration. “You’re so much stronger than you seem! never would have thought that you could defeat a prodigy like Sian…” Severin remained humble as he looked at the complex emotions on Raymond’s face. “It’s all luck.” “You’re too modest,” Raymond said with a chuckle. He shook his head and added, “Even I’m not confident of going against three opponents, let alone injuring one.” Sian, Uzair, and Tobias were all renowned figures in their own right. Defeating any one of them was an uphill challenge.

Raymond soon recalled his initial skepticism when the sect created a core disciple position simply for a 

Life After Prison Chapter 2056-Raymond’s curiosity was piqued when Severin first joined the sect, and he questioned what qualifications Severin had that led the sect to carve out such a status for him.

What soon followed was a whirlwind of achievements, whereby Severin surpassed Emery on the Alchemy Tower ranking and defeated Shyam, who was ranked ten on the prodigy rankings. He later reached the seventh floor of the Alchemy Tower and became the first ever disciple in its millennia–long history to be ranked first.

Only half a year had passed, yet it seemed as though time had turned into a blur. The previous days faded into obscurity, yet Severin continued to stun everyone with his meteoric rise.

Raymond had always wanted to build a strong rapport with Severin because he hoped to secure the position of the next sect leader. However, that dream seemed more and more distant as he was cast into Severin’s shadow.

Spencer and Riley, the second and third core disciples, were just as formidable and should not be underestimated. As a result, Severin’s presence added yet another layer of intrigue that left Raymond in awe.

Severin did not want to dwell too much on the shock in Raymond’s response, so he turned to the mountain and said, “The formation seems to be weakening there. Let’s focus on getting this done and over with.” Raymond looked in the direction of Severin’s gaze and observed the protective veil shrouding the mountain. The weakening barrier was not going to hold for long, and a frenzy of practitioners was already gathering at the foot of the mountain. They were all waiting for the barrier to fall so they could vie for the treasure.

However, those inferior–quality treasures did not captivate Raymond as much as the potentially better ones at the center of the ruin, and he would rather not waste too much time on them.

With renewed determination, he looked at Severin and said, “Let me breach this barrier then.” Raymond soared into the air and unleashed his level nine supreme saint spiritual energy. He raised his hand, condensed several rays of divine light into a colossal palm, and swung it straight down from the sky.

The palm was as big as a hill and radiated a terrifying aura as it slammed right into the formation. The impact sent ripples across the barrier that resembled waves on a lake.

Raymond continued his relentless attacks on the barrier, but the royal paragon’s legacy proved to be 1/2 +15 BONUS Frustration built up in Raymond’s eyes as the barrier showed no sign of letting up. At long last, he raised his hand again and produced a small, palm–sized, green mark with a wave of his hand.

“Go forth!” he roared, and the mark erupted in a vibrant green light. It soared into the air and expanded to the size of a mountain. It later glowed with a green light before crashing into the barrier.

The mark then exploded, sending a shockwave that ripped through the air and swirled up the sand. The barrier then shattered, and its remnants dissipated into the air in streams of light.

The eight treasures shone even brighter when the barrier crumbled as if announcing their uniqueness to the world. Everyone who had been waiting at the foot of the mountain surged toward the peak for their shot at claiming their prize.

Severin led his group right up and prepared to join the fray.

Life After Prison Chapter 2057-The peculiar fog that once covered the mountain soon dissipated. Severin reached the peak swiftly with his level seven supreme saint attainment, even though he had to lead his woman over too.

Severin beheld the eight radiant spiritual treasures when he arrived at the peak.

The first was a flame–emitting fan that possessed radiant energy and was attuned to fire.

The second was a three–foot–long black ruler that emanated a blackish shimmer. Engraved with etchings of the stars, sun, and moon, it was capable of obstructing a practitioner’s divine senses.

The third was a crystal–clear, five–foot–long sword. It was smaller and more graceful than ordinary swords, but the energy emanating from it was excruciatingly cold.

Other treasures included a small cauldron, a glowing broadsword, a polearm with a phoenix and a dragon engraved on it, and a humanoid puppet–like item. As the protective formation’s restriction broke, these treasures seemed to awaken as the energy within them burst forth, causing them to glow. The treasures then took on a mind of its own and ascended into the sky to try and flee.

Spiritual treasures derive their name from their inherent spirituality and the ability to harness the power of heaven and earth. Unlike Severin’s prior acquisitions, such as the Fire Phoenix Snow Lotus, true spiritual treasures resisted ownership and sought escape when they sensed the collapse of the protective restriction.

The practitioners on the mountaintop took note of what was happening and tried to restrain the escaping treasures. Several people began shouting frantically to draw attention to the flying treasures.

“Hurry up or they’ll slip from our grasp!” “Contain them!” “These treasures have been silently undergoing change for tens of thousands of years after being nurtured by the ruins‘ vast spiritual energy. They’re now the embodiment of spiritual energy itself! We can turn them into elite–quality items if we manage to get them!” Only a handful managed to control the treasures, but most were swiftly thrown off by the treasures‘ formidable aura. Upon seeing this, Severin and his group wasted no time and engaged in a fervent struggle with whatever they could get their hands on.

Diane unleashed the energy of her perfect–stage level four supreme saint attainment. Using the Gigantic Hand Crusher, she reached for the flaming fan.

Meanwhile, Gilda tapped a point in the space in front of her, summoning a massive holographic thumbprint that descended from the sky and secured the small treasures of choice.

Many knew of Diane and the girls‘ elite status, so they refrained from contending with them for the treasures. Those who had yet to get anything shifted their focus to the other treasures available.

Raymond also intended to obtain a treasure after breaching the formation.

Though he had reached the level where inferior–quality spiritual treasures did not interest him in the slightest, he was enticed by them because they had built up boundless spiritual energy after tens of thousands of years. By finding appropriate materials for refinement, he could even elevate them to medium or even high–quality treasures! That prospect was too tempting for Raymond to pass up on.

Life After Prison Chapter 2058-Severin decisively extended his palm and seized the puppet–shaped spiritual treasure, which he could subdue with ease due to his strength as a level seven supreme saint. After securing what he wanted, he assisted his wives in acquiring their chosen treasures. All treasures were soon snapped up.

Raymond claimed two: the small bell and the polearm.

Severin and his wives jointly obtained four spiritual treasures.

The humanoid puppet that Severin subdued was known as the Supreme Saint Puppet. When activated, it could display abilities equivalent to that of a level nine supreme saint and be instructed to fight on one’s behalf. Severin found it intriguing more than anything.

The fan that Diane secured was known as the Seven–Bird Fire–Feather Fan. It was a fearsome weapon made from the feathers of seven fire–attributed feathered monsters, and it was capable of unleashing a sky full of flames.

Gilda’s acquisition, the Sense–Shut Ruler, possessed properties similar to Tobias’s Soul Devouring Nail. It was capable of restraining a practitioner’s divine senses and launching direct attacks on a practitioner’s soul. The Black Ice Sword that Sheila and Sofia acquired was crafted from ten thousand years of deepsea black ice. It was capable of cutting through vast expanses of ice with little effort.

Severin was content with the four spiritual treasures and decided to leave the remaining items for the other practitioners in the vicinity. The final items were claimed by a disciple of the Deifirm Sect and an unaffiliated practitioner whose strength was that of a level six supreme strength.

Although many onlookers were disappointed because they had not managed to obtain any spiritual treasures, they avoided stirring up trouble after witnessing Severin’s strength against Sian earlier. Some lucky ones managed to obtain refinement materials on the peak that they could use to create their own spiritual treasures.

Severin and his group then ascended into the sky and joined Raymond in mid– air. Raymond had a twinge of envy as he looked at Severin’s bountiful harvest.

“You’re a lucky man, Severin. Congratulations for securing four spiritual treasures.” Severin modestly downplayed his achievement, “You’re being too kind. These are just inferior–quality spiritual treasures.” Raymond then proposed, “Shall we hasten to the ruins‘ central area? Uzair and others might already be there.” Severin nodded, acknowledging that the central region held more opportunities.

In particular, the Sky–Soil +16 BONUS achieving success in mastering the Sky–Soll Heptagold Sword Energy, and he was eager to claim that valuable resource.

Severin wasted no time in urging Raymond, “Let’s go, then.” With that, he led Diane and the others in a swift ascent toward the central area.

 

Life After Prison Chapter 2059-Nightfall came, and Severin sat cross–legged on a deserted hill to begin his training. Having covered less than a hundred miles in their journey toward the central area during the day, the group found themselves in an environment saturated with nearly spiritual energy. It was the perfect location for seclusion, but the relentless pursuit of treasures within the ruins always necessitated wariness.

As they approached the center of the ruins, Severin observed a growing number of practitioners in the vicinity. Elite disciples from major sects, such as the Deifirm Sect and Purevoid Sect, engaged in skirmishes over higher grade herbs. Raymond and Severin had faced several attempts to rob them, but Raymond’s interventions successfully thwarted any potential threats. Even so, they all decided that it would be best to choose a hill to rest for the night and regain their strength.

Reflecting on the day’s encounters, Severin pondered, ‘Wildfire’s legacy has yet to show up, and there is already conflict within the ruins. I won’t be surprised if a bloodbath erupts when the Sky–Soil Zenith is finally found. Even though I can easily deal with a level nine supreme saint, that still isn’t enough to ensure everyone’s safety. I’ll have to make a breakthrough.” The fierce competition for the Wildfire’s legacy attracted numerous talented individuals. Aside from the Deifirm Sect’s Sian and the Steeles‘ Tobias, the two leaders of the Purevoid and Marvair Sects were level nine supreme saints too.

Even Raymond was a potential adversary! Though Severin acknowledged that they were both core disciples of the sect, there was no telling whether Raymond would give in to the temptation of betraying a fellow core disciple when faced with the precious legacies. Challenging numerous level nine supreme saints single–handedly was a daunting task, especially since his wives‘ safety was paramount.

Severin sighed after contemplating the situation and realized just how important it was for him to rise.

above others to secure his chances of getting the valuable treasures. With that in mind, Severin made a difficult decision. “I guess I have no choice but to use this to get a breakthrough…” He intended to save the Fire Phoenix Snow Lotus for future alchemical breakthroughs, but he felt that there was a pressing need for him to use it and raise his attainment.

Severin turned to Raymond, who was recovering nearby, and asked respectfully, “I’ll have to trouble you to keep watch over me tonight.” Upon hearing that, Raymond’s eyes widened in surprise. “Are you on the cusp of a breakthrough to level eight supreme saint?” Raymond was puzzled because he remembered that Severin made a breakthrough to level seven only very recently. He could not help but wonder if breakthroughs were second nature to those with a divine +15 BONUS Severin shook his head with a bitter smile and said, “No. But I sense that the battle at the center of the ruins will escalate into bloodshed, so I’m planning to utilize the Fire Phoenix Snow Lotus for a breakthrough ahead of time.” Raymond’s eyes glimmered enviously at Severin’s possession of the Fire Phoenix Snow Lotus. They were crucial materials for refining a pill that could allow one to make a breakthrough into royal paragon.

Life After Prison Chapter 2060-Such rare treasures would spark heated altercations even between paragons.

Practitioners would generally store such an ingredient carefully and wait until they found the necessary ingredients to refine everything into a seventh–grade pill capable of aiding one in a breakthrough. Severin, however, faced an unfortunate situation of having to consume the ingredient to secure a breakthrough to level eight supreme saint.

Though there was no doubt about the herb’s ability to propel one into making a breakthrough to paragon, it proved less cost–effective than the pill’s efficacy in reaching the level of a royal paragon. As a result, most practitioners would choose to use it as an ingredient for the pill rather than consuming it.

Deep down, Raymond was getting envious of Severin and began to wonder why he had yet to be lucky enough to come across such items. Nevertheless, he did not let his jealousy get the better of him and retained some measure of rational thinking. Were he not from the same sect as Severin, he would have had no hesitation in snatching the herb from Severin.

However, he had already decided to strike up a good friendship with Severin.

Furthermore, it would be rather foolish of him to make an enemy out of Severin just for the sake of an herb. After all, he recognized that Severin was a strong individual who made progress at breakneck speed.

He nodded and assured Severin, “Don’t worry. I’ll keep watch over you.” He led Radyn and the other disciples away so the turbulence in spiritual energy would not affect the disciples too much later.

Severin was appreciative of Raymond’s understanding and offered some guidance to Diane and the girls.” I think you should descend the mountain too. The breakthrough might cause instability in the surrounding spiritual energy and produce some unusual phenomenon. The strong pressure will probably extend several hundred miles away, and I wouldn’t want any of you to be injured.” A look of worry appeared in Diane’s eyes. She was no longer a newbie to the world of attainment, so she knew just how precious the Fire Phoenix Snow Lotus was! It was no exaggeration to say that even paragons would froth at the mouth at such a valuable item!

She communicated with him through her divine senses, saying, “It’s such a valuable herb, Severin. Don’t you think it’ll be such a waste to just eat it like that? Won’t this attract attention and spark jealousy in other people?” Severin received her anxious message and replied using the same mode of communication. “Don’t worry.

Although I haven’t known Raymond for long, he is a core disciple of the sect.

He’s shown much kindness and even sent us gifts in a show of sincerity.” +15 BONUS Severin’s reasoning seemed to be a sound one, so she nodded and said to him, “Okay. But we’ll keep watch secretly too.” After telling the girls to be careful, Severin erected a formation and swallowed the Fire Phoenix Snow Lotus. His entire body was instantly flooded with a surge of life essence and energy while his energy core transformed into a sea of spiritual liquid that shone with countless golden lights.

Green lotuses entwined with the divine scripture of philosophy emerged from that sea.

To the external observer, Severin resembled a god that emanated a terrifying aura. It tore through the surrounding void, creating ripples that reached hundreds of miles away.

Practitioners in the area were shocked by Severin’s immense aura, and they voiced their astonishment and disbelief as they witnessed the extraordinary phenomenon in the sky.

“Is someone training here?” “That person’s spiritual energy is insanely terrifying!” “Somebody must’ve made a breakthrough to level eight supreme saint. This spectacle is so intimidating!” “That person must be super lucky to achieve a breakthrough!
