"It's my fault I failed your mother. Our parting was too abrupt back then. Where is her grave?" Adrian wanted to visit Rozi, to talk to her and share his experiences, hoping it would bring her peace."In the Southern Forest at Oxridge where you two lived together. I made all of Oxridge into her resting place. Mother often went there, so after she passed, I laid her to rest in the place she always longed for," Eloise replied."Did she ever say why she thought I didn't come for her?" Adrian asked.Eloise murmured, "She never said, but I think she believed you were dead. I often saw her crying alone in front of your portrait. She never showed her sorrow in front of me, only when she thought no one was watching...""Your hesitation is because of her, isn’t it?" Adrian asked.Eloise nodded. "If I have to stay here forever, I won't be able to visit her grave and talk to her. If that's the case, I'd rather not break through to level nine."Adrian smiled and said, "Silly child. In a few

[Adrian, if you see this letter, please find me at Oxridge. The time we spent here together was the happiest time of my life. You forged weapons, I made pills, and our lives were peaceful.[These past thousand years have been so hard because you weren't here. I didn't know where you were and searched everywhere but could never find you. I searched all over the Southern Forest but found no trace of you, nor had anyone heard of you. I combed through the South Sea, but the sea route was slow and the islands were countless, making it impossible to find you.[All my friends advised me to give up. Some even pursued me, but Adrian, do you know that my heart belongs only to you? Without you, the sky was always gray. I often went to the stall in Oxridge, reminiscing about our time together. If only Eloise had been with us then. Our family of three would have been so happy.[Eloise came to me just right on time, and she has been with me ever since. Without her, I don’t know what I would have

"Looks like I have a younger brother. So you’ve decided to abandon me since you have another child?" Eloise said, her voice growing louder and more accusatory with each word.Adrian speechless. He hurriedly tried to explain that that wasn’t the case, but no matter what he said, Eloise wasn’t hearing it. Defeated, he decided to change the subject and informed Eloise of his plan: to rectify the karmic entanglement caused by the faith he had established, erasing the beliefs of the people in the Southern Forest and the South Sea to avoid attracting the attention of that entity.The entity could sense level-nine immortals because their emergence generated faith power, which came from heaven rather than believers' prayers. The entity likely decided to cleanse anything that emitted this faith power. If Adrian didn't sever these beliefs, the entity might come down to eliminate the threat. He thought it best to avoid provoking such a powerful being."I have no choice but to let go," Adrian l

In other words, laws were unique and universal. Even the big shots outside of this world had to go through stages like the Body Training Stage, Foundation Stage, Golden Core Stage, the eight ranks, Integration Stage, and Void Abyss Stage before reaching the pinnacle of the immortal path.Eloise looked at Adrian with feigned pity and said, "Old man, you have to work hard in your training. Don’t worry, I'll supervise you.”This left Adrian feeling speechless. It seemed like Eloise intended to train him like Rozi had done with her. When Rozi taught Eloise, she was absolutely uncompromising. If Eloise wished to sleep, she was made to practice first. To go outside and play, she had no chance until she finished training.Under Rozi's strict guidance, Eloise had been pushed to level eight before Rozi's passing. Coupled with being from Weststar and possessing the Water Ethereal Physique, Eloise’s progress had been extremely rapid. Adrian, on the other hand, was just an outsider with poor ta

However, an opportunity had arisen. Alchemists in the maritime immortal regions devised a new alchemical method using the inner cores of dark beasts. It was well-known that dark beasts from grade two onwards produced inner cores, and these inner cores were used in training. Immortals would absorb the aura essence within the cores, however, they had discovered that the aura essence inside was unevenly distributed and had a very low absorption rate, which was seen as a significant waste. After several generations of effort, the maritime immortal regions mastered a breakthrough technology: using inner cores of dark beasts to craft celestial pills.Inner cores from grade two dark beasts could be refined into pills suitable for intermediate Body Training Stage immortals. Inner cores from grade three dark beasts could be crafted into pills suitable for advanced Body Training Stage immortals, and so forth. With high-grade inner cores, they could even produce pills that benefitted immortals u
